Chapter 618: 384: Demon·Holy See_2



Logan sneered coldly, his gaze clashing with that of the Demonic Sky Taoist. The Taoist laughed upon hearing this, to him the number of deaths was just a figure, after all, in the eyes of those like them, especially belonging to the Demon Path like the Demonic Sky Gate, this was already merciful enough.

The Demonic Sky Taoist didn’t want to waste words, he continued, “Will you release the more than twenty thousand people from the Demonic Sky Gate or not? I don’t want to waste time. If you keep beating around the bush, I don’t mind personally slaying you first, then opening this barrier myself. You better weigh the consequences well.”

“If you really have the ability, then feel free to try,” Logan replied neither overbearingly nor humbly, “and to put it frankly, since I dared to let someone go back and inform you, I naturally have a backup plan. If you don’t believe it, you are welcome to test it out. I can’t guarantee you’ll live past today.”

Empty threats, who can’t make them? Besides, Logan’s sanctity-destroying array had already been set up. They were just waiting for the guest to step into the trap. The Demonic Sky Taoist may be arrogant now, but in a moment, he would surely become utterly disheveled. Just thinking about the array set up with forty million Spirit Stones was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

The two didn’t speak further, engaging in a contest of wills. After a long while, the Demonic Sky Taoist was the first to give in, “What will it take for you to release the disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate? I must strive for the Western Wasteland Demonic Sky Gate, the only thing I can promise is that from now on, we won’t be enemies.”

“No release,” Logan said bluntly, shaking his head. The Demonic Sky Taoist’s attitude was hardly acceptable—it looked more like a threat. Logan’s response angered the Demonic Sky Taoist completely, and with a wave of his hand, he had the Elders bring dozens of people forward.

“These are the Sect Leaders of the forces that chose to side with the Demonic Sky Gate. I offer them as a trade. Release the disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate immediately, or I can’t guarantee the safety of these people. One bad mood swing and someone might lose their head.”

The dozens of people caught were terrified. They had thought by siding with the Demonic Sky Gate, they could stay safe amidst the strife, unlike the several Lords who were seeking their own doom. Little did they expect that in just one day, such a reversal would happen.

So many lives had become mere bargaining chips, and yet it was Logan’s side that had gained the advantage. Not only had he survived the Demonic Sky Gate’s assault, but he had also trapped more than twenty thousand of their people, forcing the Sanctuary Powerhouse of the Demonic Sky Gate to compromise.

Upon seeing this, Logan laughed, and the Lords were dumbfounded, “Is there a mistake here? They are all traitors, their life and death should be decided by your Demonic Sky Gate, why use them to threaten us?”

“Do you truly not care? Or are you just spouting idle talk? They are, after all, part of the Western Wilderness Forces. I don’t believe you righteous Sects wouldn’t care about that.”

The Demonic Sky Taoist frowned, thinking that Logan and his companions were merely putting on an act, believing he wouldn’t dare to kill. It seemed the only way to deter them was to give them a lesson. So, he glanced casually at a Sect Leader and slashed down with his sword, instantly killing the man.

This scene shocked everyone. The remaining dozens of Sect Leaders knelt down trembling, continuously begging the Demonic Sky Taoist for mercy to spare their lives. However, the Demonic Sky Taoist only found their wailing annoying, and he executed those who cried the loudest, bargaining chips had the gall to beg for mercy?

Seeing the ruthlessness of the Demonic Sky Taoist, everyone turned their attention to Logan again, “Please agree to the Demonic Sky Taoist’s terms, if not, we are all doomed. We realize our mistake in joining the Demonic Sky Gate, considering our past ties, you must save us.”

“Continue, it’s best if none of them are left, I’ve long been annoyed by them anyway!” Logan’s face remained impassive as he yawned and continued to watch the spectacle.

Cain Scarlet and his companions were in the same boat. Ever since they’d made the choice to join the Demonic Sky Gate, whatever affections they had accumulated were severed in that moment. At this time, it was simply that Logan had gained the upper hand. Conversely, if the Demonic Sky Gate had achieved a great victory, would these Sect Leaders still be able to utter such words?

Moreover, even if they wanted to choose mercy, they were not in a position to make the decision on behalf of the Protagonist. At this critical time of the confrontation between the Protagonist and the Supreme Elder of the Demonic Sky Gate, if their transient thoughts led to a turn in the tide of the battle, it would truly result in catastrophic devastation.

Compared to these dozens of Sect Leaders weeping and wailing, the Sect Leaders beside the several Lords were all rejoicing and laughing with delight. Choosing to remain with the Lords the day before was like walking a fine line between life and death. Fortunately, they had placed their bets correctly, unlike these cowards who were faced with a tragic end.

Seeing that Logan really didn’t react, the Demonic Sky Taoist thought he wasn’t being ruthless enough, so with a wave of his hand, he wiped out another five or six Sect Leaders. He didn’t care how strong Logan’s psyche was; he stubbornly believed Logan couldn’t stand by and watch him slay all these dozens of people.

Yet, the reality was indeed so, because half of the people had died at his own hand, and the other half were incessantly crying and apologizing to Logan, who remained unmoved. There was even a trace of vengeance being served on his face, leaving the Demonic Sky Taoist at a loss for words.

So these Sect Leaders were just expendable pawns after all. He had actually thought they might be of some use. In a fit of rage, he simply exterminated the other half as well, since keeping these people alive was only a curse. Not embraced by either side, he didn’t want to increase Logan’s power.

At that moment, Logan waved his hand, and a vortex gate appeared within the barrier, “Actually, you can try to save them if you want, but you’ll have to go in and lead them out yourself.”

“You’re trying to trap me in there as well?” The Demonic Sky Taoist simply glanced it over and saw through Logan’s intentions. Was Logan underestimating him too much? After all, he was a first-class Sanctuary Powerhouse; a mere Barrier Screen was negligible to him.

Logan didn’t argue. After all, this was just a plot directed at the Demonic Sky Taoist, to see if he dared to step into the Barrier Array. In fact, even if the Demonic Sky Taoist didn’t enter, Logan could instantly expand the Barrier Screens a hundredfold and still trap the Demonic Sky Taoist.

It was just not to that step yet, after all, once the barrier was expanded a hundredfold, it meant that the several Lords and the Sect disciples would also be trapped. If the Demonic Sky Taoist couldn’t escape later, he would inevitably seek revenge, so Logan didn’t want to increase the needless sacrifices.

“Watch if I dare!” The Demonic Sky Taoist didn’t care, stepping into the barrier in one stride. The next moment, Logan’s vortex gate disappeared, and with that, Logan revealed a satisfied smile. From now on, it wouldn’t matter what the Demonic Sky Taoist did; the situation was completely under his control.

After the Demonic Sky Taoist entered the Barrier Screens, instead of hurrying to break the array, he glanced at Azrael Skyward and said, “Aren’t you a rather incompetent Sect Leader? You just harmed more than twenty thousand of your disciples. What would have been your plan to turn the situation around if I weren’t in the Sect?”

Even as he was criticized from head to toe, Azrael Skyward didn’t dare retort a word. The Demonic Sky Taoist was the only Sanctuary Powerhouse of the Demonic Sky Gate and a senior from before his father’s time, having been with the Demonic Sky Gate for over a thousand years; he was almost like a grandfather to himself.

“Just watch how I break this barrier!” The Demonic Sky Taoist mustered the Power of the Saint Seat and casually struck the barrier, waiting for the Barrier Array to explode. However, after a long time passed, the Barrier Array remained motionless, unscathed as if it hadn’t been touched at all.

This left the Demonic Sky Taoist a bit unable to save face. Could it be that he had failed? Despite continuously unleashing the Power of the Saint Seat, he still couldn’t open the barrier. At this moment, the Demonic Sky Taoist grew somewhat panicked. After all, he was a Sanctuary Powerhouse. How could he be trapped in a Barrier Array?

“Built especially for the Sanctuary Powerhouses, you could spend a month trying and still not escape.” Logan laughed heartily from outside the array. After all, in the past, he had trapped both the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist with tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, not to mention that this Barrier Array had taken ten million Spirit Stones to construct.
