Grim Demon clearly paused for a moment before saying, "Fairy Burial does have some ability, but he's not my match."
"I've also seen a Guardian …" Zhou Wen described the Guardian in Ant City.
Grim Demon said coldly, "I've never heard of such a Guardian. I don't think he's that strong. He can be easily killed."
"You say you're powerful, but you can't prove it. How can I believe you?" Zhou Wen naturally didn't believe Grim Demon's bragging. He then asked, "How do you classify the strength of Guardians?"
"You will naturally know after you contract me." Grim Demon didn't answer Zhou Wen's question.
"Forget it. I see that the other Guardians have Mythical creatures protecting them. Only you are imprisoned here. It's obvious that you're not up to par. You might very well be the weakest Guardian. I'll find another Guardian." As Zhou Wen spoke, he prepared to turn around and leave.
Grim Demon was nearly angered to death by Zhou Wen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Human, after I leave, I'll naturally prove it to you and let you know how powerful I am."
"Forget it. I heard that a person can only contract one Guardian. I still want to leave my contract opportunity to a stronger Guardian. Even if it's not a top-notch Guardian, it should at least be mid-level. You don't meet my requirements." Zhou Wen shook his head.
Zhou Wen had no intention of contracting a Guardian at all. He only came in to take a look.
The method Wang Mingyuan had given him was to force Grim Demon to sign a special contract. That way, Grim Demon couldn't easily betray him like the other Guardians.
However, Zhou Wen felt that such a contract wasn't too safe. Although the special contract prevented Guardians from betraying him, Guardians could still regain their freedom if their master died.
If Grim Demon really had the intention to betray him, he could have killed him first before obtaining his freedom.
The demonic aura in the black cocoon surged like a tidal wave. The seven jade hoops were unable to completely block the demonic aura. The mysterious incantations and patterns on the walls of the jade room lit up.
On the stone walls of the tunnel, all sorts of patterns lit up, suppressing the terrifying demonic aura and illuminating the entire mountain belly.
Grim Demon was infuriated. He wished he could tear the human in front of him to pieces.
He had never suffered such humiliation before. If he wasn't trapped here, even if Zhou Wen knelt down and begged him to sign a contract with him, he would still have to see if Zhou Wen's aptitude and talent were up to the mark.
Now that he had lowered himself and taken the initiative to contract with Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen was still so picky. He said that he wanted it to be at least mid-tier. This nearly caused Killing Demon's soul to leave his body.
If not for the suppression of the Demon Suppression Mountain, preventing him from using his power to harm Zhou Wen, he would have killed Zhou Wen first even if he had to wait a few decades or a century to appease the anger in his heart.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but be alarmed when he saw Grim Demon's might under his rage. This fellow isn't completely bragging. He might really be able to fight Fairy Burial.
"Don't be angry. If it wasn't because you are too weak, why would you be imprisoned here?" Zhou Wen wanted to see if he could find out some secrets.
These Guardians seemed to come from different races. The dimensional races had created them and made them contract humans. It was unknown what their goals were.
"You don't need to know. If you don't want to contract, scram. Don't disturb my rest," Grim Demon said coldly.
"Wait, I just said that you were imprisoned here by humans. You didn't refute me. Could it be that you were really imprisoned here by us humans?" Zhou Wen suddenly realized a problem. When he spoke just now, he had subconsciously used his words.
However, from Grim Demon's point of view, he looked down on humans. When he heard Zhou Wen's words, he should have retorted.
Zhou Wen waited for a while, but Grim Demon didn't say a word. There was no reaction from the black cocoon.
It can't be. Was this fellow really imprisoned here by humans? Look at how silly he is. Could it be that he fell for a scheme of humans and was trapped here? The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
However, after saying a few more words, Grim Demon didn't react at all. From the looks of it, he didn't plan on paying any more attention to him.
Zhou Wen's hope of finding out the inside story wasn't dashed. Seeing that there was nothing else here, Zhou Wen had no choice but to retreat and return to Jade Emperor Peak.
Unfortunately, I have too many secrets. Otherwise, contracting Grim Demon would be a good choice. That fellow's strength is indeed extraordinary. Zhou Wen only had this thought.
He had so many secrets, so he definitely couldn't let a Guardian with independent consciousness and behavior follow him.
Zhou Wen used the power of Demon Suppression on Jade Emperor Peak to raise Gods Retreat. Occasionally, when he was free, he would run down to visit Grim Demon and attempt to chat with him, hoping to obtain more information.
Unfortunately, after Grim Demon learned that he wasn't willing to contract, he ignored him. Occasionally, he would say a few words, but there were no secrets to speak of.
During this period, Zhou Wen also discovered something. Indeed, the door to the Demon Suppression Hall didn't need to be slammed with all his might. All he needed to do was gently knock it open.
Is it fun to scam me? Zhou Wen gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Now, Zhou Wen finally understood that none of Wang Mingyuan and his disciples were serious. He definitely couldn't believe their words.
Zhou Wen had also tried entering the Demon Suppression Hall in-game. Wang Mingyuan's method was equally effective in-game. There were also black cocoons and Grim Demon below the game.
However, Grim Demon in-game couldn't speak, so there was no way to communicate.
"Grim Demon, have you heard of a Guardian with the word 'Thearch' in their name?" Zhou Wen had always suspected that The Thearch might be a Guardian.
Typical Mythical creatures didn't seem to have as high an intelligence as The Thearch.
"There are naturally Guardians with the name 'Thearch' in their name, but compared to me, they are far inferior," Grim Demon said coldly.
Zhou Wen had come many times, and Grim Demon was somewhat bored. He would chat with Zhou Wen in a lukewarm manner.
"Then are there any women among these Guardians with the name 'Thearch' in their name?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Of course, but even the strongest Netherworld Great Empress isn't my match," Grim Demon said.
Zhou Wen was already used to Grim Demon's boastful personality, so he wasn't affected at all. He continued probing, "I've been to Chess Mountain in the past and saw a Guardian who calls herself The Thearch. Do you know who she is?"
"What kind of place is Chess Mountain?" Grim Demon frowned.
"It's probably where Ancient Chaoge is. There's Deer Terrace Pavilion there …" Zhou Wen revealed some information about Chess Mountain.
