“I see.” Lonemoon nodded. They had come fast indeed. He turned to tell Shen Ying, “Don’t go running around!” After that his body shape flashed and he disappeared right where he was.

At that moment, the area outside the mountain gate had been filled with all kinds of demons from many different clans. Moreover, most were big demons at the seventh and eighth levels. There were even a few at the ninth.

If not for the Protective Mountain Array, they may have already rushed onto the mountain.

Lou Hong tried hard to maintain the Protective Mountain Array, while he looked at the demons. Although he knew that demons were of a cruel and revengeful nature, he didn’t expect them to chase a couple kids till here.

“Old man, if you know the situation, open up the array, and we might spare a few disciples of yours. Otherwise…” A jackal demon walked out and showed his bloody teeth to the crowd, “When we enter, we will eat all of you to the bones.”

“How dare you demons!” Lou Hong snorted coldly, “You aren’t supposed to eat people in the first place. You had even destroyed Green Robes Sect, and now you still dare to come to our Honesty Sect. Aren’t you afraid of being filled by bad karma and ruining your thousands of years of cultivation?”

“Psst!” The jackal demon looked utterly disdainful. “Stop talking about these things to me. Only your human race believes in karma. We are demons to begin with, if we don’t eat humans, are we supposed to eat porridge and rice?”

With that said, the demons started laughing, as they looked at the crowd like they were all dishes.

“Besides, you were the ones who robbed our spirit herbs first, and we only came for justice.” The jackal demon continued. “Eating a couple humans was already us being merciful to you. If you still refuse to give up the Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid that you stole, we will eat all the mortals around this area too!”

“Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid?” Lou Hong was stunned, “We had never seen it. Don’t you make wild blames.”

“You human race is the best at lying. Dare to do, yet you dare not admit doing.” The jackal demon snorted. “Do you dare say that you were not the ones who saved those little whelps? We turned Green Robes Sect all over but couldn’t find that Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid, so you must have taken it.”

“We did save those children, and that was because we couldn’t bear to see them die under the fangs of demons.” Lou Hong replied with a deep voice, “But we had never seen a Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid, believe it or not.”

“And you still dare to continue denying, I will see how long you can manage that!” The jackal demon seemed too lazy to continue talking with him. He waved, and the demons beside him went forward and attacked the Protective Mountain Array.

In a second, they heard a few loud bangs, and the whole sect shook. Yet the array formation remained intact, and a few weaker demons actually flew out under the impact.

“Move away!” Suddenly, a wolf’s roar came from the crowd of demons, making all the demons stunned, as they made a way. Soon a man came forward. As compared to the rest of the demons who more or less still remained in animal shape, he was in a complete human shape. He wore a long black robe, and an immense amount of demonic aura came from his body, far surpassing the level of the others.

Lou Hong’s heart sank. This was… the tenth-level Demon Monarch!

“A group of useless things! Can’t even break an array.” The Demon Monarch glanced at the crowd of demons, and all the demons around him shivered. Only then did he fixed his blood-red eyes on the cultivators opposite him. A red light flashed in his hands. He smiled darkly, as he said, “Since you don’t intend to return the treasure, after we finished eating everyone, we can look for it ourselves. It’s the same.”

With that said, his body shape flashed, as he leaped up dozens of feet, and his palm attacked the Protective Mountain Array. With a flash of lightning, the array which remained resistant to attack just now suddenly shook a few times, and with a clanging sound, it broke like glass, and disappeared into the air.

Lou Hong who was maintaining the array felt a rush of blood around his heart. He couldn’t stand stably any more and directly stepped back a few steps.

The Demon Monarch actually widened his eyes towards Lou Hong and said, “I will start by eating you!” With that said, he made a loud roar and leaped up right towards Lou Hong.

As its sharp claws were almost going to pierce through the man, a rush of sword qi suddenly came down from the sky, and it hit the Demon Monarch in the air. A white body shape appeared at the same instant, and the flute in his hand knocked the Demon Monarch down immediately.

With a bang, the Demon Monarch was crushed onto the ground before he could make a sound. The demonic aura around him had mostly disappeared, and he returned to his original shape in an instant.

Lonemoon stepped on the gigantic wolf on the ground with one foot, and wrinkled in a disbelieving manner, before he asked, “This is the Demon Monarch?” This generation of little animals was quite weak. Much worse than Rabbit used to be.

Perhaps because the disdain on his face was too obvious, everyone at the scene, both humans and demons, fell silent with a confused look on their faces. They felt that before anything started, it had already ended.

“So- Soul Formation!” Some demon screamed.

Immediately, the whole group of demons turned back and started deserting, without any trace of intention to save their Demon Monarch. They had absolutely no love for their own kind!

“Don’t you disbelieve in karma? I will show you what it means!” Lonemoon snorted. It was a rare occasion of showing off, and he should continue with it.

His hands moved, and a Dharma spell was immediately formed, and a rain of swords appeared in the sky, which fell directly onto the deserting demons below.

They had not even run for many steps before they were caught by the spirit swords and changed into a flash of blood. Instantly, the whole Honesty Sect echoed with the cry of all kinds of demons. Not the threatening cries they made just now, but the painful cries of dying.

In less than ten minutes, all were silent. Demons of the seventh and eighth levels died in huge numbers. There were a few small demons left who had not been blooded, but most of them were only at the fourth or fifth level.

The disciples of Honesty Sect who had readied themselves to fight to death were speechless.

What did they come here for?

(⊙_⊙)

Lonemoon made a passing-away seal, sending these demons who were all bloody and apparently had eaten many people to oblivion. Only then did he turn around.

“Where are you running to?”

The wolf Demon Monarch who had just crawled two steps of distance stiffened instantly, as the hair all over his body stood up. He leaned on the ground shivering, as he replied, “Supremacy, please spare my life! I didn’t know that there was a Soul Formation Supremacy here!” Didn’t they say that the highest cultivation level here was Nascent Soul? Rumors were not reliable after all!

“Oh, you meant that if there were none, you would dare to come and eat humans?” Lonemoon’s eyes chilled.

The wolf monarch’s eyes shrunk, as he shivered even more severely. “No… no, no. Supremacy, I had no other way. The Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid that I had spent thousands of years caring for was stolen by them. Only due to anger did I… I…”

“Who said they stole your Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid?” Who wants your carrot! A green carrot besides!

“It’s, it’s true!” The wolf monarch’s ears drooped in grievance. “I knew that boy, he was the one who stole it.” With that said, he took out a Shadow Preserving Stone out of nowhere, and a vague shape came out of it. That was a ten-year-old kid, thin and tall, with a green carrot overflowing with Spirit Qi in his arms.
