"Master, please be at ease. I will definitely go see the Little Princess!"

His master had secretly sent the little princess to the proper sects to cultivate. It was not because he loathed the little princess, but because he did not want her to be like his master, a target of hatred and pursuit.

When he was first brought back to the sect, the little princess had yet to leave and had met him a few times. Not long after, she was secretly sent to the Hollow Jade Sect by her master.

He had heard from his master that when the little princess had entered the Hollow Jade Sect, she had been accepted by Wen Shu as a personal disciple because she had a rare top-grade Water Spirit Root.

"Un, pack your things and get ready to go down the mountain!"

"Remember, my dear disciple, don't try to be brave in the face of trouble. You must preserve your life and come back. I only have this disciple of mine …"

If it was before, Zhong Li would ask a genius if he was like an old lady, nagging endlessly.

Faced with his master's nagging and warning, Shentu Changsheng could not bear it and directly spoke out, interrupting him.

"Alright, Master!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back in one piece!"

"Let's go!"

Looking at the departing back view of his beloved disciple, Zhong Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, that brat from back then grew up!"

He had been waiting for his disciple to go down the mountain and cut the weeds at the roots. His beloved disciple had gone down the mountain, but Zhong Li Tian did not dare to send his disciple off with a big mouth, so he could only follow his disciple quietly and protect him from the shadows until he was safe.

"… …"

As the saying went, Fu Yun brought Chi Dan and Tian Ci into the small city. In less than two hours, he hurriedly left. This sort of scene had occurred countless times, and Tian Ci could no longer remember just how many times it had happened.

The city of Song was different from other cities. Spirit beasts could be seen everywhere. Scarlet Cores appearing in small cities was not unusual. The only thing that caused panic was its identity as a fake Demon King.

As the saying goes, a hooligan is not scary, but terrifying and uncultured.

The identity of a fake Demon King was already frightening enough, yet Chi Dan still dared to say he was filthy, like a mountain villager, and that made them even more intimidated.

With it, who would dare to ask about the future?

But then again, it wasn't easy for Heaven's Gift and Fuyun to make a living in the city without it, so they couldn't really blame it.

No one came to ask about the price of seashells, and there was no room and board for them. The two humans and one beast had to leave the small town and go out into the wild.

As they left the small city, they passed by many villages. Along the way, the villagers heard that Chi Dan had arrived. They closed their doors and refused to meet any guests, giving up any hope of staying the night.

"F * ck! If you don't let me in, I won't even go in!"

The villagers declined to entertain the guests, as this was not the first time they had encountered such a scene. Both Heaven's Gift and Fu Yun were in a good mood, and only Chi Dan grumbled about the villagers.

"Haha, you still have the nerve to complain? Isn't this all your fault!"

"I already warned you that you're not allowed to speak where there are people. You didn't listen and scared me away, right? Serves you right!"

Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't get a client, he was still very happy to see everyone avoiding the little pill and finally finding an opportunity to ridicule it.

With the protection of the Hollow Jade Sect, the Song City had a lot of cultivators. Other than a small number of cultivators, most of them belonged to foreign sects.

The foreign cultivators could be divided into two parts. One part was for the disciples who went out to gain experience, while the other part was for the rogue cultivators.

Rogue cultivators referred to cultivators who were not part of any sect.

These cultivators either had their sects destroyed or had no one to rely on. They either obtained cultivation methods by chance, betrayed the sect, or were abandoned by the sect.

Especially in the past ten years, the number of foreign cultivators had increased several times compared to the past. The origin of this phenomenon was 13 years ago.

Thirteen years ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. The two races believed that a strange treasure had appeared in the world. They all gathered in the Sun Arising Forest, causing the destruction of the Shentu Clan.

After that, the "Contract for the Peace between the Human and Demon Tribes" was abolished. The Demon God's Sect Master saved the remaining bloodline of the Shentu Clan and was chased by the righteous humans and the demons.

The end of the "Contract for the Peace between the Human and Demon Tribes" had brought disaster to the entire world, and there were often attacks by Demon Beasts on cities and towns.

Within thirteen years, Shentu Changsheng had cultivated and urgently needed a large amount of blood essence. The Demon God's Sect also did not stop there and began to gather blood essence from both cultivators and demon beasts.

Because of this, all the cultivators of the world, in order to seek refuge, went to the cities under the protection of the large sects, causing the big cities under their protection to be packed with people.

Of the five great Immortal Sects, only the Hollow Jade Sect had the most cultivators under its jurisdiction.

The reason for this was simple. The Hollow Jade Sect had left behind hope for the cultivators, a hope to find Shentu Shun and a hope to become an immortal.

For the sake of this elusive hope, almost half of the rogue cultivators under the heavens came to visit.

For this elusive hope, no matter how big or small the sect was, they would send spies to hide in Song City.

For the sake of this elusive hope, the area under the jurisdiction of the Hollow Jade Sect had become the sect disciple's training ground of choice.

Within the city, there were large cities, small villages, and even mountain forests. Cultivators could be seen everywhere. On the way, god knows how many times he had met them.

A "Demon King" had appeared in the city. Its appearance, personality and nickname were all clearly described. Everyone in the city knew that Chi Dan was not a famous person.

Along the way, they would either take a detour or run. No one dared to stay behind.

"… …"

The sky had just darkened, and a fire had been ignited within a forest. Four people sat cross-legged next to the fire. They did not have any rest, and were currently discussing something.

The four of them wore the same fiery red daoist robe with their hair tied in a bun. They looked to be around thirty years of age. Perhaps Heaven's Gift and Chi Dan did not know the origins of these four people, but Fu Yun did.

The four of them wore Dao robes with a fire dragon symbol on them. This was the special attire that only the Yan Sect wore. Based on their cultivation auras, it was obvious that the four of them were disciples of the Yan Sect.

That's right, these four people were Yan Zong's disciples.

As a spy, his cultivation base was too high and an accident occurred. In these chaotic times of demons and humans, the losses sustained by the sect were not small. Since his cultivation was too low and he could not get any information, the sect could only send out three generations of disciples.

Among the four of them, the eldest was named Huang, the second was called Zi Ji, the third was called Baldy Peak, and the fourth was called Mi Jun.

The four of them belonged to the average talent, status, and cultivation of the three generations of disciples within the sect. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent by the sect to Song Nü to find out about this matter and not be able to return to the sect for many years.

"Motherf * cker, I've had enough. It's been thirteen years and I still haven't found out anything about that child. How long will it be before I find out?"

It had taken him thirteen years to find out anything about a child. No wonder that person was so angry.

"Brother is right. Perhaps that child is already dead!"

It turned out that the prisoners were the boss of all four of them. No wonder they were able to act so recklessly and without any reservations.

Faced with the boss' complaints, the second brother liked to flatter and flatter the boss, and so he did as he was told.

"Big brother, the vice sect master is serious. It's been thirteen years and he still isn't willing to give up. Isn't it obvious that he's tormenting others?"

He had been in Song City for thirteen years and had been searching for his son who had disappeared for thirteen years. He was in a terrible mood, so when he saw that his big brother was in jail, he went along with him.

"How dare you! Don't want to die! How dare you question the Vice Sect Leader's decision!"

He had never doubted the vice sect master's order. When he heard that Third Bro Baldy was disrespectful to the vice sect master, he immediately shouted at him to stop.

"Big brother, I know I was wrong!"

The four of them were well aware of the vice sect master's temper. If they let him know that someone was speaking ill of him behind his back, they would definitely punish him harshly.

Now that he had accidentally said something bad about the Vice Sect Leader, if the Boss spread it to the Vice Sect Leader, he would definitely be punished. Baldy's face was deathly pale, and he was extremely scared, almost kneeling down and admitting his mistake.

"Big brother, the 'Monster King' has appeared in the city. Tell me, what should we do?"

Amongst the four of them, the only one who didn't say anything was Mi Junjun, who was still rational. His boss was still angry, so he didn't go and flatter them. Instead, he started thinking about how to deal with the "Demon King".

"What else can we do? We'll report the news of the 'Monster King' to the sect first!"

The four of them were originally hiding in the four cities of East, South, West, and North to inquire about the news of the child.

With the strength of four people, it was impossible for them to withstand a single blow from the Monster King. Killing was impossible, and the only option left was to report the news to the sect and wait for their orders.

"Big Brother, the news of the 'Monster King' will definitely spread to the sect. I'm just worried that the 'Monster King' will suddenly attack Tu Cheng. We are not the match, so how should we deal with it!"

Mi Jun didn't have the guts to attack the Monster King, he was only worried about how to deal with Chi Dan who suddenly attacked the city.

"For now, we can only avoid the 'Demon King'!"

"Isn't it in the West City? If we go to the East City, even if it suddenly attacks us, this is the main city under the protection of the Hollow Jade Sect. The Hollow Jade Sect will definitely not stand by and do nothing."

Having the mission and fleeing without permission was akin to betraying the sect.

Once he betrayed the sect, he would be hunted down by the sect, and even after his death, he wouldn't be able to leave the city and give up his mission.

"Alright!"

If the Demon King suddenly launched an attack, the consequences would be severe. If they weren't worried about the punishment from the sect, the three of them would have definitely temporarily left the city to seek refuge. Although the boss' suggestion wasn't necessarily the best solution, it was still a good one, so they had no choice but to agree.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. As soon as the four of them came to a decision, before they could make a move, their main target had arrived at their doorstep.

Entering into the big city, it caused quite a stir for everyone. As a last resort, Fu Yun had no choice but to bring along Tian Ci and Chi Dan to rest during the day and travel at night.

As Tian Ci and Chi Dan grew up, their speed became much faster. It didn't even take two hours to travel between two small towns. Within a day, they would be able to travel through at least a few small towns.

Not long after dark, Fuyun began to hurry on his way with his Heaven's Gift and Scarlet Pill.

Not long after he had set out on his journey, he saw that he had passed through a forest and was about to enter the next town. Suddenly, Chi Dan noticed a fire burning in the distant mountain, and he ran past the immortal master and his companions into the mountains.

"Who are you people?"
