"This is an antidote pill, and the finest one at that," Han Xiaoxiao stated directly. "This is the top-tier pill in my Magic Mall, and it's quite valuable."
"Since it's something so precious, why give it to us?" Lu Fan asked directly. "We can't afford it. Why don't you take it back? Whether we can return alive will depend on our luck." Su Dan Novel Network
"What are you saying? I consider you friends, why are you being so distant?"
Han Xiaoxiao stated directly, "Don't worry, I won't charge you spirit stones, so you don't need to be overly concerned."
Lu Fan, however, was not impressed and remained indifferent.
But at this moment, Hu Yu was the first to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. He knew very well that the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was extremely dangerous. By scouting ahead, he might reduce the danger for Lu Fan and the others.
"Your strength is too low; entering the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is extremely perilous!"
Lu Fan said, "Just wait for us outside the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."
"How can that be? I came with you, so naturally, I must enter with you," Hu Yu said earnestly. "If I can't go with you, then what qualification do I have to enter Tongtian Academy with you!"
"You speak quite earnestly," Han Xiaoxiao chuckled. "But you might not know, unless you reach the Venerable realm, even if you obtain a Saint artifact, you cannot enter Tongtian Academy. This is a clear regulation of Tongtian Academy. I suggest you give up on that idea."
"She is my attendant, can she not even enter because of this?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "Who made this rule?"
"You may not understand Tongtian Academy well, but anyone who can enter Tongtian Academy is an unparalleled prodigy from the entire Eastern Domain. Therefore, ordinary attendants simply cannot enter."
Hu Yu felt a moment of despair. If that were truly the case, his trip to the Triangle Domain would be utterly useless, as his goal was to enter Tongtian Academy with Lu Fan.
"In that case, it seems she'll have to stay in the Triangle Domain," Lu Fan said helplessly, then looked at Zhao Hanxue. "How about letting her stay at the Zhao family? What do you think?"
"Of course, I have no problem with it, but I don't know if she's willing," Zhao Hanxue said helplessly. "After all, Miss Hu has an unusual personality, so why would she deign to stay at my Zhao family's place?"
"You're saying it wrong. The Zhao family is quite renowned in the Triangle Domain. It is my good fortune to be able to stay at the Zhao family's," Hu Yu stated directly. "However, I don't need anyone's pity. Since I cannot enter Tongtian Academy, I will wait in the Triangle Domain for my master's return."
"I can't be at ease leaving you alone outside!" Lu Fan said directly. "After all, the Triangle Domain is very chaotic."
"I am certainly aware of that!"
Hu Yu nodded and said, "However, I will take good care of myself and will never let my master worry. I hope my master can return soon, and then I can follow by my master's side."
Lu Fan felt a bit helpless but couldn't say much more. This was Hu Yu's decision, and he could only respect it, as he was very clear about the situation.
Just then, Han Xiaoxiao said, "If you are truly not at ease, let her enter the Magic Mall. There are many positions within the Magic Mall for her to fill!"
"Can that really be done?" Lu Fan's eyes lit up with joy, and he looked quite serious.
"Of course, what kind of relationship do we have!"
Han Xiaoxiao stated directly, "Helping you with such a small matter is nothing to me."
"Hu Yu, are you willing to enter the Magic Mall?"
Lu Fan looked towards Hu Yu, his gaze becoming more serious. He knew very well that the Triangle Domain was extremely dangerous. If Hu Yu truly couldn't enter Tongtian Academy, her only option would be the Magic Mall.
"I am willing!"
Hu Yu nodded and said, "I will wait for my master's return in the Magic Mall!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, finally feeling at ease. Hu Yu had followed him all the way to the Triangle Domain. If he entered Tongtian Academy and left her behind in the Triangle Domain, it would not be a good thing for him.
Not long after, the group arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, dark energy surged. With every step they took, they could feel their spiritual energy weakening.
"This place is very similar to Shenhuang Mountain. It can suppress spiritual energy. I'm afraid that if we go deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, our spiritual energy will be almost depleted," Zhao Hanxue said. "This is not a good thing. If there's any slight mistake, we might face a life-threatening situation."
"It's as if you've been to Shenhuang Mountain before."
Han Xiaoxiao said with some suspicion.
"We haven't been there, how could we have been to Shenhuang Mountain?" Lu Fan replied. "If we had truly entered Shenhuang Mountain, wouldn't we be targets of pursuit throughout the entire Eastern Domain?"
"That's true. Those who can enter Shenhuang Mountain and come out have never existed. If you could really emerge from Shenhuang Mountain, you would undoubtedly be considered divine beings by others," Han Xiaoxiao stated directly. "Even if you didn't obtain anything, they would never easily believe it."
Following this statement, everyone present nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying Han Xiaoxiao's words.
Zhao Hanxue stood to the side, wanting to speak but hesitating. She knew very well why Lu Fan had said that; it was to prevent Han Xiaoxiao from knowing that they had entered Shenhuang Mountain.
After all, they still couldn't be sure if Han Xiaoxiao was a friend or foe.
"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on that. We need to leave this place as soon as possible."
Han Xiaoxiao said solemnly, "I have a bad feeling about this. There will be many people inside the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. This time, there are only thirty-six spots for entering Tongtian Academy. Even if we obtain a Saint artifact, leaving here won't be easy, as these people are not to be trifled with."
"Are you saying that even if we obtain a Saint artifact, they will try to snatch it?"
Zhao Hanxue asked with a slight start.
"Do I need to remind you of this?"
Han Xiaoxiao stated directly, "Isn't that how it normally is?"
Following this remark, Zhao Hanxue's expression changed. If that were the case, it would indeed not be easy to bring the Saint artifact back to Tongtian Mountain.
At the very least, they would have to pass through multiple trials, and those participating in this assessment were no ordinary individuals.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was extremely perilous. Besides the formations and killing arrays within the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, there were also unknown terrifying creatures, and one even had to guard against assassination by others. If they hadn't come together, they would have been quite wary.
