Chapter 41 - Demon Whisper Massacre

As the angel with wings and the hellish dragon perished together, the Hell Sect had thoroughly occupied the territory surrounding the Hell’s Gap.

“Your Excellency, what should we do next?” After briefly cleaning up the battlefield, the mid-level leaders of the Hell Sect approached Aude with respectful inquiries.

“I don’t know either, this is all the Vice Sect Hierarch’s plan, I believe she should be here soon,” Aude shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.

The mission to seize Hell’s Gap had been completed, and he saw no need to stay any longer.

Their capturing of Hell’s Gap would definitely prompt the empire to immediately reinforce the area to suppress them.

Staying would be tantamount to waiting for death, and he didn’t believe his sect currently had the strength to confront the empire head-on.

“Guard this place and wait for the Vice Sect Hierarch’s arrival.

I’ll take my leave first.”

“We bid you farewell, Your Excellency!” All the followers of the Hell Sect knelt and saw off Aude, which showed the strict hierarchy within their ranks.

Aude’s guess was not wrong at all, as the news of the Hell’s Gap battle was reported to the imperial capital with utmost urgency.

“What!” Konstantin Great Emperor was so angry he almost flipped the table while the empire’s nobles on both sides of the court presented petitions urging the empire to dispatch troops immediately to suppress the Hell Sect.

“Your humble servant believes that we should not only send a large army but also dispatch Third Transition experts to ensure that we can reopen Hell’s Gap and rescue our empire’s students as fast as possible,” said the elder, who wished he could be Konstantin Great Emperor and mobilize the entire nation’s army to rescue those trapped in hell.

And he had but one reason—his grandson’s life or death in hell was unknown.

“I understand your concerns, but mobilizing the troops will not be quick.

Hell’s Gap is located in the heart of our empire, and even the nearest imperial army would need half a month’s march to get there.

Have you considered this?” Konstantin Great Emperor said gravely.

“Your Majesty, we are prepared.

Please grant us permission for our families to mobilize our private guards for the suppression!” the Clan Leaders of the Eight Great Families stood up.

They knew very well that the empire’s army couldn’t reach the site in time to rescue, and thus they had already made arrangements to use their private forces.

“Oh?

Then, I grant your request.

Command the Suilander Army to set off for Hell’s Gap, and let the Eight Great Families convene their guards without restriction!” ordered the Great Emperor immediately.

“We will obey Your Majesty’s command!” Upon receiving the Great Emperor’s permission, the Eight Great Families were eager to mobilize their guards for the rescue.

Konstantin Great Emperor could also see through their eagerness and waved his hand, signaling the end of the court session.

After sending away the group of nobles who had come to report, the once bustling hall suddenly became empty.

“You should believe in my sincerity now, shouldn’t you?” Konstantin Great Emperor dismissed his attendants and spoke softly.

“Hehehe,” a string of giggles echoed around the empty hall.

“Come out!

I don’t like talking this way!” Konstantin Great Emperor furrowed his brows and spoke angrily.

“Your Majesty, please calm your anger.

I am simply in awe of your formidable reputation,” came a lovely voice right next to the Great Emperor’s ear, the warm breath causing a slight tickle.

Konstantin Great Emperor turned in surprise, only to see that sly figure appearing before him.

“Lando, you dare to toy with me?!” Konstantin Great Emperor was really holding back his anger; if it weren’t for the significance of their collaboration, who would want to work with this witch?

“Don’t be like that, Your Majesty.

From the first moment I saw you, I thought you were a hero.

I like men like you the most,” Lando said as she lifted her black veil, brushing it across Konstantin Great Emperor’s face, the faint fragrance fanning his desires.

“Enough!” Konstantin Great Emperor took a deep breath to steady his mind, reminding himself not to gaze on things he shouldn’t.

“This woman is no good, don’t let her get to you.”

“Oh, Your Majesty is so imposing; I am truly frightened,” Lando finally stopped her seductive movements.

“Hmph!” The Great Emperor let out a breath of relief.

“Shouldn’t we be discussing serious matters now?”

“Since Your Majesty has fulfilled our agreement, the Hell Sect will naturally deliver on our promises,” Lando answered with a smile.

“In that case, I await your good news,” Konstantin Great Emperor nodded.

“No problem, but Danni is a Third Transition Peak expert after all, facing her might require more time given our sect’s limited strength.”

“That’s no problem, just go and do it.

It would be best to capture all Seven Towers in one fell swoop!”

“Hehehe, the Great Emperor must be joking.

The Tower Masters are the pillars of the empire, would you really bear to part with them?” Lando chuckled.

“That’s none of your concern.

Just fulfill our agreement!

I hope to hear good news from you!”

So it turned out that this incident at Hell’s Gap was a conspiracy cleverly orchestrated by Konstantin Great Emperor and the Hell Sect!

Although Konstantin Great Emperor’s motives were still unknown, they were certainly up to no good, with dealing with Danni likely being one of them.

Two days later, the allied army of the Eight Great Families was about to arrive at Hell’s Rift.

The Eight Great Families had mustered their full strength this time, assembling an army of three hundred thousand guards, the weakest among them boasting the power of Second Transition Level 8.

This force was like a timed bomb in the empire’s belly, and a thorn in the throat of Great Emperor Konstantin!

“Report to the Marshal, someone’s been spotted in the sky ahead!” A scout rushed to the Marshal and pointed at a figure in the sky, saying.

“Who are you?!” The Marshal, infused with the power of Holy Light, called out to the figure in the sky.

“Hell’s Sect, Lando!” a soft voice replied from the figure, her red lips slightly parting.

“You’re Lando?!” The Marshal of the Eight Families’ alliance was shocked and quickly gave the order, “All Third Transition professionals, attack Lando with full force!”

Who was Lando?

A beauty, a stunning beauty, in no way inferior to Danni.

But people preferred to call her a witch, not only because she was the Vice Sect Hierarch of Hell’s Sect, but also because she took pleasure in killing.

She was called a witch mainly because she enjoyed conducting horrific experiments mixing humans with demons, with each experiment producing monstrosities that were neither human nor ghost, nauseating and horrifying.

“Holy Temple Judgement!”

“Snow Goddess’s Call!”

“Night Shadow Kill!”

“Wrathful Flames!”

Following the order of the allied force’s Marshal, a group of Third Transition experts from the families unleashed their most powerful skills at Lando in mid-air.

But Lando was unfazed; her three thousand strands of hair danced with the wind, her red lips parted again: “Demon Whisper—Decay!”

With those words, the myriad of fierce attacks weakened midway and lost their potency just before reaching Lando; with a gentle blow, all the skills vanished like smoke!

Lando was too strong.

If she weren’t the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Hell’s Sect, the empire would probably have another tower!

“Demon Whisper—Wither!” Lando’s pleasant voice came again, but to the ears of the Eight Families’ alliance, it was like a death knell.

As the waves of Lando’s skill spread, those who heard the whisper experienced rapid aging.

A man around forty years old turned into an old man on the verge of decay in the blink of an eye, unable to walk, falling to the ground and withering away at a visible rate, eventually becoming a dried-up corpse!

“Lando!

My Eight Great Families will fight you to the death!” The members of the Eight Great Families were both shocked and furious.

Away from the protection of the family’s formation, they couldn’t resist Lando, who had the strength to rival a Tower Master.

Moreover, Lando’s profession was the most sinister of all, a Demon Whisperer.

Speaking of the Demon Whisperers, we must mention the jobs within Hell’s Sect.

Unlike the empire that revered the Heavenly Gods, their power came from Hell.

Therefore, they had unique professions in the world, like the Hell Listener.

And Lando’s profession as a Demon Whisperer was one of the Third Transition roles within the Listeners, of which there were only two; the other was the Hell’s Military Governor.

The Demon Whisperers specialized in the vile curses of Hell Demons, while the Hell’s Military Governor focused on summoning demons, a being who could stand against a million-strong army alone.

“My dear, I’m so scared~” Lando teased with a coy laugh, then her expression turned vicious, “You bunch of cowards, if it weren’t for the Heavenly God’s formation protecting you, I would have slaughtered all you vermin long ago!”

As she spoke, Lando increased her magic power output, and under her whisper, the number of the dead multiplied exponentially.

In just a brief moment, more than half of the three hundred thousand-strong guard had perished!

“Space Sealing!” Suddenly, Vili’s voice came from the edge of the sky, directly sealing the space where Lando’s whisper was executed and exiling it to the outer void.

“Vili?!

How come you’re here too?” Lando’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She had never clashed with Vili before and was unaware of the true extent of this Space Mage’s strength.

“Someone asked for my help; I thought it was just a simple errand, but I didn’t expect to find such a big fish,” Vili appeared directly in front of Lando, his figure traversing space.

“An elegant man, I like that,” Lando said, licking her lips as she looked at Vili, her gentlemanly appearance seemingly arousing her desires.

“Oh?

That’s quite an honor,” Vili replied with a faint smile.

“I would be interested in mixing you with Slake to see if a new species might emerge.”

Vili was completely taken aback, damn it, she actually saw him as suitable for her experiments, so infuriating!
