Bang!

A giant claw of flame blasted the devil away. Retreating several meters away from the burned body of the devil, Chu Yan shouted.

“Chen, where in the world are we?”

“I teleported us near the cave. We are in the Fire King Region.” Fu Chen swung his sword and slashed the head of the devil and responded.

“Then, why the heck are we fighting devils?” Su Ling shouted with teary eyes. She couldn’t understand how she got mixed with the people who seemingly left one fight just to join another.

“How am I supposed to know? I clearly teleported us to the Fire King Region. Did the Devil catch up to us so soon?” Fu Chen replied, using [Fire Drawing Sword Art] to fight some devils.

Although they were weak, their numbers weren’t low. There were around thirty of them, and all of them had the strength of the Golden Core Realm. Not to mention, Fu Chen and others were exhausted after the previous battle, especially Fu Chen.

“No! Now that I look closely, these aren’t the devils from The Divine Star Kingdom. They are definitely the devils from Devil Zone.” Su Ling answered.

“But, how could devils invade the Blue Star Kingdom all of a sudden?” Fu Chen panted as he held his sword and slashed crisscrossed. The flames gushed out of his sword and burned the devil’s chest.

“Wait, I see someone!” Wu Kong’s voice rang as he blocked a devil’s attack with his rod. He pointed his finger at the left side, where a teenager seemed to be running away from the three devils.

Fu Chen instantly used his eyes to teleport himself in front of the boy. Due to his sudden arrival, the boy immediately swung the blade in his hand to chop Fu Chen, but Fu Chen quickly blocked it with his fingers.

He raised his sword, and hundreds of sakura leaves appeared around him. Those leaves covered the bodies of the devil, and the next moment, their bodies fell to the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Y-y-y-you are Fu Chen?” The boy finally noticed his face and remembered his picture. He instantly matched them, and he got even more terrified.

Fu Chen looked at him with his purple eyes and leaked a bit of his Killing Swordsmanship to intimidate the boy.

“Stay here for a minute!”

Gulp!

The boy nodded his head while his body was still trembling.

Fu Chen suddenly disappeared before him, and the boy fell on his butt. He slowly turned his head and saw the headless bodies of the devils on the ground.

Then, he turned his head to his right and saw two humans and two monsters fighting against devils. But, in less than a minute, all of those devils fell to the ground.

They were dead.

The boy put his hands around his head, trembling in fear.

When he saw them walking toward him, he trembled.

“P-p-p-please don’t kill meeeeee!”

“Come on! You don’t have to be scared of us. Will you calm down?” Su Ling crouched down and slowly put his hand away from his face. She gently smiled and patted his head as she spoke.

When the boy saw her gentle smile, he slowly calmed down, but when he looked at Fu Chen and the other two monsters, he almost pissed his pants. At this moment, Fu Chen had a massive reputation in the Blue Star Kingdom since nearly everyone wanted to catch him alive.

“My name is Su Ling. Will you tell me your name?” Su Ling saw the poor boy’s terrified expressions and glared at them. They immediately looked away. She looked at him once more and smiled as she asked.

The boy finally calmed down a little and introduced himself.

“My name is Mu Bo.”

“Mu Bo, will you tell us what happened here? Why did so many devils suddenly appear here? What happened to your sect?” Su Ling asked gently.

“Gone!” Mu Bo’s terrified expression returned once again as he shook violently. She placed her hand on his head, and a white light appeared upon him, slowly calming him down.

Fu Chen’s eyebrows lifted when he heard Mu Bo’s word. He wanted to speak, but Su Ling stopped him. She knew the boy was terrified. Even though he seemed older than Fu Chen, he didn’t have the experience Fu Chen.

It isn’t age that matures people. It’s their experience.

After he calmed down, she asked, “Will you tell everything clearly?”

Mu Bo nodded his head. For some reason, he felt warm just by talking to Su Ling. He didn’t understand why she was so friendly, but this feeling made his fear slowly disappear.

“It happened two days ago. Suddenly, dozens of devils appeared out of the portals and started terrorizing the city and the sect. They were not only great in numbers but also had high-level devils, almost as stronger as the Sect Master.”

“Later, we found that it was Elder Zhang who summoned them, and they were calling him master for some reason. They massacred thousands and thousands of people, and they are currently hunting those who managed to escape and the monsters of Five Great Regions.”

“Elder Zhang said that the way to invade the Blue Star Kingdom is from inside, so he is going to destroy the Five Kings and slowly make his way to the capital.”

“Many of the top genius disciples were taken to the royal capital. The elders and the sect master also left to the capital for protection. Those without talent like me were simply left to be eaten by them. I have been running away from the devils for two days.”

“But, they are present everywhere. If I weren’t lucky that no higher-level devil chased me, I would be dead by now.”

Hearing his words, Fu Chen was startled. He had a grudge against Zhang Pu and enmity with the Sun Dragon Sect. He didn’t expect two of his enemies to clash.

Su Ling took out two pieces of bread and a few spiritual crystals. She passed them to him and said, “You have been running for two days. You must be hungry. Eat and recover!”

When Mu Bo held those pieces of bread in his hands, tears fell down his cheeks.

“Thank you! Thank you very much!”

Mu Bo wasn’t from a poor family, nor was he from a wealthy family. He had an everyday life and average talent. He had never suffered from hunger, so when he had to stay hungry for two days while running away from the devils every hour, he truly missed food.

While he was eating, Su Ling, Fu Chen, Chu Yan, and Wu Kong walked a bit far away from him and started discussing.

“So, what are we going to do now?”

“Let’s strike!” Fu Chen spoke.

“Yes, let’s go and strike them! We can’t let those poor humans suffer in the hands of devils. We must save them.” Su Ling nodded her head heavily as she agreed with him.

But, contrary to her, Fu Chen had a different intention. He slapped his forehead and said, “Do you really think we can take down the devils who forced Sun Dragon Sect elders and sect master to run?”

Huuu!

Chu Yan and Wu Kong breathed heavily. They were surprised when Fu Chen said let’s strike. But now they understood that he meant something different. And Fu Chen wouldn’t go there to save them. Sun Dragon Sect is his enemy. Although he isn’t a bad guy, he isn’t a foolish man, either.

“So, whom are we going to strike?” Su Ling didn’t argue with him when he made a solid argument. Instead, she got curious about his plan.

“Of course, we are going to strike devils.”

“Wait, didn’t you just say we can’t fight them?”

Fu Chen slapped his face again and said, “Can you please let me finish?”

“Oh!” Su Ling stuck out her tongue cutely and giggled at her mistake.

Fu Chen shook his head and said, “We are going to strike the devils from Devil Zone. We have already gathered two of the five items. Now, there are three more left.”

“One is in the Forbidden Ground; another is on the Sacred Mountain that lies on the eastern side of the Blue Star Kingdom, and finally, the Devil Zone. We can’t enter the Forbidden Ground with our current strength. Only Sacred Mountain and Devil Zone are where we can go right now.”

“Sacred Mountain isn’t that dangerous, but we would be wasting our time if we didn’t go to the Devil Zone right now.”

Chu Yan clapped his paws and said, “Exactly, right now, the high-ranking devils are in the Blue Star Kingdom, which means only low-ranking devils are in the Devil Zone, and their numbers would be much lower.”

Su Ling interrupted her and said, “And if we storm the Devil Zone with that massive attack of yours, we can easily force the devils to leave the Blue Star Kingdom. We can kill two birds with one stone.”

“Although I wasn’t planning on helping them, I wouldn’t mind doing it if it is something I can do. Alright, I know how to leave the Blue Star Kingdom and enter the Devil Zone quietly, so let’s leave!” Fu Chen nodded his head and agreed.

“Leave? Are you sure you can leave?”
