The Blackstone Devil Sect governed the entire island, how vast was their power?
Within the sect, the Blackstone Devil King was the supreme ruler, and there were four devil monarchs under him.
Below the four devil monarchs, there were seven devil generals. There were a total of twenty-eight devil generals under the four devil monarchs. They were the controllers of the Blackstone Devil Sect on the surface and each of them had a powerful devil army under them. This army was collectively known as the Blackstone Army.
Hence, within the Blackstone Devil Sect, there weren't too many core disciples. The vast majority of them were in charge of the Blackstone Army. As the strongest force that could sweep through the devil path, they would suppress all those who disobeyed their orders.
On the way there, Qin Wentian already understood the general situation of the Blackstone Devil Sect.
The four devil monarchs were all at the devil king level. In addition to the strongest devil king, the Blackstone Devil King, there were actually a total of five devil king-level characters in the sect.
As for the twenty-eight devil generals under the four devil monarchs, their cultivation bases were all at the peak of devil-foundation. Also, according to the two beside him, they were all characters who had already peeked through the gate to the devil king realm. If not, they wouldn't be able to sit in the position of devil general and control so many disciples as well as an army.
In the Blackstone Devil Sect, all cultivation resources had to be fought for with strength. Experts were born from iron and blood.
In the central region of the devil island, there was a devil king palace that exuded terrifying devil might. This was the devil palace of the Blackstone Devil King.
In the four directions of the devil palace, there were four different devil palaces of different styles. These were none other than the four devil monarchs.
Devil Lord Hua Ji was the only female devil lord among the four. She was in charge of the Eastern Devil Palace.
There were seven devil generals under her, and one of them was named Lu Xuejia. She was one of the seven most authoritative characters in the Eastern Devil Palace.
She was a devil general at the peak of devil-foundation, and had already peeked through to the devil king realm.
Feng Qingyu, whom Qin Wentian killed, was one of Lu Xuejia's subordinates. Hence, he was brought to the palace Lu Xuejia was in.
Standing at the bottom of the devil staircase, Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the devil palace above the mountain gate. He mused in his heart that people of the devil path truly understood prestige more compared to people of the immortal realms. Just the architectural style of this building was filled with a sense of hierarchy. The palace above the staircase was a symbol of authority.
Although Qin Wentian had long seen many immortal kings, immortal-foundation characters wouldn't be able to attract his interest. But at this moment, he could already sense how strict the hierarchy was.
Only the strong could be high and mighty. Even if they were only one level stronger, it was still the same.
If he wanted to ascend to the top, the only way was to kill the other party and replace him.
Of course, Qin Wentian wouldn't be so stupid as to directly step onto the devil gate staircase and enter the palace to kill Lu Xuejia. Not to mention the fact that Lu Xuejia's strength was unknown, even if he knew her strength, Lu Xuejia had the highest authority in this devil palace. She could directly order everyone to kill Qin Wentian. Anyone who dared to challenge her authority, she could directly order people to kill.
Because, she was already standing in that position.
The true cruelty of the devil path was that even if you stood in that position now, it didn't mean that you would be able to stay there forever. You have to constantly be wary of the people around you and your subordinates. Because once they found an opportunity to kill someone stronger than you, they would replace you.
This would undoubtedly increase the number of bloodshed. But at the same time, there was no need to doubt the strength of those who could sit in that position.
It was said that Lu Xuejia has already stayed in this palace for over thirty years. Thirty years ago, she walked up and sat in that position. Thirty years later, she only grew stronger. Right now, there was no longer anyone who dared to challenge her authority. Those who dared to challenge her before were all buried in the devil palace.
"Qianshan requests an audience with Lord Devil General." The person beside Qin Wentian spoke. There were soldiers standing guard at the top of the stairway, they were all Lu Xuejia's subordinates. Qin Wentian discovered that their cultivation bases were all at the sixth-level or above. From this, one could see that the devil sect had no lack of experts. But in reality, those who could truly become disciples of the devil sect were very few in number. The vast majority of them were from the army of the devil sect.
There was no reply but the two people beside Qin Wentian continued standing there. After a long time, the cold voice of a female rang out, "Who is this person?"
"He killed Feng Qingyu and replaced her." Qianshan replied.
Another period of silence. An instant later, the sound of footsteps rang out from the devil hall at the top of the stairway. Not long after, Qin Wentian saw a woman clad in simple robes standing at the top of the stairway. She was none other than Lu Xuejia.
Her simple robes were unable to conceal her magnificence. Her eyes were extremely cold, as though they could see through the hearts of others.
"I let Feng Qingyu return because I wanted her cultivation base to rise to the next level. Who would have thought that she was so useless and was killed by someone. But it's just as well. Since there's someone who can replace her, his strength should definitely be above Feng Qingyu." Lu Xuejia didn't have much of a reaction to Feng Qingyu's death. Her calm eyes stared at Qin Wentian, "How's your combat prowess?"
"It shouldn't be a problem for me to kill eighth-level devil-foundation experts." Qin Wentian replied.
"Okay, you can be my personal devil knight for now." Lu Xuejia didn't ask for Qin Wentian's opinion. In this devil palace, as a devil general, her words were supreme and no one could refute her. This was only natural, this was the rule of the devil sect.
Even if she wanted Qin Wentian to be a slave, Qin Wentian would still have to do as she said.
The devil sect was extremely cruel. If one wanted to live longer, they might even have to hide their talent or they might be treated as enemies of the higher-ups and be killed.
"Reporting to general, this person came from the immortal realms and isn't a devil cultivator." Qian Shan spoke. This caused the beautiful eyes of Lu Xuejia who was preparing to leave to flash as she stared at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. However, her expression returned to normal an instant later as she calmly spoke, "Several days ago, an immortal Wu Xiu from the immortal realms came to the Northern Devil Palace. It's said that his strength is extremely strong, able to fight against peak-stage devil-foundation experts. To think that I actually have an immortal Wu Xiu as my subordinate now."
After speaking, she turned and spoke, "Come up. From today onwards, you should temporarily familiarize yourself with the rules."
Qin Wentian frowned. An immortal Wu Xiu from the Northern Devil Palace was here as well?
Was this a coincidence? Or could it be that Wu Xiu was one of the people who entered the Myriad Devil Islands together with him? Could it be someone from his side or someone from the Skymist Immortal Emperor's side?
They passed through the devil gate at the same time. Although they might arrive at different locations, they shouldn't be too far away. There was a high possibility that there were others on this island.
Qin Wentian, just like that, mysteriously became Lu Xuejia's devil knight, equivalent to her personal attendant.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they come. Although Qin Wentian was arrogant, he wasn't a virtuous and virtuous person. Since he came to the Myriad Devil Islands, he had to adapt to everything here. If he still thought that he was still in the Immortal Qianbian Gate, he would most probably die here sooner or later.
Hence, even if he had to stand outside the devil hall as a guard, Qin Wentian would still accept it.
It was just that he would occasionally glance at the devil hall, revealing the ambition in his heart. Since he joined the Blackstone Devil Sect, he naturally had to have a high position or what was the point of staying here.
Becoming a devil general was the next thing he needed to do.
Today, Qin Wentian stood guard outside the devil hall. He saw two devil-path experts entering and after that, intense sounds of battle rang out. The people at the side were already used to it and clearly knew what was happening inside.
"That's right. As my protectors, you guys have to assist me in the devil ranking battle. If you can obtain a good ranking, I will definitely reward you heavily." Lu Xuejia's voice rang out. Qin Wentian's expression flickered, he had heard of the devil ranking battle before.
Within the Devil Sect, the 28 Devil Generals under the Four Great Devil Monarchs represented the 28 major forces, and they had to be ranked.
It was said that the higher the ranking a devil general was, the greater their authority would be. In addition, they would also be able to obtain special rewards from the devil king.
Lu Xuejia was ranked # 9 among the twenty-eight devil generals.
An instant later, Lu Xuejia brought the two of them out. At this moment, Lu Xuejia was clad in a tight-fitting black robe that accentuated her alluring figure. In addition to the fact that she had put on some makeup, her entire person exuded an aura of heroism, dainty and capable. Qin Wentian cast a few more glances at her.
"BOOM!" Abruptly, an ice-cold aura bore down on Qin Wentian. The eyes of the man beside Lu Xuejia gleamed with a terrifying devil light as he coldly stared at Qin Wentian, "Dig out your own eyes."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, staring at the man who spoke. This man's cultivation base was equivalent to the ninth-level of immortal-foundation and his aura was extremely powerful.
"Why?" Qin Wentian counter-asked.
"How can a devil general be profaned by your gaze? You actually dare to ask why? Dig out your own eyes and cut off your tongue." That devil expert spoke again, exuding a tyrannical aura.
Qin Wentian had indeed cast a few more glances at Lu Xuejia's body. This person wanted him to dig out his own eyes.
The actions of devil cultivators were truly unbridled, doing whatever they wanted to do.
Lu Xuejia also halted her steps. She stared ahead and didn't say anything, as though what happened behind her had nothing to do with her.
"I only have admiration for devil generals, what profanity is there? As for you, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to make me dig out my own eyes?" Qin Wentian's voice was ice cold.
"BOOM!" A terrifying devil might of darkness instantly erupted forth. Black light converged into a fearsome devil saber of darkness. His opponent didn't say anything more. A terrifying saber light of darkness slashed out, slashing towards Qin Wentian. If it struck, Qin Wentian would definitely die on the spot.
To the experts of the Devil Sect, killing people seemed to be an insignificant matter. This kind of cruelty was something that would often happen.
Qin Wentian's eyes were ice cold. His aura instantly gushed forth as fiendgod light circulated around him. His fearsome Divine Physique manifested, shining resplendently as ancient characters appeared on the screen of light. When the saber slashed down, it actually sank into the screen of light and directly shattered apart.
However, this didn't seem to affect his opponent's emotions at all. An even more powerful devil might erupted forth. This time around, he wielded the devil saber in his hand and when he slashed down, a hurricane manifested. The incomparably sharp devil saber directly nibbled away the defense of the screen of light, wanting to kill Qin Wentian on the spot.
