“I heard the same thing. Looks like our search area has narrowed. But how to infiltrate the Demon Cult is the problem. The Demon Cult members are inhumane. If outsiders go in, they’ll definitely die, and the death would be horrifically gruesome,” Yang Ziru said seriously.
I burst out laughing, “You’re actually afraid? This doesn’t sound like you, idiot Ziru.” “Stop joking, be serious. This isn’t a game,” Yang Ziru remained serious. “Fortunately, Shang-ge came this morning.” I was frustrated, “What does Shang’s arrival have to do with how we enter the Demon Cult?”
“Shang-ge has some reputation in the martial arts world. With his protection, things will be safer,” Yang Ziru said. “Hey, what about me? I’m the ‘First Divine Constable’!” “That’s just a small title in the righteous path. Shang-ge is the ‘First Assassin’!”
“The ‘First Assassin’ isn’t you, so what are you proud of?” I said just as two people called my name from outside. I turned around to see Yu Mo and Shu Yang. “Wow, everyone’s here today.”
Yu Mo smiled, “We were planning to travel this month, and we’re all free.” I rolled my eyes, “Great, the trip will be to the Demon Cult, and we’ll lose our lives.” Shu Yang asked, “What do you mean?” I explained the situation and called Shang and Bao Xi over.
“Who among you are martial arts practitioners? Declare your top title,” I asked.
“First Assassin,” Shang said coldly.
“First Divine Doctor,” Shu Yang added. I broke into a sweat – I had so many top-tier experts around me. “What about Bao Xi?” Bao Xi tilted his head, biting his finger, “No top title, but I’m somewhat connected to the martial arts world – I’m a regular customer of the candied hawthorn seller!” I was speechless, “That doesn’t count!”
Yu Mo fell to the ground in despair, “Why are all of you martial arts practitioners while I’m not!” I and Yang Ziru dramatically sighed.
Yang Ziru continued, “Bao Xi is not suited for this. Let’s send him back to the palace. Yu Mo is too weak and hasn’t been exposed to the martial arts world. Shu Yang can’t fight either. You two wait at the inn closest to the Demon Cult in Huayuan Town for our support. Shang-ge will accompany us.”
