I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 861: Chapter 803: Rushing Toward Freedom

With her belly round and full, Jiang Yuebai bounded back to the lakeside pavilion at the center of Mirror Lake Island on her short legs.

The Fire Qilin was lounging in the shadows at the corner of the courtyard, snoring away.

It seemed that these beastly Demon Clans mainly cultivated through sleep. So blessed!

Jiang Yuebai tiptoed on her hooves, quietly approaching the Fire Qilin whose mane blazed like flames, and whose chest gently rose and fell rhythmically.

When she was close enough, Jiang Yuebai used the Dream Killing Technique, uttering soft snores with rhythmic sound waves rippling outward toward the Fire Qilin.

Holding her breath, one claw was suspended in the air, fearing she’d wake the Fire Qilin.

As the first sound ripple brushed over the Fire Qilin’s head, Jiang Yuebai vaguely glimpsed scattered dreamscapes.

In one, the Fire Qilin looked even more majestic and imposing, standing atop a cliff edge, its body ablaze with red flames, roaring with authority as all beasts bowed.

In another, it was chaos. Human clan experts exhibited various divine skills, encircling the Fire Qilin in the void. The Fire Qilin swept through thousands, defeating the human clan’s experts, shattering the void, and escaping into the Immortal Gate.

In the final image, the Fire Qilin appeared gentle, gazing ahead, though the direction was blurred and unclear.

Jiang Yuebai intensified her demon thought, hoping to see more sharply, but suddenly felt a tightness in her scalp, and all images vanished abruptly.

Not far away, the Fire Qilin opened its indifferent, merciless eyes, the corners of its mouth twitching as its sharp teeth came into view.

Gulp!

Jiang Yuebai swallowed hard, her raised hoof scratched twice in the air, then twisted her head, jumped, pretending to pounce on a Demon Insect.

Eyes on nose, nose on heart, avoiding the Fire Qilin, stiffly running away.

She always felt that if not for some unknown reason, this ugly creature would truly devour her.

Jiang Yuebai dashed into Shen Mingjing’s study, transforming into human form upon entry. The Demon Clan typically lacked a physical form, made up of demonic qi and demon heart, able to transform with demonic qi directly to form clothing—very convenient.

However, different clan demons had different appearances, in the Demon Realm, few demons stayed as masses of demonic qi, often taking a clan-specific shape for easy recognition and communication.

Reading over half a day in the study’s top-floor loft, Jiang Yuebai’s stomach growled again. As a Mirage Demon, her demon heart’s demonic qi was as thin as porridge, not satisfying.

Yet her half-baked Dream Killing Technique was currently no match for the Fire Qilin guy, how to escape the Mirage Demon territory to find her brother?

Jiang Yuebai gazed towards the distant coast in melancholy, suddenly noticing two menacing black masses of demonic qi rushing from the horizon.

The two masses paused above the Mirage Demon Sea, faintly revealing two Magic Demons with four scythe-arm limbs.

It’s the Sword Demon Clan!

They glanced over the Mirage Demon Sea, raising one scythe arm to scratch their heads, seemingly puzzled at the sea level’s significant drop.

But they quickly abandoned thinking, split left and right, weaving strands of demonic qi into nets in mid-air, casting them toward the sea.

Upon casting, several streaks of demonic qi burst from the sea, rapidly fleeing in every direction, yet over a dozen Mirage Demons were scooped out by the demonic qi net, struggling desperately.

The two Sword Demons swiftly discarded the smaller Mirage Demons, keeping only those at the Magic Demon Realm, removing a black sack from their waists to store those four Mirage Demons, then continued to other spots, casting their nets.

Jiang Yuebai was stunned, rushing like the wind out the window, standing on the rooftop, how blatantly they captured Mirage Demons—would the Mirage Demon Old Demon Lord ignore?

If ignoring—good! Ignore, that’s great!

Her chance to escape the Mirage Demon territory was here!

Jiang Yuebai glanced at the Fire Qilin in the courtyard, unsure if it knew what was happening outside, anyways, it just stayed there sleeping.

Jiang Yuebai took out things collected from the bookshelf below, carefully storing them in her body’s storage place, with a method akin to the Humans’ lost ”Sleeve Universe.”

Jiang Yuebai stealthily slipped away from the rear of the lakeside pavilion, sneaking through layers of Great Arrays towards the position of those two Sword Demons on the Mirage Demon Sea.

Based on her experience fleeing multiple times recently, the Fire Qilin wasn’t always monitoring her, but likely left some talisman or mark on her.

As long as she had that talisman or mark and distanced herself beyond certain limits from the Fire Qilin, it would awaken and come to catch her.

If she remained within the safe area, no matter what she did, unless the Fire Qilin was awake, it wouldn’t detect her.

Racing to the Mirage Demon Sea, Jiang Yuebai transformed into human form, eyes sharp, lips slightly smiling, like a swift wind directly towards the two Sword Demons capturing the Mirage Demons.

When the two Sword Demons became alert and turned, they saw a black figure rising from the sea, reaching out with a palm towards them both!

A soft, weak palm, devoid of any aura, lightly printed on one Sword Demon, just as he was about to mock Jiang Yuebai, a colossal force struck fiercely at his most solid demon heart.

Boom!

The demon heart instantly crumbled into powder, yet remained in its original spherical shape, the Sword Demon swiftly dissipating inwardly into powder and smoke, absorbed entirely by the enormous suction from Jiang Yuebai’s palm, leaving no trace.

The entire process, completely silent.

For the other Sword Demon, his companion was simply touched by Jiang Yuebai, then shattered into dust more refined than sand, evenly dispersed, only to be absorbed clean by Jiang Yuebai’s hand in a mere instant, vanishing completely!

This Mirage Demon?!

When did Mirage Demons become so formidable?!

”Why aren’t you calling for help yet?”

Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brow, softly questioning, then hiccuped, as expected, the Sword Demon’s demon heart was more solidly filling, though swallowing it scratched her throat, not tasty.

Only then did the remaining Sword Demon react, decisively crushing a black round bead, the bead’s demonic qi swiftly shot like an arrow towards the outer boundary of the Mirage Demon’s territory.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai chuckled, ”Thanks a lot!”

Boom!

A palm strike swift as wind, the other Sword Demon was not at Jiang Yuebai’s level, unable to withstand her bizarre movement technique and cunning palm path.

After silently swallowing the two Sword Demons, Jiang Yuebai quickly scattered the Fire Qilin mane she’d collected strand by strand over the Sword Demons’ black bag for capturing Mirage Demons, then dove into the Mirage Demon Sea.

Soon, a group of Sword Demons appeared aggressively from afar, over twenty strong, led by three imposing War Generals clad in battle armor, all were late-stage Primordial Demon Generals.

Upon inspecting the scene, they immediately spotted the fiery mane on the black bag, collectively raising their heads, glaring towards Mirror Lake Island.

The three Primordial Demon Generals exchanged looks, one crushed another black sphere calling for reinforcements, then led the group of Sword Demons charging towards Mirror Lake Island.

Capturing Mirage Demons was frontline Demon Army’s need, a military order, and the two Sword Demons were Demon Clan soldiers.

While the Demon Clan’s tradition respects strength, permitting mutual devouring, during battles, all participating Demon Army soldiers received protection orders, indiscriminately killing Demon Clan soldiers was a grave offense!

That Fire Qilin, being of the Demon Clan, rampaging in Demon Clan’s territory, unforgivable!

While the group of Sword Demons stormed Mirror Lake Island, Jiang Yuebai surfaced from the sea, snickered mischievously, and sped towards freedom without looking back.

Brother, I’m coming to find you!

Unbeknownst to her, the mess she’d stirred arrived before her at Shen Mingjing’s doorstep!
