Once Rex had killed the strange man inside the cavern. He swiftly and carefully took the time to wipe out the rest of the bandits.
Some he sent their heads flying to others as a distraction, others he danced with their dead bodies to get to other kills, and the last one he chained up because it was a woman.
"Better keep a distance from her. I feel like I should know her." Rex thought.
As he ventured into the depths. He found a painting that had a face of a woman on it. When he looked at it closer, he knew why that woman was familiar.
"She belongs to the King in the Ninth Realm. Why is she here? What has transpired to make her leave? Or better yet, what makes her make the breakthroughs to the Ninth Realm?" Rex spoke.
He quickly dismissed the notion and put the painting into his inventory. This triggered an immediate Quest.
"Return Princess Xiao Fang to the return spot"
"Rewards:
Option 1: Princess Xiao Fang as a concubine
Option 2: Death to Princess Xiao Fang or her mother
Option 3: Princess Xiao Fang and her mother as prisoners"
Rex was stunned at the options so he decided to wait and figure out what was going on.
Rex found the Bandit Leader and killed him instantly without any remorse. This caused Rex to search the room better.
When the first drawer opened, he found a letter explaining what should happen to Princess Xiao Fang.
"Dear Bandit,
My daughter is near the age of adulthood. Here she will be offered as payment to make the lower Realms unstable. Use her, play with her, or even kill her I do not care. Make sure that all unity within the lower Realms are destroyed.
There is also another man whom you should kill as well. This man is Rex, before you ask anything. He is now the new Demon King. Use all the tricks in the Nine Realms to slaughter him and make him look bad.
I will deal with Maximum, Demon, and Life-giver along with their Sects. That is how much power I currently control. It will be hard, I know. So that is why I am sending you a butler to the spot where the hill becomes a point in the area surrounding your base.
So please remember, Failure is not an option.
The King of the Ninth Realm,
King Guówáng".
Rex was not pleased with the letter but he intended to learn more about the situation from the Princess herself.
As he walked back, he saw shadows dancing among the fires. He quickly hid his presence. As he got closer he saw several men dressed finely.
"These bandits all got slaughtered. I wonder if the Princess did herself. If not, can I taste of her?" The youngest looking one said.
"Only if the old man does not get involved." Another young looking one replied.
As Rex darted his eyes. Only one man seemed to have a conscience about what was going on.
Rex was not sure if he could press his luck or not. He found a bow and a single arrow that the bandits were testing. This proved to be a good weapon.
In front of Rex, this was going to become a nightmare or a wonderful shot. He pulled the arrow back like he should have. He aimed properly and then the arrow flew before Rex knew what happened.
He looked and saw he released the arrow before being ready. He swiftly went into hiding. The arrow grazed the young man who wanted to taste of the Princess.
Immediately he became poisoned. He began to swear uncontrollably while puking his guts out. The old man beheaded the young one.
"Did you have to kill him like that?"
Before an answer could be given, the old man sliced off the other man's head. The old man began his walk to the spot where the arrow had been shot.
Using a weird technique, he saw the direction in which Rex had traveled in. He kindly began to follow him.
Where the two would began a clash, only the help of a single person saves them. That person is not the Princess.
