Chapter 819: Gaunt Devil

North of Crimson Devil City stood an enormous dark fortress.

In a space deep within the dark fortress, a demonic mountain hovered, at the top of which sat five people in meditation.

These five people exuded an immeasurable aura, dense devil qi surged like great waves around them. Every time they breathed out, it was akin to an army of vicious devils shrieking. All five of them were Highgod Realm masters.

Especially the crimson-haired old man in the middle, the aura from his body was terrifying despite him sitting still. Above his head, crimson devil clouds gently roiled about and merged as he breathed in and out.

A brilliant dark red light scattered down from the void above him akin to rain splattering on the great land, falling over the five people.

Slowly, the dark red light from the void dimmed and disappeared, causing the five people in meditation to open their eyes.

“Big brother, following this method of cultivation, our Five Ghosts Soul-Locked Vicious Ordinance will soon reach major completion.” One amongst the five, a slightly rounded old man said to the crimson-haired person sitting in the center.

“That’s right, after our Five Ghosts Soul-Locked Vicious Ordinance reaches major completion, let's see how those several old ghosts from the Ghost Demon Valley act arrogant in front of us next time the Devil Cave opens.” Another of the brothers echoed in laughter.

The crimson-haired old man in the center smiled faintly, nodding his head. His eyes shone with a sharp black light, “This time, when the Devil Cave opens, the Demonic Devil Bead is ours.”

Their laughter resounded in the secluded space, wretched and harsh to the ears. The crimson-haired old man’s laughter suddenly halted as he took out a jade slip, his divine sense reading the message within, causing him to frown.

“Big brother, what is it?” The rounded old man felt strange and asked.

The other three people also looked toward the crimson-haired old man.

“Just now, Ruigu had someone send a message over saying that a stranger with strength that even he couldn't see through came to Crimson Devil City.” The crimson-haired old man explained and described Huang Xiaolong’s situation to his four brothers.

This crimson-haired old man was none other than Bai Ruigu’s Master, the Crimson Devil City’s Castellan. The other four people were the Crimson Devil City’s Deputy Castellans.

Listening to the crimson-haired old man’s words, the four people became interested in Huang Xiaolong.

“This person casually took out a top divine grade spirit stone, no doubt he has a lot of valuable treasures on him.” One of the five, a tall gaunt old man whose pupils gave off a green light, stated while chuckling with undisguised menace.

This old man was called Gaunt Devil Shi Jiuxin, and was ranked fourth amongst the five.

“Fourth brother, as Ruigu mentioned, this person is not so simple. Even though he seemed to be a perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm on the surface, you mustn't be careless.” Crimson Devil Shi Jiutian reminded.

Shi Jiuxin chuckled nonchalantly, “Big brother, you’re worrying too much. It's just a perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm cultivator, how strong can be he? Could he be so strong that I, a late-First Order Highgod Realm master, can’t handle him?”

The crimson-haired Shi Jiutian contemplated and nodded, not saying anything further. Indeed, no matter how strong a God Realm cultivator was, it could never surpass a late-First Order Highgod Realm master.

On the other side, Huang Xiaolong remained in Crimson Devil City after leaving Bai Ruigu’s shop. He found an inn and requested for an independent courtyard since this Crimson Devil City was one of the four hegemonic powers’ main cities. He planned to stay a few more days and gather some information to pinpoint the location of the Hundred Spirits Beast King’s sealed body part.

Now, his biggest problem was that he was groping blindly, without the slightest clue where the Hundred Spirits Beast King’s last body part could be sealed. As long as he knew the location, the rest was easy.
