The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Upon seeing Venerable White Elephant and his companions, the old lion snorted and completely ignored them, walking right past them.

"It's really interesting."

Venerable White Elephant muttered something, ignored them, and led them away.

On the way back, Mostana carefully poked Ji Yunyao with her finger: "Hey, Ji Yunyao, have you met your match?"

Ji Yunyao, who was still a little sullen, suddenly turned her head and looked at her, saying, "No, I didn't take that little fox demon seriously at all."

Mossana was a little confused: "Why? I think Qin Yan seems quite interested in her."

Ji Yunyao shook her head: "You don't understand. First of all, this is only their first meeting. It's true that they might be interested in each other, but that doesn't mean anything. Secondly, I know Qin Yan. He's very indifferent to matters of the heart."

"Back then, we got on the train first and then bought tickets, and only started talking about feelings last. Do you think a little fox demon would make him break his vows?"

Mostana thought for a moment, then nodded: "I think so."

“You’re overthinking it,” Ji Yunyao said. “Let me be clear, your chances are ten thousand times better than that of that fox demon.”

Upon hearing this, Mostana immediately became unhappy: "Why bring me up when you can talk about her?"

Ji Yunyao chuckled but remained silent.

Mostana could only analyze the possibilities of this matter with a frustrated expression.

Qin Yan, standing ahead, wore a helpless expression. It had to be said that Ji Yunyao's analysis was quite accurate.

His interest in the fox demon stemmed from the fact that among a group of birds and beasts, he finally saw one that resembled a human, and had no relation to the others.

......

In the blink of an eye, the night had passed, and the sun appeared in the sky right on time the next day.

The entire Demon Palace was in an uproar because today was the first day of the grand competition.

A group of guys from Xiangshan also set off, full of energy as they headed towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

Sitting atop the bronze elephant, Qin Yan looked at the White Elephant Venerable before him and asked, "Master, I remember your strength is enough to become a Supreme Elder, why don't you accept this position?"

Venerable White Elephant shook his head: "There's no need. I feel quite good now. Being a first-class elder is free and leisurely. Being a Supreme Elder would be too restrictive."

"Ok."

Qin Yan didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "Master, do you have anything to be responsible for today? After all, you are the First Elder."

Venerable White Elephant chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm in charge of the security of one arena today, and I'll be keeping an eye on one side of the arena."

The bronze giant elephant said in a muffled voice, "My godfather always gives us tasks like this, so that he can also take us to sit in the place closest to the arena."

Qin Yan clapped his hands and said, "Good news."

The White Elephant Venerable, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Yan, and said with a smile, "Qin Yan, don't forget our agreement. You said you would definitely get first place."

Qin Yan patted his chest: "Isn't that a piece of cake?"

Venerable White Elephant chuckled and said, "Little fellow, you must strive for it, because after the Ten Thousand Demon Palace Grand Competition, there will be a grand event rarely seen in the Tianxuan Continent, a grand competition among all families and sects, also known as the Heavenly Pride Ranking Battle."

Qin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this; he had to go and see what was going on.

Venerable White Elephant continued, "Let me tell you, the Qin family, the Jiang family, and other ancient families will also be there. The Jiang family will definitely cause trouble in the ranking battle of geniuses, and will read out that madman's memories on the spot, making the Qin family look bad."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was so excited he was trembling. He couldn't wait to see what was going on.

Venerable Bai Xiang poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "But if you don't get into the top five, you can't go."

"What top five?" Qin Yan said with dissatisfaction, "That's an insult to me. I want to be number one."

Venerable White Elephant smiled but said nothing.

Actually, Qin Yan didn't care whether he was number one or not.

The reason I told Qin Yan to win first place in the Wan Yao Palace competition was just to put some pressure on him.

He doesn't really need these things, but it's good to get first place, to prove that his judgment was correct.

They arrived at the huge plaza in front of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, chatting and laughing.

Ten arenas appeared on the square, each with a side length of a thousand feet, clearly prepared for the enormous creatures of the demon race.

The area around the arena was bustling with demons, all of whom had come to participate in the competition.

However, most of these demons are just there for show; they are nowhere near as powerful as those demons with pure bloodlines and good elders.

Of course, there are also some demons who are determined to show their strength and style in the competition, hoping to be taken as disciples by a high-ranking demon.

The White Elephant Venerable ignored these little demons who were trying to climb upwards. There were many people and demons with this mentality, but very few of them succeeded in the end.

When the demons saw the White Elephant Venerable approaching, they hurriedly dodged to the sides, making way for this powerful demon.

Venerable White Elephant led his disciples and adopted sons to the edge of a arena with the character "Lu" written on one side.

This arena should be under the responsibility of Venerable White Elephant. Although he is in charge of security, he actually only intervenes to save the demons who are fighting on it when they are about to be killed, so that they are not actually killed.

As long as you don't get killed, you don't need to worry about anything else.

The White Elephant Venerable stopped not far from the arena, shrinking his size to only thirty meters long.

All the other elephants shrunk in size, becoming only a little over ten meters long, and lined up on either side of the White Elephant Venerable, sitting down facing the arena.

At the edge of other arenas, some powerful demons sat down with weaker demons, seemingly with the same mission as Venerable White Elephant.

After all the arenas were prepared, a clear and loud bell rang out from inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

The bell rang nine times in a row before stopping.

Then a great demon walked out of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

This great demon was a Qilin beast with a blue-gold body, its scales shimmering with a metallic luster in the sunlight.

The Qilin beast was a hundred feet long and several tens of feet tall, looking majestic and exceptionally swift.

Looking at the large number of eager demons before him, the Qilin beast let out a loud cry:

"I, the current Palace Master of the Myriad Demon Palace, hereby declare the Myriad Demon Palace Grand Competition to begin."
