Several of his followers scrambled away in panic.

The city lord gritted his teeth and relied on his Grandmaster foundation to hold on, putting all his strength into every move.

Chen Dou's power seemed to have no limit, growing stronger with each battle. Every punch carried a terrifying devouring power, causing even the true energy within the city's body to leak out uncontrollably.

If this continues, he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Just when the city lord was about to give up, three figures rushed over from a distance.

The leader was a young man of about twenty years old, wearing a blue robe, with a cold and stern face, and a spirit sword at his waist.

Two younger men and women, dressed in the same light blue clothing, followed behind him.

The three arrived on the wind, landing lightly in the arena.

The young man in the lead glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and frowned.

"Outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect are here to guard this city on the orders of the Immortal Sect."

"Lord of this city, what business do you have with me?"

Before he could finish speaking, a blood-red figure suddenly approached, abruptly cutting off his words.

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence, with only the wind carrying the stench of blood spreading in all directions.

When the city lord saw that the immortal master from Qingyun Sect had arrived, he felt relieved, knowing that he could finally get through this ordeal.

"My lord Immortal Master! This is the monster! He has wreaked havoc in my city, killing the chief instructor and slaughtering hundreds of soldiers! My lord Immortal Master, please intervene and capture this fiend!"

The young man from the Qingyun Sect who was leading the group had a slightly somber expression.

He could see clearly that the person in front of him, covered in blood and with bloodshot eyes, was clearly just a child.

Yet this very child was staring intently at the three of them with eyes stained with blood, his chest rising and falling slightly, his heavy breathing carrying an uncontrollable killing intent.

"What's your name?"

The young man asked a question.

He was just asking as a routine question.

According to the rules of the immortal sect, when encountering such a malevolent and monstrous creature outside, asking its name is unnecessary.

But the kid's next reaction made his expression stiffen slightly.

Chen Dou didn't bother to answer at all.

"Are you accomplices too?"

He asked, his voice hoarse, cold, and harsh.

Before the young man could speak, a woman at the ninth level of Qi Refining behind him snorted, "You don't even bow to a disciple of an immortal sect? Killing government soldiers without permission is an unforgivable crime. If you know what's good for you, bind yourself on the spot, and maybe you'll be spared a whole corpse."

Another male disciple chimed in, "A life for a life! Senior brother, this little devil should just be crippled."


He stood there, his gaze sweeping over Chen Dou.

The boy looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. He was covered in wounds and barely clothed. Standing there, he exuded a ferocity and despair that did not belong to his age.

Why did he kill?

Those officials, the chief instructor, and all the soldiers on the ground were all killed by this young man alone.

The senior brother's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Why did you do this?" he asked, his voice calm but carrying a sense of oppression.

Chen Dou raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on him, and said, word by word:

"They say my sister is an extraterrestrial demon."

"They slaughtered my entire village, killed my father, and killed my mother."

My sister is only six years old.

"They captured her and killed her."

Chen Dou's voice wasn't loud, it was even a little hoarse, but every word sounded like it was stained with blood.

"They deserve to die."

They all deserve to die.

The expressions of the couple behind the senior brother changed.

They exchanged a glance, and most of the contempt and arrogance on their faces disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of apprehension.

The Qingyun Sect was ordered to collect the suspected infants of "extraterrestrial demons" in this region. As the garrisoned disciples, they naturally knew what this meant.

If what the boy said is true, and if his sister really is an extraterrestrial demon, then things are not so simple.

The senior brother paused for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"You said your sister is an extraterrestrial demon."

"So, your current strength also comes from her?"

Chen Dou spoke:

"My sister isn't some extraterrestrial demon; she's my sister."

The senior brother frowned.

Of course, he wouldn't believe that the child wasn't an extraterrestrial demon just because of a denial.

The strength displayed by the young man in front of me is very likely derived from the younger sister he mentioned.

A true extraterrestrial demon.

More importantly, the extraterrestrial demons will be escorted back to their sects for examination.

Over the years, although he had never detected a true demon, he knew very well that if one had infiltrated the ranks, it would be no small matter.

Moreover, according to the boy, his sister was taken away with almost no resistance.

How could a true extraterrestrial demon be captured so easily?

If she really is, then it's most likely done on purpose.

The purpose of deliberately getting arrested is self-evident.

The senior brother's mind raced, but his expression remained calm.

He slowly took a step back, his gaze fixed on Chen Dou, and at the same time lowered his voice to the two people behind him:

"Take him down."

"Don't kill him."

"I want to live."

The moment he finished speaking, he took out the sect's communication talisman and reported his suspicions and the possibility that a real extraterrestrial demon might have been mixed in during this escort.

Upon hearing their senior brother's command, the man and woman behind him exchanged a glance and stepped forward simultaneously.

The aura of the ninth level of Qi Refining suddenly erupted, as if the surrounding air had been sucked out, and sandstorms rose up within dozens of feet, with gravel and dust swirling up.

Although these two were only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, they were already beings that ordinary people could not look up to.

They acted extremely quickly.

With a flick of her wrist, the woman released a green rope that coiled in the air like a serpent, instantly binding Chen Dou's limbs.

The man then conjured a talisman, which spontaneously combusted in mid-air, turning into a cloud of grayish-white energy that descended upon him.

The grayish-white air currents were like a thick cotton quilt, pressing down on Chen Dou's body and making him suddenly sink.

He was trapped by the green rope and the rune array at the same time, his feet sank several inches into the ground, and his back bent down as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

His limbs were tightly bound, and he struggled desperately. The ropes left bloody marks on his skin, but he remained motionless.

Qi Refining Level 9.

It's still too strong for him.

"Stop struggling."

The male disciple sneered, took a few steps forward, and looked down at Chen Dou, who was being pressed down and couldn't straighten his back.

"We, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, have already stepped into the path of immortality. How dare you, a wild brat from who-knows-where, be so insolent in front of the disciples of an immortal sect?"

"You think you can turn the world upside down?"

Chen Dou was so overwhelmed that he couldn't speak.

He felt his bones creaking and cracking, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

But he could hear it, and he could hear it in his heart.

unwilling.

Not reconciled.

I'm so unwilling to accept this.

I finally regained my strength, finally crawled back from the cave, and finally fought my way here.

But it still didn't work.

It's still far from perfect.

Father.

Mother.

A-mei.

What should I do?

I can't kill them.

Chen Dou's mind was a complete blank, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.

Those images flooded back.

His mother was picking vegetables in the yard, laughing and scolding him for being naughty.

My father was chopping wood at the door, and would yell at him every now and then.

A-mei was chasing dragonflies in the yard. She fell down and cried, but then she started laughing again.

and also--

The hole in my mother's chest.

Father rolled his head to the side.

"ah--!"

Chen Dou suddenly raised his head and howled at the sky like a wolf cornered in a desperate situation.

The voice no longer sounded like a human voice.

Immediately afterwards, something deep inside his body shattered.
