Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 626

Chapter 626
Noah flew across the western coastline for a few weeks before reaching his destination .

The vast mountain chain that divided the two big nations appeared in his view, but Noah's attention was on the small city that stood on the coast .

The city of Slyfall hadn't changed in those years, it still appeared as a pirate's hideout, with simple buildings and dirty streets .

His presence though didn't go unnoticed since a figure neared Noah as soon as he flew over it .

Noah saw a middle-aged man flying toward him .

His robe didn't carry any emblem, but his well-kept aspect showed that he was somewhat remarkable in that city .

Also, he was a rank 4 cultivator in the gaseous stage, it would be impossible to reach that level while living in that city unless he had some sort of control over its resources .

"My Lord, I'm Drew, the son of the governor of this city . It's been such a long time since someone of your rank visited us, please join me in-"

Drew stopped speaking when he took a good look at Noah's face .

The city of Slyfall gathered information from both Utra nation and Empire, Noah's wanted poster couldn't possibly have escaped the sight of the force that ruled it .

Drew's social skills weren't bad, he had dealt with criminals and traitors for all his life in Slyfall .

However, Noah's cold gaze froze his mind and made him unable to show his skills in entertaining influential guests .

Noah felt hunger rising inside him .



Drew was weaker than him, he had probably advanced to the heroic ranks in the last two decades, which put him below Noah's level .

'Slyfall claims to be an independent city, but it enjoys the backing of certain powerful factions of both Elbas family and Empire . The so-called governor has probably been planted here from one of the two sides . '

Noah suppressed his hunger when he thought that .

There would be time to act as he wanted, but doing it right next to the Utra nation wasn't the smartest choice .

Also, killing a rank 4 cultivator wasn't exactly a small matter, especially one who was possibly controlled by two big nations .

Their battle would inevitably affect the city below them, and Noah believed that such a den of criminals would have been already destroyed if the two big nations didn't benefit from it .

Noah turned his gaze toward the city at that point while taking out the diplomatic token that the Hive had prepared for him .

The word "Recruiter" appeared inside Drew's mind when his mental energy swept the token, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he understood that Noah wasn't there to create chaos .

"L-lord Balvan, the city of Slyfall has many entertaining activities suitable for your status . Please, follow-"

"Is the Broken Cup still selling stolen items?"

Drew managed to show his social skills when that oppressing gaze left his figure, but Noah suddenly interrupted him to question him about a simple tavern .




"Ehm, I would never allow such a treacherous business in my city! I can assure you that I would personally take down anything-"

Drew began to speak again, but Noah put an end to his phase with another intense stare .

Drew felt as if a powerful beast was observing him and evaluating which parts of his body were tastier, Noah was making him feel as if he was a common prey .

It didn't take him much to realize that it was pointless to pretend in front of the famous Demon Prince .

"Yes, the tavern still hosts an underground market . I can set up a meeting with Gillian, the manager of the market if the Lord wants . "

Drew explained everything without holding even Gillian's name back, but Noah declined his offer with a few words .

"No need, she is an old friend . "

The Broken Cup was still the same .

Drunk men and women still filled its insides, and the waitresses handled the occasional small fights on the floors .

It was a typical day for those rank 1 cultivators and commoners, no significant business happened in that city after all .

However, the tavern suddenly began to tremble, and the sunlight began to illuminate its interiors to their surprise .

Those men and women raised their gaze only to discover that the roof of the tavern had disappeared and that not even a small debris had fallen over them .



A young-looking cultivator was floating above the now open ceiling, but those simple drunkards couldn't understand the depths of his cultivation level .

"Out . "

Noah said just one word, but all the commoners and weak cultivators left the tavern after it .

Only the waitresses remained inside the tavern, and their faces clearly showed the fear that they felt when they looked at the heroic cultivator above them .

'This formation can fend off my mental waves, quite impressive . Yet, I can smell the presence of a few people in the underground chamber . '

Noah thought before diving toward the underground area .

The lines of the protective formation appeared and flickered when Noah touched the floor, but they weren't able to hinder his motion at all .

Noah simply pierced the floor and landed in the underground room where he found a naked Gillian sitting over a tied man .

The man wasn't entirely conscious, it seemed that something was being drained from him as Gillian kept on moving over him .

"I knew you would return . Can you let me finish before killing me? I would like to enjoy myself one last time . "

Gillian began to speak without turning .

Noah could finally make out her level: she was a rank 3 cultivator in the solid stage with a rank 3 mind and a rank 4 body in the middle tier .

Also, he was able to sense that there were other chained men hidden inside that chamber, but they were little more than corpses .

It seemed that even a small touch could make them crumble into pieces .

'She has realized who I am even if her mind can't see me, it should be the work of the formation . '

Noah thought before applying a bit of pressure on all the men in the room .

The mental spheres of those men exploded under that pressure, they died in less than an instant as soon as Noah willed it .

"Cold as usual . Go ahead, kill me . My organization has survived battles on a level that you can't even conceive, the fact that you have reached the heroic ranks won't scare me . "

Gillian turned when Noah killed those men, and her naked body was wholly revealed to him .

Gillian was quite beautiful, but her body seemed surrounded by a peculiar halo that made her figure extremely captivating .

Of course, Noah wasn't affected in the slightest .

"The battle you are talking about is that between Ravaging Demon, Charming Demon, and Devouring Demon? I would like to hear more about it . "

Noah spoke, and Gillian couldn't help but show an amazed expression, she was beginning to understand that Noah wasn't there to kill her .
