Chapter 501 - Birth Of the Devil Sword

Vigilante A continued watching for a while. Looking at how Elder Ancestor Bai successfully controlled the scene and that no other awe-inspiring figure descended from the sky, he then left without a sound.

When he left, Sir was having mixed feelings, it was both delighted since there were no deadly threats, and also extremely disappointed about losing its chance to farm…

Hence, Fang Ning was being nagged again.

“This is so boring, where’s the bigger picture you talked about? Quick, give me something to do.” Sir was unwilling to forgive him.

“Let me think. Oh right, two days ago, Achilles informed through WeChat that the lower two levels of Draconic Arcane Realm are done. The second level from the bottom is an arena while the first is a maze. Both levels are ready to be used now, how about you go and take a look?”

After racking his brain, Fang Ning finally recalled these two facilities that he had almost forgotten about, he quickly mentioned it to Sir to dismiss it, so that he could enjoy some peaceful time.

“Do I even need you to remind me? I already know that the construction is done but since everyone is anxious and the evildoers are in deep hiding, the arena has no visitors, and the maze can’t operate. Back when you came up with the idea, you even boasted about it, turns out it was a fine start but a weak finish, I got fooled again.” Sir said with discontent.

“Why would I fool you?” Fang Ning was somewhat guilty. At the end of the day, after he brought up the idea, he never really set his heart on it, it was truly a flash in the pan.

Construction was known to be a time-consuming job, now that a year had gone by and the construction work was completed, he really lost the excitement he had at that time.

“I’ll put it this way, this is a typical example of plans falling behind changes. The arena was mainly purposed to accumulate funds but due to the distressed public and the slumping economy at the moment, nobody is in the mood to watch tournaments. As for the maze, it was meant to induce devils but since the devils and heretics are being suppressed by you, I guess they won’t come too…” He defended himself.

“Wait a minute, don’t you have a godly sword that boosts courage? You even propagated that whoever obtains this sword will be able to levitate into the devil realm and all devils would come together…” Sir was in disbelief.

“Oh, you mean that fellow, you really have a great memory. That’s true, how about you use it as a tribute and see what happens…” Fang Ning almost forgot about this, after being reminded by Sir, he turned his eyes as an idea came to him.

“Wait up, listen to me…”

Sir patiently listened to Fang Ning for quite a long time, in the end, though extremely reluctant, it still uttered, “Mr. Rich Boss, you’re very wise.”

“Sigh, I haven’t heard this for a long time. Alright, go on with it.” Fang Ning sounded like he was deeply moved, but right after that, he was immersed in his game again…

This time, Sir would probably be very occupied for a long time, it would be enough for Fang Ning to numb himself for a while.

…

In the Underground Greater Rat Kingdom, Cang Lang led a group of wolf demons as they left the conference hall in a flurry, back to its residence.

“Damn it! That old fellow actually acquired approval from the Heavenly Axiom of this realm! How is this possible? Heavenly Merits can’t be gained so easily!” Cang Lang was exasperated as it blurted those words out.

Initially, it had everything planned and even made preparations for contingencies.

After failing to use Vigilante A’s name to do the dirty work for it, it connected with its ancestors from the upper realm, and they granted it with divine power to aid it in facing its enemy. Unexpectedly, it still could not equal up to the blessing he received from Heavenly Axiom.

‘Fortunately, this fellow was probably worried that he might draw trouble upon himself if he went on a killing spree, so he didn’t exterminate the loser like how it would’ve been in the upper realm.

‘Rather than that, he let me go. Considering this, I should really be grateful towards Vigilante A.

‘Hmph, I won’t be grateful. If he were to kill, he won’t kill me.’ Cang Lang wondered to itself.

“Leader, what’s our next move? It looks like we can’t stay in Demon Alliance anymore.” A loyal wolf guard suggested.

“Damn it, I’ve worked tirelessly to put Demon Alliance together but I was simply making wedding dresses for the humans!” When Cang Lang heard that, it became even more outraged. Nonetheless, no matter how grudging it was, a failure was a failure, it needed to bear with it.

“Now that things have gone this far, we can only look for the demon lord, he might possibly have an idea to turn the tables around.” Cang Lang pondered for some time then mentioned.

“Leader, when we left the conference hall just now, I noticed that Nie Yuan the demon lord’s follower seemed to be following that old rat again, what a fickle, petty person.” The faithful wolf guard said in extreme disdain.

“Oh, is that so?” Cang Lang did not have ten threads as Sir did, and had focused all his attention on Elder Ancestor Bai, thus he did not notice Nie Yuan’s movements.

All of a sudden, he smiled. “Hehe, we don’t have to find that demon lord just yet. For the time being, we’ll bide our time, I believe somebody will eliminate this old rat for us.”

The wolf guards were clueless but nobody dared to question him as they trusted that their leader would not speak aimlessly.

A couple of days later, they had already left the Greater Rat Kingdom. Cang Lang, who was waiting heedlessly in the wolf lair browsed the internet to search for information.

“A devil sword has been born from the mysterious Devilish Realm, and the one who acquires it can ascend into the devil realm? What bullsh*t is this, only fools will believe in this. The devil realm was ruined long ago, it can’t even fend for itself, why would anyone go there? To eat dust?”

It was examining a picture that appeared on the internet, where a golden-colored sword was attached above a caption. It stated that a person who had fallen into the Devilish Realm captured the photo and heard something related to it.

Because Cang Lang had a good understanding of the upper realm, it was indifferent towards this news. Nevertheless, just as it was about to close the page, it took another look at it.

Right then, it noticed a tiny decorative pattern on the precious sword, which instantly attracted its attention.

“This is odd, why do I feel like this is somewhat familiar? Right, isn’t this the decorative pattern on Vigilante A’s flying sword?”

As it was already used to plotting schemes, it immediately made a sharp discovery that this was not as simple as it seemed.

“Could it be that somebody stole Vigilante A’s precious? Or Vigilante A’s flying sword originated from the same place as this devil sword?

“This won’t do, I’ll have to send someone to investigate on this, perhaps this will be the chance for me to turn things around…” Cang Lang mumbled to itself.

Soon enough, it summoned a wolf demon, showed it the picture for it to remember, then ordered it to investigate it instantly.

‘I believe there’ll be a reply three days later, I’ll know the truth then.’ While it wondered, it continued reading other information online.

…

Many days later, Sir was tremendously excited.

On the first level of Draconic Arcane Realm, among the twisty tunnels of the maze, devils in twos and threes walked together to search for the devil sword that was rumored to have been born.

“Mr. Rich Boss, your idea is great. It has only been a few days, many devils in hiding have now entered the maze, hoping that they can reap some benefits. It has been a long time since I’ve farmed devils to my heart’s content.” Sir announced cheerily.

“Calm down, calm down, don’t be so obvious, let us attract more of them first.” Fang Ning advised.

“Eh, look, there’s another ugly fellow in the maze who’s chasing a herd of cows and horses. This is really strange, other devils bring poisonous insects and evil spirits along, yet this fellow is unique as he brought a herd of cows and horses in. Is he sending us labor because he knows that our herb farms are lacking livestock?” Sir was surprised.

“Let me take a look.” Fang Ning became interested, he quickly looked through the System View.

He saw a grid square located at the entrance of the maze on the third level, such that the square led to six maze entrances.

In the heart of the square stood an ugly man who was naked to the waist, he sat on a white horse and looked around himself in confusion.

Beside his white horse we seventeen to eighteen cows and horses of various colors, be it red, yellow, white, or black. There were water buffalos, cattle, steeds, and jades, which were all common species.

“There’s quite a number of them, is he here with a team? Is there anything special about those cows and horses?” Fang Ning asked.

“I really can’t tell if there’s anything special about them, but those cows and horses have eyes like a human’s.” Sir was unbothered.
