[You didn’t dare to be careless, so you waited another minute before attempting to wake up the Tiger Demon.]
[The second foreknowledge ends, do you want to continue?]
“Success!”
Su Nan sighed in relief, and a smile appeared on his lips.
This task, it had consumed a lot of his foreknowledge attempts, yet it was all worth it.
“Continue with the foreknowledge.”
In order to be on the safe side, he didn’t hold back on using foreknowledge and decided to use it once more.
At the foot of the mountain.
Upon seeing the smile on Su Nan’s lips, Song Zhi, who was standing beside him asked, “Brother Zhang Yang, what’s making you so happy?”
Su Nan looked at them and said, “I’m sorry, but I have to return to my world for a moment.”
“Return to your world?”
Cheng Dao and the others were stunned before realizing that Su Nan was an
Outsider as well. They slowly reacted to this.
“Brother Zhang Yang, don’t worry about us, just take care of your business.
We’re temporarily safe here,” Cheng Dao reassured Su Nan.
Su Nan nodded and said, “Be careful, I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
As he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in front of them.
“The abilities of Outsiders are really amazing. I wonder how they can do that?” Cheng Dao and others marveled as they watched Su Nan vanish.
At the same time, the players who saw Su Nan’s disappearance were baffled, “Why did Zhang Yang quit the game?”
“Who cares? He definitely knows that our Brother Ye’s task will be completed soon. He’s probably regretful for not agreeing to Brother Ye’s terms before, so he’s too ashamed to stay here now.”
“I wonder what his expression will be like when he comes back to find that
Brother Ye has already surpassed him.”
The players laughed, as if they could already envision Su Nan being pushed out of the third place.
Little did they know, Su Nan was using the Across the Heavens Shift to teleport to a mountain forest a kilometer away at that moment.
The Across the Heavens Shift could only cover a maximum distance of one kilometer, and even though he could use it twice without hesitation in his foresight, he needed to be more careful in reality.
A minute or two later, a sudden roar of a tiger echoed through the forest.
The forest shook, and even at a considerable distance away, everyone could feel the frightening power contained within the roar.
“Is the Tiger Demon about to show up?”
The eyes of the several players lit up; they were not afraid, but excited.
Meanwhile, Li Ye, who was still lying still like a corpse, heard the tiger’s roar and his body shuddered.
“Is it finally coming?”
Li Ye’s face was filled with anticipation, as he continued to wait quietly for the arrival of the Tiger Demon.
Then, a horde of ghosts swiftly swarmed around Su Nan, trying to tear him apart.
Su Nan paid no attention to them. He retrieved the Demonic Source Pearl and activated the Life Wheel Scripture. As he switched his role to Lang Thirteen, his appearance also changed accordingly.
Only after completing these steps did he head towards the newly emerged cave. “Tiger King Senior, I’m here to help you get rid of the demonic thoughts!” Just as Su Nan, now in the form of a Wolf Demon, arrived at the end of the cave and saw the enormous Tiger Demon, he quickly spoke.
Hearing Su Nan’s words, the Tiger Demon instantly became excited. Its blood-red eyes were filled with both expectation and doubt, “You’re here to help me? How can a little Spirit-Level demon like you help me?”
Su Nan reacted quickly, recounting the entire matter as he had seen it in his foresight.
After hearing the explanations, the Tiger Demon grew ecstatic.
“Excellent! I’ll cooperate with you, of course. As long as you can truly draw the demonic thoughts out of me, I won’t let you down,” the Tiger Demon said excitedly.
From then on, in Tianyun County – nay, in the entire Dongchen State, no demon would dare to lay a finger on you, with me watching over!” the Tiger Demon exclaimed.
Hearing this, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
If he could really receive the protection of the Tiger Demon, wouldn’t it be like a fish in water for him to move around the demon clan while under the identity of Lang Thirteen?
Bearing in mind, the current Tiger Demon was already an existence comparable to an Emperor-Level powerhouse twenty years ago; its word carried a lot of weight.
Perhaps helping this Tiger Demon and gaining its protection would be his greatest harvest this time!
With this thought, Su Nan’s eyes shone brightly.
The rest of the events unfolded as he had seen it in his foresight.
The Tiger Demon put itself into a deep sleep and shared the secret with Su Nan on how to wake it up.
The method of waking it up was surprisingly straightforward – by pricking the bottom of the Tiger Demon’s foot with a sharp object, it could be woken up.
As the Tiger Demon slept, Su Nan quickly swung into action.
He took out the Demonic Source Pearl, and the demonic thoughts within the sleeping Tiger Demon’s body were stimulated, causing its eyelids to twitch.
Without changing his expression, Su Nan switched his role back to Zhang Yang and patiently waited.
One minute later, a strand of black smoke finally seemed unable to withstand the thirst for the Demonic Source Pearl, and quickly drilled out of the Tiger Demon’s body.
Seeing this, Su Nan didn’t dare to hold the Demonic Source Pearl any longer and immediately threw it to the side.
The demonic thought suddenly went towards the Demonic Source Pearl, enveloping it.
After another minute, that strand of demonic thought finally completely drilled into the Demonic Source Pearl.
At the moment when the demonic thought completely entered the Demonic Source Pearl, the task completion prompt popped up in front of Su Nan’s eyes.
[Congratulations, you have completed the first phase of the Mainline Task “Curse of Demonic Thought,” do you wish to claim your reward immediately?] “Claim it!”
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Mortal-Level Demon Sutra.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Mortal-Level Bloodline.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained 30 Demon Points.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a drop of Demonic Blood.]
[The second phase of the Mainline Task is now open, please check the Task List.]
Out of the four rewards, besides the demonic blood, there was nothing noteworthy.
Su Nan didn’t take out the demonic blood right away.
He knew without looking that it must contain demonic qi. If he took it out now and caused the demonic thoughts to change, it would be more harm than good. [Mainline Task: Curse of Demonic Thought]
[Task Third Phase: Completely Eliminate Demonic Thought]
[Task Difficulty: Five-Star]
[Task Reward: Spirit Grade Demon Technique, Spirit Grade Bloodline, 45
Demon Power Points, Technique Seeds, a Spirit Treasure]
[Task Countdown: 30 days.]
“Another five-star task!”
Su Nan’s body shook, and his eyes revealed surprise.
“The last five-star task was to hunt demon beasts, this time it’s to eliminate demonic thoughts.”
“It seems that as long as it involves demonic beasts, the task’s star level is quite high, which should be due to the elusive nature of these creatures.”
Su Nan wasn’t pleased about getting another five-star task. Instead, he looked serious.
Last time, if it wasn’t for the Demon Monarch Altar, that demon beast wouldn’t be within his capabilities to handle.
This time, it obviously won’t be that easy either.
Fortunately, the countdown is long this time, a full month, so there’s no hurry. After switching his role back to Lang Thirteen, he finally awakened the Tiger Demon.
The dagger pierced the Tiger Demon’s foot, and it lazily opened its blurry eyes, seemingly just waking up.
Su Nan quickly said, “Senior Tiger King, the demonic thoughts inside your body have been drawn out.”
“So fast?” The Tiger King instantly sobered up, and its huge body suddenly stood up.
It closed its eyes, feeling the changes in its body.
After a few breaths, the Tiger Demon’s eyes opened, filled with joy.
“Gone! The damned demonic thought is really gone!”
“Hahaha, after twenty years, this king has finally finally gotten rid of that damned demonic thought.”
The Tiger Demon’s hearty laughter echoed through the underground space, shaking Su Nan’s ears.
After a while, the Tiger Demon gradually calmed his excitement.
The massive body rapidly shrank and transformed, eventually turning into a sturdy middle-aged man.
Hu Xiaotian slapped Su Nan’s shoulder, excitedly saying, “Brother, from now on, you call me Big Brother, and you are my brother!”
“In Tianyun County, if any demon dares to offend my brother, it means they are crossing me!”
The Tiger Demon was carefree, and perhaps overly excited, he directly acknowledged the Wolf Demon, which Su Nan had transformed into, as his brother.
“By the way, this king is called Hu Xiaotian; what’s your name, brother?”
Not one to be impolite, Su Nan naturally didn’t refuse since the Tiger Demon treated him as a brother. He smiled and said, “Big Brother, your little brother is Lang Wu.”
He continued to use his previous fake name.
“Lang Wu? Brother, your name isn’t domineering enough; you should be called Lang Zhentian.”
Su Nan’s mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: “Big Brother, those demonic thoughts are still in that bead. Do you have a way to eliminate them?”
Hearing about the demonic thoughts, Hu Xiaotian’s gaze followed Su Nan’s and fell on the Demonic Source Pearl, instantly becoming serious.
“That demonic thought is the condensation of a powerful ancient demon upon its death. Even the strong in ancient times couldn’t eliminate it; it’s not something I can eliminate.” Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
After a pause, he became even more solemn, “If I’m not mistaken, that bead you used should have been formed by a large amount of pure demonic qi.” “Now that the demonic thoughts have entered the bead, they are nourished by the demonic qi inside, and they will quickly recover. It’s not about eliminating them, being able to think of a way to suppress them would be good enough!”
Hearing this, Su Nan’s heart tightened and asked, “What should we do? Should we throw it away directly?”
