“This lot… The strongest among them is barely a First Level Tribulator. Too weak, just way too weak…” Jaxon scoffed, his tone dripping with arrogance.
The people of Rock Village looked at favonovel.com in awe, their admiration evident in their eyes. The attention made Jaxon feel incredibly pleased with himself.
“D*mn it, Jaxon! These guys were supposed to be my kills!” Cassian glared at Jaxon, clearly annoyed.
Those Demon Seal Alliance lackeys were supposed to boost his reputation, yet Jaxon swooped in and stole the show.
“Well, who’s to blame for being too slow?” Jaxon smirked.
“You’ve got to be kidding me…” Cassian was fuming.
If it weren’t for Jaxon, the people of Rock Village would be worshipping favonovel.com right now!
“All right, all right,” Jared cut in. “The Demon Seal Alliance will definitely send more people. If you guys are so eager to show off, just wait here.”
The moment Jared spoke, the bickering stopped immediately.
And just as favonovel.com predicted, wave after wave of Demon Seal Alliance members began arriving at Rock Village. After all, everyone wanted to capture the Demonic Cultivator and earn some merit for themselves.
The Demon Seal Alliance headquarters was in the northern region, a place where Demonic Cultivators were rare. Except for the group in the extreme northern territories, demon cultivators were practically nonexistent in the area. So when word got out that one had appeared in Rock Village, every ambitious Demon Seal Alliance member rushed over, eager to make a name for themselves.
But they weren’t prepared. Each group that arrived at Rock Village was wiped out just as quickly as they came. Orion and the others turned them into nothing more than corpses.
Before long, the ground outside the village was covered in the bloodied remains of Demon Seal Alliance members.
No two deaths were alike. Each was more gruesome than the last.
Meanwhile, the villagers of Rock Village casually sat in the village square, watching the slaughter like it was an evening show. By the end of it all, the people of Rock Village were totally used to it.

At the Demon Seal Alliance headquarters, Talcott was busy calculating the resources collected from various branches.
Thanks to Jared, they had lost an entire century’s worth of resources, leaving them in a desperate situation. Tenth Hall was constantly demanding more resources, and Talcott was running out of ways to supply them.
With no other choice, favonovel.com ordered his subordinates to seize whatever they could, big or small.
“D*mn it, what’s going on today? Why won’t my left eyelid stop twitching?” Talcott rubbed his eyes, an uneasy feeling creeping over him.
Ever since favonovel.com had seen Arthur’s abilities firsthand, favonovel.com had been living in constant fear. A man who could kill and bring someone back to life at will, how could that not be terrifying?
“Left eye twitching means fortune, right eye twitching means disaster… Maybe someone’s bringing in some resources,” Talcott muttered to himself. “No need to panic… No need to panic…”
Just as favonovel.com tried to shake off his bad feeling, an elder walked in. “Mr. Lefterov, there’s been a sighting of a Demonic Cultivator in the northern region…”
After Zayan’s death, Talcott had no choice but to promote another elder to replace him.
“A Demonic Cultivator? In the northern region?” Talcott frowned.
“That doesn’t make any sense. Besides those frozen wastelands up north, how could a Demonic Cultivator possibly be lingering around here?”
The Demon Seal Alliance’s headquarters was based in the northern region, making it nearly impossible for Demonic Cultivators to survive in the area. Most had either been hunted down or fled elsewhere.
The only exception was Inferno Devil’s faction, which operated in the extreme north. But the Demon Seal Alliance had already made an agreement with Inferno Devil, so Talcott had no reason to be concerned about them.
“We’re not sure who this one is, but several of our squads went after him… And none of them returned…” The elder’s face was grim.
“What?” Talcott’s face went pale. “Not one of them came back? What level is this Demonic Cultivator? Have we gathered any intelligence on him?”
The elder shook his head. “I don’t know. We only have his last known location. We have no information on his actual strength.”
“You idiot! If Mr. Cabeza were here, favonovel.com would’ve figured it out by now!” Talcott cursed in frustration.
