Chapter 616: The City Lord Of Aeropolis City (Part 3)

His wounds were still healing, and he had no plans to return to the battlefield anytime soon.

The elder from the Heavenly Dominion Sect was correct in his assessment.

The Devils had already dispatched investigators because they suspected it might have been a human cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage who had acted.

This gave them a reason to question humans and even launch attacks on human cities.

Both Level 9 and Level 8 Devil cities were subordinate to Level 7 ones.

If something happened to a city under their jurisdiction or if a city was destroyed, it was a serious matter that required investigation.

However, since everyone believed the culprit was at least a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Devil investigations focused in that direction.

As a result, several days passed without anyone discovering the true perpetrator.

Over the next two days, Amalia had already gathered the heads of one thousand warrior-level Devils and she was only lacking three heads of leader-level Devils.

After leaving the small valley, she and Kenny Lin avoided both New Moon City and Sunshadow City, heading instead to the territories of other Level 9 Devil cities.

At first, Amalia had taken the lead in luring out the leader-level Devils in the city.

However, these Devils, unimpressed by a Foundation Building human cultivator, sent out warrior-level Devils each time.

They managed to gather enough warrior-level Devil heads but were still short of leader-level Devil heads.

In the end, Amalia had to have Kenny Lin to step in.

As soon as he took action, he immediately attracted an early leader-level Devil.

On their second attempt, Kenny Lin intervened once more.

Surprisingly, this time he managed to lure two leader-level Devils over.

After a flurry of activity, Amalia finally killed them.

In order to cover their tracks and avoid detection for targeting leader-level Devils, Amalia also collected their bodies, creating the possibility that they had simply gone missing.

Afterward, they moved their position once again.

On the Devil battlefield, the Level 9 Devil cities were the most numerous.

"We’re still short of three heads, and we only have a few days left until the end of the month," Amalia calculated.

They had eight days remaining, but they needed to allocate four days for the return journey, leaving them effectively with only four days.

The last two leader-level Devils, Kenny Lin deliberately provoked the Devils by bringing two over.

There were successes and failures.

Some Devils were cautious, while others were more dismissive.

The latter were usually harder to lure out, and even if they were, they often became suspicious midway and retreated back to their cities.

For instance, the eighth leader-level Devil that Kenny Lin lured out, after being provoked by him without a fight and led him deeper.

He suspected it was a trap, so he halted and prepared to return.

After dealing with this Devil, they were left with just one leader-level Devil to go.

Amalia gritted her teeth and decided to take care of this one first.

The aftermath of their battles alerted the City Lord of Aeropolis City which was several miles away from their location.

"Let’s finish this quickly. The City Lord of the Devils City is on his way here," Kenny Lin immediately informed Amalia upon noticing it.

Amalia gave him a reassuring look.

During this period of time, she continuously used the Eight Gods Blades technique and became adept and skillful in its execution.

After slaying the Devil, they swiftly retrieved the body and made their escape.

By the time the City Lord of Aeropolis City arrived, all that remained were traces of a fierce battle.

Not a single person or body was in sight.

"Damn it!"

Exclaimed the City Lord of Aeropolis City.

He was enraged.

With a single palm strike, he flattened a half-shorn small mountain into a flat ground.

"We’re just two leader-level Devils away from finishing this. I have an idea."

Amalia who decapitated the Devil’s head and discarded the useless corpse, was suddenly struck by inspiration.

"What idea?" Kenny Lin asked while absorbing the spiritual brilliance from the Devil’s weapon as he spoke.

"Similar to our initial strategy, lure out the City Lord of the Level 9 city. This time, we won’t engage head-on. You’ll go in for the plunder. Take as much as you can, and once the Devil City Lord shows up, you retreat. What do you think?"

Amalia’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Who will lure away the city lord?" Kenny Lin inquired.

"Just like today, first lure out one leader-level Devil. Then create energy fluctuations from the battle to draw out the city lord. Once he’s out, you sneak back in. How does that sound?" Amalia grinned, "This method might not work on other city lords, but it should work on the City Lord of Aeropolis City."

Kenny Lin chuckled, "Sounds like a good plan. Let’s give it a try."

Amalia nodded her head, "That’s settled then. We’ll rest for a day and strike again at 6 PM tomorrow evening."

At 6 PM the next afternoon on the Devil battlefield, the sun had already set.

The battlefield was engulfed in darkness, which was ideal for their operation.

After entering the Devil battlefield, their fortunes rose and fell repeatedly.

However, due to Kenny Lin’s consumption of Yin-Yang Pearls, their resources diminished greatly along the way.

In order to restore their spiritual power, they also used many pills and spirit stones.

Amalia was unable to calculate how many cycles her spiritual power had completed.

She only knew that in a few days, she should be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Building, perhaps even tonight.

The waiting time was dragging on, and the time for cultivation passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the sun set.

Aeropolis City.

Even the low-level Devils that were guarding the gate dared not breathe heavily.

They’re looking at Commander Dregodan with awe in their eyes.

Since yesterday, after Commander Kirk chased after a human cultivator and hadn’t returned yet, Commander Dregodan’s mood had been consistently bad.
