Xu Guang touched his chin. Both he and General Wei had sensory thods, but they probably weren’t as exaggerated as the boast of this green-robed girl.
"Follow ."
"Okay, my na is Bai Xiaozhu, you can just call Xiaozhu. What’s your na?"
"Xu Guang."
"Alright, Xiaoguang."
Xu Guang couldn’t be bothered to correct the nickna; the crowd at the entrance was no longer dense, allowing the two to walk calmly, without the previous situation of being jostled around.
But the crowd ahead remained dense.
"Stay close to ."
The next second, Bai Xiaozhu felt herself pushed by a gentle yet irresistible force. Her body seed to lose its weight as Xu Guang shielded her from behind.
Facing the crowd, Xu Guang and General Wei pressed forward without dodging or hesitation.
General Wei, with a trace of anger, advanced like a bulldozer, pushing forward madly.
"How dare you!"
"Seeking death!"
So were naturally dissatisfied, but seeing the imposing General Wei, much of their anger dissipated.
General Wei was on the verge of breaking through to the Third Grade, and the aura around him was extrely violent. Coupled with Xu Guang’s near indistinguishable connection with his Divine Soul, he carried so of Xu Guang’s Martial Master’s Might.
Among the Third Grade, very few dared to show hostility toward General Wei.
Bai Xiaozhu was amazed, "Your Ancient Elephant partner is really formidable."
Xu Guang said nothing more and continued forward.
The passage leading to the Underground City was very spacious, several tens of ters wide, ample enough for General Wei’s actual form to pass through, though it was very long.
Though not slow anymore, it still took General Wei over half an hour to finally reach the first layer of the Underground City.
At the entrance, three Demon Hunter Inspection Envoys were already present, sitting cross-legged on a platform.
"The Third Grade enters through that tunnel."
One Inspection Envoy said lazily.
They paid little attention to Xu Guang.
This was normal; those with real strength had already gone in. By this ti, those entering were mostly not strong enough, unable even to run as fast as most, and hence not worthy of attention.
Xu Guang cupped his hands toward the two of them and then led Bai Xiaozhu toward the designated tunnel.
Just before entering, Xu Guang suddenly looked at Bai Xiaozhu, "Who sent you?"
Bai Xiaozhu was stunned, looking confused.
"We’ve never t before, so why seek out?"
"I’m not strong enough. I want to find a partner. My master said Beast Taming Martial Artists don’t cheat each other."
Xu Guang was surprised, "Were you tricked before?"
Bai Xiaozhu looked indignant, "A bad guy tricked Cai and into finding him demons for three years and gave us nothing in return, almost costing my assessnt slot."
Xu Guang: ...
It was basically certain that this woman approached him with no ulterior motive.
However, he still wouldn’t entirely trust Bai Xiaozhu, though having a partner skilled in tracking was indeed necessary, especially since he was unfamiliar with the Underground City’s specifics.
...
This was a scorched red wasteland, with a strong scent of blood mixed with sulfur hanging in the air.
This was the sixth layer of the Jingchen Pass Underground City, a place that suppressed Third Grade demons.
The ground was a scorched yellow, the top pitch black, and a faint blood-red mist shrouded the air.
’Squeak squeak.’
Cai’s agile figure descended from the sky, perching on Bai Xiaozhu’s shoulder, emitting a series of enchanting bird cries.
Its appearance was very peculiar, as if it had torn through space, and Xu Guang hadn’t even noticed when this colorful bird had left.
"Xiaoguang, over there is the Six-ard Demon Monkey you want, and over there is the Three-eyed Civet I need. Let’s head to the Six-ard Demon Monkeys first."
Bai Xiaozhu said generously.
Xu Guang gave Bai Xiaozhu a serious look, "No need to look at those. Ask your bird to mark the activity areas of all the Six-ard Demon Monkeys and Three-eyed Civets, and we’ll let others hunt them for us."
Without Bai Xiaozhu, he might have honestly hunted for the token from a Six-ard Demon Monkey, but with her, his original plan was unnecessary.
Now, he just needed to wait quietly.
On the last day, they would rob all the assessors on the sixth layer of the tokens they needed and whatever else they required.
Bai Xiaozhu was stunned, "Uh... are you planning... to rob them?"
Xu Guang naturally nodded, finding a place to sit and conserve his energy.
He believed that there should be quite a few who would choose the sa path as him. Although he wasn’t sure at the mont...
If all went smoothly, he planned to rob every assessor on this layer of their tokens, whether he needed them or not.
Competitors were those in the sa realm; his score wouldn’t matter if he could bring down all his opponents to zero.
Bai Xiaozhu looked at Xu Guang, horrified, "How could you think of sothing so evil?"
Xu Guang: ...
...
The outside world.
On the Cloud Piercing Boat.
The Nine Dragon Saint and the Tianwu True King sat facing each other, with a huge mirror before them, divided into nurous regions, each representing an assessor.
The mirror projected onto the giant square at the center of Jingchen Pass, allowing everyone to watch and proving that there would be no issues with this assessnt.
Previously, Gu Shuo hadn’t lied; anyone swearing to violate the rules couldn’t pass the assessnt, as this was personally supervised by the Saint.
"I didn’t expect you to co in person this ti."
The Tianwu True King said.
The Nine Dragon Saint let out a chuckle, "I also didn’t expect that you demon hunters would send out an old thing like you."
"Alright, stop pretending."
The Tianwu True King had no intention of beating around the bush.
