Even though Jacdo and his people had acted quite normally during this period, looking quite harmless, their massive amounts of negative faith energy told Ali and James that they were not good people.

If they were allowed to stay here in this town, their true natures would be exposed sooner or later, causing harm to this town.

This was exactly what Ali and James did not want.

If it was under normal circumstances, they would keep an eye on Jacdo and the others and keep them in check.

However, they had no choice but to leave under these circumstances.

The heroʼs trial was something that the hero could not do without.

The hero was the key figure to defeating the demon king and ending this demon disaster.

If the demon king was not defeated, the demon disaster would not end, and the world would remain in danger.

Whether they became the hero or watched someone else become the hero, they still had to go and participate.

Chen Heng knew exactly what they were thinking.

”If you need to go, then go,” Chen Heng said as he smiled, ”I will support you no matter what.”

”Thank you,” Ali felt somewhat touched and hesitated before telling Chen Heng to be wary of Jacdo and his people.

Only after Chen Heng nodded did they leave.

Watching the two of them depart, Chen Heng thought to himself.

”Looks like theyʼre very concerned about you,” Chen Heng said as if he was talking to himself as he sat on the wooden chair, ”Even right before they leave, theyʼre reminding me to be careful of you.”

It was as if Chen Heng was really speaking to himself, but soon, a hazy figure appeared next to Chen Heng.

”How did you discover that I was beside you?”

After appearing, Jacdo continued to stand next to Chen Heng.

He looked at Chen Heng, a look of surprise on his face.

”Just a guess.” Chen Heng smiled and said, ”After all, this is quite a rare scene; wouldnʼt it be a pity to miss it?”

”That is true.” The demon king nodded.

The hero candidate and outsider saying goodbye was indeed a rare scene.

At the same time, he had some things that he wanted to ask Chen Heng.

That was why he had come.

”How are your preparations going?”

The demon king smiled as he looked at Chen Heng, ”The heroʼs trial has already appeared, and you donʼt have much time left. If you miss this opportunity, the heroʼs trial wonʼt appear again during your lifetime.”

”I understand,” Chen Heng nodded. He knew this clearly.

The demon king and hero would only be reawakened or chosen when an outsider came in.

This meant that if Chen Heng missed this opportunity, unless the next outsider came while he was still alive, he would not live to see another heroʼs trial.

”So what is your decision?” Jacdo asked as he grinned.

”What do you think?” Chen Heng asked calmly, ”Based on what you said, I donʼt even have a choice.”

”Indeed, you donʼt have a choice,” Jacdo nodded, before asking in curiosity, ”So youʼve decided to participate in this heroʼs trial and compete with that boy?”

”It looks like youʼre looking forward to this,” Chen Heng said as he looked at him.

”Of course,” Jacdo laughed, ”itʼs the first time Iʼve seen an outsider participate in the heroʼs trial. Putting aside the significance of it, just this alone makes me feel great anticipation.”

Looking at Jacdoʼs smile, Chen Heng remained calm, ”After Ali leaves, I will also depart from a different route. During that time…”

He looked at Jacdo and asked, ”Is the esteemed demon king willing to be hired by me to be my bodyguard?”

Hearing this, Jacdo paused for a moment before laughing.

”Oh, you,” he laughed, as if it was very amusing, ”you know who I am?”

”Yes—the representative of negative faith energy and the origin of demon beasts: This worldʼs eternal demon king,” Chen Heng said unhurriedly.

”Since you know, you still dare to hire me to protect you?” Jacdo grinned as he looked at Chen Heng, ”Youʼre asking the demon king to personally escort a hero candidate to the heroʼs trial? However, I am quite interested in this offer of yours, so Iʼll accept it.”

”Very good,” Chen Heng nodded, ”since thatʼs the case, you should prepare too. When the time comes, Iʼll send an attendant to let you know.”

Jacdo did not say anything in response; instead, his body seemed to gradually vanish until he disappeared.

Chen Heng continued to sit there and thought to himself.

Time gradually passed.

The next day, Ali and James began to pack their things.

Before Ali left, a big group of mercenaries surrounded him and expressed their reluctance to part with him.
