Chapter 715: Night Sorrow City Movement (Part 2)

However, back then, one of them was only at the Foundation Building stage, and the other was just at the early Golden Core stage.

They seemed to have average talent.

But who could have guessed that in just a few months, their cultivation levels would skyrocket, advancing to two or three stages?

Hardly anyone would believe it.

"Whether the Green Lotus Sect has people or not, your Eternal One Sect should know best," Som Wang replied, his expression unchanged, with a hint of meaning in his words.

Yokhunan Shao’s face darkened, understanding the implication.

Although the Eternal One Sect and Green Lotus Sect are both top sects on the Mystic Void Continent and are highly regarded by many cultivators, in terms of overall strength, the Eternal One Sect is actually inferior to the Green Lotus Sect.

That’s why, to some, the Eternal One Sect has another nickname: "Eternal Number Two."

This not only reflects the Eternal One Sect’s weaker strength but also the fact that whenever the two sects participate in joint activities, the Eternal One Sect always comes second to the Green Lotus Sect.

"So confident, huh? Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Yokhunan Shao asked through gritted teeth.

Som Wang chuckled, "Another bet? Hasn’t the Eternal One Sect lost enough? Elder Shao, have you forgotten how the nickname ’Eternal Number Two’ came about?"

Instead of getting angry, Yokhunan Shao laughed, "What, are you afraid? Afraid that this time, the Eternal One Sect might surpass you?"

Som Wang wasn’t provoked by Yokhunan Shao’s words.

Instead, he smiled meaningfully and said, "If you really want to bet, I’ll play along, but just remember, sometimes bringing shame upon yourself isn’t a good thing."

Yokhunan Shao snorted, "We’ll see who ends up shamed."

Som Wang was about to reply when someone flew over from a distance.

Recognizing the person as a disciple stationed at Obsidian City from the Green Lotus Sect, he immediately called him over.

"Elder Wang," the disciple greeted him with a respectful bow before leaning in to whisper something to Som Wang.

After hearing the disciple’s message, Som Wang frowned, "Is that really what Cai Jianjun said?"

"It’s true. To be cautious, Elder Cai has already called back all the disciples active around Night Sorrow City. He also said there’s a strong chance that the city lord of Night Sorrow City might come over."

Som Wang’s voice turned cold, "Would the city lord of Night Sorrow City really dare break the agreement between humans and devils just for his son?"

"It’s not impossible," the disciple whispered back.

Hearing this, Som Wang furrowed his brows, "In that case, we should notify the sect and have them send reinforcements."

The disciple was surprised, "Is it really necessary to notify the sect?"

"It depends on the situation," Som Wang said, his gaze turning serious.

If Aarzostes had indeed been killed by a disciple of the Green Lotus Sect, the City Lord of Night Sorrow City might take action against us.

Even if it wasn’t our disciple who did it, this matter won’t be easily resolved.

Among the disciples this time there are Master Lian and Senior Tian Wuya’s disciples.

If something happens to them because the city lord of Night Sorrow City goes mad, it’ll be a huge problem.

Som Wang felt it was best to prepare for the worst.

Som Wang was the first to receive this information, but soon other sects and forces were also informed.

Yokhunan Shao turned around to leave without mentioning the competition with the Green Lotus Sect about who killed more devils.

If Aarzostes died at the hands of the Eternal One Sect’s disciples, they’d have to worry about the city lord of Night Sorrow City.

No one would care about a devil-killing contest then.

In order to find out what Night Sorrow City was planning, various forces sent people to investigate.

They discovered that Night Sorrow City had increased its bounties, mainly targeting cultivators from major sects.

This confirmed that the city lord’s only son had indeed died in the Double Cavern Secret Realm.

Otherwise, Night Sorrow City wouldn’t be reacting so strongly.

"I heard the city lord of Night Sorrow City promised a lot of benefits to get seven spots in the secret realm, but even with six leader-level devils, they couldn’t keep his son safe."

"Six leader-level devils? Only the Green Lotus Sect and the Eternal One Sect could handle such a lineup. Could it be that one of these two sects is responsible?"

Two cultivators from Beast Tamer Valley and the Nine Cauldron Sect casually discussed the situation, both of them adopting an indifferent attitude.

"Who says you need a lot of people to kill six leader-level devils? If your Beast Tamer Valley and Nine Cauldron Sect disciples can’t do it, my disciples from Artifact Refining Valley certainly can," Chayan Zeng said arrogantly, overhearing their conversation.

"Artifact Refining Valley disciples may be good at refining artifacts, but when it comes to killing that many leader-level devils, Beast Tamer Valley disciples are more likely to succeed," the cultivator from Beast Tamer Valley named Milan Gong, said dismissively.

"With those uncontrollable beasts?" Chayan Zeng mocked.

Milan Gong’s face darkened, "Even if they’re hard to control, they can still crush your Artifact Refining Valley disciples without a problem."

Beast Tamer Valley disciples mainly specialized in beast taming, using monsters as their primary means of attack.

This reduced their reliance on artifacts, so they rarely needed to ask anything from Artifact Refining Valley, unlike other forces that had to tolerate the Artifact Refining Valley’s bad temper.

"You two should stop arguing. The Night Sorrow City Lord could attack at any time, and this is no joke," a cultivator from the Nine Cauldron Sect warned while shaking his head.

The city lord of a Level 3 Devil City is at least as powerful as a Grand Lord-level Devil, which is equivalent to a Deity Transformation stage human cultivator.

However, among the cultivators present, the strongest was only in the early Out of Body stage.
