Chapter 237: Exile

“It seems that the two junior brothers have found their recent cultivation boring and lack the motivation to elevate their realms, which is why they’re concerned with such trivial matters.”

“In that case, why don’t the two of you go train at the border between the mainland and the demon region?”

“Eldest Senior Sister, this is not…”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou still wanted to resist, but Eldest Senior Sister, without any explanation, grabbed the collars of the two, lifting them like two little rabbits, and casually threw them.

The two only felt the scenery change before their eyes, and then they were in the air, flying southward at an extremely terrifying speed, or rather, being thrown southward.

The scenery around them changed so quickly that they couldn’t calculate their current speed, only seeing occasional flying boats passing by in a flash, or powerful figures flying by, also in a flash. These passersby were left bewildered, secretly guessing what cultivation level these two figures had reached to fly at such an astonishing speed. Thud–

The two landed, falling head over heels, heads to the ground, feet in the air, entangled in tree vines.

“I feel like my body is about to fall apart.” Lu Yang grimaced, standing up, his body aching as if it had been disassembled and reassembled.

“Where is this place?” Meng Jingzhou looked around. He saw that the place was dense with jungle, with many rare plants nearby, and extremely humid.

“Didn’t Eldest Senior Sister say she wanted us to train at the border with the demon region? This is probably the border with the demon region.”

Lu Yang pointed out the local specialties: “Look, this is a rarely seen plant on the mainland. This is money flower, this is floating cloud grass, this is evergreen wood, this is a snake demon whose cultivation level we can’t discern… huh?”

Several snake demons with dark green bodies and triangular heads appeared within their sight, hissing as they rapidly slithered towards them.

“Run quickly!”

The two couldn’t discern the cultivation levels of the snake demons, so they didn’t dare to be careless. They broke free from the vines, did a flip, and started running.

This group of snake demons looked like trouble at first glance. They weren’t afraid if the snake demons were at the foundation establishment stage, but they were afraid that they might be above that stage.

“Little brothers, don’t run, come and play with us sisters,” the snake demons said in seductive voices, tinged with charm.

“Sisters will make you feel heavenly~”

“Come play~”

The two looked back and saw the snake demons transforming into human shapes, looking alluring and pitiful, dressed skimpily, clearly not from decent families.

“No, no, you are too ugly,” Meng Jingzhou politely declined.

The snake demons were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then flew into a rage, chasing faster.

Fortunately, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were not amateurs. When it came to escaping, they feared no one, their legs moving rapidly.

Unfortunately, misfortune struck again, and the two fell into a swamp due to a moment’s inattention.

Seeing the snake demons about to catch up, Lu Yang gritted his teeth, “This won’t do. Let’s use the Shrinking Earth Into Inches technique to escape.”

“What about me?”

“Stand still, Drawing Prison From the Ground!” Lu Yang quickly drew a circle around Meng Jingzhou. Before Meng Jingzhou could react, he found himself in a prison.

Lu Yang used the Shrinking Earth Into Inches technique, pushing the prison and the prisoner Meng Jingzhou as he ran. “These two techniques can be used together?”

The snake demons were stunned, not understanding what had just happened. When they spread their divine sense to search for the two, they had already run out of range, leaving no trace.

“Are we that scary?” The snake demons looked at each other. They wanted to use their bodies to earn some spirit stones on the human side but didn’t expect humans to have such strong willpower, running away at the sight of them.

More ridiculously, when the snake demons said they could have fun with their bodies, their targets ran even faster.

These snake demons belonged to The Azure Sky Green Snake Clan, known for such activities in the demon region. Now, they wanted to expand their business among humans, but not a single deal had been successful.

“Shouldn’t we apply for jobs at human brothels instead of engaging in wild encounters here? I’ve heard many sisters do that,” one sister asked.

“Didn’t they say humans also like playing outdoors? Plus, there’s no tax in the wild.”

“I don’t get it…”

Meanwhile, Lu Yang was still pushing Meng Jingzhou while running, their feet moving as swiftly as fish.

“Is it almost over?” “We should have escaped by now.”

The two popped their heads out of the ground, only to see the foot of a giant elephant stepping towards them. Behind it was a herd of elephants, their eyes blood-red, and tusks over three meters long, clearly not to be trifled with.

Lu Yang hurriedly pulled himself and Meng Jingzhou back underground.

They poked their heads out again, only to find a beast that looked like a mix between a tiger and a leopard feasting on a deer demon’s corpse.

The two men and the beast stared at each other for a moment, then the beast roared, and the two men once again fled underground.

Finally, they successfully emerged from the ground, leaning on crutches, not knowing what other hardships they had faced.

“This isn’t training; this is basically ex…” Meng Jingzhou’s last word, “exile” was cut off by Lu Yang.

“Don’t say such things! This is training given to us by Eldest Senior Sister!” Lu Yang, more vigilant than Meng Jingzhou, worried that Eldest Senior Sister might have ways to monitor their situation, frantically gave Meng Jingzhou looks.

Fearing Meng Jingzhou would anger Eldest Senior Sister, resulting in more punishment for both of them.

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized and quickly corrected himself, “Ex… examining our unstable cultivation level, making us fight here to seek breakthroughs!”

“Where should we go? We can’t stay here forever,” Lu Yang said, trudging along with great difficulty.

“Don’t worry, since this is the border between the Central Mainland and the demon region, there must be a large city nearby! I heard from my family that the Great Xia Dynasty has established six cities here to guard against the demon clan. One of my uncles is stationed in one of these cities!”

“What’s that on your arm?” Lu Yang noticed a small black worm wriggling on Meng Jingzhou’s arm, thick at the head and thin at the tail, not knowing when it had crawled up.

“It’s a leech!” Meng Jingzhou panicked and shook his arm, but the leech stuck to his arm and wouldn’t come off.

“Don’t panic. I heard these things are afraid of fire. Watch me burn it off! Pah!” Lu Yang spat out a small flame, barely touching the leech, but it was enough to burn it to death and make it release its grip, falling off the arm.

They had kept their divine senses active the entire time but had only been on guard against large beasts, never expecting even the insects in this place needed caution.

The leech couldn’t break through Meng Jingzhou’s defenses, but having been pampered all his life, he couldn’t physiologically handle it.

After diving into monster nests seven times, being besieged by monsters five times, fighting monsters four times, and crawling out of a monster’s belly once, they finally emerged from the dense forest and saw a human-built city.

They looked disheveled, limping, with beast saliva still stuck to their hair.

The three large characters “Demon Suppression Pass” on the city tower shone brightly, emitting an inexplicable pressure that gave the two a sense of relief.
