Chapter 275: City of Sin (First Update)
Night Devil Palace.
The Night Devil Empress suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying demonic aura instantly swept across the entire palace.
“Xue An… you dared to destroy my divided spirit! I will tear you to pieces and ensure your soul never finds peace!” the Night Devil Empress roared.
Under her rage, the entire Night Devil Palace trembled.
The disciples of the Night Devil Palace all knelt on the ground in silence, as if frozen by cold cicadas.
“Night Devil sister, why are you so angry?”
A woman dressed in light gauze, elegant as a Fairy from the Moon Palace, gracefully walked in.
Seeing this woman, the Night Devil Empress couldn’t help but stand up.
“It turns out to be Fairy Thousand Snow gracing us with her presence!”
Fairy Thousand Snow smiled slightly, “Night Devil sister, why the anger just now?”
The Night Devil Empress recounted the incident with a dark expression.
When she mentioned Xue An destroying her divided spirit,
the always composed Fairy Thousand Snow’s expression suddenly changed drastically.
“Xue An?”
“Yes! Does the Fairy also know of this person?”
Fairy Thousand Snow said with a cold, biting laugh, “Of course I know him. A few days ago, I sent Ban Mei to the mortal world to look for a person with immortal fate, but I never expected she would perish so soon after her departure! And the one who killed her was Xue An!”
Having said that, Fairy Thousand Snow looked towards the Night Devil Empress, “Sister, if we do not eliminate this man, my rage will not be quelled!”
The Night Devil Empress nodded, “But we are both bound by rules, and our true bodies simply cannot enter the mortal world. What shall we do?”
Fairy Thousand Snow revealed a smug smile, “Sister, you need not worry. I have my plans, and will surely lead Xue An into our trap! As long as he enters Kunlun, killing him will be as easy as flipping our hand!”
The Night Devil Empress nodded and asked, “Is there anything else you wish to discuss, Fairy?”
“The trial competition will take place in a short while, and with the death of my disciple Wen Banmei, I fear the Thousand Snow Sect may lose!” Fairy Thousand Snow mentioned this with a worried look.
The trial competition was a critical event linked to each Sect’s resource allocation for the coming year, and it was a crucial trial of competition.
If they were to lose, the allocation of Spiritual Energy resources would be reduced, and that would be very troublesome!
“So what does the Fairy suggest…?”
“I would like one of my disciples to cultivate for a while on your Divine Demon Trial Ground to quickly enhance their strength!”
“That’s a bit…” The Night Devil Empress showed a look of difficulty.
“Don’t worry, sister, I will not let you down!”
As she spoke, Fairy Thousand Snow produced an Elixir.
“This is something that can greatly improve one’s Divine Sense cultivation!”
The Night Devil Empress finally showed a smile, “Fairy, you’re too kind!”
Though she said so, she eagerly took the Elixir.
In Kunlun, where Cultivators are numerous and resources are fixed, scarcity of resources occurs.
Therefore, even a single spirit herb is extremely precious to a Sect!
Let alone a Spirit Pill!
Meanwhile.
In the City of Sin.
Deep in a chaotic and unkempt street, there sat an inconspicuous little bar.
The bar’s owner was a Chinese, who was currently sitting in the hall, leisurely drinking Erguotou.
The outside sun blazed fiercely; at this time, there wouldn’t be a soul on the streets.
Only at night would the street be filled with all manner of ghouls and ghosts!
Just as he was drinking himself into a stupor.
A line of people walked in from outside the door!
He was startled awake, then frowned, “The bar opens only in the evening!”
The man leading the group removed his cloak’s hood with a smile, “Old Stone, I’m really happy to see you haven’t drunk yourself to death!”
The moment Old Stone saw this man, his eyes widened in disbelief.
“You… you…”.
After repeating ‘you’ serveral times, Old Stone quickly got up to close the door of the shop, then with a face full of terror, he said.
“Griffin, have you lost your mind? Daring to come back here?”
Griffin smiled, “Why wouldn’t I dare to come back? This City of Sin always had a place for me!”
Old Stone sighed, “After you were driven out, your old territory was long since carved up! Nobody in the City of Sin remembers you now!”
Hearing this, Griffin’s expression turned grim.
“Is it the same with Carter?”
Old Stone gave a wry smile, “Your loyal dog, Carter, is now the one with the most territory!”
“That damned bastard!” Murders flashed in Griffin’s eyes.
“I would advise you not to try taking back your territory. The City of Sin is not what it used to be! Newcomers with high cultivation levels have arrived, and they are extremely ruthless! Some of the people under that Carter are quite formidable!”
“You can have a meal here, then I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” Old Stone rambled on.
Griffin chuckled, “My friend, in the end, the one who didn’t betray me was indeed you! However, I am not leaving this time! Because I am here to clear the path and ascend to the throne of the Dark King of this place!”
Old Stone thought Griffin was boasting and couldn’t help but frown.
At that moment, Xue An removed his bamboo hat, looked around, and said indifferently, “Is this the safe place you were talking about?”
Griffin quickly bowed respectfully and said, “Yes, my lord, Old Stone is an old confidant of mine, and no one knows about our relationship. You can rest assured!”
Xue An nodded noncommittally.
He had originally planned to come directly to this City of Sin and subjugate all the strong with his peerless cultivation!
But he was dissuaded by Griffin.
The latter made it clear, those who walk in the dark would not bow their heads easily!
If one wished to obtain the Fountain of Youth, it had to be by other means!
Xue An was quite interested in this Fountain of Youth because, according to rumors, it was water that could grant immortality!
Yet Xue An always felt it sounded like a Spiritual Spring!
If that were true, it could also aid Xue An’s cultivation!
“A person from Huaxia?” Old Stone was shocked at this moment.
In this place, people from Huaxia were very rare!
Xue An glanced at him, then spoke softly, “All right, remove your bamboo hats.”
At Xue An’s command, the people following him also removed their bamboo hats.
Old Stone was dumbstruck at once.
Because one of them turned out to be a woman.
And she was an incredibly stunning beauty.
Behind her followed two exquisitely adorable little girls!
Each girl was holding a bucket of ice cream, enjoying it contentedly!
What kind of grouping was this?
Could they be here on vacation?
Old Stone looked questioningly at Griffin!
Griffin smiled, “This is my lord! She has come to the City of Sin to help me ascend to the Dark King’s throne!”
Old Stone was torn between laughter and tears, then somewhat helplessly said to Xue An.
“Young man, I don’t know who you are, but you dare to bring such beautiful women to the City of Sin! That’s pure foolishness, it’s seeking death!”
