Chapter 321 - Visiting The Rebel Army’s Secret Base

After Jiu Shen swept his spiritual perception throughout Morlon City, he gained an understanding of it and he also discovered the strength of everyone living in the city. Even the overseer of the city, Demon Ancestor Jun, was seen through by him! Aside from that, Jiu Shen also saw the other four Demon Lords, but there was also something that made Jiu Shen a bit surprised.

He saw a gathering of human experts within Morlon City! There was even a Nascent God Realm expert among them! However, he also noticed that the headquarters of these human experts were located in a discreet location of the city. The humans are all wearing long and dark robes that disguised their appearance.

"It looks like these guys are the experts from the Rebel Army that Burlock has talked about. It is already incredible of them to survive in the territory of demons and one of them even managed to reach the Nascent God Realm. It seems like this Rebel Army has a capable leader." Jiu Shen said as he rubbed his chin.

"I might as well visit them and see what they are capable of. If their personality is not bad, then I don’t mind giving them a bit of help." Jiu Shen said thoughtfully. He was currently in the territory of the demons and it would be ideal if he gains the help of the locals. With their aid, he would not need to personally search the spiritual plants needed for his wine recipe. Aside from that, they can also help him in gathering more information about the Crimson Fiend Continent.

With that in mind, Jiu Shen transformed into a streak of light as he flew in the direction of the Rebel Army’s secret headquarters.

***

Inside a large old mansion, more than several dozen individuals were having a meeting. The atmosphere was solemn as everyone glanced at the messenger.

"General, everything has been calm so far. There are also no major movements in the five Demon Lords’ territories. Just that..." The messenger was a man in his forties and his cultivation had already reached the mid stage of the 7th-rank Emperor. If he was in the Profound Dragon Continent, he could have become an Elder of a large sect, but here, he was just a messenger.

The man whom the messenger referred to as ’General’ was a middle-aged man in his late fifties. He was wearing a silver battle armor with numerous cuts. His battle armor had fully covered his torso and only his arms were laid bare. Multiple scars and newly healed wounds can be seen on his muscular arms and even his face had a huge sword wound which made him look even more intimidating!

"Just what?" The general frowned when he saw the hesitant expression of the messenger.

When the messenger saw the displeased look of the general, he hesitated no longer and decided to tell him what he had seen. "General, I was tasked to collect information about Demon Lord Burlock, and I discovered something fishy last night."

Hearing his words, the general’s frown deepened and he gestured for the messenger to continue.

"The servants of Demon Lord Burlock seems to be in a state of panic. They are also looking from house to house as if they are searching for something. I think they might have discovered our presence..." The messenger said. A look of nervousness can be seen on his face as he said that.

When everyone inside the mansion heard his words, they also became anxious. If Demon Lord Burlock had indeed discovered their presence in Morlon City, it would be a disaster for them!

The general furrowed his eyebrows and he eventually shook his head as he said. "That’s impossible. We used the secret route provided by the higher-ups to come here, so it is unlikely for them to notice us. They might be searching for something else, but we still have to exercise caution. Have all of our subordinates limit their movements and make them come back before nightfall."

"Yes, general!" The people inside the mansion replied in unison.

"Send a few more men to observe Demon Burlock’s mansion. And if they discover something important, report it immediately. Alright, dismissed!" The general issued an order before dismissing everyone.

After everyone came out of the large meeting room, the general sat weakly on his chair. His face was covered with exhaustion.

"I hope that I am right. Our objective here is crucial for our Rebel Army. And it would be a catastrophic loss if we fail our mission here." The general muttered through gritted teeth.

"We must save the young lord at all cost! He is the future of our Rebel Army!" The general’s eyes flashed with determination.

Suddenly...

The general felt a gaze looking over him and he hurriedly turned his gaze to the side. Right there, he saw a young man with long silver hair sitting calmly on a chair. However, what made him slightly perturbed was the fact that he failed to notice the other party’s presence! If the young man did not intentionally look at him, he would have failed to discover him!

"Who are you?" The general forcefully calmed his wildly beating heart as he glanced deeply at the young man. The more he looked at him, the more uneasy he became. He could not sense the young man’s cultivation level at all!

This young man was none other than Jiu Shen who sneaked insider this old mansion. He had already seen the entirety of Morlon City through his spiritual perception and it was not hard for him to locate this place.

Jiu Shen stared at the general and nodded his head inwardly. The guy was able to maintain his calmness despite the sudden emergence of a potential enemy. From this alone, Jiu Shen could already tell that this general was a valiant man.

"Not bad. You can actually remain calm in my presence. As for who I am, just visit the lotus building not far from here. When you go there, you’ll know my identity." Jiu Shen said in a calm tone.

The general inwardly sighed in relief when he discovered that the other party harbored no malicious intent. With a deep look, he asked. "Esteemed sir, what is your reason for visiting our headquarters?"

"Reason? None. If you need my help, just come to the lotus building." Jiu Shen shook his head expressionlessly. It was still too early for him to tell them about his intentions. For now, he could only give them a vague reply.

After hearing Jiu Shen’s answer, the general frowned, but he did not ask further. Since the other party refused to tell him, it wouldn’t be good if he forced him to answer. Furthermore, he was also wary of the young man’s strength and he did not want to offend someone as mysterious as him especially because they were still on a mission.

Swoosh.

"Space Manipulation! He is at least a Nascent God Realm expert!" The general exclaimed in surprise at Jiu Shen’s sudden disappearance.
