"Hehe!"

Xiao Mu sneered, undeterred, "Who started troubling who first?"

He intended to fully focus on slaying the demon, but Shi Weiyuan and his group got envious because he was killing the demon too quickly. They repeatedly caused trouble and deliberately obstructed his actions. How could he let that go?

Shi Weiyuan forcefully said, "Don't mention the past. Continuing to struggle will benefit no one. The power of the demon is growing stronger, and by then, neither of us will be able to escape."

Xiao Mu laughed coldly, "Is the increase in the demon's power my doing?"

The color on Shi Weiyuan's face changed, "Xiao Mu, don't ignore the big picture."

"The big picture?"

Xiao Mu laughed.

Discussing the big picture with me? Who ignored the big picture first? When they were previously obstructing me from killing the demon, why didn't they mention the big picture then?

Now that the problem has become serious, they start talking about the big picture?

"Hehe!"

Xiao Mu sneered again, "Who first disregarded the big picture?"

The color of Shi Weiyuan's face changed again, "What do you want?"

Xiao Mu persistently refused to let go. Shi Weiyuan really had no way to deal with him.

"Very simple, compensation."

Xiao Mu sternly said, "You attacked me first, causing me to miss multiple chances to kill the demon. So, I demand compensation, not much, just five Energy Fruits."

Shi Weiyuan was furious, he shouted, "Xiao Mu, don't go too far."

"Too far?"

Xiao Mu smirked, "If that's the case, make it ten."

"You…"

Shi Weiyuan was filled with rage, but eventually chose to maintain his patience, gritted his teeth, took out a small box, and threw it to Xiao Mu, "Remember what you promised."

Xiao Mu neatly caught it and checked it. In the box were five Energy Fruits arranged neatly.

He casually put it away, "We're settled now."

Shi Weiyuan ground his teeth, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"You don't need to urge me. I have my own plans."

Xiao Mu said this as he released the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram.

In the thunder, a black and white Tai Chi Diagram directly charged towards a demon. With the cooperation of Stone Soul and Wood Spirit and without Shi Weiyuan and others deliberately obstructing him, he immediately beheaded a demon on the spot.

Shi Weiyuan's face changed as he watched. Xiao Mu's demon-killing speed was as fast as ever. Under these circumstances, the last four demons will likely end up with only one falling into his hands.

In desperation, he loudly commanded Shi Weiyuan and the others, "Cooperate with me to kill the demon."

Even as he spoke, he released the Demon Slayer Spike.

"Yes, Boss Shi."

Shi Weiyuan and the others hastily agreed, launching their strongest attacks at the demon to stop it from escaping.

The Demon Slayer Spike pinned the mid-stage Fourth Realm demon with ease, followed by Shi Weiyuan's Flying Sword Fragment striking it down.

Upon the demon's death, Shi Weiyuan and the others immediately rushed towards another demon. At this moment, however, they heard the scream of a demon from Xiao Mu's side.

Damn!

Shi Weiyuan swore inwardly.

Xiao Mu's demon-killing speed was too fast. Although he had already called Shi Weiyuan and the others for help, their overall speed still couldn't match him.

At the same time, he secretly felt relieved. Thankfully, he had called Shi Weiyuan and the others for help, otherwise, he would only be able to get one of the remaining four demons.

Soon, the last demon was also killed by Shi Weiyuan and the others.

"Boss Shi, is it all over now?"

As soon as the last demon died, Shi Weiyuan let out a sigh of relief.

With the death of the demons, he no longer had to risk mortal danger to lure the demons.

"Something's not right!"

Shi Weiyuan shook his head, his face slightly altered.

"Boss Shi, what's wrong? Aren't all the demons dead?"

Shi Weiyuan felt uneasy.

Xiao Mu slightly shook his head, sensing that something was indeed not right.

Although the demon was dead, he sensed an extreme danger, as if a terrifying desolate beast was hiding nearby, ready to pounce at any moment.

This feeling of danger even gave him a serious sense of life-threatening crisis.

He motioned to Stone Soul and Wood Spirit.

"Mr. Xiao, did you notice anything?"

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit walked over, noticing that Xiao Mu's expression was somewhat off.

Xiao Mu looked serious, "In the past, when you entered the Demon Secret Realm, how strong was the most formidable entity you encountered?"

Stone Soul didn't understand Xiao Mu's intention. Still, he answered, "Not too strong, the strongest was just at the late-stage of the Fourth Realm."

"Late-stage of the Fourth Realm?"

Xiao Mu looked even more serious. The danger he sensed definitely couldn't be caused by a Fourth Realm late stage practitioner.

That sense of danger felt like it could even exceed the Fifth Realm.

At this time, Shi Weiyuan suddenly spoke, "All dead? Did any of you see the Fourth Realm late-stage demon leader?"

"Demon leader?"

As they heard this, everyone present was stunned.

When they saw the demon's stronghold, Shi Weiyuan had mentioned that based on the number of demons, there should be at least one late-stage Fourth Realm demon leader.

But now, with all seven demons killed, none of them saw any trace of the so-called late-stage Fourth Realm demon leader.

Among the seven demons, the strongest was just a mid-stage Fourth Realm demon.

This situation is highly abnormal!

If among the seven demons, one was a late-stage Fourth Realm demon leader, it certainly wouldn't have been this easy to kill them.

"I think we should leave now!"
