The Story Never Ends
Chapter 120 - Davion Has Become Famous

After entering the sect, he left Ryland in his courtyard and proceeded towards the mission hall. When he was about to reach there, he secretly wore the same mask without anyone noticing.

Like previously, everyone would bow towards him and make a way for him. However, this time it was not due to fear but rather with reverence. He could clearly see this from their facial expression. But there would always be some exceptions.

He saw some disciples glancing at him with suspicion and gossiping with each other in a low voice in fear of getting heard.

"Do you believe that he could block a blow from someone above the Golden Core Stage?"

"Humph, only fools would believe this shit. Not only that, he even escaped safely. From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be injured either."

"Yeah, even the disciples in the Central Region wouldn't be able to achieve this feat."

Although Davion heard everything, he didn't bother about them. He knew that once a person becomes popular, it was common to have admirers as well as haters. It was like the two sides of the same coin. They co-exist together. The only way to shut them up was to show his abilities right infront of their eyes.

Davion approached the young man from whom he had taken the mission and released his cold aura. 

The young man immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Senior Brother, it seems that you are fine. I was worried when I heard the bad news surrounding you." 

Thinking about how he wanted to create trouble for him, he was still panicking. Especially, when he heard about his abilities and how the elders were interested in him. Thus, he was trying to form a good relationship with him.

"Is that so? I thought that you might become happy," Davion scoffed.

"No, no. How could it be?" The young man shook his head and had a wry smile. Indeed, he was quite happy when he heard it at first. But he would never say this out loud.

"Let's forget about that. You should know what I'm here for," Davion said.

"Of course. You must have come here for the contribution points since you have completed the mission. However, did you save those children as that disciple didn't know what had happened later on?" The young man asked.

Davion thought for a while and told him what had happened. The young man's expression was very serious at first then it slowly changed to astonishment when he finished listening. He nearly fainted from shock when he heard that he managed to kill that devil.

"Are you sure?" He asked again because it was unbelievable.

Davion didn't answer but took out the devil core that he had found inside the Pope. The moment it was taken out, a disgusting devil aura came out of it and the whole hall became pin-drop silence.

Especially, the disciples who were suspicious of him earlier had their mouths wide open. Many thoughts were ringing in their mind.

"Don't tell me he not only blocked his blow but even killed that devil?"

"This should be impossible."

"Maybe he found it somewhere?"

They could only console themselves in this way.

"Let me see it." The young man was very eager as it was also his first time seeing a devil core. This was so because the devil kings could only be handled by their Core Disciples. Thus, you could only see them in the Core Disciples Peak.

He was about to touch it when Davion stopped him and pulled his hands back.

"Eh! This?" He didn't understand why he did so.

"How many contribution points can I get in exchange?" Davion frowned. How can he let him touch it this easily? What if he takes it and doesn't want to return it?

So, he had to make sure that he could earn some contribution points from it. Even though it looked quite greedy, he had to do it. This was all for the pills to help him level up.

The young man didn't know what to say. He couldn't believe that this person was so greedy. He even wanted to scold him straight away. However, he knew his place and had to act innocent.

Thus, he replied while scratching his head, "Oh! How could I forget to tell you about this?"

He then continued, "The price varies from 2000 to 4000 contribution points according to the size of the devil core. Although I have never seen one, I have learned about it in the library."

"Oh!" Davion was surprised as it priced much higher than his halberd. 

"But I don't think this devil core would cost this much," The young man said.

"Why do you say so?" Davion asked.

"Because it's very small. I think you killed a devil king that had just been promoted." The young man replied.

"Humph, I don't care. I can only give it to you in 2000 contribution points," Davion coldly said.

"Senior Brother, you're quite unreasonable…" The young man tried to convince him but Davion interrupted him.

"It looks like I can only go to the auction hall," Davion sighed and was ready to leave.

"Stop. You win."

***

Outside the mission hall, Davion who had taken off his mask was full of smiles. "Hehe, I have 2500 contribution points now. Actually, I wanted to hide the fact that I killed the devil but I really wanted the contribution points. Although I revealed much of my ability, it was worth it." 

He was about to descend the Peak when he suddenly collided with someone. In excitement, he didn't even notice someone ahead of him.

"Kid, so it's you." An aged voice came into his ears.

"Eh!" He looked ahead and saw that it was the old man who was in charge of the spiritual arts hall.

"Greetings Elder. Sorry to bother you." Davion apologized. He couldn't understand how he collided with him. The old man should have easily noticed him and sidestepped.

"No problem." The old man replied.

Davion sighed in relief but his next words made him astounded.

"Kid, how did you get injured? I can feel some devil essence inside you."

"What? How did you know it?" Davion asked.

"It seems like the old man is someone above the Nascent Soul Stage," He thought.

"Hehe, nothing can escape from my eyes," The old man laughed.

"Now I finally know why Liliana made you an inner court disciple. Not only that, she even took the trouble of hiding your cultivation. I was also fooled by it."

Then he asked, "Are you the one who fought against the Devil King?"

"Wew." Davion blew a cold breath and nodded his head. He knew that there was no point in lying. Although he could have been caught if someone investigated it properly, he still couldn't believe that he was found so early.

"Haha, don't worry kid. I won't disclose it. Who knows if I'll manage to anger Liliana due to this? She is really scary," The old man reminisced about an old incident and spoke.

"Thank you, elder." Davion sincerely expressed his attitude.

"You don't need to think too much about it. The ring you are wearing is different and only Liliana can track you with it. The other elders could never know about you." The old man explained.

"This should be due to the bad relationship between her and other elders." Davion thought.

Then he took out a bottle of pills and said, "These pills will help you recover much faster. You can take it but remember that you owe me a favor."

Davion glanced at it and got disappointed. He thought that they would be the Qi refining pills but they were just a superior form of the recovery pill.

Seeing his look, the old man was confused, "Kid, why do you look upset? These pills are far more powerful than you think."

"Compared to the Qi refining pill?" Davion smiled.

"This.." The old man gave an embarrassing look and didn't say anything. But he cursed inside, "Damn, I didn't know that the disciples these days could be so greedy."

So, to save his face, he took out a bottle containing two Qi refining pills. He passed it to him and said, "I should have thought that Liliana can easily help you with this. So, consider this as my gift."

Without waiting for his reply, he left in the blink of an eye. 

"What a good day." He murmured while looking at the pills in his hand. Even though there were some misunderstandings, everything became somewhat satisfactory in the end.

The Wild Northern Forest,

Near the territory of the Thunderbolt Sect, many space cracks were seen. From there, a large herd of devils emerged one after another. However, no aura was released from them and even the surrounding demon beasts couldn't feel their existence.

Suddenly a crack which was at least a hundred meters wide opened and a large battleship made up of bones came out of it. On the deck, there were six people wearing black cloaks looking at the scenery of the human world ahead of them.

"Haha, we are finally here.. It has been a long time since we last had the test of human blood."
