Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook and the other man were not in invisible state, and the opposite Wo Ma leader did not attack them.

"Brother Mafa..." Cult leader Woma suddenly spoke, his voice was very rough.

Oh my god! This leader can even talk! It seems this isn't an ordinary monster. Could it be the Wo Ma leader's clone that the meditating old man mentioned?

"We are monks sent from Biqi City to assist Fengmo City in sealing the Kuilong. May I ask where the Lord of Fengmo City has come from?" Brooke asked respectfully. Fengmo City has both monsters and humans, so no matter who they are, it's better to be polite.

"What? King Bichi sent you two here? Level 31 monks? Humph! Is there no one left in Bichi City?!" Leader Woma was a little angry.

"Master Woma... Sir, may I ask where the Lord of the Demon Sealing City is from?" Brooke continued to ask without arrogance or servility. However, even he himself felt very uncomfortable calling Master Woma "Sir".

“.......” The Woma leader did not speak.

"That senior said that the Wo Ma Cult leader is proficient in teleportation magic... Do you think the Demon Sealing City Lord has been hidden by him?" Bayin said in the guild chat.

The position where the Woma Cult Leader stood was the main seat in the Imperial Palace Hall. Logically, only the Demon Sealing City Lord could stand there.

"You mean, the Lord of the Demon Sealing City has been kidnapped, and this WoMa Cult Leader wants to seize power and usurp the throne?" Brook responded in the guild chat.

"Idiot! I am the Lord of the Demon Sealing City! Do you think I can't hear your conversation?" The Woma Cult Leader glared at the two of them fiercely.

"What?!" Brooke and Bayin were shocked. This Demon Sealing City Lord was actually the Woma Cult Leader? The meditating old man had only mentioned the Woma Cult Leader's clone, but hadn't said it was the Demon Sealing City Lord. The Demon Sealing City Lord was actually a demonic beast? They were completely taken aback.

"I really don't understand why Bicchi City sent two stupid low-level monks here. Don't they want to seal Kuilong anymore?" Leader Woma said in a buzzing voice.

"So it's the Lord City Lord in person—well, we're both new here, so ignorance is not a crime. Please forgive me, Lord City Lord." Brooke felt wronged. Since you're the Lord City Lord, you should change your title to the Lord of Sealing Demons. You haven't changed the title yet, isn't that just deliberately making things difficult for me? He was under someone's roof and had to take on a mission, so he could only bow his head and apologize.

"Hmph!" Leader Woma snorted coldly.

"Lord City Lord, we are here now. Is there anything we can help you with?" Brooke asked.

The Wo Ma leader said nothing.

Haha, I didn't expect this WoMa leader to be so petty. Brook was also a little helpless.

"Lord Mayor, where is veteran Beech? The people of Beech City are very worried about his safety, and we want to meet him." Brook changed the subject.

"He is in the Temple of Death. After exiting the main hall, there is an ancient well on the right. Next to the ancient well is a secret door. Entering it is the Temple of Death. After meeting veteran Bicchi, you'd better get out of here! There is no task here that you are capable of!" Cult Leader Woma said rudely.

Brook was also furious. After all, they were both sent by Biqi City. Two countries were at war, yet they didn't even kill the envoys. This Demon Sealing City Lord was too arrogant. He was just a Wo Ma Cult Leader, wasn't he? They'd killed him before. Humph!

Bayin sensed Brook's anger and quickly stopped him, pulling Brook's arm and saying, "Let's go see veteran Beech first."

Brook calmed down. He took two steps to the side and picked up the dragon ring. He turned around, held his head high, and left the palace with Bayin.

It’s no big deal if you don’t do the task.

Arriving outside the palace, the two carefully examined the ancient well, but did not find the so-called secret door.

Could he have been tricked by the Woma Cult Leader? Bayin circled the ancient well in confusion, and suddenly, he disappeared. Startled, Brook hurried to the place where Bayin disappeared, and then appeared in a room.

So there really was a secret door. This room, called the Temple of Death, had a clean, neatly tiled floor, roughly the same size as the Amethyst House. In the center of the room sat a massive five-star formation, with a person seated at each of its five corners. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than the veteran Beech, the veteran Mengzhong, the veteran Cangyue, the guide of Bairimen, and the demon veteran. The demon veteran was in the form of a Flame Woma.

"Seniors, are you all okay?" Bayin quickly came to the side of veteran Bi Qi, squatted down and asked with concern.

"Be careful! Don't touch the formation." Veteran Bitch said immediately.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" asked the Mengzhong veteran.

"Seniors, the two of us were sent to Bichi City to carry out a mission. We were originally asked to help kill the monsters and seal Kuilong. Perhaps because we were new here and behaved impolitely, the Lord of Sealing Demon City disliked us. Now we come to visit several seniors and want to confirm whether they are safe. After that, we will go back to Bichi." Bayin said.

"The city lord won't be angry with you just because of a few words. Most likely he is unhappy because he sees that your level is not high enough and you can't complete the task." said the demon veteran.

"Why didn't Biqi City send high-ranking monks?" the Bairi Gate guide asked. "Is there something wrong with Bairi Gate? So all the high-ranking monks were sent there?"

"Maybe so~ Our level is a little low, there's nothing we can do about it. I would like to ask the seniors, how long will it take to repair this sealing formation? The major cities of the Marfa continent are missing you without you in charge... We all miss you and hope you can go back soon." Brook said.

"We originally estimated it would take three months. But we later discovered that some of the spatial seal energy was absorbed by some creature. We don't know what this creature is, but we know it possesses some spatial abilities, but they're not powerful, even insignificant. Therefore, we need three special materials to block the loss of energy and stabilize the formation," said veteran Beech. "Without these materials, it will probably take another year. With them, it will still take three months."

"What kind of special material is this? Can only high-level monks obtain it?" Bayin asked curiously.

"We need materials from three types of monsters unique to the Demon Sealing Valley. The fangs of the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard, the tail scales of the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard, and the double horns on the head of the Rainbow Demon Leader." The Cang Yue veteran replied.

"The most difficult thing to obtain is the double horns on the head of the Rainbow Demon Leader. The Rainbow Demon Leader is in the deepest part of the Demon Sealing Cave, and only a high-level cultivator can kill him. With your current strength, it is impossible to complete this task. Don't force yourself, even if you get in by chance, you will only die." said the demon veteran.

Bayin was very dissatisfied, but she also knew that these veterans were doing it for their own good. She asked unwillingly, "Is there no other way?"

"A unique monster..." Brooke recalled Situ Haoyun's notes. There weren't many records of the Demon Sealing Valley, and the monster atlas only listed four: the Rainbow Demon Lord, the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard, the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard, and the last one, the Millennium Tree Demon. So, he tentatively asked, "The Millennium Tree Demon should also be a unique monster to the Demon Sealing Valley, right? Could it replace the Rainbow Demon Lord, Senior?"

The five veterans didn't say anything, but their eyes were shining.

"Look! The Millennium Tree Demon is also possible! We only thought about the three rainbow monsters, but forgot about the Millennium Tree Demon."

"Indeed! The Millennium Tree Demon was originally a thousand-year-old tree in the Demon Sealing Valley. It mutated into a tree demon after absorbing demonic energy and magic. Its magic power is extremely strong. Even if it is not as strong as the Rainbow Demon Master, it is very close. It is sufficient to be used as a formation material."

"Great! The Millennium Tree Demon is right here in the Demon Sealing Valley. Compared to the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader, who has a large number of subordinates guarding him, the Millennium Tree Demon is much easier to deal with."

"Young man, thanks for the reminder. You're quite smart. With the two of you, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a single Millennium Tree Demon. As for the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard and the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard, as long as we're careful, we should be able to handle them too."

"What are we waiting for? I'm going to meet the city lord right away. Four old friends, I'll leave this to you first." said the demon veteran.

"Go quickly and come back quickly." The other four veterans said one after another.

The demon veteran stood up and walked out of the formation, and said to Brook and Bayin: "Come back to the city with me." After that, he disappeared in a flash.

Brook and Bayin exchanged a glance and nodded. With a thought, the return stone in their backpacks flickered, and they were back at the Demon Sealing Square.

The two followed the Demon Veteran back into the Demon Sealed Palace. The Wo Ma Cult Leader was displeased to see the two return. However, he temporarily withheld his anger for the Demon Veteran's sake. After all, the Demon Veteran was proficient in teleportation magic, and future teleportation missions within the Demon Sealed Valley would depend on him.

The demon veteran came to the side of the Woma leader and explained the matter in a few words. The Woma leader pointed at Brook and asked, "You said just now that this idea was his?"

"Yes, Lord City Lord." said the demon veteran.

The Woma Cult leader was somewhat surprised. How could these two, who had been so foolish just a moment ago, suddenly become so clever and come up with such a brilliant idea? Regardless, as long as they could strengthen the formation, it would be good. He still had doubts about Brook and the other two's strength. After all, they were only level 2, a level he looked down upon.

"Listen carefully, you two monks. Now I will give you your first task. Go and get the branches of the thousand-year-old tree demon. If you can't complete this, then you will have to go back to where you came from." Leader Woma finally issued the task.

This guy is still so arrogant. Who is he looking down on? I really want to beat him up. Brook thought to himself, but replied: "Yes, Lord City Lord."

The Demon Veteran and Brook Bayin left the Demon Sealing Palace together. The Veteran reminded Brook and the others:

"Killing the Millennium Tree Demon isn't a problem. But the Rainbow Demon Pig Guards and Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guards are going to be much more challenging. According to our investigation, these two beasts are found deep within the Demon Sealing Caverns, especially the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guards, which only appear on the last four levels. This is your first time entering, so be careful not to go too deep, especially on the last two levels. There are elite Zuma Guards there in droves, and even high-level cultivators could be killed instantly by their concentrated fire. It's extremely dangerous."

"Also, starting from the Dominator's Hall, you basically can't use random teleportation. There's a merchant in the Dominator's Hall where you can rest and resupply. Be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Brook thought for a moment and finally expressed his doubts. "Excuse me, Senior. Why does the Lord of the Demon Sealing City in the Imperial Palace, also known as the Woma Cult Leader, speak human language? We met the Woma Cult Leader before in the Woma Temple, but he never spoke."

"Shh! Keep quiet! The city lord is the incarnation of the Woma Cult Master, and the one in the Woma Temple is just the projection of the Woma Cult Master. The strength of the two cannot be compared." The demon veteran lowered his voice.

"Ah? Clone, projection? So, Leader Woma has a real body. Where is the real body?" Brook asked softly.

"Guess?" The demon veteran pointed his finger skyward. Then he added, "The city lord is very powerful. You must be polite and courteous. Don't be rude or rude. Remember that!"

Brooke glanced up at the sky, instantly understanding. Then, remembering his previous disdain for the Demon Sealing City Lord, he felt a lingering fear. It turned out this leader wasn't the same one; one was a clone, the other a projection. Just hearing their names told you which was stronger. Fortunately, he hadn't actually been rude to him, or he'd be dead.

"Come to us if you have any problems. I hope you can succeed." The demon veteran waved to Brook Bayin and the others and entered the Temple of Death in the ancient well.

The two watched the demon soldier leave and stopped at the steps of the palace. They were still digesting what the demon soldier said.

Projections, true forms. So, those that descended upon Marfa were merely projections. No wonder the demonic beasts descended, suddenly appearing without warning, and no wonder they were so inexhaustible. If a single projection alone could inflict heavy casualties on the inhabitants of Marfa, how much more powerful must the true form be? 2x, 5x, or 10x? Is the true form in the sky? That could only be the Red Star. What exactly is this Red Star? Can we ascend to it? Can it defeat the true forms of the demonic beasts? Is killing them enough? Can we truly defeat them?

The demon veteran's words made the two of them think about a lot of things. The pressure was a bit great.

There were many questions that he couldn't figure out. Brooke took a deep breath and decided to stop thinking about them.

If you lose something and can’t find it after searching for a long time, you might as well give up looking for it. After a few days, when you look back, it might appear before your eyes.

Be it the red star or the original body, no matter if it is ten times or a hundred times stronger, as long as there is time, as long as there is confidence, as long as one's strength is strong enough, all monsters can be defeated, and all the fog will eventually be seen clearly.

Brook turned his head to look at Bayin. Bayin looked up at him and smiled: "I forgot to ask them where the thousand-year-old tree demon is. You should know, right?"

Brooke nodded and smiled. "Master's notes have a record of this. There's a pool of water in the southwest of the Demon Sealing Valley, and in the middle of it there's a thousand-year-old tree demon. Where there's water, the scenery is usually more beautiful. Let's go and see the scenery."
