Chapter 14: The Demon King, Acquiring a Peerless Sword Technique

“I’m just like you, a disciple of Clearview Sect, here to guard the Myriad Demons Realm.”

The red-nosed elder smiled as he spoke, sizing up Logan Carter with a look of amazement.

“Third level of Foundation Establishment, but the speed of your cultivation breathing technique is far beyond that. I’d guess you’ve already reached the ninth level, haven’t you?”

Logan Carter immediately became wary.

He’d been seen through.

This was the first time he’d met someone who could see through his cultivation so directly.

Could this person’s cultivation be on par with Fairy Ruby?

“No need to be nervous. Did you come here on your own, or did your master send you?” the red-nosed elder asked.

With Logan Carter’s attitude toward cultivation, he didn’t seem like someone who would come here voluntarily.

Logan Carter replied, “My master, Fairy Ruby, sent me.”

I have backing, don’t try to scheme against me!

[Quincy Thompson has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star]

A line of text appeared before Logan Carter’s eyes.

He quickly pulled up his attribute list to check his relationships.

[Quincy Thompson: Eighth level of Nascent Soul, head of Clearview Sect, admires Fairy Ruby, current favorability: 1 star]

Head of Clearview Sect!

Isn’t that the sect master?

Logan Carter was shocked.

This guy actually likes his master?

Just imagining Quincy Thompson and Fairy Ruby together made him shudder.

Quincy Thompson isn’t worthy!

“Did your master give you any tasks?” Quincy Thompson asked.

Logan Carter replied, “Even if there were, how could I tell you?”

Quincy Thompson grinned, “Oh? A task you can’t tell others about?”

Logan Carter fell silent.

Quincy Thompson stretched lazily and said with a smile, “Then come with me. You’ve gotten yourself into trouble. For your master’s sake, I can help you resolve it.”

Logan Carter was puzzled but got up to follow.

As the head of Clearview Sect, Quincy Thompson probably wouldn’t harm him.

The two of them walked into the forest.

“Do you know why I came here?” Quincy Thompson asked with his hands behind his back, smiling.

Logan Carter shook his head.

Maybe because he’s a simp, but he couldn’t say that—the sect master has his pride.

“The number of demon beasts near you is increasing, and there’s a tendency for a riot. The key is, these demon beasts are currently very well-behaved, as if they’re lying in wait. To command so many demon beasts, it must be the work of a demon king. I suspect you’ve provoked the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart. This little one’s father is a renowned demon king, and it’s born with the bloodline of a demon king. For it to gather so many demon beasts, it can only be to deal with you.”

After hearing Quincy Thompson’s words, Logan Carter couldn’t help but think of the white cat from two years ago.

Could that have been the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart?

Logan Carter recounted his previous experience.

“Your movement technique is actually faster than the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart?” Quincy Thompson asked in surprise.

Could this kid have received the true teachings of my junior sister?

Thinking of what Fairy Ruby had said before, Quincy Thompson nodded to himself.

[Quincy Thompson’s favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability: 1.5 stars]

Logan Carter raised an eyebrow and said, “I’ve learned a movement technique. It’s normal for me to be faster than it.”

He immediately felt balanced inside.

So it’s not that he’s weak, it’s just that the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart is really fast. If it were any other disciple, they probably couldn’t keep up!

Led by Quincy Thompson, Logan Carter arrived at the edge of a cliff. Looking down, he saw the wilderness below teeming with demon beasts.

Each demon beast looked terrifying. The big ones were like small mountains, the small ones were all sorts of insect demons, some as big as washbasins.

It was the first time Logan Carter had seen such a sight, and his face turned pale.

He roughly counted—there were at least a thousand demon beasts.

If they all stormed the pavilion where he lived, they could easily flatten it. He’d have no choice but to run.

His gaze landed on a large rock, where the white cat from two years ago was sleeping soundly.

Logan Carter was speechless.

His luck was just too good—he’d run right into the little demon king.

“Senior, you said you’d help me solve this. Are you going to kill it?” Logan Carter asked.

Quincy Thompson glared at him, “This White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart has tremendous potential. If I kill it, won’t the sect come after me?”

Logan Carter said gloomily, “Then how do we solve this?”

“You go subdue it!”

Quincy Thompson stroked his beard and smiled.

As soon as Logan Carter heard this, he turned to leave.

With so many demon beasts, how was he supposed to subdue them?

“You brat, where do you think you’re going!”

Quincy Thompson quickly pressed down on his shoulder, annoyed.

How did my junior sister end up with a disciple like this!

“I’ll set up a formation to trap them here. At most, five years. If you can subdue the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart within five years, I’ll reward you with Clearview Sect’s ultimate technique,” Quincy Thompson said seriously.

[You are facing a task from the head of Clearview Sect, Quincy Thompson. You have the following choices:]

[Option 1: Accept the task and do your utmost to subdue the White Dragon with a Tiger’s Heart. You can obtain Quincy Thompson’s ultimate technique as a reward, the demon king’s enmity, and the attention of the Qingming Demon Sect.]

[Option 2: Refuse the task and continue cultivating. You can obtain a sword technique manual, but Quincy Thompson’s favorability will decrease.]

Huh?

The demon king’s enmity?

The attention of the Qingming Demon Sect?

Logan Carter nearly exploded.

He immediately organized his words and said, “Senior, forget it. You’d better find someone else. I’m really scared. I just want to cultivate in peace.”

Quincy Thompson was stunned.
