Black Robe was halfway in the sky, feeling depressed. His eyes were closed as he allowed himself to go with the flow in the air.
He had never expected Vigilante A to make an attack over a few sentences mocking him.
A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Did Vigilante A not remember this?
He could not believe that after all his research on Vigilante A’s behavior, he had still ended up being beaten over two sarcastic sentences. How did this happen?
All things considered, he was still lucky that he was not beaten to death and was only hurt badly…


If it were other powerhouses, he would never dare to shoot his mouth off in front of them…
These demon lords and saints would never have spared his life as Vigilante A did. If you dared to insult them, all it took was a guilty charge of disrespecting a sage and you would be finished.

This is terrible, the mission Master has given me is ruined! What do I do?
His mind was in a confused state.
He had previously simulated many different outcomes in his head, which included different outcomes of failure and success. He had never imagined that he had outsmarted himself by failing to even make it through the front door.
Man proposes but God disposes of the best-laid plans.
Who would have thought that Vigilante A would be so unreasonable, choosing to use his fist when he had lost at words.
It would seem all powerhouses were the same, if you could not reason with your opposition, then use your fists…
He had expected Vigilante A to be different, who would have thought he was also a bird of the same feather.
The problem was, what should he do now?
Directly report to his Master that he had failed because he got into an argument with Vigilante A?


It was not hard to figure out that even if his Master chose to forgive him, he would no longer be valued much. If he were to fail, it should at least happen on the verge of success…
He had failed at the very beginning, which would translate as incapability, not to mention stupidity.
Master was known as a wise saint, how could he take in a stupid man as a confidante?
Black Robe went deep in thought while sailing through the air.

Hey, this is a pretty good black robe, there’s a hint of a saint’s aura on it. It would be great to take it back for dear old dad as a welcoming gift and I get to save some money,
said a clear, crisp voice.
Black Robe frowned, when it rains it pours, who was this savage person?
Even his only treasure was about to be snatched away.
Is it not Vigilante A’s duty to catch thieves and robbers? Why not stop by now to handle this?
Black Robe opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice.
It came from a white cloud nearby. On closer inspection, it was actually not a white cloud but a big ball of cotton. A bit of green could be seen among the whiteness of it all.


Was that a big green insect?
Damn it, it was a familiar looking insect!
It was from Vigilante A’s camp. Although it acted tough, it was actually not that strong. Many might not be aware of that but as the subordinate of the Demon Lord, he naturally knew all of Earth’s powerhouses like the back of his hand.
The clincher, however, was that he was no match for the insect at the moment, it was quite humiliating…
He might have survived that heavy hand by Vigilante A but his internal organs were injured, his veins were broken and his ability was dispersed. He would not be able to fight anyone for at least a few months.

Urm, Miss Daqing, this robe is my shelter. If I were to gift it to you, I could lose my life. Please do spare me this fate,
Black Robe was forced to speak in humility, an act against his will.

Oh, there’s a live person in there? Wait, you look like a bad guy. The Great Azure Dragon said before that treasures should belong to the virtuous, which means this black robe is mine to keep. Dear old dad is coming down soon, I have to gift him something proper,
the voice once again came from the cotton ball in great delight.
Damn it!
Black Robe suppressed his anger. If it was before, he at least could have a diversion, but now, all he had was his glibness.

Miss Daqing, if you are looking for a gift, I can help you out with it, but this black robe has been with me for many years and has never been washed…
Black Robe was forced to reveal an embarrassing fact.


In reality, a treasure on this level does not get contaminated, why would it need to be washed like a mortal’s clothes?
Chong Daqing shook its head immediately at the words,
Yikes, that’s dirty. I don’t want it anymore. You did mention that you will help me get a gift. I’ll give you some money, otherwise, the Great Azure Dragon will start lecturing me about bullying others.


…
Black Robe did not know where to laugh or cry. Suddenly, an idea came to him.
He immediately said,
Actually there is a place with lots of treasures and no owners. If we go, it’s finders’ keepers…


Hey, that sounds good, take me there immediately,
said Chong Daqing excitedly.

Yes, yes, I will bring you there immediately,
Black Robe decided to compromise himself in humility. In order to achieve his Master’s plan, he was willing to give up his life, what more his pride?
He would make use of this naïve and unworldly little insect, there might even be an opportunity to take things further.
The Celestial Clan was an impressive clan. Their people might not be many of them, but each was equipped with great potential. Their position in the Upper Realm was only below that of the True Dragon Clan.
They had always been a target coveted by the demons. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to demonize them.
That was because they were born with everything and had little to ask for, unlike mortals who wanted everything. Mortals had strong desires and were very easy to demonize.


Although, even if a mortal had been demonized, most of them were just cannon fodder. Besides their body and soul, there was nothing else to be excited about. A lesser demon might enjoy them, but not a demon lord.
Now it seemed that this great green insect, the eldest daughter of the Celestial Clan’s Leader, was different from the others in the Celestial Clan and had many desires…
With this new idea, Black Robe forcefully turned towards the direction he was hit from despite his wounds…
Chong Daqing sat on its Big Cotton Ball and followed behind leisurely.
…
The pine forest valley was currently engulfed in flames, the Larch on the ground was ignited and the pungent smell of pine oil was attacking the sense. A flaming gate was faintly discernible.
Black Robe led Chong Daqing here. He was lucky that Vigilante A and the rest had already gone in…
He would not have expected that Black Robe would dare to return!
Black Robe sneered in his heart and turned towards Chong Daqing,
Miss Daqing, the flaming gate below is the entrance.


What? I’m not going in. What if I’m burnt to a crisp?
Chong Daqing stretched up and leaned at the edge of the Big Cotton Ball and looked down, shocked by what it saw.
If you were burnt to a crisp, I could have grilled green insect to eat… Black Robe thought with malice.
However, he needed it to be his protection. He tried to coerce it,
This is just a small test. If someone below Pond-level tried to get in, he or she would, of course, be killed on the spot and the soul would disperse unless they have a treasure protecting them. We will definitely be fine.


Are you telling the truth?
Chong Daqing might be muddle-headed but it was aware that this man with strong demonic energy was very proficient at lying.
Dear old dad had told it before to translate the words of the demons to mean the opposite of what they said…

I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, I can walk at the front,
Black Robe said righteously.
He had on the black robe that was personally granted to him by his Master. It was impenetrable. A mere flaming gate was not going to deter him.
However, from the flaming gate, it was apparent how vicious the Land of Sanguinity was. It was different from the other realms, which did not require anything to enter. If one got into the realm, even a mortal would have to the opportunity to own it.
Take the Yin Energy Realm, for example, the first master of the realm was a superpowered individual that was unheard of – Ma Dechun, who had the power of the Grimreaper.
Black Robe had long known this information, even the background of the Land of Sanguinity. This place was all about strength and fighting techniques with no room for frivolities.
It was for this reason that he had tried to convince Vigilante A to stay away by humiliating him with sarcasm. He had too much of an advantage here…
If Vigilante A was not here, Black Robe was confident he would have a 50% chance of victory as the Demon Lord had loaded many fighting techniques into his memory.
However, his success could only depend on the heavens as he had no chance at all with Vigilante A around. He did just get beaten with just one slap.
Now that he was entering, it was with the hope of getting lucky. Hopefully, there would be an opportunity waiting for him.
It was not really wishful thinking on his part, but as his Master was the wisest among the Demon Lords and should not announce failed missions.
If the Demon Lord wanted the realm, plans must have been laid out. All he needed to do was enter and there would be hope of success.
This was the reason why he was confident that nothing would stand in his way. He might not succeed upon entering, but he would definitely fail if he did not enter!
