"A freak? That’s a little rude," Yuan said with a calm smile on his face. "Aren’t you worried that I might kill you for that offense?"
The purple-skinned demon trembled slightly before responding with clenched fists, "K-Kill me if you want! The Supreme Ruler will definitely avenge me!"
She spoke with such confidence in her voice that it would’ve likely convinced even Buddha himself.
"I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you," Supreme Ruler Dena suddenly joined in on the conversation. "Even I was not able to kill him, after all."
"What?"
The demon looked at her with a dumbfounded look on her face.
She wanted to ask for Yuan’s identity, but before she could do so, Yuan spoke, "Anyway, a purple-skinned demon, huh? Even I have never seen a demon with your color before. Where are you from?"
Although the majority of demons were red-skinned and grey-skinned, there were occasionally demons born with rare skin colors, such as yellow, green, and even blue. However, Yuan had never heard of a purple demon before.
"You can ask me all you want, but I won’t tell you anything," she sneered.
"If you tell me, I’ll tell you my name," Yuan said with a faint smile.
"..."
The demon’s body went rigid.
Though she had been left behind to watch them, she knew that wasn’t her only purpose. The others hadn’t said it aloud, but their expectations were clear. She needed to observe, probe, and extract whatever information she could from them.
"Fine, I’ll tell you," she quickly agreed.
"I’m from a small, remote land called the Violet Hollow."
Yuan turned to look at Supreme Ruler Dena and asked, "Ever heard of it?"
Supreme Ruler Dena fell silent for a moment, sifting through her memories before finally responding, "I have. It’s a peculiar place where almost everything there is dyed in shades of purple, from the trees to even the waters surrounding it."
"As for the island itself, there’s a massive hole at its center, hence the name."
"I have answered your question, Now, tell me your name."
"My current name is Yuan, but I used to go by a different name in this place," he said with a smile.
"What were you called before?" she continued asking.
"That’s not important, and I have already given you my name." Yuan shrugged.
"Anyway, I will let the Grand Abyssal Elder know that we’ll be leaving now."
He left the next moment while Supreme Ruler Dena stayed behind with the demon.
When Yuan returned to the valley, he was surprised to find thousands of demons gathered at the entrance, presumably the entire Abyssal Council, and they appeared to be ready to defend the place.
"Relax," Yuan said to them. "The Supreme Ruler’s lackeys have already left."
"But they will definitely come back!" Someone loudly shouted.
