But quickly, he regained his composure, looking up at Pei Zhenhao and others who descended from the sky with curiosity and awe, just like the other cultivators.
BOOM!
However, just as Pei Zhenhao and his group landed in the market, an overwhelming aura burst forth from Pei Zhenhao, suffocating for anyone present.
In an instant, the entire market was enveloped in Pei Zhenhao1 s aura.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Even the ordinary-looking man’s expression suddenly froze.
At that moment, he distinctly felt a gaze, capable of making any Golden Core cultivator tremble, land directly on him.
This caused his heart to skip a beat.
What the hell was going on?
Why did he lock his gaze directly on me?
It must be a coincidence.
Yes, definitely a coincidence.
No one in Seafall City could possibly recognize my true identity.
Even Pei Zhenhao, despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn’t do that.
These thoughts rapidly crossed his mind, and the seemingly ordinary man, initially slightly panicked, gradually calmed down.
Without prior knowledge of his true identity, it would indeed be difficult for anyone to connect this man to the cruel actions of the demonic cultivator.
However, now that his identity was known.
His subtle reactions just now, observed by Pei Zhenhao, a Nascent Soul cultivator, were indeed suspicious.
What’s going on? Why hasn’t Pei Zhenhao shifted his attention away from me?
Did he really discover something?
The seemingly ordinary man began to doubt.
However, he quickly denied his speculation.
It’s impossible.
If he really suspected me, he wouldn’t have waited until now to test me.
There must be some detail I’ve overlooked.
Stay calm, let me think carefully about where the problem lies.
Seeing that the ordinary-looking man was still trying his best to stay calm, Pei
Zhenhao, who already knew this person’s identity, could not help but sigh.
No wonder he was unable to detect him all along.
Such mental fortitude and ability to conceal his aura were indeed extraordinary.
If not for Fellow Daoist Jiang’s help, it would have been very troublesome for
him to find this person.
As he thought about this, the killing intent in Pei Zhenhao’s eyes grew stronger
and stronger.
This also made the ordinary-looking man feel more and more pressured.
No, I can’t continue like this.
At this moment, the ordinary-looking man knew that his identity might have
been exposed.
Although he was unsure how his identity was revealed, further pondering was meaningless at this stage.
His eyes flashed with determination, and his aura changed drastically in an instant.
The next moment, the ordinary man suddenly exploded into shadows that
scattered in all directions.
“Indeed, it’s you, the demon child of the Celestial Soul Sect!
Different from the Nine Essences cultivation world, the demonic cultivators in the Astral Origin cultivation world were not hunted down by everyone in the world.
Instead, they formed a balance of power with the righteous cultivators, each with their own inheritances.
Although demonic cultivators in the Astral Origin cultivation world were known for their ruthless and cruel actions, they shared a common trait with the righteous cultivators.
They didn’t harm ordinary mortals. This was likely why they weren’t collectively hunted down.
At this moment.
Seeing the ordinary-looking man’s actions, Pei Zhenhao snorted disdainfully through his nose.
If the man hadn’t been identified, it would be one thing, but now that he had been found, Pei Zhenhao couldn’t let him escape under his noses.
Suddenly, a blue cover flew out of Pei Zhenhao’s sleeve, possessing an immense suction force.
In just a moment, the black shadows that were fleeing quickly were all sucked
in by the cover.
“Arghhhh!”
A miserable scream suddenly echoed in the air.
At this moment, everyone saw blue flames immediately rise from the surface of the bodies of the black shadows that were sucked in by the blue cover.
in just a moment, the black shadows were incinerated by the blue flames.
Only an ordinary-looking man was left struggling crazily.
“Pei Zhenhao, you old fool, I am a demon child personally appointed by the ancestor of the Celestial Soul Sect. If you kill me, it will lead to a deathly feud between our sects!”
“Hmm? Dare to threaten me?”
Pei Zhenhao’s eyes turned sharp as he increased the intensity of the blue flames, saying coldly, “If that’s the case, let your ancestor come to me. I want to see what your Celestial Soul Sect can do to my East Sea Sect!”
BOOM!
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue flames in the blue cover suddenly surged.
Just as the ordinary-looking man was about to be completely refined by the blue flames, an extremely powerful divine sense suddenly rose from the blue cover.
“Who dares to kill a demon child of the Celestial Soul Sect? Accompanying this declaration, a male face full of malevolence appeared within the blue cover.
Pei Zhenhao’s pupils suddenly constricted when he saw the man1 s face.
“It’s you, Shadowless Demon Lord!”
“Oh? It’s you, Pei Zhenhao.”
The face, identified as Shadowless Demon Lord by Pei Zhenhao, frowned, then said in a deep voice,
“Release my disciple, and you can name your terms. Otherwise, the consequences are something you, Pei Zhenhao, cannot afford.” Threatened so blatantly by Shadowless Demon Lord, Pei Zhenhao’s face became extremely ugly, especially with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, two fellow cultivators, present.
His eyes flickered with murderous intent, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Eventually, he managed to maintain a grim expression and said to the projection of Shadowless Demon Lord,
“Your disciple killed people in my Seafall City for cultivation purposes without any reason. Your Celestial Soul Sect must give me an explanation for this.” “Fine, name your terms,” Shadowless Demon Lord responded succinctly. Knowing he didn’t have much leverage over Shadowless Demon Lord, Pei Zhenhao didn’t intend to seek humiliation upon himself.
After a brief contemplation, he said, “From now on, your Celestial Soul Sect must not cause trouble in the territory under my charge.”
“Agreed. Anything else?” Shadowless Demon Lord asked.
Pei Zhenhao took a deep breath and continued, “I need a Dawnstar Pill, and a promise from you. Of course, this promise will be within reasonable limits.” The Dawnstar Pill mentioned by Pei Zhenhao was an elixir used by early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Astral Origin cultivation world to break throug their cultivation bottlenecks.
It was extremely precious.
Only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could easily obtain it. For early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Pei Zhenhao, it was a rare item that might never be obtained in a lifetime without good luck.
Shadowless Demon Lord readily agreed to Pei Zhenhao’s request, nodding his head. “I will have someone deliver the Dawnstar Pill to you later. If there are no other demands, then release my disciple.
Despite his reluctance to let such a person go, Pei Zhenhao had to go against his wishes and release Yu Hunzi, the ordinary-looking man, as the situation ha progressed to this point.
Swoosh!
As soon as Yu Hunzi was freed from the blue cover, he shot a venomous glance at Pei Zhenhao.
The next moment, his figure was enveloped by the projection of Shadowless Demon Lord.
With a swift motion, they broke through the blockade of Seafall City and disappeared into the sky above the city.
