Shen Jun said, "I was indeed a bit abrupt just now. I'm a bit curious, with such a high status, why is he still in the Vitality Stage."

"Isn't it obvious? He must be from one of those big families, otherwise a lifetime of hard work in the Vitality Stage could at best earn him a Junior Priest status."

Shen Jun's eyes brightened, nodding forcefully, "It must be a family not inferior to the Zhao Family, otherwise the Frosty Hand Master wouldn't bestow such an important status."

"He's also very strong. He sparred with four Giants, and they all lost to him. Without him, I would have died at the hands of the Giants long ago."

"So strong? You witnessed this with your own eyes?"

"Of course. He doesn't use martial arts techniques, just hard fists-and-kicks strategy, repelling the Giants. One of those Giants was once ranked over a hundred. I estimate his strength to be around the fiftieth rank." Snow Mountain Rock said.

"Can't miss this, he may very well be my boss in the future..." Shen Jun said.

"Not may, but definitely. I remembered after meeting him, my brother mentioned to me earlier that the Frosty Hand Master had found a very important figure among humans, who seemed reluctant initially but was eventually moved by Frosty Hand's sincerity and treasures. It is likely him."

"What does he like, maybe I can smooth over my rashness from earlier." Shen Jun said.

"He likes treasures and herbs, and even asked us to help auction future Dragon Blood Petals."

"Does he have that much power?"

"My brother is so strong, yet only holds a Junior Priest status. If he says a word or two against us to Frosty Hand Master, we will definitely be exiled, even my brother won't be able to help. If this matter is resolved well, both my brother and I will benefit."

Shen Jun was silent for a while, sighed, and secretly cursed that indeed, politics are everywhere you go.

He took out the only Medicinal Fruit he had obtained here from his Magic Spirit Bag and walked back to Zhou Leng with Snow Mountain Rock.

"Respected High Priest, I apologize for my earlier rashness. I meant no offense, but after seeing your majestic presence, I couldn't help but want to make your acquaintance. This is the only Medicinal Fruit I got at the youth battlefield, please accept it as my compensation."

Zhou Leng looked at Shen Jun's hands, holding a green fruit with spotted patterns on its surface.

In the data of Cyan Flame, it recorded that Green Spot Fruit enhances muscles and strengthens Life Force.

"Not bad." Zhou Leng picked up the green fruit, gave it a simple look, and stored it in his Magic Spirit Bag.

Shen Jun observed secretly, and upon seeing the Dragon Skin Magic Spirit Bag at Zhou Leng's waist, felt a chill.

Those who can afford such a high-grade Magic Spirit Bag, either have extraordinary family backgrounds or have slain a particularly powerful Giant Dragon; either way, they are not to be trifled with.

Zhou Leng said to Snow Mountain Rock, "After becoming an Innate, I will go to headquarters to complete all the ceremonies. Tell me what I need to watch out for. That old guy Frosty Hand is busy running around, and I barely see him all year."

"Alright, let me tell you..." Snow Mountain Rock slowly explained.

Meanwhile, the Ice Snow Divine Sect followers and Shen Jun pondered over the term "old guy."

"... That's about it... It's said that a batch of Giant Dragons will join our sect, as per the agreement between Frosty Hand Master and the Queen of Red Eyes."

"That vulgar Jade Wings will join too, right?"

"He'll definitely be there, his behavior... is indeed peculiar." Snow Mountain Rock also dared not speak ill of Jade Wings behind his back.

Everyone hearing Zhou Leng was so familiar with Frosty Hand's subordinates harbored no doubts anymore.

Shen Jun didn't know who Jade Wings was, and hearing them speak confidently, he didn't doubt anymore, solely thinking about how to latch onto the big tree of Ice Snow Divine Sect.

All the Demon Worshipers firmly believed that the Blue Star humans were about to perish, and victory belonged to the Demon Alliance.

Once victorious, the role of the Demon Worship Sect diminishes, and their situation becomes awkward, unless they cling to a major power, otherwise, they will certainly be suppressed.

The Ice Snow Divine Sect holds a very high position in the Demon Worship Sect, as the sect itself is a major power in the Demon Spirit World and also has close ties with the Demon Lord, the Pale Queen.

Shen Jun's teacher is the Light of Redemption, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and even he would have to bow his head in greeting to Frosty Hand.

The two have similar strength, but a vast difference in status.

Mad Prince Aiden of the Trup Family acts manic all day, yet behaves like he's sedated in front of Frosty Hand.

Zhou Leng and Snow Mountain Rock were chatting when a team of Demons came over, and a Magma Bone Demon approached Shen Jun.

The demon's entire framework was on the outside, with skin and flesh inside replaced by magma, standing three meters tall.

Magma Bone Demons belong to high-rank demons and are very few in number, but once matured, they naturally ascend into the Innate stage.

"Shen Jun, I heard you got a Green Spot Fruit, let me see." Magma Bone Demon cheerfully approached.

Shen Jun's face changed slightly, glanced at Zhou Leng, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Lord Molten Fire, I already ate it. If I get another one, I'll be sure to save it for you."

"Nonsense, I just heard you were saving it to exchange for a magic potion, and now you tell me you ate it? I won't just take it without giving you something."

Molten Fire finished speaking and took out a Flame Crystal Stone, tossing it at Shen Jun's feet.

A Flame Crystal Stone doesn't come cheap, at least two million.

But even the most common Pill here is worth ten million, a Green Spot Fruit no less than thirty million to start.

"My Lord, it's really gone." How could Shen Jun dare say he gave it to Zhou Leng, knowing that if he admitted it, he'd be attacked as sowing discord and certainly suffer a combined beating. Now by not saying, he's at least offending one less party.

Zhou Leng gave Shen Jun a look, then looked at Molten Fire again.

In the eyes of high-rank demons, Demon Worshipers barely fared better than lackeys.

"Hmph." Molten Fire reached out to grab Shen Jun.

Snow Mountain Rock, having some rapport with Shen Jun, stepped in front of Shen Jun, smiling, "Molten Fire, I personally saw Shen Jun eat the Green Spot Fruit, he wouldn't lie to you."

"What kind of thing are you?" Molten Fire sneered and continued reaching for Shen Jun.

Zhou Leng glanced at Molten Fire's chest; the Molten Heart of the Magma Bone Demon not only had storage capabilities but was also a rare demonic material, of exceedingly high value.

Having joined the Demon Alliance, one must adapt to local customs.

"Where did this Tentacle Beast-born come from?" Zhou Leng coldly stared at Molten Fire.

"Hmm?"

Magma Bone Demon, naturally short-tempered, glared and changed his target to Zhou Leng.

"You all saw it, he was the one who struck first."

Zhou Leng finished speaking, his right hand moved like lightning, grabbing Molten Fire's right hand, True Qi surged, his arm like a snake, suddenly shaking.

Wave True Qi and Shaking Force combined as one, and Zhou Leng's right arm connected with the right arm of the Heart of Lava, rising and falling rapidly like waves, while shaking violently.

In an instant, it seemed to have vibrated thousands of times, emitting a buzzing sound.

Zhou Leng suddenly yanked back.

Crash...

The bones in the Heart of Lava's right arm shattered, molten lava fell like blood, and the right shoulder was empty.

The Demons had never seen such a high level of skillful force.

Before the Heart of Lava could react, Zhou Leng dashed forward, swept past the Heart of Lava's side, leaped up, and his right arm hooked backward.

His right arm was like a flexible backward hook, at an impossible angle for ordinary people, hooking the Heart of Lava's neck from back to front.

Zhou Leng's left hand clasped his right hand, locking the Heart of Lava's neck.

The entire movement was smooth as flowing water, and by the time the Heart of Lava reacted, Zhou Leng had already completed the neck lock, with both of them back to back.

Thousand-Pound Weight.

Zhou Leng locked the Heart of Lava's neck, and his body fell, carrying the Heart of Lava on his back.

Zhou Leng landed, and the Heart of Lava's feet lifted off the ground, with its body carried on Zhou Leng's back, like a curved bridge.

Qin King's Back Sword.

Zhou Leng's arms swelled, True Qi surged.

Snap...

A crisp sound, breaking the Heart of Lava's head clean off.

The massive head fell, with lava spraying from the neck.

True Qi vibrated around Zhou Leng, causing his clothes to ripple, as if invisible hands were plucking harp strings, bouncing the lava away at the moment it came close.

Turning around, he smashed the Heart of Lava's chest bone with a punch and grabbed the Heart of Lava.

He took out water and poured it over.

Sizzle...

White steam billowed, cooling the Heart of Lava.

Zhou Leng placed the cooled Heart of Lava in the Magic Spirit Bag and swept his gaze over the Demons behind the Magma Bone Demon.

The Demons felt a chill all over.

Snow Mountain Rock shouted loudly, "He is a High Priest of my Ice Snow Divine Sect. Any demon that offends him is declaring war on my Ice Snow Divine Sect! Think clearly!"

Zhou Leng glanced at Snow Mountain Rock, thinking this person really didn't understand; shouldn't he provoke them to attack?

Shen Jun and the other Demonized Martial Artists stared blankly at Zhou Leng. They were Martial Artists, and their focus wasn't on the life or death of the Heart of Lava, but on Zhou Leng's techniques.

A backward hooking right arm can be understood.

Qin King's Back Sword can be understood.

But at the moment of lava splashing, the way he rebounded Qi like strings, what was that, wasn't that the ability of an Innate Master?

The Demons behind the Heart of Lava slowly retreated.

"The Ice Snow Divine Sect cannot be desecrated!" Zhou Leng shouted harshly in Demon Language.

The eyes of several Ice Snow Divine Sect members sparkled; he truly was a priest of the sect.

Shen Jun hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Priest, for your assistance. I will never forget it."

Zhou Leng ignored Shen Jun and said, "This bunch of Demons, how dare they not respect my Ice Snow Divine Sect; have you been too weak normally?"

Snow Mountain Rock awkwardly said, "To report to the lord, Magma Bone Demon is a High-Level Demon, and a bit arrogant."

"How do they handle this matter?" Zhou Leng asked.

"If it were a common demon, it wouldn't matter, but there's some trouble when a High-Level Demon dies. However, with Lord Deep Dark Fury around, no one dares stir trouble."

"Oh?"

"Lord Deep Dark Fury admires the strong the most; if he knows you killed the Heart of Lava in a few moves, he'll only be pleased."

"Hmm, Deep Dark Fury does have insight and a broad mind," Zhou Leng said somewhat loudly.

The moral code of the Demon Spirit World is completely different from humans. Human good and evil basically equate to strong and weak in the Demon Spirit World.

Strength is virtue.

The news of the Heart of Lava being killed spread throughout the camp like the wind.

People from various major forces nearby looked at Zhou Leng, staring at the High Priest Badge of the Ice Snow Divine Sect, discussing intensely.

Some Demons that had a good relationship with the Heart of Lava initially wanted to cause trouble but were deterred by the High Priest identity and dared not approach.

Among the Sea Sirens not far off, Azure Scale looked at this unfamiliar person, not knowing why, a fighting spirit surged, eager to try.

He felt strange, inexplicably wanting to compare skills.

He shook his head, thinking better of it, as he couldn't afford to offend a High Priest.

It's better to find Zhou Leng to wash away the shame of being tied by a mere ordinary human that day, which had become a joke among the Sea Sirens.

Some Demons came over to negotiate; Zhou Leng ignored them and had Snow Mountain Rock block them.

"If you're not satisfied, then duel. Our master isn't interested in wasting time on you low-lifes."

Those Demons either roared in anger or left sullenly, turning away.

Zhou Leng glanced over the Demon camp, thinking that killing a dozen or so shouldn't anger Deep Dark Fury.
