Inside a certain villa.
Elder Inorganic was fishing when he suddenly perceived something.
“Go check on Candle’s whereabouts,” he instructed.
Ripples spread through the void, and someone disappeared.
At the courtyard entrance, the voice of Elder White Fox could be heard growing closer, “What’s going on today? I sensed a murderous intent from afar. Who dared to offend you, Elder?”
“What are you here for?” Elder Inorganic glanced at her without showing any favor due to her being a woman.
“Oh dear, I’m unwelcome again. I actually wanted to share an opportunity with your Demon King, but since you find me annoying, let’s forget it.”
Just as White Fox was about to leave, Elder Inorganic’s voice reached her, “Would you like a drink?”
White Fox gave him a glance and gracefully settled opposite Elder Inorganic, “There’s no need to drink anything. I wouldn’t want to be a nuisance.”
Elder Inorganic poured her a cup of Spiritual Tea, “Let’s hear it.”
“I’ve received word that the Federation has unearthed a batch of new artifacts. I’ll provide the intel, and in return, your Demon King leads the team. We split the loot fifty-fifty. How does that sound?” White Fox proposed.
Elder Inorganic didn’t immediately respond, instead fiddling with the rim of his cup.
Seemingly growing impatient, White Fox pressed, “What’s your decision? If you don’t want it, just say so and I’ll leave.”
She made as if to move away.
Only then did Elder Inorganic slowly speak, “Are you referring to that ancient tomb in the Western Continent?”
White Fox smiled, “Elder, don’t play tricks on me, I only trust you and the Demon King with this matter. If there’s no deal to be made, I will take action myself immediately.”
But those words were just for show.
If she had the means to do it herself, she wouldn’t have thought to seek the Demon King’s help.
“Your matter involves too much risk,” Elder Inorganic shook his head, “Give the Demon King seventy percent.”
White Fox scoffed, “Tsk, you really underestimate the Demon King, Elder. He alone could take down a Seventh Rank Golden Angel. Isn’t this kind of thing a trifle for him?”
Elder Inorganic remained silent.
At that moment, a gentle breeze came through, and the water waved softly.
A mysterious figure enveloped in a white robe appeared, kneeling on one knee, “It’s been confirmed, Candle has left the Western Continent and is tracking the Demon King’s whereabouts.”
“Boom!”
The air exploded chaotically.
The murderous intent emanating from Elder Inorganic was almost tangible.
At this moment, even White Fox felt her heart pounding, but knowing what Elder Inorganic intended to do, she said gravely, “Don’t worry too much, Elder Candle won’t cause trouble…”
“He’s going too far!” Elder Inorganic said sternly.
White Fox paused, “You should know that the Demon Bone is important to Candle… and it’s on the Demon King. I will intervene.”
Elder Inorganic remained silent, staring coldly at White Fox.
At that instant.
White Fox felt a chill down her spine.
…
Within the forests between Da Peng City and Storm City.
Pei Jinye stared at the burly man in front of him wearing a blood-red mask, “What do you want?”
“[Anonymous] can deliver that to you, but I need a favor from you,” the burly man said slowly.
Pei Jinye watched cautiously, “What favor?”
The burly man didn’t answer right away, instead speaking slowly, “In this world, there’s never been anything that could actively absorb the Demon Bone. It only chooses its own sacrifices… ‘Demon King,’ your nickname is quite interesting. It seems to carry a certain fate with ‘demon’…”
Pei Jinye looked at him expressionlessly, then gestured for Silver Art, who shook his head and said in a lowered voice, “I’m fine, just suffered some internal injuries.”
Pei Jinye nodded and passed him a small pill to restore his Vitality.
Looking back at the burly man, Pei Jinye interrupted him, “I’m in a hurry. Can we skip the small talk and get to the point?”
The burly man wasn’t upset by Pei Jinye’s attitude; on the contrary, he looked at Pei Jinye with interest, “I’ve studied your behavior. You act on impulse and lack reverence for the powerful. Perhaps that’s how the Demon Bone subtly influences people. I can help you, but I need you to provide me with your blood.”
“Blood?” Pei Jinye sneered, “Why not just directly ask for my DNA?”
“Being too direct often breeds resentment, doesn’t it?” the burly man shrugged.
Pei Jinye replied calmly, “Your current approach is quite repulsive too.”
“That’s unfortunate. But you can’t bear the power of the Demon Bone. Either give me your blood, or hand over the Demon Bone to me,” the burly man said without any hesitation.
Pei Jinye’s expression turned cold, “And if I refuse?”
“I’m trying to help you. The Demon Bone is changing your will every moment. You cannot control it, and ultimately, you will become a sacrifice for the Demon God. I’ve discussed this with Inorganic before; he always thinks there are other solutions. But in truth, other than removing the Demon Bone from your body, there is no other solution,” he stated bluntly.
“So, you just want the Demon Bone. Why wrap your intentions in pompous words?”
Pei Jinye scoffed.
The burly man narrowed his eyes, “Don’t push me.”
As soon as he had spoken.
Pei Jinye’s figure vanished from the spot.
Behind him, a torrent of searing air currents erupted, and with a sonic boom, the air was left with a smell of burning.
The burly man watched expressionlessly as large gushes of soil rose into the air, unconcerned by the towering curtain before him.
The terrifying howls of the violent wind whipped up a heart-stopping shadow.
But then…
A pair of huge blood-red pupils emerged within the shadows.
“Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of Red Water, there lies Tail Mountain. There dwells a god, with a human face and a serpent’s body, and is red…”
Restrained and obscure phrases floated from the muscular man in the air above.
The gigantic figure appearing from the shadows seemed as though it were a surge breaching from the sea.
Yet, here was merely a stretch of mountain woods.
Still, the sound of sea waves crashing could be heard.
All of a sudden, using the Flash Escape’s Silver Art gave rise to palpable alarm.
“Demon King…”
She murmured to herself.
“Boom!”
A fist equally terrifying and immense appeared.
This punch was brutally vicious.
Bearing down with explosive force.
It caused the surrounding Gang Wind to whirl into disarray and burst.
It ruthlessly slammed onto the crimson giant’s shadow.
Instantly, a thunderous explosion erupted, and a veiled might burst forth at this moment.
It was like the noise of a pricked balloon resounding.
The huge blood-red figure shattered in all directions.
The muscular man’s voice paused.
Underneath the mask.
Those eyes revealed rare hesitation.
[This… shouldn’t be possible.]
“Boom!”
Without any warning, he reached out and grasped the fist Pei Jinye had thrown.
His gaze bore scrutiny and… incomprehension.
“Who exactly are you?”
“Me?”
Pei Jinye scoffed.
He delivered a merciless punch with a sideways shove!
“Boom!”
The muscular man’s figure vanished from the spot on the spot.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Behind him, towering ancient trees hundreds of meters tall seemed to snap under some terrifying force, with countless wood chips flying about.
Pei Jinye did not continue to advance.
Instead, he flashed to the side of the Silver Art-user, pulling her up: “Are you alright?”
Wiping blood from the corner of her mouth, the Silver Art-user shook her head: “I’m fine.”
“Let’s go,” Pei Jinye signaled.
The Silver Art-user nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind, and a scarlet trajectory, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, aimed straight for Pei Jinye’s back.
“Demon King, watch out!” the Silver Art-user shouted a warning, ready to cut off the incoming silver light.
But Pei Jinye was faster.
Time seemed to solidify.
He flipped his hand, and supreme Stamina gathered in that hand, reaching back to grasp.
The scarlet light burst upon his grip.
Pei Jinye turned his head to look at the figure within the ruins a hundred meters away: “Elder Candle, do you believe I would massacre all your subordinates if I were to look back?”
The muscular man flicked off the branches from his body: “Inorganic couldn’t have bred a monster like you, it must be the Demon Bone! The fact that you can wield the Demon Bone’s power is something that hasn’t happened in thousands of years, you… who exactly are you!”
Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze.
He was filled with the intent to kill.
However, the void trembled.
Three familiar figures emerged.
Elder Inorganic, Elder White Fox, and a trembling Lou Hai.
“Candle, you’re seeking death!” Elder Inorganic, noticing the condition of Pei Jinye and the Silver Art-user, immediately roared with fury as his terrifying power suddenly pressed toward the distant figure.
In an instant.

The sky seemed to collapse, and the earth split.
“Inorganic, you’re insane!!!” Amidst the massive rumble, the muscular man let out a cry of shock and anger.
Elder White Fox sighed, opting not to intervene.
He turned to look at Pei Jinye.
In a low voice, he said, “You lad… couldn’t possibly be Ninth Rank, could you?”
