Bab 87: Sword against Soul

The nine princes of the Demon Empire were well known across the continent. Perhaps the places that didn’t know of them were so few that at this point, if anyone had a vague dream of achieving greatness, it was a vision most likely connected to the nine Demon Princes of the Demon Empire.

Of course, it depended on the kind of dream. If they felt like challenging them and becoming stronger than them on their own, they were welcome to, as nobody would tell them not to try. But many wanted to take the slightly easier route and be recognized and taken in because the benefits from serving one of the princes were immense.

That was the case with Fang Mu as well, a sixth layer Qi cultivator in the Cloudsoar Royal Academy. His cultivation level, if roughly compared to Luo Xiao’s, was lower, yet he was known throughout the academy as a true black horse, perhaps second only to Luo Xiao himself.
