"Can you tell me what's going on with the Black Demon now?"
After the other party activated the isolation array and inspected it, Fang Ming asked.
"Yes." Long Bufan nodded his head but didn't immediately explain. Instead, he replied with a question, "I wonder if Grandmaster Fang has ever heard of the Devil's Cave?"
"The Devil's Cave?" Fang Ming had his doubts, he had naturally never heard of them before.
"It's normal if I haven't heard of it. Although Grandmaster Fang's talent in painting can be said to be heaven-defying, his cultivation is still too low. I'm sure that the elders of Grandmaster Fang's family aren't willing to tell me about this in advance."
In regards to Fang Ming's doubts, Long Bufan was not surprised at all. It was as if he had expected them to come, and began to explain slowly!
"So according to you, the Black Demon can be said to be the public enemy of all mankind?"
After hearing the other party's explanation, Fang Ming's face became serious!
It turned out that outside of the Spirit Enlightenment Continent, there was also the Black Demon Region. And the passageway between the Spirit Enlightenment Continent and the Black Demon Region was the devil's lair that Long Bufan had mentioned!
However, the Infernal domain had already been sealed during the ancient times. As time passed, the sealing power became weaker and weaker. Finally, some Black Demon were able to break through part of the seal, resulting in a war between the human and devils that occurred 100,000 years ago!
The battle shattered the heaven and earth, the sun and moon lost their luster, and countless experts from the Spirit Enlightenment Continent fell. Fortunately, at that time, an extremely powerful Awakened Spirit Master came out, and with his heaven defying enlightenment, he created countless experts!
Under the leadership of the powerful Awakened Spirit Master, in a battle of adversity, Human Cultivator was finally forced back and the seal of Black Demon Region was repaired!
As for that powerful Awakened Spirit Master, he was also known as the Spirit Enlightenment King by future generations, and was also the founder of the Awakening Association. However, after the end of the Human-Demon War, no one had ever seen this Spirit Enlightenment King again!
Some people said that in order to reseal the Black Demon Region, the Awakening Spirit King had burned away all of its life. Others said that the Awakening Spirit King was too powerful, receiving the envy of the heaven and earth. It had already left this world!
There were also various claims, but no matter what, it meant that the Spirit Enlightenment King was no longer in the Spirit Enlightenment Continent!
However, this was not the important point. The important point was that although the Black Demon Region was sealed again, countless Black Demon were lurking inside the Spirit Enlightenment Continent, running out from time to time to bring disaster to everyone!
In the twenty to thirty thousand years after the end of the Human-Demon War, with the combined efforts of countless experts of the Spirit Enlightenment Continent, Black Demon was finally forced into the devil lair, and then the devil lair was sealed!
He was worried that the Black Demon would break through the seal in the future and return to the Spirit Enlightenment Continent. With the Awakening Association as the leader and the other large Guilds as support, they would always pay attention to the situation in the Devil Nest and treat it as a training ground!
Once in awhile, they would send a group of people to train in the Devil Nest. This would let the people of the Spirit Enlightenment Continent know that they still have a common enemy and could also help everyone get used to Black Demon's attacks.
But the consequence of doing this, was that the people of Spirit Enlightenment Continent could enter the devil lair to train, and the people of Black Demon who lived in the devil lair also had the chance to escape and harm the people of the world!
Fortunately, every entrance to the Devil Nest was monitored by strong warriors. Even if Black Demon managed to escape, they would be annihilated in a short period of time.
Of course, there would always be some who would slip through the net. There would always be one or two Black Demon s that would successfully escape and then hide themselves.
"En, Black Demon is indeed a public enemy of all mankind, the entrances to the Devil's Lair are basically guarded by the branches set up by the Awakening Association, because with the Awakened Spirit Master, over time, those places will become more and more powerful, and gradually develop into a Tier 1 Kingdom, or even Empire!" Long Bufan said.
Ten days ago, when he came out of the Five Yin Yang Pagoda and was attacked by the high level Spirit Envoys of the Awakening Association, Holy Saint Sun Moon's Holy Will had warned him that the Awakening Association could not be trusted!
However, what he heard today was that the Awakening Association was guarding the entrance to the devil cave.
Then what was the truth?
Who was the one that could not be trusted?
"And the cultivation of those qualified to enter the Devil Nest to train must at least reach the seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, and even if you understand them, you must reach the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage to be qualified to understand them. The reason why I was able to know about this matter, was because I met with an unexpected opportunity and saw a senior killing a Black Demon who escaped from the Devil Nest with my own eyes!"
At this time, Long Bufan added.
"Forget it, this matter is too far away from me."
In the end, Fang Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about it. However, he secretly thought that when he was strong enough, he would definitely go to the Demonic Cave to take a look. Naturally, he would also want to unravel the truth and find the answer to the riddle in his heart.
"Oh right, I have something else to ask you. How much do you know about the 4th Prince?" Fang Ming's heart suddenly skipped a beat and directly asked.
"The fourth prince?"
Long Bufan slightly furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. Then, he said, "Could it be that Grandmaster Fang is also looking for that person called Qin Shou?"
Hearing the other party's words, Fang Ming's gaze instantly froze. He did not think that Long Bufan would actually know of the name Qin Shou.
"Grandmaster Fang, don't be so excited!"
Feeling this chill, Long Bufan immediately explained: "Recently, there have been many people searching for this person called Qin Shou. Among them, the fourth prince chased them the most half a month ago, and there are many rumors that he had stolen the opportunity of the fourth prince!"
Many people want to find out whether Qin Shou received a treasure or a legacy, so I asked. However, according to the information I received, it has nothing to do with the treasure or the inheritance, but is actually related to an incident more than three years ago!
"Therefore, rumors might not be believable. If Grandmaster Fang wants to learn about the situation from the fourth prince because of those rumors, then there's no need to waste effort. He doesn't have any treasures or legacies!"
After listening to his explanation, Fang Ming finally felt the chill in his heart subside. Most of the people that Long Bufan was referring to, should be the people from Sacred Sword Sect, flying cloud pavilion and Sacred Flame Cult!
Of course, this did not exclude the possibility that others might take action. After all, if these three first-rate powers were to suddenly use all their strength to inquire about a person, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
"Mm, I have my own conclusions on that. I just want to ask you, did you know that half a month ago, the fourth prince sent out a strong power to pursue this person? What was the final result?" Fang Ming said.
"In the end, they were unable to bring him back, and the fourth prince was furious. It was said that the hunt went smoothly and they even captured him. However, on their way back to the capital, they were rescued by a mysterious expert!" Long Bufan said.
Receiving this situation, Fang Ming secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he started to wonder, who exactly saved Qin Shou, and why did they save Qin Shou?
