Chapter 251: Seth and Barghest (1/2)

As the fire extinguished, Lan Xue returned back inside the room. She was able to witness the hundreds of cruel experiments that were previously caged in this underground cave and was able to feel a little bit of the terror those people that were captured must have felt.

She now understood why Seth hated that Clan of demons so much. They treated people's lives like it were their things, doing whatever atrocity they wanted to do with them.

However, this was not the first nor this would be the last time, cruel things like this happened in the cultivation world.

Seth was standing still inside the room, contemplating over the things he had seen on Grigor's memories.

”What now?” Lan Xue asked.

”I've discovered their next hideout location. Let's go, we can still get them unprepared if we depart now.”

Lan Xue nodded and both of them left from the hidden cave.

While leaving, Seth used his Soul Sense to make sure no one would be able to get out of that place alive. A bloodbath had happened there, and over four hundred Cerberus Clan members were killed by either Seth's resentful strikes, or Lan Xue's frigid attacks.

There were only a few people outside that knew the exact position of that hidden cave, but most of them were inside the next location Seth and Lan Xue were heading to. So, what had happened here, would remain hidden for a long time, until someone actively discovered the mountain of corpses inside that hole.

Zertis tried to establish a connection again for the hundredth time, but there was no response from the other hideout. It was like their connections had been totally shut down.

He furrowed his eyebrows and decided to call for the Clan Head. They could not let things like this happen at this time. The masterpiece was close to completion and nothing should disturb the process else Velgor would not like it.

Barghest arrived at his office room some minutes later.

”Why are you calling for me? I have no time for trivial matters.”

”Clan Head, you will certainly find that this is not trivial at all. We lost the connection with the other hideout some hours ago. I've asked Grigor to investigate, since he was closer to that point, but I can't establish a connection with him either. We are probably suffering an attack from a hidden group.”

”An attack? Heh... That makes me think about a very curious thing.”

”Please, enlighten me Clan Head. I have no idea who would try creating trouble for us now.”

”Well... We are said to be dead, trading our lives for protecting the Devil Empress, what is actually a deed that would bring us honor and respect. The point, is that there shouldn't be any hidden powers searching for us, since we protected our empress till the end. Only if that person or group of people knew this was all a bullshit.”

”How? How could someone figure out about that?”

”Simple... That person not only know about us, but saw us too! Only that situation would lead to him or her raising some doubts about what had happened back them. But even so, attack us for that motive is something too vague.”

”What?! Impossible! There shouldn't be someone that have actually seen us and left alive.”

Barghest smiled towards him but he didn't say anything. However, inwardly he already had a very interesting guess.

”This is not a hidden power attacking us, but a hidden expert! I want you to be ready to release the ”Crimson Agent” at any time.”

”Are you planning to use that? It's not ready yet...”

”That doesn't matter. If they discover our location, you are going to do it whether you want to or not. These are my orders. After I give you the signal, you must do it.”

”Sigh... Understood.”

Barghest left that room and entered the laboratory, where there was a huge red cylinder at the middle. He knew that for someone to be attacking them, it was more probably that person would be doing it because of a personal vendetta.

After some time in silence, he smiled and thought: 'So you've finally come... Seth.'
