Chapter 2153: Hell

“I fear it isn't something you can learn,” Zu An casually responded.

The other three didn’t mind it too much, because there was no way anyone would just give away their greatest secrets.

The Shadowhorror Devil said, “Let’s talk about more important matters. We’ve already killed off the important military officers around the Dragon Palace, and taken them over with Heart-Devouring Demon Spiders. Even if you’re exposed, we don’t need to fear the Ocean races turning things around anymore.”

Zu An immediately felt sullen.

The situation seems even worse than I imagined.

These guys are probably on the same side as the Lord of Myriad Transformations. The reason why they separated for a bit was probably just to take control of several important individuals.

Still, that was why he had been able to replace the Lord of Myriad Transformations. Otherwise, with these people here, he could have already been exposed.

“Haha, I’ve really troubled you all. It seems our success is already imminent.” Even though Zu An was feeling dejected inside, there was a big smile on his face.

“I heard that after you caught the Mermaid Queen, you quickly managed to completely subdue her. When are you going to lend her to me to play around with?” the Firedevil Sea Beast asked with a smile. “I’ve wanted to play around with these mermaids for a long time. I heard that the Mermaid Queen looks reserved and dignified on the outside, but she’s extremely passionate inside. I like that type.”

Zu An’s eyes narrowed. These monsters really didn’t have any morals or integrity after all. They talked about something like that as if it was completely normal. If Shang Hongyu had really fallen into these monsters’ hands, just how miserable would her end have been?

“That’s right,” he said, but his tone conveyed cold refusal.

The Firedevil Sea Beast’s expression changed. He protested, “We’re all working together, so why do you get to enjoy everything alone?”

“If you have the ability, why don’t you try to become the Dragon King?” Zu An replied, his expression calm. He told himself that this guy was the first one he would eliminate once he got the chance.

“You...!” The Firedevil Sea Beast suddenly got up. But when he thought about how this was the Dragon Palace, and the other side’s previous display of power left even him a bit frightened, he felt some reservations and didn’t know whether to continue.

The Bloodthirst Crocodile watched what was going on with amusement. He was hoping for these two to start fighting, since he could just reap all the benefits after.

The Shadowhorror Devil stepped in to mediate things. “Enough. With our current plans being more important, how can we afford to start stirring things up here? Could it be that you've all forgotten about what happened in the Fiend races’ sealed land?”

After hearing that, the Firedevil Sea Beast sat down in disappointment. He didn’t continue to aggressively pick fights. Even the Bloodthirst Crocodile felt a bit dejected. He wasn’t in the mood to enjoy any drama anymore.

“Is that Zu An really that amazing? There were such huge preparations in the sealed land, and yet he actually ended up dealing with them,” the Bloodthirst Crocodile said in frustration.

Zu An’s expression was also strange. He had never expected these people to be talking about him! As such, he used the chance to say, “When I heard that he killed the War Priest, I thought that it was just some fluke, but now, the Manipulator of Death, Iron Fist Rock, and Scorpion King have also died to him.”

He didn’t dare to go into too many details for fear of being exposed.

“That’s not all.” The Firedevil Sea Beast sighed. “Even the Shadow Monster King died. Which one of us here is stronger than that guy?”

A strange silence quickly fell. Zu An was startled. It seemed these monsters understood each others’ strength well. The pressure the Shadow Monster King had emanated really was overwhelming. At the very least, it was a bit greater than what these three had.

“Apart from the Shadow Monster King, even the legendary Lord of Slaughter seems to be dead. I really can't imagine how a human like him can be this strong,” the Shadowhorror Devil said, sounding slightly bitter. The Shadow Monster King was someone he had admired greatly, so that event was quite shocking for him.

As for the Lord of Slaughter, it was a legendary being in the Monster Realm.

When he heard these monsters sigh in distress, Zu An found it a bit laughable. He hadn’t expected that one day, he would be even more frightening to them than other monsters.

“I just feel as if it's impossible. Forget about the Shadow Monster King, how could the Lord of Slaughter possibly lose to a human? A few days ago, a terrifying aura suddenly covered the sealed land, as if something extraordinary had descended. I figure the two of them were probably killed by that being.” The Bloodthirst Crocodile shook his head as he spoke. He was clearly unable to accept the other possibility.

“That might indeed be a possibility.” The Shadowhorror Devil and Firedevil Sea Beast had fearful looks on their faces. If what they felt toward Zu An was apprehension, what they felt toward something like that was pure submission and fear.

“I really wonder just where that presence came from,” Zu An chimed in.

“No one knows what happened over there, but the monsters in the sealed land are all dead.” The Shadowhorror Devil shivered as he spoke.

“Our luck is quite good. We split up into three paths and thought that we were stuck with the toughest and most unrewarding job, but it now looks as if we have the highest chances of succeeding.” The Firedevil Sea Beast started laughing, as if to give everyone present confidence again.

Zu An was startled.

Three paths? The sealed land is one, and the Ocean races' territory is another, so where is the last one?

“That’s right. Judging from recent intelligence, we seem to have obtained a great treasure. Once we swallow up this world, we’ll be the greatest contributors and obtain the greatest benefits,” the Bloodthirsty Crocodile said confidently.

Zu An wondered what this great treasure was. Judging from how excited they were, it probably entailed some recently learned secrets, and the Lord of Myriad Transformations likely knew about it too. As such, he couldn't ask about it, or else he would expose himself. However, various signs indicated that the great treasure seemed to be inside the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪

“But everyone should still remain a bit more careful. It’s already been some time since we last received news of Zu An from the human and fiend sides. He might already be on his way to the Ocean races' territory,” Zu An said on purpose to try and fish for more intelligence.

“What the Lord of Myriad Transformations says is reasonable. We can't become careless.” The Shadowhorror Devil nodded.

“What are you all so scared of? We'll soon be able to enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons. Once we get that item, what can that human even do to us anymore?” The Bloodthirst Crocodile licked his lips. “Hmph, if it weren’t because this world’s natural barrier suppresses our cultivation, why would I fear a human? At that time, I’ll let him have a taste of my Rolling Death. It’ll definitely crush him into mincemeat.”

Zu An was startled. The secret was in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons after all! They wanted to enter and obtain that thing.

I wonder just what that thing is. It seems that if they get their hands on it, their cultivation will no longer be blocked?

When he thought of this, his expression turned grave. Things really would become dangerous if he played around too much.

“Hmph, you’ve always been too rash and impulsive.” The Shadowhorror Devil released a cold scoff. “Did you forget that there's still Ka Qier’s side?”

Zu An thought, As expected. Ka Qier in’t on the same side as these guys.

“Working together with those Hell bastards is just way too dangerous. A single mistake and we’ll be dragged down with them! That’d really hurt a lot.” The Firedevil Sea Beast couldn't help but shiver. He clearly had some reservations about that place.

Hell? Zu An hadn’t expected to obtain such information today. There really is a hell in this world!

No wonder he had sensed the energy of departed spirits from the Yaksha Ocean Patrol. It seemed to come from Hell.

“We’ll just each take what we need from each other. They need our help, and we need their abilities. Only then will we all be able to enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons together,” said the Shadowhorror Devil. “But what they tell us might not be the complete truth. That’s why we need to maintain a hundred and twenty percent vigilance so those bastards from Hell won’t even know that they’re getting screwed over.”

Since it was related to the safety of the entire world, Zu An had wanted to get rid of these guys first, and he'd been worried that he could slip up. But when he heard the Shadowhorror Devil, he realized that these parties had to all work together to enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, which made him give up on the idea. He could potentially make use of this animosity. Otherwise, it’d be really bad if both sides ended up turning against him.

“For the sake of minimizing unnecessary risks, we’ll be meeting infrequently from now on and will go into hiding in the Dragon Palace. Summon us if you need anything, especially if those guys on Hell’s side start doing anything suspicious,” the three warned Zu An before leaving.

Zu An agreed outwardly, but inside, he thought to himself that according to what Shang Hongyu had told him, Ka Qier was clearly an expert from the Shark race. Why was he now a visitor from Hell?

Could it be that Hell also has appearance changing abilities?
