The spectators arrived, but neither side showed up for the duel...

After etching "Grandpa Tantai was here" onto Shen Yue's face, Tantai Jing hummed a little tune as he left the Demonic Sect...

What kind of bullshit Demonic Sect mountain-protecting formation is this...? Does the Demonic Sect mountain-protecting formation on the Spirit Beast Continent even deserve to be called a mountain-protecting formation?

You think your Yin Soul Patriarch ghost, is playing around with you?

Back in the day, I was someone who could pass through the Vast Heaven Sect's protective array and land directly in the Haotian Grand Hall!

Although I have been reborn, as long as I don't run into Chu Xinghe or the White Tiger, anyone who comes to me in the art of formations will be a complete scumbag!

I've even been inside the Vast Heaven Sect's protective array twice, so what use is this idiotic Demonic Sect's protective array?

As for Shen Yue, she's even more of an idiot...

Seriously...? Everyone here is a member of the Demonic Sect...? Are the Demonic Sects of your Spirit Beast Continent really that innocent?

I, Tantai Jing, thought you would be on guard against me. I prepared all sorts of methods, but you didn't even have any precautions?

No way... if you Demonic Sects were placed in the harsh environment of the Blazing Sun Continent, you wouldn't even survive the first fifty chapters, you know that?!

Who are our opponents? That's the Vast Heaven Sect... that's Chu Xinghe...

Who are your opponents? The Four Great Clans? Compared to the Vast Heaven Sect and Chu Xinghe, those Four Great Clans are nothing!

You even publicly challenged me, Tantai Jing, to a duel. Your Demonic Sects of the Spirit Beast Continent are acting like righteous sects... Do you even have a semblance of a Demonic Sect anymore?

A public challenge? Bah... Such righteous conduct! It's a disgrace to the Demonic Sects!

Today, your Grandpa Tantai will teach you a good lesson...

What the hell? Was it too despicable of me to sneak up on Shen Yue while she was in a state of enlightenment?

If I weren't despicable, what kind of the Demonic Sect would I be?

Besides... do you think he could beat me if I didn't ambush him?

When I, Tantai Jing, arrived here, I had no idea he was having an epiphany... I sensed his presence and came over... Whether he was having an epiphany or not, wasn't it all the same to me, Tantai Jing, that he could be defeated in a single move?

So what's so despicable about it?

You think you're easier to beat than Zheng Yu... Last time when I beat Zheng Yu, he at least put up a token resistance. You're not even as good as Zheng Yu, and you dare challenge me, Tantai Jing?

Moreover, not only is your cultivation level inferior to Zheng Yu's, but your intelligence is also far inferior to Zheng Yu's...

Look at Zheng Yu, he runs away Tantai Jing me, Tantai Jing, faster than a grandson...

After all, it's about survival... no need to shudder!

Go ask around on the Blazing Sun Continent. As long as Chu Xinghe isn't around, those so-called number one or number two young people from the righteous path, when they see me, Tantai Jing, they all wish their parents would give them two more legs to run to.

Furthermore, it's not that Tantai Jing couldn't kill Shen Yue during the duel, but Tantai Jing said... "I'm a Demonic Sect..."

I'm a member of the demonic path... I could easily ambush and kill him, why would I challenge him to a duel head-on? It makes me look so righteous...

Besides, who knows what kind of trouble they might be causing? What if something unexpected happens?

So, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I just took care of it... You tell me if it's safe or not!

Tantai Jing left humming a little tune all the way...

It wasn't until the day after Tantai Jing left that Shen Yue, who had been planted in the ground, was discovered...

There was nothing they could do... because the day of the duel had arrived, but Shen Yue hadn't come out. Qiu Tian sent someone to check on Shen Yue's situation.

Just to be safe, Qiu Tian advised those going in to be careful, in case Shen Yue was in a state of enlightenment and it affected her!

But when the people who went inside saw Shen Yue planted in the ground, they screamed in terror and almost peed their pants...

Wait... is this Shen Yue after his sudden enlightenment? Did he become mentally challenged after his enlightenment?

With that shout, Qiu Tian and all the Demonic Sect surged into the bamboo forest in a flash...

When they saw Shen Yue planted on the ground, everyone felt a wave of dizziness and almost died on the spot.

Soon, everyone saw the words etched on Shen Yue's face...

Grandpa Tantai was here...

When they saw those words, all the Demonic Sect were completely stunned!

Everyone's first thought was, "Tantai Jing? When did Tantai Jing arrive? Why didn't we notice him at all?"

But soon, amidst their shock, a fire of anger ignited in every one of the Demonic Sect leaders!

"That scoundrel Tantai Jing... he must have ambushed Shen Yue while she was in seclusion. He's utterly despicable!"

"That scoundrel Tantai is worse than an animal... How could he do such a despicable, shameless, and immoral thing!"

"The challenge was supposed to be a duel, Tantai Jing actually resorted to a sneak attack from behind... Tantai Jing is absolutely despicable!"

A group of the Demonic Sect members were now hurling insults at Tantai Jing and all the ancestors of the Demonic Sects of the entire Blazing Sun Continent tens of thousands of times.

But as the argument raged on, everyone suddenly fell silent...

Because... if this were done by a righteous sect, then cursing them like this would be useful... but what if the other side is a Demonic Sect?

You call the Demonic Sect despicable and shameless... You call Demonic Sect heartless and insane? Do they even Demonic Sect?

At this moment, the Demonic Sects of many Spirit Beast Continents were tearful and adorable... We never expected that the Demonic Sects of your Blazing Sun Continent were so filthy!

You guys promised a fight, and you just sneak up on me like this... You have absolutely no shame...

The day of the duel had arrived... Countless people from the Three Continents rushed here to watch this ultimate showdown, all wanting to see whether the legendary Tantai Jing stronger or Shen Yue was superior.

But as more and more people arrived, they realized something was wrong...

Um... can someone explain... why, when the two Demonic Sects challenged each other to a duel, not a single Demonic Sect from either side showed up?

Did we get the time wrong?

Wasn't it supposed to be the night of the full moon?

Look up at yourselves, isn't the moon round enough?

How come there are time differences between these Three Continents?

Everyone was stunned... because Tantai Jing hadn't shown up at all, and not a single one of the Demonic Sects on the Blazing Sun Continent had appeared.

What does it mean that none of you showed up for the agreed-upon challenge? Did Tantai Jing back down?

But Tantai Jing is cowardly or not, we don't know... and the Demonic Sects from the Spirit Beast Continent didn't come either?

What's wrong? Shen Yue chickened out too?

This is a challenge you guys have made... According to the rules of a challenge, you're supposed to come, okay?

Are you guys comparing fighting strength or who's the biggest coward?

Everyone involved was completely stunned... because they had never encountered a situation like this before...

We traveled thousands of miles to see the ultimate showdown, and now, forget about the ultimate showdown, there isn't even a proper showdown?

What the hell are you two Demonic Sects doing? At least follow the rules... Even if you're afraid of death, let's not fight to the death, can't you just go up there and settle things once and for all?

Now, a challenge has been arranged, and all the spectators have arrived... but neither of the two sides has shown up?

Is this really the Demonic Sect? Are all Demonic Sect members this bizarre?

Just when everyone was in a daze, news came from the Spirit Beast Continent...

Tantai Jing infiltrated the Demonic Sect and ambushed Shen Yue. Shen Yue's limbs were torn off and her Spirit Sea was shattered. In the end, Tantai Jing also permanently damaged Shen Yue Shen Yue's soul, turning her into an idiot.

This news caused an uproar across the Three Continents!

Everyone's forehead is covered in question marks...

Wasn't this supposed to be a challenge? How did it turn into a sneak attack without warning?

Wasn't Tantai Jing's move a bit too despicable?

The problem is... calling Tantai Jing despicable, is that an insult? Isn't that praising Tantai Jing?

Will Tantai Jing be angry because you called him despicable?

On the contrary... if you call Tantai Jing despicable, it will be the Demonic Sects of the Spirit Beast Continent who will be angry...

The more despicable Tantai Jing's methods, the more foolish the Demonic Sects of the Spirit Beast Continent appear...

You Demonic Sects in the Spirit Beast Continent are actually challenging people to duels?

Your challenge hadn't even started yet, and you'd already been ambushed and turned into idiots... What kind of challenge are you even having?!

We've all seen plenty of challenges... but when a challenge is arranged and one side doesn't show up, and then the other side completely breaks the rules and ambushes and kills the other side... that's something truly eye-opening!

This is the legendary Tantai Jing... Um... who was it that said the Demonic Sects of the Spirit Beast Continent were incredibly ruthless?

You call this brutal?

Not only are you not vicious... you also seem pretty dull, you know that?

This is the real battle between the Demonic Sects... Previously, the Demonic Sects of the Spirit Beast Continent challenged each other to a duel without a word, and Tantai Jing accepted the challenge without hesitation.

Many people are saying that the Demonic Sect is now so law-abiding?

Now everyone realizes... compared to that damn challenge... Tantai Jing's move was truly insane.

This is the way the Demonic Sect operates... Following the rules, isn't that what the righteous path should always do?

When has the Demonic Sect ever followed your rules?

After news broke that Tantai Jing had ambushed and captured Shen Yue without warning, many people speculated that a bloody war between the two Demonic Sects was imminent.

But they waited and waited... and the Demonic Sect Spirit Beast Continent remained silent...

Are the Demonic Sect sects in the Spirit Beast Continent really this tolerant? Is Qiu Tian really that cowardly?

It wasn't that Qiu Tian was a coward... After seeing Shen Yue's situation, Qiu Tian immediately planned to mobilize his forces to invade the Blazing Sun Continent and compete with the opposing Demonic Sect.

But in the end, the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect stopped them.

"Devil Master... the Demonic Sect of the Blazing Sun Continent is unfathomably powerful... their Vice Sect Master is said to be a Half-Step Mystic God... Wu Xingyun is even more terrifying... if a war breaks out... we may not be able to win..."

Upon hearing this, Devil Master Qiu Tian calmed down.

There's no other way... We really can't gauge the strength of the enemy in the Spirit Beast Continent right now, and making a rash move might lead to an even worse outcome!

So after thinking it over, Qiu Tian calmed down. But even though he was calm, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he felt he was losing out, the more he realized he was being taken advantage of...

Seeing the enraged Devil Master Qiu Tian, the Grand Elder immediately offered a suggestion!

"Devil Master Lord, do you remember that gambling table...? The Blazing Sun Continent is playing dirty tricks on us, so don't blame us for being utterly shameless... We'll take over that gambling table immediately, and seize all the resources from the Blazing Sun Continent's Demonic Sect. Even if Tantai Jing wins, they'll still suffer heavy losses in this round!"

Upon hearing the suggestion from the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect, Qiu Tian was overjoyed!

No problem, right now the opposing Demonic Sect is probably thinking of taking the resources at a 1:5 ratio... But I've already robbed all the resources beforehand, so that the Demonic Sect of your Blazing Sun Continent will lose everything!

Qiu Tian immediately arranged for a raid on the gambling den's headquarters...

The news reached Qiu Tian that very day!

"My Devil Master Lord... the bookmaker for the entire gambling operation absconded yesterday... their whereabouts are unknown... all the resources were taken..."

Qiu Tian: "???"
