Chapter 3: Shendu is known to never keep promises!

Lounging in his office chair, Samuel Kade opened the system store, where he discovered he had accumulated 300,000 system points.

Seems like a lot, right?

But what's the use? He couldn't buy anything worthwhile.

Ding! "Host, you have one lottery chance remaining. Would you like to proceed with the lottery draw now?"

Just then, the system's voice suddenly chimed in.

"Lottery!" Samuel Kade responded without hesitation. He had nothing better to do and figured it would be a good way to pass the time.

Moreover, the system's lottery sometimes did yield valuable rewards. For instance, his first draw earned him a one-time random teleportation opportunity!

It was because of this that he was able to escape from the Underworld!

Ding! "Congratulations, Host! You have won a new skill from the lottery: Immunity to Sealing!"

Just then, the system's voice rang out again.

Immunity to Sealing?

What was this all about?

Curious, Samuel Kade gazed at the speck of light in front of him and reached out to grab it.

In an instant, a surge of information flooded his mind!

Immunity to Sealing: After learning this skill, all sealing spells will be rendered ineffective against the Host!

Whoa!

How amazing was that?

Samuel Kade was momentarily stunned!

As an immortal demon, there was very little in this world that he feared. His only concern was being sealed away in the Underworld again!

Moreover, there were quite a few sorcerers in this world capable of doing just that…

For example, his old man, the Ancient One, Doctor Strange, and Doctor Fate…

If he were to encounter any of these individuals, Samuel Kade might very well be sealed away in the Underworld once more!

But now, that didn't seem to be an issue anymore…

Because as long as he learned the Immunity to Sealing skill, he would never be sealed again!

Well done, system!

Without any hesitation, Samuel Kade clenched the light in his hand!

As the light merged into his body, he felt as if an exquisitely crafted array had formed within him!

And this array could help him resist any sealing spells!

Now, he was truly immortal and invulnerable!

How delightful!

Ding! "New mission is now available: Please report to Shendu's location for check-in! Reward: One lottery chance and 10,000 system points!"

Just then, the system suddenly announced a new mission!

But upon hearing the details of the mission, Samuel Kade couldn't help but feel frustrated.

The reason was simple: Samuel Kade really didn't want to deal with Shendu…

Having taken the place of Tso Lan, Samuel Kade inherited all of its memories.

In those memories, Shendu had always been a cunning and treacherous figure who never kept promises!

Thousands of years ago.

After all the demons were defeated by the Eight Immortals and sealed in the Underworld.

Shendu suggested that the other seven demons use magic to send him to the human world, where he would find a way to save his brothers and sisters.

The demons believed Shendu's words and used magic to send him to the human world!

But once there, Shendu forgot his promise and began to rule the world of humans alone!

It wasn't until the appearance of Lo Pei that Shendu was stripped of the twelve talismans and transformed into a stone dragon statue.

Because of this, the demons in the Underworld had always held a grudge against Shendu...

So after leaving the Underworld, Samuel Kade had never bothered with Shendu.

However, due to their unique connection, Samuel Kade could occasionally sense Shendu's soul screaming in agony, but he didn't care in the slightest.

He thought that as long as he didn't seek out Shendu, they would have nothing to do with each other.

But he never expected the system to issue such a mission...

Although he found the mission rather baffling, Samuel Kade still decided to go see Shendu.

But don't get the wrong idea; he wasn't going to reminisce with Shendu. He just wanted more chances to participate in the lottery!

After all, his recent lottery experiences had indeed yielded some fantastic rewards.

"Maybe I'll get something good?"

With that thought, Samuel glanced at the time and then got up, heading straight for the door.

"Where are you going?"

Selina asked curiously.

"To see my good-for-nothing little brother!"

Samuel replied without looking back and walked out.

Uh...

Selina was speechless, as she hadn't expected Samuel to have a younger brother.

Although she didn't know where Shendu was, it clearly wasn't an issue for Samuel.

Because when the system issued the mission, it had already marked the coordinates – all he needed to do was follow the route.

As the Moon Demon, Samuel naturally possessed the ability to fly. However, he ultimately decided to drive there.

The reason was simple: he didn't want to explain to everyone why a psychologist could fly.

A few hours later, Samuel finally arrived at the city where Shendu resided!

Meanwhile, in a dark basement...

"Losers! Losers! You're all a bunch of losers! Up until now, you haven't found a single talisman! You've disappointed me so much!"

In the empty basement, a roar of anger suddenly rang out.

Following that, the coiled dragon statue hanging on the wall emitted a burst of red light from its eyes.

A wave of demonic energy instantly spread out, frightening the few people in front of it into shivering!

This coiled dragon statue was none other than Shendu, who had been stripped of the twelve talismans!

As for the humans in front of Shendu, they were naturally Valmont, Ratso, Finn, Chow, and Tohru!

They belonged to the dark hand, currently the most loyal subordinates of Shendu!

The reason for their loyalty, of course, was the promise Shendu had made to Valmont.

As long as Valmont helped him retrieve the twelve talismans, he would gift Valmont the legendary Golden Rooster King's treasure...

Of course, everyone knew that Shendu would not keep such a promise!

After all, Shendu never kept promises, not to his brothers and sisters and certainly not to a human like Valmont.

Faced with the furious Shendu, Valmont had a wronged expression.

After all, he had nearly spent his entire fortune helping Shendu find the talismans, which was why his tens of thousands of subordinates had dwindled down to just these four.

Yet even so, Shendu continued to blame him, making Valmont feel utterly bitter!

Just as Valmont was about to say something, a sudden wave of inexplicable drowsiness struck.

The next second, Valmont's neck went limp, and he passed out.

Ratso and the others hadn't even reacted before they also fainted...

What's going on?

Shendu immediately became alert!

Although his soul was trapped in the coiled dragon statue, he could still sense a powerful magic approaching him!

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Shendu roared, his eyes blazing red.

The next second, a stranger appeared at the basement door.

Shendu was slightly taken aback because he could actually sense a familiar aura from this unknown human.

What a strange feeling!

Before he could ask any questions, the stranger spoke first.

"Hello there, Shendu!"

Samuel slowly said.

Hearing this familiar voice, Shendu's soul couldn't help but tremble!

For he remembered the owner of this voice!

The Moon Demon: Tso Lan!

The most powerful demon among the Eight Great Demons!

(To be continued.)
