Shen Qingyue and Xuanjizi were startled, and they instinctively followed Chen Li's gaze, but saw nothing.
"Where is everyone?" Shen Qingyue asked in confusion.
Chen Li pointed towards the drifting direction of the Wraiths and said in a low voice, "Right there. The Wraiths seemed to be guiding us just now."
Xuanjizi focused intently and finally spotted two indistinct figures in the dark corner. The aura emanating from them was eerie, sending chills down his spine. Terrifying memories of death flooded back into his mind.
His expression changed immediately; he sensed that these two had a strange presence and were likely not ordinary demons.
Under their reminders, Shen Qingyue finally noticed the demons lurking in the shadows, her small face darkening.
How sinister! They are hiding in the dark, waiting to catch us off guard!
Chen Li nodded slightly, signaling Shen Qingyue and Xuanjizi to remain vigilant. He silently channeled his inner spiritual energy, completely concealing his presence, moving closer to the two shadowy figures like a ghost.
The two shadows seemed oblivious to Chen Li's approach, standing still as if they were statues.
As Chen Li drew nearer, he finally got a clear look at them. One of them had a gaunt face resembling a skeleton, with deep-set eyes that glimmered with an eerie green light, reminiscent of a hellish demon. The other was rotund with a broad face and small triangular eyes that darted around, exuding an unsettling aura of malevolence.
"Hehehe."
The skeletal demon let out a low, chilling laugh that echoed like an owl's hoot in the night, sending shivers down one's spine.
"The Soul Altar is about to be completed. Once the Blood Sacrifice King returns, our Blood Fiend Sect will rise again and dominate the entire Qian Sheng Empire!"
The rotund figure spoke in a hoarse voice, chuckling softly.
"Unfortunately, there aren't enough souls and flesh from those alchemists; it's simply insufficient for the Blood Sacrifice King to regain his strength. Otherwise, we could leave this cursed place and enjoy ourselves in the territories occupied by those humans!"
He licked his lips, a glimmer of greedy longing flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't rush. With that human female alchemist, as long as we find another soul of the same quality, our altar's power will be fully activated. At that time, when the Blood Sacrifice King reappears in this world, what do we have to worry about for our future?"
The skeletal demon's eyes sparkled as if envisioning a beautiful future ahead.
Chen Li held his breath, listening to the two demons boast about their so-called grand ambitions, a cold smile creeping across his face.
These two fools were truly arrogant, believing that the mere Blood Fiend Sect could dominate the entire Qian Sheng Empire? They should take a good look in the mirror and reflect on their own worth! Even your Ancestor wouldn't be able to help you! Had they forgotten how they ended up here?
While the two demons were lost in their delusions, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances, both seeing a glimmer of mockery in each other's eyes.
The time had come!
The two of them made a gesture to Xuanjizi to retreat and then approached the two demons directly. Chen Li raised his arm and gently patted the shoulder of the skeletal demon, asking in a childish voice, "Excuse me, are you two from the Blood Fiend Sect?"
Shen Qingyue mimicked Chen Li, patting the Fat-Eared Demon’s shoulder and innocently inquiring, "Are you powerful, seniors?"
The two demons, immersed in their fantasies, were startled by the interruption and turned around in a panic. To their surprise, they found two children standing behind them, looking about eight or nine years old.
They were momentarily taken aback, curiosity flashing in their eyes.
Upon hearing the children's naive questions, excitement erupted uncontrollably within them.
Oh yeah! Did the gods hear our prayers?
The skeletal demon looked at his companion with delight and communicated silently.
Perhaps. Who would have thought that heaven would be so generous to us, sending us two little rabbits?
The Fat-Eared Demon rubbed his hands together, a greedy smile spreading across his chubby face as he envisioned Chen Li and Shen Qingyue as sacrificial offerings for their rituals.
Hehe, these little rabbits have decent soul power! We’re going to hit the jackpot! When Blood Fiend King returns, we will surely be rewarded as top contributors!
The skeletal demon grinned sinisterly at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, scrutinizing them with keen eyes.
Unbeknownst to him, the seemingly innocent Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged another glance, both unable to contain their own excitement.
Oh yeah! The fish has taken the bait!
In perfect unison, they silently cheered within themselves.
The skeletal claws of the skeletal demon were as thin as twigs, exuding a chilling aura as they reached for Chen Li. Meanwhile, the fat-headed, big-eared demon with triangular eyes greedily rubbed its hands together, its thick lips curling into a nauseating grin as it lunged toward Shen Qingyue.
From behind the bushes in the distance, Xuanjizi's expression changed drastically. He formed a hand seal, ready to rush out. These two demons were no pushovers; if these children fell into their hands, it could spell disaster!
Just as he was about to make a move, he caught a glance from Chen Li. There was no trace of fear in that gaze; instead, it held a hint of cunning. Chen Li's lips moved, clearly signaling him not to act rashly.
Xuanjizi's heart jolted. He forcefully suppressed the surging spiritual energy within him. These two little ones were quite clever; although he felt some concern, he also feared disrupting their plan. So, he decided to trust them this time and observe the situation before taking action.
Chen Li was lifted by the skeletal demon as if he were a small chick. There was no panic in his eyes; instead, he feigned fear, pouting his lips and speaking in a whiny tone: "Seniors, please don’t grab us! Do you want medicine? I can give it to you!"
As he spoke, Chen Li pulled out two crystal-clear pills radiating strong waves of Spiritual Energy—his previously concocted Ning Ling. These two Ning Ling were of excellent quality, carefully selected by him. He was confident that the demons would take the bait.
The two demons had initially thought they had captured just two ordinary human children, but they were taken aback when this boy casually produced such high-quality medicine. Was this not a gift from heaven?
The triangular-eyed demon snatched the Ning Ling from Chen Li's hands and sniffed it under its nose. Its eyes lit up with excitement at the rich Spiritual Energy! "Kid, are you an alchemist?"
Chen Li blinked his big eyes and pretended to be innocent as he nodded: "Yes! I can make lots of medicine, even better than this!"
The two demons exchanged glances, their greed intensifying to the point where they could hardly contain their laughter. An alchemist! It was truly a stroke of luck to find one without even trying!
