The Story Never Ends - Chapter 223
Seeing how easily the devil managed to fend off Trevor, all the demons became solemn. It seemed like the opponent was strong to the extent that someone as powerful as their Hall Master might not be his match.
Having these thoughts, all the Domain Realm demons surrounded him from every direction. They didn’t even wait for Trevor to order them as they knew what to do.
Trevor nodded in approval, not caring about his pride. He then gazed intently at Davion and asked, “Are you hell-bent on protecting them? Don’t you know that you will be offending us, the Heavenly Demon Sect, in this way?”
“Haha, Heavenly Demon Sect? Who the fuck are they?” Davion laughed arrogantly, turning their faces red and blue in anger.
“Presumptuous. Don’t you know how high the sky is? We Heavenly Demon Sect possess lots of Venerable Elders and even Saints. We are more influential and dangerous than all the sects in the world.” Trevor retorted back.
He couldn’t believe what he heard. After all, everyone would cower in fear when learning about the Heavenly Demon Sect. The same went for the members of the four major sects as well.
“Is that strong?” Davion scoffed in disdain, making them even more furious.
While Davion was catching their attention, Damon had already fled with his fellow elders and disciples. Not only that, but they had enough time to stop the flying artifact and pull back their Sect Master.
At the moment Zachary lay unconscious on the floor with his body riddled with holes and blood all over him. However, the surprising thing was that his important body parts were untouched.
“Sect Master should have used his wind blades to deflect those spears from his vital parts.” One of the elders explained.
“Indeed. He can survive this.” Damon took out some pills and forced them into his mouth.
Only then did he sigh in relief. “Let’s move. It would be troublesome if they still come after us.”
“Anyways, will we be returning here?” A woman elder inquired in a sad tone.
“Now that you have said it, I don’t think we can.”
“Although Senior appears to be terrifying, Demon Emperor Trevor is nothing to scoff at. I believe the Senior will find it extremely difficult to deal with him.”
“Furthermore, Senior is from the Devil Race. So, can we even trust him? I guess he might go easy on Trevor and let him escape.”
“Yeah, what would he even get from this battle?”
“Nonetheless, as a devil, there is a high possibility he might create havoc on our lands.”
The elders voiced their opinions in disappointment. They felt extremely weak and useless. They were reduced to a state where they had to leave their homes and depend on a devil to just secure their lives. It was too frustrating.
“So, where shall we go?” Damon didn’t like them talking behind the back of Senior. Shouldn’t they be grateful for saving their lives?
“Eh!” They glanced at each other, asking for an answer. They had never discussed this matter as they weren’t sure they could make it out alive.
Observing their expressions, Damon shook his head and suggested, “Let’s go and help the Holy Water Sect. Maybe we can ambush and catch the Heavenly Demon Sect off guard.”
“Good suggestion. We can ally with them. Plus, we can have our revenge as well. Moreover, with their help, we have a high probability of returning to the Sect.”
The elders discussed with each other and made up their minds. Currently, the Thunderbolt sect was safe and the other three middle-grade sects were in trouble. Since the Holy Water Sect was nearer to them, they naturally chose to go there without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Davion smiled when he noticed they had left. Noticing this, Trevor and his demons eventually couldn’t control themselves. Thus, they charged at him together.
“Don’t blame us for being ruthless,” Trevor yelled. Previously, he was thinking of avoiding the fight with him. But now, he changed his mind.
Even if he was an ancestor of the devil race who had a significantly higher cultivation base in the past, he was simply a Devil Emperor at present. Hence, there was nothing to fear.
“Intimidation” With the members of the Great Wind Sect gone, Davion could finally use his ultimate devil technique. This was because he couldn’t properly control its range.
When brown light flashed from the third eye of his human phantom, all the demons below the Domain Realm made a blood screeching cry and died in a couple of seconds.
Some automatically had their heads ripped apart, their hearts pulled out and even their body parts eaten. As for their superiors, they didn’t make a sound and simply woke up. Nevertheless, they weren’t in a good condition.
They were clutching their chests in pain with their robes dyed blood red. Only Colin and Trevor looked somewhat ok.
“It looks like you guys are qualified to die under my sword.” Davion declared haughtily while pulling out six longswords from his spirit ring. They seemed way tiny and out of place in his three pairs of gigantic hands.
Talking about these swords, they were some of the higher grade spiritual weapons he had obtained from the aftermath of the battle in the Demon Beast World.
“Damn, that was too scary!” Colin cursed in a low voice.
“We lost all our forces. I was building them for hundreds of years, just for this day.” Trevor clenched his teeth and cracked his knuckles.
“Are we still going to fight?” Colin didn’t have the confidence of winning as they fell into a disadvantage straight away. Besides, that devil appeared to be getting serious. If not, he wouldn’t have taken out his weapon.
Understanding his thoughts, Trevor furrowed his brows and contemplated.
“If I go all out, then we might have a high chance of winning. But I can’t be so confident.” Witnessing his previous mysterious spell, Trevor didn’t underestimate him.
Instead, he truly considered him as a monster from ancient times. It was due to the fact that he personally experienced his soul being dragged into a weird space without any resistance. On top of that, he had to face his inner demons there.
It was a terrifying and dangerous ability that he had never heard of in his life. Even the rumored Devil Sovereigns and Devil Saints didn’t seem to have such capability.
Also, how can someone like him not have a trump card? And last but not the least, how can they benefit from this pointless fight. After all, the members of the Great Wind Sect had long since left. Thus, he didn’t want to take the risk.
So, he politely cupped his fists and said, “Your Excellency, why don’t we put an end to this?”
“Eh!” Davion was amused. How could they give up this easily?
“Don’t you want to take revenge for your fellow demons I slew?” He pointed his swords towards their dead bodies.
Flames burned in Trevor’s eyes as he felt humiliated. But he didn’t flare up.
“Haha, who cares about these weaklings? Consider this as a tribute for your awakening.” Trevor forced a laugh with pain in his chest.
“You..” Colin couldn’t believe how shamefully his hall master was acting.
“Interesting. It looks like your Heavenly Demon Sect is filled with hooligans like you. Maybe I should pay a visit there someday.” Davion was impressed.
“You definitely can. Our sect accepts everyone. We don’t care whether you are a devil, demon, or a human.” Trevor’s eyes lit up. If he could rope him in, then he would definitely earn huge merit in the sect.
“Oh! How do I get there?” Davion went straight to the point. He was eager to know their hiding place.
Trevor passed him a talisman filled with mysterious runes and replied in a solemn tone, “It will teleport you to one of our headquarters. After meeting the elder, you can become one of us.”
“It’s good.” Davion accepted it.
“Now, we will be retreating.” Trevor was about to leave, but Davion stopped him in his tracks.
“Why are you in a hurry? There are many important things I want to know from you.”
“Please ask. I will try my best to answer them.” Trevor had a confident look on his face. But Davion’s next words put him in a difficult spot.
“I can sense the blood of the Flame Tiger Tribe in you. Did you exterminate them in any case?” Davion questioned him in a cold tone, sending chills down his spine.
“My God! How can he know that? I carried that out hundreds of years ago. Nonetheless, he caught me at a glance. As expected of an old monster. It was better not to fight him.” Trevor thought.
He then answered, “I did finish them off. But it was an order given by the higher-ups.”
He didn’t lie to him, thinking that the Flame Tiger Clan incident was not any big matter. Especially, it should not be related to a devil like Senior.
“Was it the White Tiger Clan?” Davion went to the crux of the matter.
