Chapter 173 Senior Brother and the Others Are Arrested
The storage ring clearly showed that the distance between him and his senior brother and the others was getting closer and closer.
Gao Huohuo was anxious and had little patience left to spend more time with Hao and let him think things through.
She raised her eyebrows, stared intently at Hao with piercing eyes, and said sharply without any mercy:
"I'll give you two choices: one, die on the spot immediately;"
Secondly, by following me, you will have the opportunity to become the Demon Lord in the future.
Hao inwardly groaned, thinking to himself: What kind of multiple-choice question is this?
It sounds like either way, it's death—one is death now, the other is death in the future.
But then I thought, even ants cherish life, so I might as well live as long as I can.
With this thought in mind, Hao hurriedly put on a fawning expression and looked at Gao Huohuo with a flattering look.
He flattered, "Lord Huo, I'll take the job. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
"That's good. Relax and sign the contract with me!"
"Don't worry, when the time is right, this demon realm will be yours sooner or later."
After the two finished their business, Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang successfully exchanged hostages.
Now that Hao had pledged allegiance to Gao Huohuo, he was considered free and no longer needed to be constantly watched.
Gao Huohuo glanced at Lang and felt that it was pointless to bother with anything else.
He simply took out a puppet talisman, skillfully affixed it to Lang's body, and then ignored him.
Hao, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the sight, his face filled with astonishment.
Is that all?
When it comes to how they treat themselves, they use both coercion and bribery.
After all that trouble, is Lang really going to be so simple and crude?
Gao Huohuo seemed to sense his confusion, turned her head and smiled slightly at him, but did not offer any further explanation.
Before long, a demon town came into view.
Looking around, the town bore a striking resemblance to an ordinary human village.
Gao Huohuo quickly glanced at the storage ring and saw that the flashing light clearly indicated that his senior brother and the others were currently there.
"Master, there's a demonic cultivator with the cultivation level of the Void Refinement stage here!"
Upon hearing Xiao Lingzi's reminder, she immediately turned to Hao and instructed him:
"Hao, go down and find out where Senior Brother and the others are."
Seeing that Hao was so trusted by human cultivators and entrusted with important responsibilities, they were amazed.
Lang watched from the sidelines, his mind filled with doubt.
With a furrowed brow, he pondered to himself: Could it be because my cultivation level is too high, making me difficult to control?
The demonic cultivators in the small town were all filled with surprise when they first saw Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang.
They were whispering to each other and talking a lot.
But when their gaze fell on Lang in front of them, they instantly thought they understood the situation.
These two humans must be slaves of that Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves:
Where did you find these two slaves, whose cultivation is so high and whose appearance is so outstanding?
Logically speaking, once righteous cultivators of the human race fall into the hands of the demon race, most of them would simply self-destruct, so why would they willingly become slaves?
With this in mind, some busybodies couldn't contain their curiosity.
He mustered his courage and stepped forward to inquire of Lang:
"My lord, where did you capture these two human slaves from?"
Even worse, a lecherous demonic cultivator, oblivious to the dangers, dared to reach out and touch Gao Huohuo's face.
Gao Huohuo stared at the demonic cultivator, thinking: Come on! He reached out and chopped him off.
To everyone's surprise, Zhong Hanshang's eyes sharpened, and he subtly stepped to the side, easily deflecting the man's hand.
At the same time, his gaze swept coldly over the crowd.
At this moment, Lang's tone was cold and carried an unquestionable air of authority:
"Get out of the way, these two are the Demon Lord's special requests."
Upon hearing this, the other demonic cultivators in the town felt a chill run down their spines.
He immediately abandoned those wicked thoughts and retreated to the side, feeling rather disgruntled.
Only Lang's heart was filled with fear.
He was secretly alarmed: Why did he say such a thing just now?
That was definitely not what I originally wanted to say!
He clearly wanted to shout loudly, to tell everyone that these two humans were extremely arrogant and that they needed to be captured immediately.
Strangely, once he opened his mouth, the words that came out completely changed their meaning.
A chill ran through him: Had he already been completely controlled by these two humans?
But he can still think, and his consciousness remains clear.
He knew that the demon race did indeed have similar techniques for controlling people.
However, once controlled, one's consciousness will slowly dissipate over time.
No, I absolutely cannot let those two humans realize that I still have my own consciousness.
Lang gritted his teeth, secretly pondering:
It must be because their cultivation level was lower than mine, so when they used that control technique, they were unable to completely eliminate my consciousness.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
There's still a chance, waiting for the day he can regain control of his body.
I must turn these two into my puppets, so that they can neither live nor die!
This seemingly ordinary town actually hides a secret, with a demonic cultivator at the Void Refinement stage in charge.
Otherwise, given Gao Huohuo's impulsive nature, he would have already been eagerly searching for it himself.
After much anticipation, Hao rushed back, looking flustered and panting as he said:
"Lord Huo, something terrible has happened!"
Your senior brothers have been captured and are about to be thrown into the arena to duel with other slaves!
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo was stunned and deeply shocked.
She never expected that her senior brother and the others would be captured; she had originally thought they had cleverly hidden themselves here.
Anger surged within her instantly, and she glared fiercely at Lang.
He thought to himself: It's all that damned Lang's fault. If he hadn't stopped me and Zhong Hanshang halfway, how could our senior brother and the others have encountered such a predicament?
You should know that the Demon Clan's dueling arena is an extremely cruel place.
Once you step into that situation, it's a fight to the death.
Unless no one on the other side can step into the ring, the fight must continue until one side is completely wiped out.
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo hurriedly transmitted his thoughts to Zhong Hanshang, quickly stating his ideas:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, I plan to participate in the duel with my senior brother and the others in a little while."
"You stay up there and keep a close eye on Lang. Make sure nothing goes wrong with him."
Upon hearing Gao Huohuo's plan, Zhong Hanshang rejected it without even thinking.
Before he left, the sect leader and his master repeatedly instructed him to take good care of everyone in the Shadow Moon Sect.
At this moment, how could he hide up there alone and watch them fight down below?
“I disagree. Either I go down with you, or I go alone and you stay up here.”
Zhong Hanshang's attitude was resolute, and his tone left no room for doubt.
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but feel annoyed, muttering to himself:
Why is he being so stubborn now?
I shouldn't have brought him; he's so disobedient.
The reason she went was because she had a system, so she didn't have to worry about being killed.
There was a readily available "blood pack" in front of her, and besides, the trapped person was a fellow disciple of the Shadow Moon Sect, so she had to help no matter what.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, don't forget what you promised your master: you would follow my arrangements in everything."
Gao Huohuo tried to use his master to pressure him.
"My master specifically instructed me to take good care of all of you."
Zhong Hanshang remained unyielding, his words resolute.
