The ancient book archives were filled with bookshelves, which were filled with all kinds of ancient books and documents.
David and Hu Mazi worked together, carefully searching for records of the Hu clan’s extermination.
After an unknown amount of time, Hu Mazi suddenly called out, “Found it! Come here quickly!”
David rushed over and saw that Hu Mazi was holding a yellowed scroll that recorded a war that occurred 2,800 years ago.
The two parties involved in this war were the Black Demon Palace and the Hu Clan. The cause of this war was that the Hu Clan had discovered the secret of the Black Demon Palace’s plan to free the demon generals from the Burial Abyss!
“Oh, I see!”
Looking at the notes in the file, Hu Mazi’s eyes were filled with anger and sadness. “Those who exterminated my Hu clan back then were actually the Black Demon Palace! They exterminated my Hu clan to cover up the secret of them wanting to free the Demon General!”
David’s expression also turned extremely ugly: “Youyue has indeed been lying to us all this time. Not only does she know the truth about the clan extermination, but she might even take part in the war back then!”
“Let’s settle this matter with him right now!”
Hu Mazi was furious and was about to rush out.
“etc!”
David stopped him, “We don’t have any concrete evidence at the moment. Even if we go to him, he won’t admit it just based on the case file.”
After all, this was the Black Demon Palace, filled with followers; we are no match for him at all.
“Then what should we do? Are we just going to give up?”
“I’m not happy about this,” Hu Mazi said reluctantly.
“Of course we can’t count it.”
David’s gaze was cold as ice. “Let’s leave the Black Demon Palace first, then find a way to take revenge. This file is evidence, and we must keep it safe.”
The two of them carefully put away the files and quietly left the ancient book storage area, taking advantage of the night to leave the Black Demon Palace.
After leaving the Black Demon Palace, the two headed east towards the location of the troops surrounding Nine Pan Mountain.
They knew that a new challenge was about to begin, and this time, they not only had to face the forces surrounding Mount Jiupan, but also had to always be on guard against the pursuit from the Black Demon Palace.
Three days had passed since they left the Black Demon Palace. David and Hu Mazi headed east, avoiding several demon patrols along the way.
Although the demonic energy on the outer periphery of Mount Jiupan was not as dense as in its interior, the place was shrouded in eerie silence, and even traces of birds and beasts were very rarely seen.
“David, the Misty Forest is just ahead.”
Hu Mazi pointed at the area shrouded in white mist in front of him, where the beast skin map marked it as the territory of the Black Wind Fort.
