Chapter 620: Mission Complete (Part 3)

"But some devils are indeed wealthy, especially the offspring of great leader-level devils. They certainly don’t lack resources."

"Now we’re the ones who are being hunted down."

"Sunshadow City was destroyed, and the devils can’t find the culprit. Unable to determine the revenge target, they’re looking for other human cultivators."

"Sigh."

Seeing that everyone was no longer fixated on whether the Nascent Soul cultivator was an Artificer from Artificer Valley, Georgio Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother, why did you refute them just now? I think it’s very likely that the cultivator is from Artificer Valley," his junior brother said.

Georgio Cao replied, "It might be likely, but it’s still just a possibility."

"But I heard that Uncle Master Zhu also entered the devil battlefield recently to find a material that can only be found there. It could very well be him," his junior insisted.

If there weren’t a Nascent Soul cultivator from Artificer Valley in the devil battlefield, he wouldn’t have thought it was someone from their valley.

"The devil battlefield is huge. It’s not that easy to run into each other."

Georgio Cao had considered that it might be Uncle Master Zhu, but he wasn’t sure.

As he said, the devil battlefield was vast, and they might not have entered through the same entrance, making an encounter even less likely.

"Alright, let’s drop this topic for now. Don’t go around saying it was someone from Artificer Valley, understood?"

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Everyone was smart enough to only discuss this among themselves.

If word got out, it wouldn’t just be their reputation at stake but also Artificer Valley’s.

"Elder Cai, why haven’t Junior Master Uncle and Junior Sister Amalia returned yet? It’s almost been a month. Should I go and look for them?" Renshu Chang asked.

He had been standing nearby, listening to the chatter.

With even leader-level and great leader-level devils showing up, his worry had only increased.

Unable to bear it any longer, he sought out Cai Jianjun.

"Your Junior Master Uncle is at the Golden Core stage. Even if he encounters late-stage or peak leader-level devils, he can escape if he can’t win. As for great leader-level devils, unless they go deep into the battlefield, the chances of running into them are nearly zero. There’s nothing to worry about," Cai Jianjun reassured him.

After a pause, he added, "Besides, what do you mean by almost a month? They’ve only been on the battlefield for half a month. It’s too early to be this worried."

"Elder Cai, that’s how it was before. Now, because of the Sunshadow City incident, I heard that the higher-ups of the Level 7 devil city have already dispatched great leader-level devils, and they’re searching for the Nascent Soul cultivator in the southern battlefield," Renshu Chang explained with a sigh, "Maybe we shouldn’t have let Junior Master Uncle and Junior Sister Amalia to go to the southern battlefield."

"You’re overthinking this out of concern," Cai Jianjun shook his head.

He had never realized his junior niece had such a tendency to worry like a mother.

"I wish it were just overthinking. I just hope nothing happens to Junior Master Uncle and Junior Sister Amalia," Renshu Chang said.

Cai Jianjun was puzzled, "Renshu Chang, are you very close with your Junior Master Uncle and Amalia?"

Renshu Chang was taken aback, not quite understanding why Elder Cai was asking this.

"Why do you seem particularly concerned about them? Even though Kenny Lin is your Junior Master Uncle, he hasn’t been here long, has he?" Cai Jianjun had considered that Renshu Chang might feel some resentment since his nominal Junior Master Uncle’s talent wasn’t as great as his.

Renshu Chang smiled awkwardly, "Because he is my Junior Master Uncle..."

And also, Junior Sister Amalia might be a disciple of Senior Tian Wuya, but he couldn’t say that out loud.

Cai Jianjun noticed that he seemed to be hiding something, but since he didn’t want to reveal it, he didn’t press the matter.

"What did you mean by almost a month?" he asked.

"Well, Junior Sister Amalia made a bet with someone..." Renshu Chang said nervously, fearing Cai Jianjun might ask more, but he didn’t.

"If you’re really worried about them, you can go. But if there’s a one-month deadline, they should be back soon. If you leave now, you might miss them," Cai Jianjun suggested.

Renshu Chang was afraid of this exact scenario, "Then I’ll wait a little bit longer. If they don’t return in two days, I’ll..."

"Renshu Chang, Junior Master Uncle, and Amalia have returned!"

A junior brother ran in excitedly.

"Elder Cai, I’ll go now," Renshu Chang said eagerly.

He wanted to rush out immediately, but years of training held him back.

He looked at Cai Jianjun expectantly.

Cai Jianjun sighed and waved him off, "Go on then."

"Thank you, Elder Cai."

Renshu Chang immediately ran after the junior brother.

At the city gate, Renshu Chang saw Kenny Lin and Amalia walking in.

Their clothes, dark in color, didn’t seem too dirty from a distance, but up close, he could smell the strong scent of blood and see the dried bloodstains on their garments.

"Junior Master Uncle, Junior Sister Amalia, you’re finally back!"

Seeing they were unharmed, Renshu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Amalia nodded her head to him, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Chang."

Renshu Chang, feeling relieved, asked cautiously, "Did you complete your mission?"

Amalia nodded again and smiled, "Yes, we did. After killing Dregodan, we needed one more leader-level devil. While retreating, we kept searching. On the last day, we finally found a wild one. After killing it, we gathered everything we needed and rushed back to Obsidian City."

Despite being prepared, Renshu Chang was still shocked by her words.

It took him a moment to close his slightly open mouth, and said, "Really? Did you really complete it? Ten leader-level devils?"

Amalia nodded her head patiently, "Yes, I really completed it. The process was very arduous."

Indeed, it had been challenging.
