A Demon's Journey

While they were on their way, Azaroth didn't just talk to these women. He was also dealing with another matter.

This was actually related to the order he had given to Sargan. Azaroth had ordered Sargan to investigate Dylan Ross.

Sargan had personally gone to Dylan's town intending to plant informers who would report to him on Dylan's every move.

While Azaroth was flying towards the Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect's battlefield, Sargan had contacted him urgently with the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring.

"Master, I have failed to plant any informers or spies within this guy's group." Azaroth received this message immediately.

On the surface, Azaroth's facial expression didn't change, but he was truly startled by this information.

He asked Sargan a moment later, "What is the issue? Did you find no person in that town who would watch Dylan and report you about his movements? That's impossible!"

He instantly heard Sargan's response, "That's not the case, master. I actually found many people willing to do this task. However, even after two days passed, none of them contacted me. I returned to the town and found out that all the people who had agreed to my offer had all been slaughtered by Dylan!"

"It seemed as if he had found out that they were spies. I don't understand how he could have known that." Sargan's voice told Azaroth just how shocked he was.

Sargan had recruited nearly 20 individuals who would keep an eye on Dylan's movements. They were all ordinary people who had some relations with Dylan's force.

It was normally impossible to suspect any of them. However, within a day, Dylan had found these spies and even decisively executed them.

"What about your hypnosis technique? Did you try it on someone?" Azaroth asked after a long pause.

Sargan replied instantly, "I already tried it. It seemed that Dylan sensed the hypnosis and easily dispersed it. Fortunately, I had kept my face hidden, or this man would have known my appearance and would be hunting for me right now."

Azaroth was somewhat startled to hear Sargan's words. However, it further solidified his guess that this Dylan wasn't normal.

There were many methods Azaroth knew to find spies. However, several of those methods would require a long time. It was clear that Dylan didn't use that method.

The fact that Dylan could find the hypnotized spy and disperse the hypnosis wasn't anything too unbelievable for Azaroth. It meant either he possessed a sharp Spiritual Energy or had the assistance of a Spiritual Being.

If it was the assistance of a Spiritual Creature, that would explain a lot of things. Unfortunately, Azaroth couldn't go there and verify his guesses.

"Have you tried approaching him?" Azaroth asked.

Sargan thought for some seconds before he responded, "…I didn't dare to approach him because he gives me a very threatening feeling. It is as if he would attack me as soon as he sees me."

"That's also true. If he possesses the assistance of a Spiritual Being and that person recognizes your true identity as a demon, Dylan will instantly attack you," Azaroth spoke.

"What should I do, master?" Sargan asked him for advice.

In reality, even Azaroth was a little stumped over what Sargan could do. He felt that the reason this man could find all their spies wasn't just because of his abilities but also the mysterious power of fate.

The mysterious power of fate was preventing Azaroth from gathering information and manipulating this man.

As of now, Azaroth knew the only way to suppress fate was through pure power. He had never expected fate to interfere even during schemes.

Even he was puzzled how he should deal with this mysterious power of fate in this situation. And if he was puzzled, there was no way for Sargan to succeed.

However, Azaroth also didn't want to give up like this. He told Sargan, "Stay there and look for more information. Don't try to implant informers there, but instead actively look for information and change your location regularly. If there is an urgent situation, contact me. I will handle it."

Sargan's eyes immediately brightened as he received this order. He had been a little dispirited that he had failed master.

But now, he realized that Azaroth had somewhat expected this to occur. Thus, he had received this order.

He was quite confident in his ability to flee. During this time, Sargan had observed Dylan from afar and knew that although this fellow was quite strong, Dylan's speed was still lower than this own.

Moreover, if Dylan used his Nether Devil God Mantra, he would immediately be able to flare up his combat ability.

It was just that he was somewhat fearful of using his Demonic Ardor within this kingdom. He knew that if the human experts realized that there was a demon here, they would try their best to capture him or straight away kill him.

There was a chance that even Azaroth couldn't save him at that moment. So, Sargan wanted to prevent this situation from occurring.

On that very same day, Sargan returned to Yabert Town. Dylan could currently be considered the Yabert town's lord. He didn't have the official title, but he possessed the power and prestige.

It was even higher than the true town lord of the Yabert Town. That man didn't dare to go against Dylan.

Sargan heard from the local citizens that originally, this town lord had bullied Dylan quite a bit.

In fact, Dylan's own family didn't favor him all that much. They actually considered him as trash. His mother had been forced to live in the outskirts of the family villa.

She was also bullied by the other women in the family. Although Dylan's family couldn't be considered a prestigious clan that possessed a great reputation within the Glerian Kingdom, but in this small region, they still held some power and inheritance.

The battle for inheritance was especially fierce in that family.

One day, Dylan was thrown in some sort of cave nearby. Sargan felt it was best to investigate that cave. Maybe he could find some clue regarding Dylan's power.

Even though Dylan was merely at the peak of the 3 Star Rank, he gave Sargan a lot of pressure.

This wasn't a pressure that Dylan generated through his aura. Dylan's aura couldn't compare to that of Sargan's aura.

Sargan felt a kind of deathly pressure from Dylan. He felt that as long as Dylan attacked him, he would definitely die.

This kind of pressure was something he had only sensed from Azaroth.

However, Azaroth's cultivation was far above him, so it was only natural for him to sense this kind of feeling from Azaroth. It confused him why he sensed this feeling from Dylan.

Sargan entered the cave and found that it was empty. There was no clue regarding Dylan's outburst of talent.

Sargan then suddenly activated the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring. He felt that even if he couldn't find anything by observing this place, Azaroth would be different. He would definitely find some hidden secret.

Soon, Azaroth's Spiritual Figure took shape in that cave. The cave was now glowing with the blue light created that was radiated from Azaroth's spiritual figure.

Sargan immediately spoke, "Master, this is the cave Dylan entered and returned as a changed man!"

Azaroth's Spiritual Figure looked around and suddenly began to laugh, "Haha… So, that's what's going on."

"Eh? Did you find something, master? Please share it with me as well!" Sargan immediately requested Azaroth with a curious look.

"It's only natural that you didn't find anything strange. There are traces of Celestial Ardor filling up this cave. This location was an inheritance spot for an Angel. Moreover, it was a high-ranking angel who can be compared to a Demon Emperor in terms of strength." Azaroth spoke with a smile on his face.

"Ehh?!" Sargan was instantly shocked to hear those words.
