"He... he was thrown out to the outer perimeter." The black-clad demon envoy was somewhat embarrassed. "I was the one who threw him out..."

Xia Xiang: "......" I've completely lost face!

Tech Security: This is none of your business!

Soon after, all twenty-four demon servants arrived.

"Go, get out of here quickly after you're done. I don't want to see you again," Gu Youyou said, switching to a different game and telling her to leave.

"Ahem, quiet down," the black-clad demon envoy called out to restore order, and the twenty-four demon servants instantly lined up. "Speak."

"yes!"

"Everyone should have received the news by now, the demon-slaying warriors have entered the valley. Unfortunately, one of the twelve demon warriors was killed," the black-clad demon envoy said sorrowfully.

"To encourage everyone to bravely fight against those damned demon-slaying warriors, and to thank everyone for their long-term dedication to their work, we are now offering a promotion opportunity."

A commotion erupted below, with the demonized figures' eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"The rules are simple," the black-clad demon envoy said, pointing to Xia Xiang behind him. "There are twenty-five of you competing, and the one who remains will be promoted."

The shouts of "Yes!" were deafening.

The twenty-four men looked at Xia Xiang with sharp eyes. She seemed the weakest among them, so of course they would pick on the weakest one first.

"The Eight Arts of Subduing Demons, Second Art, Demon Suppression Art, Si Kua Qu Shi Wu - Wu La Ba Ha!" Xia Xiang's superpower index soared, stopping at 12,000 points.

These twenty-four demon servants are basically on par with the demons, estimated to be around 10,000 points, close to 20,000. Xia Xiang can only suppress one demon at a time, but combined with her Demon-Slaying Slash, the fight is evenly matched.

——

"Destroy the Demon Soul"

The Demon-Slaying Slash once again reaped the head of a demon.

When high-level demons are killed, they all turn into black mist and dissipate, leaving no corpses behind, so the scene is not unsightly.

After the match, only Xia Xiang and six demon servants remained, both sides were exhausted.

"Brothers, let's take a break." Xia Xiang's braided ponytail had come undone, her hair was disheveled and hanging down her back, and she had many wounds of varying sizes on her body. She was panting heavily.

"Have you ever thought about this? It's not worth risking your life for a promotion."

This Rocky Valley is completely disorderly; it seems to have a clear hierarchy, but in reality, it's all a bunch of rip-offs.

The efforts of those above misled the demon-slaying warriors to go outside and kill wandering spirits, not wanting to be killed themselves.

But these high-level beings don't want to advance to the next level, as if advancing to the next level is tantamount to courting death.

"Then why are you still working so hard?" one of the burly men said stubbornly.

“First, you started it,” Xia Xiang said, sitting down on the ground. “Second, I just wanted to kill you.”

The six demon servants looked at each other blankly. "..." What you said is as good as saying nothing at all.

“It’s different. I’m after freedom, you’re after promotion. Our goals are different.”

Xia Xiang then began to play the emotional card, "I came to Bamo Island when I was six years old. It's been six years, and I haven't seen my family. I'm really miserable."

While crying her heart out, she checked the bracelet Bai Yu had given her. The energy bar was full, so she should have passed the test by now. What was going on?

At this moment, the black-clad demon envoy emerged, emanating black energy, and coldly commanded those present: "Stop talking nonsense! She's stalling for time. Attack her together and finish her off!"

Then he pressed down on the complex crimson incantations on his wrist and mumbled incantations.

"Damn it!" Xia Xiang was furious. "You even called people over. I really want to wipe you all out."

If he wasn't mistaken, Old Black was the mysterious person who had been watching her ever since she stepped into Rock Valley.

Seeing her outside the light source, he simply brought the old white man to lure her out. He hoped she would stay, thus connecting with the Demon Realm and sending her away directly…

Unfortunately, their strength was underestimated, so now they have no choice but to step forward themselves.

She felt that Demon Island was doomed.

Bai Yu: I told you not to trust anyone!

The remaining six demon servants rushed forward, but were thrown back several meters by a burst of bright light as they approached Xia Xiang.

The black-clad demon envoy roared in disbelief, "How could you possibly still have extra energy!"

"You go down first, I'll burn paper money to tell you later!" Xia Xiang aimed the magnolia bow, which glowed with white light, at the black-clad demon envoy.

"Wait, don't you want to know why?" The black-clad demon envoy looked extremely flustered.

"Tell me in a dream, I don't want to know right now," Xia Xiang replied impatiently.

A blinding white light pierced through the black-clad demon's protective shield, penetrated his body, and instantly turned him to ashes.

"I play games because I find them fun, not for you guys to play!" Xia Xiang's long hair was disheveled, and her eyes held a ruthlessness beyond her years. "I don't even trust Huai'an, why would I trust a demon like you?"

She was "kidnapped" to this place because she trusted people too much.

"Now there are only two of the four demon envoys left, you know what I mean," Xia Xiang said, floating in mid-air and looking down at the demon servants on the ground.

The demon servants looked warily at their teammates who had just fought side by side, and then they fell into chaos.

Xia Xiang killed the demon envoy with a single arrow; if they went up, they would only be reduced to ashes. They could only fight those they could defeat.

In the end, only one demonic being remained, barely able to stand upright.

——

“I knew you were the one who should be the Valley Master,” Gu Youyou floated out, looking at Xia Xiang with admiration.

"Have I ever said that you're like a giant helium balloon?" Xia Xiang adjusted her height in mid-air to look him in the eye. "You're not thinking of making a move too, are you?"
