Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1232: Devil General

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Blackstone Devil Sect was the power governing this devil island. Its authority and power was naturally immense.

Inside the devil sect, the Blackstone Devil King was the supreme sovereign. There were also four devil lords under him.

Under the four devil lords, they each have seven devil generals as subordinates, making it a total of twenty-eight. They were the controllers of the sect on the surface. And under each devil general, each and every one of them command a powerful regiment. These regiments were known as the Blackstone Army.

Hence, there werenʼt too many core disciples in the Blackstone Devil Sect. The vast majority of members are soldiers of the Blackstone Army. Their main purpose was to use their tyrannical force to subdue those who didnʼt want to submit.

During the journey to the Blackstone Devil Sect, he already understood the main situation of the sect from the two disciples.

The four devil lords were devil-king level characters. In addition to the most powerful Blackstone Devil King, the five of them were the governors of this island.

As for the twenty-eight devil generals under the four devil lords, their cultivation bases were at the peak of devil-foundation. In addition, according to the two disciples, all of them were characters who had already glimpsed the gate leading to the devil-king realm. If not, it would be impossible for them to seize the position of a devil general, controlling many disciples and a regiment of troops.

In the Blackstone Devil Sect, all cultivation resources had to be fought for and seized. Strength was everything. They used conflict to birth more experts.

In the central regions of this island, there was an impossibly vast devil palace, exuding majesticness. This place was the devil palace of the Blackstone Devil King.

In the four directions of this palace, there were other smaller palaces of different styles. These four other palaces were none other than the residences for the four devil lords.

The Flower Devil Lord was the only female out of the four, and she was in charge of the Eastern Devil Palace.

There were seven devil generals under her and one of the generals was named Lu Xuejia. She was one of the characters with the most authority in the Eastern Devil Palace, ranking among the top seven.

Lu Xuejia was a devil general at the peak of devil-foundation and has already glismped the gate leading to the devil-king realm.

Feng Qingyu, who was killed by Qin Wentian, was none other than her subordinate. Hence, he was brought here to the palace where Lu Xuejia was in.

Standing below the stairway, Qin Wentian inclined his head to stare at the devil palace above it. He was musing in his heart that devil cultivators seemed to emphasize more on prestige compared to immortal-cultivators. Just this palace alone was of this style. By building a stairway to lead up to oneʼs palace, that palace symbolized authority and might.

Although Qin Wentian had long met many immortal kings before and immortal-foundation characters had no way to attract his interest, at this moment, he could already sense how rigid order was in the devil sect.

Only experts could stand tall. This was the same even for experts of the highest tier.

If one wanted to climb up the ladder, they can only kill the other party, replacing their position.

Naturally, Qin Wentian wouldnʼt be so foolish as to directly ascend the stairs at this moment and storm into the palace to kill the devil general Lu Xuejia. Leaving aside the fact that Lu Xuejiaʼs strength was unknown to him, even if he knew, in the devil palace there would surely be other powerful experts in the palace as she had sovereignty there. She could directly command them to kill Qin Wentian. For provoking her prestige and authority, she could order them to kill everyone simply because she was already standing at that position.

The devil sect was truly a brutal place of cruelty. Now, you may stand in this position, but this didnʼt mean you would stand here forever. You have to constantly be wary of people around her who would act against her. Once they found your weakness and an opportunity, they would kill you to replace you.

This undoubtedly caused countless storms of blood. But at the same time, those who could sit stably at their positions at the end, their strengths were naturally extremely overwhelming.

It was said that Lu Xuejia has already been sitting in this position for thirty plus years. Now, she would only be stronger than before and there was no longer anyone who would dare to challenge her authority. For those who did so before, all of them had already become bones buried in the ground of the devil palace.

”Qianshan begs an audience with devil general madam.” A disciple beside Qin Wentian spoke. There were other guards stationed above the stairway, and were Lu Xuejiaʼs forces. Qin Wentian discovered that these guards were all above the sixth-level of immortal-foundation. From this, one could see that this devil sect had no lack of experts. But in reality, only a rare few would be able to become disciples of the devil sect. A majority of them were merely ordinary troops in the army.

There was no reply from above, but the two beside Qin Wentian continued standing there respectfully. After a long time, a cold female voice rang out, ”Who is this person?”

”He is the one who killed Feng Qingyu and replaced her position.” Qianxian spoke.

Although she was clad in simple clothing, it did nothing to mask her grace. Her eyes were extremely cold, and seemed as though they could penetrate through oneʼs heart.

”Allowing Feng Qingyu to go back was because she wanted to strengthen her cultivation by one level. Who would have thought that she was so useless and was killed. But in any case, since thereʼs someone replacing her, the strength of this man should be above her.” Lu Xuejia didnʼt attach too much importance to the death of Feng Qingyu. Her cold eyes glanced at Qin Wentian as she asked, ”Howʼs your combat prowess?”

”There should be no problem for me to kill eighth-level devil-foundation characters.” Qin Wentian replied.

”Okay, you can be a devil guard under me first.” Lu Xuejia didnʼt have any objections with regards to Qin Wentian replacing Feng Qingyu. In any case in this devil palace, as a devil general, her words were law here. Nobody could refute them. This was a simple logic of the devil sect - strength was everything.

Even if she wanted Qin Wentian to be a slave, Qin Wentian would have to do so.

The devil path was extremely cruel, if one wanted to survive longer, they might even need to mask their own talent or those stronger than them might kill them, not wanting to give them a chance to grow.

”General, this man originated from the immortal realms, he isnʼt a devil cultivator.” Qianshan spoke. This caused Lu Xuejia, who was already preparing to leave, to start a little. She turned back and glance at Qin Wentian but in just an instant, her countenance returned to normal. She then calmly spoke, ”Several days ago, an immortal realm cultivator arrived at the Northern Devil Palace and itʼs said that his combat prowess is extremely powerful, able to fight equally with peak-level devil-foundation cultivators. To think that today, an immortal realm cultivator would also become my subordinate.”

After saying that, she continued, ”Come on up. From today onwards, you should first familiarize yourself with the rules.”

Qin Wentian frowned when he heard her words earlier. The Northern Devil Palace also had an immortal realm cultivator?

Such coincidence, could it be that the other party was also someone participating in the adjudication battle? Was that person an ally of his forces? Or an enemy belonging to the Skymist Alliance?

They passed through the devil gate together, and although it was highly possible that all of them appeared in different places, the places they were sent to might not be that far apart. There was a possibility that there would be others on this same devil island as well.

And just like that, Qin Wentian simply became a devil knight under Lu Xuejia.

When in rome, do as the romans do. Although Qin Wentian was proud, he wasnʼt extremely arrogant. Since he came to the Myriad Devil Islands, he should adapt to everything here. If he didnʼt, he would die in this place sooner rather than later.

Hence, even if some of his duties required him to stand outside the palace as a guard, Qin Wentian just accepted them.

It was just that his eyes would occasionally gleam with light as he stared at the devil palace, revealing his ambition. Since he has entered the Blackstone Devil Sect, he naturally needed to acquire a high position here or there would be no meaning to it.

Becoming a devil general was the next thing he had to do.

Today, Qin Wentian was guarding the devil palace. He saw two devil experts entering the palace and a moment later, the sound of intense combat rang out. The guards beside him were already familiar to such a scene. Clearly, this had happened many times before.

”Not bad. As my guards, if you all aid me in the ranking battles this time around, and if I can rise up the ranks, I will heavily reward all of you.” Lu Xuejiaʼs voice rang out from within. Qin Wentianʼs eyes flashed, he has heard of the devil ranking battles before with regards to the Blackstone Devil Sect.

Within the devil sect, the twenty-eight devil generals under the four devil lords all had rankings.

The foremost oneʼs ranking is, the more authority that person would have. In addition, they would also be able to acquire unique rewards from the devil king.

Lu Jiaxue was currently ranked ninth out of the twenty-eight devil generals.

An instant later, Lu Jiaxue tossed out two bodies as she stepped out. Right now, she was wearing black-colored tight-fitting clothes, further accentuating her fiery figure. Her entire being exuded a heroic air, tender, beautiful and filled with grace. Qin Wentian couldnʼt help but to take a few more glances at her.

”BOOM!” Abruptly, a cold aura gushed forth towards Qin Wentian. A guard beside Lu Xuejia frowned as his eyes gleamed with a terrifying devil light, coldly staring at Qin Wentian as he spoke. ”Dig your eyes out.”

Qin Wentianʼs eyes flashed as he stared at the man who spoke. This person had a cultivation base equivalent to the ninth-level of immortal-foundation and exuded a powerful and majestic aura.

”Why?” Qin Wentian counter-asked.

”How can our devil general be a character that can be profaned by your eyes? You actually still dare to ask why? Go dig out your own eyes and slice off your tongue.” That devil expert spoke, his words extremely tyrannical.

Qin Wentian did indeed cast additional glances at Lu Xuejiaʼs body. But with just a few additional glances, this man wanted him to dig out his own eyes?

When devil cultivators do things, they truly gave no quarters, doing whatever they wanted to do.

Lu Xuejiaʼs footsteps also halted. She glanced ahead, and didnʼt say anything. It was like what just happened had nothing to do with her.

”I only have admiration in my heart towards our devil general, how could I profane her? As for you, who the hell you think you are? Do you even have the qualifications to ask me to dig my eyes out?” Qin Wentianʼs voice grew cold.

”RUMBLE!” A terrifying black devil might instantly erupted. The black light gradually congealed into a terrifying devil saber of darkness. The other party didnʼt say anything more and directly slashed out with the darkness saber, wanting to cleave apart space. He aimed the strike towards Qin Wentian and if this strike struck, Qin Wentian would definitely be split into two.

To devil cultivators, killing was just as ordinary and insignificant this. Such brutality was everywhere on the Myriad Devil Islands.

Qin Wentianʼs gaze turned cold. His aura instantly erupted forth as well. Layers of fiendgod light circulated around his body, as ancient characters floated around him. As the saber cleaved down, the saber of darkness actually was shattered due to his defense.

However, this didnʼt affect the emotions of the attacker. An even stronger burst of devil might burst forth and this time around, there was an actual devil saber in his hands as he slashed out with it. The incomparably sharp edge of the saber cleaved apart the layers of light, wanting to execute Qin Wentian instantly!
