Chapter 499: Domas In Shock

The next day, Domas, together with his subordinates, arrived at the entrance of Hard Rock City. 

From above the clouds, Domas surveyed the walls that surrounded the city. 

"Why did those three come to this backwater city?" A look of contempt flashed before Domas" eyes as he scanned the cracked earthen walls. 

A huge demon with dark blue skin moved beside Domas and whispered to his ears. "My Lord, I"ve located the aura of a few Winged Devils near our location. They must be the remaining members of Elder Hadji"s party." 

Domas smiled upon hearing this. "I know..." He replied.

He then slowly descended in front of the city gates right where Kadhar and his party were located. 

Meanwhile, Kadhar who had arrived here early in the morning was looking at the long queue of people. Suddenly, he frowned and raised his head. 

He saw five tall and muscular demons wearing dark battle armors. Their faces looked menacing and cruel. 

"Lord Domas!" Kadhar"s eyes widened like saucers when he saw the man leading the group. How could he not recognize the second strongest expert of the Dark Devil Race? 

Kadhar and his buddies immediately walked toward Domas" group and bowed their heads respectfully. A trace of fear also surfaced in the corner of their eyes.

"Greetings, Lord Domas! I"m Kadhar, the leader of this party. We have already arranged your accommodations beforehand. Please, follow us inside the city." Kadhar said in a humble manner. Although he didn"t like the Dark Devil Race, he had no choice but to show them respect. One single mistake from them would be disastrous for their race! He couldn"t afford to act carelessly. 

Domas glanced at the group of Winged Devils and furrowed his eyebrows as he said in a cold voice. "I have no time to waste here. Take me to the wine store immediately!" 

Kadhar could feel his soul going out of his body when he heard Domas" words. He then straightened his body and put on a forced smile as he answered. "Yes! Of course! This way please!" 

The members of Kadhar"s party didn"t even dare breathe loudly at this moment.

Outside the wine store, Jiu Shen was sitting leisurely on his chair. He had a calm look on his face as he stared at the sky. Behind him was an old man holding a cane. The both of them were silent the entire time, but then, they suddenly moved their gazes in a certain direction with their eyebrows furrowed. 

"Atlas, it seems like it was a bad idea to bathe in the sun today..." Jiu Shen muttered with a light smile on his face. 

At this moment, he could sense the aura of a late stage Heavenly G.o.d Realm expert moving in their direction. Furthermore, there were also two more early stage Heavenly G.o.d Realm experts and a few Supreme G.o.d Realm experts following behind him!

"Master, we must get inside the store. The Protective Array Formation should be enough to handle them!" Atlas had a grave look on his face. He was confident in his strength, but the one coming this time wasn"t a normal individual! 

However, to his surprise, Jiu Shen merely chuckled and said. "It wouldn"t be fun anymore if I do that. Besides, I want to see who is coming this time. Perhaps it might even be an acquaintance of mine..." 

Hearing this, Atlas sighed and bowed his head lightly. "Alright." 

Not long later, Jiu Shen and Atlas saw a group of demons slowly descending in front of the golden gates. From their physical appearance, he could already tell that they were Dark Devils and Winged Devils. 

"Since when are these two races so close to each other? Hold on... Isn"t that...Domas? To think that this guy is still stuck at the late stage of the Heavenly G.o.d Realm even after millions of years have pa.s.sed!" Jiu Shen thought to himself when he saw a familiar face among the group. 

Domas frowned as he looked at the dragon building behind the golden fences. He could sense a strong power all around the area. From his observations, he could tell that there were a few high-level Protective Array Formations inscribed all over the dragon building. Even the golden fences and the golden gates had the same hidden energy fluctuations! 

"What kind of wine store would have this many Protective Array Formations inscribed all over it?! I can"t accurately tell the level of the Array Formations, but I could sense the threat in them. That means that they are at least of the Heavenly G.o.d-rank level! Who could have so many resources to spend fortifying a mere wine store?!" Domas was filled with disbelief as he scanned the dragon building. Even the protection of their territory wasn"t as fortified as this place! 

Domas felt a sense of foreboding as he slowly stepped beyond the golden gates. Someone who could waste so many resources to protect a wine store wouldn"t be just any random person. He was also certain that the G.o.d Sword Region didn"t have this kind of wealth even in their peak period. 

"Lord Domas, is there anything wrong?" Kadhar asked when he saw the pale face of Domas. He was wondering why this scary demon was suddenly not looking so well after they arrived in the store. 

Domas" face regained clarity when he heard Kadhar"s voice. The reputation of the Dark Devils must not be stained. "Nothing..." He muttered as he carefully observed the surroundings. 

"Lord Domas, look! Those are Heavenly G.o.d-rank spiritual plants! And there"s a bunch of Supreme G.o.d-rank spiritual plants all over the place!" A Dark Devil pointed at the medicinal garden with a shocked look on his face. 

Domas followed his gaze and saw a dazzling sight that almost blinded his eyes. A vast variety of high-level spiritual plants neatly planted in rows and columns came into his sights!

"What the h.e.l.l! This is..." He couldn"t believe what he was seeing at this moment. Even the secret herbal garden in their territory couldn"t compare to the one in front of him. This was true wealth!
