Nineteen gave a hey, seeming to find this human interesting and looked at him a few more times with higher regard.
“But, what’s admirable is his candor, disciple, no wonder you took a liking to such a person as a friend,” he said.
Logan smiled, offering no further explanation.
Lexi Carr felt a little embarrassed by the praise, a slight flush coloring his face.
However, for them, the disaster was just beginning.
With the death of two from the Demon Race, their headquarters naturally sensed something was amiss.
On top of that, the commotion caused by Little Flower and Little White was too great, immediately drawing the attention of the upper echelons of the Demon Race.
“Who dares, you actually had the audacity to lay hands on our people, truly bold as lions and bears,” one of them bellowed.
Several more from the Demon Race arrived, and at a glance, they were clearly no ordinary foes.
The formidable pressure they exuded was enough to make even Logan feel oppressed.
Not good, it seems that our actions have indeed drawn the attention of the higher-ups from the Demon Race.
Three at the Saint Seat Eighth Level, and even two at the Saint Seat Ninth Level.
Every single one of them was stronger than himself, and not just by a single tier.
If it were a battle crossing just one tier, there might still be a chance of victory.
But spanning several tiers, things were not so simple.
Logan pursed his lips slightly, his gaze fixed seriously on the few members of the Demon Race, his mind racing to figure out what to do in the current situation.
Lexi Carr, upon seeing them, also turned a shade paler.
He was not foolish, and at one glance, he could see the vast disparity in strength between them.
“This is bad, Young Master Logan, none of these individuals are to be taken lightly, and they are high-ranking members of the Demon Race. I didn’t expect we would provoke such Kings of Hell, you better run quickly, we’re no match for them,” he said.
He was not foolish; against the previous few, perhaps there was a chance to fight.
But against those far stronger by several tiers, there was no opportunity to fight for their lives.
Now, he could only hope that Logan would escape quickly, perhaps then they could seize a slim chance at survival.
“Young Master Logan, what are you waiting for? Run quickly!” he urged.
“Run? Today, not one of you will escape!”
One of the high-ranking members waved a hand, causing several balls of fire to fall around them, effectively blocking their path of escape. The intense flames roared to life, searing their flesh with its scorching heat.
With his low cultivation level, Lexi Carr was already feeling the discomfort.
“Lord Logan, we must not underestimate the strength of these people, what should we do now?” he asked.
“There’s no choice, we have to meet force with force and see if we can fight our way out!” he replied.
In truth, Logan was not foolish either; the idea of escape had crossed his mind at the outset.
But before he could act, their escape route had already been cut off.
It seemed that to escape from under the noses of these people, they first had to deal with them.
With that thought, he immediately drew his array and attacked.
This was no ordinary array, but a Killing Array.
Unlike ordinary arrays, it had one significant advantage: it could be activated immediately, not wasting too much time, in case of an emergency.
This array was indeed somewhat complex and novel, stalling the Demon Race members for a moment.
“Hmph, the array is quite interesting, but unfortunately, your own skills are too meager to withstand us,” one of them scoffed.
With that, they drew longswords and broke through the array with ease.
But Logan had not intended to trap them all at once; it was merely a delay.
Realizing he was outmatched, and with no more Spirit Stones left, he couldn’t keep the array active; thus, the best course of action was to retreat.
After all, Nineteen had suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving them to rely solely on themselves.
“Owner!”
Little Flower and Little White appeared by his side at some point, looking at him with concern.
“We are no match for these people, what should we do now?” they asked.
Little Flower and Little White also tried to attack, but their efforts were all repelled.
After the array was broken, Logan immediately deployed another without a second word.
“No matter what, we must not think of retreating just yet, let’s see how things go from here!” he declared.
Afterward, he soared back into the sky and attacked the demon race once again.
Among them, a demon of the Saint Seat Ninth Level suddenly exerted force, attacking him with its lifebound weapon.
“Obstinate fool, wishful thinking!”
After evaluating him with these few words, the Dharma device broke through his defense and headed straight for his heart at an alarming speed.
If Logan had been an ordinary Saint Seat Fifth Level, he would have already died under the Dharma device.
But he was not, and he even had an unexpectedly sharp intuition for danger.
He immediately veered to the side, trying to dodge the Dharma device.
He managed to avoid it, though not the vital parts. Still, his arm sustained a graze.
Following that, the trace of the graze began to bleed, slowly trickling down his arm.
“Owner!”
“Young Master Logan!”
Little Flower, Little White, and Lexi Carr almost cried out in alarm at the same time.
They gathered back by Logan’s side, looking at him with concern.
“Owner, are you injured?”
Little White said while channeling Spiritual Energy, trying to heal him.
But no matter how much energy was channeled into the wound, there was no sign of it healing.
“How could this be?”
At this moment, the demon of the Saint Seat Ninth Level spoke with an air of nonchalance.
“Don’t bother wasting your effort. Without my intervention, you will not be able to heal his injury. This is Demonic Qi. Do you think you can dispel it with your mere Spiritual Energy? Be careful, lest in trying to steal a chicken, you end up losing the rice, and instead, worsen your owner’s condition.”

His words were filled with schadenfreude.
“You!”
Little White glared at him fiercely, furious yet helpless.
Their cultivation level was lower than that of their adversaries; they had no power to fight back for the moment.
As Lexi Carr looked at the injured Logan, she felt both distressed and incredulous.
In her heart, Young Master Logan was the most powerful person, who, despite only possessing the strength of the Saint Seat Fifth Level, did not fear those who fought above their level.
But now, he was injured, and it was all because of her.
The guilt Lexi Carr felt for dragging Logan into this situation was unspeakable.
By the time she snapped back to reality, a resolute thought had already taken shape in her mind.
“Young Master Logan, after all is said and done, this is all my fault for bringing trouble upon you. You must find a way to escape. As for me, I will find a way to cover you. If by chance we meet again in the future, I hope we can still be friends.”
Saying this, Lexi Carr suddenly stood up, shouting provocations at the demons.
“I know exactly what you’re after by persistently chasing me. Let me tell you, I’m fully aware of the Demon Race’s schemes. As long as I live, I will certainly expose this matter to the world. If you have the courage, come and kill me!”
Having finished speaking, she even launched a secret technique at several people. Although it was ineffective, she successfully covered for Logan, helping both of them to escape.
But as soon as they reached a relatively safe place, she immediately split up from him.
“Lexi Carr, what are you doing?”
As Lexi Carr walked in another direction, she sent a distant voice transmission.
“I can no longer travel with you. I don’t want to hold you back any longer. I’m going to attract some of their firepower now. They still care about the Demon Race’s plots, so they should send most of their people after me. Young Master Logan, run quickly, the farther the better, and leave this place as fast as you can!”
With her limited strength, that was all Lexi Carr could do.
Yet, even so, it brought her some solace.
“Lexi Carr!”
Logan shouted her name, but ultimately, he did not manage to catch up to her. Clenching his teeth, he ran in another direction.
Suddenly, several demons arrived at the place where they had parted ways.
“Boss, I’ve sensed that traitor’s aura. He ran this way. As for the other ordinary human, he should have run in this direction.”
The demon of the Saint Seat Ninth Level snorted coldly.
“Hmph! They’re clever, thinking to split up. But both are weaklings, not worth our attention. You, go after that traitor. The rest of you, follow me to chase that human cultivator. Although he’s only at the Fifth Level of the Saint Seat, his strength is somewhat unusual. I believe I can obtain what I desire from him.”
He gestured towards a demon of the Eighth Level as he gave the command, clearly underestimating Lexi Carr, thinking that sending a single person would be sufficient to handle her.
The remaining four set their sights on pursuing Logan.
