Chapter 348 - Those Who Walk On The Path Of Greed (1)
By time Lilith returned, she saw that both Kai and Sahara were walking around in the lodge. Both of them looked as though they had just came back to life after partying at the weekend.
They then turned their gaze towards Lilith before giving her a nod.
"We will be taking our leave now. Though we will be coming back soon." Kai said as Lilith gave them a nod.
She then moved forward and rested a hand on both of their shoulders.
"You have my blessings. For an entire week, your demon powers will be twice as strong as before. Just in case you require them." Lilith said before the two of them vanished.
'Good luck.' She silently though and was once again left alone in her lodge.

"That was Lilith right?" Sahara asked the moment they came back.
"So you knew about her."
"Of course I knew who she was. But it would have been awkward if we had started talking so quickly without meeting for so long. I will try to tell her about it in our next visits."
The duo then exchanged a glance before they felt the connection trigger inside their bodies. They suddenly felt six presences inside their body, each of them belonging to a certain sin.
However they didn't know which presence was of which sin. But one thing they knew was that two of them were on the demon realm. After focusing on the two presences, Kai realized that one of the, was coming from the capital, or at least the place he remembered as the capital.
"I wonder where Kin went." Kai muttered as he remembered the old man's statement about the capital.
He had said that not a single sin was present at the capital and that there was no way that it could have escaped his eyes.
This meant two things, either Kin had been lying to him or the sin was in hiding or was being hidden.
This made Kai remember how Risea had been captured by the Central continent's ruler and how she had been forced to make pills.
This made him wonder whether a similar thing could have happened to the sin. Which automatically resulted in Kai thinking about barraging towards the demon capital and destroying the palace to find the sin.
If he did this during night while being in his true demon mode, he would be as strong as a spirit immortality realm cultivator but there were other factors in the equation.
Kai could not stay in his demon mode for a long time and there was a chance that he might go berserk. The second thing was that he had no idea how powerful the current royal family was or who the ruler was.
Since Kin had never seen any of the sins in his life, there was a chance that the current ruler would be one of them. This in turn would make things even more complicated.
But Kai knew that he could do something about this.
"Oh you are back." Kin suddenly said as he landed on the ground beside the two figures. He had been cultivating in another part of the garden and when he had felt the duo's presence, he immediately had flown towards them.
"Kin, there is a sin in the capital." Kai replied as the old demon looked dubious. He knew that there was a possibility of it happening if Kai was saying this with such confidence.
"Tell me, is the capital and the regions around it facing any kind of certain emotion. Like the demons are suddenly more lustful or are just extremely lazy?" Sahara asked in a serious tone as something immediately clicked inside his mind.
"The royals and nobles are too greedy." His reply made Kai and Sahara exchange a glance.
This meant that, Sema was somewhere near the place.
Sema was the sin of greed and around her, people's greed for their desired thing would increase immensely. There was a way that this would result in a mass outbreak of greedy people trying to fulfill their desires.
But that greed would continue to go on unless the person died or resisted it. And most of the time, the first option was what stopped these people.
"Then that's where we are going." Kai replied as Kin looked at him with disbelief.
"There is no way that you are thinking of doing that. The current demon emperor is at the spirit immortality realm. Unless…" Kin suddenly remembered that he should never judge Kai's power level and growth.
"I can rival people at the spirit immortality realm though I am not sure for how long."
"That's not exactly reassuring."
"Stop with this non sense. Tell us whether you are coming or not?" Sahara asked as Kin chuckled.
"I was just telling you about the information I knew. If you still want to go to the capital, we can do that." Kin replied as the trio then vanished.
But halfway to the capital, Kai suddenly had to stop the teleportation. His original plan was to take all of them to the capital's entrance and then infiltrate the city from there.
But a barrier had forced him to stop his teleportation halfway.
"Kin, did the royal family hire someone to create a barrier this big and powerful or is there a unknown formations master in the family?" Kai slowly asked as his eyes started examining the barrier.
It was an invisible barrier that prevented people from the outside to enter inside it. And it was powerful enough to stop Kai's teleportation too.
"This is from a treasure. I remember Chen telling me about some kind of treasure that the demon emperor had found out. The treasure was a barrier globe that covered the entire capital and a very large radius around it. But I didn't think that it would be strong enough to stop your teleportation too." Kin admitted.
Now there were two things that Kai could do. He could either first go and find the second sin present on the demon realm and then come back to find Sema later on.
Or he could just try to dismantle the barrier created by the treasure.
He decided to choose both of the options.
