First, he had to be dealt with!
After nearly being killed by Brahma just now, how could Su Luo let him off easily?
However, she also knew that Brahma couldn't be killed for the time being. Otherwise, Molochaj would surely fly into a rage and seek revenge for his son at all costs. Once the Demon Sect launched a large-scale attack and resorted to any means necessary, it would absolutely plunge the world into chaos and cause widespread suffering.
She had to control this mad and sinister young master of the Demon Sect.
A hint of mockery flashed in Su Luo's eyes, and she said playfully, "Brahma, do you want the Heart of the Sand Vein back? If you submit to me, I might consider it."
Submit? He wanted to humiliate him?
Brahma roared, "This young master will never bow to anyone. You dream if you want me to be your slave!"
Su Luo said without politeness, "You're overthinking it. You're not even fit to be a slave. What I mean by submission is to be a dog. As long as you obey obediently and do as I say, I might consider returning the Heart of the Sand Vein to you."
Chu Tianshu and the others were a little confused. What was their junior sister trying to do?
Was it just to humiliate Brahma and get revenge?
However, Su Luo had always been mischievous and eccentric, as they had seen many times before. Even though they didn't understand, they didn't question her actions. Instead, they watched with great interest.
"Nonsense! I..."
Brahma was enraged again, but as soon as he uttered a word, Su Luo tightened her grip on the Heart of the Sand Vein, and a spiritual light flashed in her palm. He let out a painful howl again.
Su Luo merely wanted to suppress his arrogant demeanor.
When dealing with such a fanatical and paranoid person, one had to use special methods to break their spirit and pride, leaving them with psychological trauma, which would be convenient for dealing with them later. After all, she couldn't really kill Brahma, and she already knew the weakness of the Heart of the Sand Vein. Even if Brahma possessed an immortal body, he wasn't impossible to deal with.
Unexpectedly, after howling and rolling for a while this time, Brahma's body began to convulse.
Then, he stopped moving.
Li Tianjue frowned, "He's fainted."
Su Luo looked at the Heart of the Sand Vein in her hand and said strangely, "He fainted so quickly? I didn't even get serious yet. He's too useless."
She stepped forward to check. Brahma had indeed fainted and his breathing was weak.
Alas, this young master of the Demon Sect couldn't take much punishment.
Not wanting Brahma to die, Su Luo could only give him a healing pill and give him a general examination. She found that he had no serious internal injuries, only crystalline scars on his body that were slowly healing.
Lu Jixing took out a large handful of his homemade Spirit-Suppressing Pills and forced them down his throat. After confirming that he woke up without danger, he instructed Lin Yao and a few outer disciples to keep a close watch on him.
"Everyone, let's take a short break."
Su Luo clapped her hands, relieved. It was a close call, but there was no real danger.
Although an accident had occurred, their focus remained on the Prodigy Competition. It was only the second day. They had eliminated quite a number of Nether Flames, but they weren't sure if others had eliminated more than them. Since they had come to the Nether Flame Swamp, even with the sneak attack from the Demon Sect, they had to strive until the last moment.
Everyone found hidden spots to change out of their mud-covered clothes, washed up simply with water from their storage rings, and after eating and drinking their fill, they continued to move forward.
Soon, they eliminated another wave of Nether Flames. Su Luo also unexpectedly discovered a Grade Seven gem, the Phoenix Blood Crystal, which was as large as a basketball. While everyone was overjoyed, the sky gradually darkened.
The group found a relatively dry spot to prepare to spend the night and rest.
As wisps of cooking smoke rose, Brahma, who had been in a coma, woke up.
"Bad, he's awake!"
He Bi'er, who was guarding him, was startled and quickly retreated several steps.
Lin Yao and Gu Chengfeng rushed forward to block in front of her, facing a formidable enemy, and called out to Li Tianjue.
On the grass, Brahma groaned and slowly got up.
When he saw Li Tianjue standing in front of him, he was suddenly startled, curled up, covered his head, and dared not look at him, trembling all over.
"What's wrong with him? He looks so scared."
Lin Yao couldn't believe it. "Could he be faking it? People from the Demon Sect are the most cunning."
Qin Yuanshu snorted, "No need to say more, it must be fake. Senior Brother, you must not believe him. He was so crazy just now, wanting to kill all of us. Even with his spiritual power suppressed now, he shouldn't be this scared."
Li Tianjue also felt something was not right. The others gathered around, and Brahma became even more terrified, constantly retreating.
His timid and flustered appearance was like a drowned rat that had been beaten. Seeing everyone was like seeing ghosts. Where was the arrogant and bloodthirsty young master of the Demon Sect from before?
"Ah—"
Brahma screamed, got up, stumbled, and ran.
But his cultivation had been sealed. In his panic, he tripped over some wild grass and fell right in front of Su Luo, who was eating a bunch of grapes, landing face-first in the mud.
"Brahma, are you going to kowtow to me?" Su Luo sat in her elegant chair, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Sister, save me..."
Brahma grabbed the leg of the elegant chair and said pitifully, a statement that shocked everyone, "They, they are so scary! Sister, save me..."
Everyone looked at him in unison, completely disbelieving what they had heard.
Was this still the arrogant young master of the Demon Sect?
Brahma crawled on his knees to Su Luo, hid behind her, grabbed her skirt, and trembled all over, saying in a voice that was almost childlike, "Sister, sister... I'm scared."
He used Su Luo's skirt to cover his eyes and buried his head, not daring to look at anyone.
Su Luo was stunned, and even the grapes she hadn't finished eating fell to the ground.
"Brahma, are you crazy? Don't get my newly changed skirt dirty." Su Luo yanked back her skirt. If she hadn't known that Brahma's spiritual power had been removed and he couldn't hurt anyone, she would have knocked him out long ago.
"Sister..."
Seeing Brahma about to pounce on her again, Su Luo struck him in the chest with her palm, knocking him to the ground.
Brahma looked at Su Luo with a wronged and pitiable expression, almost on the verge of tears.
My heavens!
Everyone was dumbfounded. The young master of the Demon Sect, who had woken up after being in a coma, had actually become mentally retarded and didn't recognize people anymore? Was he being cunning and playing tricks, or had he truly fallen ill?
Su Luo checked him with her divine vision mirror and smacked her forehead, feeling a sense of utter absurdity.
Brahma: The only son of Molochaj, the Lord of the Demon Sect, 21 years old. He suffered severe trauma from witnessing his mother being abused by his father for a long time and eventually dying a tragic death during his childhood, resulting in severe dissociative identity disorder...
After reading everything, Su Luo felt both helpless and headache. She had gotten herself into trouble.
Brahma's dual personality disorder recurred almost every year. The primary personality was actually his current state—weak, pitiful, and easily frightened, with his mind stuck at around eight years old. It was the arrogant, paranoid, and cruel state that was his secondary personality.
Apart from Molochaj, no one had ever seen his weak and pitiful side, because once the secondary personality appeared, it would kill everyone who had seen the other side of him.
Previously, Brahma had been tormented by Su Luo, and even the Heart of the Sand Vein had been snatched away, causing him to relapse.
Su Luo did not reveal this secret. She only transmitted a message to Li Tianjue to explain, and then blinked and asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?"
