《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

Sargan spoke with a mysterious smile, "Your task is to reach the Underground Labyrinth of the Demons' Entrance. Leave the entry into the Labyrinth to me."
Ruben was quite unsure of whether he should believe Sargan's words or not. In his opinion, it felt that the deal was far too good. There had to be a catch.
There was another issue that Sargan was worried about, and he quickly made it known to Ruben, "You must remember not to suddenly reveal all the treasures. As they say, the tallest trees experience the strongest winds."
Ruben agreed with Sargan. He spoke, "You are right about that. I plan to use the treasures within the Labyrinth to gradually increase the power of my influence. Once my subordinates are equipped with stronger weapons and possess better cultivation methods, we can definitely surpass my brother's influence."
Sargan nodded and spoke, "Alright. That's enough about how I am going to help you. Now, let's switch to what you will offer me in return."
A serious expression appeared on Ruben's face. This was what he had been waiting for.
According to what he had heard till now, he understood that the man ahead of him was quite mysterious.
"I want you to invite me to use your status and let me meet with the esteemed people. Meaning, I want to use your name as cover to meet someone. Will that be negotiable?" Sargan asked.
Ruben immediately agreed, "Deal!"
Although it looked like he made a hasty decision, this was not the case. He had already considered such a request from Sargan.
His current prestige wasn't enough for Sargan to actually meet an esteemed person.
As a result, Sargan's major goal would be to raise Ruben's status.
Once Ruben's name spread globally, and his prestige increased, he would have some men keep an eye on Sargan. He agreed to allow Sargan to use his name to meet with influential people, but he would naturally keep an eye on him and find what they were talking about.

Sargan then spoke, "Give me 3 days. After that, I will possess the things to open the Labyrinth's Gates."
Sargan asked for three days because he had to check out this Labyrinth first. The appearance of the Labyrinth had been surprising even to him.
He had always been planning to check out this Labyrinth, but while he was thinking of checking it out, he heard from one of the servants that Ruben Kari, one of the people he had shortlisted, had gone to the bar.
Sargan thought it would be best to have a deal with him. This guy had recently experienced another loss at the hands of his eldest brother.
He was low on morale. Sargan believed it would be extremely easy to manipulate him and use him now.
His guess turned out to be correct. Ruben Kari agreed to cooperate with him.
He knew that there was a high chance Ruben had sent some warriors after him. He might be planning to get the 'key' and then ditch Sargan.
This was an extremely likely thing to happen. However, in this situation, Sargan was completely off the mark.
Even though he was right to be so cautious, he failed to consider Ruben's mentality correctly.
One of his major supporters just cut ties with him and joined his eldest brother's group. Ruben was terrified that this might happen again.
He didn't want to offer Sargan any reason to feel dissatisfied with him and join his eldest brother's side.
For one whole day, Sargan remained at this house. He observed his surroundings using his Evil Eyes and was sure that no one was pursuing him.
Just as he was about to go, he was contacted by a servant. The servant had important information for him.
Once Sargan heard that information, he immediately decided to go to the Underground Labyrinth of the Demons later.
He had another important task.
One of Sargan's informants told Sargan that he had found a woman who made his crystal shine.

Sargan immediately understood that it was someone possessing the Yin Physique.
Although he didn't know about the level of this physique, he knew he had to send her to Tiana's location.
Tiana was different from all of Azaroth's retainers. She couldn't look for her disciples yet.
All of Azaroth's retainers were tasked to find women possing Yin Ardor and send them to Tiana's side so she could also expand her sect.
Currently, Tiana could only stay near the Arctic Summit and focus on understanding all the arrays Azaroth had left for her.
She also used the Nine Yin Cultivation Art to stabilize her cultivation base at the 4 Star Rank. Tiana was also trying to get used to controlling her Ardor and also be quite efficient while using her battle techniques.
~~
On the very same day, Sargan met up with the informant who had found the woman possessing the Yin Body.
Currently, he was in Sector 11. The sector where only low-class individuals lived.
Sargan handed him a Spirit Coin and ordered him, "Speak."
The man looked absolutely delighted to receive the Spirit Coin, and he was quite quick in putting that Spirit Coin in his pocket. His speed was so quick that an untrained eye wouldn't even see his movements.
"The third building on the right. The eldest daughter of the family." The man spoke with a wide smile.
It was a good day for him. He had found that woman just by chance and earned 1 whole Spirit Coin.
This meant if he found another woman who made the crystal shine, he could earn another Spirit Coin for himself.
He had never heard of such a good deal. The man soon left with a wide grin on his face.
Meanwhile, Sargan went to the house that had been mentioned by that man. The crystal on his wrist began to shine brightly.
He was at the correct house.
Just by looking at the house, he could say that this was quite an old house. The wood appeared to be worn out, and the entire house appeared to be ready to collapse at any time.
Judging by the Ardor he sensed in the surrounding, these people were not cultivators. They were merely ordinary people.
Sargan soon entered the house.
Although Sargan's clothes could only be considered ordinary in the eyes of influential people within Vlashire City, they appeared very expensive to these people who lived in Sector 11.
The man of the house was surprised to see Sargan enter his house. He immediately came out to greet him.
"What can I do to help you, sir?" The man was extremely respectful as he talked to Sargan.
He could feel an unknown aura emanating from Sargan's body. It made him understand that he couldn't be impolite to this person or else his whole family might suffer the consequences.
"Call out for your eldest daughter." Sargan coldly ordered the man.
The man was instantly scared as he heard that cold tone. He called out for his eldest daughter.
"Helena? Helena? Come out. A gentleman is here to see you," The man shouted out.
His voice resounded in their small house, and the entire family heard it.
Three women came out of their rooms to know what was going on. One of them was Helena, who was currently 20 years old. The oldest woman out of the three was Helena's mother. While the final one was her younger sister.
The little girl's name was Kate, and she had just turned 10 years old this year.
Sargan's eyes were focused on Helena since she was the one due to whom the Winter Ice Fluorescence Crystal was glowing.
Sargan then looked at the man and spoke to him, "Follow me along with your eldest daughter. I need to have a short chat with you."
