Chapter 1038: Chapter 1037: Baffling Chapter 1038: Chapter 1037: Baffling “Heh.” The young man dressed in white merely sneered in response to the hooded man's comments, showing little regard for his words.
The hooded man looked the youth up and down, smiling, “You might not necessarily be able to defeat me now.”
The young man in white, composed, replied, “I am not here to fight you, but to propose an alliance with you.”
“An alliance? Let's hear it,” the hooded man asked without a change in his expression.
The young man in white did not speak immediately, instead glancing at the silver-haired woman sitting cross-legged not far away, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
“Who is she?” the young man in white frowned and asked.
The hooded man said nonchalantly, “Just a demon beast in human form, pay no attention to her.”
Upon hearing this, the young man was slightly shocked. For a demon beast to transform into a human form required a significantly high level of cultivation.
The silver-haired woman showed no signs of being a demon beast, nor was there a trace of demon Qi on her. Such flawless transformation was likely not that of an ordinary demon beast.
What he did not know was that the reason the silver-haired woman had no trace of demon Qi was that the hooded man had sprinkled something on her to conceal it. Otherwise, no matter how perfect the transformation, there would be some remnants of demon Qi, which was unavoidable.
“Hurry up, why do you want to ally with me?” the hooded man urged, his impatience beginning to show.
The expression of the young man in white grew serious, “There is someone who, together, we need to deal with.”
“Who is it? Speak plainly, don't hide anything,” the hooded man said.
The young man in white explained, “Like you and me, he is an Inheritor of Supreme Shrine. He is my mortal enemy who once severely wounded me, nearly killing me. Now he has reemerged and has already arrived here.”
The hooded man touched his face, “What does that have to do with me? He's your enemy, you deal with him yourself.”
The young man in white sneered, “Do you think, if he kills me, he will spare you? As Inheritors, he will eliminate all other inheritors to gain everything we possess.”
The hooded man nodded, “That makes sense.”
Seeing that he might be persuaded, the young man in white continued, “Besides you, I have already reached an understanding with another inheritor. United, we will surely defeat him. It won't be too late to settle our own disputes afterwards.”
“Is there someone else?” the hooded man asked.
The young man in white nodded, “You will meet him soon, but have no worries. I have agreed with him that none of us will attack each other until we defeat that man.”
The hooded man laughed, “Since that's the case, then I agree to your plan.”
“Good, keep this Jade Slip safe for our communication,” the young man in white said as he handed over a Jade Slip to the hooded man.
The hooded man weighed the Jade Slip in his hand before placing it into his bag.
The young man in white gave one last glance at the silver-haired woman nearby, then stepped onto a verdigris copper coffin and quickly departed.
“That guy you just agreed to support. You don't even know who he is talking about, and you just accept like that? Aren't you afraid of being used as a pawn, unwittingly becoming someone else's tool?” the silver-haired woman said with a hint of mockery.
The hooded man just smiled slightly, “Who is the pawn, and who is the tool, that's yet to be seen.”
The silver-haired woman just sneered, not saying much more, as her focus was largely on healing.
“This Demon Saint position, does it really hold such appeal for you?” the hooded man asked casually.
The silver-haired woman glanced at him, her face full of scorn.
The man in the bamboo hat created an awkward situation, “That sounds like a truism. I guess any demon beast would want to become a Demon Saint.”
Three days later, the silver-haired woman's injuries had healed somewhat, and she could walk on her own. However, a trace of the Qin Emperor's domineering aura still lingered within her.
The man in the bamboo hat had already removed it, revealing his face—it was none other than Fang Lin, who had traveled all the way from Sea Moon City.
Originally, Fang Lin had planned to come to Chaos Demon Valley to train, kill some demon beasts, refine some pills, and improve his strength, with no other agendas in mind.
But as soon as he arrived at Monkey Head Town wearing the bamboo hat, he felt that Chaos Demon Valley was no simple place.
Chaos Demon Valley had become a place on the brink of tumult, with various groups flocking there, making the valley seem even more mysterious.
Although Fang Lin had no intention of getting involved, he had been swept into it and could not see the whole situation clearly yet. He could only take one step at a time.
Saving the silver-haired woman was a risky move for Fang Lin, but at the moment, it seemed she posed no threat to him.
Of course, necessary precautions were still essential; Fang Lin had already secretly placed some measures on her.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, Fang Lin noticed something amiss and slapped his Nine Palace Bag, but it was not a Jade Slip. Instead, someone from the Pill Alliance was contacting him using a Pill Refiner's badge.
“Duan Qilin?” Fang Lin fetched the badge and knew who was trying to contact him. It was Duan Qilin, one of the Pill Alliance's Nine Guards.
After the contact, Fang Lin frowned deeply, his expression continually changing as he seemed to consider something.
From the conversation, he learned that Duan Qilin was also in Chaos Demon Valley and was not alone but had come with two other members of the Pill Alliance's Nine Guards.
Because Fang Lin had disclosed his whereabouts earlier, Duan Qilin contacted him to ask if he was really in Chaos Demon Valley.
From Duan Qilin's message, Fang Lin learned some overwhelming secrets and understood why this seemingly insignificant place, Chaos Demon Valley, suddenly had various groups converging there.
There was a rumor that the last appearance of the previous Demon Saint, before his disappearance, was right in this valley.
Although the information could be false, it was still necessary to confirm its truth.
Therefore, elements from Nine Countries, both openly and secretly, sent people here, and the Pill Alliance was no exception, sending three members of the Nine Guards.
Now, Fang Lin understood why the Silver Fox had transformed into human form to come here—it seemed she too was worried that someone might discover traces of the former Demon Saint and had come here to prevent it.
Thinking this, Fang Lin couldn't help but lament his own luck. He had merely wanted to come for training, yet had still gotten wrapped up in such troublesome matters.
This tiny Chaos Demon Valley might soon become a battleground for various forces from the Nine Countries and the demon beast clans. Just how big of a conflict would erupt here was something perhaps no one could predict.
Under a sky-grazing ancient tree, many bodies lay scattered, among them seven or eight Demon Kings, dead in this tragic state.
Under the tree canopy, a figure stood with hands behind his back, looking up at the tree.
“Greetings, Fire King.” A dozen people quietly appeared, knelt on one knee, and greeted him in unison.
