Chapter 449 Gossip
The sacred tree bestows blessings?

Li Shuang's eyes flickered slightly.

She already knew that the crux of the matter most likely lay with this sacred tree.

She had been planning to investigate the Sacred Tree once she fused with the Lotus Soul. Unexpectedly, the opportunity has now presented itself to her.

As long as you can achieve first place in the Demon Cave, you will receive the blessing of the Sacred Tree and obtain branches and leaves from it.

She doesn't care what kind of shady dealings might be involved in these branches and leaves!
But once she gets her hands on these branches, she's bound to uncover something from them.

The next goal then became crystal clear: to take first place in the Demon Cave!

Unaware of Li Shuang's inner thoughts, Yue Tong continued to describe the situation at the Demon Cave.

"After this demon cave was modified, it would automatically generate the souls of ferocious beasts. The generation cycle is ten years. But this time, the boss activated the power of the lotus soul, awakening the ferocious beasts ahead of schedule, thus shortening the cycle."

Yue Tong said, "The Demon Cave is like a huge maze, divided into three layers: the outer layer, the inner layer, and the core layer. You need to overcome each layer to reach the deepest point. It shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Li Shuang nodded in agreement.

Yue Tong then explained some more details to her. Afterwards, she told her to get some rest and prepare for the next day's journey to the demon cave.

The Demon Cave is a training ground prepared for young demons.

This time, the Demon Cave opened ahead of schedule, and all the young geniuses of the demon race rushed to the Sacred Tree as quickly as possible.

The next day.

When Li Shuang arrived at the foot of the sacred tree, it was already quite lively.

The geniuses of the demon race gathered together, sizing each other up and judging one another.

"This time, the title of number one in the Demon Cave is definitely mine," said a man with vertical pupils on his forehead, his face full of arrogance.

"Really? I seem to remember that ten years ago, I beat you so badly you were crawling on the ground." A red-haired woman said coldly.

The man with vertical pupils changed his expression slightly, then said, "The past is the past, the present is the present! This time, you may not be my match."

"Stop arguing." A woman in green raised an eyebrow. "What I mean is, both of you, break through my defenses first before you start wasting your breath!"

Of the Moon-Patterned Fox clan, only Li Shuang participated in the Demon Cave selection, and this time, she came alone.

Watching the three of them argue, Li Shuang couldn't help but feel curious.

The three of them were arguing so loudly that no one dared to approach them.

and.

They competed for first place without regard for anyone else, completely disregarding the other demon races, and the other demon races... didn't seem to find anything wrong with it.

Seeing Li Shuang's curious expression, a demon next to her whispered, "Are you out of your mind? Why are you staring at those three like that?"

Li Shuang readily looked away, but still asked curiously, "Can't I look?"

The demon looked at Li Shuang with a strange expression: "What's going on? Are you new here? Those are the most outstanding geniuses of the three supreme races! The one with black hair is Ming Xiao of the Nine Netherworld Wilderness Clan. The one with red hair is Chi Hongyun of the Heavenly Radiance Golden Roc Clan. The one in green is Xuan Yu of the Earthly Treasury Black Tortoise Clan."

With the added advantage of supreme bloodlines, their bloodlines are even stronger than those of ordinary super-grade demonic beasts. For so many years, the top spot in each Demon Cave selection has been taken by geniuses from these three races in rotation. If one day a fourth supreme race emerges, the situation might change.” Li Shuang understood somewhat.

She asked in a low voice, "But no, has a fourth Supreme already appeared?"

The demon looked at Li Shuang with an expression as if she were an idiot: "Do I even need to say it? It's true that a fourth Supreme has emerged, but this Supreme doesn't have his own race. When a peak demon breaks through to the Supreme realm, their bloodline resonates with that of their kin, elevating the entire race's bloodline to a higher level. If this fourth Supreme had any clansmen, that clansman could probably rival these three. It's just a pity..."

The demon suddenly changed the subject, revealing a mysterious expression: "Speaking of which, do you know what happened last night?"

Li Shuang was about to say something.

The demon looked at him with disdain: "Forget it, you don't even recognize these three super geniuses, which shows you come from some ignorant little clan. Those who were able to witness last night's events up close were all top experts from various top races. Even the four supreme beings were present at the same time. Tell me, what kind of situation was that?"

"What exactly happened at the banquet has not yet been revealed. However, there are reports that after Xuan Ying returned, he met with Xuan Yu and regretfully told her that she might not be number one this time."

The demon spoke with great conviction.

Li Shuang couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know? Were you hiding in the closet when the Supreme One summoned you?"

The demon glared at Li Shuang: "What nonsense are you spouting! This is what Xuan Yu herself said! Xuan Yu was first in the last Demon Cave Trial. How could she be content with Xuan Ying Supreme saying this? Now that she has declared, she will definitely take first place again this time. As for those vague legends, she won't believe them at all. She also told that person to stop playing tricks and, if he has the ability, break through her defenses first!"

The demon's speech was full of ups and downs, which was very entertaining, and Li Shuang nodded repeatedly as she listened.

The left and right teleportation arrays aren't ready yet, so since we're just idling around anyway, it's good to listen to some gossip.

"It seems like you know a lot." Li Shuang said, offering emotional support as she listened.

The demon immediately chuckled: "Right? I know even more. Let me tell you, look at that man over there. His true form is a sawtooth beast. It's said that he overtrained, which damaged his strength. This time, he probably won't even be able to get into the inner circle."

"And over there. That child-like man is no ordinary person. His true form is an Infant Howling Wolf. He has made great progress this time and may be able to enter the core area."

"And over there..."

Li Shuang was stunned.

This demon man wasn't particularly strong, but he knew a great deal about other demon races!

Li Shuang's spiritual strength is very high. With a slight sense, she can discover that these seemingly unrelated pieces of information are actually quite accurate.

His assessments of the strength of these demon geniuses were mostly accurate.

Li Shuang asked with some curiosity, "How did you manage to gather so much information?"

The demon man chuckled, "That's a secret! So, how about it? Don't I have some skill?"

Li Shuang nodded: "Indeed."

The demon man grew even more smug. He whispered, "Last night, I almost infiltrated the Azure-Eyed Fox's territory! Oh, no, that place has changed hands; it should be the Moon-Patterned Fox's territory now. It's said that this Supreme Xuan Ying said the demon clan that might take first place is from the Moon-Patterned Fox clan. Sigh! I was just a little bit short. Otherwise, if I could have captured that genius's image, I could have made a fortune today."

Li Shuang ate her melon and nodded in agreement.

She was having a good conversation when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Yue Ning?"
