65: Thousand Monster Cave
Wu Ming stood rooted to the spot, momentarily speechless.
He had originally thought Song Ming would require some Heaven And Earth Treasure, a rarity seen only once in a millennium.
But he never expected that what he wanted was demons!
He truly couldn't quite grasp what Song Ming meant.
Zhao Chuan Yuan also looked utterly bewildered.
Recalling what Song Ming had said earlier about being very interested in slaying demons and eradicating evil, he suddenly felt somewhat enlightened.
Perhaps this was the difference between a Genius and Mortals like them.
Song Ming probably didn't need any Heaven And Earth Treasure or valuable resources at all.
He only needed one thing.
That was demons.
Demons that could satisfy his interest.
However, there were no demons left within the Great Gan territory now.
The reason, of course, was Song Ming's doing.
That's why he refused to join the Martial Temple!
Wu Ming turned to look at Zhao Chuan Yuan, hoping he could explain the situation to him.
The latter leaned into his ear and whispered, "Temple Keeper Wu, I can actually understand Song Ming's request, because his interest is in slaying demons and eradicating evil!"
Wu Ming was stunned when he heard that.
What the hell?
How could anyone have such a hobby?
Besides, with so many demons here, can you even kill them all!
Wu Ming cleared his throat a few times, earnestly advising, "Song Ming, if you truly love slaying demons and eradicating evil, this place has no shortage of them. I can tell you about some demon gathering places outside of Great Gan!"
Song Ming then asked, "Are there any Great Demons?"
Wu Ming said, "I'm afraid there are no Great Demons, but there are quite a few Lesser Demons!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ming cupped his hands and said, "In that case, farewell!"
With that, he was about to walk out.
Are you kidding me?
If there were no demons.
What was he still doing here?
Wasn't he just purely wasting his time?
"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave! We can discuss this. I know where there are Great Demons, and many of them!" Wu Ming quickly called out to Song Ming.
Such a Genius could not be allowed to leave just like that.
If he were truly allowed to leave, it would be a loss for the entire Great Gan.
"Oh, I'd like to hear more!" Song Ming stopped in his tracks, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Wu Ming pondered for a moment, finally sighing, and then said, "Thousand Demon Cave, every single one residing there is a Great Demon!"
"Where is it?"
Song Ming asked directly.
"Let me tell you, every Great Demon there is no weaker than the Arhat Golden Body Cultivators enshrined in my Martial Temple. Your current strength is still too weak, you cannot go!"
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving!" Song Ming finished speaking and was about to step towards the door again.
Wu Ming was a little anxious, "Tell me, tell me, isn't that good enough! The location of the Thousand Demon Cave is precisely where the Immortal Sect Ruins are!"
Song Ming's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this, "What is the Immortal Sect Ruins?"
Wu Ming explained, "You still don't know, do you? This area where we are located is collectively called the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Sect Ruins are in the southernmost part.
There are many Immortal Cave Abodes there, and the Power Of Will cultivation method of our Great Gan Dynasty was obtained from there.
However, that place is occupied by Great Demons, and this is what I call the Thousand Demon Cave!"
Song Ming nodded.
Hearing this person's explanation, he somewhat understood.
Why the hidden quest was called the Immortal Sect Secret.
It seemed that to know this secret, he would inevitably have to go to the Thousand Demon Cave.
Not only to complete the hidden quest.
He was also very eager for the Great Demons inside, after all, those were all walking experience packs.
"Good, give me the map, I'll go for a trip!"
Song Ming's Heaven and Earth Seal had now been elevated to Hong-level.
A single strike dealt 120 million damage.
Plus 100% Spell critical hit.
He just wondered which demon in the Thousand Demon Cave could withstand a single blow from him.
Wu Ming was somewhat helpless, "You still don't know the terror of the demons inside. Do you know why my Great Gan has declined to this point?
Of the thirteen Arhat Golden Bodies, only the Old Ancestor still has a breath left; all the others have fallen.
This is all thanks to the Thousand Demon Cave!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ming's curiosity was indeed piqued.
If the Thousand Demon Cave was so powerful, then how could Great Gan have existed for so long?
After all, thirteen top-tier combat powers were gone.
Logically, Great Gan should have perished long ago.
"What about the other two forces? Did they just stand by and do nothing!" Song Ming asked.
Wu Ming sighed, "If it weren't for Qinglu Mountain, my Great Gan probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. As for Jin Yang Cave, hmph, there's nothing good to say!"
Song Ming somewhat understood.
In other words, Qinglu Mountain's strength was the only existence within this Immortal Sect capable of contending with the Thousand Demon Cave.
It was equivalent to nuclear deterrence.
This was what made the Great Demons of the Thousand Demon Cave not dare to act rashly.
As for Jin Yang Cave, judging by Wu Ming's tone.
He seemed very displeased!
Song Ming didn't care about the relationships between these three major forces; he cared about whether he could kill demons and gain experience!
"Alright, in that case, I'll just go to the Thousand Demon Cave myself, destroy them, and then wouldn't the problem be solved!"
Wu Ming gave a wry smile.
If the Thousand Demon Cave were so easy to destroy, their Great Gan wouldn't be in its current state.
He could only say that young people were still too impetuous.
He himself had gone through the same thing in the past.
Relying on his outstanding talent, he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
Only after suffering a setback did he realize that there were always people stronger and more talented.
His talent was simply not enough.
"I can give you the map, but there's a condition: you must join my Martial Temple!" Wu Ming said.
Song Ming readily agreed.
As long as he was given the map, everything else was negotiable.
He then followed Wu Ming out of the yamen and went to the Martial Temple.
After becoming an official Disciple of the Martial Temple.
Wu Ming took out a map and handed him a golden wolf jade talisman.
Song Ming was puzzled.
Wu Ming then explained, "You cleared all the demons within the Great Gan territory; such a meritorious deed is enough for you to become an Inspector of the Demon Slayer Division!
And now, the Chief Inspector has been out and has not returned, and the acting Inspector is a mediocre person. After much thought, the only one who can serve as the Inspector of the Demon Slayer Division now is you!"
Song Ming nodded, took the golden wolf jade talisman, and wore it on his body.
【golden wolf jade talisman: Symbol of the Demon Slayer Division Inspector, protected by Great Gan's Luck】
【Attributes: All attributes + 50】
"Not bad, better than nothing!"
Song Ming looked at the description of the golden wolf jade talisman and commented.
Then, he carefully looked at the map.
A panel immediately appeared before his eyes.
The location of the Thousand Demon Cave was then marked in red.
With the map, Song Ming's face showed a satisfied smile.
Next was to go harvest!
Just as he was about to leave the Martial Temple and head to the Thousand Demon Cave.
At this moment, a refined middle-aged man walked into the Martial Temple's entrance, his face full of arrogance.
"Temple Keeper Wu, long time no see. I'm here this time to inform you of something!"
"Two more Grandmasters have fallen in your Great Gan. My condolences!"
"Also, my main purpose for coming here is to find someone!"
