Thwack!
A huge explosion shook the canyon. Part of the debris of the canyon that had collapsed was blown away. And the scene that was revealed.
Surprisingly, Banjeok Myeong and Xue Fuyong were visible.
Xue Fuyong was kneeling next to the body of her master, the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
When Xue Fuyong was able to see her master's miserable appearance, tears stread down her face.
She held her master's hand and did not move for a long ti.
Banjeok Myeong, who knew the pain of losing a master, quietly stayed by her side.
A long ti passed like that.
"My master said she wanted to beco the wind. I want to burn her body and send it with the wind."
Xue Fuyong held her master's body. And she walked along the canyon.
Banjeok Myeong followed her silently.
A mont later.
A fla soared fiercely on the top of a nearby mountain.
It was the fire that was burning the body of the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
After half an hour, only the ashes that had burned fiercely remained.
Xue Fuyong gathered the ashes with her two hands and scattered them in the wind. The wind carried everything away, and Xue Fuyong wiped her last tears.
After a long ti, Banjeok Myeong looked at Xue Fuyong.
"Sister, if you want revenge, I'll help you."
"How? Are you going to kill all the masters of the nine great sects of the Demonic Path?"
"If you want, I want to do that."
Banjeok Myeong wanted to do anything for her. And Xue Fuyong wanted revenge.
***
Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province.
The Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave, where the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival was held, was located in a valley north of the Qilian Mountains.
Although it was called a cave, it was not actually a cave but a huge ice valley. It was a place where the entrance of the ice valley was blocked by a stone gate several feet high.
In front of the stone gate several feet high that was blocking the entrance of the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave, a wide space that could be called a plaza was spread out. It was a place where the bedrock had been cut like a flat ground while making the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
Now, a group of thousands of demonic path martial artists had gathered in that plaza.
They were the nine great sects of the Demonic Path, excluding the Heavenly Pavilion, and the martial artists of the Demonic Path who had gathered to confirm the results of the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival with their own two eyes.
The nine great sects of the Demonic Path, excluding the Heavenly Pavilion, were divided into two groups.
In the east were the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family, the Mukcheon Demonic God Sect, the Demonic Path Tower, and the Hongyeom Gwangpung Family.
In the west, the flags of the Asura Blood Demon Family, the Blood Demon Sea, the White Horse Tomb, and the Four Spirits Demonic Realm were visible.
Not only that, but the flags of the twelve gates of the Demonic Path and the seventy-two sects of the Demonic Path that followed them were also divided into two sides.
The number was slightly larger on the west side where the Asura Blood Demon Family was, and in terms of the weight of the na, the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family side seed a little better.
Two seats were prepared in the center of the plaza.
And there, two people were sitting majestically like thousand-year-old trees.
They were the master of the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family, Tie Gundo, and the master of the Asura Blood Demon Family, Sima Deokjo.
Sima Deokjo lifted the wine cup on the table, brought it to his mouth, took a sip, and then looked back at Tie Gundo.
"Since it's been quiet for three days, it must be over, right?"
"Unless Dugu Wujung ca back alive, there would be no one who could survive there."
The two, who had received a ssage from Elder Tian of the Heavenly Pavilion, had dispatched masters and had told them to stay there for three more days and watch after burying the person who was said to have obtained the Immortal Demonic Aura in the canyon.
But it was said that the canyon was quiet even after three days.
So he must have died.
If such a huge canyon collapsed, they themselves could not survive. In addition, a wave of attacks from the masters right below them had been added.
Who would dare to survive!
No matter how great the Immortal Demonic Aura was, it would not be truly immortal. If it were truly immortal, it would not be such a brat, but Dugu Wujung who would have appeared.
'I'm even doubtful if it's the real Immortal Demonic Aura. It might have been used in a trick by that brat Elder Tian to get rid of the Heavenly Pavilion Master. If that's the case, Elder Tian will have to pay the price.'
Tie Gundo thought so and turned his head.
The Jade-Faced Demonic Demon, who was in charge of the proceedings, was watching this side, and when Tie Gundo nodded his head, he shouted loudly with his internal energy.
"Hidden demons, step forward!"
When the voice of the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon echoed loudly, about ten young martial artists from both camps stepped forward.
From the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family side, the dignified Tie Paigang stood at the front, and from the Asura Blood Demon Family side, the tall and handso Sima Long was at the front.
The two led the rising stars of the Demonic Path who followed them and moved to the center of the plaza.
"It's been a while."
Tie Paigang spoke first.
As always, even a single word was full of dignity.
"Three tis. I'll knock you down three tis. If that happens, submit completely."
Sima Long said with a grin.
He looked so confident that he seed arrogant.
"Good. The one who falls down three tis first loses. Then you have to submit completely."
"When I co out of the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave and stand in this spot, everyone will have to bow their heads before ."
Sima Long said, sweeping his gaze over Tie Paigang and those who followed him.
At that, those who followed Tie Paigang were agitated, but Tie Paigang raised his hand and stopped them.
"A martial artist speaks with his martial arts, not his mouth."
Saying that, Tie Paigang, who turned towards the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
It was clear that he was confident that he would not be shaken no matter what Sima Long said.
At that, those who followed him also grinned and stood towards the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
"Hmph!"
Sima Long snorted coldly and turned around.
When the brief confrontation ended like that, the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon shouted clearly with his internal energy so that everyone could hear.
"The iron rule of the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival is simple. The winner takes all! The loser submits!"
It ant that the winner takes everything and the loser must submit completely.
Since it had been announced in advance, not only the participants, but also those who had gathered to watch the results were all aware of it.
"Everything is allowed inside the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave. Defeat your opponent without caring about the ans and thods! Only the winner will take everything, so open that stone gate and take the glory of coming out with dignity!"
With the shout of the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon, the blood of the participants began to boil.
At the montum they were exuding, the energy of those watching from afar also began to boil.
The land of the Demonic Path!
The world of the demons!
The montum of the ferocious martial artists living there began to shake the plaza.
But it was at this ti.
The master of the Asura Blood Demon Family, Sima Deokjo, looked at the wine cup in front of him with his two eyes full of doubt.
A ripple.
A ripple that spread in a circle in the wine cup.
And a slight vibration.
Sima Deokjo turned his head and looked back at the master of the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family, Tie Gundo.
He also had a questioning face, as if he had sensed it.
"What on earth...!"
The mont Sima Deokjo opened his mouth.
A clearly felt vibration.
Thud!
A vibrating sound coming from a very far, dizzying place.
The mont Sima Deokjo lifted his head and moved his gaze to find the source.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The vibration rapidly approached.
The mont the thousands of demonic path martial artists gathered in the plaza felt the vibration and began to look around.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo were the first to look south, and then the masters of the other nine great sects of the Demonic Path turned around. And soon, at so point when even the demonic path martial artists gathered in the plaza began to look back one by one.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A dizzying point suddenly grew larger, soared high into the air, and then plunged into the middle of the plaza.
Thud!
The entire plaza shook.
The thousands of demonic path martial artists looked at the center of the plaza.
A man and a woman!
A young man with a moderate build and a moderately good-looking appearance, and a beautiful woman with a white face whose beauty could not be hidden even with her ssy and disheveled hair.
"Isn't, isn't that Xue Fuyong?"
"I think so."
"What, is the Heavenly Pavilion also participating?"
"Is Xue Fuyong participating?"
"It must be that one. You just saw it! The bizarre and trendous lightness skill!"
"Ah!"
There were murmurs here and there.
In the anti, Xue Fuyong, who had swept her gaze over the arena once, shouted loudly.
"The Heavenly Pavilion will also participate in this Hidden Demon's Grand Festival!"
For a mont, the entire plaza beca quiet.
And in the anti, the master of the Demonic Path Tower and the master of the Blood Demon Sea, who had attacked Banjeok Myeong and the Heavenly Pavilion Master in the canyon, hurriedly ran towards Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo.
It was probably to confirm that Banjeok Myeong and Xue Fuyong were the people who had been buried in the canyon.
Xue Fuyong stared at them with eyes full of killing intent and stepped forward first so that Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo, who were presiding over the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival, could not play any other tricks to prevent Banjeok Myeong's participation.
"The Pavilion Master of the main pavilion passed away on the way here, attacked by traitors and vicious schers! Before the Pavilion Master took her last breath, she entrusted the Heavenly Pavilion to , her disciple! Therefore, as the new Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion, I demand that you let Banjeok Myeong of the main pavilion participate in the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival!"
At the sa ti as she shouted, Xue Fuyong raised her left hand high.
At that mont, a white light was emitted from her hand and ford the shape of a bird. Although it was still faint, anyone could see that it was the shape of the White Vermilion Bird, the symbol of the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
Xue Fuyong's shout that the Heavenly Pavilion Master had died and the shape of the White Vermilion Bird, the symbol of the Heavenly Pavilion Master!
A great commotion arose in the plaza once again.
In the anti, the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon looked at Tie Gundo and waited for his order on what to do.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo stared at Banjeok Myeong with seriously hardened faces.
The one who had survived the collapse of the canyon.
How should they accept this?
Was he really a descendant of the Immortal Divine Demon?
It was a serious matter.
But at this ti, Sima Deokjo, who had been staring at Banjeok Myeong and lost in thought, straightened his frowned face and said.
"If you think about it differently, if that brat had mastered the Immortal Demonic Aura, would there be any reason for him to participate in the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival?"
"......!"
At Sima Deokjo's words, Tie Gundo's eyes widened.
That was right.
If he had mastered the Immortal Demonic Aura, he would be stronger than anyone in this place. No, even if everyone in this place rushed at him, they could not be his opponent. So there was no reason or cause to participate in the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival.
Because it would be enough to assert the authority of the Immortal Divine Demon and exert the Immortal Demonic Aura.
"We can leave it to the children."
"I think the sa. It's been three years since I've thought the sa as you."
The last ti was when they had decided to go against their lord, the Immortal Divine Demon.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo smiled at each other and then gestured with their hands to call Tie Paigang and Sima Long.
Tie Paigang and Sima Long were already complete martial artists.
Since they knew that the righteous faction was raising the Divine Martial Stage, they had poured everything into raising them in the Big Dipper Iron Horse Family and the Sun Demon Family to prepare for it. The other nine great sects of the Demonic Path were also the sa. They had all mobilized everything they had to raise their descendants. So if all those children were to attack together, even Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo themselves could not guarantee it.
"That child will also participate. You two, join hands and dispose of that child first."
When Tie Paigang and Sima Long approached, Sima Deokjo said.
At Sima Deokjo's words, Tie Paigang and Sima Long frowned.
Seeing that, Tie Gundo intervened.
"You must attack together. Your competition is after that brat's breath is completely cut off. Don't forget. That there is a common enemy now. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Tie Paigang answered.
He knew better than anyone how proud a martial artist his father, Tie Gundo, was. There must be a good reason for such a martial artist to order a joint attack.
Tie Paigang looked back at Sima Long.
"I will entrust my back to you until we kill that brat."
At Tie Paigang's words, Sima Long's brow furrowed even more.
His pride was hurt.
'What on earth is that brat!'
At this ti, Sima Deokjo, who knew Sima Long's arrogance better than anyone, said sternly.
"I am speaking as the master of the Asura Blood Demon Family and as the leader of the Demonic Path. Even if it is my son, if you disobey my order and that brat cos out alive, I will punish you first."
At Sima Deokjo's stern words, Sima Long could only nod his head.
"I will not give you my back."
Sima Long said, looking back at Tie Paigang.
When Tie Paigang and Sima Long accepted the situation like that, Tie Gundo nodded his head towards the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon.
The Jade-Faced Demonic Demon looked around the plaza and then shouted loudly.
"The challenger of the Heavenly Pavilion is also allowed to participate in the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival! Open the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave!"
As the words of the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon fell, a roar burst out and the heavy stone gate began to open on both sides. And a cold wind poured out from the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
Like a long, long shadow of a demon.
Like a passage leading to hell.
A huge, gloomy ice valley was revealed.
"Challengers, enter the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave imdiately!"
The words of the Jade-Faced Demonic Demon fell.
Tie Paigang and Sima Long looked at each other and then moved their steps.
Tie Paigang turned his gaze to Banjeok Myeong while heading to the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
Banjeok Myeong spoke with Xue Fuyong and then moved towards the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
As a result, a mont later, he was walking side by side with Tie Paigang, with a few steps of distance between them.
"I don't know what your identity is. But I know this for sure. That you will definitely regret entering the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave!"
Tie Paigang made a determined face.
At those words, Banjeok Myeong looked back. And he answered with a blank face.
"You seem confident?"
He deliberately asked like that and twisted his lips into a smile.
At that sight, everyone was enraged as if they were having a seizure, and especially Sima Long glared at him as if to eat him.
"That brat's tongue is mine. I'm going to pull it out and tear it to shreds, so no one touch it."
Those who knew Sima Long's cruelty flinched.
Banjeok Myeong swept his gaze over such reactions and said.
"Defeat . And then pull out my tongue and tear it to shreds. If you just do that, the Heavenly Pavilion will also be yours."
"What?"
"The new Pavilion Master has made a proposal to you. That she will give the Pavilion Master herself and the Heavenly Pavilion to the one who defeats ."
A great shock swept through.
To get the Heavenly Pavilion.
The Heavenly Pavilion with its imnse wealth.
Even if you won the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival, you would only get a handful of fa. Of course, it was also that you would be given the qualification to beco the one and only demonic master of the Demonic Path in the future. But that was also not sothing that was directly given into your hands.
But the Heavenly Pavilion was different.
You would get the financial power that could overturn the situation of the Demonic Path. If any one of the nine great sects of the Demonic Path were to get the Heavenly Pavilion, it would rise above everyone else in one go.
Greed appeared on Sima Long's face.
It was not just Sima Long. Everyone had a face that was drooling.
"How can we believe that?"
Tie Paigang asked a question that awakened everyone. Everyone stared at Banjeok Myeong with a face that said 'answer Tie Paigang's question'.
Banjeok Myeong held up his hand instead of words.
A white ring was on his finger.
"The Vermilion Bird's Flying Ring!"
Tie Paigang muttered in surprise.
"Anyone who takes this will beco the master of the Heavenly Pavilion."
Everyone coveted the Vermilion Bird's Flying Ring.
Banjeok Myeong swept his gaze over everyone and clenched his fist.
"The Heavenly Pavilion has wagered everything of the Heavenly Pavilion. If you want this, you also wager everything you have. That is the condition."
They arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave.
A deep and huge ice valley.
A cold wind that seed to freeze to the bone.
The Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave was also the beginning of the huge footprint left by the Immortal Divine Demon, so it was also a symbol of awe to the demonic path people of this era.
In front of that awe, even Tie Paigang and Sima Long stopped their steps. But Banjeok Myeong did not care and went in first with a swagger.
The faces of Tie Paigang and Sima Long beca even colder, and they hurriedly moved their steps. And following the two, the rising stars of the Demonic Path entered the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave with faces full of greed and killing intent.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
It was the sound of the stone gate of the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave closing.
