In the periphery shadow mountain range, middle region,
Inside a man-mad cave, there was a small pond with crystal clear water and two wizened demons were sitting cross-legged around it.
However, there was a peculiar thing about this pond of water. Right in the center of this water was a golden array disk, glowing with silver symbols and creating a web of thin golden threads at the bottom of the pound.
The wizened demon with pale white skin said at this moment, “I had to say, this Myriad Threads Qi Detection Formation of Blade Demon Tribe is quite powerful to cover such a vast area like the middle region.”
The purple skin wizened demon coolly answered, “I appreciate Fourth Misty Killer praise. But this formation is quite cumbersome to arrange and even burn a vast amount of third-grade Qi stones.”
Fourth Misty Demon Killer merely chuckled and clearly didn’t believe this person’s words.
“Ocean Envoy, I never thought we would sit together one day peacefully instead of fighting.” He said.
Ocean Blade Envoy’s eyes narrowed slightly and said, “If you have something to say, just say it. Please don’t beat around the bush.”
These two were old enemies because both were sly old foxes, so how could Ocean Blade Envoy didn’t know what this guy was up to?
Fourth Misty Demon Killer smiled with a distant glint in his green eyes as he said, “I heard Ocean Envoy’s tribe got executed over two and a half months ago because your son ran away… is that true?”.
Ocean Blade Envoy was none other than the old ocean demon duke and Livy’s father, who was living under the Blade Demon King for many years.
Ocean Blade Envoy was naturally struck the hardest when he heard how the infamous thief appeared in his tribe and steal everything while his son ran away to save his skin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was extremely helpless and filled with resentment when the order of his entire tribe’s annihilation arrived, and he watched how a thousand-year-old Ocean Demon City burned to group with its residents.
He was spared because of his status as the Blade Demon King’s Blade Envoy and those youngsters who left the city before the tragic event took place, and also because he begged the Blade Demon King to spear those ocean demon youths.
He even made them withdraw from this competition because he knew they might get killed, and he didn’t want to lose the ocean demon tribe’s reaming bloodline over the demon gate trail.
Now, besides him and those youngsters, there was only his traitorous son left of the ocean demon tribe, and truth be told, he didn’t hate Livy for what he did, but he also didn’t have any good feelings since his selfish actions destroyed his entire tribe.
He got back a few days ago after grieving for the deceased and then allocated this mission to watch over this array plate with six others, and they all had to pair up with a Misty Demon Killer.
This paring was done, so any party won’t get a chance to create any kind of trouble and just watch over the competition for three months.
It was all arranged by two demon kings.
However, now the Fourth Misty Demon Killer was trying to provoke Ocean Blade Envoy suddenly with a taboo topic. If this was anyone else, they would’ve flown in a rage.
But the old ocean duke was not provoked, he even smiled with a hint of killing intent and said viciously, “I also heard your eighth son was sleeping with your three concubines, and he even impregnated one of them and that’s why you kill them. But the public knows the completely opposite story. Why is that?”
Fourth Misty Demon Killer’s expression turned nasty when the biggest shame of his life which he wanted to hide from the world revealed by the old ocean duke.
‘Curse you, All-Knowing Parrot!’ Fourth Misty Demon Killer blamed the only person who could’ve known and leaked the information.
He wanted to taunt Ocean Blade Envoy for his motives, but the other party turn the tables on him while maintaining his calm, which showed just how patient this old demon was.
“I told you, just come clean with me. If you want to play word games, you’re not a match with this old man. I had watched my entire tribe getting killed. Do you think these meager taunts will affect me anymore?” Old Ocean Duke smiled coldly.
Fourth Misty Demon Killer’s calm expression returned, and he only sighed, “No wonder you are in charge of blade domain business and logistics. Let’s not beat around the bush anymore. I want Rising Sword Earl’s head, and I don’t want anyone to find out about it!”
Old Ocean Duke’s eyes narrowed into slits as he coldly uttered, “What are you after? Do you think I would remain ideal while you killed a promising youth of Blade Domain?”
Fourth Misty Demon Killer smiled coldly, “Now who’s talking in roundabout ways? Do you think we don’t know how much you hate Feng Demon Sword and his tribe?
“Because of your tribe’s destruction, Demon Sword got promoted because of the former head elder Clay who had a very good relation with Feng, and do you believe he would let the remanent ocean demon tribe live peacefully after passing the demon gate trail?”
He smiled viciously and continued, “Your tribe had tormented their tribe for generations, and do you think they would let your tribe off this easily? Heh, that little brat is extremely cunning, and he misled many for lord’s known how many years, and he’s now 2nd rank in the ranking. We could only imagine his prowess.
“Do you really not want to get rid of this future trouble? You just had to look the other way, and I’ll do it for you. All I’m asking is for you to keep this between us, and no one would ever know.”
Fourth Misty Demon Killer was very confident in swaying the ocean demon envoy and getting the chance to take his head himself and then hand it to the second prince.
The Misty Demon Killers all know about Second Prince’s presence in the competition and why he was here, and about the five-names kill list.
They were all allowed to do anything to complete this mission if they can, or they can just leave it to the second prince since he could complete it, eventually.
But completing it sooner and letting the second prince escape earlier would only decrease the chances of Blade Envoys finding out about this.
That was why the Fourth Misty Demon Killer wanted to take advantage of the hatred between Feng and Ocean Blade Envoy and took his head, which was on that five-name kill list!
However, Ocean Demon Envoy’s next words completely gobsmacked him.
The wizened face old demon said with a deep sigh, “Even if you offered me the entire mist domain, I won’t betray his majesty’s trust. As for completely destroying my tribe, do you think your words are more assured than His Majesty’s?

Santos’s group was currently meeting with another group of scouts at this moment.
“We found one of the people in that name list.” One scout said.
Mural’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “Who and where?”
The scout coldly chuckled, “Young Master Mural, it isn’t I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that we want our promised reward first. It’s a fair trade, after all.”
Mural’s expression clouded and coldly looked at the lavender skin demon group. He coldly threw a storage ring toward the demon and said, “Speak, and if your information wasn’t accurate, you can forget about your Dark Wood Demon Tribe as well.”
The scout merely chuckled as he probed the storage ring first, completely unfazed by Mural’s threat.
After checking the contents of the storage ring and being satisfied with the reward, he revealed,
“It’s Alora Wild Yisrael, but she wasn’t alone. She’s with Carlee Wild Violent, and it seemed both of them are searching for something these days, and they were moving toward the Core Region.
“One of our brothers is currently following them while leaving markers for us. We’ll be able to catch up with them in three days. What do junior masters think of this?”
Mural glanced at the white demon and when he saw the look, he quickly uttered, “Fine, let’s go. The faster we found them, the sooner we’ll be moving on to other targets.”
They all left the area without even knowing something closely, listened to them, and followed them from the shadows.
Ace was coolly following them with this heartless stealth active and mused,
ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ ‘Alora Wild Yisrael and Carlee Wild Violent, both of them from wild tribes and Alora had a significant background while Carlee’s from a subordinary tribe of the Yisrael Tribe.
‘Moving together isn’t a big deal, but what are they searching for? This is becoming more interesting!’
