147: Demon Cave, Hall of Ten Thousand Demons

Jiang Lan was speechless.

Good heavens, Liu Wei’s guts were truly massive; he dared to venture deep into this place without knowing anything.

However, he couldn’t say anything.

After all, the Spider Demon had personally admitted earlier that there were precious herbs in this place.

No longer dwelling on it, Jiang Lan looked around again.

In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform, with a concave center whose purpose was unclear.

And next to the stone platform, many bones were scattered.

Hmm, this time they were human bones.

The bones varied in thickness and size, forming several piles.

According to Jiang Lan’s understanding, each pile of bones must have been a mixture of the skeletons of more than a dozen humans.

So, that stone platform was actually a pot?

This was not an Immortal Cave at all; it was clearly a demon’s lair.

Jiang Lan also knew where the decaying smell came from.

It was emanating from these bones.

But since he was already here, thinking too much was useless; it was better to search thoroughly and see if there was any gain.

“There shouldn’t be anything in this main hall. Don’t worry about anything else for now; open the stone door and see what’s inside.”

Hearing Jiang Lan’s command, Liu Wei, feeling a bit dejected, stepped forward to push the stone door.

At this moment, he had also realized that this place was not an Immortal Cave left by an elder at all, but a place built by demons.

If it wasn’t an Immortal Cave made by humans, how could there be human treasures?

The only thing still worth celebrating was that there was still a precious herb here.

He just didn’t know if it was only usable by demons or by everyone.

After all, the physical structures of demons and humans were completely different; some things that were beneficial to Human Race Martial Artists might turn out to be harmful to demons.

And vice versa.

However, this was only Liu Wei’s thought.

Jiang Lan didn’t care much; he just wanted to open the stone door quickly, take any treasures inside, and leave if there were none.

Anyway, his trip here had already been worthwhile.

He had entered the Core Formation Realm and killed a Mortal Shedding Fifth Stage demon.

The Spider Demon just now had provided him with a full 4,600 years of lifespan.

Adding his original 105 years, his current lifespan had reached 4,705 years.

If all this lifespan were invested in Cultivating, his Realm would probably improve quite a bit more.

At the very least, he would definitely reach the Core Formation Late Stage.

With such gains, what could Jiang Lan be dissatisfied with?

To put it bluntly, this Immortal Cave, for him, was merely an extra bonus for this trip; it was good to have, but it didn’t matter if not.

While Jiang Lan was thinking, Liu Wei had already pushed open the first stone door.

He came back to his senses, walked to Brother Liu’s side, and together they looked inside.

Inside, apart from a wide stone slab bed and a stone-built cabinet, there was nothing else.

This place must have been the living quarters of the tiger demon who was sitting on the stone stool earlier.

“Tsk…”

Jiang Lan clicked his tongue.

A demon was quite particular.

He had properly set up a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout.

He just didn’t know what was in the other two rooms.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Liu Wei beckoned, taking the lead to walk into the room.

Jiang Lan followed closely behind.

The room was very simple, everything was clear at a glance.

On the bed, there was also a piece of hide, he didn’t know what it was, but besides that, there was nothing else.

As for the stone cabinet, it was very tall, and from their angle, they couldn’t see anything.

However, for the two of them, this was no obstacle at all.

Jiang Lan lightly tapped the ground with his toes, leaped up, and stood steadily on the stone cabinet.

Liu Wei followed suit.

They both looked down together.

Inside the cabinet, there were only some sundries, but they were clearly collected trinkets, not valuable.

And he didn’t know how much time had passed; it was likely that these items would directly vanish into thin air upon contact with the outside air.

Suddenly, Jiang Lan’s gaze paused, landing on a square brand.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some Qi fluctuating within this brand.

However, it was clear that Liu Wei didn’t seem to notice.

Seeing the items on the cabinet, he looked disappointed.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Coming in with full hope, only to find a pile of junk in front of him, anyone’s mood would not be good.

Liu Wei’s reaction was already pretty good.

Jiang Lan bent down and picked up the fluctuating brand.

The brand felt heavy and a bit cold in his hand, as if cast from ordinary iron.

But strangely, despite countless years having passed, this iron brand showed no signs of rust, instead, it was as bright as new.

Seeing Jiang Lan’s movement, Liu Wei’s gaze was also drawn.

Jiang Lan wiped off the dust on it and looked closely.

He saw three characters clearly engraved on the brand.

‘Ten Thousand Demons Hall’

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

Ten Thousand Demons Hall?

Although he hadn’t heard of it, this Ten Thousand Demons Hall was clearly an organization of demons.

Raising his head, Jiang Lan asked:

“Brother Liu, do you know what the Ten Thousand Demons Hall is?”

“Ten Thousand Demons Hall?!” Liu Wei’s eyes showed some surprise as he looked at the brand in Jiang Lan’s hand.

Jiang Lan was not stingy and directly handed the brand to Liu Wei for him to examine.

After observing it back and forth for a while, Liu Wei said with some solemnity:

“I once heard of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. It’s a demon force, extremely powerful in the demon-inhabited countries, much like our Human Race’s Zhenwu Pavilion.”

He continued:

“However, their natures are not entirely the same. I heard from a Senior that the Ten Thousand Demons Hall still follows the ancient Sect system, except that everyone inside is a demon.”

“Ancient Sect system?” Jiang Lan didn’t quite understand.

“You don’t know?” Liu Wei was a bit surprised, but still explained: “In the past, Sect forces all involved joining a Sect and becoming a Disciple, starting as an Outer Sect Disciple, then inner, then true successor. However, that method was too rigid, so over time, various Sects gradually disappeared and were replaced by the Zhenwu Pavilion.

“But I remember, there should still be some hidden Sects existing now, but they stopped recruiting Disciples externally long ago.

“And the Ten Thousand Demons Hall is such an organization.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

He understood.

When he first joined the Zhenwu Pavilion, he was a bit puzzled, but now it seemed that the proper Sects he had understood before had been abandoned by this era?

However… Ten Thousand Demons Hall… Something flashed through Jiang Lan’s mind.

The next instant, his eyes lit up.

72 Transformations of Di Sha!

Ten Thousand Demons Hall!

Transform into a demon, then join the Sect?

At the same Realm, killing a prepared demon might be a bit difficult, but if he were to kill an unprepared fellow Disciple… Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Lan’s face became somewhat sinister.

Seeing Jiang Lan’s smile, Liu Wei was startled.

This guy, he wouldn’t be planning to violate the contract and kill him here, would he?

But he shouldn’t… Not to mention there’s nothing good here, just a broken token, and they’re not demons, so it’s useless to them.

Besides, with Jiang Lan’s strength, if he really wanted to kill him, there would be no need to wait until now.
