A Demon's Journey

Chapter 358 - Turning Disaster Into Opportunity



While Azaroth was on his way to the battlefield between the Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect, he narrated the recipe for the poison to Bianca.

Bianca quickly wrote down all the instructions and made notes.

She decided that it was time to act against Liam Parker and kidnap him. The plan to kidnap Liam Parker was rather simple.

She planned to have her personal maid kidnap this man from his house. Liam's house had quite a bit of security, but Bianca was confident that her subordinate could take care of them all and kidnap Liam without revealing her true identity.

This was actually the most important part of this mission. If she revealed her true identity, and it was leaked somehow, then Bianca would begin to be suspected as well.

Azaroth would lose another piece within the Sinyalian Kingdom. With just Josephine, it would be quite difficult to manipulate the events within the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Bianca was situated at the center of this Kingdom. Moreover, her identity was such that no one would even dare to suspect her.

She had an extremely clean background, and anyone suspecting her would be pointing fingers at the captain of the Royal Guards as well. This was something no one dared to do at this point.

The King had entrusted the lives of his Royal Family members to Spencer. There was no team other than the Royal Guards that was protecting the king and his family.

From this, it was clear just how much the king trusted Spencer.

On that very same night, Liam Parker disappeared from his house. His house seemed to have been turned upside down as parts of it were burned while some parts of it were sliced off. The door to his room especially had been sliced off into two.

The law enforcement officials arrived the next day as they stared at the entire scene.

Whoever abducted Liam and his family left behind no signs for these investigators to pursue. It felt as if they had vanished into thin air.

In reality, these individuals had been taken to an empty cabin that was a little far away from Mesenana City.

Bianca couldn't take this man too far away, or it would be difficult for her maid to explain her absence.

She did all this task in the night and returned by the daytime with no one being the wiser.

Bianca had asked her to completely bind them so they couldn't move from their spots. With no food or water intake, the entire family was bound to be extremely tired at night.

At that time, Bianca planned to meet with this alchemist and put up her offer.

In the meantime, something greatly shocking occurred in the Glerian Kingdom.

The Origin Sect's reputation had been greatly rising in the Glerian kingdom since they had recently humbled the Dragon Tiger Palace by slaughtering many of their geniuses.

The Dragon Tiger Palace had tried to make the Origin Sect pay for it multiple times, but they had failed each time. In fact, they hadn't just lost against the Origin Sect. They had lost to a lowly branch of the Origin Sect.

It was such a lowly branch that the main branch actually never really paid it any attention. Yet, the Dragon Tiger Palace failed to deal with it.

Naturally, all the citizens and members of the other associations were startled to hear this news.

However, today something even more shocking has occurred.

The same Origin Sect that had humbled the Dragon Tiger Palace had recently been attacked by demons!

Moreover, this wasn't a single demon or dozens of demons. There were hordes of demons charging at the Origin Sect. Not just its main branch, but multiple branches of the Origin Sect had been targeted by these hordes of demons.

All the Origin Sect's branches had been caught off-guard by this attack.

The demons weren't actually strong as no demon lord joined this attack. However, the numbers were definitely the issue. Each branch had been hit with hundreds of thousands of demons.

Meanwhile, each branch of the Origin Sect only had at the maximum of thousands of disciples.

Even if elders possessed great strength and they could slaughter multiple demons, they had a limit.

They were bound to be exhausted at some point. And the demons could slaughter them at that point.

For that reason, the Origin Sect immediately activated their defensive barriers and began to buy many pellets as they prepared to go on war against these demons.

The main branch of the Origin Sect was clearly doing fine. They had many 5 Star Warriors, and they also possessed superior killing formations around the sect.

The same wasn't true for the branches of the sect. Only the prosperous branches of the Origin Sect had been engraved with a killing array.

Only these prosperous branches of the Origin Sect possessed the capability to easily deal with the large numbers of these demons.

They were the ones responsible for distributing pellets, array masters, and array resources to the other branches.

The sect master of the Origin Sect wanted to use this disaster and turn this into an opportunity and upgrade the defenses of all the branches of the Origin Sect.

The expenditure would be huge, but the sect master was extremely decisive. He knew that if he didn't do this, all these branches would be destroyed by these demons.

And since they were going to invest quite a bit, it would be better to invest big and turn it into a long-term project.

Even Azaroth didn't expect that the Sect Master of the Origin Sect would use this disaster as an opportunity and upgrade the defenses of all the branches of the Origin Sect.

He just wanted to damage the Origin Sect a bit and push them to the edge before holding a meeting with them.

However, the Sect Master was an extremely decisive person. He wasn't just going to let the Origin Sect experience a great loss like this. While the entire Glerian Kingdom was shocked at this sudden attack by the demons, he had instantly thought of a solution that would eventually benefit the Origin Sect.

Naturally, this didn't mean that Azaroth's plan had failed. The fact remained that the Origin Sect would expend many resources to deal with the demons or for their future development.

Azaroth's plan was to provide them with those resources at a reasonable price, obviously.

It was a pure coincidence that while he was thinking of attacking the Origin Sect, the Black Lake Sect had suddenly declared war against the Night Mountain Sect.

He knew that the presence of demons was also going to affect these two sects. They were sure to try and cut their war short so that they could prepare their respective branches against the threat from these demons.

Azaroth knew he had to reach the battlefield quickly and prevent this from occurring.

The women had finally woken up from their unconscious state. They were completely silent as they realized that what they had seen and experienced was all a dream or an illusion.

They realized that they were struck by Azaroth's presence. However, it was so strong that they had actually fallen unconscious and begun to hallucinate.

The one who was most shocked among them was none other than Rosalie. She stared at her beautiful Spirit Bangles that could block any Spiritual Energy. However, these Spiritual Bangles were now cracked in the middle.

Clearly, they were struck with a strong influx of Spiritual Energy and cracked as they couldn't block that kind of energy.

She had a fearful look as she looked at Azaroth's body. The corpses she had witnessed had completely changed her mind about Azaroth. He wasn't some young guy whom she could tease.. Instead, he was a monster who had seen everything the world had to offer.
