Chapter 834 - Demons’ Valley
Chapter 834 – Demons’ Valley
After entering the Demons’ Valley, Yuan’s vision blurred for a second, and when it cleared up, he found himself in a different area.
He had been teleported somewhere, but he still appeared to be within the Demons’ Valley.
He turned around and waited to see if Wan Kaiqi would show up, but when nobody showed up after a minute, he figured that Wan Kaiqi had also been teleported somewhere.
‘They probably did this to separate us.’ Yuan thought.
He tilted his head until he was staring at the sky, and when he located the red star in the sky, he started walking towards that direction.
‘We have three days to complete this examination, which is a lot of time even if we cannot fly. This is probably on purpose to encourage us to fight demons and earn points.’
‘Not only do I have to beat Wan Kaiqi, but this is also good practice for me. Hopefully, there are enough demons in this place to satisfy me.’
Yuan decided to focus on hunting demons instead of just rushing to the finish line.
Of course, the other two participants also had the same thoughts.
They all believed that they would be able to reach the goal with ease and with plenty of time to spare, so they might as well use that spare time to hunt for points and acquire a demon sealing treasure or two.
Meanwhile, in another location, Yan Hara and the other two judges watched the participants through a mirror.
“I know he’s a talented young man, but don’t you think it’s a little too much to allow him to participate in this examination? After all, these demons don’t scale to his strength, so they will all have a higher cultivation than him.” Tang Zheng asked Yan Hara.
After a moment of silence, she responded in a calm voice, “I want to see his limit. He might be lacking in terms of cultivation compared to the other two, but his demon sealing aura is by no means inferior. In fact, he might even surpass them.”
“Also, he’s going to be the future leader of the Demon Sealing Clan. He’ll need some achievenments under his belt before then.”
“You seem very confident in his abilities. However, if you ask me, he’s still far behind the current leader of the Demon Sealing Clan.” Wan Yu suddenly said.
And he continued, “Oh, I don’t mean his talents. His talents are definitely terrifying, and he has the potential to surpass even the current leader. However, he will need more than talent to become the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan. His character is too soft and naive at this moment.”
“You cannot expect a baby to suddenly start cultivating. He’s still young and inexperienced, but he will eventually grow up-I will make sure of it.” Yan Hara said.
Wan Yu sighed, “If he survives, that is. What a pity that he’s with the Demon Sealing Clan.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Yan Hara frowned.
Wan Yu shrugged and said, “The strife between the two clans is getting worse by the day. I’ll be surprised if there’s a Demon Sealing Clan by the time he ‘grows up’.”
“What? That’s bullshit!” Yan Hara immediately exclaimed.
“Bullshit? You know, this isn’t the first time our people have died by Qian Chu’s hands. In fact, ever since he became the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, our Demon Sealing Grotto have encountered many misfortunate situations where our top demon sealers are being killed in ‘accidents’ that involved Qian Chu one way or another. However, this is the first time we have lost 3 Master Demon Sealers in one day, and they all died in an event managed by Qian Chu.”
“Even though Qian Chu denies all accusations, we all know that’s just plain bullshit.”
“What happened during the tournament was just an accident! In case you forgot, I was also part of it, and I nearly died if not for the Leader! Why would the Leader risk losing two Master Demon Sealers just to harm the Demon Sealing Grotto ? That doesn’t make any sense!” Yan Hara said.
“Hmph! Then let me ask you this. Why did the Leader save you but allowed the others to die? Why did everyone from the Demon Sealing Grotto die while the Demon Sealing Clan received zero casualties? A coincidence? I don’t f#cking think so!”
“Are you accusing me of being part of this conspiracy now?! I can’t believe you!” Yan Hara exclaimed in an angry voice.
“I’m not accusing you of anything. In fact, I wholeheartedly believe that Qian Chu would be willing to sacrifice his own people just to achieve his goals. He’s just that kind of person.”
“You know, during interrogation, when the Demon Sealing Grotto asked Qian Chu why he only saved you, he claimed that he did not do such a thing and that someone else had saved you by taking control of his Demon Sealing Flag! Who the hell would believe that?! Besides the Divine Paragon, nobody in the Nine Heavens has the ability to hijack the Demon Sealing Flag right under Qian Chu’s nose!”
“What.?” Yan Hara became speechless after hearing this information from Wan Yu.
Qian Chu didn’t save her? Then who saved her?
