Chapter 531: Just A Little More!
Mental demons are the downfall of a cultivator. This information was known to every cultivator in the world.
Mental demons are the embodiment of the dark emotions of a cultivator. Once born, they stay hidden inside the person and feed on their negative emotions and feelings to grow stronger. The stronger the feeling, the more powerful the mental demon becomes.
As they grow stronger, mental demons tend to influence these emotions to grow, making the person lose their mind.
Later on, they try to influence the person directly, making them fall to their temptations. If a person falls to their temptation, they would gain a surreal boost in their power.
But...
Everything comes at a cost!
Long Xiang, who was tempted by the power offered to him at the most desperate moment, accepted the power without thinking at all.
Then, he paid the price as well!
After leaving the prison, Long Xiang killed his way out of the city. His cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, showed signs of a breakthrough.
By the time Long Xiang left the city, his cultivation had reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
His mind was clouded by unrestrained killing intent. Influenced by the exhilaration of the sudden increase in his power, Long Xiang wanted to kill anything that hindered his path.
Negative emotions of the demon acted along with his wishes. Long Xiang killed anyone, be it a child or adult, cripple, or the person teasing them with their dark humor.
"The city lord has ordered the man to be killed on sight!"
Seeing Long Xiang fleeing the city, the guards shouted while chasing after him.
The whole city shook as several deep, powerful auras could be felt moving from the depths of the city.
...
His bounty had currently risen to a staggering 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Even the sect masters of each sect were tempted to make a move on him.

’Have you forgotten that they are not the only empire, and besides, there are still places that would be willing to take you in?’
Long Xiang’s eyes shook hearing those words as he immediately understood what those places were.
"You mean the demonic sects?"
’What are you still hesitant about? There is no other place in the world that would allow you to grow like them.’ Sensing his hesitation, the mental demon scoffed before continuing to influence the man.
"I will join them, no matter what it takes. I will make the whole world kneel before me–" With eyes blazing with killing intent and determination, Long Xiang slowly rose from his squatting position only to freeze in the middle. He felt something instill fear in his heart.
"Neigghhh!" Long Xiang’s body exploded with sinister qi, slaughtering the horse that was trying to sneak up on his back.
"Everyone, he is hiding in that stable! I just sensed his aura there!!" Hearing the shouts from a distance, Long Xiang did not dare to delay any longer and left the area without caring about the weird sensation on his back.
And thus continued the game of cat and mouse. Only Long Xiang himself knew how he managed to reach the boundary between the Tian Ren Empire and the Feng Empire!
’Just a little more! I can finally escape this hell!’ Long Xiang muttered to himself, using every ounce of his will to escape while hiding his aura.
"Everyone scatter! Search for him! Don’t let him get away from us!!" He could even hear the shouts from tens of miles away, but the distance did not make him feel any better but instead made him feel on edge.
As if a knife was hanging over his head, ready to drop at any time.
At a time like this, he felt that his previous life was way better than his current one. At this moment, his life was nothing but a bad dream that he wanted to wake up from as soon as possible.
’That’s the border! After I cross, they won’t be able to chase after me. Unlike me, they are affiliated with the empire and cannot cross easily.’
