… hand it over!” de Demon King’s voice was full of relish and sarcasm as he looked at blurry Mist Demon King.


    From the start, it was her idea to start this bloodypetition, and she had already decided to bet against him and even the structure of the bet. Everything was ready, and all was left for him to take the bait, which he did.


    Although, it wasn’t like de Demon King’s character to bet on someone’s life without them knowing. However, Sky Sword Manual was too important for his son’s future, so he became pitiless in an instant.


    Mist Demon King also calcted thoroughly and select those five names, knowing that de Demon King would never reject this bet if she chose the strongest contestants from the de domain and everything go exactly as she nned.


    She even sneaked in Santos before signing the soul contract with de Demon King, and it was supposed to be an easy win, but Santos mysteriously died all of a sudden, demolishing her entire n.


    As for the third prince, she knows he couldn’t hunt those five because his talent was mediocre, and he was only there to receive and deliver ‘goods’.


    There was something else de Demon King didn’t know. It was Mist Demon King has never sent the best of her mist domain in that bloodypetition and sent them to a mysterious ce to train. All those demons were just cannon folds, and their deaths mattered little to her. She only cared about her children.


    A white streak sh past from the dark mist toward de Demon King, and he caught it without any hesitation. He knew under the soul contract they can’t attack each other, and she can’t dy or hold on to the reward either.


    That was why he knew it was what he won._.


    He saw it was a four-inch cylindrical shape white-jade and small words were carved on it in ancient demonnguage ‘Sky Sword Manual’.


    His eyes instantly lit up in tion and eximed whileughing, “Hahaha, so this sword art is inscribed in a Jade Scroll! Truly worth being an Upper-Grade Sky Rank Sword Art. My Peter is going to soar in the sky soon!”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Jade Scrolls were mysterious methods of ancient times to preserve knowledge and save it for a very long time. They were also very convenient to transfer an excessive amount of knowledge within an instant and imprint it in the user’s knowledge sea.


    However, the methods of making jade scrolls have been long-lost and there weren’t many remaining in this world.


    Only tribes like demon king grade tribes have one or two of these jade scrolls and every one of them has at least a sky rank technique, skill, or art inscribed in them.


    There were many ancient sites where these jade scrolls can be found, but it all depended on luck in the end.


    Suddenly Mist Demon King’s sardonic voice sounded, who was silent for this entire time, “Heh, why don’t you take a look at this sword art first?”


    de Demon King’sugh came to an abrupt halt, and he felt a forbidding feeling rising in his heart after hearing what Mist Demon King just said, and he quickly used his Qi to activate the jade scroll.


    Thereafter, only one sentence entered his knowledge sea from the jade scroll of the sky sword manual, not the entire sword art, which made him gobsmacked. de Demon King’s expression clouded and his sharp aura suddenly surged with rage, subsequently!


    Mist Demon King’s derisive voice sounded at this moment, “Heh, as you can see, this Sky Sword Art is actually a Secret Cultivation Art, and the requirement to cultivate it is a fable… Element Sword Intent!


    “Not only that, but this Jade Scroll is an extremely high-level one, and only someone with an element sword intent can unlock it and get the real sword art. If anyone tries to forcibly open it, the jade scroll will self-destruct.


    “I was just holding on to it for you, so tell me, do you like what you won, dear Cedric?”


    Thick veins were bulging all over de Demon King’s forehead, and he was clenching his teeth that his gums almost shattered. He knew he has been duped by Mist Demon King… again.


    He finally understood why she was willing to bet an Upper-Grade Sky Rank Cultivation Art, which can make his tribe extremely strong. She simply didn’t care if she loses because she knew this secret cultivation art would be useless to him or anybody else as a matter of fact.


    Just the requirement to open this jade scroll and get the secret sword art was extremely harsh, not to talk about the real thing.


    An element of sword intent hadpletely vanished for a very long time because it was just too difficult toprehend.


    de Demon King only found out about Sky Sword Manual from an ancient record, and it was supposed to be the legacy sword art of the Sky Sword Demon Tribe from ancient times. This tribe has been extinct from this world for a very long time.


    He even managed to locate their ancient rune because he wanted to get this apparently sky-rank sword art for Peter. After all, his tribe’s de art didn’t suit him.


    But somehow that site was already raided and someone already got there before him and he simply sighed helplessly and forget about the entire thing, nor did he research this matter any further.


    Well, until Mist Demon King revealed the sword was in her hand and all that happened afterward.


    “Mist, you tramp!” He couldn’t help but cursed out loud. He was so angry that the surrounding was turned into a mess just by his raging aura.


    Mist Demon King’s icy voice sounded at this moment, “What, you want to attack me or my domain? Let me remind you, in the soul contract, there was also a term; after the bet was over, we’ll not interfere with each other, neither did we attack each other and both domains for Ten Years! Hehehe… albeit, I really like your current expression, I might say!”


    de Demon King wanted to go on a rampage, but he knew the moment he did, he’ll suffer a terrible bacsh from the soul contract and life-threatening soul injury.


    Then Mist Demon King can easily kill him, and his tribe will be destroyed by others. Furthermore, suffering soul injuries at their level was not aughing matter, and soul healing medicine that can heal them was extremely rare.


    That was why he didn’t dare to attack. Mist Demon King’s scheme was just too good, and shepletely defeated him!


    “Just you wait, I have enough of your dirty tricks, and this time you have gone too far and yed with my emotions… again! In ten years, there’ll be the first ever Domain War in five thousand years, and I’m going to destroy you. Even your husband cannot stop me this time!”


    de Demon King dered with thick killing intent and left like the wind without listening to Mist Demon King’s reply. He knew if he stayed here any longer, he might pop a blood vessel from fury or do something reckless.


    Mist Demon King remained standing in her position for a long time after de Demon King’s furious departure.


    “I’m afraid, you won’t be able to escape my husband’s wraith either once he found out his son was dead, and he’s not bound by soul contract… I’ll let your entire domain apany my son in the afterlife… hehehehehe…”


    Mist Demon King’s eerilyughter suddenly rang in the vicinity with icy killing intent…


    —


    Right outside the gates of Outer de Domain.


    A vast crowd of young demons was gathering around arge tform, and these young demons were emitting a murderous aura, making the ce extremely intimidating.


    These demons were all the surviving participants from the first phase, and they werepletely different from five months ago. Before they were like diamonds in the rough, but now they were like sharp swords.


    This was the innate gift of the demon race; the more they fought between life and death, the more they be strong and evolved into merciless demons.


    At this moment, five demons appeared on the towering tform and many young demons suddenly eximed.


    “T-they are… de Demon Envoys and five of them together!”


    “They are all soul realm cultivators, and you see that red skin demon with spiky white hair, that is Lord White Fire, the most powerful de envoy!”


    Many heard those voices, and they all mored because it was too rare for them to see a de envoy, much less five of them altogether, and the most powerful de demon envoy was one of them.


    White Fire, who had a middle-aged square face and bright white eyes, had a fierce expression on his face and he suddenlye forward and roar firmly while spreading his peak diamond soul realm aura,


    “Silence!”
