A Demon's Journey

Christina was extremely delighted to see Tiana here. She was even more excited to see that Tiana had brought a group here.

It meant she was here to assist her sect against the Night Mountain Sect.

This kind of support from Tiana truly touched her. She knew Tiana had probably gone all out to assist her.

She also wanted to introduce Tiana to her mother and father, so she was quite excited to see her here.

Soon, she swept her vision over the group with Tiana.

When she saw Azaroth, she couldn't help but focus on him greatly. She remembered his face vividly.

She recalled that he was the same individual who had appeared in her mindscape during her battle against Tiana.

In fact, this individual possessed a similar aura that was generated from that mysterious energy Tiana was using.

Azaroth swept his gaze at all the individuals in the hall. He saw Christina and smirked. When Christina saw that smirk, she immediately turned her gaze away.

She didn't know why but she felt scared of him. It was an instinctive feeling of fear.

Meanwhile, her mother was also observing these unknown individuals. She barely recognized Tiana since she had seen some clips of her battle against Christina.

All the battles at the Eclipse Battleground's Tournament were recorded and sent to the sects requesting the clips.

Naturally, they had to pay a huge price for these clips, but for the top sects, that price was nothing.

They would check these clips to check up for any worthy talent. Moreover, since it was the battle that her daughter lost, Erica wanted to check just how her opponent had defeated her.

She was extremely clear about her daughter's strength. If it was a Royal Prince who defeated Christina, she would be quite surprised, but she could be able to accept the result.

However, the one who defeated Christina wasn't from the Royal Family and didn't belong to a prestigious sect.

Unlike her daughter, she wasn't naïve enough to believe that Tiana belonged to some ancient sect.

However, even Erica was puzzled when she saw that mysterious energy assisting Tiana. It had allowed her to fight against Christina when the Three-Legged Golden Crow had taken over her body.

That was an unreal amount of power within an individual.

She reluctantly accepted that there could be individuals possessing this sort of power within them. However, when she saw the clip of Tiana's battle against the sixth prince. She realized that this wasn't Tiana's own power.

That mysterious energy was external energy that would appear on special occasions. It seemed that the battle against Christina was indeed that special occasion.

However, Erica failed to understand how.

Azaroth swept his gaze at all the individuals in this meeting hall.

He noticed that most of the people seated on these chairs were men. Out of the 30 individuals seated on chairs, only 8 were women, and the rest were men.

He also noticed another fact. It was that most of the individuals seated here were old in age. Their age was such that it showed when someone looked at them.

Wrinkles had appeared on their face, and some physical changes that made their aura weaker had also started occurring.

What surprised Azaroth was that these men were staring at him with gazes filled with hostility.

Their hostility was so obvious that he didn't even need to use his Mystic Eyes of Perception to confirm it.

He looked at the women and noticed that they were blushing while looking at him. Azaroth instantly understood what was going on.

These men were actually jealous of his appearance. They had noticed the reactions of their fellow female comrades. They had realized that their female comrades were quite fond of Azaroth's appearance.

However, since they couldn't do anything about it. They had decided to display their anger by radiating an aura filled with hostility.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to enter this meeting hall?!" One of the elders asked with a conceited tone.

The female disciple guarding the meeting hall immediately lowered her head. She had allowed them to walk inside because she saw Tiana and recognized her.

She knew that they belonged to another sect and had most likely come to assist them.

"I am Azaroth, and I am the leader of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. The ones behind me are my disciples. We have come to support the Black Lake Sect in this battle against the Night Mountain Sect," Azaroth spoke with a calm appearance.

Upon hearing those words, Christina was internally jumping with excitement. Christina wanted to get up from her seat and immediately go talk to Tiana. She had lots of things to talk about with Tiana.

Meanwhile, Erica remained calm as she had already guessed their intention for coming here. Her eyes were focused on Azaroth.

She was a 6 Star Expert, yet she found out that she couldn't see through Azaroth's strength or spirit.

This was an extremely rare scenario. This would normally only occur if the target practiced a unique cultivation technique or possessed a unique identity. Erica's guess was that it was the former case.

Meanwhile, Azaroth was closely monitoring Erica. He noticed that some irregularities appeared in her eyes. He used his Mystic Eyes of Perception to check up on her emotions.

Soon, he noticed there was a pink color over her body.

'I see. Romantic favor it is. It seems that even she is affected by my appearance.' Azaroth thought.

Suddenly, he noticed something else. It was her mindscape. He saw another presence within it.

'The Great Kun?! She actually has a contract with the spirit beast Kun?!' Azaroth was truly shocked as he saw this.

'What is going on? The daughter has Three-Legged Golden Crow as her contracted Spiritual Beast, and the mother has the Great Kun?! Did they get some sort of ancient summoning technique or bloodline? They actually possess contracts with two divine beasts belonging to different species!'

'Just what happened after my death that even the Great Kun and the Three-Legged Golden Crow were forced in their Spiritual Form. And further, they have swallowed their pride and signed contracts with humans.'

'I can understand the Great Kun. Even though it possesses great water elemental strength, it isn't that prideful. However, the Golden Crow is considered one of the proudest creatures as it possesses the sun's flames. Just what is going on?'

"What are you staring at?!" A man suddenly shouted at Azaroth as he noticed him staring at Erica.

Erica had already noticed Azaroth's gaze. But she had also seen that he wasn't staring at her because he was fascinated with her beauty. In fact, Azaroth seemed to be serious, gauging her spirit.

However, she was surprised because before she saw Azaroth's serious expression, she hadn't even realized that he was gauging her spirit.

It showed that Azaroth's control over spirit was perfect. At the least, it was much better than her control.

Azaroth turned towards the man who had just shouted at him. This man was actually Erica's husband and Christina's father.

He was seated in the seats closest to Christina and Erica. However, those seats belonged to elders. Clearly, his wife and daughter held a greater status than him in the Black Lake Sect. One was a Sect Mistress, while the other was the future sect inheritor.

Moreover, their family connection hadn't disturbed the hierarchy within the Black Lake Sect at all.
