Chapter 473: Chapter 474: Coercion (1st Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

Lei Jue spoke, his tone utterly merciless, icy to the extreme.

After all, he was a respected Inner Sect Disciple, and even if he killed a few Outer Sect Disciples, he wouldn’t face any punishment.

Besides, in this Demonic Realm, even if Lei Jue committed murder, who would know?

Only then did everyone feel a chill down their spines, realizing that by following Lei Jue here, they had no way out.

"The demonic influence in here, if each of us resists it on our own, it might be much easier, right?"

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian slowly spoke up.

"If one person goes to resist such demonic influence alone, I fear their Spiritual Power will soon be exhausted, and they’ll become corrupted by the demonic influence, which would be even more troublesome."

"Hmph, if anyone is corrupted by the demonic influence and becomes a demon, I will be the first to kill them!"

Lei Jue said, his voice cold to the extreme.

"Moreover, the use of you worthless trash is nothing more than to resist the demonic influence, do you think I chose you for any other reason? You are here to resist the demonic influence!"

"Now if you know what’s good for you, step forward obediently to resist the demonic influence. Maybe some of you can survive. But if you’re thinking of resisting, you’re all as good as dead."

The moment Lei Jue opened his mouth, his Spiritual Power was fully on display without any attempt to hide it, incredibly robust.

Such might oppressed Chu Fengmian and the other three, the slightly weaker trio becoming pale under this force, lacking even the ability to resist.

Only Chu Fengmian, with a serious countenance, could slightly resist under this power but he deliberately pretended to struggle greatly.

"Oh? You can withstand my pressure, you have some strength then. Good, since you want to stand out, you’ll be the one to walk in front and resist the demonic influence."

Lei Jue glanced at Chu Fengmian and directly sneered, commanding him.

That tone was an absolute order.

"Brother Lei, let me do it."

Mang Tong, who was beside him, couldn’t help but speak out after hearing Lei Jue’s words.

Chu Fengmian had only spoken a word that involved him, and Mang Tong felt sympathy, promptly speaking up.

"I’ll be the one to resist the demonic influence."

"Shut up! Chu Fengmian, you are the one to resist the demonic influence!"

Lei Jue’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of murderous intent, and instantly his Spiritual Power fully surged.

The emergence of this force made Chu Fengmian’s eyes reveal a hint of apprehension.

Eventually, Chu Fengmian’s gaze flickered, his face showing reluctance, but he still moved to the front of the crowd, gathering his Spiritual Power to resist the corruption of the demonic influence.

Yet in Chu Fengmian’s heart, he sneered repeatedly. Lei Jue’s actions were all noted in his mind—it wasn’t a case of not taking revenge, simply that the time had not yet come.

With Chu Fengmian’s temperament, how could he possibly allow someone like Lei Jue to bully him like this?

However, Chu Fengmian’s face showed a reluctantly submissive expression, perfectly feigned, it seemed he was indeed submitting to Lei Jue’s strength and had no choice but to do so.

In the eyes of the other three, there was a hint of sympathy, especially Mang Tong, whose eyes were full of regret, yet no one dared to speak up anymore.

In a world where strength was revered, without power, all was in vain.

Lei Jue glanced at Chu Fengmian and said coldly.

"You know your place!"

"Move, head deeper into the cave."

Chu Fengmian walked at the forefront, gathering Spiritual Power to resist the waves of demonic corruption, continuing deeper into the cave.

As they delved deeper into the cavern, the demon essence grew stronger.

These demon essences actually condensed into demons, clawing and baring their fangs as they all pounced at them.

The strength of these demons wasn’t impressive, but their numbers were vast, and they could condense out of thin air at any time to ambush Chu Fengmian.

He had been on the move constantly, with no time to rest or recover his Spiritual Power; by the time he was about to reach the deepest part of the cavern, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power had almost completely depleted.

Lei Jue glanced over and, seeing that Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power was indeed about to run out, he slowly spoke to Mang Tong,

"Kid, go back, it’s your turn to go up front and resist the demon essence."

"Okay."

Mang Tong hurried to take over, replacing Chu Fengmian. Looking at Chu Fengmian, guilt flashed across his face. He quickly stepped up to take on the task of resisting the demon essence.

Chu Fengmian, on the other hand, pretended to be extremely weak, following at the back of the group to recover his Spiritual Power.

Of course, all of this was feigned by Chu Fengmian. With his Divine Veins, his Spiritual Power was continuously replenishing; his Spiritual Power could never truly be exhausted.

At this moment, if Chu Fengmian wished, he could recover his Spiritual Power any time and return it to perfect condition.

The secret of the Divine Veins was too colossal—in the Nine Domains, although there were rumors of them, no one had ever truly unlocked them.

Such a secret was something Chu Fengmian was not yet willing to reveal, so naturally, he feigned depletion of his Spiritual Power.

At the same time, Chu Fengmian wanted to see Lei Jue’s act in this underground space, as he had begun to sense something unusual.

The group continued their descent into the cavern.

Mang Tong’s strength was clearly far inferior to Chu Fengmian’s, and soon his Spiritual Power was exhausted, and someone else had to step forward.

When they were about to reach the deepest point, Chu Fengmian and his group had all run out of Spiritual Power.

Lei Jue swept his gaze over Chu Fengmian and his group and spoke coldly.

"You bunch of trash did well, to get this far."

Mang Tong responded with a helpless smile,

"From here on, we will have to rely entirely on Brother Lei."

Now that their Spiritual Power was completely consumed in resisting the demon essence, leaving them without any strength, they could only pin their hopes on Lei Jue.

Lei Jue glanced at Mang Tong, his eyes flickering before he spoke,

"The altar is just ahead; you don’t need to worry."

With that, Lei Jue walked at the forefront, leading Chu Fengmian and the others towards the deepest part of the cavern.

"How come we haven’t encountered anyone from the Earth Demon Sect along the way?"

Mang Tong quietly conversed from behind.

"I don’t know, maybe there are no people from the Earth Demon Sect in this cavern."

Hua Xin sneered.

"What bad luck, to end up with such a task."

"Let it go, we shouldn’t complain. Our luck isn’t too bad this time; at least we didn’t encounter anyone from the Earth Demon Sect, so there’s no danger."

Qu Mu spoke lucidly.

Only Chu Feng remained silent throughout. He could sense that something was off about everything around them.

This journey had been a little too smooth, considering this was the Demon Realm. It shouldn’t be this easy.
