nThe black-robed young man seemed like he was completely immersed in merry-making with the woman beside him.

nA moment later, when the spirit consciousness that shrouded him faded like the ebbing of a tide, the black-robed young man suddenly sat upright. Clarity returned to his eyes as he rubbed his chin with a cold expression, murmuring, “Interesting.”

n“What’s wrong, young master?”

nThe woman’s voluptuous body stuck closely onto the black-robed young man. She rubbed against his body gently and asked in a flirting manner with a coquettish tone.

nThe black-robed young man’s lips curled as he said with a fake smile, “Nothing much. Somebody spread his spirit consciousness earlier on and scanned me.”

n“What a fool!”

nThe woman harrumphed and said in a pandering manner, “To think that someone would dare to check on our young master in the Black Sand Ridge. Doesn’t he know any rules at all?”

n“Since this person doesn’t know any rules, I can teach them to him,”

nThe black-robed young man said in a seemingly casual manner. However, there was a killing intent in his tone!

n“Protector Shi, Protector Cha!”

n“Here!”

nTwo low-level fiend demons beside the black-robed young man appeared in a flash.

nThe black-robed young man spread open a map and marked out a location before saying in a deep voice, “Bring some men over quickly and surround this place first. Don’t let anyone go!”

n“Understood!”

nThe two protectors brought more than ten fiend demons with them and shuttled through the forest with their movement techniques, charging at full speed.

nThe black-robed young man sat on his carriage and headed in the direction idly.

nAn hour later, the black-robed young man’s group arrived at the destination in a grand manner while Protectors Shi and Cha rushed to his side.

n“Young master, nobody has left this place during this period of time!”

nThe two protectors exchanged glances – both of them could see the confusion in the other’s eyes.

nAlthough they had surrounded the place, it was empty with a few hills. There weren’t even any ghosts, let alone people!

nThe black-robed young man stood up and surveyed his surroundings, frowning as well.

nHis senses couldn’t be wrong!

nThe golden light and the spirit consciousness that scanned him definitely came from this area – how was there nothing here?

nCould that person have slipped off first after realizing something?

nThat wouldn’t make any sense.

nThe black-robed young man’s expression darkened.

nHe did not express any hostility or killing intent when the unknown spirit consciousness scanned him – could that person have been so cautious to flee right away?

nThe black-robed young man’s glabella shone and he spread his spirit consciousness in a radius of 500 meters. He scanned repeatedly and tried to seek for clues.

nAlthough Protectors Shi and Cha were expressionless as they stood upright with their hands by their side, both of them cursed internally.

nThey had scanned the area a few times earlier on and there wasn’t even an ant around, let alone a person!

nA moment later, the black-robed young man retracted his spirit consciousness and looked at the foot of a hill not far away. A mocking look flashed through his eyes as he said in a leisurely manner, “Come on out! Those visual concealment techniques won’t work against me!”

nThere were hundreds of demon beasts gathered in the vicinity. All of them followed the black-robed young man’s gaze but they saw nothing, only a barren hill.

nAll of a sudden!

nThe hill seemed to have turned into a water screen and ripples appeared.

nA few people came out in succession.

nOne of them was tall with arms longer than his knees. He carried a rusty rod on his shoulders and had a prideful expression, as though he looked down on everything.

nOne of them was tall, muscular and walked like a hooligan. His gaze revealed a boundless might as though he was the king of all beasts!

nThe other two were peerlessly beautiful women.

nOne of them held a fan and had a slender figure that was curvaceous; her long legs were exceptionally striking.

nThe other one wore a fiery-red dress and looked extremely docile with delicate features. Her eyes sparkled like water and she was ravishing with a flawless complexion.

nHowever, she carried a gigantic pitch-black umbrella in her hands which looked extremely contrasting compared to her demeanor.

nMany demon beasts gasped and froze momentarily when they caught sight of the woman with the umbrella.

nShe was way too beautiful!

nShe was so beautiful that they lost their minds!

nThe woman beside the black-robed young man was also an exceptional beauty in the Black Sand Ridge. However, she paled in comparison in front of this young woman.

nThe black-robed young man’s eyes lit up when he caught sight of the two women.

nHowever, the gaze of the woman beside him turned cold!

nRight then, another person walked out from the hill.

nThis person wore green robes and had refined features. However, his hair was the color of blood and he looked extremely demonic!

nWith his spirit consciousness, the black-robed young man had long determined that the five of them before him were low-level fiend demons.

nFurthermore, they seemed like they had only just turned into fiend demons!

nUnder normal circumstances, five low-level fiend demons would not amount to much within the Black Sand Ridge.

nHowever, the black-robed young man frowned slightly.

nFor some unknown reason, the five of them were way too calm!

nThe five of them hid here and had nowhere to run after he saw through their concealment technique. Theoretically, they should be flustered and uneasy instead of being so calm!

nThe gaze of the black-robed young man eventually settled on the young man with blood-red hair.

nAlthough this person was also a low-level fiend demon, the black-robed young man could not see through him!

nHis spirit consciousness was blocked by an invisible barrier when it reached this person.

nHe could not even see what the true form of this person was.

nThe black-robed young man could roughly tell that this scarlet-haired young man should have been the one who scanned him with the spirit consciousness earlier on!

nThe group of them were naturally Su Zimo, monkey and the others.

nSu Zimo was sizing up the black-robed young man as the latter glared at him.

nHe could naturally tell that this black-robed young man was the most troublesome to deal with among the hundreds of demon beasts!

nThe reason why they were not surprised or panicked when they were discovered was because they had no intention to hide to begin with.

nOtherwise, Su Zimo would have led everyone else and left before the black-robed young man arrived.

nAlthough they were only in the Thousand Demon Valley for slightly more than ten days, the changes in their bodies were way too great.

nAll of them were spirit demons when they had just entered the Thousand Demon Valley.

nBut now, all of them were fiend demons!

nAt the start, they were hunted down by many demon beasts of Howling Moon Mountain and fled frantically with nowhere to settle down.

nBut now, they were extremely calm despite the fact that they were surrounded by a group of demons!

nThe biggest reason why they did not leave was because there was no need to.

nMonkey loved to fight. He had just become a fiend demon and refined his Destiny Dharmic Weapon; he was absolutely itching to fight – how could he leave without fighting someone to the end?

nThe spirit tiger and the others were frustrated after being hunted down as well. Now that there were people who came knocking themselves, there was naturally no way they would cower in fear.

nInstead, their eyes shone with excitement and fervor!

n“What great weather. It’s been a long time since I’ve exercised!”

nThe spirit tiger cracked his neck and stretched.

n“Audacious!”

nProtector Shi’s gaze burned brightly as he hollered, “Who are you guys? Why aren’t you kneeling in the face of the young master of Black Sand Ridge!”

n“Pfft, pfft! Young master, huh?”

nThe spirit tiger pouted his lips in disdain and mocked, “How new. You might as well call me the young master of Black Tiger Ridge!”

n“Hmm?”

nProtector Shi was a pig that cultivated into a demon and his brains were on the slow side. He froze momentarily when he heard the spirit tiger’s words and his heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself.

n‘Black Tiger Ridge? Why have I not heard of this territory before?’

n‘Judging from his stance, it’s likely that he comes from a powerful background!’
