Chapter 373: A Deal with The Demons

What the experts from the Heaven Palace Sect did next proved Huang Fan’s speculation to be correct.

Surrounded by Ling Dong and other Heaven Palace Sect experts, Zhao Luofeng stood face to face with Auden and the gigantic, two-headed python.

“Once the grand spell formation left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is started, it can’t be stopped,” Zhao Luofeng said with an expressionless face, his tone so calm and peaceful that it was as if he was only stating a fact. “I guess you didn’t expect us to obtain all three fragmentary star marks during the Heaven Gate trial and unite them within such a short time.

“As you know, once a person successfully merges the three fragmentary star marks with their body, they will be able to seal the spatial rift with the grand spell formation left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”

As Zhao Luofeng spoke, dazzling starlight continued to pour down from the highest heavens.

As rivers of starlight infused into the spatial rift, brilliant starlight seemed to turn into winding brooks that flowed over the mouth of the bottomless hole and formed complicated, mysterious patterns.

“This spatial rift is destined to be sealed again. Once the sealing process is finished, you and your kind won’t be able to go through the spatial rift anymore.

“So that means even if you send in your entire Demon army, the moment the spatial rift is sealed, their connection with your realm will be cut off.

“Once that happens, your troops will be trapped in the Domain of the Falling Stars and surrounded by us.”

Eyes narrowed, Zhao Luofeng looked at Auden with a composed expression on his face as he continued, “I figure that you understand that the odds will be against you if you have to face all of the powerful human experts in the Domain of the Falling Stars, right? Perhaps that’s why you didn’t bring your entire army through this spatial rift. Instead, it’s just you and that thing...”

Then, Zhao Luofeng laid his eyes on the two-headed python and added, “You’re just here to check things out, aren’t you?”

ROOOAARRRR!!

Eyes glittering with the light of brutality, the two-headed python let out a beastly bellow, as if it wasn’t happy with Zhao Luofeng’s statement.

Sitting on his warhorse and adorned in heavy armor, Auden waved his hand at it, signaling it to settle down.

Meanwhile, every expert from the Heaven Palace Sect remained silent after Zhao Luofeng finished talking.

Ling Dong, who had fought a brief but intense battle against Auden, also stayed silent, but he fixed his ice-cold gaze on the seemingly restless, two-headed python, as if he was preparing for what was to come.

After a moment of silence, Auden turned to Nolante from the Astarte Clan and said in the Demon language, “This has nothing to do with you. I can take it from here. You may leave.”

A hint of grimness appeared on Nolante’s unearthly handsome face as he replied in the Demon language, “Auden, don’t tell me that you actually want to make a deal with these despicable humans!? Don’t you think you should take that thing back from them with the most brutal means possible and kill every human in this place to wash off the disgrace they brought you?”

“I said it’s our business and it has nothing to do with the Astarte Clan!” Auden raised his voice.

“Uncle, as slowly as it is, this spatial rift is being sealed,” Zelia reminded Nolante in a soft voice.

Nolante nodded at her before he turned to look coldly at Auden’s masked face and said, “Alright, you take care then.”

With these words, he and the others from the Astarte Clan turned around and disappeared into the spatial rift, which was glittering with increasingly bright starlight.

After they were gone, Auden and the two-headed python became the only Demons in the valley.

“So what do you want?” Auden asked in fluent human language.

Upon hearing these words, Nie Tian noticed that the eyes of Zhao Luofeng and Ling Dong lit up simultaneously.

“This is a list of the things we want.”

Zhao Luofeng waved his hand, and a piece of yellow oiled paper that had crooked Demon language written on it flew towards Auden.

Auden grabbed it with his empty hand and started reading.

Sitting on the mountaintop, Nie Tian could hear vague, intermittent panting sounds from within the starlight-glittering spatial rift.

Then, he realized that a terrifying Demon army must be gathered in the dim, spooky spatial tunnel.

All kinds of low-tier Demons, as well as powerful high-tier Demons from the Fourth Demon Realm, must be waiting for Auden’s orders in there.

Auden’s original plan had probably been to launch a massive invasion right away, sweep across the Realm of Mystic Heaven within the least possible time, and take the thing he had set his mind on.

However, the timely arrival of Nie Tian and Huang Fan and the fact that he had already activated the grand spell formation using the fragmentary star marks seemed to have changed Auden’s mind.

That was probably why Auden and the two-headed python were the only ones that had come out of that spatial rift.
