The Immortal's Wine Store

Hidden within the shadows, a few individuals dressed in black robes waited outside the imperial palace.

"Look. Isn't that Cornelia?" One of them whispered while pointing at the sneaky figure going out of the palace through the back gate.

Their eyes glinted when they saw the familiar face of Cornelia.

These individuals were sent by the elders of the two families to assassinate the crown princess and heir of Emperor Balmond, Princess Cornelia. With the death of Prince Amon and the unknown state of the bedridden Artaurus, these men's goal was to kill the one who would most likely become the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire!

All of them were top assassins trained by the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family. There were eight of them monitoring the palace and two of them are even experts at the Origin God Realm! This force was more than enough to assassinate the crown princess who was only at the early stage of the Nascent God Realm!

They swiftly trailed the crown princess while maintaining a safe distance. They didn't want to alert her since they were still near the palace.

They followed the crown princess while evading the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city.

Unbeknownst to these assassins, a chubby white cat had already noticed their presence. There was a sly smile on the fat cat's round face as she stared at the dark-robed individuals.

"They really came!" The cat muttered in excitement.

After tailing the crown princess for a few hours, the assassins finally discovered where she was headed to.

"This path leads to the forested area outside of Morlon City. There are quite a few strong savage beasts here, but most of them are deep in slumber. As long as we don't enter their territory, they wouldn't be alerted."

"You guys should be careful. There might be hidden experts protecting the crown princess."

"Hidden experts? We have two Demon Ancestors on our side. Even if there are people protecting the crown princess in the shadows, we could still assassinate her!"

Meanwhile, Cornelia was unaware that she had been followed by a group of trained assassins. She glanced at the map in her hands and then turned her gaze to the forest up ahead. "I'm finally here! Now, it's time to hunt for savage beasts!"

Cornelia sped up her flight. After arriving at the periphery of the forest, she slowly descended. It wasn't wise to fly straight into the forest as she might attract the attention of strong savage beasts.

"I should proceed carefully from now on." She muttered to herself.

Not far from her location, the assassins whispered amongst each other as they watched her figure with suppressed killing intent.

"Let's way until she reaches the middle part of the forest. She might be able to escape if we are impatient. Encircle her silently and make sure that she won't have a path of retreat! Go!"

"Alright."

The assassins moved in different directions to seal off Cornelia's path of escape.

At this moment, the succubus was still unaware of the impending doom as she trekked the forest with an eager look on her face.

"What an idiot! So that's why Jiu Shen sent me to protect her in secret..." Ice muttered in disdain as she looked at the succubus.

"Division Head Yang Zenke, where is this place?" A disciple of the Heavenly Sword Tower asked curiously as he stared at the man leading them. The other disciples were also curious and they could not help but glance at Yang Zenke with anticipation. They just came out of a beautiful lotus building and Division Head Yang Zenke was now leading them to a secret pathway. They were curious where this tunnel was headed to.

Yang Zenke glanced at them impassively as he replied with a solemn tone. "Alright. Since you guys are eager to know. I will tell you. We are currently in the Crimson Fiend Continent and you are here to train since you guys will be participating in a war."

What?! Crimson Fiend Continent?! This cursed land?!

So that's why they felt uneasy after leaving the lotus building. They were actually walking in the territory of the demons! However, these disciples were from the Blood Sword Division where the strongest and most talented disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower gathers. After being stunned by the revelation, they soon composed themselves.

Among the disciples, Prince Dante, Princess Sylvia, and their friends were also present. Almost all of them were already at the 9th-rank Saint realm! Even the weakest disciple of the Blood Sword Division was at the peak stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm! Prince Dante in particular was already at the peak stage of the Saint realm! His true essence was even thicker than his father, Emperor Elyk!

At first, they were still on the same level as Yang Zenke, but the latter was now an Origin God Realm expert! The difference between their cultivation levels has become wider! To this, Prince Dante and the others could only sigh in their hearts.

"We're here!" Yang Zenke scanned his troops. He knew everyone here since they were his fellow disciples many months ago. Life was truly unpredictable.

After discarding the unnecessary thoughts, Yang Zenke cleared his throat before he said. "The Sect Master has commanded the Blood Sword Division to train for an incoming war! Everyone must do their best to cultivate!"

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the Blood Sword Division flashed with ferocity. They had experienced many battles and they knew the importance of combat training. They didn't want to slack off just because of their huge improvements during the past few months.

"Your enemies this time are bandits! These bandits are evil, so you don't have to hesitate in killing them. Besides, these guys are demons!" Yang Zenke announced with a grim smile.

The disciples felt slightly nervous when they heard this. They haven't fought with demons yet, so they were a bit anxious. Nonetheless, the desire for battle was still apparent in their eyes!

"This region will be enclosed by my spiritual power, so no one will be able to disturb our training! Alright. Begin!" After Yang Zenke announced the start of their combat training, the stone doors in front of the disciples finally opened, revealing the ferocious faces of thousands of demon bandits!
