The First Demon of the Chan Sect

In the lowermost level, Daron, who was locked in battle with Li Qingming, instantly turned pale and desperately tried to flee the battlefield.

But would Li Qingming give him the chance? Obviously not!

Li Qingming's entire body's Yuqing True Essence surged, and his powerful aura raised his long hair as if a God Demon had descended.

One spear thrust!

A purple ethereal light flashed by, just a single thrust!

The sound of clashing echoed through Heaven and Earth, bright golden armor shattered, blood sprayed, and a miserable scream arose, sending shivers down the spines of those at the top of the Pyramid.

Li Qingming's purple long spear thoroughly pierced through Daron, lifting him high and throwing him into mid-air, drenched in blood! The once arrogant and wildly boastful Count Daron struggled a few times on the Bitter Bamboo Spear before meeting his demise.

This scene caused everyone, whether high above or lurking nearby watching, to have chills down their spines and their hearts split with fear!

Such a casually thrown spear, so plain and unadorned, yet it was this return to simplicity that completely killed a Great Power who had stepped into the Sub-Saint Realm!

Li Qingming retracted his long spear, and the ethereal Bitter Bamboo Spear, surprisingly, did not have a single drop of blood on it, everything seemed unnaturally natural.

The middle-aged man in a white lab coat, who had just awakened and come to the first level to find Daron, saw this scene and turned pale as paper, frantically retreating to the second level, his eyes full of terror.

Li Qingming seemed to sense something, glanced at the junction between the first and second levels, then turned his head and scanned the hundred-yard radius of the first level.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he walked toward a small box in the northeast corner.

The small box was about the size of a palm, resembling a small surveillance device he had seen in his previous life, firmly affixed to the metal outer wall.

Li Qingming held the spear in one hand and pointed it at the small box.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, he stopped the spear tip in front of the small box and said, "I know through this thing, you can clearly see the situation on the first level. Now I'll give you two choices: either come down obediently and give me a detailed introduction of the Technology Mysterious City and the reason you captured me; or I'll come up now and lock you all in these cages! You have half an hour to think it over."

…

At the top level of the Pyramid.

The Prince's face, with a sickly pallor, looked at the other few subordinates with equally ugly expressions, and said, "Well, my dear fellows. I admit I underestimated this barbaric, ruthless, and formidable native! Now let's discuss how we might drive him out of our warship. Or, to put it another way, how we might severely injure him and bring him back to the Technology Mysterious City!"

Svik was the first to stand up, saying, "Your Highness, I suggest driving him out! He's too powerful, we would need to deploy the Holy War Mecha to seriously injure him!"

"No, my dear Count Svik!" the beautiful woman sitting at the far left of the table slapped the table and said, "Your Highness, I believe he has a weakness. As long as we find his weakness, we can keep him on the warship."

"Weakness?" the Prince was startled and said, "No, no, no, beautiful Miss Eliza! This rude native has no weaknesses! He's strong, crude, and ruthless!"

"Your, Your Highness! P-perhaps… we still have… one last… method!"

Eliza bit her cherry lips about to say something more when a slightly timid voice came from the top level entrance.

"Oh? What method!" Hearing this voice, the Prince was startled and looked past Eliza towards the entrance.

He saw the middle-aged man in a white lab coat, standing trembling at the door, his expression uncertain.

Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man in the white lab coat, the Prince smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, "Ah Baron Leo! Don't be nervous, come sit here. What did you mean by this last method?"

Leo composed himself and said, "Your Highness! Between the first and second levels of our warship, there is an isolated interspace layer. Originally, it was meant as a testing ground to assess the strength of experimental subjects. However, it has been blessed by the great Holy Master, so no matter how strong the attack, it will remain unharmed! So…"

Svik suddenly asked, "I apologize for interrupting! If the native is so formidable, how do we confine him inside the testing ground?"

Leo touched his head and said, "On the ground of the first level, there are teleportation runes. As long as the runes are activated, he will be transported to the testing ground!"

The Prince, hearing this, clapped excitedly and laughed, "My dear Baron Leo, if we can get through this difficult time, I will recommend you to the Elder Council, and your title will certainly be elevated!"

Leo, sincerely frightened, knelt down on one knee, his right hand on his chest, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Then, go and transport him over!" The Prince personally helped Leo up and spoke gently.

Leo once again bowed and hastily walked down.

...

At the first level within the Pyramid, Li Qingming was meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly noticed many runes appearing on the ground beneath him. They flickered wildly and moved like swimming fish.

Li Qingming leaped to his feet, looking down at the flickering runes and muttered, "It seems these fellows are not willing to give up! Trying to use the Teleportation Rune to send me off somewhere else! Very well, I want to see what kind of tricks you are truly playing!"

As the runes shimmered faster and faster, Li Qingming felt the enormous metal hall on this floor begin to shake violently, as Tao Runes densely filled the entire space.

"Shua!"

Just like that, everything on the first level vanished into thin air.

When Li Qingming opened his eyes again, he and those cages had arrived in another place.

Compared to the orderly first level, this place resembled a vast, empty laboratory. Three walls were made of bizarre metallic exteriors, while the remaining wall was crafted from a crystalline translucent strange material.

Through the wall, various scientific instruments outside were clearly visible.

Li Qingming finally got a taste of the mysterious allure of Technology Mysterious City. The three metallic exterior walls were covered with Tao Runes, while the outer world displayed various precise instruments. This peculiar scene, like a hybrid of cultivation and technology, felt quite inappropriate.

"Bang!"

Li Qingming once again tried to break the metallic exterior of this place.

As he gathered massive energy and punched down, the metallic wall emitted a strong Saintly Pressure, although rudimentary, it was sufficient to suppress Li Qingming's attack.

"Eh? Saintly Pressure?" Li Qingming looked at the spot he just punched and laughed, "It seems Technology Mysterious City has many Saints! To think they would set up runes for just an ordinary spacecraft, quite unthinkable indeed!"

"Hahaha, native, don't even think about getting out!" The Prince and his subjects all stood outside, their eyes shimmering with an inexplicable desire.

"Are you guys allied with Count Daron?" Li Qingming seemed to have asked a very foolish question.

"Daron?" The Prince paused, his handsome eyebrows lifted slightly, "How can that trash compare with me, Prince Sangla? Native, remember my name! I am Sangla St. Douglas! I believe soon your blood will flow through my body! Hahaha..."

"My blood?" Li Qingming frowned and said: "You want to drink blood, are you a f****** vampire? Such perversion, does your mom know about this?"

"Eh?" Prince Sangla's expression paused, his face suddenly twisted fiercely, and he fiercely tapped the crystalline wall with his staff, "Leo, his mouth is too foul! Make him shut up!"

"Of course, my respected Prince!" Leo, previously a pure researcher, seemed awakened by that sword from Daron and wanted to climb higher, so now, the only thing he could do was to cling tightly to Prince Sangla's thick thigh.

He respectfully bowed to Prince Sangla, a faint, daluo immortal-level Primordial Power emanating from him, then suddenly plugged something into a slot resembling a game card.

"Boom!"

In an instant, thunder and lightning intertwined, terrifying golden lightning burst out from the bizarre runes, ear-splitting and filling the area with flashes of electricity, covering the entire test field like a vast ocean.

"Heavenly Tribulation? Humph!" Li Qingming disdainfully looked up at the sky and with a casual motion swept over two hundred cages to one side. He then pointed a finger above his head, and the archaic and sturdy Qiankun Tripod suddenly appeared, casting down patches of blue light, securely protecting him.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning struck down like fierce dragons towards Li Qingming.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned; Li Qingming, standing there with the Qiankun Tripod above his head, allowed the lightning to strike him.

The terrifying lightning struck as if meeting its nemesis; it couldn't get close to him at all. Just as it reached above Li Qingming, it was absorbed by the Qiankun Tripod.

"What Holy Artifact is that above his head? It's so powerful! We must make him yield it, we must!" Prince Sangla's eyes glowed fervently, flickering with greedy divine light.

He originally wanted Li Qingming to shut up, but the unexpected surprise was even better!

"Leo! Usually, how do you test the strength of experimental subjects?" Svik caught the hint in Sangla's eyes and asked very tactfully.

"Count, this space is solid enough. We usually activate the Killing Array left by the Holy Master, then observe whether the subject defends or attacks. This helps us gauge the strength of the subject!" Leo wasn't stupid; he also heard the hidden meaning in Sangla's words.

"Then, let's start!" Svik smiled and nodded at Leo. That smile carried a trace of bloodlust.

Leo, inherently cruel, also smiled, then gently pulled a red lever saying, "As you wish!" (To be continued.
