Chapter 1244: Battle Against the First Devil General

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The position of the first devil general was set in stone. There never has been someone who could threaten his position at all. Naturally, he wouldn’t feel unhappy towards anyone.

It has been extremely long since anyone heard of the first devil general disliking someone. Right now, he actually had a conflict with the third-ranked devil general? Most probably, a storm would soon occur in the devil sect.

The conflict between first devil general and the new third-ranked devil general, stirring the hearts of many.

Right now in the third devil palace, Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu, ”The first devil general was unhappy towards me. But how would the news have circulated out?”

Qin Wentian didn’t believe that a character like the first devil general would go all his way out to spread this news, that he was unhappy with Qin Wentian.

”Naturally, there must be someone behind the scenes spreading the news, wanting to intensify the conflict between you two, leading to a confrontation.” Juyu spoke.

”In that case, other than the third princess, who else would there be?” A teasing smile appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. It was highly possible to be the third princess. After all, this was her motive. But then again, the second and fourth-ranked devil generals had a possibility of being the one too.

”Mhm, there’s someone here?” At this moment, Qin Wentian turned his gaze outside only to hear a guard reporting, ”General sir, there’s someone from the first devil general’s palace here to invite you for a banquet.”

”Just me alone?” Qin Wentian asked.

”Not sure.” The guard replied.

”Go and ask clearly then,” Qin Wentian spoke. That person turned back and not long after, he returned, ”Reporting to the devil general, the first devil general has invited all the other generals to his residence for the banquet.”

”When?” Qin Wentian asked.

”Now.” That person replied.

”Okay, you can leave.” Qin Wentian spoke. After which he turned to Juyu and spoke, ”Seems like things won’t be so good at the banquet.”

”Will you be going?” Juyu asked.

”Since this is an invitation by the first devil general, I naturally must go. It’s only that if they want me to spar against him at the banquet, and if I win, does that mean that from now on, I will be the first devil general?” Qin Wentian asked.

”Yup. The rankings of general goes by strength. Usually, low-ranking generals wouldn’t have the qualifications to challenge the high-rankings one, unless it’s at the once-a-year devil ranking battle. If not, the situation would be like how you dealt with Zong Yan, directly slaughtering your way through the devil palace. Naturally, if the first devil general takes the initiative to spar with you and if you defeat him, you would naturally replace his position.” Juyu explained.

”However let me remind you that the strength of the first devil general is truly overwhelming, much more so compared to Zong Yan. This time around, he most probably wants to defeat you before the eyes of all the devil generals.”

”Let’s go.” Qin Wentian stood up. The first devil general? Since this is the case, he didn’t mind using the first devil general as his stepping stone for a higher position. The third-ranked devil general didn’t seem to have enough authority

The residence of the first devil general projected a solemn air and was extremely majestic. His troops lined up in an orderly manner, sitting atop war chariots, exuding imposingness and prestige.

The first devil general was the general who sat in his position for the longest. His troops naturally have followed him for the longest time and were obviously the strongest in the sect. There were people who said that even if the first devil general didn’t appear, his army alone was enough to wipe out all the other devil generals.

Qin Wentian and Juyu walked over, they could tell the differences between this army and their own army from the third devil palace. The army of the first devil general was much more outstanding in comparison and one was able to tell this simply from their aura.

As for the banquet, it was set right in the middle of these imposing troops. Many generals have already arrived. At this moment, all of them inclined their heads and stared in the direction of Qin Wentian. Clearly, everyone knew the reason why the first devil general set the banquet, was none other than for Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian and Juyu walked towards the banquet. The first devil general waved his hand and spoke, ”You may take your seat.”

Qin Wentian wasn’t polite, directly sitting down. And as his protector, Juyu stood quietly behind him.

”Today, the reason why we invite all the generals here, is actually because of you.” Beside the the first devil general, a protector clad in golden armor spoke. His aura was extremely sharp. As the protector of the first devil general, his strength was even more terrifying compared to several of the devil generals.

”I’ll listen carefully with respectful attention.” Qin Wentian stared at him. He preferred a more direct method. Regardless of fighting or killing, there was no need to beat around the bush.

”Although competition in our Blackstone Devil Sect is extremely brutal, usually when devil generals fight for position, they would still hold something back, giving the defeated party a chance to live. As for you, you completely massacred the third devil general palace, killing the vast majority of people there and even finishing Zong Yan off. This, to the sect, isn’t a minor loss. Although Zong Yan was defeated by you, he could still have been able to become the fourth-ranked devil general.”

The protector continued, ”Once there’s a precedent like you, in the future all devil generals will look to each each other, going all out to kill each other when seizing a higher position, disrupting the order here. Why did you kill Zong Yan? Do you know your mistake?”

Qin Wentian seriously glanced at the other party. Why did he kill Zong Yan?

Before this in the devil ranking battle, Zong Yan’s protector wanted to kill him. At that time, Zong Yan had already treated him, Qin Wentian, as a dead man. After that when he killed Huang Hanling, Zong Yan actually disregarded everything and broke the rules, wanting to kill Juyu. At that time, who would stand out to speak for Juyu?

”I remember that during the devil ranking battles, my protector Juyu was still a devil general then. Under the situation where she had already admitted defeat, Zong Yan still had the intention to kill her in his heart. When I stepped out to help, the fourth general told me not to interfere in matters regarding generals, and as for you, the first devil general, you even directly obstructed me using your subordinates. At that time, was there anyone who stood out to stop Zong Yan? Did anyone consider the fact about his actions might disrupt the order?”

Qin Wentian retorted. He then continued, ”At that time, from everyone’s perspective, wasn’t it that strength was everything? Since Juyu was weak, she had no qualifications to sit in that position, and hence, she should be killed.”

”Juyu indeed shouldn’t have sat at that rank.” The protector coldly spoke.

”Then what are you farting here for? Since I’m stronger, it merely meant that Zong Yan shouldn’t have sat at the third rank. Why shouldn’t I kill him?”

”How dare you!” That protector raged when he heard Qin Wentian say that his words were akin to a fart.

”You are the impudent one.” Qin Wentian slammed his palm onto a table as his aura gushed out. He coldly stared at the protector, ”Who do you think you are? A protector dares to speak with me, the third-ranked devil general in this manner? Has the first devil general not taught you the rules?”

”You…” That protector pointed at Qin Wentian, his expression turning ashen.

”Retreat.” The first devil general calmly spoke. His protector froze before nodding his head and retreated a few steps back, as his countenance turned unsightly.

”You are right, he didn’t know the rules. However you as the third-ranked devil general, it’s fine that you didn’t bow when you saw me. But you even dared to talk back to me back then. Do you know the rules?” The first devil general coldly stared at Qin Wentian, his eyes as sharp as swords.

”Do devil generals have to bow to each other?” Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the people gather here. All the other generals were looking at him, while laughing coldly in their hearts. Lu Xuejia’s beautiful eyes gleamed, this fellow truly knows no fear, doing whatever he wanted to do. He behaved in this manner too even when facing the first devil general.

”It hasn’t been long since I join the sect and truly, I don’t know many things. Hence, I can only learn. However, when I entered the banquet, I didn’t see any of those lower-rank generals bowing to me. If this is the rules, can I ask the first devil general what the hell is going on?” Qin Wentian asked.

”Seems like you not only have designs on the third-ranked general position, you have designs on mine as well.” The first devil general placed the wine cup in his hands down. His voice was calm but an invisible pressure gushed forth.

All the devil generals placed their cups down quietly. When they saw Qin Wentian’s domineering attitude, they already knew that this battle between the first and third-ranked general was going to happen no matter what.

”Clear a space.” The first general spoke. The other generals all stood up and retreated to both sides. The troops in the surroundings let out a loud shout and all of them soared up into the air in an unified manner, exuding an air of incomparable imposingness.

Even Juyu retreated. Right now, only the first-ranked general and Qin Wentian were still sitting at the banquet.

Outside the residence, a group of figures flew over at this instant. The person in the lead was clad in white and was extremely beautiful, causing all the devil generals to stare at her.

”We pay our respects to princess.” Several of the generals bowed.

”We pay our respects to princess.” Everyone came to their senses as they bowed. This woman was actually the third princess. She actually came here to observe this battle.

”There’s no need to be polite.” The third princess laughed melodiously. Her beautiful smile caused Lu Xuejia to sigh in her heart. The beauty of the third princess was far above hers.

”Xuan Ting, Qin Wentian. Both of you are the backbone of our sect. I don’t wish for anything to happen to either of you. For this battle, please hold back. It will stop once the victor is decided.” The third princess spoke. Only now did many people realize that the name of the first devil general was Xuan Ting.

”Since princess has spoken, I won’t kill you. You should leave the sect.” The first devil general spoke.

”Can you even kill me? What if you lose?” Qin Wentian sat there as he coldly spoke.

”I won’t lose.” The first general’s aura was extremely sharp.

”Zong Yan thought so as well, but he is already dead.” Qin Wentian stated.

The first devil general stared at Qin Wentian as he replied, ”If I lose, I will quit being a general.”

”It doesn’t matter to me if you are a devil general or not.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. As the two of them conversed, a formless pressure tore apart space in the surroundings as the wine tables and wine cups all disintegrated into dust. The two of them then stood up.

”RUMBLE!” From the first devil general, a golden devilish light emanated. His body transformed into laws, enveloping this space. He lifted his finger and stabbed it out towards Qin Wentian, as a golden chariot ripped everything in his way into pieces. There was only heaven-shattering might radiating from it that could dominate all existences.

Qin Wentian could feel how vast the pressure was. He silently mused in his heart. How strong exactly has the first devil general’s proficiency in controlling the trace of immortal-king might reached?

However at the same time, a divine glow covered Qin Wentian. He also stabbed forth with a finger as law energy transformed into a sword river of annihilation. Numerous great rocs materialized from sword law energy, slamming into the war chariot shattering it.

The battle between the first and third devil general officially began!
