The Brave's Sacrifice

Huocang Mang Cong Shi. "The Clear River has already left the stone tablet, leaving behind a faint trace. The young man, filled with pride, looked at his bulging muscles with satisfaction, and his gaze was filled with affection for the person in front of him."

The host, dressed in a fiery red outfit, also turned his head and walked to the front of the crowd. He shouted, "Young Master, I, your subordinate, have brought you a thousand jin of strength. I hope you, the great demon king, will accept it. I beg you to bestow it."

The people below, including Zhang Ziling, were already waiting by the Clear River.

When they saw the Clear River, Zhang Ziling's female companions rushed forward to greet her with tears in their eyes.

"It's said that you are very powerful and have extraordinary talent, and you are not bad."

Zhang Ziling also walked to her side and smiled, "Clear Brother, you are truly amazing. That stone tablet's inscription is truly a masterpiece. If it were a defensive formation, it would be among the best. It's enough to rank in the top three. I didn't expect you to break through the defensive formation so easily. Look at you, you've made these sisters fall in love with you."

"You flatter me. I'm just doing what I can."

Facing Zhang Ziling's companions, Clear River smiled charmingly, but there was no way to get close to her.

After the crowd had calculated the points to summon the demon king's golden elixir, Clear River used the excuse of returning to cultivate and refused their invitation.

He didn't care about the disappointment of the people around him. He was still interested in these women.

As for Clear River, he didn't bother with the people around him, he just told them to cultivate well.

However, he knew that most of Zhang Ziling's companions were from noble families. They were not born with heavenly talent or strength, and their background was not worth mentioning compared to his own.

In the following days, Clear River not only cultivated during the day but also went to the Demon King's Palace at night.

Because he had defeated many opponents, no matter what kind of opponent, they were all below the third rank. What was displayed was the name of the Black Demon King, who was fighting in the Demon King's Palace.

Another half a month passed.

The opening of the Demon Cultivation Academy marked the beginning of a new year. Both Hu An and Clear River officially became third-year students of the Demon Cultivation Academy.

Because Clear River had broken through the Great Demon King, he had been given a high-ranking position in the Demon Cultivation Academy. He had not only obtained the assistance of two demon kings every year but also obtained the recommendation of the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's High-Level Demon Academy.

As long as Clear River completed three years of study in the Demon Cultivation Academy, he could enter the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Academy, even if he was not from a noble family.

This was considered a great opportunity for Clear River.

And on the day the Demon Cultivation Academy opened, the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's High-Level Demon Academy also ushered in the day of opening.

The Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Palace.

The original Heavenly Demon Royal Family was a small branch of the Heavenly Demon Royal Family.

In this era, it was already considered a small family.

Since the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Huai, had passed away, Zhang Huai had rarely lived in the palace. Most of the time, it was his daughter, Zhang Ziling, who was in charge.

Only occasionally would Zhang Huai return to the palace to see his daughter.

Just like today, Zhang Ziling was entering the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Academy. Zhang Huai had not forgotten the day.

"Ziling, Ziling, quickly come out. Today is the day you enter the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Academy. Father will personally send you to the palace."

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Huai's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Ziling's clear and melodious voice came from the room, "I know, Father. It's true. Father, is it you or my grandfather who is going to the palace?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Ziling walked out of the room.

Zhang Huai looked at his daughter's slightly surprised expression and was a little disappointed. "Ziling... Ziling, you..."

"Me? What's wrong with me? What..."

Zhang Ziling was confused.

"Ziling, your height, and your eyes... What's wrong with them?" Zhang Huai's figure flickered, and he had already appeared in front of Zhang Ziling. He grabbed his daughter's shoulders, as if he was about to ask something.

In the blink of an eye, a faint light seemed to emanate from Zhang Huai.

Zhang Ziling immediately jumped back, and quickly replied, "Father, did you see something wrong with me? Is it because of something that happened in the past that it has endangered my life?"

"It's fine, it's fine. Father is a Celestial Demon. What kind of danger can threaten Father's life?" Zhang Huai smiled and touched his daughter's shoulder. "Go, let Father take you to see that subordinate of Clear River. Tell him to properly heal those injuries, and thank him properly."

"Then I won't go?" Zhang Ziling asked doubtfully.

"It's fine. What kind of time is it? It's fine. As long as it's in the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Academy, no one dares to disrespect your grandfather's face."

Zhang Huai smiled coldly. He pulled his daughter into the air and flew towards the Demon Cultivation Academy.

"You know, he knew at that time that you had something uncomfortable about your body, and that your complexion was not good. It was probably for another reason. If you can't find the reason, it will happen again. The consequences are serious, and even life-threatening."

Zhang Huai's expression became more and more excited, and his words were filled with emotion.

"Yes, he knew it at that time."

Zhang Ziling was silent for a moment. Then, she seemed to remember her father calling out in the room when she was young, looking at Zhang Huai, who was even more handsome than before. She quickly asked, "Father, did something happen to you? Did something happen that endangered your life?"

"It's fine, it's fine. Father is a Celestial Demon. What kind of danger can threaten Father's life?" Zhang Huai smiled and touched his daughter's shoulder. "Go, let Father take you to see that subordinate of Clear River. Tell him to properly heal those injuries, and thank him properly."

"Then I won't go?" Zhang Ziling asked doubtfully.

"It's fine. What kind of time is it? It's fine. As long as it's in the Heavenly Demon Royal Family's Academy, no one dares to disrespect your grandfather's face."

Zhang Huai smiled coldly. He pulled his daughter into the air and flew towards the Demon Cultivation Academy.

The Grand Academy was officially opening its doors.

Mu Qinghuan, the academy's most talented disciple, had taken the stage to represent the academy in this new era, a glorious undertaking.

"If you eat people's words, you'll take their lives."

Since she had accepted the academy's reputation and the accompanying funds, she could only grit her teeth and put on a show for the elders.
