Chapter 1244: Chapter 1243: Demon King Soon, Lin Dong arrived at Blood Cliff. In the belly of Blood Cliff, there was a dark cave. According to the Red Rat and Grey Snake, the Black Sorcerer Sacramental Ceremony scheduled for the day after tomorrow would be held within this dark cave. Inside the cave, there seemed to be some Witch Formations, which Lin Dong naturally wanted to investigate firsthand. With a "swoosh," Lin Dong’s figure, like a ghost, avoided the guards stationed beside Blood Cliff and stealthily entered the dark cave. Upon entering, Lin Dong found that the interior was filled with complex Witch Formations. Had he not received the Legacy of the Sovereign Witch, entering this dark cave now would undoubtedly trigger the formations and alert the people of the Black Sorcerer Palace. Fortunately, having acquired the Legacy of the Sovereign Witch, he could identify these formations. He cleverly avoided the formations and continued deeper into the cave. After walking for a few minutes, he arrived in an incredibly vast Great Hall. The ground of this hall was engraved with a six-pointed star, and above, there stood twelve stone pillars. The pillars were also engraved with Witch Text. However, unlike the Sovereign Witch Sect, the twelve pillars here were inscribed with Black Sorcerer Text. Moreover, in the front of the Great Hall, twelve divine statues were enshrined. These twelve statues were modeled after the twelve zodiac animals. However, the expressions they bore were extraordinarily terrifying. Their heads were those of the twelve zodiac animals, but their bodies were human. And their eyes emitted a sinister light, as if they were alive. At the rear of the Great Hall, there was a passage. Lin Dong was quite curious about where that passage led. He originally wanted to enter the dark passage at the back, but at that moment, he sensed an evil, bloodthirsty aura from the end of the dark passage. At the same time, a voice from the Sovereign Witch came through the Soul Ring on Lin Dong’s finger. "Ah, it’s actually a demon beast, and a Four Star Demon King at that." Hearing the voice of the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong communicated with her using his mental power. "Senior Sovereign Witch, what’s a Four Star Demon King?" Lin Dong asked. The Sovereign Witch explained, "In your era, the spiritual energy is too sparse, so it’s rare to see demon beasts. "Not to mention this kind of Demon King, but in our time, demon beasts were quite common. They evolved into a species with terrifying strength after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi." "They also have ranks, like the Demon King strength I just mentioned, which is roughly equivalent to Earth Realm martial artists. And a Four Star demon beast corresponds to a Stage Four Grandmaster in your terms..." Lin Dong suddenly understood, as he had encountered demon beasts before. He had once gone to Jilong Mountain to search for the Thousand Year Snow Lotus, and there was a Flood Dragon guarding nearby. That Flood Dragon was probably a Quasi-Demon King. "This Demon King is likely a subdued Witch Beast, a Fire Thunder Blood Bat. It would be best not to step into that dark passage now, as it can sense your aura." "If so, its master will also be aware of your presence!" The Sovereign Witch warned Lin Dong. Lin Dong nodded. The fact that there was a Demon King in this cave at Blood Cliff was beyond his expectations. At the moment, he concealed his aura and quietly left. After he had left, he couldn’t help but continue communicating with the Sovereign Witch, asking, "Senior Sovereign Witch, you mentioned just now that this Demon King has a master?" "Are Demon Kings, such powerful beings, also capable of recognizing their masters?" "Of course, in our Witch clan, we possess many cultivation techniques to subdue demon beasts. Our Wizard Ancestor once tamed an Iron-beast, which was even more powerful than the Taotie. It could swallow the sky’s fire, the vast waters, and even the demon wind of heaven and earth... Back then, it saved many humans..." As she said this, she suddenly stopped speaking. Lin Dong, once again curious, asked, "Senior Sovereign Witch, I’ve always been curious about who is stronger, you or the Wizard Ancestor?" "You little rascal, stop trying to pry answers from me. Well, I need to go into slumber..." After saying this, the Sovereign Witch fell silent. No matter how Lin Dong tried to communicate through mental power, she didn’t respond. "Always leaving things half-said, really can’t stand this cryptic person..." Lin Dong muttered. Glancing at the dark cave on Blood Cliff, Lin Dong shook his head, deciding to leave for now. He had wanted to check out the dark passage behind the great hall to see what was inside, but because the Demon King was there, Lin Dong had to give up. Lin Dong guessed that this Demon King was probably a demon beast tamed by the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace. A Four Star Demon King, equivalent to a Stage Four Grandmaster. The power of the Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace, who had managed to subdue it, was truly not to be underestimated. Lin Dong also dared not be careless, and grew even more cautious about the upcoming great battle. After returning, Lin Dong went back to his room and saw that Tang Mu and Su Mei were still awake. They were in their pajamas, sitting on the bedside talking. Seeing Lin Dong return, both lit up and walked toward him. "Lin Dong, you’ve finally come back. I was really worried just now," Su Mei quickly said. She was very worried that Lin Dong couldn’t come back, which would spell disaster for her and Tang Mu. Lin Dong laughingly said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine." As he was saying this, Lin Dong sensed several breaths approaching. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "A dark sentinel is coming soon, don’t speak. Follow my lead and act when the time comes." "Oh, okay," Tang Mu and Su Mei both were startled, quickly nodded, and refrained from speaking. They dared not speak of Lin Dong’s undercover operation! Lin Dong sensed that three breaths were approaching him. The owners of these breaths were the three men in black that Lin Dong had identified at Bai Long’s place. It seemed Bai Long had sent them to investigate. Lin Dong whispered, "They’ll be here soon; turn off the lights. Let’s all get into bed." Tang Mu and Su Mei quickly nodded, turned off the lights, and got under the covers. And at that moment, Lin Dong also slipped into the bed. "They are outside the window, follow my lead..." Lin Dong whispered into their ears, his voice smaller than that of a mosquito, as he spoke to them. Tang Mu and Su Mei, truly worthy of being actors who had played many roles, immediately got into character and began acting with Lin Dong. Although they had never acted in such bed scenes in any TV series or movie before, as the saying goes, though they haven’t seen a pig run, they have eaten pork. As actors, they had seen this kind of scene before. At that moment, both of them utilized their acting skills, coordinating with Lin Dong and began acting...
