Chapter 723: Where’s Erod (Part 2)

But that was impossible.

No matter how arrogant Hari Liu was, he knew he couldn’t eliminate everyone without causing a huge mess, which wasn’t worth it.

"Fine, thirty percent it is. But before that, I have some questions for these devils."

"Go ahead," Ruma Yang agreed, not surprised by his concession.

After all, Eternal One Sect wasn’t some small, weak faction that would be intimidated by Artifact Refining Valley.

They had no choice but to agree.

Hari Liu took a few steps forward, staring at the group of devils led by Nith, "Where is the devil named Erod?"

The devils, led by Nith, had a subtle change in their expressions.

It seemed like these people were here looking for Erod, but wasn’t Erod already dead?

The devils who didn’t know the situation thought the question was just provocation.

They hadn’t expected anyone to ask about Erod.

"Why should we tell you where Erod is?"

The devils are naturally rebellious, so there was no way they’d obediently reveal Erod’s whereabouts.

Besides, they didn’t know where he was.

Ever since they entered the secret realm, they hadn’t seen Erod for days, and no one knew where he had gone.

Hari Liu’s face darkened, "He stole our spiritual veins. Artifact Refining Valley will not let him get away with it."

At this point, he didn’t care if the news about the spiritual vein got out.

As soon as they heard the term "spiritual vein," even Nith’s expression shifted slightly.

Some people entered the Double Caves Secret Realm specifically to find this one.

A spiritual vein is a precious place for cultivation.

If you training in a spiritual vein for one day it’s equivalent to training for a year under normal circumstances.

If it’s a higher-quality spiritual vein, the effects are even better—it can purify the body and enhance physical strength.

But spiritual veins are extremely rare.

In the Mystic Void Continent, spiritual veins are incredibly rare.

Even on the Devil Battlefield, aside from the most dangerous places, secret realms like the Double Caves Secret Realm that was hidden within spatial rifts, are almost the only places where a good quality spiritual vein might be found.

For tens of thousands of years, the visible spiritual veins were either guarded by powerful demonic beasts in dangerous locations or had already been taken by powerful beings.

Humans on Mystic Void Continent don’t have as high a need for spiritual veins as devils do because their natural reserves are greater.

If they had known about the spiritual vein in the Double Caves Secret Realm earlier, they wouldn’t have waited until now to act.

"How could Erod possibly have a spiritual vein!" one of the devils objected.

"Yeah, Erod doesn’t have the ability to take an entire spiritual vein. This human is probably lying to us, trying to make us fight each other."

One devil quickly pointed out that, just like among human cultivators, relationships among devils are not that strong.

When there’s a conflict of interest, even brothers will settle accounts clearly.

"Nith, wasn’t Erod already dead? Or are you saying he might still be alive, hiding the spiritual vein and just making us think he’s dead, planning to come out when the secret realm passage reopens?" another devil near Nith whispered.

They were filled with doubts.

Nith’s expression changed slightly, but another devil quickly voiced an opposing opinion.

"But the smell was so strong at the time, it’s impossible for Erod to still be alive."

"We didn’t see Erod’s body. It’s better to be cautious."

The devil’s eyes were flickered with greed.

If Erod really had the spiritual vein, that would be good.

"Erod is dead," Nith suddenly declared.

The other two devils were stunned for a moment before understanding Nith’s meaning.

They all silently agreed—whether Erod was dead or not, they would tell others he was.

Nith didn’t bother to hide his voice, so Hari Liu, standing across from him, heard everything.

"That’s impossible. If he’s dead, why wasn’t his body found in the ravine? And how do you know he’s dead?" Hari Liu didn’t believe him.

"Whether you believe it or not, that’s your problem. Don’t think we’re afraid of you," Nith replied, a powerful aura suddenly emanating from him.

He might be seriously injured, but that didn’t mean he was powerless.

Hari Liu’s face darkened.

He didn’t believe a single word the devils said.

"Brother Liu, if we join forces and kill these devils, we can go after that devil called Erod and help you get your spiritual vein back. The secret realm isn’t that big—unless he’s hiding on the cliff, there’s no way he can’t be found."

Ruma Yang’s eyes gleamed as he spoke.

Hari Liu knew what he was thinking but didn’t pay him much attention.

However, his words gave him an idea.

They had been searching for so long and still couldn’t find Erod.

Maybe he really was hiding on the cliff.

"The matter of the spiritual vein doesn’t need your concern. We’ll find him ourselves," Hari Liu said.

"Who’s there?" Nith’s face suddenly changed, his sharp gaze turning toward a certain direction.

Someone else was there?

Hari Liu and Ruma Yang felt a bit annoyed that they hadn’t noticed anyone nearby before the devils did.

"Come out, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Moments later, a group of people emerged from the dense bushes, wearing white and pink robes—the attire of the Divine Maiden Sect.

Another group of human cultivators had arrived.

Before the devils could react, Hari Liu and Ruma Yang’s faces had already darkened.

Kailash Ren? Why was she here too?

Another faction joining in wasn’t good news for them.

It meant that they’d have to share the resources they gathered, leaving them with much less.

"It’s so lively here. Why not let me join in?" Kailash Ren who is dressed in white robes, spoke with a calm tone that wasn’t like asking for permission.

Since she had already seen everything, her sect was going to participate—simple as that.
