Chapter 293: Chi Ming

Lu Sheng squatted at the entrance of the cave. Looking at them, she asked, “Since you didn’t want to come, why don’t you return to the Demon Realm?”

That little Red Dog shook its head. “We don’t have the Demon King Token, so we can’t open the Demon Realm’s gate.”

“Demon King Token?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Then who has the Demon King Token?”

“In... in Lord Chi Ming’s hands.”

The other Red Dog retreated after replying.

“Lord Chi Ming?”

Lu Sheng touched her chin and felt that something was amiss.

Didn’t the Demon King Token belong to the Demon King? Since it belonged to the Demon King, why was it in the hands of some Lord?

Could the Demon King have given it to him?

“I heard that your Demon King has awakened. Is that true?”

“No!”

The little Red Dogs shook their heads. One of them said, “The awakening of the Demon King was just a rumor spread by Lord Chi Ming. It was to divert the attention of the Immortal World so that he can come to the human world for a good meal.”

“I see!”

Lu Sheng sneered.

She looked at the Red Dogs. “Where is Lord Chi Ming now?”

“I don’t know!”

The little Red Dogs shook their heads. “Lord Chi Ming has always liked to be alone. Everyone followed him to the human world, but we don’t know where he went to.”

Lu Sheng took out a Demon Keeping Talisman. The few Red Dogs trembled in fear.

“Wow!”

One of them burst into tears. “I want to return to the Demon Realm. I want to find Father and Mother. I don’t want to come to the human world again. Sob—”

Lu Sheng was speechless.

Did she look like someone who could not differentiate good from evil?

When the little Red Dog cried, the others were also affected by their emotions and started sobbing.

“Shut up!”

Lu Sheng shouted and the cries stopped immediately.

“Come in.”

She extended the talisman in her hand forward. Unexpectedly, the few Red Dogs shook their heads repeatedly, looking extremely pitiful.

“If you still want to return to the Demon Realm, come in. Otherwise, you can hide here and forget about returning to the Demon Realm for the rest of your lives.”

“Real... really?”

The Red Dog who had fallen from the tree just now asked carefully.

“Why would I lie to you?”

Lu Sheng sighed helplessly. “If you don’t come in now, I’ll sell you to the demon manipulator.”

When the few Red Dogs heard that, they jumped into the Demon Keeping Talisman in fear.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. She hurriedly placed the talisman into the Space Bracelet.

She stood up and looked around before killing a few Illusory Demons.

She could still let those little Red Dogs off as they were cute.

However, these Illusory Demons were too ugly. Moreover, they were extremely fierce and basically did not have any kind intentions.

Hence, she could not show her kindness to them.

After wandering around the vicinity and seeing that there was indeed no trace of the demon, Lu Sheng returned to the path she came from.

She had just left the forest when Chu Sihan and the rest walked back from their respective directions.

“I’ve killed three Red Dogs and five Illusory Demons.”

Lu Sheng spoke first.

The State Minister said indifferently, “Illusory Demons, six.”

Ye Luo said, “I’ve killed three of them. They’re all Illusory Demons.”

Chu Sihan said, “I’ve killed two Red Dogs and five Illusory Demons.”

Lu Sheng pinched her chin lightly and frowned. “Master only said there were a few dozen, but didn’t specify the exact number. With this added up, we’ve already killed more than thirty to forty demons. I wonder how many are left.”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “It’s said that there are more than twenty of them, all with cultivation levels above a few hundred years. They’re following a Red Dog called Chi Ming.”

“I heard from a few Red Dogs too.”

Lu Sheng said lightly, “They said that the Demon King had not awakened. It was that Red Dog called Chi Ming who stole the Demon King Token. After breaking the boundary, he escaped with those demons.”
