Chapter 1423: The Devils Have Arrived

Saintly Forest Courtyard.

After the Dusk Emperors and his entourage left, the remaining Saints stepped forth to congratulate Xiang Shaoyun one after another. All these Saints had also benefited when Xiang Shaoyun finished forging his pseudo-god body. Although Xiang Shaoyun had never intended to benefit all these people, they were still grateful toward him.

Of course, their main goal was still to befriend Xiang Shaoyun. After all, a young genius like him would eventually grow into one of the most powerful cultivators in the dominion so long as he did not die young. In fact, if he lived long enough, he could probably become one of the lord guardians of the new generation. Thus, these people were honored to be able to befriend him early on.

Xiang Shaoyun did not refuse their gesture and gave some of his time to each of them. Although he didn’t become good friends with any of them, he still spent enough time to remember all of them.

Meanwhile, the second prince acted as the intermediary, introducing Xiang Shaoyun to the Saints and making their interactions feel much more natural. By doing so, the second prince had also earned himself a good reputation among those Saints. In a way, his Hero Assembly Pavilion had benefited from his actions.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun walked up to the Saintly Forest Courtyard’s leader. After giving the leader a slight bow, he said, “I would like to thank you. Your courtyard has allowed me to gain a lot. I’m unable to repay this favor, but I have some primal chaos lightning liquid here. Please accept it.”

Xiang Shaoyun then took out a tiny bottle filled with 81 drops of primal chaos lightning liquid before handing it over. Everyone present had a burning look in their eyes upon seeing the liquid.

Even the courtyard leader grew excited. “Xiang Shaoyun, your gift is too valuable. The Saintly Forest Ranking has existed since ancient times. The Saintly Forest Courtyard is also honored to have you at the top of the ranking. All your gains come from the Saintly Forest Stele. You don’t need to thank us.”

“Be that as it may, I, Xiang Shaoyun, am not an ignorant individual. Although us cultivators don’t believe in the karma of the Buddhists, I still understand that the Saintly Forest Courtyard is in charge of watching over the Saintly Forest Stele. Any gains I get will therefore be related to the courtyard. If you need any help in the future, I will definitely do my best!” promised Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

When the leader saw how serious Xiang Shaoyun was, he stopped insisting. He knew how valuable the primal chaos lightning liquid was as well. With a smile, he said, “Since that is the case, it will be impolite if I continue refusing.”

After putting the bottle of liquid away, he said, “After topping the ranking, your token has also become the most authoritative entrance token. You now have access to the entire Saintly Forest Courtyard. You will also enjoy a 50 percent discount on anything you buy here. Also, the courtyard will fulfill three of your requests free of charge. Even if you need to have a God killed, it can be done.”

Toss a peach, get back a plum. This was both a slogan of the Saintly Forest Courtyard and a promise. They carried a mission to protect the cultivators remarkable enough to enter the Saintly Forest Ranking.

“Thank you, courtyard leader,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a bow.

“Congratulations, Shaoyun. Congratulations, courtyard leader,” said the second prince.

The Saintly Forest Courtyard might be located in the Dusk Dynasty, but it was an existence beyond the dynasty’s administration. Additionally, the courtyard did not partake in politics. It was said that the one to win the Saintly Forest Courtyard’s support would gain a shortcut to the throne. However, nobody had managed to do so before.

“Let’s go, second prince. Time to look for a good place to grab a drink,” invited Xiang Shaoyun. He had a rather good opinion of the second prince.

Hearing the invite, the second prince was overjoyed. He said, “Sure. Let’s go to the Immortal Road Chamber.”

At this time, one of the Saints present said, “Second prince, Brother Xiang, I wonder if I can join?”

With someone taking the lead, the other Saints asked to join as well. All of them wanted to take this chance to deepen their relationship with Xiang Shaoyun.

“I’ll let you decide, Shaoyun,” said the second prince. One could see just how much he favored Xiang Shaoyun.

There was no doubt that all the Saints present were powerful cultivators, but Xiang Shaoyun alone was probably better than ten of them added together.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, “Sure. Having more people will only make it more fun.”

Xiang Shaoyun was not interested in getting involved in the Dusk Dynasty politics, but he wouldn’t mind showing the second prince some favor. As for how the second prince would make use of that favor, it would rely on the second prince. The group thus headed toward the Immortal Road Chamber.

The Immortal Road Chamber was the most luxurious restaurant in the Dusk Dynasty. Unlike regular restaurants, it was akin to the garden and palace of immortals. It was extremely expansive and was extremely beautiful. The place was filled with running spring water, pavilions, rock gardens, and graceful birds. Anyone’s mood would greatly improve after taking a stroll inside the Immortal Road Chamber.

Each and every one of the waitresses walking around was a beauty, their looks and good service serving to bring delight to all guests and make them feel at home.

The Immortal Road Chamber was not a business under the Dusk Dynasty. It was rumored to be a business of a certain legendary superpower. Its branches could be seen in the various big cities of the dominion. Nobody would dare cause trouble in the Immortal Road Chamber, not even those from the imperial clan.

During his previous life, Xiang Shaoyun had heard of the Immortal Road Chamber, the Guangling Palace, and the Celestial Alliance. These were among the oldest and most powerful organizations in the dominion. Little was known about them except that they were extremely terrifying. Even Gods would not dare to rashly offend any of them.

During his previous life, Xiang Shaoyun was extremely ambitious and aimed to wage war with the world and establish his own dynasty. However, he was nothing in the eyes of those superpowers. Thus, even though he was known as the unequaled overlord, he also barely knew these top organizations. Now that he had reached a brand new level in his cultivation, he had a feeling that these superpowers would show themselves one after another.

Chaotic times were coming.

…

The dominion had four Bloodsin Cities located at the northern, southern, eastern, and western parts of the dominion. Each Bloodsin City served as a lock, suppressing an entrance to the Devil Domain. All the entrances were guarded by human experts, not giving the devils any chance to rise to the surface.

One day, at a remote location within the Dusk Dynasty’s territory, repeated sounds of collision suddenly rang out, and the ground cracked. Strands of devilish energy surged out of the ground, instantly turning a nearby town into ruins. All the humans in the area were pulled into the crack. Next, a thick bloody mist covered the area.

Wails filled the air as the thick devilish energy covered the area. The devils had created a brand new entrance and were launching an attack on the dominion. One devil after another charged out of the opening on the ground. All of them had a bloodthirsty look in their eyes as they started heading toward places of human gathering.

Several draconic life forms soared high into the sky. One of them roared, “Tremble, humans. The Diabolic Dragon Clan shall become the master of the world!”
