A Demon's Journey

The Church of Mubesni heard about their failed assassination attempt on Edna. They were shocked that this woman was actually a 4 Star Warrior!

This alerted them and made them understand that whoever was trying to manipulate the Industry and Business Minister was no simple individual.

And they believed that it had something to do with this Misty Flower Pavilion.

The Pope and the Misty Flower Pavilion priests felt that they needed to understand their enemies. Thus, they sent deacons to these three branches of the Misty Flower Pavilion to gather some valuable intel.

However, the Church of Mubesni had no idea that this was a blunder on their part.

After a week, seven deacons of the Church of Mubesni entered the Misty Flower Pavilion in the city nearest to them. Just as the priests had ordered them, the deacons were gathering intel regarding the Misty Flower Pavilion.

The priests and even a bishop had specifically ordered them to remain discreet while gathering information.

The deacons were determined to do their best to gather information about the Misty Flower Pavilion discreetly.

However, their determination certainly didn't improve their skill. The deacons didn't know that they were gathering a lot of attention through their conspicuous actions.

The branch head of the Misty Flower Pavilion was informed of these individuals. She ordered them, "Send the First-Class Enchantress and find out why they are here."

She secretly nodded upon receiving that order and sent a First-Class Enchantress.

The First-Class Enchantress was a title assigned to one of the most skilled women in entertainment and cultivation. She could actively use her cultivation technique to captivate multiple men at the same time.

Edna was a First Class Enchantress as well.

A First-Class Enchantress soon approached these deacons and spoke, "Respected customers, we have a special deal for your group since it's your first visit to our Pavilion. It's known as a luxurious package. We are willing to provide your group a private room where you can enjoy exquisite food while listening to a melodious song and gazing at the classical dance famous in this area. After the food, we will also massage you to remove fatigue from your bodies."

Her words were spoken so politely and softly that no man would get tired of listening to her. No man could ever refuse her.

The deacons remained dumbfounded as they gazed at this woman's gorgeous appearance and her elegant dress. She had a very dignified demeanor, indicating that she was a woman of noble birth.

Noticing that these deacons seemed a bit lost, the woman asked, "Gentlemen, would you accept the offer?"

All the deacons instantly jolted awoke from their stupor and responded, "…Yes! Yes. We wish to accept this luxurious package."

"Thank you. I will talk to the manager and set up a private room for your group," the First-Class Enchantress smiled before leaving.

All the deacons blushed upon seeing her smile. She was just too beautiful.

These deacons were not very young. They were barely in their 20s and weren't very experienced.

While the First-Class Enchantress was gone, these deacons started talking among themselves.

"…Was it right to accept that offer? It felt too good to be true," One of the deacons voiced out his concern.

Another deacon immediately put down those worries as he spoke, "This must be how the Pavilion retains its customers. Once the customer has experienced the best things in this Pavilion, they are sure to visit again."

"Yeah. Also, the priests ordered us to investigate this Pavilion completely. We must try out everything before returning to the Church," a deacon spoke with a righteous look on his face.

His comrades scoffed upon hearing those words. They knew that this guy just wanted to spend some more time with that beauty.

Well, it would be a lie if they didn't feel the same, so nobody spoke anything. They waited for some time as the First-Class Enchantress returned.

"Please follow me," The First-Class Enchantress spoke as she led the entire group towards a unique room.

After entering the unique room, the entire group started getting drowsy.

This was because the room was filled with a special fragrance that completely overwhelmed a human's senses.

The First-Class Enchantress remained unaffected as she had developed immunity towards it due to her cultivation technique.

She quickly utilized her cultivation technique and targeted these seven deacons.

"…Now, let's start with your introduction. Who are you? Why have you come to the Misty Flower Pavilion?" The First-Class Enchantress closed the door as she started this interrogation.

This interrogation revealed very crucial information. The First-Class Enchantress immediately informed the Branch Head of the Misty Flower Pavilion.

The Branch Head was utterly started upon hearing this information. She wondered, 'Is the Church of Mubesni targeting my branch or the entire Misty Flower Pavilion?'

She was confused about whether it would be a good idea to consult Yrellea about this. After contemplating for some time, she decided to consult Yrellea.

If it was the latter, Yrellea had to know this as early as possible.

Even Yrellea was startled to hear that seven deacons were found in a branch of the Misty Flower Pavilion. They came to gather intel.

'I guessed they would act. But so soon? Am I already such a big threat to them? Is this related to that failed assassination attempt on Edna?' Yrellea frowned slightly.

After thinking for some time, she sent clear instructions to her subordinates.

"Give a bit of information to those deacons and let them return. Also, send messages to the other branch heads and inform them to stay alert."

Yrellea fell into a deep thought 'If the Church of Mubesni really perceives the Misty Flower Pavilion as a threat, it will be hard to turn them against the demons. In fact, they might focus on dealing with me first rather than fighting demons.'

Meanwhile, Tiana and her group continued to fight against the demons in the outer region. Her group managed to kill enough demons that three Demon Lords arrived with a large army.

These demons surrounded Tiana's group. Tiana naturally didn't give up hope. She was prepared to call her Sacred Ice Manifestation Technique when suddenly, hundreds of arrows showered over the demons.

Tiana lowered her head as she instinctively smiled. She finally managed to catch the attention of this warrior.

Tiana regained her composure. She turned her head to stare at the warrior. She saw a warrior standing on a tree branch with a magnificent grey bow in his hands. He stretched the bowstring and spoke with a confident tone, "Leave this place, demons. They are under my protection."

The Demon Lords were extremely angry upon hearing this human's tone. They could sense an unfathomable feeling from him, but this didn't stop them from attacking him.

The warrior released his bowstring, and all the demons around Tiana were struck with an extremely strong shockwave. It destroyed all the demons under the 4 Star Rank, while the Demon Lords barely survived with their lives.

Tiana was shocked upon witnessing this attack. She never expected someone to have such great control. It had to be known that the demons were completely surrounding Tiana's group.

This warrior managed to kill only the demons while not harming anyone from Tiana's group.
