"A freak? That's a little rude," Yuan said with a calm smile on his face. "Aren't you worried that I might kill you for that offense?"
The purple-skinned demon trembled slightly before responding with clenched fists, "K-Kill if you want! The Supre Ruler will definitely avenge !"
She spoke with such confidence in her voice that it would've likely convinced even Buddha himself.
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you," Supre Ruler Dena suddenly joined in on the conversation. "Even I was not able to kill him, after all."
"What?"
The demon looked at her with a dumbfounded look on her face.
She wanted to ask for Yuan's identity, but before she could do so, Yuan spoke, "Anyway, a purple-skinned demon, huh? Even I have never seen a demon with your color before. Where are you from?"
Although the majority of demons were red-skinned and grey-skinned, there were occasionally demons born with rare skin colors, such as yellow, green, and even blue. However, Yuan had never heard of a purple demon before.
"You can ask all you want, but I won't tell you anything," she sneered.
"If you tell , I'll tell you my na," Yuan said with a faint smile.
"…"
The demon's body went rigid.
Though she had been left behind to watch them, she knew that wasn't her only purpose. The others hadn't said it aloud, but their expectations were clear. She needed to observe, probe, and extract whatever information she could from them.
"Fine, I'll tell you," she quickly agreed. "I'm from a small, remote land called the Violet Hollow."
Yuan turned to look at Supre Ruler Dena and asked, "Ever heard of it?"
Supre Ruler Dena fell silent for a mont, sifting through her mories before finally responding, "I have. It's a peculiar place where almost everything there is dyed in shades of purple, from the trees to even the waters surrounding it."
"As for the island itself, there's a massive hole at its center, hence the na."
"I have answered your question, Now, tell your na."
"My current na is Yuan, but I used to go by a different na in this place," he said with a smile.
"What were you called before?" she continued asking.
"That's not important, and I have already given you my na." Yuan shrugged.
"Anyway, I will let the Grand Abyssal Elder know that we'll be leaving now."
He left the next mont while Supre Ruler Dena stayed behind with the demon.
When Yuan returned to the valley, he was surprised to find thousands of demons gathered at the entrance, presumably the entire Abyssal Council, and they appeared to be ready to defend the place.
"Relax," Yuan said to them. "The Supre Ruler's lackeys have already left."
"But they will definitely co back!" Soone loudly shouted.
"No, they won't."
"How can you be so sure?!" "Because they are only here for us, and we'll be leaving now for the City of Blood to et the Supre Ruler there," Yuan calmly revealed.
The Grand Abyssal Elder appeared at the scene the next mont and said, "Even if that is true, it doesn't change the fact that we have sheltered you and lied to them. They will definitely return to punish us later. However, since they left and won't be coming back soon, we can use this ti to relocate."
"Sorry for the trouble," Yuan said.
The Grand Abyssal Elder shook his head and said, "There is no need for you to apologize, as such is the fate for people like us. I have barely escaped death once, and I will not allow it to get near for a second ti."
"It was an honor to et you again, Demon Sealer surnad 'Tian'."
The Grand Abyssal Elder turned to face the others and loudly commanded, "We're leaving! Pack your shit and return here within half an hour!"
"Yes!"
The demons imdiately scrambled.
Yuan didn't interrupt them and left without another word.
"Hey, we're leaving." Yuan used voice transmission to speak to Lev, who was still back at their living quarters.
Lev hastily followed Yuan back to Supre Ruler Dena and the purple-skinned demon.
"What's your na?" Yuan asked the demon when he returned.
"I'm not telling you until you tell your other na," she sneered.
"Then I'll just call you Purple," Yuan shrugged.
"Let's go, Purple. Lead us to the City of Blood," he then said, treating her like a guide dog.
Purple wanted to complain, but since that was her job, she decided to suck it up.
Shortly later, she started guiding them toward the City of Blood.
anwhile, in the City of Blood, the current Supre Ruler received news of the situation.
"Supre Ruler, we must evacuate the city imdiately and prepare to fight her!" The current Supre Adviser said with urgency in his face and voice.
"Fight her?" The Supre Ruler scoffed. "She's called the most powerful demon in history for a reason. Even I am not confident I could defeat her if we clashed directly without any preparations."
"Prepare the Demon God's Formation. We'll need to weaken her first before we confront her. I will also attempt to seek guidance from the Demon God, so I will be gone for so ti."
"Yes!" The Supre Adviser nodded before hurrying away.
Before he started preparing for the Demon God's Formation, the Supre Adviser made sure to send out an evacuation order to the entire City of Blood.
Of course, he didn't reveal the real reason behind the evacuation, as he was certain people would panic if they knew Supre Ruler Dena had escaped the Deprived Crimson Valley and was returning to the city soon.
Within days, the entire City of Blood beca as empty as a ghost town, resembling a certain incident that shocked the entire world, and the people started to speculate the reason for the evacuation.
anwhile, the Supre Ruler attempted to contact the Demon God at the Demon God's Altar.
