I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 180 Escape

About ten seconds later, the fall finally ended, and the two of them crashed into a valley.

Even with her fifth senior brother's spiritual power protecting her, Xiao Qi was still thrown around and felt dizzy.

"go!"

Before they could even get a good look at their surroundings, Meng Qi was pulled away from where she stood by Lu Xiaowu, who called out to Hei Feng and led the two of them out of the valley in one breath.

"Black Maple, hurry!"

Behind them came the sound of heavy footsteps and roars. Meng Qi stood on the blade, feeling the wind whistling past her ears. She wanted to turn around to see what was chasing them, but Lu Xiaowu stopped her, "Don't turn around."

Because it was Meng Qi's first time flying on a sword, she was not used to it. Lu Xiaowu put one arm around her waist and the other around her shoulder, practically holding her whole body in his arms.

"Fifth Senior Brother, where is that old man?"

Meng Qi still had her eyes on Qin Yuanheng because she wanted to kill him.

He left his apprentice outside, so Uncle Zhang can definitely get something out of him.

"I don't know, I didn't see him when we were falling."

As Lu Xiaowu spoke, his sharp eyes swept across the front and left and right, his expression serious yet ruthless, a side of him that Meng Qi had never seen before.

She asked softly, "Is this the demon realm?"

The commotion from those chasing her was so great that it easily reminded her of a gigantic monster.

"Yes, we must leave here first and return to the cultivation world. Black Maple, turn left."

Perhaps because it had been a long time since it had returned, Black Maple was like a wild horse that had broken free, running incredibly fast. After a while, the chasing sounds from behind grew fainter and fainter, until it flew over a wide lake and reached a barren mountain where not a blade of grass grew, and then the sound from behind completely disappeared.

Lu Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief. He stood on the knife and looked back. When Meng Qi saw him turn around, she also turned around.

The once calm lake was now bubbling and gurgling, and then a beautiful woman in red emerged from the water.

The group of demons who had just chased the woman to the lakeside quickly stopped and turned to run away as soon as they saw her.

Meng Qi's eyes widened.

The woman stood on the water, her long hair flying in the wind, her red dress billowing, her beauty beyond compare.

Seeing Meng Qi looking at her, she gave her a charming smile.

Black Maple maintained its speed, quickly leaving the lake and the woman behind until they were no longer visible.

"That's a carp spirit, already at the late Nascent Soul stage," Lu Xiaowu explained to his junior sister, who was still staring blankly.

"Senior brother, why isn't it chasing us?"

"Because he was an old acquaintance of Master."

"Huh? So it recognizes you too?"

"Yes, many years ago, I killed its man."

"."

Meng Qi felt the story would be very long, but she wasn't in the mood to listen right now.

She turned her head forward and asked, "How much longer do we have to fly?"

"It won't be long, about an hour is enough to leave the demon realm."

After saying that, Lu Xiaowu added, "It's very dangerous for you to stay here with your cultivation level. I'm in the form of a divine soul, so it's okay if I encounter a demon below the Golden Core stage, but if it's a Nascent Soul stage demon, we're both doomed." Fine, although she was in a lot of pain, she could only endure it.

To her relief, the membrane closed up on its own at the last moment.

"Senior brother, why did the membrane open and then close again?"

Lu Xiaowu pondered for a moment and said, "According to Master, the membrane was created by the Heavenly Dao, so its opening may only be temporary. Then, a strange change like the one we just witnessed will occur, and it will close again. This is a good thing for you. If the membrane doesn't open, the demons won't be able to enter your world with impunity."

It is indeed a good thing, but
Meng Qi looked up at him with a pained expression, "Can I still go back?"

She hasn't seen her grandfather for two months. If he finds out she's involved with the demon realm, he'll be worried sick.

Lu Xiaowu raised his hand and patted her head, smiling, "Of course I can. Once I've condensed my true form, I'll find a way to take you back."

He also needed to find immortal herbs to repair his master's soul, so he was bound to return to that different world.

Meng Qi blinked. "Didn't Master say you'd stay here once you'd cultivated your true form? Why are you going back too?"

"Isn't that because you came here? If I don't find a way, how will you get back?"

At that moment, Meng Qi was quite moved, and her resentment towards her senior brother for grabbing her collar disappeared.

"Wow, Black Maple, I never knew you could fly so fast with people on board."

They had been flying for a long time, but Black Maple's speed had not decreased at all, which made Xiao Qi sigh.

"That's right. You didn't give me a chance before. If you had, I could have taken you to the heavens."

Praised like that, Black Maple flew even more energetically, whizzing through the air like a blur. Even if the demons below noticed, they were already gone by the time they realized what was happening.

After flying for almost an hour, just as they were about to leave the demon realm, Lu Xiaowu suddenly sensed a divine sense of a Dao Transformation Realm expert sweeping towards them.

He quickly took out the jade pendant from Meng Qi's neck, infused it with a trace of spiritual power, and the jade pendant instantly emitted a soft golden light that enveloped the two of them.

The divine sense of the Nascent Soul cultivator paused when it swept over the two of them, then neither withdrew nor came out to stop them.

In that instant of hesitation, Hei Feng led the two out of the demon realm and into the cultivation world.

"Finally it's out."

Lu Xiaowu breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head and laughed, "I never thought that I, Lu Xiaowu, would have a day when I had to run away without a fight in the demon realm. If my sixth junior brother knew, he would probably laugh at me."

Meng Qi asked curiously, "Didn't you just say that your soul form couldn't defeat a Nascent Soul stage demon? If you can't win, why don't you run away? Are you looking for death?"

"Idiot, I can't beat Nascent Soul cultivators, but I can beat Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators? I can run away from Nascent Soul cultivators, but I can find a few Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators to beat up. I should at least get my money's worth and make my trip to the Demon Realm worthwhile. But now, I haven't beaten any of them."

Meng Qi glared, "You should have told me earlier. It's not like I can't beat the foundation-building guy. Our feud with the demon is huge. I wish I could kill a few more. Who knew you would pull me away and run away without even having time to breathe."

"You little ungrateful thing, I was just thinking that you're new here and not used to it yet. What if you get hurt or something? How am I supposed to explain that to Master and Sister Lan?"

She was too lazy to correct Lu Xiaowu for calling her mother "sister" anymore; whatever.

But she was serious about slaying demons, and asked, "When can we come again?"

Meng Qi suspected that the demons were waiting there to enter the membrane wall, perhaps letting Qin Yuanheng go first before they went in.

How exactly did that old man collude with the demon?
She was determined to find him and kill him.

"Once your senior brother has condensed his true form, he will definitely lead you to wreak havoc on the demon realm, so that the old demon king will no longer have time to covet your territory."

Meng Qi thought Lu Xiaowu was bragging, but she gave him face and didn't expose him.
