The demon had been living in the demon world, which was a dark and gloomy place. When had it seen the scenery similar to the small bridge and flowing water in the gourd?

The Soul Devouring Beast's eyes lit up, and joy appeared on its ugly face. It began wandering around leisurely.

"Hey, hey, what are you? How can you be so ugly? In my place, you even don't care about my words. Do you know the rules?" The little Illusory Vine couldn't help but be furious when it saw that the Soul Devouring Beast didn't care about it at all.

It was initially a monster inside the gourd, so it was certainly the master of this space. Now, when it saw this ugly Soul Devouring Beast with low cultivation became so arrogant, it was naturally furious.

It arrived in front of the Soul Devouring Beast with a single leap. Its body expanded and transformed into a black-faced guardian deity. It held a Nine-sectioned Black Bone Whip in its hand, and its entire body shone with a golden light. It pointed at the Soul Devouring Beast and struck it on the head.

Actually, the real skill of Illusory Vine was to disillusion. In terms of cultivation, it was simply no match for the Soul Devouring Beast. The Illusory Vine looked majestic, but even if the whip landed on the Soul Devouring Beast's head, it wouldn't cause much damage. However, it didn't like the Soul Devouring Beast and wanted to scare it with its pure intentions.

However, the Soul Devouring Beast's Divine Awareness was so strong that it was even more potent than Xiao Yi's. How could this trick be able to fool it?

As its big nose twitched, the little Illusory Vine felt its head tighten. Then, its soul uncontrollably floated out of its body, and the huge phantom disappeared immediately, returning to its original shape of small arms and legs. A cluster of green soul quickly floated to the huge nose of the Soul Devouring Beast.

The Soul Devouring Beast was actually devouring the soul in this unique way.

The little Illusory Vine's soul was pitifully small. Naturally, it was not a match for the Soul Devouring Beast. When it saw its soul leaving its body and drifting out of control towards its ugly nostrils, it was scared out of its wits and screamed continuously. However, its soul was so weak that it couldn't even be heard, so it couldn't be expected that Xiao Yi would hear it.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die under the ugly nose. I won't die in peace." The little Illusory Vine howled loudly, and its heart was filled with despair.

Despite its ugly appearance and low cultivation, the Soul Devouring Beast was brilliant. It knew that the little Illusory Vine was raised by Xiao Yi in the gourd. If it swallowed the soul, Xiao Yi would blame on it. Therefore, it scared the little Illusory Vine. After that, its nostrils twitched and let go of the green soul, then it leisurely wandered in the gourd again.

The poor little Illusory Vine was almost scared to death and fell lightly to the ground. It took a lot of effort to finally get the soul back to its body.

"Oh my God, you ugly, how dare you attack me in my territory?! We're in deep enmity!" The moment the little Illusory Vine's Divine Soul returned to its body, it couldn't help but fly into a rage. However, when it thought about the terrible feeling of its Divine Soul leaving its body just now, it didn't dare to attack the Soul Devouring Beast anymore. Instead, it waved its small arms and stamped its feet as it cursed.

The Soul Devouring Beast ignored it. Pretending that it hadn't heard it, it began to stroll around happily.

The two were engaged in an intense battle inside the groud, but Xiao Yi was in no mood to bother about it.

Because Xiao Yi knew that at this moment, Xuanzhen and the others were about to completely seal the cave entrance. Time was very tight. Riding the flying sword, Xiao Yi went all out and rushed to the exit. If he could not get to the exit before their seal, it would be impossible for him to break through from inside.

Therefore, Xiao Yi controlled the flying sword to the extreme, turned into a red light, and immediately flew in the direction of the exit.

Along the way, he did not encounter any big demon at the same level as the demonic leopard. However, it was extremely difficult to pass through the dark and sticky air.

However, just as Xiao Yi was rushing with all his might, he suddenly discovered a ray of light not far in front of him.

"Eh? What's that?" That ray of light made Xiao Yi's heart jolt. This was because the demon world was pitch-black everywhere, and a single point of light made it seem particularly strange.

When this thought, Xiao Yi's flying sword also swiftly rushed over. It was getting closer and closer to the light.

Gradually, Xiao Yi was able to see the situation clearly in the light. However, his expression changed when he saw the situation clearly.

In the light in front of him, there was an unusually dilapidated altar.

It was on a small hill, with a huge altar made of black stone. Clusters of leaping flames were burning around it. It was unknown what kind of fire was burning, but it had a strong penetrating power. The light penetrated through it for several miles. In the dark and sticky demon world, it gave off a unique, pale white light.

On the altar stood a thick pillar that was a hundred meters tall and covered in black patterns. It was filled with black chains that were the size of a child's arm. It was unknown what material it was made of, but it was already covered in rust.

However, there was a person locked at the end of the chain!

Yes, it was a person! A person who was naked and had his skin and flesh torn.

His long, fluffy hair was clumped together with his dirty beard, almost covering his entire face.

A simple and old wooden nail full of Talismans was nailed to that person's Baihui Acupoint, which pierced through his head and was directly inserted into the top of his head. A similar wooden nail was also nailed to that person's lower abdomen, Guanyuan Acupoint, which was the Elixir Field.

In addition, several thick chains pierced through his big bones and nailed him to the pillar behind him. His limbs could not move slightly, and the skin of his whole body was burned black.

Dozens of giant crows hovered around his head noisily. When he was not paying attention, they swooped down and pecked at his flesh. The crows peed white bones from many parts of his body.

However, the man did not make a sound or move at all.

The crows were getting more and more violent. Some of the bold crows landed on the man's body and kept pecking at his flesh and blood.

Suddenly, the man opened his mouth wide and turned his head agilely like a flash of lightning. He caught the crow on his right shoulder off guard and bit it.

The crow jumped up and down desperately, making a series of groans. All the other crows were startled and flew up.

The man's teeth were as sharp as steel, biting the crow's neck. After a while, the crow did not move at all and was bitten to death.

The man's head swayed to the left and right like a wild beast, tearing off the feathers on the neck of a crow and gulping down its blood. In a few seconds, he sucked all the blood from the crow's body and turned it into a dried corpse.

"Hah hah hah." The man let out a long laugh, revealing a mouthful of blood-covered teeth.

At the same time, a pair of hawk-like eyes were suddenly lifted and looked at the sky. When he saw the bright red sword light of Xiao Yi, the eyes of that person could not help but be filled with ecstasy. His body, which was covered with white bones, was so excited that it began to tremble...

Xiao Yi's flying sword suddenly came to a stop. In the blink of an eye, it was not far from the altar.

Naturally, Xiao Yi's Divine Awareness was filled with shock by seeing that. He had never imagined that someone like this would exist in the Demon World.

"Taoist friend, save me!" The man suddenly opened his mouth and shouted hoarsely. His voice was abnormally dull and unpleasant to listen to, as if he had not spoken for hundreds of years. His words were unfamiliar.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xiao Yi felt a stab of fear in his heart. He stopped his sword radiance and returned the question.

"I am a rogue cultivator from the human world. A hundred years ago, I became a Warrior Sage, and people called me Ku Mu. However, I accidentally entered the demon world and was caught by several Demon Kings and nailed to this altar. Every day I suffered the torment of the crow. After a hundred years, I suffered a lot. You seem to be a human being from the human world. I hope you can help me! I will remember your kindness and repay it without hesitation!" The man said with a hoarse voice. At the end of his words, his tone became more smooth.

Xiao Yi had never heard of Ku Mu, and he didn not know whether the words of this person were true and false. However, Xiao Yi did not doubt the cultivation of the "Warrior Sage" that he mentioned, because as a grandmaster of forging weapons, Xiao Yi could tell at a glance that the two old-looking wooden nails on the top of this person's head and Elixir Field were actually very powerful. They were called Soul-subduing Nail and were used to seal the soul and True Energy of the person. Once they were nailed, the person's Divine Awareness couldn't be released and the True Energy couldn't be operated. Even if the person wanted to destroy himself, it was impossible for him to accomplish it. He really had to live but even if he wanted to die.

And it could be seen from the rusted chains on his body that this man was obviously on the broken altar for many years. For such a long time, his limbs couldn't move too much and his True Energy couldn't be used, but he could still survive by drinking crow's blood. This was enough to show how strong his body was.

If he was not at the Warrior Sage Realm, he would not have been able to hold out for so long!

"Taoist friend, save me! As long as I leave this demon world, I will give you everything, and thank you! I used to be a Warrior Sage and have amassed a great deal of wealth. Whatever you wish to obtain, I will satisfy you. I can give you any supreme-grade Dharma treasure or pills you want. I will be freed if you reach your hand and pull out the two wooden nails on my body. For you, it will be as easy as lifting a hand." Ku Mu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi. There was a pleading look in his eyes as he tried to gain a lot of benefits in his attempt to gain Xiao Yi's favor.

However, after listening to the Ku Mu's words, Xiao Yi had no intention of rescuing him at all.

This was because even with Xiao Yi's powerful consciousness, Xiao Yi could sense that there was a murderous intent hidden deep in this person's bones. Although the nature of a person would inevitably change after being tormented for a hundred years, Xiao Yi was instinctively on guard against this Ku Mu in front of him.
