Chapter 67 The Demonic Version of the Master Makes a Grand Appearance

But it's just a matter of going out to find medicine; it's not like I can't come back along the way.

Feng Huaijin was still thinking about finding some good things to give to Su Yu in the newly opened secret realm, but after this time, he would be going to a far place and wouldn't be able to come back whenever he wanted.

The range that a teleportation talisman can teleport to is still limited.

Three days before the four matches.

A luxurious and enormous airship was parked on the open ground. The other demons had already gone up to find their rooms, but there were still two demons below.

His face was gloomy.

"Su Yu, why aren't you going up?" Min Feng asked expressionlessly, arms crossed.

"Wait for the demon," Su Yu replied calmly, hands behind his back. "Why isn't Martial Uncle going up?"

Minfeng sighed silently: "Wait for the demon."

"They're here." Su Yu suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky to her left.

"Brother!" A voice, filled with barely suppressed joy, rang out, growing louder as it approached.

Su Yu naturally opened his arms and caught Feng Huaijin, who jumped down from the sword and hugged him.

...Twelve, you're really big!

After the hug, Feng Huaijin quietly stood close to Su Yu.

Hmm, no unusual thoughts, it seems the suppression is almost complete.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not back down.

Su Yu waited for Feng Huaijin, and didn't forget to ask her Uncle Minfeng, "Uncle, when will the demon you've been waiting for arrive?"

"Probably, we'll be there soon."

As soon as they finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation appeared in front of them.

A tall, elegant figure stepped out and stood still.

He wore a black robe with dark purple patterns representing lightning, and thunder seemed to rumble around him. His eyes were a deep, almost black purple, and his face was elegant, but his eyes were indifferent and ruthless.

Its aura was powerful, suggesting it had already entered the tribulation stage.

The stern-faced man said in a deep voice, "Minfeng, it's been a long time."

Minfeng's lips twitched, and he forced a response: "Long time no see."

Everyone knows who they are, so why are you still putting on this act?

"Hmph," Wu Xi snorted coldly, turned to Su Yu and Feng Huaijin, and said calmly, "What, you don't recognize your master after only a few years?"

Hurry up and speak, let Minfeng know that this is how he was when he accepted disciples!

The difference in appearance is too great; if it weren't for the familiar demonic aura, it would be difficult to recognize.

He exchanged a brief glance with Feng Huaijin, then promptly bowed and greeted him.

"Disciple greets Master."

We still need to consider our master's reputation.

Wu Xi was satisfied and raised an eyebrow triumphantly at Min Feng.

Minfeng sighed and waved his hand to shoo the demon away: "Now that everyone's here, hurry up and go up. Don't waste any time."

Once all the magic was complete, the enormous flying ship awoke and took off.

Besides Su Yu and her team who participated in the competition, many other disciples also went on this flying boat trip as spectators.

This is one of the reasons why Yuanfu used this luxurious giant flying ship.

Another reason is naturally to show the aura and strength of the Abyss Mansion in front of the demons outside.

Otherwise, if the flying boats used by the highest-ranking Yuanfu are not as good as those of other forces, wouldn't that just give the demons something to talk about?

This round of the competition is hosted by the Li Sha Sect, and they need to go to the Li Sha Sect's territory first.

The other three sects are the Dark Absolute Sect, the Ghost Puppet Sect, and the Bright Beast Sect.

It's unclear how the Killing Sect plans to conduct this round of competition.

It was still early, so most of the disciples didn't go back to their rooms but stayed in the hall, joking and chatting.

But as soon as Minfeng boarded the flying boat, he frowned at them.

The demons quickly dispersed in twos and threes.

"Senior brother, there are still a few questions I don't understand from that day..."

"Haha, no problem, no problem. I'll tell you more when we get back to your room."

"Oh dear, it's getting late. Junior sisters, let's go back to our rooms and cultivate together."

Minfeng turned to Su Yu and said, "You'll be staying in room B1."

The single rooms, designated as Room A, were divided up by the accompanying mentors. The personal disciples shared Room B with the two demons. The remaining two-demon and three-demon rooms were up to the other disciples to fight for based on their own abilities.

Su Yu thanked them and, together with Feng Huaijin, bid farewell to the two elders before returning to their room.

With no demons around, Minfeng walked calmly toward the location of Room A and transmitted his voice to Wuxi:

What is that?

Minfeng, however, took Wuxi's silence as a negative answer, and after a moment of silence, he silently transmitted his voice:

They are not yet confident that they can absolutely kill the current Demon Lord without leaving any future troubles.

More than ten years ago, the old lord was nearing the end of his life. As was customary, he should have left an oral decree to set the standards or assessments for the next lord, and the victor among the candidates would become the new lord.

However, it had only been about ten years since the new Demon Lord Wei Lan took office. He had just wiped out the remaining forces of the previous Demon Lord in the Demon Palace and replaced them with demons he had cultivated. After consolidating his position as Demon Lord, he thought of attacking the Yuan Mansion, which held a special position, to demonstrate his power.

The Demon Palace interfered in the succession of the Abyss Palace Master position.

During the old lord's final period, they firmly guarded the cave where the old lord resided, citing the demons' respect for the old lord and their decision to ensure his final peace, and forbidding any demons from entering or leaving.

After the old lord's death, they took his lord's decree and announced that only by eliminating the demons of the other candidates could one inherit the position of lord. Until a victor was determined, the lord's decree was held by the Demon Palace.

However, while Yuanfu can deal with the demons sent by the Demon Palace, it cannot deal with the Demon Lord who is in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Unless it involves the survival of Yuanfu or major events in the Demon Realm, the elders of Yuanfu who are in seclusion during the Tribulation Transcending stage will not easily emerge from their seclusion.

They will not concern themselves with the matter of the change of the prefect.

Moreover, the Demon Realm was already in turmoil due to the succession of Demon Lords, and other young demons who were capable of challenging the position of Demon Lord were either killed or crippled by Wei Lan.

If Yuanfu and the Demon Palace become enemies, the Demon Realm will only become more chaotic. Even if they are defeated, without a demon who can overpower all the demons in the Demon Realm to ascend to the position of Demon Lord, the Demon Realm will likely be drawn into endless conflicts between various forces.

The elders who ranked the importance of the Demon Realm first and the Abyss Palace second would never agree to this.

Having lost the old lord, a pillar of strength for the Yuan family, it also needs time for the next generation to grow up.

Only by biding our time and concealing our strength can we have the power to resist.

Therefore, whitewashing the situation becomes a good option.

If the goal is to minimize the cost, they can select their weakest disciples to compete for the position of head of the manor. In this way, even if a few die, it will not hinder the preservation of the top-tier forces of the Yuan Manor.

However, the reputation of their current generation of powerful demons has already spread far and wide. If the chosen demon is not right, it will be obvious at a glance. The demon race also cannot accept a weak person becoming the master of the Abyss Palace.

In the end, Wu Xi and Shu Yuanlan, who were the most famous at the time, stepped forward to compete fiercely, while other close associates gave up their candidacy.

When the news of the prefect's confirmation came back, the others were mentally prepared and expressed their understanding of Wuxi's actions of taking over but not returning to Yuanfu for many years.

As a demon who personally engaged in mutual slaughter, Wuxi must have been the one who suffered the most.

No one believed that Shu Yuanlan was still alive, after all, there were demons from the Demon Palace watching over her back then.

Yes, it's a good thing, right?

As expected of the two of them, even the most meticulous and rigid Minfeng had no doubts whatsoever.
