Chapter 691
The two Demons worked together to send Thirty-seven back inside the separate dimension at that point .
They couldn't control the automaton, but the fact that it was losing energy, coupled with a few promises, convinced him to return to the Hive .
Thirty-seven could travel through the dimension freely since he had set its structure, and he wasn't affected by its length like ordinary cultivators .
He could just travel from side to side in a matter of hours since he could directly fuse with its fabric .
That greatly helped in setting exits in strategic points since Chasing Demon couldn't just leave the headquarters of the Hive .
Flying Demon had to learn how to create entrances and exits in the years spent inside the tunnel, but it didn't take him much to achieve that with the help of the automaton .
Yet, in the end, the Hive obtained a tunnel that connected the desert in the southwestern coast with the Coral archipelago and the Udye mansion .
Noah and the two Demons followed Ian that led them in the private quarters of the powerhouse of his family .
Daniel, Octavia, and two other heroic cultivators went with them and bowed when the aged figure of a rank 5 cultivator appeared in their view .
Noah and the Demons performed polite gestures too when they saw an elderly man sitting in the middle of a hall illuminated by a multicolored light .
The elderly man had long white hair and a long white beard, but he appeared refined and full of energy .
The source of the multicolored light was a peculiar fire burning behind the cultivator .
The color of the tongues of flames changed every second in a perpetual cycle .
They would go from the brightest red color to the darkest blue shade, only to return red after passing through other colors .
The trio from the Hive could immediately understand that the cultivator used that fire to gain enlightenment on the laws of the fire element .
"The power of your family is surprising . "
Dreaming Demon said after the doors of those quarters closed behind her back .
Noah couldn't help but nod internally at that compliment .
Noble families usually struggled to have heroic cultivators in their ranks, but the Udye family had five of them in the fourth rank and one in the fifth!
'This is surprising even for the strongest noble family . The other big nations are lucky that the power of the Utra nation is so fragmented . '
Noah thought as he updated his calculations concerning the assets of the other forces .
The Hive had a bit more than sixty heroic cultivators after the growth experienced in the last years and the return of the two Demons .
However, he knew that the big nations were bound to have a few hundred of them .
The Papral nation and the Utra nation didn't have a united front though, so that number didn't reflect the actual power that the Council and the Royals could unleash .
"Please, my family isn't worthy of your compliments when it failed to achieve the same feats of the archipelago . I'm Amos Udye, and I officially welcome you to my family . May our plan benefit us both . "
Amos stood up to perform a bow after he said those words, and some of the nobles in the room showed complex expressions at that sight .
Their family had asked the help of the Hive, which was renowned for being the house of traitors and criminals .
Also, Amos had bowed toward Noah too, who was more than famous for his crimes against the nobility .
The end justified the means, but some of those nobles weren't happy to see what they considered criminals receive so much respect .
