"It seems that after this matter is over, we can ask Old Man Feng. He should know what to do."

About an hour later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

"Is this the place? It really is a good place!" It is indeed a good place. It seems that because of the seal, the concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than in other places.

Influenced by the spiritual energy, the surrounding plants are growing very well, and some species that would not normally be able to survive here have stubbornly survived because of the spiritual energy.

"I never imagined that such a beautiful place would be the place where the demon who slaughtered the city was sealed." Someone said with considerable surprise, and the people around him nodded in agreement.

"It wasn't like this back then. It's only because of the passage of time, and the fact that the seal itself has the function of gathering spiritual energy, that it gradually became like this." The beautiful scenery eased everyone's tense mood a bit.

"It seems things aren't so bad after all; the seal is still intact."

After examining the items, Feng Wuhen and the others delivered some fairly good news.

"This seal doesn't seem to have any effect on us, which means we can go in freely, but we can't get out," Yi Shuihan said after carefully examining the seal.

Feng Wuhen looked at Yi Shuihan with surprise, because what Yi Shuihan said was indeed true.

"So what should we do? Should we place a magic array on the outside of the seal and wait for it to break free?"

"This is the only way now. Everyone take a break and let's start preparing!"

Under the coordination of the special agents, everyone began to move about, and things seemed quite harmonious.

However, at this moment, Yi Shuihan walked up to the seal and stepped into it.

"I prefer to take the initiative rather than wait passively."

Chapter 252, The Cunning Human Demon

"Huh, what's he going to do?"

"He actually went in. Does he intend to deal with that demon all by himself?"

People noticed Yi Shuihan's actions and began to speculate.

"Young Yi, come out quickly, that demon is not someone you can handle alone."

"Yes! Come out quickly, only by working together can we have a chance to defeat him."

Those who were more familiar with Yi Shuihan, such as Feng Wuhen and Uncle Jiu, all advised against it.

The people of the Northern Frontier were secretly delighted to see Yi Shuihan enter the seal alone, hoping he would ignore their advice and die inside.

"It's okay, I'm fine on my own."

Yi Shuihan felt no tension whatsoever. A demon who hadn't even reached the Dao Integration stage posed little challenge to him.

Furthermore, while the demon who slaughtered the city was suppressed within the seal, this suppression was ineffective against him, so there was even less to fear.

Seeing that Yi Shuihan was determined to try alone, Feng Wuhen hesitated for a moment and did not try to persuade him further. Uncle Jiu gave Wencai and Qiusheng a few instructions and ran over, seemingly intending to stand with Yi Shuihan.

“I’ll go with you too, so the two of us can look out for each other.”

Uncle Nine's actions deeply moved Yi Shuihan. He shook his head at Uncle Nine and said, "I can handle it on my own. Just wait for my good news."

He released a slight trace of the aura of returning to the void, and to Uncle Nine's astonishment, he gently waved his hand, and Uncle Nine felt himself being pushed out of the seal by a gentle force.

"You really are already... Returning to the Void." Uncle Nine mouthed the words "Returning to the Void" without uttering a sound.

Yi Shuihan nodded, and Uncle Jiu was relieved, so he didn't say anything more about being together.

Upon returning to the group at Maoshan, Wencai and Qiusheng surrounded them.

"Master, why are you back?"

"Yes! Are we really going to let Brother Yi go in alone?"

It's clear that Wencai and Qiusheng still care about Yi Shuihan.

"Don't worry, your Brother Yi is very capable, nothing will happen."

Meanwhile, Yi Shuihan entered the seal alone, and deep within it, he encountered the so-called city-slaughtering demon.

"This is the city-slaughtering demon? It doesn't look like it at all! But there isn't even an ant around. If we eliminate all other possibilities, then there's only one truth left, so it must be her."

It's no wonder Yi Shuihan reacted this way; the so-called city-slaughtering demon was far from what he had imagined.

Originally, Yi Shuihan had imagined that the city-slaughtering demon should be a fierce-looking, nine-foot-tall man, or at least someone with very low looks.

However, what stood before him now was a little girl who was only half his height and had snow-white skin.

The little girl lay quietly on a jade bed, her limbs chained together, restricting her movement.

Yi Shuihan could naturally tell that these chains were not ordinary iron chains, but were made entirely of spiritual energy.

"Well"

Suddenly, the little girl opened her eyes, her amber pupils filled with confusion, looking incredibly cute.

Wow! Someone's here.

The little girl saw Yi Shuihan and exclaimed in surprise, rubbing her eyes repeatedly.

"Hey, are you here to let me out?" The little girl looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly.

Isn't this script wrong? Yi Shuihan was also a little confused. How could she think that I came to let her out?

Before Yi Shuihan could answer, the little girl's mouth twitched and her eyes began to well up with tears, as if she was about to cry.

"Didn't you come to rescue Xiaomei? Xiaomei is so pitiful, she's been locked up here all this time, she's so hungry and so lonely." As she spoke, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes.

Hearing Mengmeng's voice, Yi Shuihan felt a tremor in his heart and even had the idea of ​​helping the little girl get off the chains.

Unconsciously, Yi Shuihan began to approach the little girl, then slowly raised his hand, emitting waves of magical energy.

Just as Yi Shuihan was about to make his move, his eyes caught a glimpse of the cunning glint in the little girl's eyes, and he stopped.

"What's wrong? Come help me quickly!" The little girl's voice was still as cute as ever, but Yi Shuihan noticed something was wrong this time. He felt that there was a strange fluctuation in the little girl's voice, which affected his mood and made him want to help the little girl involuntarily.

"I almost fell for it. The City-Slaughtering Demon really knows his stuff! Don't you think so?" Yi Shuihan's tone was slightly cold. Thinking about his state just now, he felt a little scared. He really didn't want to experience that feeling of being controlled by someone again.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? What city-slaughtering demon? I'm Xiaomei!" The little girl looked puzzled.

However, Yi Shuihan just chuckled and quietly looked at the little girl, completely unmoved.

A few minutes later, the little girl seemed to realize that Yi Shuihan would not give in, so she stopped hiding herself.

"Kid, you're lucky." The little girl's voice startled Yi Shuihan. This was no little girl's voice at all; it was rough and deep, more manly than a man's.

Just as Yi Shuihan felt a chill, the little girl's appearance slowly began to change. In just a few breaths, she transformed into an eight-foot-tall man with a completely black body and two horns on his head.

The burly man's upper body was naked, his muscles bulging, and his lower body was covered only by a simple piece of cloth, giving him a rather macho look.

"Although this is how I should picture the City-Slaughtering Demon in my mind, I still prefer how you were before," Yi Shuihan sighed, saying with some regret.

At the same time, Yi Shuihan felt a chill and became wary of the demon who slaughtered the city.

He had become slightly arrogant because of his achievement of returning to the Void Realm, thinking that with his strength, the demons who slaughtered the city were no match for him and could be dealt with easily. However, what just happened reminded him that he should never be complacent and should always be aware of his own limitations.

As expected, this is an old demon that even more than a dozen Void Returners couldn't kill in ancient times, and could only be sealed away. Putting aside his strength, his cunning alone is extraordinary!

Chapter 253, The Resilient Demon

"I never expected that there would still be beings who have returned to the Void. Even in our time, you would be an absolute monster. So, how about joining me? If you submit to me, I guarantee that you can achieve Dao Integration and pass through the Immortal Tribulation to become an immortal in the shortest time."

The demon who slaughtered the city spoke in a very gentle tone, and it was filled with an extremely eerie allure.

"Submit to you? You must be dreaming!" Yi Shuihan remained unmoved. Putting aside everything else, the benefits offered by the other party held no appeal for him whatsoever. Becoming an immortal was not difficult for him; once he stepped into the Dao Integration Realm, he was already an immortal.

The Demon Slaughterer had no idea what Yi Shuihan was thinking, and he was somewhat surprised by Yi Shuihan's clean and decisive rejection.

Although he was sealed here, it did not mean that he was unaware of the situation outside. He already knew that we were now in the Dharma-ending Age. In his opinion, it was already quite good for people outside to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Void Return stage. If he had not met Yi Shuihan, he would have thought that the Void Return stage was impossible.

"Aren't you going to reconsider? You know this seal won't hold me for long. Once I'm out, no one in the world can stop me. If you don't submit, I'll have no choice but to send you to your death," the Demon Slaughtering City said calmly.

Yi Shuihan merely chuckled lightly, unimpressed.

A flash of anger crossed the demon's eyes, and a tremendous surge of magical power erupted from his body, revealing him to have reached the mid-stage of the Void Return realm.

But then, the chains on his body shone brightly, pressing down on him.

"Click"

A very faint sound rang out, and a crack appeared in the chain, but then the crack slowly disappeared.

"Hahaha, finally... finally almost done for! It won't be long, two months, no more than a month, before I break free from this seal." The Demon of the City Slaughter's face was contorted with rage as he laughed maniacally.

"I think you won't be able to wait that long. This day next year will be your death anniversary." Although somewhat surprised that the Demon Slaughtering the City still possessed the strength of the mid-stage Void Return Realm, Yi Shuihan remained confident.

The chains did have some effect after all. Although the demonic aura of the city-slaughtering man was still in the mid-stage of the Void Returning Realm, it was much weaker than before, appearing somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"You, a mere early-stage Void Returner, have killed more than one or two Void Returners. They were helpless against me back then, and only managed to seal me away with their lives. What can you do to me?" The City-Slaughtering Demon said disdainfully.

"It seems your judgment isn't very good! You only saw that I'm in the early stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm, but didn't see anything else."

Yi Shuihan's confident words startled the Demon Slaughterer. He then carefully examined Yi Shuihan, but no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't find anything wrong.

"You're trying to fool me? I'm not that easy to fool."

Yi Shuihan shook his head, not intending to continue talking to him, and threw a punch from a distance.

"boom"

After being struck by Yi Shuihan's fist, a fist mark about an inch deep appeared on the stomach of the City Slaughtering Demon.

Forced to swallow the blood in his mouth, the Demon Slaughterer stared at Yi Shuihan in shock, "This punch... your physical body is actually so strong?"

The demon who slaughtered the city was horrified. He could see that Yi Shuihan's punch earlier had not used any magic power at all, but only the purest power. However, the force of this attack was stronger than that of a mid-stage Void Returning cultivator who was attacking with a magic weapon.

"Could you be a body cultivator?"

Yi Shuihan did not answer, but frowned slightly. He originally thought that his punch could cause greater damage, but who knew that it only caused some superficial wounds to the City Slaughter Demon, because the fist mark on the City Slaughter Demon's body had disappeared in just a few words.

Such strong regenerative ability. Indeed, if the city-slaughtering demon were really that easy to kill, there would have been no need to seal him away in the first place.

"Let me see just how resilient you are." Yi Shuihan threw another punch, but this time he used magic power of the Returning to Emptiness quality.

An even louder tremor than before rang out, and the Demon Slaughtering the City couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but his blood was not human red but a pale silver.

"Is it about three times stronger than before I used my magic?" Yi Shuihan pondered.

After coughing violently several times, the Demon Slaughterer glared fiercely at Yi Shuihan, his body once again unleashing astonishing magical power. Taking a beating was not his style; he wanted to retaliate.

Although the seal had weakened, it still existed. The white light shone again, preventing the demon who slaughtered the city from launching an attack.

"Roar!"

The demon who slaughtered the city roared angrily, looking at Yi Shuihan with resentful eyes.

"You'd better save your energy. That way, you can conserve your strength to withstand a few more blows."

"Kid, you better pray you can kill me, otherwise, once I get out of here, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Yi Shuihan completely ignored this threat, as it was utterly impossible.

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan completely disregarded the reactions of the demon who slaughtered the city, constantly adjusting his strength and relentlessly beating him.

The sounds of blows continued, and finally, even the city-slaughtering demon couldn't help but scream in agony, silver blood splattering everywhere, looking incredibly powerful.

"After all this fighting, you've only suffered superficial injuries. It seems that conventional methods won't be enough to deal with you." Even Yi Shuihan admired the City-Slaughtering Demon's resilience. In some ways, this City-Slaughtering Demon was very similar to Kaido from the One Piece world.

"You can't kill me, so be smug for now! Once I'm free, I'll repay you a hundredfold." The Demon of the City's Massacre still spoke with a voice full of life, and despite his miserable appearance, his injuries weren't that severe.

Yi Shuihan had no intention of continuing at this point. Lightning flickered in his hand, and a wisp of lightning gradually appeared. This lightning continued to expand, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a huge ball of lightning.

"I wonder if you'll still be able to be this energetic in the future."

The lightning ball was thrown directly at the City-Slaughtering Demon. The City-Slaughtering Demon was originally staring fiercely at Yi Shuihan, his eyes filled with hostility, but the next moment, fear appeared in his eyes.

"What kind of lightning is this? It's impossible! Ordinary lightning couldn't possibly have this kind of power! Ah..."

Faced with the tribulation lightning, even the city-slaughtering demon knelt, struggling frantically, and finally, for the first time, his aura weakened at an alarming rate.

Chapter 254, Kneeling Down to Apologize

"Dying at the hands of the tribulation lightning is not a disgrace to your status." Looking at the man-demon who was struggling in pain and even turned into the little girl who wanted to gain sympathy, Yi Shuihan's eyes were calm and unmoved. He just waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, the city-slaughtering demon finally stopped struggling and turned into a black charcoal, its life force gone.

"Is he dead?" Yi Shuihan murmured to himself, and was about to leave when he stopped after taking a few steps, his expression changing.

"How cunning! I was almost fooled too," Yi Shuihan said coldly to the corpse of the city-slaughtering demon.

"Still pretending? If that's the case, then you don't need to wake up." He gathered tribulation lightning in his hands again, and this time the amount was several times larger than before.

The tribulation lightning struck again, and the corpse, which should have been lifeless, suddenly came back to life. Although its aura was weaker than that of an ordinary person, it was a completely different concept from its previous lifelessness.
