The Shenxiao secret chamber, squared on all sides, now resembled the foyer of a gigantic house.
The Shenxiao land, its doors already open, awaited its guests to enter and take their seats. Though the hosts were absent, the hospitality that should be present had been prepared for many years.
Of course, as guests, they needed to change their boots, place their rain gear properly in the foyer, shake off the travel dust, and maintain their guest etiquette.
Among them, one might even receive long-lost recognition and inherit this "house" nearly lost to time.
This place had been empty and silent for countless years, always gathering dust, set apart from the world. Although the dust has now been wiped away, the process of revival was interrupted by a terrifying external force... what met the eyes was still somewhat withered.
Beyond the open doors lay old trees with yellow leaves, a deeply mysterious forest.
Six winding forest paths extended into the unknown distance, like six mysterious chambers awaiting choice.
Though called forest paths, they were anything but beautiful. Instead, they had fallen branches, decaying leaves in heaps, and an air of antiquity...
This land of Shenxiao had ultimately been corroded by time, too cold and desolate.
Yet the hustle and bustle here in the Shenxiao secret chamber exceeded many guests’ expectations.
How many Heavenly Demons and terrifying existences guarding outside the Shenxiao Secret Cache were unknown to them; they could only make rough judgments based on their preparations and competitors’ identities.
Even though the outside had been sealed off, merely within this place... the situation was already complicated enough.
Xiong Sansi, Yu Xin, Zhu Lanruo, Zhu Zheng, Yang Yu, Ken Xihua.
Spiritual King Lu Qilang, Red Moon King She Guyu, Black Lotus Temple Shujia Lan.
Peaceful Ghost Messenger Pig Dali, Gale Killing Sword Chai Asi.
A total of eleven demons.
They came from different forces, each with their own schemes, and each had grudges with one another.
The tangled grudges between the three forces of The Sky Sloth Wilderness, the Purple Wu Hills, and the Divine Fragrance Flower Sea, the Buddha lineage conflict between Ancient Nan Mountain and the Black Lotus Temple, even the undercurrents within Mo Yun City’s various families, Lu Qilang’s pursuit of She Guyu, added with the disruptive Taiping Dao, and the enigmatic Chai Asi...
It was a chaotic mess!
It could be said that if someone could untangle this myriad of threads, the world would be theirs to take.
But even with the situation already so complicated, when Shenxiao secret chamber was pierced through the underground in an illusory manner and hidden into the unknown, just before completely sealing inside and outside, another demon forced their way in alive!
This really startled the demons in the room, each carrying their own schemes.
Indeed, the previous situation of a terrifying existence forcibly assaulting the Shenxiao land was too horrific; the Shenxiao land had already begun self-destruction, and the rules of their standing were teetering; they nearly all perished together!
When they saw that it was Yuan Mengji who had arrived, they more or less breathed a sigh of relief.
If that terrifying existence that ignored their lives had squeezed in, they would not need to fight anymore; kneeling down to beg for mercy would suffice.
Ken Xihua even exchanged a glance with Zhu Zheng, and amidst the tense hostility, they surprisingly reached a consensus—though they didn’t know how the fool from the Ape Family got in, it seemed he wouldn’t pose too big a threat.
As the last participant in this grand event, Yuan Mengji, the focus of everyone’s attention, felt tumultuous waves in his heart that took a long time to calm.
Damn! Damn! Damn! Am I really a blood relative of Yuan Xianting?
Although I haven’t heard of this great demon having descendants... could it be that I’m his long-lost grandson?
Otherwise, why would the elder take such care of me?
Grandpa, with you here, I need not even come to this secret place. Who cares about Yu Zhen’s secret cache or the Yu Clan inheritance? Wouldn’t it suffice for you to pass down a few tricks to me? Why must I come to compete with these country bumpkins and struggle mightily?
The Clan Leader is indeed too modest, with such a powerful backing yet consistently refusing to speak of it, always evasive! What could he be thinking? Not a pinch of the Mighty Heavenly Demon’s grandeur passed down... except to a youth like me!
Yuan Mengji straightened his back even more. Standing here, he was like a green pine. Though he was the last to arrive, it was not that he came too late or had no path, but was the protagonist who appears last in all stories, the absolute ruler to whom all demons paid homage.
His gaze swept around, and in this spirited moment, he couldn’t help but remember that banquet in Feiyun Tower. Your plotting, targeting, exclusion, speaking in cryptic words I don’t understand... so what?
I still came!
Regarding Yuan Mengji being the last participant in the Shenxiao land, Yu Xin was uncertain in his heart but still tried to maintain a bright smile on his face: "Brother Yuan, you came too? I was just saying, today’s grand event is unprecedented, with treasures before us, we young talents from Mo Yun City were only missing you!"
Yuan Mengji, having already prepared words for a long time in his heart, instinctively laughed: "You know that the Great Ancestor Yuan Xianting personally sent me in?"
Only after saying that did he realize it was Yu Xin who spoke, and then he snorted coldly: "You despicable Little Monster, don’t speak to me!"
As for the likes of Zhu Zheng and Ken Xihua, who were insidious, they were one thing, but it was surprising that Yuan Mengji, who found it hard to hide his emotions, also showed such unfriendly attitudes, making Yu Xin even more puzzled.
But the name Yuan Xianting was truly deafening.
Suppressing his displeasure, the young Yu Zhen continued to smilingly probe: "Brother Yuan, what’s wrong? We weren’t like this in the past. I even invited you to a brothel before! I wonder where I offended you; could you tell me the reason, so I can apologize sincerely with a guilt offering?"
