Chapter 346: Young Masters (1/2)

The Pelagic World. The Pelagic Orb contained a real minor world!

Situ Zong could unleash it right after completing an initial refinement of the treasure. The power of a standalone world rendered even arcane dao immortals helpless, and the treasure seized them without difficulty.

Nevertheless, Situ Zong hadn’t fully refined the Pelagic Orb yet. He could trap the Witherdew immortals, but not kill them. After all, there were still two arcane dao immortals among them.

Initial arcane dao immortal came right after peak aether dao immortal realm, but the differences between the two were night and day. Only by fully refining the Pelagic Orb could Situ Zong kill arcane dao immortals.

“Young lords!” With a wave of his hand, Situ Zong scattered the world of pure water and handed the greyish orb back to Qing Han with both hands, his longing gaze firmly glued to the treasure.

“Keep it,” Qing Han said with a smile when he noted Situ Zong’s expression. “I’m not taking the Cosmic Skycarver from you without giving you something back.”

Situ Zong then glanced at Lu Yun. Only when he received a nod of approval did he put the orb away with great delight.

“Don’t use it in public, though,” Lu Yun cautioned solemnly, “or you’ll be in a world of trouble.”

“Hahaha!” Situ Zong laughed heartily. “Don’t worry, young lord. We of the Star Demon Sect fear no trouble!”

He was a peak aether dao immortal and he’d gained a treasure that perfectly fit his abilities. He’d never felt more confident than he was now. A little trouble didn’t seem to warrant any consideration at all.

“Was the treasure acquired through unscrupulous means?” he asked in sudden realization.

Lu Yun and Qing Han shrugged in unison.

“Hehehe, the young lords worry too much. The Star Demon Sect is the greatest demon sect in the world of immortals. Not even the leaders of the nine majors, ten lands, and four immortal seas can do anything to us!”

Self-satisfaction percolated through his expression. He’d even just kidnapped the two arcane dao immortals from Witherdew Major without hesitation. Once they left the dragon tomb, he planned to make the Witherdew court ransom the two of them.

The sect was currently the greatest demon faction in the world. Even the Skandha Range, the so-called demon sacred land, paled in comparison.

The Skandha Range was a loosely-organized group, with the mountain range in Dusk Province being its only semblance of a homebase. It wasn’t a sect, per se. Despite the great solidarity it inspired, it wasn’t as powerful as the Star Demon Sect.

That was, of course, if one didn’t consider the fact that the sect was actually part of the Skandha Range itself.

“That’s good.” Lu Yun nodded. “It seems that I’ve worried too much. Considering the sect’s power, you aren’t going to fear the North Sea court, are you?”

“That’s right. Just a North Sea—” Situ Zong widened his eyes and turned to Situ Yun in confusion. “Wait, the North Sea court?!”

Situ Yun and the other disciples exchanged befuddled glances as well. A bad feeling about all this was creeping up on them.
