Chapter 1754: Chapter 1746: You May Leave Now

The demon dogs glared fiercely, their faces vicious, their eyes bloodthirsty!

They squatted beside the three young men, their tusks chilling.

Originally.

Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei had hoped they could shake off these creatures and escape.

But the appearance of these three young men forced them into despair.

Previously.

They had never faced off.

Yet, when Ye Tianzhe saw these three before, he had fled in panic with Ying Zimei to this place.

The other party, they are three cultivators!

Especially the leading youth, the strongest, made it impossible for him, at the peak of Martial Venerate, to muster any thought of resistance!

Previously, they managed to escape only because the other party did not pursue them immediately.

But instead sent a pack of demon dogs to chase them all the way here.

Just the pack of fearless demon dogs made Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei utterly disheveled.

However.

They still had confidence in being able to escape!

But the appearance of the three youths instantly plunged them into despair!

"Young sirs, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Tianzhe pulled Ying Zimei behind him, gnawed his teeth, somewhat helplessly said.

"Young sirs? No, no... We are not worthy of that title!"

The leading youth smiled lightly, shook his head, and said, "I am Mr. Lee Cangjue, and these are my junior brothers Deng Xiaoyun and Shi Feng! They both hail from the Demon Cloud Sect!"

Towards the end, Lee Cangjue also introduced the youths standing on either side.

At this moment, Lee Cangjue’s demeanor — if there weren’t that pack of demon dogs nearby, if Ye Tianzhe and the others weren’t injured — outsiders might think the three were being exceedingly courteous to Ye Tianzhe and his disciple.

But in reality, these three are outright murderers without a shred of remorse!

Raising a pack of demon dogs proves it!

Especially since Ye Tianzhe had seen the three act before; they are demon cultivators!

Entities who kill without blinking an eye!

"Mr. Lee, Young Master Deng, Mr. Shi!"

Ye Tianzhe was frightened, a dignified Martial Arts Venerate, with a pleading tone in his voice: "Earlier, my disciple and I unintentionally ruined your plans, honestly! Please spare us! We are just martial artists, worthless in your eyes!"

"Did I say I wanted to kill you? So what if you are a peak Martial Venerate? A martial artist is still just a martial artist, less than an ant, how could you compare with us cultivators! I could kill you a hundred times with a flick of my finger!"

Lee Cangjue smirked coldly, glanced at Ye Tianzhe with disdain, and said.

Upon hearing this.

Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei were both left stunned.

Then.

At the next moment.

Their faces involuntarily showed delight.

These three, didn’t intend to kill them!

Could it be... the pursuit by the demon dogs was merely a lesson?

Thinking of this.

Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei exchanged a glance, grinning broadly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee, for sparing us!"

Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei bowed respectfully, gratefully shouting.

The three before them, even Ying Zimei understands well, are disciples of a cultivation sect, clearly core disciples of the sect, exceptionally talented!

Reaching the peak Martial Venerate level, Ye Tianzhe was knowledgeable about many aspects of the cultivation world.

But.

In terms of cultivation, he couldn’t reach that realm, yet concerning understanding, he knew much about the cultivation world.

A peak Martial Venerate, once broken through, even with terrible luck, can step into the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

In terms of combat power, maybe the improvement isn’t much.

But entering Foundation Establishment, being able to cultivate more powerful techniques and spells makes one definitely stronger than a peak Martial Venerate!

A peak Martial Venerate occasionally might be stronger than a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but that’s an exception, considered against the weakest Foundation Establishment cultivators!

After all, cultivators and martial artists are fundamentally different!

Thus.

Without stepping into the cultivation path, even at peak martial venerability, Ye Tianzhe understands well that the three youths before him are very powerful and must not be provoked!

Following Ye Tianzhe’s cultivation for years, Ying Zimei reached the level of Earth-level Martial Artist at such a young age, naturally knowing quite a bit!

In the mortal world, a transformation realm martial venerate can act unrestrained!

But facing cultivators, Ye Tianzhe deeply understands he is nothing!

Now.

The master and disciple only hope to preserve their lives and leave!

"Hehe... I won’t kill you! But deep within Juye Ridge is under the dominion of the Demon Cloud Sect; you trespassed without our consent; shouldn’t you give an explanation?"

Lee Cangjue’s face suddenly turned stern, coldly laughed and remarked.

Upon hearing this abrupt change in topic, Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei’s faces both changed dramatically.

"Mr. Lee, I am willing to compensate! Many herbal medicines, many antiques... I have them readily available! If you’re looking for spiritual grasses, that might be challenging... please give us a chance!"

Ye Tianzhe gritted his teeth, quickly pleaded apologetically.

"Hahahaha..."

But the next moment, Lee Cangjue laughed aloud, with a thick mockery.

Then.

He stopped laughing, shook his head, looked at Ye Tianzhe, then shook his head and said, "Just those things?"

"Not to mention, you startled our intended prey, the Hundred Spirit Deer; how do you plan to make amends?"

Lee Cangjue’s face turned somber, coldly said: "That was crucial feed for my Green Wolf Scorpion; how will you compensate?"

"Mr. Lee..."

Ye Tianzhe’s old face twisted, feeling at a loss.

Such a thing, how could they possibly compensate?

Earlier, entering Juye Ridge, they coincidentally stumbled upon Lee Cangjue and the others amidst their hunt.

Unknowingly rushing in scared the appearing Hundred Spirit Deer away.

Furious, Lee Cangjue, with Deng Xiaoyun and Shi Feng, pursued the Hundred Spirit Deer while ordering the demon dogs to chase Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei.

This made both Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei feel extremely unlucky and helpless!

"I won’t kill you!"

At this moment, Lee Cangjue shook his head, his gaze icy, sweeping over the two, and said: "Old man, your martial arts venerability is quite decent. So, for the meantime, you can substitute for the Hundred Spirit Deer, becoming food for my Green Wolf Scorpion! And as for you..."

Finally, Lee Cangjue’s gaze fell on Ying Zimei, grinning and said: "With such a rich Yin Element in your body, your constitution must be unique; thus, become my cultivation cauldron!"

This statement.

Instantly caused Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei’s faces to transform, retreating in horror.

To become food for that Green Wolf Scorpion?

And what’s a cultivation cauldron?

Though Ying Zimei didn’t know what a cultivation cauldron meant, both she and her teacher Ye Tianzhe were terrified.

"We’d rather die than submit!"

Ye Tianzhe and Ying Zimei were desperate, yet resolute in their refusal to yield; if they must die, better to die swiftly.

Then, Ye Tianzhe looked at Ying Zimei, his face fierce.

"Zimei, we can’t let them take us, captured would be worse than death, even crueler! Master will send you first!"

With a shout, Ye Tianzhe raised his hand to act against Ying Zimei.

Clearly, he intends to kill Ying Zimei, and then end himself.

Rather than falling into Lee Cangjue and others’ hands, it would definitely be worse!

"Humph, you think you can die!"

"Demon Cloud Barrier!"

In the instant Ye Tianzhe prepared to strike, Lee Cangjue lunged forward, a palm emitting a dark hue striking Ye Tianzhe’s nape.

Suddenly.

Ye Tianzhe’s eyes widened, followed by a look of agony, groaning in muffled pain on the ground.

Simultaneously, Lee Cangjue clasped onto Ying Zimei’s throat, lifting her directly.

"Ant, what right do you have to struggle!"

Lee Cangjue assessed Ying Zimei, nodding and smirking: "Very nice!"

At this moment.

On Ying Zimei’s face, besides despair, there was only despair.

"Brother Lee, there’s someone else here!"

Suddenly, Shi Feng standing on the other side noticed Lin Tian sitting cross-legged in the canyon’s depths, spoke in astonishment.

Lee Cangjue and Deng Xiaoyun were also surprised, turning to look.

Upon noticing the three’s attention on him, Lin Tian raised his eyes, curled his lips, and said: "Your matters, I don’t care! But now that it’s resolved, leave already!"
