Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With this thought in mind, w.a.n.g Mang decided to stay near the Myriad Demons Cave.
If another peerless genius that he was capable of killing appeared, perhaps he would reap a harvest.
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang put away the Immortal Emperor Mask.
At this moment, a surprised voice was heard.
“Fellow Daoist, why are you still here?”
“Didn’t you enter the Myriad Demons Cave with Sword King?”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang looked up and saw seven young men with powerful auras.
w.a.n.g Mang had seen one of them before. It was none other than Lu Xun.
The other six people were also wearing the exclusive uniform of the Myriad Demon Holy Land, and were all peerless geniuses.
It seemed that they were all compet.i.tors for the position of the Holy Son.
As for the person who spoke to w.a.n.g Mang, it was a young man who looked extremely gentle and refined.
However, this gentle and refined young man’s aura was also very terrifying, even more so than Sword King’s.
At this moment, he was looking at w.a.n.g Mang with a faint smile.
w.a.n.g Mang could not help but ask softly, “Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?”
Hearing this, the gentle and refined man chuckled and said, “You can call me Zun Long!”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang’s eyes flickered. So this kid was Zun Long, which explained his powerful aura.
“You must be Sword King’s lackey? Where’s your master?”
At this moment, an arrogant young man crossed his arms in front of him and asked indifferently.
w.a.n.g Mang’s eyes flashed with killing intent, but he still chuckled. “Sword King has already returned to the Myriad Demon Holy Land.”
“He said that there was a huge crisis in the Myriad Demons Cave, so he just returned not long ago.”
“He also asked me to tell everyone not to enter the cave.”
Although w.a.n.g Mang’s words were made up, he was not lying to them.
However, did w.a.n.g Mang really want them not to enter?
No way!
He was simply saying this to tempt these fellows to enter. Reverse psychology!
They would probably believe that Sword King had instructed him to say these words to keep them from obtaining the opportunities within the Myriad Demons Cave.
As expected, after hearing w.a.n.g Mang’s words, the arrogant young man sneered, “Do you really think that I, Gu Yuan, am a fool?”
“If my guess is correct, Sword King deliberately asked you to stay back and delay us from entering the cave!”
Hearing this, a hint of panic appeared on w.a.n.g Mang’s face, but he quickly calmed down and said, “Everyone, I’m telling the truth. Please don’t make the mistake of entering the cave!”
Gu Yuan sneered, “Let’s go!” This kid wants to stall us? He really overestimates his own strength!”
After saying that, Gu Yuan ignored w.a.n.g Mang and prepared to walk into the Myriad Demons Cave.
However, w.a.n.g Mang immediately stepped forward to stop him and advised earnestly, “Fellow Daoist, please believe me!”
“I’m really not lying to you, Fellow Daoist! 1 had a premonition that there’s a huge crisis within the Myriad Demons Cave!”
Gu Yuan laughed coldly when he heard this and said, “Scram! Don’t force me to attack you!”
After saying that, Gu Yuan walked toward w.a.n.g Mang slowly. His eyes were extremely sharp, and the killing intent on his face was unconcealed.
w.a.n.g Mang’s expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he reluctantly made way for them.
Gu Yuan mocked w.a.n.g Mang when he saw this. After which, he instructed the two geniuses behind him, “Sword King’s idea is not bad!”
“The two of you will stay outside the cave. If any other experts want to enter, you will stop them together!”
Clearly, Gu Yuan wanted to prevent other powerhouses from entering the Myriad Demons Cave, as he did not want more compet.i.tors for the opportunities that lay within.
Hearing this, even Zun Long’s eyes lit up. Then, he smiled gently and said, “The three of you should stay behind as well. If you discover anyone trying to enter the Myriad Demons Cave, stop them if you can!”
At this point, Zun Long glanced at w.a.n.g Mang and said with a half-smile, “After all, this Fellow Daoist said that the cave is extremely dangerous.”
After he finished speaking, Zun Long chuckled and walked side by side with Gu Yuan towards the Myriad Demons Cave with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this scene, w.a.n.g Mang’s face immediately turned gloomy, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In reality though, w.a.n.g Mang was overjoyed. It worked!
With this, w.a.n.g Mang’s path to become the Holy Son had become much clearer. After all, if these two were around, even at full strength, w.a.n.g Mang might not be able to take them down.
However, it was different for these peerless geniuses who stayed behind, the strongest of which was a seventh-level Zenith Heaven realm expert, while the weakest was a fifth-level Zenith Heaven realm expert.
All of them were peerless geniuses, but w.a.n.g Mang did not fear them, even if they worked together. To him, these people were walking talent points!
After watching Gu Yuan and Zun Long enter the Myriad Demons Cave, w.a.n.g Mang could not help but smile, which Lu Xun happened to see.
Seeing the strange smile on w.a.n.g Mang’s face, Lu Xun suddenly had a very bad feeling.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Mang spotted Lu Xun staring at him with a frown.
w.a.n.g Mang was surprised.
Could it be that this guy had noticed something?
Then, before w.a.n.g Mang could say anything, Lu Xun said expressionlessly, “Fellow Daoists, 1 have something to attend to.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xun turned around and left.
w.a.n.g Mang’s heart skipped a beat.
Not long after Lu Xun left, w.a.n.g Mang smiled and said, “Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, I’m going to find something to eat.”
After saying that, under the dumbfounded gazes of the four peerless geniuses, w.a.n.g Mang also left.
As for why he left?
Of course, he was going to kill Lu Xun!
While he was on the way back to the Myriad Demon Holy Land, Lu Xun began to feel more and more uneasy, especially when he recalled the strange smile on w.a.n.g Mang’s face.
He had a feeling that there was a huge conspiracy hidden here!
At this moment, a chuckle suddenly rang out.
“Fellow Daoist, where are you going?”
