The hunchbacked old steward lashed out with the leather whip once more. However, the dragon-like demonic beast did not retreat and continued to ram into the iron cage.
Boom!
The iron cage and the entire prison cell shook at the same time. A bloody mark appeared on the demonic beast's body.
The demonic beast's body seemed sturdy, but under the attack of the leather whip, it could not completely defend itself. The bloody mark was enough to prove that its body was at least injured.
However, although the leather whip was able to injure the demonic beast, it was unable to completely deprive it of its ability to fight.
The demonic beast's eyes were already blood-red, and its entire body was emitting a black demonic aura. After another roar, it charged over again.
"Beast, are you courting death?!"
Only then did the old steward channel his power into the leather whip, greatly increasing the power of the leather whip.
Boom!
The demonic beast's horn hit the cage again, and the old steward's leather whip tore open the demonic beast's skin and flesh.
The demonic beast's blood flowed down, but it was still not afraid. The aura on its body became stronger, and the battle intent on its body became denser.
In order to regain its freedom, the demonic beast was truly going to fight to the death.
Seeing that the restrictive aura of the cage was getting weaker and the demonic beast showed no signs of stopping, the old steward frowned even more. He continued to lash the demonic beast with the leather whip while taking out a Transmission Bead.
However, before the experts of the Devil Sect could arrive to provide support, the demonic beast, who had already gone berserk and was ready to fight to the death, had already knocked open the cage.
Although it had escaped from the cage, it was still in a prison cell. It was still far from regaining its freedom.
Even if it managed to escape from the prison cell, how could it escape from the East Pole Devil Sect's encampment?
Xiao Lingyu knew that the demonic beast's resistance would only result in it being riddled with scars in the end. After that, it would still be obediently locked in the cage.
However, the demonic beast did not know that the outcome of its resistance was already determined. With its body riddled with scars and covered in blood, it charged directly at the old steward.
As for the other demonic beasts locked in the cage, they seemed to be encouraged and began to attack the cage with all their might.
"All of you, quickly retreat!"
The old steward waved the whip in his hand and quickly dodged as he shouted at Xiao Lingyu and the other two.
Xiao Lingyu didn't hesitate either. If he continued to stay here, he might expose his strength. This old steward had been in charge of the Imperial Beast Hall for many years, and his realm was only slightly lower than the demonic beast's. He would definitely be fine. Moreover, the experts of the Devil Sect would probably arrive soon. Thus, he turned around and prepared to run towards the prison door.
"We want to fight alongside Milord!"
Unexpectedly, Jia Gang shouted and began to attack the magic beast.
Miao Yan didn't leave either. He was also prepared to make a move, looking like he wouldn't leave in the face of danger.
Xiao Lingyu originally did not intend to watch the two of them put on a show, but he saw that the old steward was indeed having a hard time defending himself. Although he was not worried that the old steward would be injured by the demonic beasts, he was afraid that Jia Gang and Miao Yan would plot against the old steward.
In such a chaotic situation, if Miao Yan and Jia Gang were to plot against the old steward, there was a high chance that they would succeed. Moreover, the experts of the Devil Sect would find it difficult to verify the matter.
Moreover, if he really left, the experts of the Devil Sect would probably suspect that there was something wrong with him when they asked about it later.
With these concerns, Xiao Lingyu didn't leave. As he continued to move, he attacked with more ordinary Devil Dao seals. Furthermore, he maintained the level of his attack power at the beginner Earth Demon level.
Before the experts of the Devil Sect arrived, another Heavenly Demon level demonic beast broke out of the cage and charged towards the old steward. It was in no hurry to kill its way out of the prison.
These demonic beasts had often been whipped by the old steward. Now that they were out, their first thought was to seek revenge on him.
"The three of you, go and hold it back!"
Seeing that the other demonic beast that broke out of the cage was only at the beginner Heavenly Demon level, the old steward shouted to Xiao Lingyu and the other two.
Xiao Lingyu didn't hesitate and moved towards the other demonic beast.
However, at this moment, Miao Yan was swept by the tail of the Earth Dragon-like demonic beast. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying far away. He struggled on the ground for a while but couldn't stand up again. He was probably seriously injured.
Jia Gang came over and seemed to be using all his strength to stop this beginner Heavenly Demon level demonic beast.
However, Jia Gang attacked first and provoked the demonic beast every time. Then, when the demonic beast was about to attack, he would quickly dodge and leave Xiao Lingyu alone.
Once or twice was nothing, but Jia Gang did it again and again. Xiao Lingyu could naturally guess that this guy was plotting against him and wanted him to be killed by the demonic beast. After all, he only displayed the strength of a beginner Earth Demon. He couldn't take a single attack from a beginner Heavenly Demon level demonic beast.
However, Xiao Lingyu was always able to dodge by the skin of his teeth, looking very miserable.
However, if he kept dodging, it would arouse suspicion. Xiao Lingyu originally wanted to injure himself once, but in the end, he gave up the idea. Instead of using injuries to convince everyone, he might as well use his own scheme against Jia Gang.
The old steward was using all his strength to resist the Earth Dragon-like demonic beast, and Miao Yan was lying in the distance like a dead man, refusing to get up. Even if Xiao Lingyu used a little trick to kill Jia Gang, no one would be too suspicious. After all, this demonic beast was at the beginner Heavenly Demon level and was much stronger than Jia Gang.
When Jia Gang provoked the demonic beast again and quickly retreated, Xiao Lingyu suddenly raised the power of his seal attack to the level of a beginner Earth Demon. Although it couldn't hurt the demonic beast, it made it suffer and chased after Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu quickly flashed to Jia Gang's side and shouted, "Save me!"
His face was filled with fear as he called for help. However, at the same time, Xiao Lingyu used his mind to shake Jia Gang's soul, causing Jia Gang to be stunned for a moment.
Xiao Lingyu and Jia Gang brushed past each other as if to hide behind. When the demonic beast that was tailing them saw Jia Gang in a daze, it stretched out its front claws and grabbed Jia Gang.
"Ah!"
Just as Jia Gang let out a blood-curdling scream, his body was torn in half by the raging magical beast. Just as his Demon Nascent Soul was about to escape, it was also swallowed by the magical beast.
It took a long time to describe, but in fact, from the moment Jia Gang dodged to the moment his Demon Infant was swallowed, only a breath's time had passed.
With Jia Gang dead on the spot, Xiao Lingyu was naturally unable to fend off the magical beast in the early stage of the Heavenly Demon Realm on the surface. He fled as if his life depended on it, and the direction he fled in was where Miao Yan was lying.
Miao Yan never thought that Jia Gang would die like that. With his level, he naturally couldn't see anything wrong with it. He only thought that Jia Gang had accidentally been killed. He was indeed injured at this time, but he had deliberately injured himself. It was definitely not to the extent that he had lost his ability to fight. When he saw the demonic beast charging at him, he naturally didn't dare to continue lying down. He immediately leaped up and dodged to the side.
Jia Gang's death forced the old steward to take a look. He didn't see how Jia Gang died, but he saw Miao Yan, who was lying motionless on the ground, moving as if nothing had happened. He knew that Miao Yan was faking it just now.
"Jia Gang is dead, but Xiao Lingyu is actually fine. But Jia Gang is also a person who deserves to die. It's best if Miao Yan dies too." The old steward sneered as he thought to himself.
Although Xiao Lingyu also wanted to deal with Miao Yan cleanly, the experts of the Devil Sect had already rushed over at this time, causing Xiao Lingyu's wishful thinking to fall through.
An expert of the Devil Sect, who was at the intermediate Devil King Realm, used only a few breaths' time to drive the two demonic beasts that had escaped back into the cage. He also used his strength to suppress the other demonic beasts, causing the entire cell to quieten down.
This expert of the intermediate Devil King Realm didn't leave, but he didn't ask about what had happened just now. Instead, he silently cast a spell in the cell, reinforcing all the loose restrictions in the cell. After that, he bid farewell to the old steward and left the Imperial Beast Hall.
Adult demonic beasts rioting was a common thing, so the experts of the Devil Sect who were invited to help usually left after finishing their work.
As for Jia Gang's death, under the old steward's intentional control, he could only blame it on that demonic beast. However, in his heart, the old steward still had a little doubt about this.
Miao Yan didn't die, and he was injured because of work. Naturally, he had made a contribution. The old steward said that he had already applied for a reward from the sect.
Miao Yan, who was recuperating, wasn't happy at all. Jia Gang's death caused him to lose his companion in the Imperial Beast Hall, and the reward that the sect wanted to give him wouldn't be very generous.
In the depths of his heart, Miao Yan wouldn't link Jia Gang's death to Xiao Lingyu. If he thought that Xiao Lingyu was the one who caused Jia Gang's death, he definitely wouldn't dare to have any ideas about Xiao Lingyu in the future. However, the contradiction was that he would blame Jia Gang's death on Xiao Lingyu, and his hatred for Xiao Lingyu increased a little.
Xiao Lingyu didn't put Miao Yan and Jia Gang in his eyes at all. Even Fang Yu and the old steward's cultivation base was too low, and they weren't on the same level as Xiao Lingyu. In the face of absolute strength, as long as Xiao Lingyu wasn't stupid and was vigilant, Jia Gang and Miao Yan wouldn't be able to scheme against him at all.
And if Xiao Lingyu wanted to scheme against Jia Gang and Miao Yan, he would definitely succeed!
Jia Gang was dead, Miao Yan was recuperating, and Xiao Lingyu was the only one left to take care of the cub.
The old steward could only ask the sect to send someone over, and the upper echelons of the East Pole Demon Sect quickly sent over two outer disciples.
These two outer disciples' cultivation bases weren't even at the early stage of the Earth Demon Realm, and they should have just ascended.
Of the two, one had a more dull temperament, and was called Wang Tai. He always had a straight face and refused to speak, as if someone owed him a large amount of Devil Stones. The other was more extroverted, and was called Hao Ren. He was always talking and laughing, but his eyes were clear, and his words were witty. He shouldn't be the kind of person who only knew how to talk, nor should he be a cunning person.
