Chapter 1475: Mission Completion

Looking at the imperial nether devils before him, Xiang Shaoyun wondered inwardly, They are probably all Devil Gods. It shouldn't be hard for them to maintain their youth. Why am I sensing such a thick aura of death from them? The aura of death was something only those about to die would have. But those in the God Realm were basically immortals. Something must have happened to the imperial nether devils.

"As the current nineteenth prince, the Nether Monarch definitely has a mission for you if he's sending you out, right?" asked the person on the main seat.

In fact, he was the Nether Monarch's little brother, known as the Second Nether Monarch. Back then, he was also the leader of the campaign against the surface world. The Second Nether Monarch was incomparably powerful. He wouldn't have been able to break through humanity's defensive line and occupy a province otherwise. Unfortunately, he had also suffered grave injuries during that war. Even after countless years of recuperation, he still couldn't fully recover. If it wasn't for his great strength, he would have died long ago.

As for the other imperial nether devils present, they were also powerful Devil Gods. They had all contributed too much of their strength to ensure the growth of the younger generation, but it was a pity that their hard work hadn't paid off.

"The Nether Monarch told me to bring this thing here," said Xiang Shaoyun as he took out the nether devil stone unhesitatingly.

With that, he had completed the Nether Monarch's mission. With a wave of the Second Nether Monarch's hand, the nether devil stone appeared in the Second Nether Monarch's hand.

He then exclaimed, "There's hope! There's hope for us!"

The other imperial nether devils also looked incomparably excited. Their eyes became filled with hope, and the aura of death on their bodies faded significantly.

"Since I've completed the mission, I'll be taking my leave," said Xiang Shaoyun as he cupped his hands.

He did not want to get involved in the conflict between the two races. Thus, he wanted to leave after completing his mission.

"There's no rush, nineteenth prince. Don't you want to return to the Devil Domain with us?" asked the Second Nether Monarch.

"No. I'm staying on the surface world," rejected Xiang Shaoyun without the slightest hesitation.

"Hehe, that's not up to you," said the Second Nether Monarch with a sneer. "Everyone, get ready. Today is the day we return home."

"Yes, Second Nether Monarch," answered the others with excitement.

Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to leave without permission. He said, "Lord, the Nether Monarch granted me a high level of freedom and authority. I hope you don't make things difficult for me."

"You probably share the blood of both the humans and our race, right?" asked the Second Nether Monarch.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hide anything. Before such an expert, lies meant nothing. He nodded and said, "Yes."

"Since my imperial brother sent you to deliver this nether devil stone, he definitely has a way of controlling you. However, he decided not to. It is obvious that he looks highly upon you. Return with me. The dominion does not suit you," said the Second Nether Monarch. "Everyone, get ready. The time to return home has arrived!"

The other imperial nether devils looked confused because they did not understand what their patriarch meant. Next, the group of old imperial nether devils appeared at the province's border. They activated the formation at the same time, gathering a massive amount of devilish energy above the Imperial Nether Province, greatly strengthening the province's defenses.

The Gods in charge of keeping watch over the Imperial Nether Province immediately sensed that something had changed. Instantly, six figures appeared from different directions. All six were human God Realm experts. Every single one of them was a vigorous and powerful cultivator. Among them, three were Darkdevil Sect members, while the rest were Guardians Guild members.

The Darkdevil Sect members were all clad in black and enveloped in a thick layer of dark energy. The strongest among them was a youth, the previous sect master of the Darkdevil Sect, Devil Concubine's great-grandfather.

As for the three from the Guardians Guild, they were led by a middle-aged woman who looked about 40 years old. She still maintained a youthful complexion, but her looks were rather average. She was He Chenyu, a fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.

"What is wrong with the Imperial Nether Clan? Are they taking advantage of the chaos to create some trouble as well?" said He Chenyu.

Mo Yue frowned as he said, "The four formations have been activated at the same time. They don't seem to be trying to leave. Instead, they seem to be reinforcing the barrier. It has been so many years. Are they still trying to create trouble for us?"

"At present, the Bloodsin Cities are all at war, the Dusk Dynasty is experiencing an invasion, and the Dark Devourer Clan is trying to invade the Eastern Pass. I'm afraid the Imperial Nether Province is trying to do something as well," said a God Realm expert clad in blue.

A different person said, "That's right. We can't take this lightly. If we give them a chance to join hands, the dominion will sink into chaos."

"In that case, let's observe. If the Imperial Nether Clan takes even one step out of the Imperial Nether Province, activate the Devil Refining Formation and destroy them entirely," said Mo Yue.

The Darkdevil Sect shouldered a heavy responsibility. Due to that, they were stationed here, became the strongest local superpower, and had obtained countless resources. In return, they had to take on the task of suppressing the devils in the province.

After all, the moment this branch of the Imperial Nether Clan tried something, the Darkdevil Sect would bear the brunt of the destruction. Without enough strength, they would suffer disastrous losses.

"Alright. Where's Mo Dong? Why is he not here?" asked He Chenyu with a frown.

"He's here," said someone as he looked in a certain direction.

Not far away, two people were flying toward them. One was the old man who had been infected with devilish energy, while the other was Purple Lightning Marquis.

"Mo Dong, what's wrong with you? Why're you so slow?" questioned He Chenyu unhappily. When her gaze landed on Purple Lightning Marquis, astonishment covered her eyes as she asked, "Who is this?"

Mo Dong hurriedly replied, "My apologies, Lord He. This is Lord Purple Lightning. If it wasn't for his help, my consciousness would have been invaded by devilish energy."

"When did the dominion gain such a young God?" asked Mo Yue doubtfully.

Purple Lightning Marquis was famous 10,000 years ago, but during that time frame, the Overlord was the brightest star. Although the five generals were equally famous, they weren't much in the eyes of God Realm experts. Since Purple Lightning Marquis had maintained a low profile in the last 10,000 years, not many people knew about him.

Purple Lightning Marquis replied indifferently, "I'm simply a nobody not worth mentioning."

Just as they were about to further question him, the weather above the Imperial Nether Province suddenly changed. A massive amount of devilish energy was gathering, and an apocalyptic aura was starting to spread.
