Primordial Emperor
Chapter 509

Chapter 509: 509

Seeing that he was no match for Cheng Huan, Qing Xuan immediately looked up at the opening above the great hall and called out for help.

Hearing this, Lin Chen and the others immediately became vigilant.

As the ruler of a nation, even though it was under the Formation Sect as a vassal state, there was no need to address even the elders or Peak Masters of the Formation Sect as ’Your Majesty.’ However, at this moment, Qing Xuan actually called the person who had not yet appeared ’Your Majesty,’ indicating he had already submitted to them.

Could this possibly be the tentacle creature that Qing Wu had mentioned?

Whoosh whoosh—

Just as Lin Chen and the others were filled with suspicions, a black Spiritual Power vortex suddenly appeared above the great hall, and a black tentacle demon crawled out from within the vortex.

"What kind of monster is this... such a dense Yin Sha Qi."

Lin Chen looked up at the tentacle demon that had appeared above the great hall, his brows furrowing immediately. No wonder he had felt a strong surge of Yin Sha Qi coming from this direction yesterday; it turned out to be emitted by the tentacle demon in front of him.

"Your Majesty, save me."

Screech screech screech—

However, just as Qing Xuan thought the tentacle demon would come to his rescue, the demon’s tentacles suddenly extended, more than a dozen of them piercing deeply into Qing Xuan’s body.

"Why... why!?"

Qing Xuan felt his blood and life force being rapidly drained, utterly baffled.

"Idiot, I did not kill you solely because I wanted to control Qingmu Kingdom through you. But now that the disciples of Formation Sect have already investigated this far, you no longer have any value to me."

"However, at this moment, you still have one last use, and that is to become my nourishment."

As the tentacle demon spoke, it soon sucked Qing Xuan dry, leaving behind a skeletal corpse.

"You are a Demon Cultivator from Red Soul Hall!?"

Cheng Huan, looking at the tentacle demon above his head, his brows deeply furrowed, felt a tremendous pressure.

He Ye and the others also took out their weapons, looking at the tentacle demon, ready for a fight.

"Indeed, I belong to Red Soul Hall. A hundred years ago, that despicable woman Mu Qianqiu almost killed me. Luckily, I managed to escape using a secret technique and survived."

"After a century of recovery, I have finally regained some strength, but I have become this neither human nor ghostly figure."

"Today, I will collect some interest from you little kids from Formation Sect."

The tentacle demon writhed its body, and as its tentacles spread out, a head devoid of hair and completely crimson emerged from the flesh of the tentacle demon.

Everyone was startled by this sight.

"This guy has been lurking in the Qingmu Kingdom for almost a hundred years without being detected by anyone. It seems he’s quite skillful."

Cheng Huan was extremely shocked in his heart because Qingmu Kingdom, as a second-rank vassal state of the Formation Sect, was located not close to the Formation Sect, yet was still within the central region of its influence. And yet, a demon from Red Soul Hall had been hiding right in the belly of the Formation Sect’s territory without any detection.

Was this due to negligence from the members of the Formation Sect, or was someone within the Sect actually providing cover?

Cheng Huan secretly decided that once he returned to the Sect, he would report this matter.

"Brother Qin, Ouyang Xuan, take Xia Wanxin and escape back to Formation Sect immediately, report this matter to the Sect so they can send a powerful expert, at least someone with the strength of a Peak Master."

Seeing the tentacle demon, Lin Chen immediately spoke to Qin Kaifeng and the others.

"Brother Lin, we will stay and fight with you."

Although Qin Kaifeng and the others knew that Lin Chen’s strength was above theirs, the thought of running away and leaving Lin Chen behind didn’t sit well with them.

"Stop the nonsense, listen to him, you must leave quickly; you cannot handle this demon."

This time, Cheng Huan stood on Lin Chen’s side, immediately addressing Xia Wanxin and the others.

"Lin Chen, I don’t want to go, I want to stay with you."

Xia Wanxin looked at Lin Chen. Now that she understood the power of the tentacle demon in front of them, she was even less willing to leave Lin Chen to face it alone. After all, Lin Chen already had a special place in her heart.

Thump—

However, just as Xia Wanxin finished speaking, Cheng Huan knocked her unconscious.
