Chapter 727: Spiritual Stone Mine (Part 4)

Normally, he would have avoided causing trouble and agreed to stay behind.

Renshu Chang was about to respond when Amalia interrupted, "Let them come. They’re Gold Core stage Cultivators, not Foundation Building Cultivators. Even if they can’t fight, they should be able to protect themselves."

"Alright then. Remember, don’t cause trouble for the Junior Master Uncles and Martial Aunt. In danger, just look after yourselves," Renshu Chang warned them before heading out with the injured sect members.

"Don’t worry, we won’t be a burden to the Junior Master Uncle and Martial Aunt," Vincent Tan said excitedly.

Ding Huiqing didn’t speak, appearing a bit silent.

He had always known he and Vincent Tan were seen as a burden.

It never bothered him before, but now hearing Renshu Chang’s words, he felt a pang of discomfort.

He suddenly had an urge to grow stronger and not be looked down upon anymore.

Renshu Chang didn’t notice his change and left after giving his instructions.

Amalia glanced at Ding Huiqing.

She wasn’t used to having so many extra people around, but there was no choice; some things had to be adjusted to eventually.

Meanwhile, a group of devils, including those Amalia had tracked, were gathered about ten kilometers away, looking worried.

One of them held a command token.

"What should we do? Should we go ahead?" one of the devils asked, breaking the silence.

Another devil replied, "I’ve heard that when the passage is unstable, it’s very dangerous. There’s a chance we might not come back."

"But if we don’t go, we’ll die outside anyway."

The devil with the command token sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken Aarzostes’s body. It’s turned out to be a hot potato."

"Yeah, but the Night Sorrow City Lord got so angry and took the risk to send a message through the secret realm. At least there’s some advantage, as long as we survive."

The devil quickly handed the command token to another, saying, "Then I’ll let you take this chance."

The other devil immediately threw the token back, "No, you said you would handle Aarzostes’s body. We won’t take any benefits from this. If you want it, keep it."

"I thought it would be when we were leaving. I didn’t expect the Night Sorrow City Lord to be so impatient. Aarzostes’s body is already ruined. Even if we hand it over, the Night Sorrow City Lord might not be able to tell who did it. With over ten days left in the month, even if we find out, will the Night Sorrow City Lord come and kill us?" The young devil said, almost in tears.

Everyone felt a bit sorry for him, but sympathy didn’t mean they were brave enough to take his place.

"I think you should go. The Night Sorrow City Lord is very powerful. Even if you discard Aarzostes’s body now, it’s already too late. It’s better to take the risk than to face certain death later," they said, wanting to save their own lives.

The young devil’s face grew darker.

"There isn’t much time left. Go now. We will ask the Great Emperor to bless you."

The young devil held the command token, but it was made of material that was too strong to break, "I understand."

A few devils followed him to where the passage opened.

After waiting for a few minutes, a black whirlpool appeared in the air, looking like it led to hell.

Stepping into it could mean going to heaven or hell.

The young devil hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked in, his figure swallowed by the black whirlpool.

The other devils were unsure if he had successfully exited or died inside, "Let’s go. I saw some signals gathering earlier. Something must be happening over there. We should check it out; maybe we can find something useful."

Amalia, Kenny Lin, and the others arrived to find that devils and humans were already fighting.

The battle between humans and devil’s geniuses was very fierce.

The nearby demonic beasts kept their distance, finding a spot to watch quietly.

Soon, the devil named Nith was sent flying by Ruma Yang from the Eternal One Sect.

"A devil’s genius and this is all they’re worth," Ruma Yang sneered at the bleeding Nith and then contemptuously glanced at the other devils.

"How embarrassing. It took so long to defeat a wounded devil. What’s there to be proud of? I’ve killed several without boasting," Kenny Lin commented with a click of his tongue.

"Shut up," Amalia said with a cold glare.

Kenny Lin immediately fell silent, even his usual taunts were stopped.

"If Nith hadn’t been injured, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!" A companion of Nith angrily said, "You humans are only showing off because Nith is hurt."

Ruma Yang’s face darkened as he glared at them with killing intent, "I’ll deal with you all after I’ve finished with him."

Nith companions immediately rush over to help him.

However, he was soon engaged by Vijaya Tao and others from the Eternal One Sect.

"Lord Izzonel, Lord Gagmuth, please help Nith. He was severely injured while dealing with the Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts on the cliff," Nith’s companions pleaded urgently.

Even though devils sometimes fought among themselves, they were more united in front of humans.

If Nith died, they would also be in a tough spot.

Izzonel and Gagmuth didn’t hesitate and quickly moved toward the fight.

"Do you think I’m a corpse?" Kailash Ren, holding a white snow sword, blocked Gagmuth’s way with a cold expression.

"Move aside, woman, or I’ll kill you!" Gagmuth said sternly.

Kailash Ren’s face was as cold as frost, "That depends on whether you have the ability to decide who dies first."

Gagmuth glanced at Izzonel and saw that he was also being blocked by Hari Liu from the Artifact Refining Valley.

Ruma Yang advanced directly to Nith and attacked him relentlessly.

Nith who is still badly injured, struggled to defend the attack.

He was usually an attacker but was now forced into defense.

Kenny Lin narrowed his eyes.

If Nith died, it would only be a matter of time before the humans took the spiritual stone mine.

His expression shifted slightly as he looked in a certain direction.

"More devils are coming," Amalia said quietly.
