The demon cultivator on the side nodded, "Indeed."
"However," an older-sounding demon cultivator sighed, "I’ve lived for so long, and I’ve never seen any genius from a sect, so young yet possessing such terrifying Sword Qi mastery..."
"Enough to rival the Heavenly Pride of the Four Great Sects."
"With time, this child’s potential is limitless."
The group of demon cultivators had different thoughts at this moment.
Some were envious, others jealous, but most were indifferent.
And yet, some even found schadenfreude.
The path of Tao cultivation is long, no matter how extraordinary the talent, one misstep can lead to eternal doom.
Now, they were about to lead this "Sword Dao Genius" down this path of "no return"...
"Alright," the tallest demon cultivator’s gaze sharpened, saying gravely, "Let’s enter the valley early."
There was a heaviness in his tone.
"There was an unexpected incident before we came. Two Elders are holding it off, but they might not last long. Enter the valley early, seal the gate, isolate from the world, to avoid unexpected trouble during the night."
Once inside the valley, it would be safe.
"Okay." The group of demon cultivators nodded.
They lifted the coffin lid beside them, stuffed Ling Huxiao, Ouyang Mu, and Song Jian into the coffin, and then sealed it.
In front of Mo Hua, the group of demon cultivators pushed the coffin along the White Bone Path, heading towards the distant Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Mo Hua took a sharp breath, feeling a headache.
Trouble...
He immediately sent a message to Elder Xun:
"Elder Xun, something terrible has happened! The demon cultivators have captured Ouyang Mu from the Tai’a Sect and Ling Huxiao from the Rushing Void Sect, and took them to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."
However, Elder Xun still did not reply.
Mo Hua frowned.
"What should I do?"
Rescue them?
But my strength is also insufficient, most of these demon cultivators are at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and there are even some at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Even if I exert all my skills and kill a few, it won’t help.
Such a big commotion would surely attract other demon cultivators to assist.
I’m not a Body Cultivator either; carrying both Ouyang Mu and Ling Huxiao, I can’t escape at all.
Moreover, they are sealed within the coffin.
Opening the coffin wouldn’t be so easy either.
With my strength, I can’t save them...
"Report back to the sect?"
It would be too late as well.
Even if the sect gathered forces later for a major attack on the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, it wouldn’t work.
If these demon cultivators were desperate, they might just "kill the hostages," and then Little Wood and Ling Huxiao would be in dire straits.
"Then just leave them be?"
Mo Hua shook his head again.
While the demon cultivator’s words were vague, Mo Hua could guess the gist of it.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will be closed for a month.
Once Little Wood and Ling Huxiao enter the valley, it’s obvious what would happen.
By the time the valley entrance opens again after a month, who knows what they would have become.
Most likely, the next time the demon cultivators leave the valley, the two fallen into the Demon Path would emerge wearing "black robes."
Mo Hua sighed.
Song Jian didn’t matter.
But Little Wood and Ling Huxiao cannot be ignored.
How they ended up in the demon cultivators’ hands, Mo Hua wasn’t sure yet.
But if no action is taken, these two children might indeed find themselves doomed here, never to return.
Mo Hua sent another message to Elder Xun:
"Hey, Elder Xun, are you there?"
There was still no response from Elder Xun.
