Chapter 2063: A Frightened Ox Devil

The Black Armored Guards’ strength was far inferior compared to the four meters tall monster.

“Humans are so weak!” The monster with a minotaur appearance was from the Ox Devil Clan in the Land of Exile. It was an elite warrior from the clan that had come to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land not too long ago. Before it arrived at the Azure Cloud Mansion, it had killed numerous people.

The Ox Devil had killed ordinary humans, Martial Cultivators, Dao Cultivators, and Devil Cultivators during its journey here. It had absorbed all their vital essences, effectively increasing its strength.

In the Land of Exile, cultivations resources were rare and the environment was not good. To increase their strength, devils had to devour other devils to absorb vital essence! The stronger a devil was, the more devils it had killed. If the devils cultivated by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Energy in their surroundings, it would take them a very long time to increase their strength.

As much as the devils opposed each other in the Land of Exile, they were united when they left the Land of Exile. They all shared common enemies whom they could devour vital essences from after all! They no longer had to kill each other.

During the Human-Devil Era, the devils had joined forces to invade the Saint Province Realm and slaughtered many humans. The Saint Province Realm only regained peace when the human powerhouses managed to chase the devils back to the Land of Exile and repair the space barrier. However, the survivors from that era would not forget the devils’ reign of terror.

‘Humans? He… Did he call us humans? Is it a Saint Beast?’ Many Black Armored Guards thought to themselves when they heard the monster’s words.

“It’s slightly stronger than the powerhouse from the Upper Province who came before this. Currently, we can only wait for Lord Commander to bring Lord Mansion Master here,” one of the Black Armored Army’s Centurions said solemnly.

“Lord Mansion Master!” The eyes of many Black Armored Guards brightened when the Mansion Master was mentioned. It was as though he was their lifebuoy and they were drowning.

Almost a month ago, the former Commander of the Black Armored Army had been killed. Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, had appointed Centurion Tong Zhong as the new Commander of the Black Armored Army. Nobody objected to it. Everyone was very happy with the decision.

Tong Zhong was the only Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse in the Black Armored Army, excluding the former Commander. It was only natural he would be appointed as the new Commander of the Black Armored Army.

Meanwhile, in the Main Mansion of the Azure Cloud Mansion. Tong Zhong finally found Duan Ru Feng and informed him of what was happening.

“A minotaur-like monster?!” Duan Ru Feng who was sitting on the main seat abruptly stood up when he heard Tong Zhong’s report.

Tong Zhong might not know what the minotaur-like monster was, but Duan Ru Feng who had inherited a legacy from the Devil Clan knew what the monster was. It was a member of the Ox Devil Clan in the Land of Exile!

“An Ox Devil trespassed into the Azure Cloud Mansion?” There was a hint of dread in Duan Ru Feng’s eyes as his expression turned grim.

Sou!

Following that, Duan Ru Feng waved his hand and brought Tong Zhong with him as he headed out. During the journey, he asked Tong Zhong, “How tall is the monster?”

“About four meters tall,” Tong Zhong replied after he took a moment to recall the monster’s height.

“About four meters tall?” Duan Ru Feng sighed in relief when he heard Tong Zhong’s words. With his current strength, he could, at most, summon a Saint Devil Puppet Land from the Saint Devil Altar in the Land of Exile that possessed the strength of a powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

If it was one of the elders from the Ox Devil Clan, Duan Ru Feng doubted he would be a match for it even if he summoned a Saint Devil Puppet and used the Super Saint Weapon, the Asura Saber!

Duan Ru Feng sighed in relief because he knew an Ox Devil about four meters tall only possessed a cultivation base at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It did not pose a threat to him at all.

‘However, how did a member of the Ox Devil clan appear in the Dao Martial Saint Land? Could it be because Dugu and I had broken through to the Quintessential Saint Stage and we’ve affected the stability of the space barrier when we absorbed the pure Devil Qi from the Land of Exile?’ Duan Ru Feng’s expression turned grave when he thought of this.

Previously, Duan Ru Feng and Dugu had intentionally suppressed their cultivation base and maintained it at the Exemplary Saint Stage instead of breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage was because they needed to absorb pure Devil Qi from the Land of Exile to perfectly break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage since they cultivated the legacies from the Devil Clan. Although no physical damage was done to the space barrier, it would affect its stability.

‘Perhaps, the matter of me summoning a Saint Devil Puppet almost a month ago has also worsened the situation,’ Duan Ru Feng thought to himself.

An Ox Devil had managed to pass through the space barrier into the Dao Martial Saint Land. Did this mean all devils would be able to cross over to the Dao Martial Saint Land as well?

If that was the case, did this not mean that he and Dugu were the cause of the calamity that would befall the Dao Martial Saint Land?

Duan Ru Feng’s expression darkened. Naturally, he did not feel guilty even if he was really the cause of the calamity. If he did not absorb the pure Devil Qi from the Land of Exile to perfectly break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, he would not have been able to master the technique of summoning a Saint Devil Puppet from the Land of Exile. If he did not master this technique, the Azure Cloud Mansion would have ceased to exist a month ago. Not only that, but he and his family and friends would be used by Li An, an elder from the Fire Worship Sect, to harm his son, Duan Ling Tian. Therefore, he did not feel guilty even if he was indeed the cause of the devils’ invasion in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Duan Ru Feng would do anything for his son, his wife, his daughters-in-law, and his grandchild. He was not afraid even if he had to bear such a heavy sin. In his heart, his family was the most important.

“Lord Mansion Master!”

“Lord Mansion Master!”

When Duan Ru Feng rushed outside the Main Mansion of the Azure Cloud Mansion with Tong Zhong, the group of Black Armored Guards was filled with joy when they saw him. It was as though they had seen their savior.

Faced with the excited Black Armored Guards, Duan Ru Feng felt heavy-hearted. At this moment, he felt the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Under the watchful eyes of the Black Armored Guards, Duan Ru Feng put Tong Zhong down and stood in front of the Black Armored Guards. In their eyes, Duan Ru Feng’s back seemed extremely straight. At this moment, they felt extremely safe.

“How did you come from the Land of Exile?” Duan Ru Feng asked the Ox Devil that was four meters tall.

“Human, you have no right to question me!” The Ox Devil said contemptuously when it heard Duan Ru Feng’s question.

“Is that so?” Duan Ru Feng narrowed his eyes when he heard the Ox Devil’s words. He instantly cast the technique to summon a Saint Devil Puppet from the Saint Devil Altar in the Land of Exile.

When the Saint Devil Puppet emerged from the whirlpool, the expression of disdain on the Ox Devil’s face was replaced with an expression of fear and disbelief.

“Saint…Saint Devil Puppet? You… You’re a mere human from the Saint Province Realm. You’re only at the Quintessential Saint Stage. How did you manage to summon a Saint Devil Puppet from the Exiled Realm?!”

At this moment, not only did the Ox Devil recognize the humanoid stone figure, but it discovered the Saint Devil Puppet was a lot stronger than it was. It was instantly frightened.

“That’s none of your business.” Duan Ru Feng smirked as he flew out and merged with the Saint Devil Puppet to control it.

The Ox Devil’s only thought was to flee when faced with the Saint Devil Puppet that was obviously a lot stronger than it was. It turned around in an attempt to escape at its fastest speed. It had to inform the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan about this.

There were people in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land who posed a threat to the elite warriors from the Ox Devil Clan.
