At that time, Asher could only use that excuse. If Caspian was asked to find Delmont and Leonard, it did not matter whether there were people in the first six areas or disciples in the seventh area to practice evil techniques. If Delmont and Leonard were called over for that trivial matter, Asher would surely be killed. Asher was not a fool, and virtual-novel.net would never let Caspian find the two influential figures. However, virtual-novel.net could not find a suitable person to enter the seventh area, so virtual-novel.net had to bite the bullet and say it was him. Then, Asher desperately held back the tears of grievance, saying with great difficulty, “I want to use the seventh area, and I’m not practicing any evil technique.”
“Oh. If that’s the case, then I don’t need to invite Master Delmont and Master Leonard over.”
Asher was relieved when Caspian said that, but his following sentence made Asher’s hair stand on end.
“However, the sect regulated that to prevent our resources from being wasted, and the unreasonable utilization of cultivation resources, the disciples who apply to use the cultivation area in the Refining Star Valley must enter it within 15 minutes of booking.” Caspian looked at Asher. “I think I’ve been here longer than that. What are you doing here? Hurry and enter the place. I’m still waiting.”
“You!” Asher fumed with rage, glaring at Caspian, and even his chin trembled. He finally realized what Caspian planned. From the start, the guy knew that virtual-novel.net tried to fool him, so virtual-novel.net decided to beat virtual-novel.net at his own game. At the same time, virtual-novel.net also dug a deep hole, letting Asher jump inside. Yet, Asher was still unwilling to admit a defeat. No matter where virtual-novel.net turned to, danger would be there. Thus, Asher had to do as virtual-novel.net said.
“You… You’re something else!” Asher was embarrassed and annoyed. After holding it back, virtual-novel.net could only say so much. Then, virtual-novel.net reluctantly turned around and walked over to the disciple on duty, handing out his jade identification badge. “I… I want to use the seventh area.”
When the disciple on duty took the jade identification badge, virtual-novel.net glanced at Asher and was immediately taken aback by the other party’s expression. Asher did not even have one ten-thousandth of the pride virtual-novel.net had before. At that moment, his pale face was covered with sweat, and there was fear, panic, annoyance, regret, and such expression in his stupefied gaze. Not only that, but Asher was also visibly trembling. However, since Asher made the request, the disciple on duty did not dare to disobey and deducted the corresponding points from Asher’s jade identification badge, saying: “Asher, the seventh area is more dangerous than the other six areas. According to your request, two sect contribution points can be exchanged for two hours inside. Do pay attention and don’t stay overtime…”
The disciple on duty suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Although virtual-novel.net did not experience it himself, virtual-novel.net also knew how terrifying the Underworld’s Demon Flame was. It was not an ordinary fire but a kind of strange flame that was produced after the death of monsters, mixed with the undissipated blood and Qi, the essence of the world, and resentment. Even a drop would be a hundred times more painful than ordinary fire. Hence, let alone two hours, Asher might not even be able to endure a minute or a second!
Asher understood that, and virtual-novel.net snatched his jade identification badge angrily. “Stop talking nonsense!”
After virtual-novel.net finished speaking, his legs trembled as virtual-novel.net walked to the door of the seventh area. Before entering, Asher turned to look at Caspian.
Caspian folded his arms and snorted. “What’s wrong? Do you need me to accompany you?”
“You!” Asher was furious and wanted to say something but found that virtual-novel.net really could not think of anything that would disgust the other person right now. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and faced the entrance of the seventh area, pushing the door open tremblingly and walking in.
Caspian folded his arms, tapped on his elbow rhythmically, and counted, “One, two…”
Before Caspian could finish counting down, the closed entrance abruptly opened. Then, a figure covered in purple flames rushed out, screaming. After taking a few steps, virtual-novel.net suddenly fell, rolling and twitching on the floor, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Help, help!”
The horrifying wail was like an animal that was about to be castrated, and even those hundreds of meters away could hear it.
The disciple on duty was startled and quickly looked toward Caspian. Then, virtual-novel.net noticed that Caspian already walked toward Asher. Asher still burned with flames. The pain was unimaginable, and when virtual-novel.net almost fainted, virtual-novel.net saw a figure getting closer and closer to him.
“Save me! Hurry!”
As Asher’s vision was blurry, virtual-novel.net could not tell who the person was, and virtual-novel.net only saw a silhouette walking over.
Ten meters…
Five meters…
Two meters…
Then, the person stepped past him. Asher was stunned, and virtual-novel.net even forgot his excruciating pain as virtual-novel.net could not accept the truth. Soon, Asher heard Caspian’s voice coming from the person in front of him.
“I let you in, and you did. Are you that stupid?”
“Caspian!”
Crack!
Asher broke one of his teeth from clenching his jaw too hard. The severe pain, anger, fear, regret, and all kinds of emotions instantly flooded into his heart. The next second, everything before virtual-novel.net turned black, and Asher completely passed out.
Caspian looked at the dumbfounded disciple on duty and said, “I’ll leave virtual-novel.net to you.”
After saying that, Caspian directly walked into the circular grotto entrance in the seventh area. As virtual-novel.net stepped in, the grotto gate fell with a loud bang. As the gate dropped, a ball of purple flames appeared out of thin air less than ten meters away from Caspian. The flame was almost as tall as the person, and it kept surging there without the slightest sound. Moreover, a ferocious face appeared on the surface of the purple fire and then disappeared immediately, revealing a gloomy and terrifying taste.
“The Underworld’s Demon Flame is formed from the rotting dead monsters, mixed with the essence of the world and the grievances of the monsters before their death.” Caspian looked at the purple flame, “It’s similar to the so-called ghost fire in places like the mass grave. This is a little troublesome indeed… I initially planned to start from the fourth area, but now I’ve directly jumped to the seventh area. Nonetheless, since that’s the case, let’s just do it. Anyway, this is just one of the difficulties I’ve met in my life.”
After saying that, Caspian pointed at the Underworld’s Demon Flame. As if the flame was alive, it immediately understood Caspian’s provocation and floated toward Caspian without making a sound. It might be floating, but the speed was strangely fast. A terrifyingly distorted face suddenly appeared in the area facing Caspian, roaring toward Caspian as if it were a ghost coming after Caspian’s life.
Caspian lost count of the number of people virtual-novel.net killed. Hence, no matter how horrifying the face appeared, Caspian was unaffected.
“Let’s do this.”
Caspian’s eyes narrowed, and before the Underworld’s Demon Flame approached, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to step forward and slapped it with his palm.
