Chapter 664: Chapter 407 To the Polar Region_2

After the demonic beast answered, Logan let out a sigh of relief. After all, the strongest was only at Half-step Saint Seat, which did not require his intervention as Bart Cloud could handle it on his own.

But Bart Cloud furrowed his brow and explained to Logan, “The Orthodox Demonic Sect is the most ancient of the Demon Path schools, and there’s a saying that all of the Demon Path comes from the Orthodox Demonic Sect. It’s just that they’ve always kept a low profile, and the world thought that the Demonic Sky Gate was the premier sect. In fact, the Orthodox Demonic Sect is the true leader.”

“Because the Orthodox Demonic Sect is so mysterious, no one knows how many strong ones it has. Some say it has declined, but many powerhouses believe that there are at least several Sanctuary Powerhouses within the Orthodox Demonic Sect. I think that, since it is the orthodox tradition of the Demon Path, it’s best not to provoke them carelessly, or else there will be endless troubles.”

At least a few hundred years ago, every demon cult sect revered the Orthodox Demonic Sect. It’s only because several Holy Sees in the Central Region joined forces and left the Orthodox Demonic Sect decimated that they could only seek refuge in the Eastern Territory. However, there they are still one of the top sects.

“The Cloud Sky Sect is also powerful, with a legacy of ten thousand years and has been suppressing the Orthodox Demonic Sect for many years. The Orthodox Demonic Sect seeks to eliminate the Young Master of the Cloud Sky Sect so that they can bring the entire Eastern Territory under their control. Once they grow, the next step will be to set their sights on the Central Region and the Western Wasteland.”

Seeing Logan lost in thought, the demonic beast feared he wouldn’t go, “The Cloud Sky Sect has always held its benefactors in high regard. If you both take action, there will surely be a generous reward. I’m just a humble demon beast, but I am willing to die for the Young Master.”

“I will go and see for myself!” Logan waved his hand, calm and collected, not afraid at all even knowing the strength of the Orthodox Demonic Sect.

Even if there were several Sanctuary Powerhouses, so what? It has nothing to do with Logan. If they really pose a threat to him, then, so be it, a fight it is!

Logan has now reached Dominator Great Perfection; one more step and he will be at Half-step Saint Seat. Even if he faced a Sanctuary Powerhouse, he would not be afraid.

Logan knew that he needed only a few tens of millions of Spirit Stones, combined with an array, to slay a Sanctuary Powerhouse, not to mention about progressing further.

Following the demonic beast, Logan and his companion came to an icy plain where a standoff was underway, with seventy to eighty black-clothed men besieging a dozen or so others.

Most inside the encirclement were injured, and one young man shouted fiercely, “Orthodox Demonic Sect, are you not afraid of the Cloud Sky Sect’s enraged vengeance?”

“What’s the Cloud Sky Sect? Do you really think that being the number one sect in the Eastern Territory for so many years makes you the best in the world? It is just that our Orthodox Demonic Sect has always kept a low profile,” the leader of the black-clothed men laughed haughtily, “But now that the Central Region is busy with its own troubles and no Sanctuary Powerhouse shows up, the Orthodox Demonic Sect, after so many years of patience, should also make its presence known!”

“You dozen or so people should just surrender; perhaps we’ll spare your lives, especially since as the Young Master of the Cloud Sky Sect, you’re still quite valuable,” he added.

“In your dreams!” the young man roared, filled with fury, “I, Thornwell Nango, will never collude with a demon sect. Even if I die in battle today, it’s the same. You demon cult sects wreak havoc in the Eastern Territory, and all righteous sects will condemn you. Your arrogance won’t last long.”

“Fine then, off to your deaths!” Benjamin Blackwood sneered coldly, gesturing for his men to charge. The lowest realm amongst the black-clothed men was that of a complete Throne, and several were even Dominators.

On the other hand, Thornwell Nango’s side had already suffered significant casualties, and the remaining dozen or so were ordinary Thrones, including the leader Thornwell Nango himself.

The gap in strength between Thrones and Dominators was enormous, not to mention they were at a numerical disadvantage. From a distance, Logan analyzed the battlefield situation and concluded that Thornwell Nango would not last three rounds.

Then, with an amused smile, he stepped forward and nonchalantly threw a punch at Benjamin Blackwood. While Blackwood, who was proudly watching the fight, felt a surge of killing intent and hastily struck a palm back behind him, then turned around to find a young man attacking him.

However, Logan’s punch was power-packed, and Blackwood flew off dozens of meters, leaving him completely bewildered. Knowing that he himself was at Half-step Saint Seat, he couldn’t believe that he didn’t gain any advantage against Logan. Granted, it was a sneak attack, but he had put forth all his strength.

After barely stabilizing his stance, Benjamin Blackwood immediately summoned his divine weapon and attacked Logan, but Logan remained calm and unconcerned, appearing to not take his opponent seriously. After just a few rounds, he managed to shatter Benjamin Blackwood’s divine weapon and render all his divine skills useless.

Bart Cloud was not idle either, joining the battlefield to assist Thornwell Nango against those dozens of people. Bart Cloud was from the Dominator Realm, and far stronger than any other Dominator present, likely by several orders of magnitude. After all, Bart Cloud could fight on equal footing with those at Half-step Saint Seat, so he routed those people, who were left incapable of forming a proper resistance.

Thornwell Nango’s pressure was greatly reduced, and he sighed in relief upon the sudden arrival of the two: “I really don’t know from whence these friends came to rescue us from dire straits.”

At that moment, That Demonic Beast also ran up to Thornwell Nango, who immediately realized everything—it must have been the merit of his beast companion.

“Little Five, you’re amazing!” Upon hearing Thornwell Nango’s praise, That Demonic Beast became even more exuberant, hopping and leaping joyfully around Thornwell Nango.

However, Thornwell Nango asked the beast to step aside for a moment as he picked up the divine weapon: “We can’t rely entirely on the two heroes; as long as we’re not dead, we should contribute our efforts!”

Thornwell Nango charged forward with his sword in hand. Bart Cloud alone was enough to contend with dozens of people, but with the addition of fifteen more, the pressure was naturally divided.

As for the dozens of enemies, already unable to withstand Bart Cloud’s onslaught, now they were completely devoid of the strength to fight back. In less than a minute, more than half had fallen, and the rest dared not continue to fight, retreating continuously.

The situation was even worse for Benjamin Blackwood, already injured under Logan’s attacks, he saw that the situation was now uncontrollable. Despite his frustration and disappointment, Benjamin Blackwood had no choice but to issue a retreat order, and then he too vanished on the icy plains.

Logan didn’t pursue. His combat power was on par with a Quasi-Saint, but his divine skills fell short. The enemy had likely already escaped miles away, beyond his reach.

Thornwell Nango came over at this time and gave a deep bow, “Thank you, two benefactors. I am the young master of the Cloud Sky Sect. I’ll be sure to repay this life-saving grace.”

“Why would you be in conflict with the Orthodox Demonic Sect, and what brought you to the Extreme Cold Lands?” Logan asked Thornwell Nango, wanting to know his answer.

Thornwell Nango hesitated. Although it was not something to be shared with outsiders, considering it was a matter of the survival of his sect, and since Logan had saved his life, he decided not to hide the truth after some thought.

“The situation is thus: we came to the Extreme Cold Lands in search of a century-old Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. My father is ill, but our sworn enemy, the Orthodox Demonic Sect, wouldn’t have it and sent a large number of assassins to stop us. If it weren’t for the benefactors’ intervention today, I’m afraid I would have met with a fatal disaster.”

Logan nodded, appearing to believe Thornwell Nango’s words, then he inquired further, “By the way, do you know where the Ancient Secret Realm in the Extreme Cold Lands is?”

“Are you referring to the one that opens every ten years, which the Sanctuary Powerhouses enter in search of opportunities?” asked Thornwell Nango. Seeing Logan nod, he inhaled sharply. The Ancient Secret Realm was generally a place for the Sanctuary Powerhouses, and even a Quasi-Saint would not qualify. What would Logan want there?

The thought of Logan defeating Benjamin Blackwood with his thunderous methods crossed his mind—after all, the enemy was a Half-step Saint Seat. Could it be that Logan was at the Quasi-Saint level? He seemed too young for that, but then Thornwell Nango realized that such a powerhouse could naturally alter their appearance.

“Only Sanctuary Powerhouses, through divination, can discern the whereabouts of the Ancient Secret Realm. The Extreme Cold Lands span a million miles and are too vast for those of our Realm to know,” he said, shaking his head. But then he added, “However, in ten days, when the Ancient Secret Realm opens for its ten-year cycle, it will surely cause a celestial phenomenon, and then we will know its location!”

“Wait another ten days?” Logan considered the matter and found it acceptable; after all, his reason for going to the Ancient Secret Realm was to seek further trials.

Remaining in the Extreme Cold Lands for now and exploring the area seemed reasonable, as it was no less rich in opportunities than the Central Region. There might even be other chances to come.
