Chapter 339: What is Happening?

The cultivation levels of these demon tribe members were not very strong; the strongest among them only reached the Profound Immortal realm, which was not impressive for Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun reached out and activated a powerful restriction, quickly targeting the four demon tribe members disguised as people of the Human Race in the crowd.

Whoosh!

As Li Xiaojun suddenly took action, chaos erupted at the scene.

Sensing Li Xiaojun’s powerful pressure from the Golden Immortal Realm, everyone quickly fled in all directions.

Faced with the attack of a Golden Immortal powerhouse, everyone had only one thought: to escape as quickly as possible.

As for the four demon tribe members being suppressed by Li Xiaojun, their faces changed dramatically as they felt the overwhelming pressure closing in on them.

“Senior, what are you doing?” the demon from the Profound Immortal realm shouted anxiously to Li Xiaojun.

At the same time, it desperately released its immortal essence to resist.

Indeed, this demon was actually using immortal essence.

Seeing this, Li Xiaojun was surprised; his divine sense could sense that the demon’s dantian was filled with magic essence, but as they cast spells, they were producing immortal essence.

Soon, Li Xiaojun had bound the demons with restrictions.

Although the demons struggled with all their might, they were no different from ants in the hands of Li Xiaojun, a mid-Golden Immortal.

Li Xiaojun did not kill these demons immediately because he wanted to know why they were releasing immortal essence.

“Demon tribe, why are you using immortal essence?” Li Xiaojun demanded after seizing the demon from the Profound Immortal realm.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, the demon was shocked, but its face showed great grievance.

“Senior, you must be mistaken; we are not from the demon tribe,” it transmitted to Li Xiaojun.

At this moment, many of the fleeing people noticed that the Golden Immortal was only controlling four individuals, clearly not targeting them, so many began to stop and watch.

“Isn’t that the family head of the Shui family? The others are also from the Shui family. Does this senior have a grudge against them?”

Quickly, some recognized the individuals being restrained by Li Xiaojun.

“The ancestor of the Shui family is also a powerhouse in the Golden Immortal Realm, right? If this senior has captured these Shui family members, it will certainly alert the ancestor of the Shui family, and there might soon be a battle of Golden Immortals here…”

On the other side, seeing Li Xiaojun capture several people in an instant, Li Bai was surprised and transmitted to him, “Dad, why are you grabbing these people?”

“These are spies from the demon tribe planted among the Human Race. They must have come to kill you,” Li Xiaojun replied to Li Bai.

Just moments ago, it was these very individuals who had urged Li Bai to come out of the tower, so they were definitely there to assassinate him.

Li Bai had displayed Da Luo potential, so the demon tribe would do whatever it took to eliminate him, even if it meant significant sacrifice.

The Shui family had hidden so deeply within the Human Race territory, making them crucial spies for the demon tribe.

Now that the demon tribe could no longer contain their important spies, it was naturally because Li Bai’s value far exceeded the value of sacrificing these spies.

If they managed to kill Li Bai, it would mean one less Da Luo Golden Immortal for the future of the Human Race.

Thus, their sacrifice was truly worthwhile.

From the moment they decided to carry out the assassination, they had no intention of surviving, as news of their attempt would soon reveal their identities as spies.

Unfortunately for them, they were unable to kill Li Bai; instead, they were captured by the Human Race’s Golden Immortal ahead of time.

In this situation, wanting to continue assassinating Li Bai was undoubtedly a foolish dream.

…

Li Xiaojun saw that the demon tribe members were stubborn, so he did not waste any more words.

He directly grabbed a demon from the Earth Immortal realm and began to perform Soul Searching on him.

Bang!

However, at the next moment, as Li Xiaojun was conducting Soul Searching, the demon’s head exploded, and its soul instantly dissipated.

“This…”

Li Xiaojun did not expect that these demons had restrictions within their divine sense.

This made things a bit difficult.

“Senior, we are really not from the demon tribe. Please let us go…” the demon from the Profound Immortal realm tried to deceive Li Xiaojun.

But how could Li Xiaojun allow these demons to get away with it?

If they were not from the demon tribe, then how could they explain the magic essence in their dantian?

In the next moment, Li Xiaojun grabbed another demon.

This time, he did not immediately perform Soul Searching on this elite demon; instead, he began to carefully inspect the demon’s body with his divine sense.

He wanted to know why these demons had magic essence in their dantian but were producing immortal essence.

Since Li Xiaojun did not perform Soul Searching, this time the demon’s head did not explode.

Li Xiaojun’s divine sense was very powerful and discreet, thanks to the system. When he scanned the demon, the demon did not notice anything at all.

However, if Li Xiaojun did perform Soul Searching on the demon, it still would have triggered the restrictions in the demon’s sea of souls.

Li Xiaojun meticulously scanned the bodies of several demons with his divine sense.

Soon, he discovered something unusual.

These demons seemed to have a hexagonal transparent gem outside their dantian.

Moreover, there was something wrapping around the gem that could block divine sense detection.

If it were not for Li Xiaojun’s special divine sense, he might not have been able to see it.

Very quickly, Li Xiaojun found that the magic essence from the dantian would transform into immortal essence when led into the hexagonal gem by the demons.

In that moment, Li Xiaojun finally understood why these demons could use immortal essence.

Additionally, the reason these demons could hide so deeply among the Human Race was also due to those hexagonal gems.

Li Xiaojun decided to extract the hexagonal gems from these demons and see if they could still use immortal essence.

Just as Li Xiaojun prepared to act, a loud shout suddenly rang out: “Who dares to harm my Shui family members?”

As he spoke, he almost instantaneously arrived at the plaza outside the Heart-Seeking Tower, facing Li Xiaojun head-on.

“Who are you? Why are you harming my Shui family members?”

Li Xiaojun did not answer; instead, he quickly scanned the person in front of him with his divine sense.

Soon, Li Xiaojun gathered the information.

The person in front was also from the demon tribe and was in the early Golden Immortal realm; there was also a hexagonal gem outside his dantian capable of converting magic essence into immortal essence.

Moreover, the hexagonal gem of this Golden Immortal demon was much larger than those of the Profound Immortal and True Immortal demons.

“Friend Li, what is going on here?”

Just as the ancestor of the Shui family arrived, the ancestor of the Mu Xing family, Mu Xingran, along with the ancestor of the Mo family and the Golden Immortal ancestors of other major families in the city, also arrived.

“Mu Xingran, this person captured my Shui family members without cause and even killed one! You must seek justice for my Shui family…”

Seeing Mu Xingran’s arrival, the ancestral figure of the Shui family quickly complained to him.

He was in the early Golden Immortal realm and could not possibly defeat Li Xiaojun, who was in the mid-Golden Immortal realm, so he naturally wanted others to help him uphold justice.

He still did not know exactly what had happened; if he knew that Li Xiaojun had already uncovered their identities as demons, he certainly would not be so calm.

Of course, he would not expect Li Xiaojun to discover their identities so easily; if their identities were that easy to detect, the Human Race would have discovered them long ago.

Meanwhile, the demon from the Profound Immortal realm wanted to send a message to the Golden Immortal demon, informing him that Li Xiaojun had already revealed their identities.

However, he was not only physically restrained but also his divine sense was trapped.

“Friend Li, what is going on? Did the descendants of the Shui family offend you?” Mu Xingran asked Li Xiaojun.
