Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 460 - 474: Capturing the Demon Lord

After the pleasantries, Mu Can directly threw all the students into Tongshen Mountain. He was not as gentle with these people; getting in was easy, but to get out, the requirement of winning five consecutive victories in the Duel Arena would quite likely deter many.

If not serious in cultivation, one might easily spend a long time hiding there.

After sending these people away, the entire Immortal Ancient City somehow became somewhat empty.

"Why are you here?" Mu Can, strolling in Immortal Ancient City, unexpectedly encountered someone—Donghuang.

"I was waiting for you," Donghuang stated his purpose.

Donghuang came to find Mu Can not to fight with him, but to make a deal. After getting Mu Can’s response, Donghuang left the Three Realms contentedly to seek new breakthroughs.

But Mu Can knew that when the day comes for the demonic entities from the domain outside to arrive, Donghuang would definitely return.

"It’s also time." Finishing arranging matters for Immortal Ancient Academy, Mu Can had even more critical and more dangerous tasks to undertake.

With a step forward, Mu Can next found himself inside the Demon Clan’s main camp.

The atmosphere in the Demon Clan’s camp was a bit tense; it seemed that Mu Can’s feat of defeating the enemy alone had greatly shocked the demons.

Mu Can directly appeared in the Demon Clan’s camp; coincidentally, the Demon Lords were gathered together and deeply absorbed in a heated discussion, to the point of not realizing someone extra had appeared in the venue.

"Cough cough." Mu Can coughed lightly. Finding that still nobody noticed him, the demons were engrossed in a debate.

It was about whether or not to continue the advance on Immortal Ancient City—the pressure brought by Mu Can earlier was simply too great.

"May I have a word?" Mu Can spoke softly, although he lowered his voice, it was as if he spoke directly into the ear of every demon.

The murmured whisper directly plunged the Demon World camp into silence; when they saw Mu Can, they collectively fell into hushing noises, as if Mu Can used Spiritual Power to confine their mouths.

"How... how did you come here?" No one would forget Mu Can’s face; if not for him, they probably would have been celebrating their victory at the Immortal Ancient Academy. But nothing is more unpredictable than life—a Void Level powerhouse, enough to shatter all their hopes to dust.

"I am here to discuss a deal," said Mu Can, pleased that he had attracted everyone’s attention and slowly walked to the most conspicuous position, spreading his hands to show he had no hostility.

"What exactly do you want?" asked the Demon Clan’s current Commander.

They had no clue about Mu Can’s intentions, but the young man standing before them had the power to exterminate them all. Hence, even if Mu Can were merely to fart, they would have to listen obediently.

Strength revered is one of the most important laws of the Demon World; Mu Can being the strongest meant he had the most say.

"I want to ask about the current situation in the Demon World. Since you all can descend to the Mortal World, you must know the configuration of the Demon World," said Mu Can slowly.

If it had been before his breakthrough to the Void Level, facing so many Demon Lords would be unbearable, but now, Mu Can stood there, and it was the Demon Lords who trembled in fear around him.

"Do you intend to go to the Demon World?" The leader of the Demon World inquired, catching Mu Can’s drift.

In his view, going to the Demon World at such a time was an unwise choice. The decline of the Demon World was slowly worsening, and currently, half of the territories had completely vanished into chaos.

"Yes, you can understand it that way. I need to meet the Demon Ancestor," Mu Can revealed openly—all the seated Demon Lords had another usefulness. They had caused such a massacre in the Mortal World, so if an invasion from the otherworldly demons were to happen, they would undoubtedly be sent to fight in the most dangerous battlefield.

They can die, but not now. Even in death, they must die meaningfully and with value.

These Demon Lords still did not realize that they were already on Mu Can’s kill list and thought he had changed his mind and wanted to negotiate peace.

"You seek an audience with the Demon Ancestor? Young man, it’s true you have the power to eliminate us all, but do you know the state of the Demon World?" Although they had to admit Mu Can’s strength, no one among them believed that Mu Can had the standing to negotiate with the Demon Ancestor.

"That’s not for you to worry about; I have my means," Mu Can shook his head and said.

His current goal was to consolidate the power of the Three Realms. According to the intelligence he had previously gathered, there were still at least a dozen Void Level beings in the Demon World who couldn’t leave. Mu Can quite coveted this power.

As for what really would happen once these people were transferred to the Mortal World, Mu Can wasn’t worried at all. Three months was enough time for dozens of Void Level beings to appear in the Mortal World.

"But before I go to the Demon World, I need you all to stay in one place for a while, but rest assured, I will ensure your safety," Mu Can changed the subject, continuing his statement.

"Do you mean to confine us?" asked the Demon World’s Commander, thinking Mu Can might make a move on them.

"Relax, there you can also gradually improve your strength, which is a bit better than wasting time in the Mortal World," Mu Can, seeing surrounding people acting as if they were about to die, couldn’t help but laugh.

"Why?" The Demon World’s Commander asked.

Mu Can knew what he was asking—why, when you clearly have the strength to sweep us away single-handedly, do you let us linger here without making a move.

This was in fact a question shared by everyone else.

Mu Can thought about it; he couldn’t possibly tell them he intended to use them as cannon fodder—all too damaging to their egos.

"How should I put it, a calamity is about to appear in the Three Realms; no one can remain uninvolved," Mu Can explained.

"Is it all just for some so-called calamity?" The Demon World’s Commander looked incredulous, as if he found it hard to believe Mu Can’s reason.

"Yes, I want to unite all the forces that can be united, so please endure some discomfort."

Mu Can surveyed the surroundings, just perfect—all the Demon Lords of the Demon Clan in Mortal World were caught in one swoop, directly thrown into New World’s prison area.

Although it was called a prison area, it was merely a part cut off by Mu Can with the power of the New World; the Spiritual Power here was much more deficient compared to other places but nonetheless sufficient for these demons.

These high-level Spiritual Powers would allow these Demon Lords to slowly advance.
