Chapter 566 - 462: Lord One-Tail Is This Powerful? A Casual Annihilation? (Part 2)

That’s right. He didn’t believe One-tailed had destroyed the mining area alone. After all, with her petite frame and disposition, she looked like an ant he could crush with a flick of his fingers. He was certain there had to be other members of the Demon Race in the mining area.

When his superior, a branch Ancestor in Celestial Wolf City, sensed the auras of the dead demons from the mining area, he had flown into a rage. He also surmised that whoever dared to raid the mine had to be close to the Perfection stage, a realm above Spirit Control. Furthermore, they must have wielded a great number of Secret Techniques and Magical Treasures, and there couldn’t have been just a few of them.

After all, if their numbers were small, how could they have possibly slaughtered several thousand members of the Celestial Wolf Race without leaving a single one alive?

Therefore, the Demon Race members who seized the mining area had to be numerous. That was why the higher-ups had dispatched this group of experts to rush here and slaughter the enemy.

Of course, sending just him—an existence above the Spirit Control Realm—to lead the team wasn’t a foolproof plan. So, he also carried an Array Disc capable of activating the great Array in this region. If he encountered an unbeatable foe, he was prepared to destroy this entire mining area!

The destruction, of course, would be superficial, primarily targeting the enemy; it wouldn’t have a huge impact on the mining operations. An Array like this could heavily injure or even kill not just an ordinary Transformation Realm cultivator, but even one at the Perfect Transformation Realm!

Thus, the inherently arrogant Celestial Wolf Race was acting with impunity. Right now, for instance, he looked at this little girl with disdain. She was a tiny thing, not even reaching his chest. He could kill her with a single kick.

In fact, by his perception, the aura of the Squirrel Demon hastily running down the cliff in the distance felt much stronger than One-tailed’s. But anyone with discerning eyes could see that the squirrel was just a mining demon, a former criminal of the Celestial Wolf Race with no significant Cultivation.

"My master needed to ask for directions here, but your people attacked without a word. We had no choice but to kill them all."

One-tailed spoke flatly, as if describing a mundane event. In her eyes, her master’s command was everything. Most other things were not worth thinking about unless they piqued her curiosity.

’That was exactly what happened back then. Master didn’t know the way to Celestial Wolf City. He happened to sense the dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm here and thought he might have arrived. But when he came here, he was immediately attacked by the strongest guard of the mining area at the time—a Great Dominator above the Spirit Control Realm.’

’After that, more members of the Celestial Wolf Race seemed about to surround them, so there was no other choice. They had to kill them all. And they had to eradicate them root and stem; even the members of the Celestial Wolf Race who didn’t participate in the initial attack were treated the same and slaughtered.’

’They had no time to listen to any justifications for their actions. Ah Xiong, Nine-tailed Fox, and herself—each could annihilate tens or even hundreds of the Celestial Wolf Race in an instant. They had no desire to hear their excuses.’

’There was no other reason. Seeing so many members of the Demon Race imprisoned here, stripped of their freedom and forced to mine, had already left a bad taste in their mouths. Naturally, they weren’t going to give them a chance to explain themselves. Besides, the master had already given the order.’

’And just like that, the mining area was wiped clean. Now it was just a mining area, with no Celestial Wolf Race to be found. Only now had these thirty-some experts from the Celestial Wolf Race arrived. Their leader seemed much more powerful than the previous guard who was above the Spirit Control Realm. He also appeared to wield some technique that made even her, at the Perfect Transformation Realm, feel a sense of dread.’

’Yes, it was precisely because she sensed the great threat from this group that she hadn’t attacked immediately. She felt that they held some powerful, unknown means that could disrupt her master’s Cultivation.’

But the Celestial Wolf Race member above the Spirit Control Realm didn’t care about her concerns. He heard her last sentence and flew into a rage. "What did you say? Asking for directions!"

’Asking for directions? Who would believe an excuse like that!’

The mining area was not a place outsiders could set foot in. Its security level was extremely high. This was common knowledge. Any member of the Demon Race who had spent time in Celestial Wolf City knew of the Celestial Wolf Race’s authority. Who would dare go to the mining area to ask for directions?

Moreover, even powerful demons from other Demon Race cities would have been warned. Everyone should understand the significance of a mining area to a Demon Race!

No matter which Demon Race city they came from, none could be ignorant of the simple principle that one shouldn’t wander near a mining area. And yet, this little girl before him could spin such a lie so casually, as if she genuinely didn’t know the rules. He almost believed her!

’The only ones who wouldn’t know the rules of the mining area would be wild demons—those who grew up fighting and surviving in the outer territories.’

There were many such demons, and indeed, every year, quite a few would accidentally wander past the mining area. But their Realms were never high; they could be killed with a casual swat, so whether they knew the rules was irrelevant.

One had to understand that the strongest one could become in the outer territories was the Transformation Realm, like the Golden Eagle Ancestor. But in reality, a True Dominator like the Golden Eagle Ancestor had connections to Celestial Wolf City and understood the rules very well.

Therefore, no one from the Golden Eagle Race’s bloodline would dare offend the Celestial Wolf Race. They would surely have been ordered not to approach the mining area. That left only the reckless, rootless demons who would force their way in.

Take the Eight Great Dominators, for example, or the Nine-tailed Fox. They had only heard vague rumors about Celestial Wolf City. What could they possibly understand?

Naturally, they understood nothing. And their own Realms weren’t particularly outstanding in Celestial Wolf City. For example, he, the leader of this group and an existence above the Spirit Control Realm, could kill all Eight Great Dominators by himself!

The gap in their heritage was simply too vast. Celestial Wolf City was naturally superior to the numerous outer Demon Races. This status also determined their arrogant nature.

He refused to believe that a Demon Race member from the outer territories could appear out of thin air, surpass the Spirit Control Realm, and still not know the rules. After all, the cultivation limit for a normal wild demon in their lifetime was usually just above the Spirit Control Realm—the level of a Great Dominator.

And that level wasn’t uncommon in Celestial Wolf City. He himself was one, and he had even mastered cultivation subjects like the Path of Array. His system was relatively complete. Therefore, he dismissed the little girl One-tailed’s words as utter nonsense.

’Asking for directions was just an excuse. The truth is they came to seize the mining area!’

The higher-ups had been trying to figure out which Demon Race was so bold, and who was pulling the strings from behind. They had delayed sending anyone, hoping to uncover some clues. Unfortunately, no clues were found. No Spirit Stones were being transported out of the mining area; it seemed to have become an isolated island.

This was a very strange phenomenon. The higher-ups couldn’t wait any longer and decided to come and reclaim the mining area directly. And so, this Celestial Wolf Race member above the Spirit Control Realm had come with his men.

Seeing that the little girl, One-tailed, had no intention of moving, he lost his patience. With a casual wave, he unleashed a claw attack that tore through the air. Under normal circumstances, it could instantly shred a Spirit Control Realm Level demon to pieces. But as the crimson claw mark lunged toward One-tailed’s face, her snow-white hair swayed gently backward. Her placid, ruby-like eyes reflected the image of the thirty-plus Celestial Wolf Race experts disintegrating into fragments.

The thirty-some members of the Celestial Wolf Race all fell apart, collapsing to the ground. Blood mixed with the soil in dead silence. The scene stunned the Squirrel Demon, who had just arrived. She was speechless, her pupils constricting. "They... they’re all dead? Just like that?"

’She had seen One-tailed slaughter the Celestial Wolf Race before, but back then, she was just cleaning up some Spirit Control Realm members who weren’t that strong. But this time, she could see that the leader was above the Spirit Control Realm. His fine, embroidered robes clearly indicated his high status and formidable power!’

’In other words, below the branch Ancestors, he was one of the strongest experts of his time!’

’In the future, he might even have become a branch Ancestor himself—a true genius. But in the blink of an eye, he was reduced to a pile of body parts...’

’It was hard to imagine just how powerful Lord One-tailed truly was!’

’Then the one whom even the great lord called "Master"... how powerful must he be?!’
