Boom!

An explosion that tore through the air suddenly erupted.

The originally calm Door of Darkness instantly shook violently.

The vortexes inside spun crazily, stirring the air and producing rings of energy.

However, in less than three seconds, these vortexes disappeared, turning into nothing.

In its place was a huge sword energy that seemed to have materialized as it pierced through the Door of Darkness.

The power of the Door of Darkness was pushed aside by the sword energy and shrank to the sides in grievance.

Under the gaze of Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, the giant sword energy began a savage battle with the Door of Darkness.

One compressed inward, while the other forcefully opened.

In the end, the giant sword energy won. The Door of Darkness that was filled with unknown power was torn apart by the sword energy, revealing a passageway.

Whoosh!

A figure flashed out of the passageway.

Pei Donglai!

What realm is this fellow in?

The eyelids of the Essence Soul twitched under the Thunder Dragon Mask.

The Door of Darkness’ restrictions on the Primordial Spirit realm were useless on Pei Donglai.

The strength of this Sword Sage was obvious.

The problem was that the power that appeared when he passed through the Door of Darkness earlier was not that of the Soul Platform realm.

In the Soul Platform realm, the most obvious symbol was a Soul Platform that alternated between illusion and reality.

Su Jingxing had never seen the exact shape, so he wasn’t sure. In any case, it wasn’t sword energy.

Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether Pei Donglai was in the Soul Platform realm.

However, there was no doubt that he had the strength of the Soul Platform realm.

It was not that one would only possess the power of a certain realm after reaching it.

For example, before Su Jingxing reached the third-grade, he possessed first-grade true essence cultivation.

Pei Donglai was extremely talented. It was not unacceptable for him to possess the power of the Soul Platform realm at the Primordial Spirit realm.

In fact, this might even be the truth…

“And you are?”

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was slightly “shocked” when Pei Donglai came out of the passageway. It asked warily, “May I ask who you are?”

“Did anyone come out from this door earlier?”

Pei Donglai scanned his surroundings before his gaze fell on Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

“…Do I count as someone?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said subconsciously, “I just came out five minutes ago.”

Pei Donglai did not respond. His star-like eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

Under Pei Donglai’s gaze, the Essence Soul felt its heart palpitate for some reason. It felt as if it had been seen through.

But soon, it calmed down.

This fellow had used a secret art or soul skill on it.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul almost fell for it before it realized.

Immediately, its voice turned cold as it shouted, “What do you mean?”

This was not a provocation, but a counterattack as a Martial Sage.

A necessary counterattack!

As the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, his Essence Soul was being spied on and his secrets pried into.

If he did not counterattack, how could he guard the dynasty!

With his imposing manner and confidence weakened, what fighting spirit and morale would there be to speak of?

In the face of provocation, any Martial Sage would counterattack.

This had nothing to do with whether the opponent was powerful or not.

Especially since this was the Yu Nation’s territory. In the Yu Nation’s territory, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul could unleash its strongest power in defense and attack with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

Not to mention the protection of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

Of course, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was also putting on an act.

It had to act. Pei Donglai was testing it.

Su Jingxing didn’t want to provoke this battle fanatic. Just 10% of acting should be able to fool Pei Donglai.

And that was indeed the case.

Under Su Jingxing’s cold questioning, Pei Donglai retracted his invisible spying and scanned the underground space again. Then, he turned around and walked back into the Door of Darkness.

“You’re not bad.”

With that, Pei Donglai passed through the Door of Darkness and returned to the Little Demon World. He then put away the giant sword energy that opened the door.

Without the expulsion of the sword energy, the Door of Darkness immediately returned to its original state. It was covered in vortexes.

The surging astral energy and force gradually dissipated, and the underground space returned to calm.

He left!

The battle fanatic did not notice anything wrong with Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

The ninth class of the Void Soul realm was no challenge to Pei Donglai.

With the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor protecting him, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t see through its true appearance.

In Pei Donglai’s eyes, everyone, regardless of appearance, was the same.

Strength was his only pursuit.

Only the person who could resist him by absorbing demonic energy in the Little Demon World would interest Pei Donglai.

Unfortunately…

Su Jingxing did not let him have his way!

Su Jingxing was not interested in accepting Pei Donglai’s challenges.

He would let him search everywhere for the mysterious expert who could contend against him.

…

The three Ancient Demons, the Snake Demon and the Bone Demon had been eliminated, leaving only the Sword Demon in his palm space.

With Pei Donglai in the Little Demon World, Su Jingxing could temporarily put aside the threat of the demonic creatures.

Of course.

Before leaving Dongting Mountain, Su Jingxing called over the general of the Prefecture Army who had surrounded the foot of the mountain and asked him to send men to keep an eye on the entrance of the Demon’s Den.

Su Jingxing did not need to do such work of guarding the Demon’s Den every day personally.

The Prefecture Army could just send one or two commanders to take turns guarding it.

As for the Celestial Pole Sect, they had already moved away.

Although Wu Qifen couldn’t bear to leave Dongting Mountain, with the existence of the Demon’s Den, it was no longer suitable for them to stay there.

After all, the Celestial Pole Sect walked the path of elites and did not have a big population.

Unlike the Prefecture Army, where reinforcements could be replenished at any time.

Most importantly, without the Ancient Demons, the Little Demon World was now the most suitable training ground.

It was not convenient for Su Jingxing to announce the disappearance of the three Ancient Demons and the extermination of all the Half-Demon Overlords. However, when Pei Donglai searched the entire Little Demon World and could not find them, Luo Ao and the others would help him do so.
