Chapter 775: The Arrival Of The City Lord Of The Night Sorrow City (Part 3)
"Aarzostes had six people with him, but they all died silently, without anyone noticing. Besides her, no one else should have that kind of power."
The young devil’s eyes flashed with a trace of hatred.
This was a reasonable guess.
The human who killed so many of them must be the most powerful human they knew, and since the Green Lotus Sect disciples survived the most, they also had the numbers to do it.
"Amalia!" The City Lord of the Night Sorrow City said the name with deep hatred, each word filled with rage.
The trusted aide felt a bad omen and suddenly saw the City Lord disappear in a gust of wind.
"This is bad; the City Lord must be heading to the human’s passage!"
The aide immediately rushed in the direction where the City Lord had vanished.
Some of the devil elders who had suffered complete defeat hesitated for a moment but then followed him behind, hoping that if the Night Sorrow City Lord could kill the enemy, it would at least be some revenge for them.
Some people left, but others still remained.
"Is it just you who came out? Where is Moralik?" an older devil asked the young devil, his gaze sharp.
The young devil shook his head, "I only heard that he gathered many devils, seemingly preparing to attack the human forces. After that, there was no more news about him. When we were fighting against the Green Lotus Sect and the Eternal One Sect, he didn’t appear either."
The devils looked at the passage, which was slowly fading away, "It seems he’s dead too."
"Maybe it was also done by that Amalia," the young devil said.
"Amalia?" The devil murmured softly, "I’ve never heard of this name. Another top human genius has appeared. If the City Lord of the Night Sorrow City could kill her, it would be good for us. But I’m afraid it might not be possible."
The young devil was not worried.
The City Lord of the Night Sorrow City was a Grand Lord-level devil; killing a Golden Core stage cultivator would be easy for him.
"We should go and see. Maybe this incident will change the agreement between the devils and humans."
The young devil was surprised but then realized it made sense.
If a top human genius was really killed, the humans might be too scared to start a war.
"No!"
A desperate voice echoed loudly in the secret realm.
The figure was rushing towards the passage with extreme speed, but he was still a step too late.
He leaped into the air, but the vortex of the passage had already vanished, and he fell from the sky.
Moralik stared in disbelief at the spot where the passage had disappeared and fell to the ground.
He couldn’t understand why the passage had closed early.
Behind him, the roars of the approaching demonic beast grew louder.
...
"Elder, what did you bet on?" Renshu Chang asked curiously.
Elder Wang was in a great mood, "Oh, it was just a bet on which side would have the most survivors. By the way, if you don’t have any other business, we should leave here right away."
Everyone was a bit surprised by Elder Wang’s urgency.
"Is there something wrong?" Amalia asked.
Elder Wang nodded his head, "There is an issue. Among the devils who entered the secret realm this time, there is one named Aarzostes. He is the heir of the City Lord of the Night Sorrow City, and he died in the secret realm. His father is furious and is rumored to be at the devil passage right now. I’m worried he might come looking for us."
When they heard the name Aarzostes, everyone was slightly stunned.
Senior Brother Cao and a few others who knew about the situation had unusual expressions.
Elder Wang noticed this and, after a moment of thought, asked, "Do you know something?"
"Elder Wang, didn’t the devils and humans have an agreement? In the secret realm, life and death are their own responsibility. Would the City Lord of a Level 3 Devil City dare to break the agreement?" Amalia didn’t answer directly.
Elder Wang didn’t seem to care, "Most City Lords of Devil City wouldn’t dare, but the City Lord of the Night Sorrow City is a special case. His background is quite big."
Amalia’s eyes flashed, "I remember that the City Lord of a Level 3 Devil City needs to have at least Monarch-level strength before they can take control of the devils under them."
"You’re right. Although the City Lord of the Night Sorrow City isn’t a Monarch-level Devil, he does have a Monarch-level Devil as one of his supporters."
"Oh?" Amalia raised an eyebrow.
"Because he comes from the Imperial City of Damnation, which is different from regular City Lords of Devil City. His support is from a huge force behind him," Elder Wang said with a serious expression.
"Imperial City of Damnation?" Amalia was new here and hadn’t yet encountered many of the deeper issues.
"The Imperial City of Damnation is actually a Level 1 Devil City," Renshu Chang explained, "There are only three Level 1 Devil Cities, but each one is enormous. The Imperial City of Damnation is one of them. The other two are the Royal City of the Damned and the Emperor City of Despair, with the Emperor City of Despair being the strongest one."
"The Devil Continent is a complete world just like the Mystic Void Continent. The Emperor City of Despair is a symbol of devil power, with a Devil Emperor in charge. The Imperial City of Damnation and Royal City of the Damned come after."
"So, does the Imperial City of Damnation also have a Devil Emperor?" Amalia asked.
"That’s not clear. A Devil Emperor is like a human cultivator at the Mahayana stage, incredibly powerful. They don’t usually let humans know about important matters. However, Master Lian might know. If you and junior master uncle want to find out about it, you could ask Master Lian. He might tell you," Renshu Chang said in a private message.
