Chapter 205: Uproar.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
The Cathode City Lord has died!
The Demon Kings of the Demon Cloud City looked at each other, all stunned.
Who was the Cathode City Lord? He was the overlord in an area that had a radius of millions li! As early as over 200 years ago, he had entered the high-level Demon King level.
Not to mention that more than 200 years ago, the Cathode City Lord went to the depths of the world to worship all of the Demon Gods, and was blessed.
It’s unbelievable that such a powerhouse died just like that in Su Qin’s hands.
“Master…”
The Demon Cloud City Demon Kings bowed their heads deeply.
Previously, Su Qin had used Demonic Will to enslave them forcibly. Even though these Demon Kings obeyed his orders, they were still a little bit angry.
But now, in their eyes, the Cathode City Lord, who was akin to that of an unmovable mountain, had fallen in Su Qin’s hands. At this moment, these Demon Kings have completely acknowledged allegiance to Su Qin.
The strong is respected in the Cave World and Su Qin was powerful enough to conquer everything. Naturally, no Demon would dare to go against him.
Su Qin ignored the awe on the faces of the Demon Kings. Instead, he turned his gaze outside of the Demon Cloud City.
At this moment, under the shroud of his Magic Power [Calling Wind, Summoning Rain], all the tens of millions of Demon Puppets had almost disappeared.
Seeing this, Su Qin’s thoughts moved, and [Calling Wind, Summoning Rain] began to dissipate.
“It consumed nearly 10% of my Demonic Energy…”
Su Qin’s heart sank.
Magic Powers are divided into two categories, one is active and the other is passive.
The former had energy consumption, while the latter had none.
For example, the [Eyes of Truth] is passive. As long as Su Qin was willing, he could use the [Eyes of Truth] for twelve hours a day.
As for active offensive Magic Powers like [Calling Wind, Summoning Rain], they either consume True Essence or Demonic Energy, Divine Sense, or even both.
“Huh?”
Su Qin raised his brow, as if he had discovered something. He then looked towards the direction where the Cathode City Lord had died.
Soon, a black bracelet flew over and suspended in front of Su Qin.
“This is?”
Su Qin looked at the black bracelet with a thoughtful look on his face.
This inky black bracelet gave Su Qin a feeling similar to the Demon God’s Blade.
Of course, it’s just a feeling. The bracelet was far inferior, if compared to the Demon God’s Blade, in terms of aura. Not to mention that it had a smell similar to a broken product.
“Is this a Demon God’s item?”
Su Qin touched his chin and guessed.
Apart from this, Su Qin also noticed a trace of aura from the puppet army in it.
“Interesting.”
After Su Qin repeatedly confirmed that no one had tampered with the bracelet, he put it away, turned and left. He returned to the City Lord’s great hall.
“Master…”
A trace of disappointment appeared on Mo Ji’s pretty face. Su Qin didn’t even look at her from when he appeared to when he left. This made Mo Ji feel uneasy and wondered if she had done something wrong.
Just then, a calm voice resounded in Mo Ji’s ears.
“You come too.”
“Yes, Master.” Mo Ji’s eyes lit up and immediately briskly walked towards the City Lord’s great hall.
……
The news of the death of the Cathode City Lord spread towards all directions like lightning.
The Cathode City Lord was a well-known powerhouse within a radius of one million li. His whereabouts were naturally noticed by many Demons, especially the old opponents of the Cathode City Lord.
In the Cave World, excluding the depths of the Cave World, high-level Demon Kings were still rare in other areas, especially two high-level Demon Kings’ life and death battles.
In addition, the battle between Su Qin and the Cathode City Lord was no secret. Everyone in the Demon Cloud City had witnessed it.
Hence, not long after the Cathode City Lord died, the news had already reached the ears of the other City Lords.
“How could the new City Lord of the Demon Cloud City be so strong? It’s unreasonable. The Cathode City Lord had entered the high-level Demon King level for more than 200 years now. Why couldn’t he even escape and just die?”
A tall figure, wearing a big black robe and shrouded in darkness, was puzzled.
“City Lord, there are many rumors that the new Demon Cloud City Lord called the wind and rain. The Cathode City Lord and the more than ten Demon Kings under his command were all killed by the wind and rain.“
A chubby Demon next to the figure said.
“Killed by the wind and rain?” The black-robed figure shook his head slightly.
Even he felt that this rumor was too unbelievable. What kind of wind and rain can kill a high-level Demon King?
“Anyway, the fall of the Cathode City Lord is a fact, and the new Demon Cloud City Lord is someone that we absolutely cannot provoke.”
The black-robed figure thought for a while and ordered.
He doesn’t care what happened during the period of time, but since the new Demon Cloud City Lord had killed the Cathode City Lord, it was better to not make him as an enemy.
Since the new Demon Cloud City Lord was able to kill the Cathode City Lord, it shows that the former was very close to Peak Demon King.
In fact, the new Demon Cloud City Lord might actually be a Peak Demon King.
A Peak Demon King was enough to rule a big region, and even the rulers of big regions, who were usually aloof and remote, would willingly invite such an existence personally. It was far from what City Lords, like them, can compare.
Only in this way can it be explained why the Cathode City Lord could not even escape and just died.
After all, although it was easy to defeat a high-level Demon King, it is as difficult as Heavenly Ascension to kill a high-level Demon King.
Among the Demons who had reached the high-level Demon King, none of them were fools. Once they realized that they cannot beat their opponent, they would definitely run away.
If a high-level Demon King desperately flees for his life, unless the difference isn’t too great, he would be able to survive.
“Yes.” The chubby Demon bowed.
In another big city, there were several Demon Kings that wore grave expressions.
“The Cathode City Lord… I have met him. He is good, and he is expected to enter the Peak Demon King level within 100 years.”
“Unfortunately, he died in the hands of the new Demon Cloud City Lord. Do you know what is the origin of this new Demon Cloud City Lord?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t heard of him before.”
The Demon Kings that were exuding deep auras, discussed amongst themselves. At their level, they more or less knew each other, but now a powerhouse of the same level suddenly appeared, naturally they would be curious.
“Looks like I have to visit the Demon Cloud City and pay a visit to this new City Lord…”
One of the Demon Kings whispered. The “visit” in his mouth, was of course not a provocation, but just a normal meeting.
“There’s suddenly such a powerhouse that is suspected to be a Peak Demon King, maybe some other big region secretly arranged this.”
“It seems that this matter must be reported to the Region Lord.”
On a steep cliff, a Demon with fuzzy features murmured to himself.
The Demon had vague facial features and did not reveal any aura. But the Demonic Energy in the Heavens and Earth that was usually extremely violent, was extremely docile and gentle around this Demon.
……
While the outside world was discussing about Su Qin and other such things, like ‘he must not be provoked…’
Su Qin had returned to the depths of the City Lord’s great hall.
The Ancient Tree’s leaves were swaying, and a large amount of Demonic Energy gathered, constantly pouring into Su Qin’s body.
“It’s a pity.”
“I can no longer Sign In here.”
“Otherwise, it would be a Cultivation haven.”
Su Qin sighed softly.
The Ancient Tree was a branch of the real Ancient Demon Tree. It naturally had the effect of condensing Demonic Energy. Cultivating under the Ancient Tree would bring twice the results for half the effort.
This was also the reason why at least one Demon King would stay in every big city.
Countless years ago, the Demon Gods in the depths of the world had scattered the fallen branches of the Ancient Demon Tree to all parts of the Cave World. With the branches as the core, they built large cities to control the Demons of Cave World together.
Whilst Su Qin was thinking, Mo Ji walked in respectfully.
“Master.” Mo Ji hesitated a bit, before finally clenching her teeth and saying: “Since Master has killed the Cathode City Lord, it will definitely attract the attention of the Region Lord…”
“Region Lord?” Su Qin frowned.
“Yes.” Mo Ji said quickly: “But Master does not have to worry. The Region Lord is already half a step into the Earth Immortal Realm. For the Region Lord, let alone the death of the Cathode City Lord, even the death of many, will not move him.”
As listened, Su Qin roughly figured out what a Region Lord of the Cave World was.
In the Cave World, apart from the depths of the Cave World, every ten thousand li will form a big region.
Regardless of whether it was the Demon Cloud City or Cathode City, it belonged to the Mo Huayu Region.
As for the Region Lord of the Mo Huayu Region, he was the strongest in the entire region, almost surpassing the Demon King realm.
“Almost surpassed the Demon King realm?”
“Half a step into Earth Immortal?”
Su Qin thought for a moment, but didn’t dwell on it too much.
As long as one did not completely surpass the Demon King realm, Su Qin doesn’t really care much. If he uses his various trump cards, especially his Mini Domain that he’s currently condensing, even if he really met such an existence, he would be able to hold his ground.
“Alright.”
“I called you because I wanted to tell you something.”
Su Qin looked at Mo Ji and lightly said.
“Master, please say.” Mo Ji immediately replied.
“I will leave Demon Cloud City and go to Cathode City.” Su Qin said, neither fast nor slow.
Since he could no longer Sign In at the Demon Cloud City, Su Qin naturally had to go to other places to take a look. It happened that the Cathode City Lord died in his hands, so he can simply go to Cathode City.
Anyway, the big cities in the Cave World have a branch of the Ancient Demon Tree.
Since Su Qin finished collecting the Dao Accumulation of the branch of the Ancient Demon Tree in the Demon Cloud City, he’ll just go to another branch.
“Huh?”
Mo Ji’s eyes went wide, she couldn’t believe it.
She never thought that Su Qin was about to leave the Demon Cloud City.
“I will give you two choices.” Su Qin looked at Mo Ji and continued: “One is to stay in Demon Cloud City, you can continue to be the Vice-City Lord.”
“Wherever Master goes, Mo Ji will also go, don’t abandon Mo Ji…” Mo Ji’s big eyes were filled with mist as she sobbed.
Of course, Mo Ji knew that the reason why she could be the Vice-City Lord of the Demon Cloud City was entirely because of Su Qin backing her.
“In that case, you can follow me.” Su Qin replied.
For Su Qin, although Mo Ji had little strength, at least during his retreat, she was able to manage Demon Cloud City in an orderly manner.
When he would go into seclusion, he wouldn’t need to worry about being disturbed.
At this time, once Su Qin went to Cathode City, it was estimated that he would go into seclusion. If he had someone like Mo Ji that can help him with many trivial matters in Cathode City, it would save him a lot of energy.
…….
At the same time.
Under Chang’an City.
In the Underground Palace.
Su Qin suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction:
“That is?!”
