Although this monster was well hidden, with all the demonic aura on its body covered, it still emitted a faint holy light, like an immortal who had attained enlightenment.
But he can fool these mortals, but he certainly can't fool Ning Jie!
With the help of the Divine Eyes that could break illusions, Ning Jie could tell at a glance that the old man with white hair and long beard, who looked like an immortal, was not an immortal at all, but a mantis monster in the Nascent Soul stage!
A monster in the Nascent Soul stage would be considered a powerful monster in the outside world.
But today he met Ning Jie, who could easily destroy him.
The mantis demon's expression changed instantly when he heard Ning Jie's words. As a demon that had practiced for hundreds of years, his mind was naturally as clear as a mirror.
He had observed Ning Jie at first, but he could not see any spiritual fluctuations in Ning Jie, nor could he see Ning Jie's cultivation level.
In addition, Ning Jie looked so young, so he naturally thought that Ning Jie was just an ordinary mortal young man.
But now Ning Jie easily saw through his disguise and recognized his identity as a monster, and Ning Jie was so confident, which made the mantis monster realize in an instant that the young man in front of him was definitely not simple!
Thinking of this, the first thought that came to his mind was - escape!
He had never thought about confronting Ning Jie. How could a mere goblin like him cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in this world? Was it because of his looks? Was it because of luck? Was it because of his strength?
Neither!
He relies on just one word - survive!
Whenever he encountered any danger, he would never take risks, but would send the puppets he trained in the human world to solve the problem, just like people like Gao Junran.
If he had to show his power in front of others, he would only do so in front of mortals and would avoid any cultivators he met.
But this time, I didn’t expect that I couldn’t see through Ning Jie, so something went wrong!
Now he had no time to think anymore. He turned around without saying a word and fled into the distance, but how could Ning Jie let him escape so easily?
He looked at the fleeing mantis demon's back, a faint smile appeared on his face, then he slowly raised his hand, and an invisible spiritual power suddenly attacked the fleeing mantis demon.
"Ah! Let me go!"
In the dark night, the hysterical roar of the mantis demon was heard, and then the figure of the mantis demon was seen being forcibly pulled back from the distant night.
“Plop!”
Ning Jie didn't hold back at all and threw him hard to the ground, knocking the mantis demon unconscious.
But even though Ning Jie was like this, the Mantis Demon did not dare to complain, because when Ning Jie took action just now, he had already discovered that Ning Jie was actually a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Although the Nascent Soul Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm seem to be only one realm apart, the gap between them is immeasurable.
To put it simply, it would be effortless for Ning Jie to kill him!
At this moment, the mantis demon could no longer hold back and was extremely frightened. He had been hiding and practicing hard for hundreds of years, but he was unwilling to lose his life like this.
"Have mercy! Fellow Daoist, please have mercy!"
The Mantis Demon had no time to tidy up his clothes and hair, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ning Jie frantically, trying to beg for mercy, and also promised Ning Jie:
"As long as you spare my life, I will agree to whatever you say!"
Ning Jie didn't say anything, but just looked at the mantis demon with a faint smile on his face.
The people around naturally woke up from the mantis's bewitching behavior at this moment. Looking at the mantis spirit that was high above and radiating holy light like an immortal just now, it now knelt on the ground like a stray dog and begged Ning Jie for mercy.
Everyone was stunned.
When Gao Junran saw this scene, he frowned in disbelief.
As a mere mortal, he naturally could not see through the identity of the Mantis Demon. For so long, he had always believed that the Mantis Demon was really as he said himself, a hermit immortal who had attained enlightenment, a high and mighty being who could do anything!
But now he actually...actually knelt in front of Ning Jie and begged for mercy?
Ning Jie smiled calmly, his eyes fell on the mantis spirit, and he said calmly:
"Are you worthy enough to be called a fellow Daoist by this Saint Son? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing in this Peach Blossom Town. You tricked Gao Junran into helping him revive his lover, but you used Yunniang's body to warm your own essence and strengthen your own strength. You forcibly transformed a corpse into the body of a drought demon. And all the women Gao Junran has had children with over the years have probably all become your nourishment!"
Every word Ning Jie spoke was like pearls of wisdom, and his voice fell on the mantis demon like thunder, frightening him so much that his whole body trembled continuously and he kowtowed even faster!
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I beg you to spare my life, sir. I won't do it again!"
"Humph! Spare your life? You've done so many heinous things, you have to pay the price. Be a good person in your next life!"
After Ning Jie finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and a blazing flame instantly surged in his palm, enough to refine everything in the world.
From Gao Junran's dream, Ning Jie saw the tragic deaths of so many girls, their limbs cut off and their souls devoured. Ning Jie could no longer bear to watch and became murderous. He would never forgive this evildoer!
But at this moment, Ning Jie suddenly felt some unusual movements in the Human Emperor Cauldron.
"Um?"
Ning Jie frowned slightly, then summoned the Human Emperor Cauldron.
The next second, a green light flew out from the Human Emperor Cauldron and flew towards the mantis at lightning speed.
Ning Jie looked carefully and found that it was actually Lao Liu!
Isn’t this guy in seclusion?
What is he going to do?
