Zhu Long looked towards the East and beamed his satisfaction. ``I'm sure that things will start to get out of hand. But at least I got a good weapon in my hand. Let's hope there aren't too many enemies within the Village Head's residence.'

He was full of spirit and his aura was increasing rapidly. If anyone was close to Zhu Long at this moment, the only thing they'll be able to sense is the boy's monstrous killing instinct.

'Let's forget about the enemies that I may face for now and head towards the east.' Zhu Long thought as he started to leap towards the East. He was more than confident that the Village Head's residence would be at the East.

.....

"Kid, one of your Imps is dead. It seems like that mysterious boy killed him. If I had to guess, I would say that he would head towards the Village Head's residence. What will you do now?" An unpleasant voice came from the shadows.

"Teacher, I will face him, it seems like I have underestimated him. Well, it doesn't matter, I'm sure that teacher will help me take care of him." Another voice responded.

"Hmm, that might not be possible." The person disagreeably went against the other person's suggestion in taking down Zhu Long.

"Why is that!? I don't believe that anyone in the Village could be able to deal with your power! You are at the Void stage, even though that guy's power is unknown, I'm sure that his power is nothing close to yours?!" the disciple confusedly questioned his master's declaration.

"That is true, I wouldn't fear anyone within the village. But, I felt an unfamiliar qi enter the village not a few days ago. That would not be so bad but the main problem is that the unfamiliar qi was as powerful as mine. I fear that if they detect me, my cover would be blown." The teacher answered in an even more annoyed tone. It seemed that the person's position was a very important deal.

"That is truly sad. But with his power, I'm sure that he wouldn't be involved with my battle with that boy!" The disciple was very excited when he imagined himself battling with Zhu Long.

"Just you wait, I'm close to breaking through to the 3rd stage, as soon as I breakthrough... Our battle would be inevitable," The disciple proudly sneers while he got ready to go into meditative stage.

.....

As he got closer, he noticed that the Demons were marching in a line, like members of a military. Zhu Long hid himself, a task that would be difficult for many but something extremely easy for Zhu Long.

'I must say, not being able to control qi does have some upsides to it. One of which is that no one can detect my qi so if I were to hide in the environment, no one can detect me. I've also been trained to do stealth by oldie so I must say that I am lucky.' He smiled as he closely observed the group.

'There are 8 demons, the one in front must be the leader. By the aura he is giving off, he must not be at the Nascent stage, maybe the peak of Soul Forming while the others may be mid Soul forming stage. Not too weak for a small troop. I wonder what they are up to? This place is in between the South and East and also very close to the Village center.' Zhu Long speculated in his mind as he tried to get closer to the troops.

"DAMN IT! Just because the captain sense this powerful disturbance near the Southern Fortress, he gave us the mission to examine it. At the same time go undercover. Hmm..." The Demon Commander of the squad sighs heavily finding their task quite challenging. He glanced at his squads and notice the gloominess in their faces. "But even so, don't be discouraged boys... Who knows, not only will we get to kill that person causing such troubles but we might even get to feast on some humans. So, stop looking like dead meat, COME ON!"

Due to their inability to use qi because of the fear of getting caught, they had no choice but to rely on their physical strength alone. Which was the main cost to their exhaustion and displeasure of the task.

Hiding qi would not be a problem for those above the Nascent stage but for those At the Soul Forming stage and Qi gathering stage, it was beyond impossible. So they had to close off their meridians completely.

Zhu Long who decided to take his time and listened in, was taken aback when he heard what the squad's commander just declared. It struck him in shock as his mind became muddle about everything. "Wait? WHAT?! How.... The Demons... There are two groups?! That means that this so-called "Young Master" is from an entirely different group whilst these Demons are from the Army that the Village is at war with. Strange... Does this mean the Imp I fought was not part of the Army? I mean, wasn't Lilith the person in charge of this side of the Demon Continent* Could this mean like another leader, or wait... Impossible, is there like a conflict between them, it may seem possible though. Only one way to find out.'

*Swoosh*

"Hmm? What was that" The Commander was first to react after hearing the strange sound. As he slowly turned to check on his squad, his eyes dilated in horror of what he was seeing. Without any sound, one of his squad member's heads was cleanly chopped off. He shockingly watched the scenes unfold confused about the situation for he didn't sense any qi.

He looked around searching where the person could be but could only hear the sound of the wind.

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

As soon as the commander heard the sound closing in towards him, in a blink, he was on his knees. He saw two other demon's heads flying in the air without any reaction on their faces. Horrified by this, He roared loudly and jumped towards where he suspects the strange sounds came from.

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

This time, the Demon Commander has finally caught sight of the weapon that had made that sound. It was a circular blade. Someone had been throwing these circular blades to kill off his men.

"Commander! What do we do? Someone powerful has spott..*Kweak*" The last member couldn't even complete his sentence when his head came off from his body. Fear was written all over his face even after his head was no longer intact with his body.

"Hehe, only the commander is left." A dark and demonic voice came from the trees. As soon as the Demon Commander had heard that voice, the Demon Commander's knees shook with fear. He's been in various life-threatening situations, but this... they were nothing close to this one. I was almost like a dream, he looked helplessly and pleaded for his end, "Please, just end me!"

"I will but not now, I need some answers!" Zhu Long appeared in front of the Demon Commander. His face cold but elegant, his hair and robe fluttering in the wind. But still, at that moment, no matter how amiable his face was, it looked like death for the Demon Commander.

"What do you need? Please, just end my life! It has no meaning now that my brothers have died!" The Demon Commander collapses on his knees and continued to plead in front of the Demon like Zhu Long.

Zhu Long smirked with satisfaction.

"Tell me, who is the most powerful person in your army and his cultivation rank! Also, tell me if there are any Imps of the first Nascent stage within your army?" He asked in a deep and demonic voice.

Hearing Zhu Long's question, the Demon Commander didn't hesitate and answered," The Captain is the most powerful person in our army, His cultivation is 7th Nascent stage. There is only one Imp within our army, he is our vice-captain. As soldier Imps mostly work for the 'Royals', they are proud among the demons so almost all the Imps reject the offer to fight in this army. We were lucky that the vice-captain had owed our captain, so he had accepted to join this army, His strength is also at 7th Nascent stage."

He only seeks for his death and didn't care if he betrayed the army. For his brothers were already dead which means there was no meaning to his life anymore.

Zhu Long nodded," So it seems like there are truly two groups of the demons here."

He then looked at the demon commander, his face turned colder than before. He slashed the Chakram and cut off the Demon Commander's head and said, "You are pathetic for betraying your allies. If I were you, I would have never answered and accepted my own death with my own hands. If death was not possible, then accept all torture until my last breath."
