Chapter 604: Sunshadow City (Part 1)

Kenny Lin did not conceal his Golden Core cultivation, which led several warrior-level devils to realize that a Golden Core cultivator was present.

Feeling they were no match with him, they didn’t even dare to fight and fled instantly.

Amalia only managed to slay one devil while the others escaped.

"This isn’t my fault," Kenny Lin quickly deflected the blame before Amalia could speak.

Amalia sighed, "Next time, you should hide yourself first."

Kenny Lin frowned, "Is that really necessary?"

"Yes!" Amalia said firmly.

"Fine," Kenny Lin replied, disappointed.

Amalia thought for a moment and, still uneasy, added, "Even if we encounter a leader-level devil, don’t reveal yourself. Let me handle it first, and if I can’t, then you can step in."

Kenny Lin was about to argue but found himself at a loss for words.

He had nothing more to say.

Seeing Kenny Lin fall silent, Amalia felt reassured.

She then proceeded to cut off the head of the devil she had slain.

She didn’t remove the crystal core from the devil’s head.

Although Senior Tian hadn’t specified that he needed a thousand intact warrior-ranked devil heads, Amalia decided it was better to be safe than sorry and left the crystal core inside.

With Kenny Lin following her instructions, the rest of the journey appeared to be Amalia traveling alone.

It must be said that this method was quite effective.

The devils that were hiding in the shadows noticed that Amalia seemed to be alone.

They began plotting, hiding in the underbrush and waiting for her to approach them before launching an attack.

However, they were unaware that their movements were already exposed to Amalia.

Amalia didn’t even need Kenny Lin’s reminder.

When the devil suddenly jumped out from behind her, she instantly drew her blade and slashed it out.

The devil also wielded a blade, but before its sword tip could touch Amalia, her flashing blade had already sliced through it.

In order to ensure the integrity of the heads, Amalia avoided beheading her targets.

This choice inadvertently increased the difficulty of her task.

The head part was the devil’s greatest weakness because the crystal cores that they were cultivated were located in their brains, unlike human cultivators, whose weaknesses varied at each stage.

Despite the increased difficulty, Amalia had always excelled at facing challenges head-on.

There was still more than half a month left until the one-month deadline.

She needed to kill at least one leader-level devil and dozens of warrior-level devils daily.

However, at the start, Amalia’s daily yield was barely twenty devils.

"This pace is too slow," Amalia sighed as she paused to tally her gains.

By this time, they had traveled over a hundred miles from the Obsidian City.

She now understood why Cai Jianjun and Renshu Chang had advised her to head directly south.

The devils in this direction were not only fewer but also weaker.

The dozen or so warrior-level devils Amalia had killed were among the weakest of their rank, and along the way, she had encountered even more Trainee-level devils.

"There’s a devil city up ahead," Kenny Lin reported upon his return.

He had just gone out to scout and found that the devil armies deployment matched with the map that Cai Jianjun had provided; it was indeed a small city.

Amalia recalled the details about this devil city, "I remember this city should be called Sunshadow City. According to Uncle Cai’s deployment map, it’s classified as a Level 9 minor city among the devil cities."

Kenny Lin nodded his head in agreement.

The devil cities are divided into nine levels, with level nine being the smallest and level one being the largest.

"A Level nine city will have at least one great leader-level devil," Kenny Lin said.

Amalia frowned.

A great leader-level devil was equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, making them very powerful, and their chances of success were slim.

"Let’s forget about it. We shouldn’t go to Sunshadow City. If it becomes necessary, we’ll reconsider it," Amalia said.

Kenny Lin furrowed his brow, "Hunting wild devils like today, we might not encounter even one leader-level devil. We wouldn’t even be able to gather a hundred warrior-level devils in a day."

"This Sunshadow City has only one great leader-level devil. According to Cai Jianjun’s information, there are at least three or four leader-level devils and at least a thousand warrior-level devils. If we can take down Sunshadow City, we only need to find a few more leader-level devils to meet Senior Tian’s requirements."

"That’s true, but that great leader-level devil is a big problem. Unless it’s not in Sunshadow City, it’s too risky," Amalia understood this logic, but it was easier said than done.

Kenny Lin smiled, "If the great leader-level devil is there, leave it to me. I’ll draw it away, and you can kill the remaining devils as many as possible."

"I’d have to be crazy to listen to you. A great leader-level devil is not the same as an ordinary leader-level devil," Amalia said without hesitation.

Kenny Lin retorted, "Don’t you trust your fiancé?"

Amalia couldn’t be bothered to correct his term for her, "It’s not about trust. It’s just not possible."

Moreover, if he called himself her fiancé, there was no way she would let him take such a huge risk.

Kenny Lin grinned, "Alright then, I’ll listen to you this time. Since you don’t agree with the plan, we’ll act according to the situation. Maybe the great leader-level devil won’t be there."

"Then let’s act according to the situation," Amalia agreed.

At least if the great leader-level devil happened to be absent, there might be a chance of success.

Continuing forward, they took cover behind bushes and trees until they reached the vicinity of Sunshadow City.

Though small, the Sunshadow City housed a considerable population, around a hundred thousand in total.

The devil creatures of various ranks entered and exited through the city gates, including the civilian devils alongside the lower-ranking soldiers.

The devil realm, often referred to as the devil Continent, differed from the Mystic Void Continent primarily in resources and the physical appearance of its inhabitants.
