Surrounded by a group of burly demonic men who threatened to turn him into a puppet, Li Si was consumed by rage. With Leng Rushuang in his arms on the verge of death, his mind was preoccupied with the matter, and he forgot his fear. Seeing a demonic cultivator instantly explode, he realized these people were no ordinary enemies and couldn't be judged by common sense. So, he steeled himself and arrogantly declared:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me! Go and inform the Demon Ancestor!"
Hiss~
A group of burly men gasped, turning to scrutinize Li Sisui. Their gazes then settled on the critically injured Leng Rushuang. The leader, though imposing without anger, at least spoke with some politeness, tentatively probing:
May I ask your name, sir?
You don't deserve it!
"You... Demon Ancestor is at a critical juncture in refining pills, and he is not seeing anyone. The entire area within a hundred miles has been sealed off. Anyone who steps in will die!"
The leader took a deep breath. Seeing Li Sisui's arrogance, he didn't dare to be too forceful. If this person really had some connection with the Demon Ancestor, it would be difficult to handle the situation. Fortunately, he discovered it in time. As long as he handled things officially, even the Demon Ancestor couldn't do anything to him!
Seeing that his arrogant attitude had not angered the group of burly men, but instead made their leader hesitant to act, Li Sisui was overjoyed. He didn't have time to think too much at the moment; saving Leng Rushuang was the priority. Since she was the Demon Ancestor, saving someone would be a piece of cake.
"He notified me to come, and now he doesn't plan to see me? Is he playing me?"
"this……"
The leader looked troubled. Li Sisui's words were so detailed and convincing that he was now a little apprehensive. The main reason was that he had confirmed this area repeatedly and that no one else, except for them, had noticed that these two people had suddenly appeared at the critical moment when the Demon Ancestor was refining pills!
Furthermore, the people the Demon Ancestor usually associates with are all eccentric individuals, and the aura of the person before him is indeed somewhat similar. He has been punished quite a bit for this situation before, so before confirming the identity, he dares not overstep his bounds too much, and is truly in a dilemma...
Just as the leader looked troubled, a slightly thin, burly man beside him, his expression shifting as if he had noticed something, subtly approached the leader and whispered:
"Commander, I just risked checking the cultivation levels of these two people, and discovered that they don't belong to Demon Mountain at all. They don't have a trace of demonic energy on them; instead, they exude a faint aura of immortality, making them seem like people from the foot of the mountain!"
A ferocious look flashed across the commander's face. He licked his chapped upper lip with his scarlet tongue, then turned to look at Li Sisui, who had a serious expression on his face, and said:
"You audacious madman! You infiltrated Demon Mountain, impersonated a demonic cultivator, and even dared to claim kinship with the Demon Ancestor! You've truly lost your mind!"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding burly men instantly unleashed their cultivation, becoming filled with demonic energy. The demonic energy seemed to be tangible, surrounding them, and each of them was like a demon god descending to earth. Their pressure came down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down. Li Sisui was caught completely off guard and was immediately pressed to the ground, struggling to breathe.
"You... your Demon Ancestor summoned me to help. If you delay the Demon Ancestor's alchemy, none of us here will get away with it!"
Li Sisui braced himself on the ground, gritting his teeth, inwardly groaning. These people were indeed no good; they were ready to fight at the slightest provocation. It seemed they had discovered that he had no trace of demonic cultivation. But now he was caught in a dilemma and had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight to the bitter end. Fortunately, he had the protagonist's halo, so Li Sisui was somewhat confident. He just didn't know if this halo would be effective in the Demon Mountain region.
The Grand Commander's face was contorted with rage, his eyes darting around uncertainly. He had to take Li Sisui's confident words seriously. Just then, the purple light overhead suddenly burst forth with bursts of brilliance, and thunderclaps, louder and louder, rang out, as if countless bombs were exploding overhead!
"Commander, the Pill Tribulation is upon us. It's time to protect the Pill. What should we do?"
The group of burly men looked anxious. The rolling thunder above their heads was a sign of the impending calamity of the pill. The reason they gathered here was twofold: firstly, to eliminate interference from irrelevant people; and secondly, and most importantly, to protect the pill itself from being destroyed by the escaping heavenly lightning, as required by the Demon Ancestor!
With the Demon Ancestor's strength, his actions would certainly not be ordinary. The Demon Ancestor personally refined the pill, so one can imagine what kind of peerless pill it was. It was expected that it would attract a pill tribulation. It would be strange if no pill tribulation descended. If this pill is successful, the Demon Ancestor's mood will not be too bad for at least several hundred years. As long as the Demon Ancestor is happy, their lives will be much easier and more comfortable!
Seeing the commander-in-chief hesitate, a burly man said anxiously:
"How about we just kill these two on the spot? The Demon Ancestor values this pill highly. If anything goes wrong during the refining process, none of us will escape; we'll all be buried with him!"
"Execute? That's quite an arrogant statement. Why don't you try?"
Li Sisui glared at him with disdain. Despite being the protagonist, he didn't believe anyone could kill him on the spot. Unless the protagonist's halo didn't work in Demon Mountain, not only would these burly men in front of him be helpless against him, but even the so-called Demon Ancestor they were talking about wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
Although he was pinned to the ground by endless pressure and unable to move, he didn't stop talking. Since he had already gone all in, what else did he have to worry about?
"A bunch of idiots! When I see the Demon Ancestor, I will skin you alive and suck your marrow dry!"
"What are you dawdling for? Don't you all have brains? Take me to see the Demon Ancestor, and everything will become clear. What you've done to me now will be repaid tenfold in due time!"
"..."
The president was sweating profusely. This man was truly incessant. Not only was his attitude rude and arrogant, but he also had no manners whatsoever. If this stalemate continued, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't just kill him outright!
"Fine, since this man keeps saying that the Demon Ancestor sent him, let's just bring him before the Demon Ancestor and ask him directly to avoid a misunderstanding that would leave everyone in a difficult position. If he's just spouting nonsense, hmph, he'll understand what it means to wish he were dead!"
The group of burly men could only nod in agreement. The thunder above them grew even louder. The alchemical tribulation was about to begin, and any further delay would be considered dereliction of duty and a capital offense!
Upon realizing this, everyone understood and withdrew their cultivation. Li Sisui then felt a lightness in his body and quickly got up. Without hesitation, he swept Leng Rushuang into his arms in a princess carry, his face full of impatience as he shouted:
"A bunch of useless trash, wasting my time! Lead the way!"
The group of burly men exchanged glances, subtly forming a circle around Li Sisui, placing him in the center. The Grand Commander led the way, speaking humbly:
"Venerable One, this way please, the Tribulation of Pills is about to begin!"
Li Sixui's heart stirred, and he glanced uneasily at the top of his head. Since it was personally refined by the Demon Ancestor and could even trigger a pill tribulation, it must be an unparalleled pill. Recalling the scene at the Heavenly Gate Sect, he couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile...
