Chapter 494: Arrival

A violent explosion rang out after Elder Hadji's spear struck the combined attacks of Yin Long, Gu San, and Ka Wayan! 

A huge cluster of dust covered the surroundings. The nearby trees and mountains collapsed under the shockwaves of the battle! The ground was covered in fissures and cracks and the sky was enveloped by a gloomy and dreadful aura. 

When the cloud of dust subsided, the figures of Yin Long and the other two can be seen hovering above the clouds. The three of them were looking in the same direction with cold eyes. 

"Hadji, we can still talk this out. If you tell us information about the Dark Devil Race, we can consider sparing your life!" Yin Long shouted in a hoarse voice. 

"Brother Yin!" Gu San and Ka Wayan were surprised when heard this, but Yin Long ignored them. The value of taking Elder Hadji alive was enormous since he might hold information about the secrets of the Dark Devil Race! 

Opposite of them was Elder Hadji who was there hovering unsteadily as he tightly clutched his broken spear. His face was pale and his body was covered in wounds and cuts. He let out a mocking smile as he muttered. "You can't get anything from me, Yin Long! Haha!" He then raised his broken spear and pierced his heart while bursting his remaining blood essence! 

Puchi!

Elder Hadji's body fell from the sky, his face filled with regret and remorse.

"No!" Yin Long dashed towards Elder Hadji, but when he caught the latter's body, Yin Long sensed that he was already dead. 

"Brother Yin!" Gu San and Ka Wayan glanced at Elder Hadji's corpse with complicated emotions. They were also familiar with him, but fate works mysteriously, who knew that they would face each other like this in their old age? 

"He's already dead. He burned all his blood essence and he even severed his heart meridians. Even the best medicine can no longer revive him..." Yin Long shook his head and sighed. 

"Did you get any information from him?" Ka Wayan asked. 

"Only vague information. According to him, the Dark Devil Race now has about a dozen or more Heavenly God Realm experts and the Devil Lord has reached the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm!" Yin Long answered in a grim voice. 

"What?!" The faces of Gu San and Ka Wayan fell upon hearing this. Peak stage Heavenly God Realm! That means the Devil Lord was now as strong as Jiu Shen! 

With a dark look on his face, Yin Long added. "Not just that. He also said that the Dark Devil Race isn't our only enemy..." 

Gu San and Ka Wayan felt a sense of foreboding when they heard that. The Dark Devil Race alone was already too much to handle for them. Now, Yin Long was saying that there might be more enemies! 

Yin Long didn't tell them about the thing that Elder Hadji mentioned before he died. He said that they would only be of help to the Winged Devil Race if they had the strength of a Celestial Emperor! He didn't know if Elder Hadji was talking about the Devil Lord or he could be talking about someone else...

"Let's go! The battle will attract experts soon, so we must leave this place immediately! We should prioritize the migration process for now and talk about this with Lord Jiu Shen some other time! Come on!" Yin Long urged his two buddied when he saw them spacing out.

Inside an inn, Kadhar was cultivating motionlessly on his bed, but he suddenly sensed his communication crystal vibrating. He opened his eyes and took out his communication crystal with his eyebrows furrowed slightly. 

"Kadhar, don't look for me! From now on, you will lead the investigations. Make sure that you will hide your wings when you're in public! Farewell..." The voice coming from the communication crystal contained a hint of urgency and regret. 

Kadhar's eyes widened when he heard Elder Hadji's voice. 

"Elder Hadji where are-" Before he could ask anything, Kadhar heard a cracking sound, and the voice behind the communication crystal soon vanished. 

Kadhar frowned and he could not help but feel that something bad has happened to Elder Hadji. "He said that he will look for the hidden base of the God Sword Region. I think Elder Hadji manage to find their hideout but he was also noticed by Yin Long and the others..." 

"Elder Hadji..." 

Kadhar rose to his feet as he muttered with a grave look. "I have to inform the others about this and change our plans!"

Meanwhile, the people from the Heavenly Sword Tower arrived safely in the dragon building. The wine store was now closed, so there were no people loitering around.

After seeing that no one was present, Serek and Garyun led everyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower inside the dragon building. 

The Supreme God Realm armored guard who was protecting them from the shadows also put up an invisible wall to prevent anyone from noticing them. 

Inside the dragon building, another armored guard greeted them upon their arrival. 

"Wine Master Jiu Shen is waiting for you guys upstairs." He said as he pointed at the staircase that leads to the second floor. 

Everyone curiously stared at the dragon building as they slowly walked. They were fascinated by the beautiful sight! 

Hestia, Ren Shuang, and a few other important members were also here. Only Theia and some Division Heads remained in the camp. 

When they entered the second floor, they were surprised when they saw a vast empty hall. There were about twenty people inside, cultivating with their eyes shut tight. They recognized Jiu Shen and the twenty female disciples, but the old man who was dressed in plain white robes was someone unfamiliar to them. Everyone wondered who this guy was...

Jiu Shen calmly opened his eyes and stood up when he sensed their arrival. He then smiled at everyone and said. "Hello, everyone!"
