We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Mission Hall.

The place was already packed with people. The true disciples, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, had gathered here in large numbers. The reason was that the demon hunt had begun, and these were disciples who planned to participate in the hunt. The number of them was not large, but there were at least a hundred people.

"The most surprising thing about this demon hunt is that Senior Sister Yunxi will also be going."

"Yes, Senior Brother Bi Tianyu didn't go, and Senior Brother Bai Jian went out for training. Of the three true disciples, only Senior Sister Yun Xi is left. I thought that with Senior Sister Yun Xi's strength, she wouldn't need to go at all, but I didn't expect her to go this time."

"As for why Senior Sister Yunxi went, I do know the reason. It is said that she made a bet with a disciple named Su Chen to see who could hunt down the most demons in the demon hunt. Whoever won would get a million Pure Yuan Pills."

"So that's how it is. But Senior Sister Yunxi doesn't seem like someone who lacks Pure Yuan Pills. And who is this Su Chen? I've never heard of him before. Is he even more formidable than Senior Brother Bi Tianyu? How dare he challenge Senior Sister Yunxi to a duel?"

"You've been in seclusion for too long, so you don't know. This Su Chen is a rising star who has just been promoted to a true disciple. He's very strong, and even Robin isn't his match. Moreover, he's extremely arrogant. He even dared to fight Senior Sister Yun Xi. And I heard that Senior Sister Yun Xi brought this up herself."

"Wow, is he really that brave?"

"Doesn't that mean Senior Sister Yunxi will definitely be leading the team this time? If I had known, I would have gone too!"

"No, Senior Sister Yunxi didn't agree to lead the team. Senior Brother Xiangcheng is leading the team this time."

"Is it that Xiangcheng senior brother who ranked in the top ten, cultivated the Nine Yin and Nine Yang techniques to the highest level, and is handsome, dashing, and debonair?"

"Um, I know you admire Senior Brother Xiangcheng, but there's no need to say it out loud."

"..."

The demon hunt is a major event within the Ziyang Sect, attracting attention every time it begins, and this time is no exception.

In particular, the inner disciples all put down their cultivation and gathered around, watching the crowd.

Among them, Yunxi and Xiangcheng are the most eye-catching.

Among the people, the two were the most talked about.

Looking up at the time, Xiang Cheng said to Elder Lu, "Elder Lu, I think it's about time. Why don't we set off?"

In the past, they always set off at this time, but this time, Xiangcheng noticed that Elder Lu seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Upon hearing this, Elder Lu chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly spotted a figure flying across the horizon.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly, and I replied, "Everyone's here, let's set off now."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Cheng didn't say anything more, but instead looked at Su Chen, who had landed not far away.

The moment he saw the other person, he finally understood why Elder Lu had been so reluctant to set off.

"Brother Xiang, this person is Su Chen!"

Robin, standing next to Xiang Cheng, noticed Xiang Cheng's gaze and couldn't help but speak up, revealing Su Chen's identity.

"Oh?" Xiang Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "He's Su Chen?"

“That’s right!” Robin nodded.

He knew that Xiang Cheng and Bi Tianyu were good friends and had a very close relationship. Xiang Cheng must know about the conflict between Su Chen and Bi Tianyu. Perhaps after learning about Su Chen's identity, Xiang Cheng would take the initiative to teach Su Chen a lesson without him having to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Cheng withdrew his gaze, turned to Robin, and said in a deep voice, "Robin, put away your little schemes. Brother Bi has never taken this person seriously, and neither will I. If you really have the ability, then find a chance to take revenge on him yourself."

"Yes!" Robin knew his thoughts had been seen through, so he lowered his head and dared not look at Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng chuckled lightly, his calm voice ringing out again: "Of course, if he's obedient, I won't bother with him. But if he's disobedient, I'm not as magnanimous as Brother Bi; I'll let him know how powerful I am."

After saying this, Xiangcheng ignored Robin and turned to leave.

"set off!"

Just then, Elder Lu's voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone landed on the flying shuttle. The shuttle was enormous, a divine weapon capable of holding tens of thousands of people. They were traveling to the Demon Cave by flying shuttle, which was much faster than individual flight.

The Demon Cave is not located in the northern part of the Holy Origin Sect, but it is not entirely in the Ten Directions World either. Only part of its area overlaps with a certain location in Holy Origin City. Therefore, many forces of the Holy Origin Sect use the Demon Cave as a training ground for their disciples.

This journey to the Demon Cave will take at least seven days.

After boarding the flying shuttle, Su Chen returned to his room to adjust his condition.

Most of the warriors in the Demon Cave ahead, like Su Chen, rarely went out.

The shuttle flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters every day, and apart from the scenery, there's not much to see.

This journey to the Demon Cave is fraught with danger, and no one dares to be careless.

This point has been mentioned repeatedly in the records about the Demon Cave, so people naturally do not take it too lightly.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

"The entrance to the Demon Cave is just ahead!"

On this day, Elder Lu's voice rang out in everyone's room, waking everyone who was cultivating.

Su Chen was no exception, and followed the others out of the room.

Upon arriving at the cabin, a huge canyon came into view, and the shuttle was currently shuttling through the middle of the canyon.

The clouds and mist swirled before my eyes, drifting by like an illusion, making everything around me seem so unreal.

After passing through the thick fog, it wasn't long before the group felt a chilling aura emanating from ahead.

And a strong demonic aura!
The closer one gets to the demon's lair, the stronger the demonic aura becomes.

"How about it? Are you starting to regret coming to the Demon Cave?"

This was the first time Su Chen had ever felt such a strong demonic aura, and his eyes became serious.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice reached his ears. Without even looking, Su Chen knew that the speaker was Yun Xi.

"Do you think I'm scared? No, on the contrary, I feel my blood boiling, and of course, besides that..."

"what?"

"My gourd is also empty, and I am thirsty and hungry."

Yun Xi didn't speak, but looked at Su Chen with surprise, as if trying to confirm whether he was joking or serious.

Before they arrive at the Demon Cave, each disciple heading there might still be able to joke and laugh like Su Chen is now.

But in reality, once you've been there, all your preconceived notions about the Demon Cave will be shattered.

Even the disciples who were visiting for the first time were not as open-minded as Su Chen.

They might feel tense to some extent because of the introduction to the Demon Cave.

Su Chen was the only person she had ever met who, instead of having any negative emotions, was eager to try.

"Your strength seems to have increased compared to before!"

Yunxi stared at Su Chen for a long time, then suddenly noticed a change in his aura. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she spoke softly.

She only vaguely sensed that Su Chen's strength was different from before, and was unsure whether Su Chen had really broken through.

Su Chen smiled, naturally not saying anything more. "I heard you killed someone from the Holy Origin Sect before, so you'd better be careful this time."

Suddenly, Yunxi looked ahead and spoke casually.

Seeing that Su Chen did not speak, Yun Xi continued: "The Holy Yuan Sect is very domineering. Since it obtained the inheritance of the Mingtian lineage, its overall strength has increased by leaps and bounds. It has jumped from the third of the ten holy cities to the second, and even has the potential to become the leader. You killed their disciple, and they will never let it go."

Moreover, Wu Mo, whom you offended last time, has a nephew named Wu Yun, whose strength should not be underestimated. He is a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Power realm and will also be coming this time. Given his relationship with Wu Mo, he will definitely settle accounts with you.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Su Chen looked at Yun Xi curiously. He knew some of this information, and he didn't know some of it. He didn't believe that Yun Xi would tell him this for no reason.

Hearing this, Yunxi tossed her hair and smiled sweetly: "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be watching the show from the sidelines. Don't be too surprised if you see me then. I won't be helping you."

Su Chen: "..."

For a moment, Su Chen didn't know what to say.

Seemingly pleased to see Su Chen suffer a setback, Yun Xi let out a bell-like laugh.

Neither of them spoke again, for after parting the clouds, they had finally arrived at the Demon Cave.

Below the canyon, in front of everyone, stood an ancient array, which was the teleportation array leading to the Demon Cave.

At this moment, many forces arrived around the teleportation array.

Among them were many forces that Su Chen had seen in the Ten Directions World, such as the Eight Desolate Palace, the Spirit Demon Sect, and other sects.

Of course, there were also many forces that Su Chen had never seen before, all of which were forces that had been rooted in Shengyuan City for a long time.

Among these forces, they may not be as strong as the Ziyang Sect, but they should not be underestimated.

Even if a sect is weak, it is still relatively strong if it can send disciples at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm or above to participate in the demon hunt.

Within the Holy Origin Sect, they would likely be renowned and powerful forces.

“Lu Hai, your Ziyang Sect is closer to the Demon Cave than our Xuanyin Sect, so why are you arriving later than us? That’s really not right.”

The emergence of the Ziyang Sect quickly attracted the attention of various forces below.

One of the middle-aged women spoke first, clearly knowing Lu Hai and having a close relationship with him.

Lu Hai chuckled after hearing this, but didn't say anything more.

Looking around, he casually remarked, "The Holy Origin Sect hasn't arrived either."

"The Holy Origin Sect won't arrive until the opening time," the middle-aged woman said, shaking her head.

Lu Hai nodded, agreeing, and said nothing more, instead greeting some old friends.

Su Chen stood in the crowd, but his gaze fell on the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect and the Profound Yin Sect, wanting to see if there were any familiar faces among them.

After scanning around, he didn't see Fang Rou and Zhu Yan, and was somewhat disappointed.

But then I thought, the two of them might not come to the front lines; they might still stay in the Ten Directions World.

Seeing that there were no familiar faces, Su Chen looked at the disciples of other forces. With his current level of understanding, he could roughly estimate their strength with just a glance.

In fact, there are quite a few people who behave like him.

Besides the fact that everyone was heading to the Demon Cave, there was another reason: they were all people of the same age.

It is normal for peers to compete with each other, especially since everyone present is a prodigy of their respective sects.

Even without exchanging a single word, the fierce fighting spirit that might burst forth from their intertwined gazes as they gather together.

While Su Chen was observing the others, they were also observing the Ziyang Sect.

The main focus was on Xiang Cheng and Yun Xi.

Yun Xi, in particular, stood out in the crowd in her green dress, and with her impressive strength, she naturally attracted everyone's attention.

After looking around, Su Chen noticed several martial artists whose strength was unfathomable.

He dared not probe too deeply, lest he be discovered by others.

Most of these people are no weaker than Yun Xi, and one of them is even more profound in strength than Yun Xi.

He could only sense the immense energy contained within the other's body, but he didn't know what kind of energy it was; it seemed even more terrifying than the Primordial Chaos Power.

"The people from the Holy Origin Sect have arrived!"

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd. Everyone looked up and saw a huge flying wheel descending from the sky. On the banner on it was engraved a huge character 'Saint'. It was the flying wheel of the Saint Yuan Sect.

Their mere entrance was far more impressive than that of the Ziyang Sect earlier. An invisible force swept across the surroundings, stirring up a whirlwind, seemingly announcing the arrival of the Shengyuan Sect to everyone.

The crowd below were not to be outdone, each displaying their unique abilities like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Despite standing firm in the raging wind, not a single person moved an inch, and not even a strand of hair was affected.

"Haha, I didn't expect everyone to arrive so early!"

Before the flywheel even landed, a cheerful voice came from above.

Su Chen was slightly taken aback after hearing this, not expecting to run into Wu Mo here.

No wonder he said that if he participated in the demon hunt, the demon would definitely not let him go.

As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, several sects and forces that were on good terms with the Holy Origin Sect stepped forward to greet him.

A simple greeting can actually convey a lot; at least Su Chen noticed that Elder Lu did not step forward.

Besides these, there were also some forces that did not advance. He glanced at them quickly and then secretly memorized them.

"I didn't expect the Ziyang Sect to arrive before us!"

Wu Mo descended amidst the stars and the moon, and upon seeing the banners of the Ziyang Sect, he strode towards them.

He appeared to be speaking to Lu Hai, but his hawk-like eyes were scanning the disciples behind Lu Hai.

When he saw Su Chen in the crowd, he was first stunned, then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

It seems they didn't expect Su Chen to come.

However, Su Chen's arrival was exactly what he wanted.

"We just arrived too," Lu Hai replied casually.

Since the last time the Ziyang Sect and the Shengyuan Sect fell out, their relationship has deteriorated further, so he naturally wouldn't greet them with a smile.

"I was also delayed for a while because I was chatting too happily with my nephew Bi Tianyu, but fortunately I was still on time and didn't miss the time to activate the formation."

Upon hearing Wu Mo mention Bi Tianyu, the expressions of everyone in the Ziyang Sect changed slightly.

They were well aware of Bi Tianyu's frequent visits to the Holy Origin Sect during this period, but they simply didn't reveal it.

Who would have thought that this would become an excuse for Wu Mo?

Who is Su Chen?

Just then, a handsome young man stepped forward from beside Wu Mo, looked down at the Ziyang Sect members, and asked them a question. (End of Chapter)
