What made Demon Tao and even Demon Yan feel great fear was Cain''s overwhelming future potential. Even if Cain''s cultivation were to suddenly slow down tremendously, his future would still be overwhelmingly bright.


    His cultivation base may be limited, for now, but it can already suppress a vast majority of Divine Star geniuses. The density, thickness, and intensity of Cain''s Inner World energy were tremendous.


    Furthermore, the profound principles within his Divine Laws can directly suppress his foe''s Divine Laws on a fundamental level, causing them to be weaker than him.


    Demon Tao could still recall what he felt when standing before Cain''s Divine Aura. That suffocation within his chest couldn''t be faked. Without using the full power of his Inner World, he felt as if there was no possible way he could ever match Cain. His Laws would''ve been obliterated in an instant.


    Demon Tao can count on one hand who can make him feel so breathless, so threatened, so alert!


    Great Divine Sea cultivation didn''t matter at all. In Demon Tao''s mind, Cain was already a Divine Star expert. And when Cain actually starts progressing through the Great Divine Sea realm, his pressure would only increase.


    A simr sense of fear permeated through Demon Yan''s mind as well. The numerous battle recording of that duel still presented enough of a picture of Cain''s overwhelming prowess.


    Demon Yan knew he would fare no better if he was the one that had stood against Cain.


    Of course, neither Demon Tao nor Yan forgot about the enigmatic ck hair Lady always attached to Cain''s side. With her, she was a mix of mystery and considerable fear.


    While Amber''s battle prowess isn''t as showy as Cain''s, everyone can still understand that her Spirit energy techniques are superb. She could end matches in one move by simply incapacitating her opponents.


    Naturally, with her breakthrough into the Great Divine Sea realm, the demon duo assumed that Amber''s prowess experienced a tremendous growth surge.


    Demon Yan''s expression twisted. Killing intent overflowed from his eyes as he said, "You know, I''m still a bit unwilling. Isn''t there anything we can do? Some kind of scheme to at least affect them in some way. If not killing them, what about affecting their cultivation progress or mental state?"


    Seriously contemting the matter, Demon Tao stayed silent. His hands subconsciously clenched, simr killing intent filling his bones.


    But a momentter, a helpless expression crossed his face. "I just don''t see any way we can. For resources, they could just rely on the Zhou Family and never step foot outside. For their rtionship? Those two stick together like glue and have could disposition towards other. Anyone we send would most likely get killed by them. Above all, we can''t increase outside pressure because of their rtions with Jiang Ling. They may not be able to directly sh, but Lord Wen Dao can easily deal with anyone we send and possibly make our own lives harder."


    Demon Yan furrowed his brows. Unwillingness swelled within as he spoke with massive discontentment in his tone. "Would he really go so far for them? I understand that their future is quite terrifying. But still, this seems a little much..."


    "In our eyes, maybe it is a bit much." Demon Tao shrugged. His expression slowly shifted as he continued to say, "But really, what do we know? For a while now, the Divine Ruler Elders and the other seniors were acting mysterious in their persistence in gathering talent. And ever since the Heavenly Great World geniuses disappeared, it has only gotten worse. Just look at the entrance examsing up. It''s supposed to be at least a year before another one appears, but this one came only monthster. Whatever going on, it''s evident people like Lee and Xun will be important."


    Though Demon Tao calmly exined, he and Demon Yan still felt ufortable about being left in the dark. A storm could possibly be approaching and all weaker folks won''t even know what hit them.


    To be categorized with the people unworthy to be known served as a severe blow to the Demon duo''s confidence.


    Demon Yan relented with a sigh. "Well, let''s not focus on that then. All we can do no is rely on Lord Wen Shao''s next orders."


    With two unknown variables being a looming threat over their necks, the demon duo recognized the extent of their abilities. Thus, they could only ce all of their hopes into their Divine Decree Lords.


    At this time, the contact ring on their floor suddenly glowed. A suffocating presence red out of the contact ring, drenching the entire atmosphere in an ice-cold sensation.


    Demon Tao and Yan visibly shivered as they deeply bowed with respect.


    Flickers of light poured out of the contact ring. Splitting from the lights were streams of purple essence that converged together, manifesting into the phantom of a person.


    The phantom had his arms crossed in displeasure. His expressions scrunched in pure disgust and his eyes overflowed with a cold chill.


    Killing intent flowed out of the phantom like an oceanic wave andpletely washed over the demonic duo.


    Even though they both are just a step away from peak stage Divine Star, Demon Tao, and Yan nearly felt their heart stop from the engulfing killing intent!


    ''Did-did he already achieves a breakthrough?!'' The Demon duo was fraught with horror as it certainly felt that way.


    With just Wen Shao''s gaze alone, the Demon duo felt as if they couldn''t put up any resistance. They would be wiped from existence with just a wave of his hands.


    ''Thankfully, Lord Wen Shao is still in close-door...I wouldn''t want to imagine his wrath.'' Demon Tao suppressed a shuttering thought.


    Taking the opportunity, he began saying, "Lord Wen Shao, this Lee, and Xun are far greater than what we can possibly expect. Lord Wen Dao is more than aware of this, just from Jiang Ling''s appearance. What should we do now?"


    Though Wen Shao looked incredibly pissed off, he actually didn''t say or do anything in a fit of rage. He stayed eerily quiet as he contemted his next moves.


    While thinking, Wen Shao nearly found it amusing. Cultivators who he needs to look out for aren''t even in the Divine Star realm.


    For the longest, the only person he needed to watch out for in this sect was his own brother. Not even the Supreme Cloud Elders could cause as much pressure as Wen Dao.


    Yet, this Lee person''s prowess is bing far, far too high for his liking. Wen Shao may be overconfident and a bit arrogant, but he could recognize great threatening potential when it appears.


    Even if Cain and Amber weren''t connected with Wen Dao, Wen Shao would still be attempted to snuff them out just to avoid any potential mishaps.


    The fact the duo is connected to Wen Dao only aroused Wen Shao''s killing intent to high priority.


    But to snipe either Cain or his girlfriend out is a grosslyplicated situation that didn''t have any simple solutions.


    If he fails to sessfully kill them, they maye knocking on his doorsteps before he even realizes it!


    Momentster of thinking, Wen Shao slowly said, "Our moves can''t be hasty or rash. We can only move along with the developing situation. Thus, when the two finally arrive in the sect, we just have to make use of lucky opportunities to try to strike them down."


    Demon Tao and Yan''s brightest at this prospect. Indeed, they would have opportunities to strike in a controlled environment.


    With a cold smile and a surge of his murderous aura, Demon Tao confidently said, "Wouldn''t it be even more simpler this way, Lord? I''m sure we can get the Supreme Elder direct disciples to crush them. Or perhaps get a high Elder to make their lives extremely difficult. Lord has many connections here."


    "That sounds pleasing to hear, but it''s not simple. My brother is equally crafted as me and isn''t weaker with his social connections. Moreover, I doubt those two are foolish enough to get schemed into a trap." Wen Shao sighed while exining.


    But at this point, his mood suddenly shifted. From calm and calcting to dangerously terrifying.


    Phantom Wen Shao narrowed his eyes, his tone bing colder than ice. "But just relying on others or some lucky opportunity isn''t foolproof or what I want to do. When the 5 Blessed Kings'' inheritance opens, my cultivation will take a tremendous leap forward. Once then, never mind mere Emperor tier geniuses, even my own brother will be utterly helpless against me. Until then, we must move with considerable caution. Those in my brother''s faction are particrly more vicious than the average cultivator."


    Demon Tao and Yan dutifully nodded, feeling just slightly better about the overall situation. Though, even the confidence from Wen Shao couldn''tpletely clear up the ominous sensations swirling within their souls.


    The honest fear from both Cain and Amber was just toorge, practically soul-gripping.


    As if sensing the demon duo''s underlying worry, Wen Shao coldly snorted. Confidence still remained in his tone as he said, "When the timees, an opportunity may show itself during the entrance exam. No matter how much influence my brother and I have, even we can''t go against ancient sect rules. Lee and Xun will have to participate no matter what..."
