Chapter 1032 - Chapter 1032 Chapter 1031 Elder Tiger

Chapter 1032: Chapter 1031: Elder Tiger Chapter 1032: Chapter 1031: Elder Tiger “Members of the Blue Jade Sect, why don’t you give each of us three brothers a bottle of Vein Soothing Pill, and we’ll give up our spots to you,” said three spirit vein martial artists at another table to the people of the Blue Jade Sect.

All three of them were over thirty and looked somewhat weathered, clearly seasoned individual martial artists.

Zhao, with an indifferent expression, said, “We can only give you one bottle.”

Upon hearing this, the three hesitated briefly but still chose to exchange their spots for a bottle of Vein Soothing Pill.

Although it was only one bottle, for individual martial artists like them, a bottle of Vein Soothing Pill was already very hard to come by.

After taking the pills, the three left the place, and the disciple from the Blue Jade Sect who had previously let the man with the conical hat give up his seat let out a snort and glowered at the man with the conical hat before sitting down with the others from the Blue Jade Sect.

The man with the conical hat had a faint smile on his lips and showed no reaction, still leaning back lazily as if nothing had happened.

“Members of the Blue Jade Sect, are you also planning to enter the Chaos Demon Valley?” asked another individual martial artist.

Zhao replied indifferently, “What if we are?”

Seeing Zhao’s unfriendly attitude, the man didn’t take it to heart and said with a smile, “I have a suggestion for you. It would be best not to go in these next few days.”

“Why?” Zhao asked with a frown.

The man explained, “In the last few days, many Demon Kings have appeared around the perimeter of the Chaos Demon Valley, and two princes from the Qing Nation have entered the valley with experts. If you go in now, you are likely to run into a lot of trouble.”

Hearing this, Zhao’s expression grew somber.

What made him somber was not the news of the Demon Kings, but rather that two princes from the Qing Nation had actually entered the Chaos Demon Valley.

This was no small matter, as the Blue Jade Sect was a power under the Qing Nation.

Yet, they had not heard anything at all and were completely unaware that two princes from the Qing Nation had entered the Chaos Demon Valley.

“How did you know that two princes have entered the Chaos Demon Valley?” Zhao asked. He was disdainful of conversing with individual martial artists, but this matter was serious and couldn’t be neglected; he had to get to the bottom of it.

The man, who was over forty, said, “Ten days ago, many witnessed the arrival of two princes with numerous royal experts as they entered the Chaos Demon Valley. There is no mistake.”

Hearing him say this, Zhao’s brows furrowed deeper. It seemed the news was indeed true; two princes from the Qing Nation had really come here and had already entered the Chaos Demon Valley.

But why had two princes come here? What were they doing in this place?

“Brother Zhao, even if there are two princes in the Chaos Demon Valley, what does that have to do with us? Why the worried expression?” Yao asked.

Zhao shook his head, “Although it has nothing to do with us, if we also enter the Chaos Demon Valley and encounter people from the royal family inside, it will inevitably cause trouble. Perhaps the two princes have some secret affairs, and if we stumble upon them, it may be hard to end well.”

Hearing this, the other people from the Blue Jade Sect also understood, nodding in agreement, finding Brother Zhao’s reasoning to make a lot of sense.

“Then, Brother Zhao, should we go back?” someone asked.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao said, “For now, let’s stay here and observe the situation. We will make a decision after three days.”

Hearing him say this, the other people from the Blue Jade Sect had no objections, since waiting for two or three more days didn’t make much difference to them.

However, the man in the corner wearing a conical bamboo hat seemed to have been listening silently all along, a glint of a peculiar hue flashing through the eyes hidden beneath the hat.

At night, the members of the Blue Jade Sect seemed to have grown weary, and their conversation dwindled, as the lights were lit inside the inn.

Roar!!!

Suddenly, a beastly roar from outside startled the Blue Jade Sect members into alertness.

On the other hand, the individual martial artists appeared very casual, showing no reaction whatsoever.

But then, an elder, riding a black tiger over one meter tall, entered the inn; the roar that had just been heard was emitted by the black tiger beneath him.

The elder was dressed in white, starkly contrasting with the black tiger beneath him, giving him a peculiar appearance.

The members of the Blue Jade Sect were startled because the black tiger ridden by the elder exuded an aura almost akin to that of a Demon King.

Although it wasn’t a true Demon King, given time, this black tiger would inevitably breakthrough to the Demon King realm.

The fact that this elder could ride a black tiger that was on the verge of transforming into a Demon King signified that his own strength was already very formidable.

The members of the Blue Jade Sect did not recognize the elder, but many of the individual martial artists present did, showing a look of reverence.

“Hmm? You’re from the Blue Jade Sect?” asked the elder, looking towards Zhao and the others with an unflappable tone.

Zhao did not dare to be negligent, as the elder clearly was a powerhouse. He got to his feet immediately, cupped his fists in greeting: “I am Zhao Shixian, the chief disciple of the Blue Jade Sect; may I ask for your respected name?”

The elder frowned, “What are you Blue Jade Sect people doing here?”

Seeing the elder’s unfriendly attitude, Zhao Shixian dispensed with further courtesies and said, “We are naturally here to enter the Chaos Demon Valley.”

“Then you can go back; the Chaos Demon Valley is not a place for little children like you to enter,” the elder said coldly.

At these words, the Blue Jade Sect members were even more displeased. After all, they were from a major sect and were proud at heart. Even if this man was an esteemed senior, it did not give him the right to look down on them.

Immediately, Zhao Shixian’s expression turned cold, “We do not need your finger-pointing in our affairs.”

The elder glanced at Zhao Shixian, gave a cold laugh, but said no more. He looked around and noticed a person wearing a conical hat in the corner, his expression revealing a hint of doubt.

“Elder Tiger, what’s the current situation in the Chaos Demon Valley?” An individual martial artist asked the elder with great respect.

Elder Tiger was not indifferent to these individual martial artists and replied, “A lot has happened, it’s not very peaceful. Besides the two princes from the Qing Nation who have entered, there are also some people with unknown origins who have gone in. You better not go near it for now, trouble is likely brewing.”

Upon hearing these words, the individual martial artists nodded one after another, holding Elder Tiger in high regard and having great faith in his advice.

The people from the Blue Jade Sect did not know who Elder Tiger was, but the regular individual martial artists were very clear about his repute. Elder Tiger was a renowned figure. Although he was also an individual martial artist, he was far more successful than the average, not only possessing immeasurable strength but also frequented the Chaos Demon Valley and was very familiar with the environment within.

One could say that Elder Tiger was the local authority and a well-connected figure in the Chaos Demon Valley. Anyone wanting to scrape a living here had to deal with Elder Tiger.

Furthermore, Elder Tiger and the powerhouse stationed in this area from the Qing Nation were sworn brothers, with this relationship in place, Elder Tiger naturally had an easy time around here.
