Duan Gujin's eyes flickered for a moment as his mind whirled rapidly, and he felt it was best to just go down directly.
"If I can't beat you, then I'll play dirty!"
This thought flashed quickly through his mind, he took a deep breath, and decided to go down.
He knew that even if he could defeat the Demon Saint's daughter now, his Primordial Power would likely be exhausted. If any unexpected event occurred, he would not be able to escape from this place.
He figured in his heart that he could not afford a brute force fight; he could only win by wit.
He initially planned to fight in the arena to see if he could win and to test the Demon Saint's daughter's strength.
Now he realized that he had completely underestimated the true power of the Demon Saint's daughter. Her strength was far greater than he had imagined, so he chose to avoid her sharpness.
What he needed now was not to fight to the death with the Demon Saint's daughter, but to find out the way back to the Human Race World from her.
If brute force wouldn't work, then the next step was to outsmart her.
"Wait! My friend, don't go! I have something to ask you!"
Suddenly, a deep voice came from a corner of the arena.
Duan Gujin followed the direction of the voice and saw an old woman with white hair.
Although the old woman seemed to have both feet in the coffin, the gleam of light from her eyes made a cold sweat break out on Duan Gujin's back.
"That old woman is not simple!"
Duan Gujin gasped; he had previously sensed the Qi from her body and found it to be very weak, leading him to think she was unlikely to be a master.
Even if the old woman was a true master, given her old age and the little Life Essence remaining, even if she was once a Demon Saint, she could no longer display her peak strength.
Duan Gujin remained cautious, guarding against any sneak attack from the old woman.
His heart was uneasy, fearing that the old woman would see through his secrets.
The Demon Saint's daughter, seeing the old woman speak, vanished in a flash and appeared next to the old woman.
She supported the old woman and asked, "Priest, what do you want to ask him?"
The priest whispered, "This matter concerns you, I just had a premonition that your True Destiny has appeared!"
Although they spoke very softly, Duan Gujin still heard them.
"True Destiny? What does that mean?"
Duan Gujin suddenly became interested in the old woman.
With the help of the Demon Saint's daughter, the old woman quickly approached Duan Gujin.
"Old lady, do you have something to ask me?"
Duan Gujin looked at the old woman with a puzzled face.
The old woman nodded slightly and asked, "What did you ask my granddaughter just now?"
"Did she remember anything about the Reincarnation River?"
Duan Gujin replied.
He knew clearly that any living creature that remembered the Reincarnation River would definitely recall events from their previous life.
"She forgot!"
The old woman replied.
"Forgot? How is that possible?"
Duan Gujin was stunned upon hearing this.
His eyes shifted as he thought of a possibility.
"My dear old lady, did she have any accidents in the past?"
Duan Gujin tentatively asked.
"Yes, so, she has forgotten what happened in her previous life!"
The old woman answered.
"Oh, I see!"
Hearing the old woman's words, Duan Gujin immediately interpreted it as the Demon Saint's daughter being like him, also reborn through reincarnation.
But after reincarnating, the Demon Saint's daughter encountered some unexpected events, losing all her memories from before.
"Truly, fate plays tricks on people!"
Duan Gujin lamented.
"Yes! If possible, who wouldn't want to remember the person they once loved in a past life?"
The old woman said meaningfully.
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin nodded slightly, fully agreeing with what the old woman had said.
"Miao Yu, she is your True Destiny!"
Soon, Duan Gujin heard the old woman tell the Demon Saint's daughter.
"What?"
Hearing this, Duan Gujin was dumbfounded and bewildered.
"That's not possible, right? I don't even remember who she is!"
Duan Gujin hurriedly explained.
"It's understandable that you've forgotten some events from your past life, isn't it normal not to remember everything?"
The old woman said profoundly.
Duan Gujin felt as if he was drowning in fog, and he quickly asked the old woman: "Elder, could you please clarify?"
The old woman's eyes twinkled, and she said: "If you want to know the truth, wait a moment and I'll explain everything to you! Miao Yu, he is indeed your True Destiny!"
The Demon Saint's daughter glanced at Duan Gujin, her face flushed red, then she turned away.
Duan Gujin was completely stunned; despite racking his brains, he couldn't remember when in his past life he had developed feelings for a woman named Miao Yu.
"I really don't remember having any such relationship with you in my past life!"
Duan Gujin hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry! After this Martial Arts Competition, I will talk to you about the past events!"
The old woman said.
"Well, alright!"
Duan Gujin was initially puzzled by her words, then he nodded.
He felt there was more to what the old woman was implying; perhaps the Demon Saint's daughter named Miao Yu had seen him in a previous life and had loved him secretly.
"I must have been somewhat handsome in my past life! It's normal for a young girl to have a secret crush on me!"
Initially, he was resistant to what the old woman said about him being the true destined partner of the Demon Saint's daughter.
But after a while, he felt that it could indeed be true.
Because he believed he was no less than others!
The old woman then told the Demon Saint's daughter, "Miao Yu, you can now declare that you have found your True Destiny and conclude this Martial Arts Competition."
"Alright!"
Miao Yu nodded vigorously, then she stepped forward on the stage and loudly announced: "Everyone, today's Martial Arts Competition is over, I have found my True Destiny!"
"Oh my! What's going on?"
"Everyone, please start leaving now!"
Miao Yu didn't want to hear the crowd of demons below discussing her, so she gestured with her right hand, having the soldiers below shoo the audience away.
No devil from below dared to challenge the authority of the castle's owner; that would simply be suicidal!
Soon, those Demon Clan Soldiers had driven the demons away.
"Come with me!"
The old woman told Duan Gujin, and then she let Miao Yu lead them to a room in the back.
The old woman sat down on a chair in that room, asking Miao Yu to send away the nearby Demon Clan Soldiers.
Moments later, the room contained only Duan Gujin, Miao Yu, and the old woman.
The old woman stared intently at Duan Gujin for a while, then she said: "You are not a demon; you are from the Human Clan!"
