The room was dead silent as the remaining Ifrits stared between Rin standing casually on the corpse beneath his paws and Damian towering over their elder. Nobody seemed capable of processing what had just happened. Their secret meeting had been hidden beneath the border town, protected by multiple demonic arrays and concealed from anyone capable of sensing cultivation, yet a human prince had somehow entered their sanctuary without triggering a single alarm.
Worse, he had appeared beside their elder without anyone noticing his movement. Even the Demi God Ifrit could not understand it. His instincts screamed at him to flee, but his body refused to move as his gaze remained fixed on Damian. He could not sense the slightest trace of demonic force from the young prince, yet two completely different spirit beasts accompanied him. One was the familiar fox that had just killed one of his people, while the other was the strange black dragon wrapped around his neck like a living scarf.
