"How dare you speak so disrespectfully to the Holy Maiden! You're courting death!"
Elder Shi rebuked him angrily.
Lu Chen laughed instead and said, "Flirtatious? You underestimate me too much. We were the first two people to arrive in this hall. Back then, there was no light barrier to stop us. We were a lone man and a lone woman, and we did all sorts of things. You don't believe me? Ask it!"
After saying that, Lu Chen pointed to the Demon King Ye Sang, who was separated into another area.
Upon hearing this, Elder Shi subconsciously looked at Ye Sang, his expression changing.
Situ Jing was furious and stood up angrily, shouting, "Nonsense! Nothing happened between us! Don't make things up!"
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "You think it didn't happen just because you don't admit it? Heh, anyway, we're stuck here and don't know when we'll be able to get out. Once I get out, I'll spread this news, and then your reputation as a Holy Maiden will be ruined!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen looked at Elder Shi and said, "Why don't you tell us where this place is and how to get out? In exchange, I will keep it a secret and absolutely will not tell anyone. How about that?"
"You're threatening my Demonic Sect?"
Elder Shi's expression grew even colder.
"How can this be called a threat?"
A strange smile appeared on Lu Chen's face as he said, "This is clearly intimidation."
Elder Shi sneered upon hearing this, not taking it seriously at all.
However, at that moment, Lu Chen suddenly took out a knife and unleashed a move called Blood Fang Sky Rush, in which crimson crescent moons shot out instantly.
Elder Shi was completely stunned.
He was very familiar with this move; it was a closely guarded secret of their Demonic Sect, and only the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect and a very few high-ranking members were qualified to practice it.
Situ Jing was also stunned.
Situ Jing had only used this move once before, when she was fighting Lu Chen, but she never expected that Lu Chen would steal it.
Now it's like mud has fallen into your pants; there's no way to explain it.
As expected, Elder Shi stared at Situ Jing, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"Elder Shi, I didn't! It was him... he stole our Demonic Sect's secret techniques! Nothing happened between us, you have to believe me."
Situ Jing was truly panicked.
If people found out that she, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, was colluding with righteous people and had lost her virginity, not only would she lose her position as Holy Maiden, but she would probably lose her life as well.
"Now you believe me, right?"
Lu Chen shrugged.
Elder Shi's mind raced. No matter what, Lu Chen had to die. But he couldn't do anything to him in this hall. Once they got out, he would definitely kill everyone who knew about this.
As for Situ Jing's innocence, that's easy to say; they can just check her body after she gets out.
However, if Lu Chen doesn't die and this matter gets out, no matter where he stole the Demonic Sect's secret techniques from, it will be impossible to explain.
If this gets out, it will damage Situ Jing's reputation.
"I don't believe the Holy Maiden would do such a thing. Your words pose no threat to us! Even if you want to spread this matter, you can't even get out of here yourself, so what are you talking about intimidation for?"
Elder Shi looked disdainful and simply sat down, too lazy to pay any attention to Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen laughed and asked, "Senior, have you ever tamed a demon beast as a pet?"
"What's it to you?"
Elder Shi suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
Lu Chen didn't explain, but his smile grew even brighter.
Sure enough, Elder Shi suddenly stood up, his expression changing drastically.
Because he understood the meaning behind Lu Chen's words.
There is indeed no way to contact the outside world here. Even precious items like communication tokens cannot be used to communicate with the outside world within this Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
However, there is one method that still works.
That is, after the owner and pet have formed a soul contract, they can communicate directly through telepathy and consciousness.
Upon hearing this, Situ Jing indeed realized the same thing.
Why are you always targeting me?
Situ Jing glared angrily at Lu Chen, who had been teasing her ever since they first met.
Now they're spouting nonsense and threatening Elder Shi.
"Alright! I won't mind telling you."
Elder Shi suddenly laughed, his attitude becoming much better, but in his heart he was thinking that he had to stabilize the situation now and not let the Holy Maiden be distracted in the slightest.
Now that things have come to this point, Situ Jing, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, clearly has a significant advantage.
After all, the Heavenly Demon Palace is an ancient demonic sect. If a successor had to be chosen, Situ Jing would obviously be the most promising candidate.
As for the others present, the demon race had no chance at all, and the human race's righteous path also had little hope.
Once we obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Palace, especially after acquiring the Blood Soul Curse, we can directly control Lu Chen and make him a spy for the Demonic Sect within the righteous path. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
"This Trial Tower was set up by the ancient sect, the Heavenly Demon Palace, to select its disciples. Anyone who can successfully cultivate these three techniques within the specified time demonstrates their talent and can become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace!"
"Of course, this is only the initial screening! That is, the very bottom level of the Trial Tower!"
"This Trial Tower of the Heavenly Demon Palace has three levels. Once all those who have passed the initial screening have arrived at this main hall, they will be teleported to the next level!"
"After passing the three tests, you will become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace Master!"
"As for what these three levels of trials are, I don't know either. After all, they are from a very ancient time. I only happened to see a little bit about them in the ancient books of my Demonic Sect!"
After Elder Shi finished speaking, suddenly, the mysterious statue in the middle of the hall began to tremble.
