Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 626: 640: A Slap

Capítulo 626: Chapter 640: A Slap

Mu Can really ought to thank that unlucky Demon Clan member; without him, this trip to the Volcano World wouldn’t have been so easy.

Ye Feng and Da Zhuang both disguised themselves as followers of Mu Can, while the unlucky one pretended to be Mu Can’s Housekeeper. Wang Cai, after taking the Transformation Pill, turned into a member of the Dog Demon Clan, but since the Dog Demon Clan holds the lowest status in this Volcano World, he was made to follow the unlucky one.

During this journey, Mu Can truly understood just how chaotic the Volcano World was; practically every place bore marks of battles, and many bodies were left unburied, their stench of blood mixed with decaying flesh was nauseating. Mu Can even saw a corpse of the Stone Demon Clan that was the size of a small hill, not knowing who had slain him there.

“Are we, the Demon Clan, going to fight until we’re wiped out?” Mu Can voiced his doubt.

Given the severity of this internal strife, countless Demon Clan members died each day. If it continued like this, there was no need for the Human Clan to attack; the Demon Clan would likely exhaust themselves to death before long.

The unlucky one explained to Mu Can that the Demon Clan were indeed an inexhaustible presence. In the Volcano World, there existed a portal to the Sealing World; continuously, low-ranking demons from that portal would join the battle.

“Are you telling me this Volcano World is connected to the world where the Angel Envoy is sealed?” Mu Can widened his eyes. He had never considered this possibility, and if it were as the unlucky one had described, then the significance of the Volcano World to the entire Demon Clan was beyond obvious.

As they drew closer to the territory of Terino, they encountered fewer battles, which seemed to indicate that Terino was powerful enough to deter nearby Demon Clan from attacking. However, the unlucky one also mentioned that this was only the surface situation; currently, Terino was beset by internal and external troubles, facing combined assaults from several Duke Demon Clans, and appeared increasingly overwhelmed, desperately recruiting warriors and high-skilled individuals.

Mu Can, leveraging his disguise as a member of the Dragon Demon Clan, swaggered into Terino’s residence. The audacity alone could terrify the faint-hearted.

If he were to be discovered, death was certain. Yet, Mu Can exploited the opponent’s complacency; in the entire Volcano World, no one could imagine someone daring to infiltrate, much less under the guise of a Dragon Demon Clan member venturing into a duke’s home.

Terino welcomed Mu Can greatly as his rise in the Volcano World was absolutely tied to Lord Bakar, and he always regarded himself as a loyal servant under Lord Bakar.

Terino, a member of the Enchanting Demon Race, was an anomaly among his kind because he could cultivate. In the Volcano World, the Enchanting Demon Race’s status was only slightly better than that of the Dog Demon Clan, but most of the Enchanting Demon Race had no combat ability, and were even weaker than the Dog Demon Clan. Nevertheless, the men and women of the Enchanting Demon Race were exceedingly handsome and beautiful, and many of them ended up as toys for other demon races.

Standing in front of Terino, even Mu Can felt somewhat inferior; Terino was incredibly handsome. Just standing there made people unconsciously gaze at him, and when he spoke, he exuded the charm of a Scholar, making it easy to feel close to him unwittingly. Mu Can internally sensed something was wrong; he shouldn’t be feeling this way towards a member of the Demon Clan. There was something off about Terino.

Not just Mu Can, Ye Feng and Da Zhuang were almost overwhelmed, their looks towards Terino filled with fanaticism.

Thinking this, Mu Can strode up to Terino and coldly said, “Are you courting death? Withdraw your charm.”

Hearing Mu Can’s words, Terino’s face turned slightly red, and both Ye Feng and Da Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. Terino was terrifyingly influential; as a man, he could even charm other men. If it weren’t for Mu Can, they would have become his slaves.

“My lord!” Terino’s look turned to one of respect. Successfully resisting his charm proved the true strength of the Dragon Demon Clan.

Slap!

Mu Can directly slapped Terino’s face hard, leaving everyone stunned, even the unlucky one was shocked and drew his weapon in readiness to fight against Terino. This was not just a simple assault; a slap in the Volcano World against a duke was a blatant insult.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Terino just paused for a moment then looked at Mu Can with utmost reverence, bowing his head in a submissive gesture that puzzled everyone around.

Seeing Terino’s reaction, Mu Can felt completely relieved. This was the right move. If he hadn’t slapped him, Terino might still harbor doubts, but by fully displaying the Dragon Demon Clan’s arrogance, Terino would no longer dare to question him.

Indeed, after the slap, their relationship seemed to have gotten much closer, and Terino shared his current plight with Mu Can, even hinting at seeking assistance. Now besieged on all sides, Terino was struggling to hold off the assaults from four dukes, gradually losing his territory, now losing nearly one-third of it already. Despite appearing calm, Terino was likely in turmoil internally.

Although Terino was an anomaly among the Enchanting Demon Race and could cultivate, combat was not his forte.

Mu Can thought it over and agreed to help, but also made his demand.

The Nine-colored Fire Lotus.

He had not forgotten his objective. If he could find the Nine-colored Fire Lotus, he could leave the Volcano World. Every additional minute spent here meant another day of danger.

“Nine-colored Fire Lotus?” Terino’s expression changed, and he verified it once more.

“What? Is there a problem?” Mu Can looked at Terino, asking seriously.
