Many were interested in the outco of Lanling’s great battle against the Black Demon Monarch, including the Little Rakshasa King, ng Tuoluo, Elder Mokan, Prince You Ming, and even the Rakshasa King.
But the only person truly concerned with life and death was the Master of Misfortune Cave!
After the news spread of Lanling’s overwhelming victory and the complete annihilation of the Demon Lord’s army, Elder Mokan spat blood, and ng Tuoluo nearly fainted. Though their reactions were intense, the damage to their interests was indirect.
Only the Master of Misfortune Cave was directly concerned with life and death!
Although he always believed Lanling would end up like an egg hitting a rock, dead without a doubt, he stayed in Rakshasa City during the entire battle to get the news imdiately.
Originally, in the competition for the Crown Prince, the Master of Misfortune Cave had no stance. In his heart, he believed the Little Rakshasa King to be the best heir. But because of Lanling, he had to stand on the side of Prince You Ming.
That night at the banquet, the Master of Misfortune Cave used extrely humiliating language to attack Lanling to show his stance.
Afterwards, he secluded himself, as he had to maintain his detached posture, being one of the Martial Arts leaders.
But upon hearing of Lanling’s overwhelming victory and the complete annihilation of the Demon Lord’s army.
All his decades of cultivated grandmaster deanor vanished without a trace.
Like everyone else, his first reaction was disbelief!
How could this be possible? Even if the sun rose in the west, it wouldn’t be possible.
Once the fact was fully confird, it turned into endless terror.
He knew deeply, whether it was Elder Mokan or Prince You Ming, their impact was indirect.
But the blow to the Master of Misfortune Cave was direct, concerning life and death.
Anyone could guess, as soon as Lanling annihilates the Demon Lord, his first return to the Fla Demon Banner would be to destroy Misfortune Cave.
Given Lanling’s vengeful nature, the Master of Misfortune Cave was undoubtedly dood.
Having presided over Misfortune Cave for more than a decade, the Master considered himself a grandmaster, unfazed by any storm or mountain collapse.
Yet, when facing a truly deadly crisis, he found his only reaction was not wanting to die.
Thus, he rushed to Prince You Ming’s mansion for help.
Because at that mont, the only one who could save him was Prince You Ming.
However, he did not see Prince You Ming.
How could Prince You Ming possibly show up at that ti? Lanling’s victory was too bizarre, and without understanding the origin of the million-strong Skeleton Army, why would Prince You Ming risk going against Lanling for the sake of a re Master of Misfortune Cave?
Not to ntion Prince You Ming, even the Rakshasa King had no desire to provoke Lanling at that ti.
Lanling was just too insane.
Just because Young Master Gutu tried to steal his wife, he annihilated millions at the Demon Banner, exterminating the thousand-year Demon Sky Clan.
Call it audacity or vengefulness, such a person was terrifying.
The Master of Misfortune Cave knelt outside Prince You Ming’s mansion for two days and nights, yet did not et Prince You Ming.
Afterwards, he went to kneel outside Elder Mokan’s residence for a day and a night, but didn’t see Elder Mokan either.
With nowhere else to turn, he went to kneel outside the Little Rakshasa King’s mansion for a day and a night, again without eting the Little Rakshasa King.
However, he did et Princess Sha Yan.
At the ti, Princess Sha Yan was leading a ten-thousand strong team, carrying countless gold and silver treasures back to the Fla Demon Banner territory.
The Master of Misfortune Cave desperately kowtowed for help, even knocking his head until blood flowed.
But Princess Sha Yan only coldly said one thing: "Wait for death!"
Utterly hopeless, the Master of Misfortune Cave returned to Misfortune Cave to either prepare for a battle or a response.
...
In preparation for the greatest crisis in history, all mbers of the Misfortune Cave who were traveling or training outside returned.
After a full day and night’s closed-door eting,
Misfortune Cave prepared two plans: the first was to send emissaries to other Martial Arts forces for aid before Lanling’s army returned to the Fla Demon Banner, not excluding the Five Grandmasters’ forces.
The second plan was to adopt a surrender strategy if no aid ca.
The Master of Misfortune Cave would step down and go to Fla Demon City to plead guilty, exchanging his life for Misfortune Cave’s safety, taking all the bla upon himself.
Days and nights passed.
All the hundreds of emissaries sent out returned with the sa result.
The entire Rakshasa Domain, all twenty-three Martial Arts forces rejected Misfortune Cave’s plea for help.
As for the Five Grandmasters’ forces, none even allowed entry past their gates.
This result was not surprising; the Demon Lord was imnsely strong but was completely annihilated. The impact on the Rakshasa Domain was too great—who would dare oppose Lanling for a re Misfortune Cave? That would be courting death!
Therefore, there was no choice but to sacrifice the Master of Misfortune Cave to preserve the entire Misfortune Cave.
At that mont, the voice of the Fla Demon Banner envoy ca from outside: "Where is the Master of Misfortune Cave? Co out and receive my lord’s decree!"
The voice was very young and familiar.
The forr Black Demon Banner Master’s eldest son, originally nad Nai Wu, now renad Hei Naiwu.
According to protocol, the status of the Master of Misfortune Cave was on par with the Fla Demon Banner-Master Lanling. Lanling should personally visit Misfortune Cave, or at least send the Black Demon Banner Master Hei Zhou.
Yet, sending only Hei Zhou’s son made the intention to belittle Misfortune Cave painfully clear.
