Chapter 255: The Earth Demon's Death
Chapter 255: The Earth Demon's Death
The two of them carried a total of six firecrackers, and two of them had some issues.
Yesterday, at the cliff waterfall, water seeped into the firecrackers.
They set off four, and Grandmaster Taiwu and his team should have been able to see them.
After descending from the mountain peak, their mission was essentially complete.
From now on, it was up to the Transcendent Powerhouses like Grandmaster Taiwu to take over.
The next task for the two of them was to safely return to the defense line.
And to meet up with Hall Master Zhao Li and her team.
On their way back, both of them slowed down significantly.
There was no need to rush anymore.
"Yesterday, that Earth Demon sensed us and chased us for so long.
Will it change its hiding place...
Moreover, even if we reach the plain, it may not be easy for the Sect Leader to find the Earth Demon."
The Earth Demon was extremely vigilant, and during the frontline attack, the slightest disturbance would cause it to flee immediately.
After seeing us yesterday, it's likely to have changed its position.
"I know you're worried about the Earth Demon escaping.
But for now, there's no other way; we can only let Grandmaster Taiwu and his team try."
Hearing Su Chen's words, Liu Xingwan seemed a bit disheartened.
They had almost lost their lives, and this was the result.
Seeing her slightly desolate expression, Su Chen shared his analysis.
"The Earth Demon is powerful, not only to us but also to other demons in the wilderness.
In the wilderness, powerful demons have their own territories.
It's not easy for this Earth Demon to immediately change its territory.
I feel it will only wander around that area.
If it enters another demon's territory, the other demon will likely fight for it.
Additionally, although we stepped into its lair, our cultivation realms are still far from sufficient to observe it.
At the Sixth Stage, we don't pose a significant threat to it.
Perhaps it has already thought of changing its position, but it won't be so quick."
After this explanation, Liu Xingwan nodded slightly.
The explanation was reasonable, but whether they could defeat the Earth Demon depended on luck.
The two of them headed towards the Yunyang Sect's frontline.
Su Chen walked ahead, and Liu Xingwan followed behind.
She now felt that as long as she followed Su Chen, she didn't need to worry about anything.
No need to worry about getting lost or encountering demons.
She just needed to follow him with peace of mind.
Occasionally, she would even look up at Su Chen's back, lost in thought.
After experiencing all this, Liu Xingwan finally understood.
Why the Sect Leader wanted to bring Su Chen into the Yunyang Sect and was willing to offer the Heavenly Blossom Fruit as a reward.
If she hadn't come this time, perhaps Su Chen would have achieved even better results.
As the dusk hour approached, Su Chen and Liu Xingwan finally returned to the Yunyang Sect's frontline.
At this moment, only Hall Master Zhao Li was waiting at the defense line.
Seeing their return, Zhao Li quickly came over to check on their physical condition.
Noticing that Liu Xingwan was slightly weak, Zhao Li was relieved.
Then, she called the two of them into the temporary tent and began discussing their reconnaissance mission over the past two days.
Zhao Li asked questions, and Liu Xingwan answered.
During the conversation, Liu Xingwan praised Su Chen repeatedly.
At one point, Zhao Li's expression became somewhat strange.
She had thought that after this experience, Su Chen might start admiring Liu Xingwan.
But now, it seemed a bit odd.
It was as if their attitudes had reversed.
Liu Xingwan's attitude towards "Chen Su" seemed to have changed, while "Chen Su's" attitude towards Liu Xingwan hadn't changed much.
After the conversation, Zhao Li had a comprehensive understanding of their wilderness journey over the past two days.
Upon learning that the two of them were being pursued by an Earth Demon, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
She was well aware of the strength of that particular Earth Demon.
As they were about to enter the Transformation Realm, a slight mishap could lead to a fatal misstep, and both their lives would likely be lost.
With Su Chen listening nearby, Zhao Li refrained from asking many questions.
She planned to wait until they met privately to ask about some of the more sensitive matters.
At that moment, the three of them were on the frontline, and all they could do was wait.
They waited for Grandmaster Taiwu and the others to return, and for the outcome of this Earth Demon extermination.
The Earth Demon Plague had already caused the Yunyang Sect considerable losses.
The disciples were injured, and the frontline was in retreat.
Even before this, the Hall Master had been severely injured.
If they couldn't resolve this Earth Demon Plague, the Yunyang Sect would face even greater hardships this year than last.
Regarding the potential outcome, Su Chen wasn't entirely certain either.
No one dared to confirm whether the Earth Demon would change its hiding place.
Additionally, the plain ahead was vast.
Following the markings, even if the Earth Demon didn't change locations, it wasn't guaranteed they could find and slay it.
However, there were also some favorable advantages.
Firstly, within the wilderness, mountains rose one after another, forming a continuous range.
The towering mountains provided cover, actually concealing the auras of the Transformation Realm powerhouses like Grandmaster Taiwu and the elders.
Perhaps they were already close to the Earth Demon, but it still hadn't discovered them.
With this, there might truly be a chance to slay the Earth Demon.
They waited until nightfall, but the elders and Grandmaster Taiwu hadn't returned.
Zhao Li and Liu Xingwan couldn't help but glance towards the distance from time to time.
In comparison, Su Chen remained much calmer.
After catching some wild animals, they roasted them over the fire.
As the night deepened, a burst of cheerful laughter suddenly echoed from the distance.
This unusual sound caused Zhao Li's spirit to tremble.
"That sounds like Third Elder's laughter. Xingwan, did you hear the faint laughter coming from the distance?"
Laughter was a good omen, a sign of a successful mission.
Liu Xingwan nodded slightly, and both of them couldn't help but gaze into the distance.
Before long, the sounds from the distance grew louder.
The two of them seemed to have discerned the source; it was Grandmaster Taiwu and the three elders.
Soon, they could see some flickers of firelight.
Grandmaster Taiwu and the three elders' silhouettes appeared.
Behind them, they dragged the corpse of a demon.
It was the very Earth Demon that had been wreaking havoc.
At that moment, it had completely lost its vitality.
Having been dragged along the way, the Earth Demon's corpse appeared somewhat dirty.
However, its fur didn't show any signs of damage.
This was the Earth Demon's formidable physique.
As they walked, the Transformation Realm powerhouses chatted and laughed along the way.
There was still some distance to the defense line, but Zhao Li and Liu Xingwan had already gone to greet them.
The moment they saw the Earth Demon, everything became clear.
The Earth Demon Plague that had plagued the Yunyang Sect for over five months was finally over.
After that, the group dragged the Earth Demon back.
From the frontline, they returned to the defense line.
Along the way, they chatted.
Third Elder shared their encounter in the wilderness in more detail with Su Chen and the other two.
There hadn't been any issues along the way; they had followed the markings.
Su Chen had similar thoughts.
"We followed the markings all the way to the valley exit. There, beyond the markings, we saw a plain, and finding the Earth Demon's traces seemed hopeless."
As he spoke, Third Elder glanced at Grandmaster Taiwu.
"Fortunately, the Sect Leader's excellent countermeasures were effective."
