Was the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan powerful?
Of course he was. If not, he wouldn't be able to sit on the position of the third-ranked devil general.
However, with just a single strike, he was annihilated. The powerful third-ranked devil general stood at the top of the devil path, exuding arrogance that no one could climb. Yet when Qin Wentian appeared before him, he only needed a single strike to blast him off the divine altar and even killed him.
Such a shock wave caused the entire devil sect to fall into silence. Only the gazes of everyone were fixedly staring in a direction.
Over there, Qin Wentian walked up the broken staircase, quietly floating there. His powerful aura was retracted but just by standing there, he already exuded a sense of imposingness.
Juyu's heart trembled intensely. She had thought that Qin Wentian might be very powerful or he wouldn't dare to say that he would bring her here. But she didn't dare to imagine that Qin Wentian would be so powerful to the extent where he could insta-kill Zong Yan. In that case, how could he be so low-profile during the devil ranking battle?
She remembered that Qin Wentian had asked her before if she needed his help to challenge the devil generals. At that time, she rejected because she felt that she wasn't qualified enough. She also felt that it was fine for Qin Wentian to fight the protectors but it would be extremely difficult for him to fight against the devil generals. But at this moment, she understood the weight of Qin Wentian's words. If she had nodded her head back then, she simply didn't dare to imagine what would have happened next.
Seems like back then, the first-ranked devil knight's obstruction, their attitude and her injuries had completely infuriated Qin Wentian, resulting in such a terrifying battle.
Those subordinates of Juyu who hadn't been killed yet were all trembling in fear. Their countenances were as pale as paper. Back then when Qin Wentian brought Juyu away from the devil ranking battle, they all betrayed him because of a single sentence from Zong Yan.
But at this moment, Qin Wentian brought Juyu and directly killed his way to the third-ranked devil palace. Just like how the second-ranked devil general, the Blood Butcher, massacred the third-ranked devil palace.
"We pay our respects to the devil general." It was unknown who reacted first as he called out. In an instant, the hearts of everyone trembled.
Yes, they were so shocked that they seemed to have forgotten that from now on, Qin Wentian was the third-ranked devil general.
"Greetings, Devil General." A series of voices rang out.
"I pay my respects to the devil general."
Gradually, these voices converged into a torrent, echoing throughout the entire palace. Terrifying sound waves rose into the air, spreading far into the distance.
At this moment, everyone bowed down and stared at the young man floating in the air as if they were worshipping a saint.
From now onwards, he was the third-ranked devil general.
The two guards outside were so frightened that their countenances turned pale. They knelt on one knee and stared at the interior of the palace with sincerity in their eyes. They thought that Qin Wentian and Juyu were here to court death. But at this moment, they understood that they were wrong.
The young man who walked in from the entrance was none other than the third-ranked devil general.
Qin Wentian surveyed the surroundings. Although his eyes were calm, they were filled with a supreme imposingness in the eyes of everyone. Nobody dared to match his gaze. Those who acted against Qin Wentian before were all trembling in fear. Broken pieces of land could be seen on the ground, and there were even traces of fresh blood. It was a terrifying sight.
Right now, they had no hesitation. As long as Qin Wentian waved his hand, blood would flow like a river.
"Juyu." Qin Wentian didn't look at anyone. He was staring at Juyu instead.
"Here." Juyu spoke in a clear voice, completely immersing herself in her role. She wasn't a devil general, she was the protector of the third-ranked devil general, Qin Wentian.
"You can decide how to deal with those traitors. Everything that happens next will be handled by you." Qin Wentian spoke to Juyu.
"Yes, devil general." Juyu nodded. After that, she only saw Qin Wentian turning and walking towards the devil palace. There were still people bowing beside him. Everywhere Qin Wentian passed by, there was only silence, only reverence.
The new third-ranked devil general, Qin Wentian, killed the previous third-ranked devil general Zong Yan with a single strike. Clearly, his strength wasn't just on a single level.
Zong Yan didn't manage to surpass the position of the Blood Butcher. But maybe, Qin Wentian would be able to do so. In the future, this devil palace might even become the residence of the second-ranked devil general.
Qin Wentian entered the majestic devil hall. Two rows of powerful devil weapons could be seen on both sides of the hall. These were all weapons belonging to the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan. Right in front of him, there was a majestic devil throne.
Behind the throne, there was a secret door. Qin Wentian walked over and opened it. After that, he saw many treasures inside. Some of them belonged to Zong Yan, but there were also many inheritance treasures belonging to other devil generals. For example, some powerful devil arts and innate techniques. As long as one became a devil general, they would be able to freely read and cultivate them.
Drawing in a deep breath, Qin Wentian stabilized the fluctuations of his aura. Earlier, although the battle ended in the blink of an eye, that tyrannical attack at the end had exhausted a great deal of his energy. The treasured cauldron was a fusion of the eight supreme demonic arts, augmented by God's Hand, as well as a wisp of immortal-king might. With such tyrannical strength, it was only normal for Zong Yan to be insta-killed.
Even for Huang Shatian back then when he was in the Sacred Academy, such an attack would at the very least be able to heavily injure him.
As for that trace of immortal-king might, Qin Wentian had already comprehended it during the last lecture he gave in the Sacred Academy. At that time, he didn't merely break through to the seventh-level of immortal-foundation.
Qin Wentian walked to the bookshelf and browsed through the devil arts and innate techniques. Although he was Wu Xiu of the immortal realms and cultivated immortal energy, immortals and devils were interlinked. There wasn't too great of a difference between them, it was just that their attributes were different. Hence, it was still very easy for him to browse through these devil arts and innate techniques. He wanted to see if there was anything he could learn from them.
As for cultivating these devil arts, there was no need for him to do so. Qin Wentian himself was extremely powerful. God's Hand, in addition to the perfection of the mirror screen in the Tiandao Sacred Academy back then, how could the innate techniques and innate techniques of a mere devil general from the Blackstone Devil Sect be able to compare to them?
However, Qin Wentian was still extremely serious as he browsed through the books. The immortal and devil daos were mutually corroborating each other, allowing him to gain some insights.
The sound of footsteps rang out from outside. After Juyu made the arrangements outside, she walked in and stood below the devil hall.
"Come on in, there's no need for you to be so polite." Qin Wentian's voice rang out. Only then did Juyu step past the devil throne and came to Qin Wentian's side.
"The cultivation arts and innate techniques here should be stronger compared to what you cultivated, right?" Qin Wentian inclined his head and asked Juyu.
"The collection of the third-ranked devil general is naturally much stronger compared to the last-ranked devil general." Juyu nodded.
"In the future, this place will be yours. There's no need for me to agree, you can just come and go as you please." Qin Wentian smiled at Juyu, causing Juyu's eyes to freeze as she stared at Qin Wentian. However, she couldn't see through him. His smiling eyes were so deep that there was no bottom to them. What sort of person was he exactly?
Earlier, the tyrannical Qin Wentian caused her to feel fear and respect. But now, he was so calm, causing her to feel as though she was bathing in the spring breeze.
It was the same person, but there was actually such a huge difference when he was chatting and when he was fighting. This should be his innate charm.
His enemies would have to endure the most tyrannical anger while his friends would be able to enjoy the warm smile of the spring breeze.
"Although I'm a devil general, you will be in charge of everything in this devil palace in the future. In addition, I need you to help me with something." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Okay." Juyu nodded. Seems like her decision wasn't wrong. Following Qin Wentian as a protector, her authority was indeed greater compared to the last-ranked devil general. Qin Wentian would hand everything to her. Other than the name, there was no difference between her and the third-ranked devil general.
"I will transmit my immortal sense to you." Qin Wentian spoke. After that, a strand of his immortal sense pierced into the center of Juyu's brows. "Have you memorized the names of these hundred people?"
"Mhm." Juyu nodded.
"Use the influence of the devil sect to search for them. If you find them, invite them to come to the Blackstone Devil Sect to meet me. Just say that Qin Wentian is looking for them and you will understand." Qin Wentian instructed. "I will show you some more people."
As he spoke, Qin Wentian used his immortal sense to transmit the image of a hundred people to Juyu's mind. "If you discover any of them, don't startle them. Just come back and report to me."
"Yes, I will do my best to complete this matter." Juyu nodded. Qin Wentian nodded lightly.
This was the reason why he wanted to join the Blackstone Devil Sect and become a devil general. The strength of a single person was limited. If he wanted to find the people on this island, he had to borrow the help of external forces.
The adjudication battle merely sent them to the devil islands. They could use any methods they wanted. This wasn't a simple contest of strength.
...
The news of what happened in the third-ranked devil general's residence began to circulate throughout the Blackstone Devil Sect. First, it circulated to the northern regions before spreading to the other three devil sects.
In the past, in the ninth-ranked devil palace, which was also the devil palace Lu Xuejia was in, a figure could be seen frantically rushing towards the direction of the devil palace.
"I seek an audience with the devil general." This person's voice was trembling. After that, a voice rang out, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, devil general." That person replied. After that, in the air above the stairway, the beautiful figure of Lu Xuejia appeared. She stared down at the person below as she coldly spoke, "Your state of heart seems to be unstable. Speak, what happened?"
That person bowed, not daring to look at Lu Xuejia in the eyes. He then spoke, "Reporting to devil general, last-ranked devil general Qin Wentian brought Protector Juyu to the third-ranked devil palace to challenge the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan."
"Courting death?" Lu Xuejia's eyes flashed as she stared at the horizons.
That person below trembled even more violently when he heard her words. He then continued, "Qin Wentian massacred the third-ranked devil palace. Not long after, sounds of people greeting the devil general rang out from the third-ranked devil palace. It's said that the original third-ranked devil general Zong Yan died in battle and Qin Wentian succeeded the position of the third-ranked devil general."
"BOOM!" A fearsome coldness gushed forth from Lu Xuejia, as though she couldn't suppress it any longer. Her countenance turned pale as her body trembled.
"Can you say that again?" Lu Xuejia's voice trembled.
"Qin Wentian killed Zong Yan and succeeded the position of the third-ranked devil general." That person continued. Lu Xuejia's body trembled slightly, as though she found this unbelievable.
Qin Wentian was once her protector.
Not only Lu Xuejia found this hard to believe, the entire Blackstone Devil Sect, when the devil generals in the other devil palaces heard this news, all of them felt their hearts trembling. Waves of commotion rose up in the Blackstone Devil Sect!
