Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although w.a.n.g Mang had a hunch about this fellow’s state of mind, he remained calm and said, “Brother Sword King, I am also quite interested in this Myriad Demons Cave.”
“Sense of unease? We’ve already reached Tier 5. How can these non-existent things affect us?”
“Besides, how can you not take risks if you want to obtain opportunities? How can there be such a good thing in the world?”
After listening to w.a.n.g Mang’s words, Sword King, who was originally worried, slowly nodded.
He was moved by w.a.n.g Mang’s last sentence. It was true, after all. Every reward came with risks attached to it.
Moreover, he had been cultivating for so long.
Along the way, he had encountered countless dangers.
He believed that even if he was in danger, he would be able to survive.
With that thought in mind, Sword King decided that he had to go to the Myriad Demons Cave.
In addition, he was worried that if he did not go, Zun Long and Gu Yuan would go and obtain something that would give them the edge over him in the compet.i.tion to become the Holy Son.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Mang took the opportunity to tempt him further.
“Brother Sword King, if you obtain the opportunity, the position of the Holy Son will be within your grasp!”
Sword King was silent for a moment, and then his eyes became firm.
“Good! It’s decided then.”
“There’s no time like the present. Today, the two of us will head to the Myriad Demons Cave!”
Sword King then turned to w.a.n.g Mang, who smiled and said, “Then I’ll accompany Brother Sword King there!”
Sword King nodded.
“I’ll go back to the main hall and make some preparations. You and I will gather at the entrance of the Myriad Demon Holy Land later!””
“No problem!” w.a.n.g Mang immediately nodded with a smile.
After Sword King left, w.a.n.g Mang said softly, “Spring Flower, Summer Flowers…”
Outside the main hall, two beautiful maidservants walked up and said respectfully, “Yes, Milord.”
“After 1 leave, you guys head out and spread the news that I and Sword King have gone to the Myriad Demons Cave. Make sure all of the other compet.i.tors for the position of the Holy Son hear about this.”
Although they did not know why w.a.n.g Mang was doing this, the two maidservants still replied respectfully and obediently, “As Milord instructs.”
w.a.n.g Mang nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal for the two to leave. He then left and made his way out of the Myriad Demon Holy Land.
Along the way, many core disciples and inner disciples greeted w.a.n.g Mang when they saw him, their faces filled with flattery.
They already knew that w.a.n.g Mang had joined the Myriad Demon Holy Land, and also knew of his status as one of the partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion for the position of Holy Son!
Even if w.a.n.g Mang failed to compete for the position of Holy Son and ended up as a candidate, his status would still be higher than countless others.
This was because w.a.n.g Mang would definitely become an elder in the future.
The elders of the Myriad Demon Holy Land could be said to be the backbone of the upper echelons of the Myriad Demon Holy Land, and wielded great power and authority.
Thus, many people were eager to please w.a.n.g Mang.
w.a.n.g Mang, however, had a cold and aloof expression on his face, as if he did not want anyone to come near him. After all, w.a.n.g Mang had never cared about these ant-like existences.
In other words, these people were basically useless to w.a.n.g Mang, so why bother with them? It was simply a waste of time.
After arriving at the entrance of the Myriad Demon Holy Land, w.a.n.g Mang saw Sword King standing with his hands behind his back, waiting for him.
At this moment, Sword King was holding a silver sword in his hand.
Upon seeing w.a.n.g Mang, the Sword King smiled and said, “Let’s go! Brother w.a.n.g Mang.”
w.a.n.g Mang immediately nodded and followed Sword King. After leaving the Myriad Demon Holy Land, w.a.n.g Mang and Sword King arrived at the Myriad Demon City, and were walking through the city.
They needed to pa.s.s through the city in order to reach the mountain range on the other side, where the Myriad Demons Cave was located.
However, right at this moment, w.a.n.g Mang suddenly saw something in front of him. A mocking voice could be heard, “Red-haired brat, bow before me and I will let you go.”
“Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving the Myriad Demon City in this lifetime. Otherwise, it will be the day you die.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang subconsciously looked up, though he did not pay much attention to it.
However, when he saw the angry black-robed figure standing in front of a young master, w.a.n.g Mang was instantly stunned.
This black-robed figure was none other than the former Demon Lord Chong Lou!
Not only that, Demon Lord Chong Lou’s cultivation had reached the Zenith Heaven realm, though it was only the second level.
In the face of this young master’s humiliation, his face was filled with anger, but he did not dare to say anything.
This was because w.a.n.g Mang could sense that there was a late-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert beside this young master.
After some thought, w.a.n.g Mang decided to help Demon Venerable Chong Lou. This fellow had no enmity with him, and was also summoned by him back then.
Moreover, strictly speaking, he had helped w.a.n.g Mang once.
At this thought, w.a.n.g Mang whispered, “Chong Lou!”
Sword King was taken aback. He stopped and looked at w.a.n.g Mang in confusion.
“Wait a minute, Brother Sword King,” w.a.n.g Mang explained softly, “I met an old acquaintance.””
Sword King nodded.
At the same time, the enraged Demon Lord Chong Lou immediately saw w.a.n.g Mang.
Upon seeing w.a.n.g Mang, Demon Lord Chong Lou was stunned, and his eyes filled with astonishment.
Clearly, he recognized w.a.n.g Mang, but had never imagined that w.a.n.g Mang had actually reached Tier 5!
One had to know that w.a.n.g Mang’s strength back then had not even reached Tier 4! How long had it even been? How did this fellow become so powerful in such a short time?
Thinking this, Demon Lord Chong Lou felt even more bitter. Here, in the Sage Emperor Continent, he had found out how lacking he was.
There were so many Tier 4 and Tier 5 experts here!
Even if he had broken through to Tier 5, he was still not a top-tier expert.
Furthermore, after he came to the Myriad Demon City, he offended the son of the City Lord and was trapped here.
After seeing w.a.n.g Mang, he respectfully lowered his proud head and sighed.
“Fellow Daoist, save me!”
w.a.n.g Mang was so surprised that he almost thought he had heard wrongly.
He did not expect that the once arrogant Demon Lord Chong Lou would actually ask him for help?
However, while w.a.n.g Mang was stunned, the white-robed young man holding the folding fan threatened coldly, “Fellow Daoist, it’s best if you mind your own business!”
“Be careful not to bring disaster upon yourself!”
