Heavenly Emperor
Zou Clan
The Second Layer of the Sage Realm
Buying and selling human slaves in the city made Ren Yuu and Zi Ling understand that the Sage Realm seemed to have planned something.
Even for Ren Yuu to have speculated why the rulers of the second to seventh layer of the Sage Realm did not open the gates connecting all the places so that no intruders would know about their plans.
After taking a deep breath because he had thought about the crazy plans of the demons, Ren Yuu immediately walked back. Zi Ling also ignored the humans being sold because she knew for sure that it was not the time to try to save them all. If they were to try to make a move at this time, they would probably cause unimportant trouble.
“Let's find information in this city. Although it might be from the words Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign the Second Layer of the Sage Realm did not have many useful places to increase strength, perhaps after the passage of time, there would be interesting places here. After all, apart from that, we can use the Demon Crystals to increase the power.” Ren Yuu said as he continued walking and gazed to a very far place, right on a very large building located in the center of the city.
The huge building was towering up to the end of the place separating the First Layer and the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
“Ren Yuu, what do you think that place is?” Zi Ling asked curiously looking towards the building that looked like a pole because it was too far away. If it is close, it can be ascertained that the building is very large.
“The place where the ruler of this city lives.” said Ren Yuu as he released his spiritual power subtly to look for a certain place.
After walking for a long time while continuing to track down all the places in the city without being realized by the demons, Ren Yuu also found a place where information sales were supposed to be.
“Come Zi Ling, it is certain that even in the Sage Realm, there will be an information selling place. Here's what we need right now.” Ren Yuu said as he slowly walked towards a building that looked like a restaurant and inn.
When Ren Yuu and Zi Ling walked into the building, many demons gazed at the two for a moment and ignored them. The two also continued to march and Ren Yuu led Zi Ling to an ordinary-looking door.
But some demons came in and out of that place. The other demons who saw Ren Yuu and Zi Ling go towards the door, they understood that the two were trying to buy information.
When passing through the door, the place that Ren Yuu suspected from the beginning was where the information sales were in the basement.
Not only in the human world, in the demon world, the sale of information must be the best business among other businesses to collect wealth or resources.
**
The city that Ren Yuu and Zi Ling entered first in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm was the city of Death.
There was a certain reason the city was referred to as the City of Death. One of them, that was because the city leader had a very strong death attribute.
In the center of the city of Death, precisely in the highest building of the City of Death, there were several figures standing on the outskirts of the top floor courtyard.
The one standing at the very front was the current Mayor of Death City. While the other two demons behind him were his two confidants.
“Master, the high-level slaves have been obtained. Will we start the ritual?” Ask one of the demons to the Mayor of the City of Death.
The mayor of the City of Death named Zou Jiang was silent for some time as he gazed towards the distance. After a while, he finally spoke, “Before performing the ritual, I have received a message from Bi, that there is an intruder entering the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.”
“Includers?” The two subordinates of Zou Jiang's trust named Zou Di and Zou Rong were shocked instantly. Of course the two would be surprised because it had been a very long time that no one had managed to infiltrate the Sage Realm, what else is the Sage Realm Layer.
“Yes, there are two cultivators from outside who came to the Sage Realm. From the information received, both of them were able to transform into demons even for Tier Divine God demons unable to track them down. Aside from the two of them, there were four powerful souls coming to the Second Layer of the Sage Realm. Aside from that, there is one strange woman, she looks like a demon mixed with humans.” Zou Jiang said.
The information about Ren Yuu's group directly reached the ears of the upper echelons in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm. But they forgot one figure, namely Xu Han.
“Is there a picture about them?” Ask Zou Di.
“Yes, but for those two cultivators, they easily changed their appearance in the form of a Devil so it must have been very difficult to track him down. Focus on the others, but for those two cultivators, sooner or later they would appear. After all, we can ask for the help of the Soul Devils because they can directly distinguish humans and demons.”, said Zou Jiang.
“But the Devil Soul..” Zou Rong stopped his words as he deeply doubted whether the soul demons would be willing to cooperate after the new policy in the Second to Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm changed.
Zou Jiang was also speechless because it was true that because very few souls were brought by Soul Devils into the Soul Palace, it made the population of Demon Souls decrease drastically because they only survived the souls they sent to the reincarnation cycle.
“Try to ask for cooperation with them in exchange for souls strong enough just for information. Zou Di, this task I leave to you. And to track down the other intruders, this task I leave to you, Zou Rong.” Zou Jiang said in an indifferent tone.
“Good.” Zou Rong and Zou Di left immediately after receiving orders.
To Zou Jiang, he gazed towards the distance and thought of some certain things.
“Will there be a chance to take the position of ruler of the Bi Clan?” Inner Zou Jiang after thinking about the intruder. There were two ways that he thought, which was to help intruders if they wanted to enter the Third Layer of the Sage Realm, it was certain that the Bi Clan would be eliminated from the throne. The second way is to catch the intruders alone. That way, he could blame the Bi Clan for not competently performing the task.
Although it seemed that the demons wanted to work together to create their own army, in fact it was a long-term plan because there had been no instructions from the Seventh Layer leader of the Sage Realm. Since there was no clarity about the cooperation of attacking humans, it was better to compete to take the throne in the Sage Realm Layer because with it, it was better to compete to take the throne, it was certain that the strength in the leader of the Sage Realm Layer would increase very quickly if used properly.
And as for Zou Jiang, if he managed to become the leader of the Second Layer of the Sage Realm, then he would become strong faster than the Leaders of every Layer of the Sage Realm expected.
