In the Heavenly Prison.

‘Kid, what I said is the truth. Don’t be fooled by those pretentious animals.’

‘I was once a Wuling Sect Sect Master with good character. They drove me to do all this.’

‘As long as you’re willing to help me escape, when I make a comeback, I’m willing to give you a hundred million high-grade spirit stones, ten top-grade magic weapons, a divine beast pet egg, five top-grade cultivation techniques, and a hundred immortal beauties. I’m also willing to let you be the Sect Master of my Wuling Sect and become an existence above everyone else.’

‘Little friend, are you listening to me?’

‘Don’t think that I’m lying to you. I can really pay you that much.’

‘As long as you destroy five of the array formations on my body, I will be able to escape. At that time, I will definitely pay you in full.’

‘Kid! Little bastard, say something!’

The Blood Demon’s voice echoed in Yu Chen’s mind.

This made Yu Chen unable to calm down and comprehend the Talent Tree. It was really uncomfortable.

The old Blood Demon was probably obsessed with Yu Chen and bombarded him with words for hours.

Most importantly, this fellow did not stop at all, causing Yu Chen to feel as if a demonic voice had pierced through his ears.

Most importantly, Yu Chen could not block out this guy. He felt terrible.

Finally, Yu Chen could not help but snap.

Yu Chen gritted his teeth and said, ‘Blood Demon, can you shut up and be quiet for a while?’

The Blood Demon said, ‘What did you say? How dare you scold me?’

‘Do you know who I am?’

Yu Chen said, ‘An old beast trapped in a prison!’

The Blood Demon said, ‘Kid, don’t do this the hard way. I can only verbally attack you.’

Yu Chen was speechless.

…

On the other side, Yu Chen was tortured by the Blood Demon in the Heavenly Prison.

On this side, Yu Chen received the mission issued by the sect master and immediately set off with Ning Yan.

Along the way, Yu Chen analyzed, “The news of me passing the first round of assessment should have already reached Wang Yun’s ears.”

“This guy has been eye-ing the position of the Immortal for a long time. He definitely doesn’t want a Saint who suddenly appeared like me to compete with him.”

“Therefore, if everything goes according to my expectations, Wang Yun will either send someone to disrupt my assessment or directly assassinate me.”

Listening to Yu Chen’s analysis, Ning Yan was filled with disbelief. After all, this was too different from the Wang Yun in her impression.

Therefore, Ning Yan couldn’t help but retort, “The position of Saint belongs to the capable.”

“Senior, you’re so powerful. Moreover, just like Wang Yun, you are also a member of the Hunyuan Sect. He should be happy that the Hunyuan Sect has another Saint. How can he be so petty?”

“In my impression, Wang Yun is not such a villain!”

After all, the Hunyuan Sect was not a demonic sect. The competition in the sect was about virtue.

Usually, competition within a sect would not have the mentality of sending the other party to eternal damnation…

Wang Yun was also a Saint, so he definitely knew about this. How could he harm Yu Chen?

Besides, Wang Yun did not know Yu Chen, so there was even less reason for him to harm Yu Chen.

One had to know that even though they didn’t know each other at all, he still wanted to kill Yu Chen or send him to Heavenly Prison.

This kind of person… he was crazy!

Ning Yan couldn’t help but nod.

Only a lunatic would send his fellow sect members to the Heavenly Prison and kill them.

Yu Chen did not explain further. “Just forget about it if you don’t believe me.”

There was still time. Yu Chen did not believe that Wang Yun would let him off.

Yu Chen was a genius who had suddenly appeared. Although his cultivation had not reached a high realm, Wang Yun was a person who would not allow any accidents to happen. Therefore, Yu Chen’s appearance had already gone against his interests.

After Ning Yan heard Yu Chen’s analysis, she hurried along the way without saying anything.

In fact, Yu Chen had brought Ning Yan along with ill intentions.

Although Wang Yun tried to assassinate Ning Yan, he was stopped by Yu Chen.

If Ning Yan did not follow Yu Chen, she would most likely become Wang Yun’s fiancée.

And exposing Wang Yun’s true character in front of his fiancée made Yu Chen secretly happy.

Still …

“But, let me be honest, you’re a little—”

Yu Chen suddenly smiled and said, “He already tried to assassinate you, yet you’re still speaking up for him. You’re simply a fool.”

In fact, when he read novels in his previous life, there were several instances in which Yu Chen had wanted to criticize some supporting female characters.

This time, Yu Chen could finally express his thoughts directly.

Ning Yan’s pretty face stiffened from Yu Chen’s scolding. She immediately waved her small fists angrily and said, “What?? You actually said that I’m stupid?”

Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan frankly and asked in confusion, “Did I say anything wrong? If you had any brains, you would have thought about it and agreed with me.”

“Senior… you!” Ning Yan’s beautiful eyes suddenly turned misty as she said in a choked voice, “Although it’s true… uh… but I… just can’t believe that Wang Yun would become that kind of person! I’m also here to seek the truth with Senior…”

Yu Chen stopped and scratched his head. “Oh… you seem to be right. Then I apologize. I shouldn’t have scolded you.”

Seeing that Yu Chen was actually apologizing seriously, Ning Yan stopped and turned her face to the side. “Hmph, that’s more like it. Anyway, I’m not a fool.”

A fool usually would not admit to being a fool.

Yu Chen was speechless.

Of course, Yu Chen didn’t say anything else.

Otherwise, this girl would probably cry on the spot. Yu Chen did not want to comfort the girl, so he did not say anything.

Yu Chen continued on his way.

Ning Yan looked at Yu Chen’s back and gritted her teeth as she stomped her feet and quickly followed. “Senior, wait for me!”

In fact, she had just followed Yu Chen’s train of thoughts and realized that she was indeed a little silly.

However, she would never admit to such a thing. Otherwise, she would not only be a fool but also an idiot.

Moreover, no one could accept that a refined and easygoing person was actually a beast in human clothing.

After catching up with Yu Chen, Ning Yan couldn’t help but complain in her heart, ‘Hmph! He’s so talented but doesn’t have a Dao companion. Indeed, it has something to do with his loose tongue’…

Just like that, the two of them left the sect.

Although the Hunyuan Sect occupied the entire Xuanming Mountain Range, the eastern side of the mountain range was occupied by the Blood Pool.

The blood pool emitted a terrifying bloody aura. Cultivators and living beings affected by the bloody aura would become monsters that only knew how to kill.

Inside the blood pool, there was a bloody barrier that even the Grand Elder of the Hunyuan Sect could not destroy.

Therefore, the area around the blood pool was classified as a forbidden area. The area affected by the blood pool was also used by the Hunyuan Sect as a place to train its disciples.

Before entering the blood pool, Yu Chen and Ning Yan were given a traction bracelet by the old man guarding the blood pool.

With the bracelet, they could walk in the blood mist without being affected by the bloody aura.

As soon as she entered the range of the blood pool, Ning Yan became nervous.

She hid behind Yu Chen and carefully observed her surroundings.

Yu Chen said, “The greatest source of danger here is not demons, but humans.”

Before Ning Yan could understand what was going on, she heard a gentle voice from the sky.

“The quasi-Saint is right, but this human doesn’t intend to hurt the lady. Please leave quickly.”
