I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 219 Relatives
The one who killed the Nether Cat was none other than Lu Xiaowu.

He opened his eyes about half an hour after Xiao Qi left. When he couldn't find the little girl with his divine sense, he vaguely guessed what had happened.

Since Xiao Qi was able to bring him out of the illusion, she must have seen his illusion as well.

So this girl went to settle scores with the demon?

Not knowing where she was, Lu Xiaowu didn't rush out to look for her, lest he not be there when she sent him a message.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he received a message from the little girl, saying that she had discovered a group that resembled the Lion Tiger Demon King and was on her way with a Qi Refining cultivator.

Suspected?

Minor Qi Cultivation?
Lu Xiaowu didn't jump up immediately when he heard the words "Lion Tiger Little Demon King". Instead, he paused for a moment on the words before flashing out of the courtyard.

Because just a few minutes after Xiao Qi sent him the message, the carriage carrying Zhu Li underwent an unusual change. So by the time Lu Xiao Wu arrived, three of the Lion Tiger Demon King's five guards had already died, and his junior sister had also quietly set up a maze for the enemy.

He was Yu Qingge's personal disciple, so he was naturally familiar with maze formations.

After immediately confirming that the other party was the enemy he had been searching for for many years, Lu Xiaowu did not get emotional. Instead, he calmly entered the maze and killed the wolf demon, and then fought with the Netherworld Cat.

Although this cat is of the same species as the one Xiao Qi and Dongfang Shuo encountered, its cultivation level is much higher. With the same Nascent Soul cultivation, one tail equals one life, meaning that Lu Xiao Wu would have to kill four Nascent Soul cultivators to kill it.

What might be difficult for others is no big deal for Lu Xiaowu at this moment.

Because as long as he kills this cat, he can finally deal with the enemy who destroyed Lu Family Fortress in peace.

As for why the Little Demon King could be unharmed after destroying Lu Family Fortress, it's because Lu Family Fortress alone was not enough to make the powerful figures in the cultivation world take it seriously, and they didn't think that the lives of the people in one fortress were worthy of the Little Demon King's attention.

"Meow!"

When Lu Xiaowu's Cloud-Piercing Sword severed the Nether Cat's last tail with lightning speed, the Nether Cat let out a miserable cry. With a bang, all the blood vessels in its body seemed to explode, and a cloud of blood mist enveloped it. It then disappeared underground in a flash.

Lu Xiaowu snorted coldly and did not chase after him.

The Nether Cat had a backup plan, protecting its own essence. However, whether this essence could bring it back to life depended on its own fate.

Even if it survives, it will inevitably have to keep a low profile and dare not reveal even a hint that it is still alive in the demon realm.

After all, the little demon king was killed because it failed to protect its master.

"Xiao Qi, leave this to me."

Lu Xiaowu, holding the blood-stained Cloud-Piercing Sword, walked out of the thick fog. Slowly, his face became clearer in the eyes of the Lion-Tiger Demon King.

"It's you!"

The moment the Lion-Tiger Demon King saw Lu Xiaowu, his eyes widened.

It remembered this person; he used to follow a very powerful woman from the Jade Void Sect to ambush it, killing three of its six personal guards and seriously injuring three others. If its mother hadn't sent some trusted confidants, it might have died at his hands that time.

Because of the commotion it caused that time, its father no longer allowed it to leave the demon realm and to focus on cultivation.

Furthermore, even though their demon race suffered the greatest losses that time, including the death of three Nascent Soul cultivators, it was only after the King gave the human race a large sum of compensation that the matter was settled.

Why?
Upon hearing her fifth senior brother's words, Meng Qi swiftly sheathed her sword and slipped out of the maze.

"you"

The little lion-tiger demon king glared at him, intending to intimidate him with a show of bravado, but before he could utter a single word, a blur seemed to flash before his eyes, followed by a tearing sound, and half of his right wing was ripped off.

"Roar!" The little lion-tiger demon king looked up and let out a mournful howl.

Outside the maze, Xiao Qi stood there for a while listening to the sounds inside, then let out a sigh that was not appropriate for her age.

Revenge, isn't that satisfying?
She didn't think it would be satisfying. Just like last time, even if she killed the entire Meng family, she couldn't bring her great-grandparents back to life. Once tainted by "hatred," the tragedy was already underway.

"Hey, Brother Meng, you're out? How are you? Are you hurt? What's the situation inside? Who was that person who just came in?"

Zhu Song rushed over as soon as the illusion appeared. His cousin was seriously injured; she had clearly been fighting those beasts with great difficulty, and all her magical treasures had been used up. If he didn't come over soon to give her medicine and help her regulate her breathing, she would soon collapse.

After helping my cousin take the medicine to stabilize her, I helped her onto the lotus flying vehicle. After settling her in, I instructed the lotus to take my cousin and run away as soon as possible if we couldn't kill those demons later.

As for him, he couldn't leave; at least he couldn't run away before Meng Qi arrived.

Since he forcibly dragged them there to save people, what would it look like if he ran away first?

To his surprise, he saw Meng Qi come out of the lotus-shaped aircraft as soon as he jumped down. He was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and asked a series of questions.

Xiao Qi glanced at him but ignored him. The maze was hers; she could see what was inside, but he couldn't.

"Are you tired? Is your spiritual energy almost depleted?"

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak, Zhu Song quickly took out a few bottles and stuffed them into her hands, saying, "These are spirit-replenishing pills, you should eat them to replenish your energy."

Xiao Qi glanced at him and put the pill into her storage ring.

"There are some other things as well. Tongyuan Pill is for Nascent Soul stage cultivators. You can put it away and give it to that brother when he comes out later."

Seeing how generous he was, Xiao Qi reluctantly introduced her fifth senior brother, "That's my senior brother."

Zhu Song's eyes lit up. "No wonder you arrived so timely and were so familiar with your formation. It turns out you're my senior brother. No wonder. But Brother Meng, this formation looks a bit familiar to me."

Xiao Qi was unaware that the maze was created by her master. She thought it was a technique of the Jade Void Sect. She reasoned that it was normal for a disciple of such a large sect to be seen using it outside.

But in reality, only her master and a few of her fellow disciples knew it.

"A maze?"

Zhu Song, who was gradually starting to understand the situation, suddenly widened his eyes. He looked at Xiao Qi and stammered, "Brother Meng, is this a maze?"

Xiao Qi listened to the sounds inside and nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, a maze."

Zhu Song looked at her and asked again, "Then, what is your relationship with Daoist Qingluan?"

"My master."

thump!
Zhu Song plopped down on the ground. Xiao Qi finally noticed his unusual behavior, turned to look at him, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Does your Zhu family have a grudge against my master?"

Have a grudge?

Are you kidding!
Zhu Song shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no."

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you so nervous?"

"I...I...I'm not, Brother Meng, you really don't know? My great-grandmother is Qingluan Daojun's cousin. We...we're related."
