The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 610 - The Overlords

The Sages had never intervened in the worldy matters unless the world face a catastrophe they couldn't keep at bay. And not just that, they were also a bunch of secretive existences that keep changing places to avoid being discovered. Or perhaps, they were on a disguise so that people wouldn't bother them. After all, being a Sage was the grandest title a cultivator could have.

"No matter how secretive they are, I can find one or two without much resources." Jin Rou said, "I just need to know the name of the Sage and a few things about him."

"Are you sure?" Windking couldn't help but ask in hesitation. It was one thing that Jin Rou killed an Overlord. Yet now, he wanted to face a Sage?

"You don't have to look at me like that. I'm just curious and want to meet them. I won't cause trouble for you." Jin Rou smiled wryly and explained.. Why would Jin Rou kill an existence could help the Immortal to deflect the incoming catastrophe?

Windking didn't respond for a while before taking a deep sigh, "Okay, the Sage I sent a letter to has a grand title of Everlasting Sage. He is said to be the strongest Sage out of the four and even intimidated two Overlords millions of years ago."

"Everlasting Sage. That's truly a grand title he has." Jin Rou nodded and used his teleportation gate, "Any other information about him?"

"None." Windking shook his head, "He is the most secretive out of the four Sages so there's a little to none the people around him. As a matter of fact, his existence was only known when a cultivator reached our level."

"No worries. It's already enough to track him down." Jin Rou chuckled. After which, he maneuvered something between the engraved symbols on the gate.

After fifteen minutes, the next thing Windking realized was the gate suddenly shone brightly and Jin Rou said, "Let's go."

Jin Rou entered the gate and Windking didn't bother asking and rushed to enter the gate, afraid that he might be left out in this eerie black sea.

After the duo disappeared, five spatial gates suddenly opened, revealing five figures. Each of them had a very intense aura that could destroy the whole Immortal.

They were the Overlords. They could feel each other's life sign, so when the moth overlord died, they felt it.

"It's true, Mortheus was killed." Blackdemon Overlord confirmed when he found the body in the deep sea, "His palace was destroyed fully, so there's no chance of revival."

"This is insane." Dynasty Overlord spoke in a bit surprised, "Mortheus is so strong. How could he be killed that easily?"

"That's the thing. How can he be killed so easily when me and Dynasty together couldn't?" Secretzone Overlord was flabbergasted. They experienced first hand how powerful Mortheus was. Unless three Overlords ganged up on Mortheus, he wouldn't be killed that easy.

Imperial Queen didn't bother saying anything but she was observing in the sidelines. She, too, was very aware of Mortheus' strength. Although she had some rough conclusions, the ones she reached were terrifying. Remember, a duo had just visited her a while ago.

"Imperial, what do you think about this?" Blackdemon Overlord asked for the woman's thoughts about the matter. It was a great loss to lose Mortheus as he was one of the top combatants of the Overlords, if the Sages decided to go all out to hunt them, then they would be in a disadvantageous position.

The other overlords also looked at Imperial Queen. She had the most knowledge about almost anything and so far the most intelligent so they sought an answer from her.

"I don't know." She shook her head, "The clues I found are irrelevant and can't come up with a decent conclusion."

Blackdemon looked at Imperial Queen with a confusing gaze but he dropped it eventually. If the queen didn't know, then she probably didn't know.

But the thing was, Imperial Queen lied about not having a decent conclusion. For some reason, she kept the information about Windking and an unknown person visiting her hidden from the group.

"I can feel a little energy of sword forms here." Secretzone maximized his senses and found out about this, "It's made of lightning of an unknown origin."

"Sword form of a lightning?" Blackdemon examined the dead Overlord's body once again and saw some deep wounds. He took a good look in it and said, "Mortheus was injured by that sword form. However, he was killedd by committing suicide."

"Suicide?" The other overlords were stumped to hear this. What could possibly make someone like Mortheus, a prideful being, commit such a thing?

"It looks like he encountered a very powerful existence." Blackdemon added. His expression was grim.

"Who is it possibly? Everlasting or some other Sages out there?" Dynasty asked. Only the Sages had the capability of contending against them so they were the first suspects.

"No." Blackdemon denied this notion, "No one in the Sages has the capability to maneuver lightning sword forms. Moreover, if the Sages tried to infiltrate our place, we will know it as we have an intense connection with them. So, the Sages doing this isn't viable."

Everyone pondered and found this reasonable and realistic. The Sages wouldn't be dumb enough to cause an all out war between the two parties. After all, it would only be detrimental to the future prospects of Immortal. Unless Everlasting Sage was confident enough of exterminating the Overlords and maintain the balance of the world.

"So who could it be?" Secretzone tried to wrack his brain but a single person didn't pop out. Even the strongest perfect immortal wasn't valid enough to be thought of.

"I have to talk to Timedeath about this." Blackdemon said.

Timedeath Overlord was the strongest of them all. Not even Mortheus could stand a chance against this existence. After all, Timedeath was the real definition of living fossil, a being who lived for billions of years now.

"For now, let's go back to our own nests. I heard that there is an incoming catastrophe that Immortal would face. It'd be a great idea to watch the show." Blackdemon dismissed the group and left.
