Primordial Cultivator

The sect elder's expression soon paled when they all realized it was indeed a demon.

"D-Demons are here," They screamed as they wanted to escape.

Alas, it was already too late because the demon had finished eating the magical beast and sensed them.

"RARGHH"

The demon roared as he dashed toward a sect elder with his tongue sticking out with slimy saliva.

The sect elder paled as he quickly tried to use his movement technique to dodge.

However, the demon seemed to sneer at the action of the sect elder as it quickly launched itself onto the sect elder.

Afterward, he opened his mouth with razor-sharp teeth as he crunched it down onto the sect elder's neck.

Blood sprayed all over the place, causing the rest of the disciples and sect elders that witnessed the scene in horror.

"AHhhhhhhhh save me," The sect elder who has his neck being devoured screamed for help.

His eyesight landed on his disciples who were looking at him with a terrified expression.

"What are you doing? Hurry and get this demon off of me!" The sect elder screamed in panic as he could feel his blood being sucked by the demon.

Meanwhile, the disciples glanced at each other before running away without helping the sect elder at all.

The rest of the people didn't dare to linger any further as they quickly retreated and tried to follow after Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO," The sect elder could only feel his body decaying as his eye became listless whereas the demon laughed evilly as he enjoyed a delicious meal that was abundant with spiritual qi.

*****

"Elder Jing, is there something wrong?" Yang Wei asked Elder Jing when he felt her uneasiness.

Elder Jing remained in a daze, almost like she didn't hear Yang Wei's question.

Yang Wei twitched his brow in surprise to see Elder Jing becoming absent-minded.

Thus, he glanced around their surroundings and when he confirmed there was no one else except them here, Yang Wei knelt down and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Elder Jing snapped out of her daze and glanced at Yang Wei when she realized he was hugging her.

"Why are you hugging me?" Elder Jing then asked him.

Yang Wei smiled briefly as he said, "To help you relax and stop worrying about the demons. As long as we're safe and have the concealing pill then the demons would never be able to spot us."

And he continued, "Once we stalled for two days, we can finally leave this mysterious realm and enjoy a breath of fresh air."

Elder Jing giggled softly at Yang Wei's attempt at easing the tension.

'If only things would be as easy as you sound Yang Wei…' Elder Jing sighed inwardly as she decided to explain some things with Yang Wei.

"Yang Wei, we can definitely leave the mysterious realm safe and sound but what about the other sects?"

Yang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "They are most likely dead or being trapped somewhere since we couldn't detect their whereabouts."

Elder Jing nodded her head.

"Then what do you think the people in the outside world would react if only our third-rate sect got out of the mysterious realm alive whereas the other sects have their life and death unknown?" Elder Jing then asked in a calm manner.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei became dumbfounded as he finally realized what Elder Jing was worrying about.

It wasn't the demons that she was concerned about but what will happen when they leave this mysterious realm.

The cultivation world was always full of ruthless and unreasonable people so they would definitely pin the cause of their disciples and sect elders on them.

After all, the Swift Feather Sect was only a third-rate sect without much influence in the Phoenix Kingdom.

Elder Jing sighed softly as she said, "Now you know why I'm uneasy. Those unreasonable people would definitely blame everything on us to pacify the other families."

"Hmph, if they decided to be unreasonable then we might as well have a life and death battle against them." Yang Wei sneered as he clenched his fist.

Since Elder Jing was in the Houtian realm which is the same cultivation realm as the sect leader of Phoenix Sky Sect then Yang Wei was confident they wouldn't lose out.

"Do you think I'm a prominent cultivator that can annihilate everyone with a snap of my finger?" Elder Jing chuckled as she leaned on Yang Wei's shoulder.

Yang Wei scratched his head as he embraced Elder Jing tightly and said, "Although I was just joking about having a life and death battle against them, I was serious about actually putting up a fight if they dare to be unreasonable and try to aim for our life."

Elder Jing didn't bother replying as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep on Yang Wei's shoulder.

She was too tired from the amount of work she has done in the past few days and never really gotten any actual rest.

Yang Wei smiled at Elder Jing as he stood in place to let Elder Jing rest.

Sometime later, Lian Xinyue suddenly arrived and was dumbfounded to see Elder Jing sleeping on Yang Wei's shoulder.

"Why is Elder Jing sleeping on your shoulder?" Lian Xinyue asked in a low tone as she was afraid of waking Elder Jing up and getting punished.

Yang Wei tilted his head slightly and stared at Lian Xinyue with a calm expression.

"Elder Jing is tired from overworking so she is currently resting. It would be nice if you leave us alone and allow her to rest." Yang Wei then said, shocking Lian Xinyue to the core from his tone of speech that sounded like a boyfriend.

"Are you two committing to a romantic relationship?" Lian Xinyue ignored Yang Wei's advice as she sat down and glared at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei remained silent as he had no intention of answering Lian Xinyue's question.

They weren't close enough for him to reveal everything about himself and his relationship with Elder Jing.

Lian Xinyue narrowed her eyes when she noticed Yang Wei was avoiding her questions and treated her like empty air.

"Hmph, I forgot to tell you but my grandfather is a sect elder in the Swift Feather Sect. If I tell him about your ambiguous relationship with Elder Jing then you will definitely get kicked out from the sect," Lian Xinyue smirked as she threatened Yang Wei.

"Do you have any evidence regarding our ambiguous relationship?" Yang Wei chuckled softly as he rebuked her claim.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue felt anger rushing inside her as she could never believe Yang Wei to be this shameless.

He was lending his shoulder for Elder Jing to sleep on and his hand was on Elder Jing's shoulder, something that only a couple would do unless they are the same sex.

Lian Xinyue raised her finger and pointed at Yang Wei's hand as she said, "Then what is that hand of yours doing on Elder Jing's shoulder? Don't tell me you were trying to commit a sexual crime at Elder Jing?"

"Can you lower your tone already? Just because we are having contact doesn't mean anything at all." Yang Wei snorted as he continued.

"Don't forget that I have also seen your bare naked butt previously so does it mean we have an ambiguous relationship as well?"

Lian Xinyue became bashful when she was reminded of her embarrassing and humiliating situation that she wished to erase from her mind.

"Y-You… Do you know how many people would kill you if you dared to say that situation to anyone else?" Lian Xinyue shouted angrily, without realizing her tone had become extremely loud.

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes as he showed a ferocious expression at Lian Xinyue. "I would prefer it if you leave us alone and lower your tone. If Elder Jing happens to wake up because of you then don't blame me for not being polite."

Yang Wei was angry for the first time as he could never understand Lian Xinyue's behavior.

Elder Jing was currently tired and needed resting yet Lian Xinyue came barging into their comfortable space and kept bombarding him with questions.

Lian Xinyue turned pale as she swallowed nervously at Yang Wei's current expression.

Afterward, she quickly stood up and fled the scene as she could feel Yang Wei's murderous intent increasing.

Once she left Yang Wei's line of sight, Lian Xinyue clenched her fist in anger.

'Hmph, I was just caring about your future and-' Lian Xinyue cursed inwardly as she became too irritated to think about anything.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei has already forgotten about Lian Xinyue as he looked at Elder Jing briefly.

'Phew, Elder Jing is still in deep sleep,' Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief that Lian Xinyue did not accidentally wake her up.

Yang Wei leaned his back near the cave wall as he tilted his head slightly down to touch Elder Jing's head.

Soon, Yang Wei also closed his eyes to sleep without realizing that Elder Jing was conscious the entire time.
