Seeing the complex gazes of the crowd, the man's brows furrowed fiercely. "What are these looks from you ants!"
Hearing the man's cold voice, the Vermillion Bird Sect disciples all swallowed. The person before them was a Demon King. Today, unless their Sect Master arrived, it would be difficult for them to escape…
Thinking this, everyone present turned pale.
Hong Yuning and Wen Ruyu stood in front of Ming Li, their faces grim.
Seeing that the Demon King hadn't noticed them yet, they breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to the young girl behind them, "Junior Sister, we'll cover you. You run quickly."
The moment they learned the man before them was a Demon King, they had wanted to crush their jade tokens and escape the secret realm. But for some unknown reason, even after crushing the jade tokens, they couldn't leave the secret realm.
Hearing her senior brothers, Ming Li merely glanced at them faintly and said nothing.
At this moment, the Demon King in front was growing impatient. He had been searching for a long time but couldn't find his little chili.
The Demon King's cold gaze fell upon everyone present. "Where have you hidden my little chili!"
Everyone present, "..."
Finally, seeing the Demon King about to attack again, someone finally spoke.
A male disciple from the Vermillion Bird Sect bravely stepped forward, pointing at one of the Demon King's feet. "Your... your little chili, it... it seems to be... under your foot..."
The Demon King, "...?"
The Demon King frowned, and his gaze instinctively fell to his feet. There was nothing there...
Seeing this, the Demon King instantly felt like he was being toyed with like a fool. Thus, the enraged Demon King sent the speaker flying with a single palm.
"You dare to toy with me, courting death!"
With that, the Demon King retracted his hand and looked at the others. "If you don't hand over my little chili, I will kill you all!"
Everyone present, "..."
A female disciple, unable to bear the Demon King's pressure any longer, puffed out her chest and said loudly, "Junior Sister Ming Yue was already at your feet. Do you still want us to hand her over?"
Hearing this, the Demon King's eyes narrowed. He took a step back and saw a flat, white bug, surrounded by a large pool of unknown liquid.
Even more terrifying was that the Demon King felt a familiar aura on the white bug – it was his little chili!
How was this possible!
His little chili had turned into a bug?
And he had stepped on it and killed it!
"What is this!"
"Your little chili." A Vermillion Bird Sect disciple, unafraid of death, replied, "It's a maggot now."
The Demon King, "...!" A maggot?! His little chili had become a maggot?!
At this moment, Ming Yue, who wasn't quite dead yet, slowly woke up. Seeing the Demon King before her, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She said with difficulty, "Big... Demon, you... finally... came... quickly save..."
"Slap—"
Before Ming Yue could finish speaking, the Demon King couldn't hold back and stomped down with his foot...
With a "slap," the entire world fell silent, plunging into a deathly stillness...
The Demon King, "..." If I say it wasn't intentional, will anyone believe me...
Everyone present, "..."
At this moment, looking at the maggot that had completely stopped breathing under his foot, a trace of embarrassment flickered across the Demon King's face. He raised his eyes and saw the silent Vermillion Bird Sect disciples. The next second, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes...
