Davion was at a loss for words when he didn't get any experience points after the death of the Sect Master. He felt pain in his chest thinking about all the troubles that he went through. Now it was all for naught. The only thing that could make him feel better was that the spirit ring was still there. But before that, there was still a big issue infront of him.
"Human, you dare foil my plan?" A hoarse voice came out from the phantom. It was the same voice that came out from the projection of the orb that the Sect Master had summoned a month earlier. But this time, the voice could be heard properly. It sounded like a man's voice.
"Who are you?" Davion asked while he was already preparing to take out the talisman given by Sect Master Thaddeus. From the aura of this devil, he knew that it should be above the Golden Core State. As he was no match for it even in his peak state, this talisman was his last resort.
"Oh! A puny human dares to question me? Are you not scared?" The Devil was surprised as it was his first time meeting someone that was not scared after seeing him. Not only that, this human even managed to beat the seed that he had left in the outer region. As he did not want to attract the attention of any big sects, he wanted to complete the task in privacy with the help of his seed.
But who could have thought that his plan would get foiled by a lowly cultivator in the Outer region and he himself would need to make a move? It would have been a huge shame if any of the hall masters in the sect knew about it.
"Why will I get scared after seeing you? No devils have escaped from my hands," Davion acted tough outside but inside he was already panicking. However, thinking about the talisman in his hands, he did have some confidence.
"Kid, do you even know who I am? Even the sects in the inner region won't dare to disrespect me like this." The Devil would have surely killed this kid if he didn't have some use. Since his seed died here, the only suitable candidate that he could find was this kid. This kid looked very strong and had some relationship with the Bone and Devil Sect. So, if he could make this kid work for him then the task would have been completed easily.
"So, who are you? I have never seen nor heard anything about you." Davion wanted to know more about this devil. In the future, he would definitely harvest experience points from him.
"Haha, I am Conrad the Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You might not have heard about me in the Outer Region but I am famous everywhere in the Inner Region." The Devil was full of pride when he introduced himself.
"It looks like this devil should be related to the cloaked man who had come during the Sect Selection Ceremony in Mulberry City." Davion thought when he heard the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Then he asked, "What do you want from me? A powerful devil like you would never waste time on a human like me after what I have done."
"Haha, you're quite smart. I like it. How about you help me complete a task and I will let you live? I might even take you into the sect under my wing." Conard was really impressed by this kid. Defeating a devil at the late stage of Golden Core State by someone in the same stage of cultivation was really difficult. Only geniuses in the Inner region could do so. But he found someone in the outer region which really astonished him.
"Oh! I didn't think that it would be so easy. So, what do you want me to do?" Davion asked as it would be better if he could save this talisman. He might even get a free trip to the inner region.
"Good! But before I tell you about it. I need you to take my devil essence." Conard laughed and produced an orb of devilish energy in his hands.
"Wait! What does it do?" Davion looked at it suspiciously.
"Haha, did I finally scare you? I thought that you were quite brave." Conard laughed and then continued, "This is the same essence that I injected inside the Sect Master which allowed him to transform. I can be sure that you will not betray me only after you take this in."
"What? This will turn someone into a devil. How could I take this in?" Davion would never allow himself to turn into a filthy creature.
"Hehe, why are you worried about it? It will make your body stronger and even help you reach the Nascent Soul Stage much faster." Conard was full of smiles that he would definitely agree with. Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage was really difficult even for the disciples in the Inner Region. So, for someone in the Outer region, this would be a great temptation. But the reply from Davion made him irritated.
"You can forget about it. Just give me the task and I will surely do it for you. You should trust a handsome young man." Davion looked resolute in his decision.
"Haha, you are the first person who is trying to bargain with me. Do you think that I would believe in that? You are not even qualified to do so. I will just need to use force then." Conard released his strong aura which immediately made Davion fall on his knees.
"F**k you, filthy creature. I will definitely kill you the next time I see you." Davion cursed loudly as he was getting bullied.
