Vincent, who had disguised himself as Jacob and chased after Miller, finally left the canyon.
Miller’s state of mind was on the verge of collapsing under Vincent’s relentless pursuit. He cried out sorrowfully as he ran into the canyon, “No, don’t kill me! I was only following the orders of the City Lord. You should kill the City Lord!”
Vincent looked at Miller, who was like a stray dog. He continued to pursue him under the cover of the dark clouds. However, he did not really want to kill Miller, because he still needed someone to go back and tell Andre that the mysterious Dark Elf that had obtained the Elf King’s remains had run away. That way, the Elf King’s remains would be untraceable, and there would be no evidence to prove his death.
After seeing Miller’s cowardly appearance, Vincent could not help but have a thought. He quickly commanded the dark clouds to surround Miller. He raised his hand and lowered countless tentacles to stop Miller. He sneered and said, “Hehe, kid! It’s boring for me to kill you today. If you know what’s good for you, hand over all the treasures that you have, and I might spare your life!”
Miller was trembling with fear at that moment. He no longer had any thoughts of resisting. Upon hearing Vincent’s words, he hurriedly nodded and replied, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll give you everything I have. All I ask is that you don’t kill me!”
Miller quickly took off the storage ring in his hand and threw it to Vincent.
Vincent raised his hand to catch the storage ring. He poured a large amount of psionic power into the storage ring, wiping away all the marks left behind by Miller. He then checked the contents of the ring.
However, after looking through it, Vincent was greatly disappointed. It seemed that Miller, the leader of the guards, was not as rich as he had imagined. Other than some low-level materials, there were only some junks that seemed rather useless. The only thing that could be considered useful was the few thousand crystal coins.
Vincent looked at Miller and said with a cold smile, “Kid, with your wealth, I’m afraid it’s not enough to buy your life!”
After seeing this, Miller knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly, “Please expert, please senior! I’m just a small soldier by the City Lord’s side. Normally, I don’t receive any rewards, so this is all my wealth! But what you don’t know is that I have a very important treasure in my ring. It can definitely be used to exchange for my life!”
Vincent was pleasantly surprised. He could not help but ask, “What else? Quickly say it!”
Miller swallowed his saliva and said with some heartache, “In my storage ring, there is a seemingly ordinary iron token. You can take it out and have a look!”
With just a thought, Vincent instantly found the iron token that Miller was talking about from his storage ring. He then took it out and placed it in his hand. He continued to ask Miller, “What is this thing?”
Miller hesitated for a moment before helplessly saying, “This is the legendary Heavenly Demon Token!”
“Heavenly Demon Token?”
Vincent frowned slightly. He could vaguely sense that this token seemed to be related to the demons that were stationed in Imperial City.
Miller continued, “Ever since our Dark Elves Race was ruled by Gajero, there have been some powerful demons stationed in the Imperial City. These oracles, who symbolize God Gajero, have almost never left the Imperial City. What they want will be issued through the Heavenly Demon Token to get powerful Dark Elves to work for them!”
When Vincent heard this, he could not help but laugh and asked, “You mean to say that you are the Dark Elf who has the ability to receive the Heavenly Demon Token?”
Miller shook his head repeatedly and explained, “This token was not mine, to begin with. It belonged to a Dark Elf who once wanted to cause trouble in Devil Flame City. Later, he was severely injured by the City Lord. I brought him back to interrogate him personally and found this Heavenly Demon Token on his body. Later, under my torture, he finally explained to me the use of the token! The mission given by the demons will remain in the Heavenly Demon Token. Whoever obtains the token can continue to complete the mission. After completing the mission, as long as you bring the token and the items required for the mission to the Imperial City, you will receive the Oracle’s reward! This Heavenly Demon Token contains the simplest mission. You just need to kill the elves. As long as you bring the heads of the elves, you can go directly to Imperial City to meet the oracle and receive the oracle’s reward!”
Vincent was finally curious about the token in his hand. He could not help but look at it carefully. However, it did look like a very ordinary iron token, and it did not have the ability to store information.
Vincent asked in a deep voice, “This broken iron token can store information? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Miller saw that his last thought had been discovered, so he could only helplessly say, “This iron token is actually just a box containing the Heavenly Demon Token. The real power is inside the iron token!”
After hearing this, Vincent tightened his grip. The iron token that was not heavy suddenly flipped open, revealing a plate that was only half the size of a palm. It was sparkling like a purple gem. The aura of the Demon Race that Vincent hated the most was circulating on it.
Vincent kept the token in his storage ring. He turned to Miller and asked, “You obtained all this information through torture back then. How can you be sure that that Dark Elf did not want to trick you into going to the Imperial City to die and perish together with you?”
Miller hurriedly put on an apologetic smile and said, “After the incident, I asked the City Lord about this matter in an indirect manner. The City Lord told me that it was not just the Heavenly Demon Token that could receive missions. As long as the Demon Race’s oracles issued anything, the outcome would be the only thing that mattered. As for who did it and how many creatures died in the process, they did not care at all! Therefore, with this Heavenly Demon Token, it is equivalent to having a pass to enter the Imperial City. When that time comes, wouldn’t power and status be at your fingertips?”
Vincent could not help but sneer. It seemed that the previous plan to use Dave as bait to lure Horace and the others to death should have been organized by Miller. He was merely borrowing the strength of Devil Flame City to help him complete the mission in the Heavenly Demon Token!
Only when this token is in Vincent’s hands would it be able to display its true value. This was because Vincent could use this token to head to the Imperial City in the future. He can then find an opportunity to eliminate all the demons!
Vincent deliberately pondered for a moment. He then sneered at Miller and said, “Hehe, at least you’re sensible. For the sake of this Heavenly Demon Token, I’ll spare your life today! Go back and pass a message to Andre for me. We’re all old acquaintances. Forget about the previous grudges. In the future, as long as he doesn’t continue to pursue me and when I finish absorbing the energy from the Elf King’s remains and become world-renowned, the score will be automatically settled. Just like in the past, everyone will be safe and sound. It’s good for everyone!”
After hearing this, Miller was instantly delighted. He hurriedly nodded and said, “So the old senior and the City Lord are old friends. I will definitely pass on the message to him. May I know your name, senior? This way, I can report truthfully to the City Lord!”
Vincent naturally would not take the initiative to say that he was Jacob because it would appear too pretentious and easily arouse Andre’s suspicion.
Plus, the things that Vincent mentioned back then were nothing more than what he had guessed from the contents of the diary. If he said anything more, it would be easy for Andre to know that he was pretending.
After thinking about it, Vincent suddenly remembered a paragraph in the diary. He then said to Miller, “When you go back, you only need to tell Andre that the things we did back then cannot be recorded in any form. And I should also be a long-dead person. So many years have passed, there is no need for my name to reappear in the world!”
Miller listened with a blank look, but he did not dare to continue asking. He could only nod repeatedly, and asked, “Since I have recorded it, then can I leave?”
Vincent said in a deep voice, “Get lost!”
Miller nodded repeatedly, and without hesitation, he turned around and fled to Devil Flame City.
Vincent immediately put away the dark clouds in the sky. He carefully returned to the surroundings of the canyon. After seeing that thousands of soldiers were still guarding the entrance of the canyon, he could not help but feel happy in his heart. He quickly turned around and went to the foot of the mountain peak that isolated the inside and outside of the canyon.
He raised his hand and pressed against it as he said softly, “Modify and open the door!”
Under the effect of the modification authority, a door suddenly appeared on the thick and heavy mountain peak. Vincent walked through the door and went straight in. He soon returned to the inner part of the canyon again!
Earlier, Vincent wanted everyone to see that Jacob had already escaped. However, it was time for him to reappear in front of everyone with his Dark Elf identity.
Vincent quickly removed the disguise on his body and took out a set of spare clothes. He then transformed back to the appearance of a Dark Elf.
Originally, in order to make the act look more realistic, Vincent would need to cut himself a few times and pretended to be seriously injured. However, he currently had a better method than self-harm!
“Modify and recover!”
Vincent used the modification authority on himself to adjust his own condition back to the time when he was injured.
The injury that Vincent remembered the most was when he escaped the capital of Ultimate Evil after being heavily injured by Justin!
Vincent clenched his teeth and endured the intense pain in his body. The skin all over his body began to crack inch by inch, revealing terrifying scarlet wounds. However, they were only superficial wounds. This was because Vincent’s Flaming Sun Divine Body was not destroyed like before. Instead, he could rely on his divine body technique to forcefully walk toward the entrance of the canyon.
The thousands of soldiers guarding the entrance of the canyon suddenly saw the white miasma begin to surge. Immediately after that, a figure covered in blood appeared in front of everyone.
“Look, that’s Sir Vincent. He is out!”
Everyone cheered in surprise.
However, as Vincent walked closer, all the soldiers soon fell into silence. This was because they saw Vincent’s body covered in wounds. They instantly thought of the great battle that he must have experienced inside the canyon.
Although Vincent was a City Patrol Officer, he only had the strength of a level 25 creature. However, he had faced the mysterious Dark Elf head-on. Even Miller did not dare to face the enemy head-on, Not only did Vincent dare to walk into the canyon alone, but it also seemed that he had been dealing with the mysterious Dark Elf inside the canyon for a long time.
The ones who profited from this were the soldiers who should have followed Vincent into the canyon!

The 300 soldiers who came with Vincent all knelt down on one knee and said to Vincent with tears in their eyes, “Sir Vincent, we… We have let you down!”
The other thousands of soldiers were also affected by the current atmosphere. They also knelt down on one knee to express their highest respect to the brave and fearless hero in front of them.
Vincent did not have the strength to say anything at that moment. He only muttered and sighed, “Danger, retreat quickly!”
After saying that, Vincent fell to the ground.
A few squad leaders quickly shouted, “Stretcher! Doctor! Come quickly! We must save Sir Vincent. Everyone, follow Sir Vincent’s orders and retreat to the city immediately!”
“Yes!”
Everyone replied in unison.
After the doctor bandaged Vincent’s injuries, thousands of soldiers escorted Vincent back to the city.
As no one knew where Vincent lived, the soldiers had no choice but to send Vincent directly to the City Lord’s mansion.
After Andre learned that Vincent was seriously injured but had let the mysterious Dark Elf escape, his expression was cold and heartless. He did not care about Vincent’s situation. He did not even give any instructions on how to deal with him.
Fortunately, Dave rushed over after hearing the news and brought Vincent into his own courtyard.
Monica, who had been staying in the mansion, saw that Vincent was carried back with injuries all over his body. She immediately smiled happily because she thought that she could finally obtain freedom!
However, although she wanted to smile, there was only worry showing on her face. She did not know why, but when she looked at Vincent in front of her, she could not feel happy.
After examining Vincent’s injuries, Dave turned to Monica and said, “Take good care of him. Once he wakes up, inform me immediately no matter what time it is!”
“Yes!”
Monica nodded lightly.
Dave then sighed and walked out of the door. However, when he reached the door, he saw 300 soldiers still gathered in the courtyard.
The soldiers asked one after another, “Your Highness Dave, how is Sir Vincent?”
Dave squeezed out a smile and said to the crowd, “His injuries have stabilized. He is not in danger. All of you should go back first!”
After hearing Dave’s order, the 300 soldiers were still unmoved. They stood in place like statues, their eyes were fixed on the room where Vincent was.
Dave tried to persuade them again, “Everyone, please go back first. Vincent hasn’t woken up yet. It’s useless for you to wait here!”
The soldiers said resolutely, “Your Highness Dave, please let us stay. Sir Vincent is injured so badly because he wanted to protect us. We want to accompany Sir Vincent through this difficult time. As long as he doesn’t wake up, we won’t leave!”
After seeing this, Dave could not help but sigh. He admired Vincent more and more. With just a single trip out of the city, Vincent had won the loyalty of these elite warriors with the strength of a level 25 creature. This meant that Vincent was a natural leader!
Dave said with great emotion, “Alright, I will stay here with you and wait for Vincent to wake up!”
…
In the room, just as Dave pushed the door open to leave, Vincent opened his eyes and looked at Monica who was guarding beside him. He said softly, “Don’t make a sound. Help me keep an eye on the situation outside the door!”
Monica looked at Vincent in shock. After being stunned for a long time, she nodded repeatedly and replied, “Oh, okay!”
As Monica retreated to the door with a vigilant look, Vincent said softly, “Modify and restore!”
The modification authority took effect again, and the injuries on Vincent’s body began to heal rapidly. He soon recovered to his peak condition.
Monica saw that there was nothing unusual outside the door. However, when she turned around, she saw that Vincent had already recovered. She could not help but walk forward and say in shock, “How, how did you recover so quickly…”
Vincent looked at Monica, who had not finished speaking, and said with a smile, “How did I recover so quickly?”
Monica nodded and subconsciously rubbed the corners of her eyes, which were already slightly red. Vincent said softly, “I originally thought that you would be very happy to see me injured, but I didn’t expect you to be worried about me too!”
Monica turned her head to the side and ignored Vincent’s teasing.
Vincent muttered to himself, “Don’t worry, my injuries just now were just a feint in order to deceive the eyes of others. Please make up an excuse and invite His Highness Dave over. I have something to discuss with him!”
Monica shook her head. She sighed helplessly and said, “His Highness Dave is unable to come in for the time being. The soldiers you brought out of the city are all guarding the courtyard at the moment. They are insisting on waiting for you to wake up. Dave can’t persuade them to leave, so he can only stand in the courtyard with them and wait!”
Vincent was stunned for a moment after hearing what Monica had said. He could not help but laugh, “From now on, they can be considered my private soldiers! But unfortunately, I am not a true Dark Elf. I’m afraid that they will be disappointed with me sooner or later!”
Monica saw Vincent’s self-reproach and disappointment and quickly tried to persuade him, “Don’t talk nonsense. Once the elves acknowledge someone, they will not care about the race of the other party. I believe that even if they know your true identity one day, they will still be loyal to you!”
Vincent smiled and said, “Just like how you are worried about my safety, right?”
This time, Monica did not avoid him. Instead, she nodded slightly.
A relaxed smile immediately appeared on Vincent’s face. He said to Monica, “Go out and tell everyone that I’m awake. Let all the soldiers return to the camp and rest. Then, ask His Highness to come and see me!”
Monica nodded, turned around, and walked to the door.
The moment the door was pushed open, hundreds of gazes instantly focused on Monica alone. Monica could not help but shiver.
“Vincent, no, master has already woken up, but he is very weak now and is unable to receive you. He wants you to return to the camp to rest first!”
“Sir Vincent has woken up! That’s great! It’s really the blessing of the gods!”
“Since Sir Vincent has given the order, we will do as he says!”
The group of soldiers left the City Lord’s mansion one after another amidst the surprised exclamations. Only Dave was left standing on the spot, looking at Monica. He was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something but he hesitated.
He wanted to go in and visit Vincent, but he was worried that it would affect Vincent’s rest.
Monica suddenly said softly, “Your Highness, he invited you in!”
“Oh, okay!”
Dave was delighted after hearing that. He hurriedly walked into the room. However, Vincent did not look like he had just woken up from a serious injury nor was he on the verge of death. On the contrary, he looked energetic and vigorous. He looked very healthy!
Dave asked in surprise, “You, aren’t you injured?”
Vincent smiled and raised a ring. It was the Demon King’s Groan.
“I have already cleared away the potential dangers. If I don’t use some tricks, I’m afraid it will be hard to convince others!”
