Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1757 - 408: Acquiring the Divine Melt God Pill, Advancing to the Melt God Realm

Though the Demon Slayer Monk's words were disrespectful and certainly warranted punishment, they did not provide grounds for the Six Great Sects to intervene directly.

Should they act now, they could later claim it was an impulsive act born of anger, leaving the court with no basis for reprisal.

However, if they were to pursue him at this moment, the situation would be drastically different. Such a pursuit would be seen as a deliberate act of defiance against the court, an insult to its authority. When questioned later, they would find themselves in a precarious position, struggling to offer a coherent defense.

While the relationship between the court and the Six Great Sects was, as the Demon Slayer Monk aptly put it, a symbiotic exploitation where neither truly considered the other a genuine ally, appearances had to be maintained.

These nuances were understood among themselves, but outward perceptions could not reflect this reality.

Otherwise, what would distinguish them from the Demon Slayer Monk himself?

Consequently, neither Song Yuanqiao nor Master Kong Wen were rash individuals. They recognized the perils of pursuit and thus made the prudent decision to restrain Master Jue Mie.

Despite Chen Jiusi's deep connections with them, they could not jeopardize the centuries-old foundation of their sects for a single individual, Chen Jiusi.

Master Jue Mie, though eager to assist, was calmed by the counsel of the two. A bitter expression settled on her face, her complexion darkening; the Demon Slayer Monk's venomous words had almost consumed her with rage.

Master Jue Mie held her reputation in the highest regard, yet the Demon Slayer Monk relentlessly attacked her pride, treating her dignity as if it were mere refuse.

To be called an old nun pining for youth – upon hearing this, Master Jue Mie could barely contain her murderous intent.

How could her unblemished reputation as the Emei Sect Leader be so infamously defiled?

The elder nun's face contorted with fury, her eyebrows drawing together. If she possessed the power to defeat the Demon Slayer Monk, she would have defiantly broken ties with the court to eliminate him.

But she was not his match.

His speech was vile, yet his martial prowess was undeniably of the highest caliber, perhaps the very reason for his continued survival. With such a foul tongue, if he hadn't been beaten to death, he must possess either extraordinary skill or a resilience akin to that of a demon!

He had to possess at least one of these attributes, or he would never have endured for so long.

Watching the Demon Slayer Monk's receding form, Master Jue Mie stomped her foot forcefully, reluctantly abandoning her quest for vengeance.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie was desperately navigating the dense forest, profoundly thankful to Master Jue Mie and the others. Their engagement with the Demon Slayer Monk had presented him with the perfect opportunity to escape. He genuinely valued their intervention, as without Master Jue Mie and the others holding back the Demon Slayer Monk, Chen Jie would not have been able to flee with the Little Ming King.

Considering Chen Jie's current abilities, augmented by the mysterious Qiankun Great Method, he possessed the capacity to elude even the Demon Slayer Monk.

However, escaping while escorting the Little Ming King presented a significant challenge, but the timely intervention by Master Jue Mie, followed by the actions of Master Kong Wen and Song Yuanqiao, proved instrumental for him.

Even their temporary delay of the Demon Slayer Monk had been sufficient.

It was crucial to comprehend that striking the Emperor's personal guards, the Qincha Eight Guards, carried immense risks and could easily be interpreted as an act of rebellion.

Yet, they had acted nonetheless, seizing upon the Demon Slayer Monk's offensive language as a pretext, though it was merely a flimsy excuse that the court might not even acknowledge.

Still, their actions had bought Chen Jie invaluable time.

Chen Jie would forever remember this unexpected kindness.

Now, Chen Jie fled with great urgency alongside the Little Ming King, who felt on the verge of expelling his yesterday's meal.

"Chen, Chen Shaohua, where are we running to? I... I feel like I'm going to vomit."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie quickly responded, "Don't vomit; if you hurl here, it will leave a trace. Be cautious, lest the monk tracks us using these remnants."

Ugh!

Heeding Chen Jie's warning, the Little Ming King, who had been on the brink of sickness, managed to swallow his bile with considerable effort, enduring intense discomfort. He looked at Chen Jie and inquired, "Where are we heading?"

Chen Jie replied, "Ming King Hall!"

The Little Ming King questioned, "Why go there now? Shouldn't we be descending the mountain posthaste?"

"Fleeing down the mountain? The court's forces are entrenched all around. Can the two of us possibly contend against ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even those Heavenly List experts?"

The Little Ming King persisted, "But why proceed to Ming King Hall?"

Chen Jie elaborated, "There is a hidden passage within its compound, and it stands as the most heavily fortified location on Bright Peak. To survive, we must make our way there!"

Understanding dawned upon the Little Ming King, and he immediately exclaimed, "Yes, yes! You've mastered the Qiankun Great Method; you can activate the secret passage. We can conceal ourselves within it, right, inside it!"

Listening to the Little Ming King's exultant tone, Chen Jie cautioned, "Alright, alright, cease your shouting. Take deep breaths; you're putting on too much weight."

Initially stunned by the order, the Little Ming King swiftly regained his composure, focusing on his breathing as instructed, confronting the dire situation of life and death.

The Little Ming King displayed an uncharacteristic obedience.

While the Little Ming King's weight was not usually a concern for Chen Jie, they were currently being pursued by a top-tier expert from the Melt God Realm. Confronting such an overwhelmingly powerful adversary left Chen Jie no room for even a second's delay; he had to flee with all haste. Any lag would force him into a direct confrontation.

At present, facing the Demon Slayer Monk offered Chen Jie virtually no possibility of victory. Conversely, defeating the monk would not be simple either, unless they were drawn into a fierce battle.

However, Chen Jie had already made his decision: should the Demon Slayer Monk manage to catch up, Chen Jie would apologize to the Little Ming King and then abandon him to ensure his own survival!

Chen Jie refused to gamble with his life for the Little Ming King. Despite the considerable importance of the Little Ming King to the rebel army, Chen Jie was determined to sacrifice the boy for his own preservation. He was not yet prepared to perish for another.
