The Unraging monk laughed aloud. "The two of them are both fated with the buddha, and they've entered our Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga together. It's truly fated, a match made in heaven. It won't be easy for senior brother to separate them. "
"You need to keep your disciple in check."
The Dauntless monk was displeased, but he instead felt slightly relieved inside. Little Ann's behaviour had always been far too perfect, far too flawless, which instead made people uneasy.
Now that she was behaving like a regular young girl, she seemed much more normal. As long as he guided her slowly, the feelings between a man and a woman could naturally be eliminated.
… …
Li Qingshan made his way towards the open door and suddenly asked, "Duoge, don't you like women?"
Duoge said, "I'm still young. I don't like women, or who knows what would happen. Only after I become very strong can I control myself."
"Yes. You need to learn to control yourself. Don't let the demon hearts twist your true heart."
Duoge nodded in confusion, muttering the two words "true heart". If an eminent monk of buddhism had tried to persuade him like that, he might not have accepted it. However, even a venerable had said that, so it must have been a good idea.
Li Qingshan took a step through the door, and the surrounding light twisted as if he had been sucked into a vortex. By the time he returned to his senses, he had already appeared in a golden room out of nowhere. It was rather similar to the prison on the floor above, except when he raised his head, the ceiling seemed even higher.
He became even more certain that the origins of this "Demon Suppression hall" were anything but simple. Just the height of these two floors was not something that Great buddha mountain could hide. If he followed this logic, the height and area of the Demon Suppression hall would probably be much higher than Great buddha mountain and much larger than the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga.
He waited in the prison for a while, but he did not see Little Ann and Duoge appear.
Oh no, I didn't think they'd actually not be on the square on the floor below. Instead, they'd been randomly transported here, but I forgot to hold Little Ann's hand. Though, with Little Ann's strength, he shouldn't be in any danger. All I have to do is search for him.
… …
Seeing Li Qingshan and Little Ann walk through the door one after another, Duoge picked up the demon hearts scattered on the ground and shoved them all into his mouth, but he began to hesitate.
The demonfolk on the next floor were much stronger than the ones on this floor. With his current strength, there was no guarantee of his safety at all. And after eating these demon hearts, he felt the blood and Qi in his body boiling, and his strength greatly increased. There was not much danger on this floor, and it was a good opportunity to escape from them.
One by one, the demon hearts entered his body. Like water droplets, they merged with his own demon heart and pulsed with vitality. A creepy smile that did not match his age appeared on his face.
"If I follow them, I'll be able to obtain more demon hearts and become stronger. It's worth it to take some risks."
Before entering, Duoge looked up at the towering Demon Suppression statue again and found it rather strange. "He's clearly not injured. Why is he in so much pain?"
There was a hint of confusion on his face. He thought back to the time when he was almost eaten Just Now. It was also very painful. It wasn't just his body that was hurting. There was also a very, very deep place that was aching.
He subconsciously touched his chest, his heart pounding.
Was this his true nature?
To demonfolk, as long as their demon hearts were not destroyed, they would not die even if their hearts were pierced, so they would often overlook their existence.
It was said that once he understood the secret within the statue, he would be able to return home. Return home? He shook his head. His mother had already been eaten. She no longer had a home.
Suddenly, he pressed his hand against his chest. The strange feeling appeared again, and his nose became rather sore.
His small, dark face scrunched up into a ball. He hated this feeling!
Fortunately, at this moment, another voice rang out in his heart, Hurry up and follow them, or there won't be any demon hearts to eat. It's rare for such a good opportunity to appear. You have to make good use of them!
He let out a sigh of relief. The strange feeling had finally vanished. However, when he stepped through the door, the Demon Suppression statue remained firmly imprinted in his heart. A pair of pained eyes stared right at him.
As soon as Duoge touched the ground, he felt his body weigh down, and he was pushed to the ground viciously.
"Look what I've caught. Heh, it's a little guy. He seems to have come down from above. How courageous. He's just enough for me to eat."
A fierce-looking fatty stepped on Duoge. He held a bloody butcher's knife in his hand, showing it off to his companions. He waved it around on Duoge's body, and as he laughed, he revealed his mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Venerable, venerable, save me!"
Duoge cried out in fright, but no one paid any attention to "Duoge"'s cries. That was only the wail of food.
"What do you mean enough for you to eat? Everyone who sees it gets a share. Cut it down the middle, and we'll split it half!"
Beside the fat demonfolk was a tall demonfolk as thin as a bamboo pole. His arms were abnormally long, almost reaching the ground, like a gibbon. He grabbed one of Duoge's arms with one hand and called out in dissatisfaction. "What are you doing?
"Let go! I was the one who caught him, so why should I split it? I'll give you an arm at most to have a taste. "
"An arm? You wish! No, I'll give you half at most! "
The fat demonfolk stepped on Duoge firmly, while the thin demonfolk extended his other hand and grabbed Duoge's other arm, tugging it firmly and refusing to let go.
Duoge felt like his body was about to be ripped apart. He let out a painful howl.
Swish! There was a flash of the blade, and blood splattered.
The thin demonfolk staggered backwards. His two abnormally long arms had been cut off. His face was filled with surprise and fury. "How dare you …"
The fat demonfolk raised the butcher's knife and pointed it at him. "Since you're unwilling, I'll eat you too."
"Let's see who'll eat who!"
The thin demonfolk's waist suddenly elongated, lunging towards the fat demonfolk like a snake. Two long tentacles grew from his severed arm, wrapping around the fat demonfolk's neck.
Duoge's body crackled. Who knew how many bones in his body had been broken. He was in excruciating pain.
However, his body became unbearably hot. His demon heart thumped violently like a drum.
Duoge had devoured many demon hearts consecutively. The demonic power in each one was several times greater than his own. It should have erupted a long time ago. However, Just Now, he was beside the Demon Suppression statue, constantly radiating with the power of demon suppression. Now that he was far away from the statue, this power immediately erupted.
And, he was far too young. He did not understand the dangers of recklessly devouring demon hearts.
Filthy demon qi surged out, coiling around his body. His small, thin hands completely turned into pitch-black claws, clawing at the golden ground and producing a sharp, ear-piercing screech as sparks flew.
Bone spikes burst out of his body as his joints extended backwards. His eyes completely turned violet as he roared out, "I'm going to eat you!" In the end, it completely turned into a wild beast's roar as he struggled violently.
"He's completely demonified! Kill him!" The fat demonfolk felt a violent resistance from beneath his feet. He actually struggled to suppress it with his strength.
The thin demonfolk cried out, "How can he possess this kind of power!?"
Demonification was the most basic power of demons. Once it was unleashed, their strength would multiply.
However, demonfolk focused on becoming one with the demon. If the power of the demon heart was too great and they were unable to control it, their bodies would be invaded and they would lose their minds, turning into violent beasts and completely demonify.
Even vicious demonfolk were unwilling to become like that, which was why they were extremely careful when devouring demon hearts. Normally, devouring the demon hearts of demonfolk weaker than them was completely useless. It would only make their own demon qi become impure. Although devouring the demon hearts of powerful demonfolk could increase their strength, it was very easy for them to lose control and completely demonify.
The butcher's blade swung viciously towards Duoge's neck. With a clang, it missed, striking the ground.
Duoge broke free from the suppression and lunged at the fat demonfolk violently. With a plop, he dove into his great belly, like a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant, except a hand protruded out here and a foot punctured there.
The thin demonfolk waved his two tentacles, unable to do anything. The fat demonfolk's face was filled with malice. He swung the butcher's blade and stabbed it towards himself, piercing through his body. A while later, he stabbed it seven or eight times. Blood sprayed out, covering the walls and floor. It was extremely bloody.
With a clang, the butcher's blade fell to the ground. The fat demonfolk's chest bulged up before exploding with a bang.
Duoge burst out of his body with a demon heart in his mouth. His body was riddled with horrific slashes. He landed on all fours, like a vicious little beast. He chewed the demon heart a few times randomly and swallowed it. The slashes on his body healed at a visible rate.
Another three bony spikes protruded from his head like a sharp horn, and his body swelled up as well. His mouth split open to his ears, revealing a row of blade-like teeth.
He no longer seemed human at all. He turned his head and stared at the thin demonfolk with his purple eyes, lunging over. The thin demonfolk turned around and fled, but it was already too late. He was pushed to the ground.
With a crack, his mouth opened to an unbelievable degree before suddenly closing. A semicircular gap appeared on the thin demonfolk's shoulder. At the same time, he clawed around with his claws, spraying blood all over him.
The tentacles wrapped around him loosened, and Duoge tossed aside the remains and leapt to one side. After eating the two demon hearts, his body became even larger. His small, skinny body became as agile and sturdy as a black panther, but he was several times larger than the black panther. His body was covered in sharp spikes, which made him seem extremely vicious.
He lowered his head and sniffed the ground before turning around and leaping onto the wall, running off into the depths of the corridor.
"This little demonfolk has become a demonic beast. He can't turn back anymore." The Unraging monk sighed gently. Who knew how many times he had seen something like this during the century he spent guarding the Demon Suppression hall.
"Are you pitying demonfolk, junior brother? He might be young, but his demonic nature runs deep. They only have themselves to blame for this. They can't blame anyone else, "the Dauntless monk said coldly.
"You're right, senior brother. Let's take a look at your precious disciple. Her situation doesn't seem too good!"
… …
When Li Qingshan stepped through the door, Little Ann's heart skipped a beat. She extended her hand in an attempt to grab him, but she was a step too late. Her vision dimmed and lit up. She looked around, but she did not see any traces of Li Qingshan. She thought to herself, Have we been separated?
This was a relatively large prison cell, equivalent to a spacious hall. It was still resplendent, with several dozen demons either sitting or standing. There were a few females among them.
This was probably a nest of demonfolk, and as long as they could form a colony, there would definitely be a leader present.
To the east of the hall, a demonfolk with a tumour on his head sat on a platform constructed from white bones. He gave off a powerful aura. The female demonfolk all sat around him.
Clearly, he was the master of this nest, the leader of the demonfolk, a powerful Demon General.
