Chapter 1240: The New Third-Ranked Devil General

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Was the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan strong?

He naturally was strong. If not, how could be become the third-ranked general?

However, he actually disintegrated into dust with a single strike from Qin Wentian, easily knocked down from his divine pedestal.

Such a scene caused everyone in the devil palace to fall silent as they fixed their attention onto Qin Wentian.

Right now, Qin Wentian walked to the crumbling stairway, floating calmly above it. The overwhelming aura which radiated from him earlier was now retracted. Despite so, although he was just merely standing there, he exuded a sense of imposingness.

Juyu’s heart was filled with boundless waves. She had thought that Qin Wentian might be very powerful, but she didn’t dare to imagine that he would be so powerful to the extent where he could insta-kill the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan. In that case, his actions at the devil ranking battle back then truly could be considered low-profile.

She still remembered Qin Wentian asking her if she needed his help to act against some of the devil generals. At that time, she rejected it as she was very clear of her limited strength. She didn’t feel that Qin Wentian would be strong enough to fight devil generals although he had no problems facing off against protectors. However at this moment, she knew how heavy the weightage of Qin Wentian’s words were then. If she had nodded her head in agreement, she truly didn’t know what would have happened back then.

Seems like the interference from the first devil general, as well as their attitudes towards her injuries, have completely enraged Qin Wentian, which led to this blood-filled battle.

For those subordinates who betrayed Juyu back then, they were now so frightened that they were trembling badly, with countenances as pale as paper. Back then when Qin Wentian brought Juyu away from the battlefield, they all betrayed her with a single sentence from Zong Yan.

However right now, Qin Wentian brought Juyu here and vanquished the third devil general directly. His methods were the same as the first and second devil general back then when they awed everyone with their strength, choosing to massacre the entire devil palace they were about to take over.

"We pay our respects to devil general." It was unknown who first came to their senses. As the first call sounded all, the hearts of everyone here trembled as they echoed.

That’s right, it was like they have forgotten that from now onwards, Qin Wentian, would be the third-ranked devil general.

"We pay our respects to devil general." Voices rang out one after another.

"We pay our respects to devil general."

Gradually, these voices became a tidal wave, ringing throughout the entire palace. In fact, this tidal wave of sound was so great that it began spreading to the other palaces.

At this instant, everyone was bowing, staring at the young man in the air as though he was a divinity.

From now onwards, he, is the third-ranked devil general.

As for the two guards guarding the entrance, they were so frightened that their faces went completely pale. They were now kneeling on the ground, staring at the events in the devil palace. At this moment, they naturally understood that they were wrong, they were absurdly wrong.

The figure that entered the palace, was none other than the new third-ranked devil general. action

Qin Wentian surveyed his surroundings, His calm eyes made everyone feel a supreme imposingness within. Nobody dared to meet his gaze and as for those who acted against Qin Wentian earlier, all of them felt their hearts shaking from fear. At this moment, blood dyed the ground red, an extremely shocking sight.

Right now, nobody doubted in the slightest that as long as Qin Wentian willed it, the entire palace would be bathed in blood.

"Juyu." Qin Wentian didn’t stare at the others, but focused on Juyu instead.

"I’m here." Juyu spoke out, she already got into her character. She wasn’t a devil general and was Qin Wentian’s protector instead.

"Deal with these traitors as you wish. Everything next will be handed over for you to deal with." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu.

"Yes general." Juyu nodded. After that, she only saw Qin Wentian turning around, and heading into the palace. Everywhere he passed by, the eyes of those who saw him were all filled with reverence and fear.

The new third-ranked general killed the previous one with a single strike. Clearly, his strength was much greater in comparison.

Zong Yan wasn’t able to defeat the second-ranked devil general but maybe, Qin Wentian could accomplish that. In the future, this devil palace might become the residence for the second-ranked devil general.

When Qin Wentian entered the majestic hall, he could see powerful devil weapons placed here. These were all treasures of Zong Yan, and right ahead, a devil throne could also be seen.

Behind the devil throne, a door of darkness was present. Qin Wentian opened it up and saw many collections there. Some of them were the personal stuff of Zong Yan, and some were inheritances such as powerful devil-path techniques and arts. As long as one became the devil general, he or she would be able to flip through everything freely to cultivate.

Drawing in a deep breath, Qin Wentian steadied his aura. Although that battle earlier ended extremely swiftly, that incomparably tyrannical strike he unleashed at the end naturally consumed astronomical amounts of his energy. That was the fusion technique of the supreme greater demon arts recorded in his ancient treasured cauldron, and was further boosted by the augmentation of God’s Hand, in addition to being powered up by a trace of immortal-king might. It was only normal for such an overwhelming power to destroy Zong Yan in an instant.

Even if it was the Huang Shatian back then, he would be killed or at the very least heavily injured from this.

As for the trace of immortal-king might as well as his body of laws, Qin Wentian had actually already comprehended them during the last dao lecture in the sacred academy. At that time, he had just entered the seventh-level of immortal-foundation.

Qin Wentian walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the innate techniques and arts recorded here. Although he was a cultivator from the immortal realms and cultivates in immortal energy, there was still a connection between immortal and devil arts. He could learn from the principles of each, despite the attribute energies being different. He was now flipping through the records to see if there was anything he could learn from them.

As for truly cultivating these devil arts, there was naturally no need to. The innate techniques and cultivation arts of Qin Wentian was already extremely powerful. He had the secret art God’s Hand, Art of Truth, as well as the refinement from the mirror-like space in the second-level of the Sky Connecting Realm, all of his skills have been refined to near perfection. Just the collection of a mere devil general couldn’t enter his eyes at all.

However, Qin Wentian still flipped through each seriously. On the path of immortals and devils, the ideas behind each path might be able to reaffirm the other. It would not be detrimental to him in anyway if he gained more knowledge.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps drifting over echoed out. After Juyu arranged everything, she walked over and stood below the devil palace.

"Come on in, there’s no need to be so polite." Qin Wentian’s voice rang out. Only then did Juyu entered, arriving before Qin Wentian.

"The innate techniques and cultivation arts here should be stronger compared to the ones you are currently training in, right?" Qin Wentian glanced up and asked.

"These are the collections of the third-ranked devil palace, they are naturally much more powerful compared to the ones I used to have." Juyu nodded.

"From now onwards, all of them are yours. There’s no need to seek my approval you can come here anytime you want to." Qin Wentian smiled at her. His words caused Juyu’s gaze to freeze, staring at Qin Wentian. However, she couldn’t see through him. Qin Wentian was immeasurably deep, what sort of person was he exactly?

Earlier, that incomparably tyrannical Qin Wentian actually caused reverence to bloom in her heart. But right now, he seemed as gentle as spring wind.

The same person was actually so different when in combat. This, most probably was his most charismatic side.

His enemies would have to endure the tyrannical flames of his anger while his friends would be able to enjoy that gentle smile that seemed akin to the spring wind.

"Although I’m the devil general, everything here shall fall to you to govern. In addition, I need you to do a task for me." Qin Wentian spoke.

"Sure." Juyu nodded. Seems like her decision wasn’t wrong. Following Qin Wentian as a protector was much more beneficial compared to her being the last-ranked general. She has more authority now, Qin Wentian handed everything to her. Other than the name, there was actually no difference between her and the third-ranked devil general.

"I will pass you the information using my immortal sense." Qin Wentian spoke. After which, a strand of his immortal sense entered Juyu’s consciousness. "Have you remembered the faces of these hundred people?"

"Mhm." Juyu nodded.

"Use the influence of the devil sect on the island to search for them. Once you have found them, tell them to come to the Blackstone Devil Sect to meet me. Just tell them Qin Wentian is waiting and they will understand." Qin Wentian commanded. He then continued, "Next, remember these another hundred faces."

After which, he showed Juyu the faces of the enemy participants for the adjudication battle. "If you encounter any of these, do not make a move recklessly. Come back and report to me."

"Yes, I will do my best to accomplish this matter." Juyu nodded.

This was the reason why he wanted to become a devil general here in the Blackstone Devil Sect. There was a limit to the strength of an individual. If he wanted to search through the people on this devil island, he would have no choice but to depend on an external source of aid.

The adjudication battle had the location set on the Myriad Devil Islands. Regardless of the methods used, victory was everything. This wasn’t a simple clash between both sides to see whose strength is stronger.

...

The incident of the third-ranked devil palace soon circulated around the Blackstone Devil Sect, first to the Western Palaces before to the other three great directions.

In the devil palace Lu Xuejia was in, a figure proceeded on in panic, speeding towards the entrance of her throne room.

"Requesting an audience with the devil general." The voice of that person trembled. After that a voice rang out from within, "Is there any news?"

"Yes general." That person replied. After that, in the airspace above the stairway, the beautiful Lu Xuejia appeared. She glanced down and spoke in a cold voice, "Your state of heart seemed to be shaking. Tell me, what happened?"

That person bowed, not daring to meet Lu Xuejia’s eyes. He then spoke, "Reporting to general, the last-ranked devil general Qin Wentian and his protector Juyu, headed over to the third-ranked devil general palace and challenged the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan."

"Is he courting death?" Lu Xuejia’s eyes flashed, staring into the distance.

The person below trembled even more intensely when he heard her words. He then continued, "Qin Wentian massacred most of the forces under the third-ranked devil general, causing rivers of blood to flow. The third-ranked devil general Zong Yan fell to his hands, and Qin Wentian has succeeded his position, becoming the new third-ranked devil general."

"RUMBLE!" An extremely cold intent erupted forth from Lu Xuejia, as her face turned pale. Even her body was shuddering slightly.

"Say it again?" Lu Xuejia’s voice wavered.

"Qin Wentian has slain Zong Yan, becoming the third-ranked devil general." That person reiterated. Lu Xuejia’s entire body was trembling, as though she couldn’t believe what she just heard.

Qin Wentian was once her protector.

Not only Lu Xuejia found this hard to believe, the entire Blackstone Devil Sect, when all the devil generals in the different palaces heard this news, their hearts were all trembling with shock. A storm was going to sweep through the entire Blackstone Devil Sect!
