Chapter 873: Pixiu’s Escape
He heard a noise and thought Osmos had found those two disciples from the Green Lotus Sect. He rushed over, only to encounter the rampaging Dalamadur, which had already slaughtered all his devil subordinates.
Seeing his lord appear, Rehimes immediately showed a look of relief, sprinting towards him. However, before he could reach safety, a sudden force engulfed him, consuming him entirely.
Watching his subordinate get killed right before his eyes, the Monarch-level devil’s gaze turned icy as he locked eyes with Dalamadur.
After finishing its slaughter, Dalamadur noticed the devil across from him and quickly sensed that this opponent’s aura was nearly equal to his own. Coldly, he demanded, "Hand over Pixiu!"
"You think Pixiu is in our hands? Is that why you killed my subordinate?" The Monarch-level devil narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint flickering within them.
"So what if it is? Do you want to avenge your subordinate? You’re not worthy," Dalamadur arrogantly replied.
The Monarch-level devil suppressed his rising fury. He didn’t want to complicate matters, or he would have already slain this demonic beast on the spot. Ever since he became a Monarch-level powerhouse, he hadn’t been provoked or belittled in such a manner.
"Pixiu isn’t with me. If you insist on making an enemy of me and disrupting my plans, mark my words, I will gather other Monarch-level devils and destroy your Dalamadur Canyon!"
With that bold statement, the Monarch-level devil unleashed a terrifying pressure, creating a whirlwind so fierce that the few remaining trees were torn to shreds.
Sensing the sudden surge of killing intent and overwhelming force from his opponent, Dalamadur, who hadn’t intended to fight to the death, narrowed his green eyes.
"How can you guarantee that Pixiu isn’t with you? The humans didn’t say so."
"The humans would love nothing more than for you and me to fight each other to death," the Monarch-level devil sneered. "That’s basic logic, but it seems it was too difficult for a demonic beast like you to understand."
Dalamadur gritted his fangs. Realizing he had been tricked, he began to suspect that Pixiu might indeed not be with these devils.
However, he couldn’t imagine that the humans didn’t know the consequences of angering him, and in that situation, he doubted they would dare lie.
"If Pixiu were in my hands, those humans would have already come to steal it. They wouldn’t be so quiet right now," the Monarch-level devil said impatiently, seeing Dalamadur still hesitating.
"Fine, but if you’re lying to me, even if I can’t kill you, I will slaughter all your subordinates!" Dalamadur threatened. Not wanting to start a fight, it backed down after a moment and then left.
The Monarch-level devil stood in place, his expression cold and calculating. Why had the humans suddenly tricked this demonic beast into attacking them? Could they have already discovered his true plan?
Meanwhile, after Osmos was killed by Dalamadur, Taejin Yun noticed that the Gu King was responding again.
Though unsure of what had happened, he assumed it was just a brief malfunction of the Gu King, which had actually worked in his favor. Now, the scent he sensed from the strange elixir was likely that of the true Pixiu.
Without hesitation, he led the group in the direction he believed was correct, continuously adjusting their course until they found what they thought was the right path.
In the opposite direction, Amalia and her two companions, along with three Pixiu, quickly took advantage of the chaos and left Silent Echo Valley.
They had to take a wide detour through the depths of the ridge, as the straight and even slightly curved paths were occupied by either devils, humans, or demonic beasts.
They also faintly sensed the commotion caused by Dalamadur, recognizing the aura of their sworn enemy. Although Zhar’khaen and the others longed for revenge, they knew they weren’t strong enough yet and chose to endure for now.
"Dammit, one day, I swear I’ll kill that bastard Dalamadur!" Zhar’khaen vowed.
It wasn’t just Dalamadur’s clan that wanted to exterminate Pixiu race. The members of Pixiu clan also sought to kill these traitors who had betrayed their masters.
But the harsh reality was that their strength was no longer what it once was. The once-mighty Pixiu clan, which had numbered in the tens of thousands and could summon storms in ancient times, had dwindled to just four remaining members, a stark reminder of the rise and fall of an entire race.
"You don’t have the Breath Pearls now, so you should leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, Dalamadur will sense your aura at any moment," Amalia advised.
"Thank you. After we part this time, if fate allows, we will meet again to express our gratitude properly," said Pixiu. "One more thing: keep the Breath Pearls a secret. Many people are coveted such treasures."
Amalia nodded her head slightly. "We’ll be careful. This is farewell, then."
"Take care."
After parting ways with the three Pixiu, Amalia and Kenny Lin left first.
It wasn’t until their figures disappeared from sight that the three Pixiu, along with Wealth, hurried towards the outskirts.
"By the way, we forgot to ask which sect they’re from," Zhar’khaen suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing an important detail.
Gor’kan and Vryss’laar were speechless: "..."
"Do you mean you never asked them which sect they belong to?" Gor’kan was furious at Zhar’khaen’s carelessness. He had assumed Zhar’khaen had already asked, so he hadn’t bothered. Zhar’khaen awkwardly laughed, "I really forgot. After everything that happened, especially finding new members of our clan, it slipped my mind. Besides, both of you didn’t think to ask about it either, did you?" He muttered under his breath.
Gor’kan and Vryss’laar were about to reprimand him further, but after hearing his last remark, they exchanged a glance, and in an instant, both of them exploded in rage, beating him up thoroughly. Moments later, Zhar’khaen was left bruised and swollen, clutching his face. This was too much—they had ganged up on him!
