Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 577
Chapter 577: Chapter 364: Kill_1
Logan and Bart Cloud realized the gravity of the situation. Indeed, once they confront the lords, at least millions of people will be left homeless. However, what kind of entity is this Demonic Sky Gate that has the audacity to take action against the nearby lords?
From Logan’s perspective, the cultivation level of the nearby lords is not low. They are all strength-wise similar to Quasi-Saint Sandy Wexler.
In response to their confusion, the young man continued to explain, “Demonic Sky Gate is a sect of the Demon Path, hence it is not well-liked by the lords and other sects. In fact, every few years, it faces a combined attack, eventually draining the sect of its strength.”
“Having been drained, the sect naturally needs to replenish itself. However, the Demonic Sky Gate doesn’t want to rely on normal sect operations, but rather on plundering other forces. Perhaps in the past, this was insignificant, but their plan this time is to overturn territories spanning millions of miles.”
“There are three major lords and seven top-tier sects nearby, can the Demonic Sky Gate really handle it?” Bart Cloud asked, doubt clouding his features.
If it was about overthrowing or plundering one lord, Bart Cloud believes it could be done. But to plot against all the nearby lords and forces at once? Bart Cloud finds that ludicrous, unless the Holy See intervenes, such a thing is almost impossible.
“This is a hidden secret, and also the reason I’m on the run. The Demonic Sky Gate actually has more than one Quasi-Saint,” the young man revealed.
With a gulp, he continued carefully, “The three missing elders of Demonic Sky Gate have returned, each possessing the strength of a Quasi-Saint. Even the Sect Leader of Demonic Sky Gate has contacted a Sanctuary Powerhouse for help, and he has gathered more than a thousand Dominators and Perfect Kings under his command.”
The local lords are completely unaware of these developments. If they were to be taken by surprise by the Demonic Sky Gate, the intervention of a Sanctuary Powerhouse would wipe out the lords instantly, turning their territory into domains of the Demonic Sky Gate. Countless ordinary people would descend into hell as a consequence.
“San…Celebrity Powerhouse?” Bart Cloud’s eyes widened in disbelief. Once the Holy See gets involved, the situation seems to have far exceeded his understanding. After all, there are only a dozen such beings in the world, each of whom can contend with Heavenly Dao.
He was certain, the lords would have no way to fight back against a Holy See’s intervention. He took a deep, cold breath, almost seeing a sequence of horrific scenes. Even if the young man returns with the news, how would the lords guard against the assault of the Holy See?
Logan, on the other hand, remained calm. He chuckled and said, “The fact that the lords are oblivious does indeed put them at a disadvantage. Therefore, it is crucial that you deliver this information. However, I am curious, are you from the Demonic Sky Gate who has had a change of heart and decided to help the lords, or are you a spy placed in their ranks?”
“My name is Tanner Scarlet, I come from the Scarlet Clan. Our lord, Cain Scarlet, is one of the lords,” the young man contemplated for a moment, then answered, lifting his head. Since Logan is suspicious and wants to know everything, he would simply tell the truth.
He was clear that his critically wounded body could hardly make it back safely. His only hope was Logan and Bart Cloud’s protection. Hence, he didn’t want to hide anything. As long as they were not from the Demonic Sky Gate, even if they were enemies of the Scarlet Clan, it would do.
Upon hearing the name, Cain Scarlet, both Logan and Bart Cloud were startled. Wasn’t this the lord who had a dispute with Sandy Wexler a few days ago, also the cause of the downfall of the Nango Residence? It was unexpectedly fortuitous to come across a member of his clan now.
Logan coughed slightly, then said, “Meeting is fate. Since the Demonic Sky Gate has committed such heinous crimes, we should certainly not stand by. It’s about a hundred miles from here to Cain Scarlet’s city, and it will take a day and a half. We will escort you during this time.”
“Thank you.” Upon hearing this, Tanner Scarlet bowed immediately with gratitude. With the many wounds on his body, he had thought that he would never get back alive. After all, to kill him, the Demonic Sky Gate had deployed five or six thousand people to search for him in the vicinity.
“Actually, this is not just a matter between the lords and the Demonic Sky Gate. As it involves the forces of good and evil, if the Demonic Sky Gate can invite a Celebrity Powerhouse to help, the lords can surely find reinforcements too. Otherwise, with the strength of a Quasi-Saint, they will surely be defeated in no time.”
While they hurried on their way, Logan analyzed, “It is because of this that the Demonic Sky Gate is keen on killing you. Otherwise, even if you escaped, it wouldn’t affect the big picture.”
Tanner Scarlet looked at Logan with new respect. He had to admit that Logan’s analysis made sense. Although there existed conflicts and even hostility among the lords, once a conflict arose with the magic cult, they would certainly unite against it, and help was bound to arrive.
As they moved forward, they were suddenly stopped by a group of people who had set up a barricade extending for several hundred meters. It already blocked dozens of people, and though they held grudges, they dared not lash out against the Demonic Sky Gate.
One of them came forward and questioned, “Where are you three from? Where are you going? Have you seen a severely wounded man? The one next to you looks pale. Is he scared or is it due to an injury causing his loss of color?”
He scrutinized Tanner Scarlet closely, obviously having picked up on his condition. Although Logan had provided some healing medication to mitigate Tanner’s injuries, it would take at least two or three days for him to recover completely. At this moment, being questioned made the already-anxious Tanner even more scared.
“We’re passing by, and he is indeed terrified. After all, you guys radiate a formidable aura.” Logan acted as if nothing was wrong and even handed over a hundred Spirit Stones to brush them off. Given Logan’s strength, he was naturally not afraid of these people, as their strongest among them was only at the King’s Seat level.
