Chapter 144: The Smell of Demonization
After Su Yi had completely killed the Green Wood Flood Dragon, a notification appeared on his interface. It was the mission of the immortal sect.
[Notification: Immortal sect mission, hunting demon king, current progress 1/5]
The notification on the interface slightly stunned Su Yi. If it was not for the sudden appearance of the interface, he would have almost forgotten that he still had this immortal sect mission.
The mission to kill the demon king required him to kill five demon kings of the foundation establishment realm, and he had only completed one of them.
Regarding this, he did not sigh. In any case, there was still enough time left. The destination of this trip was the ancient sword tomb in Qinwang Ridge. Killing the demon king was the next best thing, and killing the demon king along the way was not bad either.
However, this hint only caused Su Yi to be slightly stunned. He looked at Li Mengxi. The latter understood and nodded slightly.
Hence, he did not hesitate. Like a big hand, the multicolored light appeared in his hand, wanting to collect the materials on the demon king.
However, this time, he did not obtain the materials as quickly as usual. Instead, a hint that caused him to frown slightly jumped out.
[Notification: collection failed. The demon beast has been corroded by demonic qi and can not be collected.]
Somewhat unwilling, he tried again and still received the same notification. Therefore, he gave up and spoke to Li Mengxi.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I can’t collect it. You can try.”
When the latter heard this, she also nodded slightly. With a wave of her hand, a ray of multicolored light scattered. Soon after, her beautiful eyebrows were raised. Then, she tried again like Su Yi, but was still unable to collect it.
Hence, she shook her head and spoke indifferently to Su Yi.
“I am also unable to collect it. They say that it is the erosion of demonic qi or something.”
Su Yi nodded slightly when he heard Li Mengxi’s words. After which, he lowered his head as though he was deep in thought.
At this moment, the group of cultivators that had been rescued could not be bothered to be surprised when they saw that Su Yi and the others had killed the Green Wood Flood Dragon.
They were led by Boss Sun and came forward with respect.
“Thank you, sirs, for your help. I, Sun Tian, on behalf of the Nie family’s Sun Head Demon Hunting Squad, would like to express my gratitude to you.”
After saying this, he gestured to the few cultivators in front of him, and the other cultivators also nodded their heads heavily.
There were five people in total, but they actually knelt down and worshipped Su Yi and the others. They had no way to repay the kindness of saving their lives, so they could only do so.
However, their actions were quickly stopped by Su Yi. When he heard that they were the Nie family’s demon hunting squad, a bitter smile appeared on his face. It seemed like he really did not do anything wrong in saving them.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of them as he spoke indifferently, “there’s no need to pay such a big bow. We were merely doing it out of convenience.”
Who knew that the leader, Boss Sun, seemed to have an extremely stubborn character. One could only see him looking at Su Yi with a serious expression as he spoke, “benefactor, I, Sun Tian, and the others have no way to repay you. This is the only way, I hope that savior finds this acceptable!”
As he spoke, he wanted to bow down again. This caused the corners of Su Yi’s eyes to twitch.
He was only eighteen this year, and this Sun Tian looked like an uncle-level cultivator, but he was bowing down to a little boy. It made him look like some young master of a noble family.
There was nothing he could do. He took out a token from the immortal destiny seal. It was the item that the patriarch of the Nie family had given him.
“Nie family’s consecrator, once again, I order you to not perform this great ceremony. Do you understand?”
At this time, Sun Tian was already dumbfounded. He looked at the shiny token in Su Yi’s hand, and his face was even more respectful.
A while ago, the Nie family’s demon hunting squad had received a notice that the nie family’s first consecrator, surnamed Su, had appeared.
The token in front of them was clearly the same as the notice. Everyone said that this consecrator’s whereabouts were very mysterious. They did not expect that their Sun Head Demon Hunting Squad would see him here.
They knelt down without hesitation, bowed, and said in unison.
“Greetings, consecrator Su! Thank you for saving my life, consecrator Su!”
“…”
Su Yi was dumbfounded when he saw this. This situation was getting more and more intense.
Li Mengxi, who was beside him, secretly chuckled. She gently covered her jade-like lips with her hands, and the smile on her face was obvious. She looked at Su Yi with a playful expression as he said indifferently, “well done, fellow Daoist Su. It’s only been a short while, and you’re already a consecrator of the Nie family.”
Once these words were said, Su Yi became even more embarrassed. How had he ever seen such a scene? He had never been the young master of any great family, so he felt that receiving someone’s courtesy was very wonderful.
“Cough, quickly get up. Someone come and tell me what exactly happened. Why did this Green Wood Flood Dragon appear here? And how did you all get chased and killed?”
Hearing this, the demon hunter squad respectfully stood up. They saw that the leader, Sun Tian, was stained red with his own blood. He wanted to go forward and explain the situation to Su Yi.
However, he was stopped by an immortal cultivator. The cultivator pulled Sun Tian back and said worriedly, “big brother, you should recuperate first. I’ll go talk to the consecrator.”
Following that, the cultivator came in front of Su Yi and introduced himself.
“Revered consecrator Su, I’m Sun Tao. The matter is like this…”
Very quickly, from the moment they entered Demon Subduing Mountain, to the moment they met the Green Wood Flood Dragon, then to the moment they met Su Yi and the others, Sun Tao explained everything in detail.
The Green Wood Flood Dragon demon king was originally a relatively gentle demon king. It did not have any other demon beast descendants, and even its territory only had a small green wood forest.
Normally, it would not attack cultivators who did not provoke it. However, this time, when their demon hunting squad passed by the green wood forest, the Green Wood Flood Dragon attacked them.
There was absolutely no reason to attack them. Moreover, the Green Wood Flood Dragon had left its territory and was madly chasing after them. Then, they were chased to this place.
Fortunately, Su Yi appeared in time in the end. Otherwise, they would have been completely annihilated in the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
Su Yi also saw their previous behavior. It was rare to see such a loyal team among cultivators. Moreover, they were part of the Nie family’s demon hunting squad.
Su Yi already understood the cause and effect of the matter. He muttered to himself for a moment and then looked at Li Mengxi.
“Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think of this matter?”
Li Mengxi was startled when she heard Su Yi’s question. Then, she thought about it carefully.
She had heard rumors about the Green Wood Flood Dragon before. Normally, it would not attack unless a cultivator entered its territory. However, according to the demon hunting squad, it was indeed abnormal.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Su Yi and said, “fellow Daoist Su, are you saying that the demonic qi erosion is causing trouble?”
After thinking about it, she had thoroughly thought through the problem. Originally, the demon beasts in Demon Subduing Mountain did not have such a characteristic, but recently, they had frequently encountered this kind of demonic qi erosion beasts.
Could it be that something big had happened in Demon Subduing Mountain?
No matter what, she had to inform the clan about this matter. Having made up her mind, Li Mengxi looked at Su Yi, waiting for him to recover.
Su Yi also nodded his head. Although they were demon beasts, he had also noticed that these demon beasts had a very high desire to attack, and they did not even know how to mobilize their own spiritual energy, attacking like wild beasts.
Logically speaking, demon beasts at the foundation establishment realm should have some intelligence, unless…
