Outside the closed cave.
Three demonic brothers slightly open they eyes, sensing the breathing in the cave stopped.
"So he is dead. Here I thought we will have a new servant to serve us in this journey." Smirk on his face wasn't even hidden.( Demonic practitioner A)
"Well, what does you expecting from him in the first pce? You even use triple the dose of poison in the first pce, directly cutting the chance of his survival in the first pce. Making he survived for so long is already impressive." The eyes was rolled as another person retort. (Demonic practitioner B)
"What a waste of such a good physical... Now that it's poisoned, we cannot even use nor touch it." A sad face emerges as he thinking all the things he could uses the body for. (Demonic practitioner B)
"We couldn't even sure to defeat him together, much less to kill him. Fortunately he is stupid enough to drink the wine." Answer he grudgingly. His ck of confidence is also the cause of the event. (Demonic practitioner A)
"Hahaha! Who would have thought that teaching our demonic sutras would causing the problem for us in the first pce." Laughing the Demonic practitioner C. He is the first one who was teaching the sutra for fun. No regrets was showing on his face, only feigning the ignorance as if he is not guilty.
"It's pretty amazing that he grows this much with only a time spans of 2 weeks." Said Demonic practitioner B shaking his head. Still in state of disbelieved that a mortal, the mortal that he can kill by lifting a finger have became strong enough to cause harm to themselves.
"Now he was still ended up dead. Remember this, even if we are on the stronger side, we still need to use all means to survive. Less the thing happened to him happen to us." Remind the Demonic practitioner A.
Both Demonic practicer B and C nodded they head slightly. This silent nods were all the response needed.
All this conversations happening while they are cleaning the cave, removing all the traces of they living there, less like they are to be chase after. Well, a long time have past while waiting for the peasant to explode after all. Cultivator are more or less less sensitive with the time passing. With their long lifespans and all that.

Just as the three demonic brothers walking out of the cave, they're stopped by a ssh of qi. The qi ssh leaving a ten meter length gap of a mark on the floor.
Being suddenly shot at, the brothers instinctively leaving out the demonic qi to protect they body. With a raised hand to protect the eyes while retreating into the cave. They peeked at the source of the attack.
Before they can see clearly, their bodies was separated into pieces.
"Gekgek, this is the price for making us waste our time searching for your hiding pce" One of the orthodox elder whispered to himself, knowingly that the dead were listening.
"Let's go in! We are still need to search for that mortal. If he alive we will save him, if he dead we will see the body!" Speak the seemly leading figure among the group of elders to others.
Among the group, there was a female cultivator. She seems to already accepted that the mortal was dead as she couldn't get the sign of live in the caves. Although in her heart she still hoped to save the mortal if possible, thus ending the fate with him?
Wait, if she wants to cut off the fate with him then she could just wait for him to die? Could it be she have a feeling with the mortal? No, it's impossible, right? Or could it be because of guilty conscience? It could be it.
