Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 625: Chapter 388 To the Middle_1

After the Demonic Sky Gate Sect was thoroughly eradicated, peace gradually returned to the Western Wilderness Forces. For the several dozen sects that had initially pledged allegiance to the Demonic Sky Gate, the three Lords unanimously decided to preserve the sects, but they would manage their territories on their behalf.

And it certainly wouldn’t be fair to neglect the sects that followed the three Lords, so the resources and Spirit Stones of those several dozen sects were allocated to them as well.

The next morning, brimming with Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Logan stepped out of the tent and took a breath of fresh air, “Not bad, no more oppressive feeling in the air!”

“Where to next?” Bart Cloud asked, as the disturbances in the Western Wasteland had come to an end and it was time for both to leave and gain experience in other places.

“First, let’s dismantle those two arrays. We kept them up until yesterday just in case, but now there’s definitely no enemy left, and keeping them would only invite trouble.”

After some thought, Logan said so. After all, he couldn’t possibly stay in the Western Wasteland forever. According to his original plan, he and Bart Cloud would have left early this morning.

The two approached the arrays and glanced at the two huge arrays set up at the cost of fifty million Spirit Stones. To dismantle them after just one day caused Logan to sigh deeply. It was the first time he had set up arrays comparable to the Holy See’s, and it was definitely a historic moment.

However, Logan wasn’t the sentimental type and quickly dismantled the arrays. The Spirit Stones’ energy had already been used up by more than half—only less than a third of the Spirit Stones were still usable, but their Spiritual Energy was extremely weak, which obviously wasn’t worth Logan’s attention.

As soon as the two returned to the camp, the three Lords hurried over, “We know you can’t stay long, so thank you for everything. We will bear this favor in mind. Even if we can’t repay it in this lifetime, you’ll always be honored guests to us.”

“This is twenty million Spirit Stones, not as payment for you, but as a token of our gratitude. We know that your intervention against the Demonic Sky Gate wasn’t for a mere tens of millions of Spirit Stones, but we still wanted to show our appreciation, and we hope you’ll accept it without disdain.”

Cain Scarlet took out a spatial ring and handed it to Logan, “You are an Array Master and have many uses for Spirit Stones, so don’t refuse, or we’ll feel uneasy.”

“All right, I’ll take it,” Logan said with a light smile, accepting the spatial ring. Indeed, even though he had plenty of Spirit Stones, having tens of millions more was obviously a good thing, especially if he encountered a Sanctuary Powerhouse like the Demonic Sky Taoist again—he would have means to counter them.

“When do you plan to leave?” Sandy Wexler quickly asked, fearing that Logan might misunderstand, he hurriedly added, “We’re not trying to rush you away, it’s just that we understand you won’t stay long in insignificant Western Wasteland, so we wanted to be prepared to bid you farewell with a banquet before you depart.”

“No need for formalities, I’ll be leaving in the next day or two. Let’s skip the farewell banquet,” Logan shrugged. Cultivators were like wanderers drifting through the world; he and Bart Cloud would depart quietly without causing a stir. They were just passing through and had already become too involved with Cain Scarlet and the others.

At that moment, another person approached. It was Peregrine Azure, “I’m also planning to leave; in fact, I was meant to rush back to the Central Region overnight, but I thought I must say goodbye to Logan before setting off, so I waited till this morning.”

“I plan to go to the Central Region, how about we go together?” Logan suggested to Peregrine Azure with a bow. Since he and Bart Cloud were looking for a place to gain experience, why not visit the Central Region for a while? After all, with more forces and Sects, the Central Region was bound to have more opportunities and fortunes than the Western Wasteland.

Besides, his Qian Kun Bead had been taken by Aurelius Azure, who promised to return it in half a year. A trip to the Central Region would be good to get the Bead back after some time. Right now, Bart Cloud only had the strength of a complete Throne, so he was constantly in low spirits. Logan also wanted to help him increase his strength.

“This…” Peregrine Azure hesitated, unsure of how to respond, “The Central Region is different now. The rampant actions of the Demonic Sky Gate have enticed numerous Demon Cult Sects, and just yesterday, the Sect Leader informed me by carrier pigeon that there might be an impending conflict.”

“The Central Region is not like the Western Wasteland where the Sects are disunited, and there are huge disparities in strength between Sects. They’re always caught in a life-or-death struggle. On one hand, there are renowned and orthodox Sects like the Saint Sky Sect, which is also finding it hard to navigate the current situation in the Central Region.”

“That makes me even more interested!” Logan wasn’t only clever but could read between the lines of Peregrine Azure’s subtle words and analyzed the current situation in the Central Region. The unrest wasn’t solely caused by sects from the Demon Path; it was more about internal chaos within the Sects themselves.

After all, the Demonic Sky Gate had become history, a fact that had obviously made its way back to the Central Region. Why then were the Demon Sects still acting so brazenly? It suggested that they weren’t the real culprits, but merely an excuse for strife among the numerous Sects, perhaps related to many Sanctuaries visiting the Ancient Secret Realm.

Peregrine Azure was stunned and then showed a trace of joy. After all, he and Logan were now friends, and with the Saint Sky Sect facing a perilous situation, Logan might intervene just like he did with the Demonic Sky Gate. Why would he refuse such an opportunity?

As for Cain Scarlet and the others, they initially wanted to host a farewell banquet for Logan, but since he decided to go with Peregrine Azure, and due to the changing situation in the Central Region, there clearly wasn’t time to delay. Thus, the Lords bade Logan and his companions a simple farewell and watched them depart.
