A Demon's Journey

Chapter 367 - Spiritual Pressure

Azaroth was only slightly surprised to see this man targeting him. This man must also be seething due to the jealousy he felt as he stared at Azaroth.

"It's been quite some time since I saw a powerful 6 Star Expert. I was merely caught by surprise by some unexpected things. You don't need to worry too much," Azaroth responded to this man's earlier question.

This man was Erica's husband and also Christina's father. Although his official status was merely an elder, his words still carried great weight in the Black Lake Sect.

They knew that although their sect mistress was somewhat cold towards her husband, she would still listen to him.

Azaroth's words caused all the individuals in the hall to look at him with a sneer on their faces. Naturally, these individuals didn't include the women following him and Christina.

Christina was filled with respect for Azaroth since she believed Tiana's words that Azaroth was a former 7 Star Rank Expert.

Even now, she wanted to go forward and ask him for some advice regarding her cultivation. Christina had asked her mother the same questions, but her mother would never reply to her.

She wanted her mother to get some pointers as well. Christina knew her mother longed to break through to the Seven Star Rank.

The spirit she possessed could only display its true power at the 7 Star Rank. Currently, her mother couldn't use the Great Kun's strongest abilities as those techniques would be too taxing for her body.

The same was the case for Christina as well. The Golden Crow within her had once mentioned in its arrogance that the techniques Christina had used were not its true abilities.

It couldn't use its true abilities because Christina's body and spirit couldn't tolerate the repercussions of those techniques.

However, when Christina asked the Golden Crow whether it could defeat Azaroth's spirit that had entered her mindscape that day, the arrogant Golden Crow strangely turned silent.

Even though the Golden Crow was quite young, it had still inherited its ancestor's instincts. And those instincts told him to fear that individual.

He had a feeling that even if he could use all his true abilities, he could still not harm this individual. It would still be defeated! Moreover, it had a feeling that this individual had killed not a few members of its race.

At this moment, even Erica was staring at Azaroth with some surprise in her eyes. From Azaroth's words and tone, it was as if he was used to meeting with 6 Star Experts. Moreover, he seemed clear about the difference between them.

What shocked Erica, even more, was that Azaroth's subordinates remained calm as they heard those words.

They knew this information. In fact, they were confident it was the truth.

Erica thought at that moment 'Either they have been brainwashed, or this guy is speaking the truth. I need to probe more.'

While Erica thought that she needed to probe more, her husband had already taken a step forward.

"I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen someone as arrogant as you. Even a mere 5 Star Warrior dares to say that he is gauging a great 6 Star Expert," The man spoke with a sneer on his face.

Azaroth casually responded, "It's not my fault that you are a frog at the bottom of a well."

At those words, the women following Azaroth suddenly started chuckling. Erica's husband was instantly embarrassed as he heard those words. Azaroth was basically telling him that he hadn't seen the world.

Christina frowned a bit as she heard Azaroth embarrass her father. However, she didn't dare to speak up at this moment.

Another elder stood up and asked Azaroth, "You mentioned you have come to assist us. Where are the rest of your forces? I can't sense any more warriors."

It seemed as though this elder wanted to divert everyone's mind.

"These are all the warriors I brought," Azaroth responded calmly. He knew what this elder was doing but allowed him to do it anyway.

At that moment, Erica's husband stood up and pointed his finger at Azaroth, "Hah! Did you really come here to help us, or just come here as a formality?! The group you brought isn't even enough to count as reinforcements for the battlefield, and you call this help!"

"You are a mere 5 Star Warrior while your subordinates all have the aura of a 4 Star Warrior. Although impressive for a small sect such as yours, the Black Lake Sect does not need your assistance," Another elder spoke. He seemed to be quite aged and experienced.

He added, without letting Azaroth speak, "You should leave and conserve the strength of your sect. If these disciples of your sect die, it would badly affect your sect."

This elder seemed magnanimous as he asked Azaroth to return. But in reality, he was looking down on Azaroth and his group. He was telling them that their presence wouldn't affect the battlefield.

Azaroth took a deep breath as he gazed at that aged elder and spoke, "I know you are all looking down on me and my subordinates. Our cultivation base might be the reason. I have a 5 Star Cultivation. However, all the elders in this meeting hall also have a 5 Star Cultivation. Then, you also have a 6 Star Expert as your Sect Mistress. Is that why you believe you have the right to look down on me?"

Before any elder or Erica could say anything, Azaroth laughed and spoke, "Interesting, isn't it, Tiana?"

Tiana also smirked as she heard Azaroth and nodded her head. She was suppressing her laughter.

She had been informed by Laura and Yrellea that Azaroth had destroyed the Dragon and Tiger Squads of the Dragon Tiger Palace.

"Have you gone crazy?" Erica's husband roared as he heard those words, "Guards. Take him away! This guy is an eyesore."

At this moment, all the women behind Azaroth frowned. They didn't think that this guy would try to throw them out.

One of them wanted to speak up for Azaroth, but Azaroth had fiercely ordered them to remain quiet in the meeting hall and let him do the talking. They couldn't go against his order.

The elders who had been ordered to guard outside immediately entered the meeting hall and tried to grab hold of Azaroth and his group. They planned to obey the order they had received.

Meanwhile, Azaroth spoke out at this moment, "The Dragon Tiger Palace paid the price for their ignorance with the massacre of their elite groups. I wonder if the Black Lake Sect plans to walk on a similar path?"

That voice was completely different from earlier. Unlike the casual and easygoing voice, this time, the voice was cold. It even gave a sensation of death to some weak-willed individuals.

The guards who were coming to grab hold of Azaroth and throw him out immediately paused in their tracks.

They were the ones who stood closest to Azaroth and experienced a potent spiritual attack.

Meanwhile, Erica stood up in shock as she knew that Azaroth was spiritually attacking everyone in the meeting hall.

"Stop!" She roared as she forcefully brought everyone to their senses.

Azaroth had an amused smile on his face as he stared at Erica. He spoke, "It seems that you have a great relationship with that fish. It lent such a huge portion of its energy to you so that you could disperse my Spiritual Pressure."

A Pure Spiritual Attack was somewhat different from a normal attack. Even someone like 6 Star Warrior couldn't easily disperse the attack on that individual's spirit.

It wasn't that Erica was spiritually weaker than Azaroth. Azaroth possessed an ocean of Spiritual Energy that was incomparably pure. However, it wasn't dense enough. He knew that it was due to his low cultivation base.

However, Erica couldn't control her Spirit well enough to protect her comrades. A slight carelessness and she could greatly injure their spirits. Thus, she had asked for the Great Kun's support to suppress the root cause. That was Azaroth himself. As long as Azaroth's spiritual energy couldn't be radiated from his body, his spiritual attacks won't reach her comrades' bodies.

Moreover, Azaroth's words had completely startled Erica. She instantly released her aura and asked him with an authoritative tone, "What are you talking about?!"
