Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer - Chapter 25
Confrontation
Cheng Xu had to ponder for a long time before feeling that something was wrong, “Are you perhaps trying to stall for time?”
Hearing his question, Xu Lu’s expression changed slightly.
“What are you saying, my little cutie? Haven’t I already been captured by you? What could I ever delay you for?” Xu Lu feigned being helpless, but secretly, she was constantly trying to charm Cheng Xu.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the man in front of her was like a block of wood, having no reaction at all.
What she didn’t know was that Cheng Xu’s sea of consciousness’ ‘firewall’ was far beyond ordinary people’s. Not to mention her, an Early Foundation Building cultivator, even a Peak Foundation Building cultivator might not be able to invade Cheng Xu’s sea of consciousness.
‘What a joke! Using seduction to seduce a computer, it would be a miracle if you succeeded.’
“Pack your things and get ready to leave.” Cheng Xu looked at the crowd with a serious expression. “This demoness is probably stalling for time, waiting for help. We can’t stay here for long.”
At his prompting, Wang Xiaolun, Bai Ci’er, and the others also became serious.
“Where are we going?”
“Naturally, we’re returning home.” Cheng Xu laughed. “This demoness must have a high status in the Blood Demon Church. If we’re able to capture such a big fish alive, we’ll definitely be able to complete the mission successfully.”
“Yeah!” Wang Xiaolun and the others’ eyes lit up.
As long as they could bring this demoness back, not only would they be able to complete their mission ahead of time, but they might be able to obtain first place for this first-class mission.
At the thought of this, the group no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to set off.
Wang Xiaolun volunteered to untie Xu Lu from the tree himself and then secured her bindings once again, “Leave the task of escorting this demoness to me.”
“Don’t. Let me do it.” Cheng Xu subtly shook his head, “I’m afraid you’ll fall into her trap.”
“What are you saying? I’ve already suffered once. Are you saying I’ll fall for it a second time?”
“I can’t say for sure. Some things could happen again if it happened the first time. So it’s safer for me to escort her.” Cheng Xu stepped forward and pulled the demoness to his side, “And if she does anything sneaky on the way, I’ll be able to control her with my eye sorcery.”
“I also feel that brother Cheng’s escort is more secure.” Yue Yang said.
At that, Wang Xiaolun could only helplessly hand over this ‘beautiful task’ to Cheng Xu.
And just like that, the group started their escort of the demonic woman back to the sect.
Along the way, Xu Lu’s expression was obviously not good. She looked around from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
“Behave yourself. Otherwise, I might be forced to hang Brother Wang’s underwear over your head, which I don’t recommend.” Cheng Xu naturally noticed Xu Lu’s small movements and reminded her with a cold smile.
“I’d rather it be a certain handsome boy’s underwear,” Xu Lu teased with a smile.
“…” Cheng Xu’s forehead was full of black lines.
Sure enough, in being perverted, it was still the people of the demonic path that was ahead.
“Speaking of which, my little cutie, you’re only at the peak stage of the Qi refining stage but you’re already so powerful! It’s a pity for you to stay in such a small sect like the Medicine Immortal Valley.” On the surface, Xu Lu was trying to poach him, but in fact, she was secretly inquiring about Cheng Xu’s situation.
“If the Medicine Immortal Valley is a small sect, then doesn’t that mean that the Blood Demon Church is even punier?!” Cheng Xu laughed and mocked.
Xu Lu didn’t get angry and continued to tease, “Handsome boy, you haven’t even had a woman yet, right? Why don’t you just submit to this Elder Sister? To tell you the truth, Elder Sister is very interested in you right now.”
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in you.”
“How would you know if you don’t try?” Xu Lu continued to seduce him.
Cheng Xu was too lazy to pay any attention to her and continued to escort her along the way.
Xu Lu didn’t give up though and continued to ask, “By the way, the two spells that little cutie used just now were really powerful. I wonder what kind of inheritance you’ve inherited?”
Cheng Xu continued to ignore her.
Xu Lu had no choice but to give up when she saw how stubborn Cheng Xu was.
Time passed by unknowingly.
Eventually, they were less than 100 miles away from the Heluo Kingdom.
However, Cheng Xu and the others did not dare to relax.
Xu Lu, this demoness, had been talking non-stop along the way.
“Soon, soon! We should be safe once we leave the Heluo Kingdom.” Wang Xiaolun said excitedly as he was leading the way.
However, at that moment, a mysterious smile appeared on Xu Lu’s face. “Handsome, are you sure you don’t want to come to our Blood Demon Church? It’s still not too late to seek shelter now~!”
When Cheng Xu heard this, he immediately became alert and quickly locked his arms around Xu Lu’s neck.
“Not good, I’m afraid that this demoness’ reinforcements have already arrived!”
Wang Xiaolun and the others immediately looked around nervously.
Xu Lu leaned into Cheng Xu’s arms and laughed. “As long as you join my Blood Demon Church, I’ll be yours~ Are you sure you don’t want to consider it?”
“Be honest!”
Cheng Xu’s face darkened and he tightened his arms so much that Xu Lu could not breathe.
At that exact moment, a blood-red light descended from the sky who turned out to be a man with red hair. He had blocked everyone’s way. He was a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator from the demonic way.
After the red-haired man landed, his gaze instantly locked onto Cheng Xu and Xu Lu. He said in a deep voice, “Brat, obediently release the young lady and this old man will give you a quick and painless death!”
“Late-stage Foundation Building.”
Wang Xiaolun and the others took a deep breath, their expressions solemn.
Cheng Xu smiled and tightened his grip on Xu Lu as he tried to read the red-haired man’s data, “I’m afraid you’re mistaken. We should be the ones negotiating with you, right?”
“You think you’re qualified to raise conditions?” The red-haired male sneered in disdain.
Cheng Xu didn’t talk nonsense. He directly borrowed a small sword from Wang Xiaolun and stabbed it into Xu Lu’s collarbone without any hesitation.
Xu Lu writhed in pain, the hatred and humiliation in her eyes growing stronger.
“And now?” Cheng Xu asked, raising an eyebrow.
The red-haired man’s body trembled, and he gritted his teeth in anger, “What a ruthless kid. So what are your conditions? Speak!”
“First, let my companions leave safely.”
“No!” Bai CI’er’s eyes were full of rejection, “What will you do if we leave?”
“As much as I can,” Cheng Xu said calmly, “With this demoness in my hands, he won’t dare to do anything to me.”
“But…” Bai Ci’er and the other two were about to raise more objections but were interrupted by Cheng Xu.
“Stop talking nonsense and just hurry up and leave!”
Under Cheng Xu’s strong request, Bai Ci’er and the others had no choice but to obey.
This was because they knew very well that they were no match for the red-haired man with their strengths. Staying behind would only limit Cheng Xu’s subsequent actions.
“Hold on, Brother Cheng. We’ll call for reinforcements to save you as soon as we get back!”
Wang Xiaolun took a deep look at Cheng Xu, then left with Bai Ci’er and the other two.
After letting them go, the red-haired man looked at Cheng Xu again, “Can you let Miss go now?”
“Don’t worry, as long as my friends are still in danger, you and I will be stuck here for four to five days,” Cheng Xu pursed his lips and smiled.
“…” The red-haired man was furious. Seeing Xu Lu’s weak and injured appearance, he had no choice but to admit defeat. “Fine, but you have to treat the Young Lady first. If anything happens to her, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
“That’s easy. After all, I still need her to save my life.” Cheng Xu chuckled as he took out a few pills and stuffed them into Xu Lu’s mouth.
A moment later, as the medicine took effect, Xu Lu gradually got better.
[Ding! Ding!]
[External data intrusion detected. Intercept?]
The sudden system notification stunned Cheng Xu. He chose to intercept the attack and sneered at the red-haired man. “Sir, it’s better for you to put away your little tricks for now. Otherwise, I don’t mind giving her another stab.”
The red-haired man was shocked. He didn’t expect that a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage could resist his spiritual will technique.
‘Interesting. No wonder the Young Miss fell into your hands.’
“Alright, Ah’Da, this little handsome guy’s sea of consciousness is extremely strong, so don’t waste your energy,” Xu Lu helplessly reminded.
The red-haired man called Ah’Da nodded obediently.
“By the way, where’s Ah’Er? Didn’t he come with you?”
Hearing this, Cheng Xu became alert again.
He had no choice. If another Late-stage Foundation Building devil cultivator came, things might become more difficult.
“Second Brother went to subdue that tree demon a few days ago and hasn’t returned yet. It’s apparently not easy to deal with,” The red-haired man explained.
Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the token of the Blood Demon Church from his storage bag and asked with a smile, “Don’t tell me this ‘Second Brother’ you’re talking about is this person?”
When Xu Lu and the red-haired man saw the token in Cheng Xu’s hand, their eyes narrowed.
“How did you get Ah’Er’s token? You…”
Xu Lu stared at Cheng Xu in disbelief. She had a bad feeling.
“Tsk, tsk. I can only say that this guy’s luck was bad. He fought with that senior tree demon and both sides were injured, and we took advantage of it.” Chen Xu said quite pleased with himself while secretly thinking, ‘Looks like we were fated to meet.’
“…”
Xu Lu and the red-haired man were both bewildered, their expressions were obviously not good.
At the same time, Cheng Xu was finally able to read the red-haired man’s data. He was secretly shocked when he saw the various impressive moves in his repertoire.
In addition, the data obtained by the system wasn’t comprehensive. Cultivators who had reached the Foundation Stage definitely had a lot of magic weapons. Any magic weapon could already kill them all, but this information couldn’t be obtained by the system.
Time passed while they were in this stalemate.
Cheng Xu’s nerves were tense the entire time, not daring to relax in the slightest.
“Young man, I think you are a smart person. Moreover, the Young Lady also admires you. It’s not too late for you to join our Blood Demon Church now. Otherwise, when our army arrives, it will be too late for you to regret then.” The red-haired man tried to persuade Cheng Xu to defect.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xu just ignored him.
“Do you think we’re simply trying to scare you, handsome?” Xu Lu’s eyes were alluring as she smiled.
Cheng Xu replied with a sneer, “What a joke! If you demonic cultivators were so powerful, why haven’t you just taken down our little Southern Heaven yet? Instead, haven’t you been hiding in your little corners all this time?
“Hehe…” Xu Lu laughed and pretended to be mysterious. “It won’t be long before you understand, my little cutie.”
Although Cheng Xu didn’t quite believe her, he could still feel this group of demons and devils complete confidence.
However, he couldn’t understand what the demonic path was planning.
