Looking at the way Tang Luo effortlessly wiped out the troublesBlood Slaves, the two girls unconsciously opened their mouths, their faces filled with surprise.

They really couldn’t believe that Tang Luo could so casually crush the blood essence with his pure physical strength alone. He had just claimed that it was almost impossible for someone in the Mortal Realm to eradicate it by brute strength alone.

Perhaps speople existed merely to shatter common knowledge, Tang Fengran mused, her respect for this clan brother—one year younger than her— overflowing.

This was a respect devoid of status, purely as a warrior, because she knew how much effort it took to reach such heights. She regarded herself as someone who dedicated a significant amount of effort to martial arts, yet she had only mastered one aspect, Blitzing Thunder Fingers, so far. In contrast, Tang Luo casually wielded a multitude of martial arts techniques, his physical strength extraordinary.

She couldn’t help but ask herself, even if she reached the peak of Ascension, could she becas powerful as Tang Luo? The answer was affirmative.

For the first tin her life, she began to realize the gap between a favored genius and a mortal. Tang Fengran’s gaze was blurry, her heart equally blurry.

Unlike Tang Fengran, Tang Zhen didn’t have so many thoughts. All she needed to know was that Tang Luo was strong enough to rescue another squad from the sea of Blood Slaves. Her shock transformed into ecstatic joy as she shouted at Tang Luo, “Mr. Luo, the squad led by Tang Zheng is hiding in a valley with three peaks in the southwest. Please go and save them quickly!”

Thinking about how the trapped squad had been surrounded by the beast tide for quite stnow made Tang Zhen anxiously feel like an ant on a hot pan.

“Huh~?” Seeing Tang Zhen’s worried expression—despite her just seeming like his little fangirl moments ago—Tang Luo smiled, “Don’t worry, they have already sought shelter in the underground palace. The Han Family treasure vault is more durable than fine iron, with only one entrance that is easy to defend but hard to attack. As long as the Blood Dragon doesn’t barrel its way in, their squad—composed entirely of Wind Attack Thrice and Martial Thunder Fingers masters—does not face any real danger.”

Tang Luo’s analysis was logical, but convincing an emotionally swayed girl was difficult, as she had a tendency to think of the worst-case scenawithout basis.

“But what if the Blood Dragon does manage to invade the underground palace!?” Tang Zhen even dropped the honorifics and directly challenged Tang Luo.

Watching his spirited cousin, Tang Luo started believing that she might be the sperson who had once beaten him to a pulp.

Her anxious yet feisty demeanor made Tang Luo chuckle, prompting him to start explaining, “Blood Dragons won’t get in the underground palace, because they will be busy chasing me.”

“So you say, Lord Demon King.” Talking thus, Tang Luo suddenly turned his face west and tilted his head to a 45-degree angle, speaking into thin air.

Seeing Tang Luo suddenly start speaking to the air, both the mystified girls looked at each other, uncertain about what was happening. Suddenly an old voice echoed from the void, “You’re correct. My old friend has agreed to your demand, but there’s a minor condition.”

The Demon King was surprised. He had just projected his consciousness here when Tang Luo discovered him, a feat equivalent to demonstrating his ability to see through spiritual consciousness—an ability the Demon King had never heard of in his long life in the Demon Race.

The sudden old voice startled the two girls. They nervously watched out in all directions, their hands ready in a defensive stance. Wind Power lingered around their fingertips, ready to be unleashed.

Tang Luo gestured to both girls and asked them to calm down. He looked serene as he jokingly asked this Demon King—apparently the one commanding the Blood Beasts—what his request was. “Go ahead, let’s see whether I can agree.”

“I can let you go, but you must stay in the underground palace for a month,” the phantom Demon King coldly said to Tang Luo.

The Demon King who initially had sfondness for this human youth now found him distasteful. This deceitful, cunning youth deserved to be thrown into the depths.

“Oh, you can do that?” Tang Luo, raising an eyebrow, laughed, though he didn’t believe a single word of this demand.

Even if he did accept, waiting for an entire month seemed unlikely. There was probably a trick in there somewhere.

Well, the Demon Race was essentially naive. That it could cook up such a plot was pretty impressive. He should encourage them!

“Ahem.” Tang Luo cleared his throat, and in an emotional tone said, “But how can I be sure that you’re not tricking me? If I believe you and hide in the underground palace, what if your little buddies surround it and don’t letleave? Wouldn’t I be trapped in this Minor Spiritual Realm?”

“No… No way!” The Demon King forcefully retorted, “I am a respectable Demon King, do you think I would stoop so low as to trick you, a mere human?”

Tch, tch, he actually guessed it right! Tang Luo could barely contain his laughter. He had thought the Demon King had superior plans; it turned out his skills at deception were at the level of a six-year-old!

Bringing out such a rudimentary plan to deceive, he felt his intelligence was being insulted, Mr. Demon King.

Not just Tang Luo, even Tang Zhen and Tang Fengran felt something was off, they wondered how a lie could be so terrible.

Seeing the two girls clearly not believing him, the Demon King strained his voice to reassure them, saying, “I can’t be tricking you! As long as you get into the underground palace, you’re absolutely safe. The palace’s magic array is connected to the Realm Heart. The palace is also a huge Spirit-binding array. Blood Beasts can’t possibly break into it. It’s been seen you have a treasure that regenerates daily, and a pearl that could produce ice. As long as you hide in the underground palace, you would be absolutely safe. Even if you’re besieged, once the Spirit Realm Gate stabilizes six months later, the Han Family can send strong warriors here. In this case, how can I keep you trapped!”

Seeing the Demon King trying his best to explain, both the girls continued to look skeptical. If it weren’t for Tang Luo’s presence, they would surely berate the Demon King, “Liar!”

Even though everything the Demon King said seemed to make sense, he failed to explain the purpose of his condition. His intentions were clear: this was just another ploy to trap them. Why else would he reveal that the underground palace was an absolutely safe place: it was just bait to lure them in. Although they didn’t know his back-up plan, they were very clear on one point—they couldn’t enter the underground palace.

Now that Tang Zheng and the others were safe, the best thing to do was to leave this Minor Spiritual Realm while the Blood Dragons stood still far away. Once the Spirit Realm Gate stabilizes, they could then cback and eliminate the remaining Blood Slaves with all their excellent warriors.

After Tang Luo demonstrated his easy method to kill Blood Slaves, Tang Zhen and Tang Fengran lost their earlier fears. They believed that if the knowledge was shared, even Mortal Realm warriors from their own clan could cleanse this Minor Spiritual Realm.

As for this Demon King who was still trying hard to explain himself, they believed Tang Luo would see him for who he truly was and carry them away towards the Spirit Realm Gate. Considering his thick and strong arms, he should not have any problem carrying two girls while flying.

The thought of being so close to this legendary genius made the two girls blush slightly.

However, they didn’t expect Tang Luo to nod after listening to the Demon King’s words. He said, “Hmm… I agree. I think the Demon King has a point. Since I want to get the six of us safely back, it’s unlikely there won’t be sconcessions along the way. A month sounds reasonable. Let your Blood Slaves make a path and I’ll take my two cousins to the palace to stay for a month..”
