After completing his sentence, Jiang Zhuyue felt that he had spoken a little too much . However, after giving it more thought, Wu Yu was just a third tier Jindan Dao cultivator . He couldn't even survive within the Supreme Hunting Ground, let alone gathering 50 Demon Injunction Orders .
He supplemented, "You don't have an Enslavement Injunction Order inserted in you . Nonetheless, if your strength reaches the level for the Second Hunting Ground, you will be forcefully shifted to the Second Hunting Ground . "
This was the arrangement for the prey in the Supreme Hunting Ground . Depending on one's strength, he would be sent to the corresponding hunting ground . Once one made an advancement, he would be immediately sent to a higher hunting ground to deal with stronger demons . This was to prevent them from obtaining large numbers of Demon Injunction Orders after achieving a breakthrough in strength level .
After supplementing what he said, he felt more relieved . No matter how he looked at Wu Yu, Wu Yu wasn't someone that looked capable of making it out . The truth was, few people had ever made it out of the Supreme Hunting Ground alive .
"Jiu Ying, work hard . Whether your friend can make it out alive will depend on whether you are willing to hunt down the prey of the demon race . I hope you will make it to the Second Hunting Ground soon . At that time, your friend can follow you along . With you protecting him personally, I'm sure you will feel more assured . " Jiang Zhuyue laughed heartily .
This was an amazing idea . He had intentions to contact the enforcers of other hunting grounds to force Jiu Ying to kill humans together .
"Goodbye . " Finished speaking, Jiang Zhuyue and the other Moon Chasing Hounds let out a long and loud cry towards the sky, reverted to their black demon forms, and left .
In a blink of an eye, they disappeared from view, leaving Wu Yu and Jiu Ying looking at each other .
Wu Yu looked helplessly at him and commented, "They are using me to force you to kill your way out of the Supreme Hunting Ground . "
"I had not expected them to do so . " Jiu Ying was feeling a little regretful . However, considering the situation they were in, he couldn't come out with a better solution .
Wu Yu said, "I understand . Even if you let me out of the Supreme Hunting Ground now, the chances of me making it out of the Gloomy Dreams Seas will be slim without any protection . Looking at the current circumstances, I feel that I have two options in front of me . "
Jiu Ying immediately asked, "What are the two options?" The truth was, he was feeling apologetic . Because of his identity, Wu Yu had been dragged into this place .
Wu Yu answered, "First, it would be to wait for you to complete the trials of the Supreme Hunting Ground and send me away personally . From what I saw, as long as you are willing to complete the trial, there are still many who are willing to obey your orders . At this moment, they probably find it hard to accept the fact that the son of Ying Huang isn't willing to even kill prey . Therefore, they have made things difficult for you on purpose . "

Jiu Ying asked bitterly, "Do you think this is what I should do too?"
Wu Yu shook his head and continued, "Not at all . I feel that there's nothing wrong with your thinking . In my opinion, cultivation, for humans or demons, should follow one's nature resolutely . From my perspective, your insistence of not killing innocent people rampantly is the right thing to stick to . Therefore, I'll support your decision to follow your ideals in this matter . Don't get confused about your dao . Naturally, the final decision will still lie in your hands . "
Jiu Ying's eyes lit up and looked at Wu Yu gratefully . In this world with millions of people and demons, Wu Yu seemed to be the only person, human or demon, who could really understand him . As for other demons, including his father, they couldn't accept his dao .
It was especially so for Ying Huang, the savage demon king in the legends .
"Oh, right, what's the second option then?" Jiu Ying asked .
Wu Yu answered, "This option mainly relies on myself, and it would be to gather 50 Demon Injunction Orders . After which, I have to see if Jiang Zhuyue will keep to his side of the promise and bring me out of the Gloomy Dreams Seas . The truth is, if I can get 50 Demon Injunction Orders, my strength level might not be any weaker than his . However, within the Gloomy Dreams Seas, I really would need a strong demon to lead the way for me . He's the Enforcer of the Supreme Hunting Ground . His official identity will increase my chances of leaving this place alive . "
Jiu Ying could roughly foresee how Wu Yu's second option would turn out .
He shook his head and said, "Collecting 50 Demon Injunction Orders is too difficult . This is the Supreme Hunting Ground after all . Demons are the hunters, while martial cultivators are the prey . No one has been able to accomplish that in a long time . Once you exhibit exceptional strength, you will be shifted to a higher level hunting ground . Although I feel that your battling prowess is exceptional, you will still likely need a few years to make it through the Supreme Hunting Ground . This might delay you . . . "
Indeed, the idea of having to stay within the Supreme Hunting Ground was horrifying . However, Wu Yu was helpless in this situation .
Nonetheless, with Jiu Ying's current cultivation level, he would still need a few years to make it through the Supreme Hunting Ground even if he started to work hard .
Regarding this, Wu Yu remarked resolutely, "Let's not think too far ahead in this aspect . Since I'm here and I don't have a better solution, that is all I can do at this moment . Along the way, we can explore and see if there's other options . Moreover, I have the desire to battle with the demon geniuses in this Supreme Hunting Ground . I don't have an Enslavement Injunction Order, so at least my life won't be in danger . As for how long I will take, it will have to depend on circumstances . Jiu Ying, I've made preparations to battle through the Supreme Hunting Ground from today onwards . "
Jiu Ying was surprised to see Wu Yu getting used to the developments so quickly . Moreover, Wu Yu had even resolved himself and had plans and objectives for himself .

From Wu Yu's perspective, he had gains and losses in the current development . What he would gain would be the opportunities to fight with other demons within the Supreme Hunting Ground . In fact, these were opportunities that involved killing and being killed . Battles were the best training and trials he could get .
Such great opportunities wouldn't exist in Shushan . What he had lost was the resources from Shushan . After all, this was the Supreme Hunting Ground, so he would most likely not be able to earn any more merit points or get new spiritual immortal treasures .
And there was one more important factor .
"My senior brothers and sisters in the Shushan Immortal Sect and Sister Shen will probably regard me as missing . The Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain incident will probably be baffling for them . I wonder how they will look at me when I eventually return . . . .
"And there's Wei Er . She will learn that I’m missing when she exits the Shushan Reincarnation Realm . This will likely be a huge blow to her!"
Wu Yu had wanted to use Message Talismans to inform Shen Xingyu about what happened here . However, first, the Message Talisman couldn't reach that far . Secondly, the Supreme Hunting Ground had its own restrictions that even prevented him from escaping . Otherwise, Jiu Ying would have looked for help from others .
As for how much time he would spend here, Wu Yu couldn't make an estimate . It was just like being imprisoned, but the feeling was more terrifying than being locked up in the Core Sword Tree . This had greatly shaken Wu Yu's resolve .
Luckily, he did gain something, and that was Jiu Ying as a friend .
Jiu Ying felt conflicted as he said, "In that case, I shall start practicing diligently . Since I have already killed Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain, I wouldn't mind killing a second person . "
Wu Yu interrupted him . "Don't act like this . Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain deserved to die . However, if you are looking to get through the Supreme Hunting Ground, I will advise you against killing rampantly . Do as your ideals are . You don't have to make an exception for me . "
"Wu Yu . . . . "
Jiu Ying looked to him apologetically .
"Good things are usually preceded by rough goings . Most of the developments in one's fate can't be changed . However, I'd still like to try to change my own fate by working hard . In my opinion, the Supreme Hunting Ground can turn out to be a treasured land for me . What do you think?"

There was a saying that went: take things as they come .
Jiu Ying was deeply influenced by how calm Wu Yu was . At that moment, his eyes turned reddish . Without hesitation, he nodded his head and said, "I understand what you mean . In that case, let's have a contest to see who can get stronger faster! Obviously, the precedent is that I will only kill those that deserve to be killed . "
Wu Yu was relieved that Jiu Ying was able to think like this and make his own decision .
As such, despite not having known each other for long, Wu Yu truly saw this demon as his brother . Although they were of different races, it was hard to find your own confidante . He believed that Jiu Ying would have similar thoughts as him .
"For the first step, what are you planning to do?" asked Jiu Ying .
"The demons in the Supreme Hunting Ground are basically not a match for me . However, I'm not in a rush to gather Demon Injunction Orders . I'm thinking of finding a safe spot to refine my Jindan . At my current cultivation level, I'm rather weak," Wu Yu answered as he pondered .
"This is simple . The demon race relies on the Enslavement Injunction Order to find martial cultivators . Since you do not have one on you, they won't be bothered to fight you, even if they see you . As for me, I will still need to guard against martial cultivators coming for my Demon Injunction Order," Jiu Ying said heartily .
It seemed like martial cultivators that were brought here had really gruesome fates . Even if they wished to hide, there was no place for them to .
However, the same applied to demons in the Demons' Abyss .
Wu Yu had a lot of Golden Essence Pills with him at this moment . Currently, his Jindan was thirsty for them, and now was the time to refine his Jindan through large amount of Golden Essence Pills . Moreover, Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain had left behind many treasures that he still hadn't found the opportunity to look it through .
Together with Jiu Ying, they first walked around the vicinity . Along the way, they met other demons . Seeing Wu Yu with Jiu Ying, they didn't dare to take action .
"Strange, why isn't there any Enslavement Injunction Order on that prey?"
"I don't know . Perhaps Jiu Ying has taken it away . Eh, this isn't right . He has to kill the prey to get the Enslavement Injunction Order, but Jiu Ying doesn't kill humans . "
"That's really strange . "
"Forget it, let's not trifle with Jiu Ying . Although he has a good temper, he is the son of Ying Huang after all . I believe that although Ying Huang appears to be really disappointed with Jiu Ying, he still really dotes on him . Jiu Ying is his only son after all . ”
"Moreover, Jiu Ying is the first person in our demon race to have that level of strength at his age . It is just that his personality is too different from Ying Huang’s . . / . "
Walking past them, Jiu Ying smiled helplessly and commented, "Ever since I was born, I've been hearing similar remarks . I'm already sick of them . "
"You must be really stubborn to stay unchanged under such circumstances . " Wu Yu started to be a little impressed by him . There were indeed few who could stay true to how they really thought .
"I don't know . I was born this way and I can't change it . Everyone says that I don't look like the son of Ying Huang . " Jiu Ying waved his hands .
When they were together, demons would not attack them . As for cultivators, whether it was sword cultivators or ghostly cultivators or ordinary cultivators, Wu Yu and Jiu Ying didn't see a single one of them .
It was said that there were too many demons in the Supreme Hunting Ground with too little prey . At this point, they required a huge replenishment of prey .
Prey that could survive under such conditions had their own capabilities for survival .
Wu Yu still felt uncomfortable at the thought of having many of his kind, including seniors of Shushan, being hunted here . However, he was powerless to change this .
Just like the fox demon in the Demons' Abyss said, Wu Yu couldn't possibly save her .
Soon, they found a rather deserted place . It was an underground abyss hidden within a dark, stone cave .
"I'll keep a lookout outside, you can just relax . " Jiu Ying transformed into his demon form and sat outside the cave . Opening his nine mouths, he started absorbing the spiritual qi from the atmosphere to refine his Yaodan .
