Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Being Targeted by the People of the Demon Region

The other people of the Demon Region did not care about this. “This kid is acting alone. Maybe he is afraid of the prestige of our Demon Region, which is why he has such an attitude. He is no different from those hypocritical and sanctimonious cultivators.”

“Anyway, this kid doesn’t have any background. Even if he dies in here, no one will know. Why don’t we–”

Mei Qianmeng looked at the disciple from the Demon Region who spoke just now and said calmly, “Do you have the right to speak here?”

Her casual words made that disciple lower his head abruptly, and his face became extremely pale. It could be seen how much prestige and authority Mei Qianmeng had in this group of disciples.

Mei Qianmeng’s gaze fell on Gu Xi, with a bit of probing and sizing him up. She recalled Gu Xi’s strange behavior earlier. The bell on her wrist swayed gently, and her voice was even more enchanting, filled with indescribable magic power.

“What’s so special about the few saplings you obtained earlier?”

The magic sound entered her ears and could captivate one’s soul. He wanted nothing more than to let the secrets in his heart out. Gu Xi’s expression gradually sank into a state of confusion, and he suddenly regained his clarity, as if two kinds of powers were interweaving together. He was currently engaged in an intense battle in his mind.

Mei Qianmeng’s expression was a little surprised. She did not expect that this person’s mind was actually very strong.

The bell in her hand started to spin faster and faster. Her eyes, which were originally as thin as silk seemed to have a deep whirlpool hidden in them. She wanted to drag the person into it and sink into the ocean of desire.

No one could resist the power of the Heavenly Demon Technique. Moreover, she had used all her strength this time. Even those people from the Pure Lotus Sect and Ethereal Illusion Mansion did not receive this treatment.

…

Gu Xi’s expression completely fell into chaos, he said in a dull voice, “I just want to take a gamble. With my strength, I won’t be able to obtain the Enlightenment Tea leaves. I might as well look at the few small saplings by the side. Perhaps there will be weak spiritual energy.”

This answer was the same as what the disciple from the Demon Region had thought. However, Mei Qianmeng was a little disappointed. She looked at the man suspiciously.

Gu Xi’s eyes were filled with confusion. It was impossible for anyone to break free from the Heavenly Demon Technique and escape from her eyes. However, they had gone through a lot of trouble and might even be in mortal danger just for this result.

Mei Qianmeng did not give up and said, “Is there no other reason? Are these saplings really that ordinary?”

Gu Xi shook his head, “Yes, I also regret it later. They are too ordinary and have no effect at all.”

…

Even though things had come to this point, Mei Qianmeng still did not give up, “Show them to me.”

She stared at Gu Xi and did not miss any minute expressions. However, Gu Xi did not show any signs of resistance and immediately took out a few saplings.

Without the Divine Tree tree as a support, its own spiritual energy was almost completely depleted. It had already lost most of its vitality.

Mei Qianmeng looked away in disappointment.

The disciple from the Demon Region was a little puzzled. “Holy Maiden, why are you making such a big fuss about this person? It’s not worth wasting so much of our energy.”

Mei Qianmeng thought of the shadow of the Divine Tree tree that had disappeared in the golden light. Her gaze fell on the few small saplings that did not have much vitality. “Could it be that I’m thinking too much?”

“Then what should we do with this person now?”

Mei Qianmeng said nonchalantly, “Leave him, let him die here.”

Since Mei Qianmeng had already spoken, the people of the Demon Region did not have any plans to make a move. In their eyes, Gu Xi’s actions were simply stupid to the extreme. If they made a move, it would be lowering their status.

Gu Xi just stood there in a daze. Even his eyes were gray, as if there was a thin layer of shadow. He was like a puppet. Without the orders of his master, he would not take any further action.

However, after the Demon Region and the others left, the chaos receded and regained its clarity. If Mei Qianmeng and the others saw this, they would be shocked.

Gu Xi looked like this, but it was not because of the Heavenly Demon Technique. Everything that happened before was just a disguise!

One had to know that there were nine levels of Heavenly Demon Technique. It could disturb people’s minds. The higher the power, the more powerful it would be.

Now that Mei Qianmeng had cultivated to the seventh level, she could even control people whose cultivation level was higher than hers. It could be said that she was at the pinnacle of perfection. Other than the Demon Venerable, she had never failed when she made a move on even the most powerful people. However, she had stumbled in front of Gu Xi.

“The Heavenly Demon Technique indeed lives up to its reputation.”

Gu Xi still had lingering fear in his heart. At the critical moment, the System was the one who made a move. Moreover, his spiritual power was extraordinary, so Mei Qianmeng did not succeed. Instead, she was deceived by his disguise.

“It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.”

Gu Xi left in the opposite direction. Mei Qianmeng, who had already gone far away, seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Her expression suddenly froze.

A shadow flashed in the air. Before the disciples of the Demon Region had the chance to ask, Mei Qianmeng had already disappeared on the spot. When they chased after her, they realized that Mei Qianmeng had returned to the same place. However, Gu Xi was not there.

Mei Qianmeng’s expression was somewhat unsightly. The powerful aura pressed down on everyone, making it difficult for them to breathe. The disciple of the Demon Region asked cautiously, “Holy Maiden, what happened?”

“There’s something strange about that person.”

The people of the Demon Region looked at each other. For a moment, they did not understand what Mei Qianmeng meant. “What do you mean by that, Holy Maiden?”

One had to know that back then, Gu Xi had been able to enter the Secret Realm successfully because Green Lotus Princess had admired him and spoken up for him. How could he be a good-for-nothing?

Moreover, Gu Xi was also the champion of the alchemy and weapon refining competition. No matter how one looked at it, he was not an ordinary person. How could he choose a few random seedlings that no one cared about?
