The Story Never Ends

Chapter 96 - Troubles Are Brewing

The devil world,

In a dilapidated mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting on a throne made from bones. Infront of him, there were six peoples standing in two rows where three of them were sitting in each row. Due to the darkness, their faces could not be seen. Only their strong energy could be felt.

"Did you'll finish gathering the intels of all the middle-grade sects?" A hoarse voice came out from the middle-aged man.

"Yes, Emperor." All of them bowed and replied in unison.

"So, anything new?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Everything is the same as before. However, there are three new disciples who have managed to reach the Nascent Soul Stage." One of them replied.

"Oh! It looks like there's nothing to worry about. A newly promoted disciple won't be able to make any difference." The middle-aged man muttered.

Then he said, "I want you'll to start dispatching the troops. I have already received the order from his Majesty."

"Emperor, so whose territory are we assigned to?" One of them asked.

"We have been instructed to deal with the Thunderbolt Sect." The middle-aged looked solemn.

While he was about to continue a dark crow suddenly dived down from the sky. It reached a person in the right row and whispered something.

"Damn, how could it be?" The person cursed loudly and even spat out a mouthful of blood from anger.

Seeing this the middle-aged man questioned, "Jack, did you hear some bad news?"

Jack caught the bird with his right hand and easily crushed it. Then he fell on his knees and begged, "Emperor, please forgive me. I've failed you."

"What?" A very dangerous aura came out from the middle-aged man.

"I just got the news that all of the Devil Commanders under my command have gone missing." Jack felt really scared.

The moment he said this, he felt a strong force gripping his neck. He struggled and tried to free himself but it was futile. He was pulled into the air and then thrown to the wall of the mansion.

"Bang"

The wall broke and he fell to the ground.

Only after this did the middle-aged man's anger cooled down. "Do you know who did this?"

Jack slowly stood up and said, "I don't know. But I will definitely investigate it." He still couldn't believe how they could all go missing in just a few days.

"Humph, you better do it fast. Without Devil Commanders, the devils will only go astray. So, we need them to go to the frontline. But now you don't have anyone to lead your troops. Thus, our mission will only get delayed." The middle-aged man looked at him with anger.

"How about you let me go?" Jack wanted to redeem himself.

"Fool, you will definitely attract the attention of the elders if you go. Now is not the time for this." The middle-aged man scoffed.

Then he produced three brown-colored orbs in his hands and passed them to Jack. Then he seriously said, "This will help the Devil Minions to break through."

"Thank you, Emperor." Jack bowed and clasped his hands.

"However, make sure you find out the reason behind this. It might even be done by an enemy. Who knows?" The middle-aged man was not sure about this.

"This time I won't fail you." Jack was full of confidence.

"Hope so. Now you all can leave. Even though our mission got delayed, make sure you'll be well prepared. I don't want this incident to happen again." The middle-aged set his sights upon Jack.

"We will." They bowed and started leaving.

Seeing this leave, the middle-aged man sighed. "The task is quite dangerous this time. I don't know why his Majesty wants to battle it out against those sects."

"Although I failed my previous task in the outer region, his Majesty didn't bother too much about it. But he looked really serious when giving me this task. I might surely get butchered if I fail this again."

Indeed, this middle-aged man was Conard, one of the Hall Masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Meanwhile, Davion had already reached the territory of the Thunderbolt Sect. Now he was slowly proceeding towards the headquarters while observing the scenery. He was wearing white robes and had Ryland on his shoulders. But Ryland was covered with a piece of black cloth and only two of his heads could be seen. Davion did this to hide the identity of this dragon. If people found that he had such a rare dragon, then it would surely invite trouble.

Even after this, many people were still glancing at him frequently. The girls were even winking at him. "So, troublesome." Davion sighed. It was actually not because of Ryland that people were looking at him but rather he himself. He looked dashing and handsome in his white clothes.. Also seeing a strange beast on his shoulders, people thought that he might be a disciple having a great status in the sect.
