After more than four months, the Great Competition held by the East Pole Demon Sect to select the best disciples finally came to an end.
Hao Ren and Wang Tai failed to enter the top ten of the Earth Demon Realm. Although they performed well in the competition, they didn't receive any rewards. However, many Demon King Stage cultivators were willing to accept them as disciples.
Because there were so many Demon King Stage cultivators willing to accept them as disciples, the old steward of the Imperial Beast Hall had a reason to refuse. In any case, the hunchback wasn't afraid of offending Demon King Stage cultivators.
Hao Ren and Wang Tai didn't want to become disciples of Demon King Stage cultivators because they could get excellent results in the next Great Competition and directly become disciples of True Demon Stage experts.
As for the Heavenly Demon Realm competition, Fang Yu actually entered the top three. Although he was only third place, he was still qualified to enter the East Pole Demon Cave.
Many Heavenly Demon Realm elite disciples separated from their original masters and were taken away by the Sect's True Demon Stage experts. Only Fang Yu was left untouched.
Among the several True Demon Stage experts of the East Pole Demon Sect, no one knew whether it was because they didn't fancy Fang Yu's aptitude or because they didn't dare to compete with Madam Liu for a disciple. In any case, Fang Yu who entered the top three was still Madam Liu's disciple, which made him a little depressed.
Although Madam Liu took good care of Fang Yu, Fang Yu didn't want to live a life of constant consumption of Yang Essence. He didn't know how long he could persist.
In Fang Yu's heart, he had long hoped to break off the master-disciple relationship with Madam Liu. Originally, this was an opportunity, but in the end, he found that this opportunity belonged to someone else and had nothing to do with him.
However, Fang Yu could also guess that his master was certainly not simple. He was afraid that she had a deep background in the Sect, so he felt a little better.
More than a month after the Great Competition, the hunchback old man suddenly looked for Xiao Lingyu with a puzzled face and said, "Just now, a message came from the Sect, saying that you should go to the East Pole Demon Palace."
The East Extreme Devil Palace was the place where the sect master of the East Extreme Devil Sect would discuss matters with the experts of the sect. If the East Extreme Devil Sect was compared to a kingdom, then the East Extreme Devil Palace would be the throne room of the royal palace.
Xiao Lingyu had been in the East Pole Devil Sect for a period of time. Naturally, he knew what kind of place the East Pole Devil Palace was. He asked in astonishment, "What do you want me to do?"
The hunchbacked old man shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it should be related to this Large Competition."
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, "I didn't participate in the competition. What does the competition have to do with me?"
The hunchbacked old man shrugged and said, "You can only find out after making a trip to the East Extreme Devil Palace."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Can I find an excuse not to go?"
The hunchbacked old man replied without hesitation, "Of course not. This is the Sect Master's summons. Even if one is in closed door cultivation or is unable to move due to heavy injuries, as long as one is not dead, one must go. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the Sect Master's orders. The punishment would be great."
"Go quickly. Don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong. The Sect won't trouble you. I think there will be good things for you if you go." The hunchbacked old man urged.
Xiao Lingyu didn't dawdle. He immediately went out of the Imperial Beast Hall's valley and quickly walked towards the East Pole Devil Palace.
The East Pole Devil Palace was also located in the center of the East Pole Devil Sect's encampment. It was not far from the arena. Moreover, it was one of the largest and most magnificent buildings in the entire East Pole Devil Sect. Xiao Lingyu could easily find it.
Along the way, Xiao Lingyu naturally had a lot of thoughts, but in the end, he let go. Even if the Spirit Demon Stage Expert attacked him for no reason, even if he was not a match for him, he could still escape. At most, he would suffer a little injury.
There was a small lake in the center of the East Pole Devil Sect. In the center of the lake, there was a small island. The East Pole Devil Palace stood on that island.
For the ordinary disciples of the East Pole Devil Sect, the vicinity of this small lake was a forbidden area. If they were not summoned, they would not dare to come here.
There were many restrictions around the small lake. There were also some hidden Array Formations. If one accidentally touched those restrictions or Array Formations, the end would be very miserable.
Before Xiao Lingyu could get close to the small lake, he was stopped by a Devil King Late Stage Cultivator.
After the late stage Devil King Realm cultivator asked for the reason, he personally led Xiao Lingyu to the side of the small lake through a safe route. Then, the late stage Devil King Realm cultivator started to form hand seals and recite an incantation. A small bridge slowly emerged from the lake.
Through the small bridge, Xiao Lingyu came to the small island in the center of the lake. Then, he met another Devil King Late Stage Cultivator. Under the guidance of that Devil King Late Stage Cultivator, he arrived at the entrance of the East Pole Devil Palace.
The gate of the Devil Palace was open. There were two Devil King Late Stage Cultivators guarding the gate. They looked straight ahead. Even if Xiao Lingyu came in front of them, they didn't look at him.
"Xiao Lingyu of the Imperial Beast Hall, come in!"
As soon as Xiao Lingyu arrived at the gate of the East Pole Devil Palace, he heard a loud voice coming from the main hall.
The two Devil King Late Stage Cultivators at the gate still didn't move. Xiao Lingyu's expression turned slightly serious. He calmed his mind and secretly restrained his aura before slowly walking into the main hall.
The main hall was very spacious. There was a wide red carpet in the middle, and both sides were filled with Devil Sect Cultivators.
Xiao Lingyu's state of mind was relatively calm. Therefore, he lowered his head and walked forward. He dared to look around a few times. He found that among the cultivators standing here, there were a few familiar faces. For example, Fang Yu, the woman surnamed Liu, and the old man surnamed Li.
The Sect Master of the East Pole Devil Sect was sitting at the end of the carpet. Like the other disciples of the East Pole Devil Sect, he stared at Xiao Lingyu, who had just entered.
After walking for about ten steps, Xiao Lingyu stood still. He cupped his fists and bowed. "Junior Xiao Lingyu greets the Sect Master!"
"You are indeed an extraordinary person."
The Devil Sect Master first praised him, and then said, "Such an outstanding person is indeed qualified to enter the East Pole Devil Cave."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu was even more puzzled. Listening to the Devil Sect Master's words, it seemed that he also had the opportunity to enter the East Pole Devil Cave.
But didn't they say that only the top three of the Battle Assembly had the qualifications?
He had been stared at by the Devil Sect Master for a while. With the Devil Sect Master's late-stage True Demon cultivation base, he could naturally roughly see his cultivation base. Xiao Lingyu never doubted this point.
"Alright. Now that everyone is here, I've said everything that needs to be said. For those disciples who wish to enter the Eastern Extreme Devil Cave, please choose a private room in the back and recuperate for a while. After three days, we will enter together."
The Devil Sect Master didn't say anything to Xiao Lingyu, nor did he ask anything. After saying this, he stood up and walked to the side hall.
"Farewell, Sect Master!"
All the Devil Sect cultivators saluted.
Xiao Lingyu was still confused because this matter was too sudden. While he was still at a loss, Old Man Li of the Record Hall came over.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Even if you didn't participate in the Battle Assembly, you still have the opportunity to enter the East Pole Devil Cave." Old Man Li said with a smile.
Many of the East Pole Devil Sect cultivators were very puzzled just now. They didn't know why the Sect Master suddenly added an extra quota.
Among the East Pole Devil Sect cultivators in the main hall, except for the woman surnamed Liu and Old Man Li, no one else knew about Xiao Lingyu's background. At this time, they were all looking at him curiously with suspicious faces.
It was precisely because others didn't know his background that Xiao Lingyu felt that he was suddenly called and had the opportunity to enter the East Pole Devil Cave. It must have something to do with the woman surnamed Liu or Old Man Li.
Entering the East Pole Devil Cave was a good thing for any disciple of the East Pole Devil Sect. It was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance. Xiao Lingyu reckoned that with his relationship with the woman surnamed Liu, she definitely wouldn't help him with such a good thing.
In that case, it could only be Old Man Li who had been throwing him an olive branch.
Xiao Lingyu indifferently replied, "Even if it's a good thing to act on someone else's behalf, they might not necessarily appreciate it."
Old Man Li didn't mind and said, "Hehe, whether or not they'll appreciate it, we'll only know after we enter the East Pole Devil Cave."
Xiao Lingyu directly said, "I don't know what your goal is, but I must tell you that even if you give me some benefits, I might not necessarily give you anything in return. If you have any ideas or plans, it's better if you tell me now. Otherwise, you'll waste all your efforts on me."
Old Man Li shook his head and said, "There's no rush. Since you don't want to come with me to the Record Hall, we'll talk inside the East Pole Devil Cave."
"You also want to go in?" Xiao Lingyu asked in astonishment.
"I'll go in every time." After Old Man Li said this, he leisurely walked towards the back of the hall.
Most of the cultivators in the hall began to walk towards the door, but Xiao Lingyu stood there in a daze.
When Liu Lingyu passed by, she stopped for a moment and said with a smile, "Be careful when you go in. There aren't only benefits inside. The stronger you are, the more dangerous it will be. Otherwise, why would there only be Earth Devil and Heavenly Devil cultivators every time?"
Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu's reply, Liu Lingyu had already walked to the door.
Xiao Lingyu's thoughts churned for a long time before he bitterly smiled and walked towards the back of the hall.
To tell the truth, Xiao Lingyu didn't have the slightest interest in entering the East Pole Devil Cave. However, this matter had already been decided by the Devil Sect's Sect Master and his true cultivation had more or less been seen through by the Sect Master. He had no reason to refuse and could only accept. After all, this wasn't a bad thing. It was much better than being besieged by so many experts.
The East Pole Devil Palace was extremely large. Naturally, it wasn't possible to only have one meeting hall. The left, right, and back of the palace had a few side halls and secret rooms. These places weren't usually provided for the Sect Master's disciples, but the disciples who wanted to enter the East Pole Devil Cave were arranged to stay in these secret rooms.
Xiao Lingyu randomly chose a secret room in the back and calmly adjusted his state of mind.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Lingyu, who was meditating, felt someone touch the door of the secret room and stood up to open it.
