Chapter 579: Chapter 365 Hundred_1

Facing the half-conciliatory, half-threatening words of the Skull Elder, Logan chuckled. How dare he be so arrogant when his own situation was hanging by a thread? Logan waved to Bart Cloud to continue the fight. For someone as obstinate as this, it would be better to send them to hell.

Just as Bart Cloud was about to swing his giant sword, the Skull Elder became utterly terrified: “Wait, take it easy. My words may have been unclear just now. What I meant was that as long as you don’t work for Tanner Scarlet, we, the Demonic Sky Gate, are willing to offer double the amount of spirit stones he offers.”

“I’m not interested in spirit stones,” Bart Cloud responded, which the Skull Elder clearly didn’t believe. “One million spirit stones? We are ready to give three million. This dispute is too complicated, even if you win, you definitely won’t get away unscathed. Better to take the spirit stones and leave.”

“Don’t be fooled, the Demonic Sky Gate are notorious liars and cheats.” Tanner Scarlet had been in shock and only snapped out of it at this moment, he was afraid that Bart Cloud might be persuaded and that he himself would be screwed.

In fact, Tanner had never expected that Logan and Bart Cloud would be so powerful. Even a Strong Dominator like the Skull Elder was no match for them. As long as they kept him company, he would definitely be able to bring back the information unless the Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate made a personal appearance.

The key was that Logan and Bart Cloud were too young. Not much older than himself, Tanner had always been called the proud son of heaven since childhood, but after practicing for so many years, he was only at Middle-level Transcendent. His only ambition was to attain the Throne tier within the next fifty years. Compared to Logan, he felt like a dullard.

The Skull Elder kept raising his offer, finally offering ten million spirit stones. This offer was naturally ignored by Logan and Bart. Even Zhuge Wexler, who had been the lord of a city, had found it difficult to produce ten million spirit stones. Not to mention the now exhausted Demonic Sky Gate. If they really had that many spirit stones, they wouldn’t be conniving against the major lords.

Before Bart Cloud could act, Logan, already out of patience, struck a fatal blow to the Skull Elder, who was now barely hanging onto life. This spectacle made Tanner gasp. He had originally thought Bart Cloud was the strongest among the two, but it wasn’t until Logan made a move that he realized who the real powerhouse was.

The reason Logan had been observing the fight and not participating was not because he lacked strength, but because he felt the Skull Elder was too weak to be worth his effort. Being able to inflict severe injuries on a Strong Dominator with a single strike, his abilities could at least be considered at the Half-step Saint Seat at worst.

A bitter smile crossed Tanner’s face, and he fell into silence. Just who were these two he had met by chance? He had previously doubted if he could return safely to the Scarlet Clan, but now all his worries and doubts were completely dissipated.

Bart Cloud showed no mercy and finished off the Skull Elder with a sword swing: “You thought you were so tough, but you crumbled so easily!” When Tanner heard these words, he was left speechless. It wasn’t that the Skull Elder was too weak, but rather that Logan and Bart were too strong.

After all, having killed an elder of the Demonic Sky Gate, they were sure to be swiftly pursued. So the trio embarked on their journey again. Over the following period of time, they did not encounter any enemies. After a day’s journey, they were almost in the territory of the Wexler Clan.

However, Logan knew in his heart that the excessive tranquility was fraught with risks. The Demonic Sky Gate would by no means let Tanner get back safely with the information. As they were getting increasingly closer to the Scarlet Clan, the Demonic Sky Gate would go to any length to stop the trio.

There weren’t many who could stop someone as capable as Logan in this world, yet having to protect Tanner placed many considerations on him. He could only instruct Bart Cloud to stay on guard, lest Tanner be caught off guard and they lose face.

At that time, they were less than ten miles from the Scarlet Clan. Logan grew more puzzled: “What’s happening? Could the Demonic Sky Gate really let us leave unharmed? If they don’t start their pursuit soon, we’ll enter someone else’s territory.”

“I am also baffled,” Tanner was equally puzzled too. He had been a spy in the Demonic Sky Gate for a decade, and he knew their modus operandi very well. They would never let someone like him get away. But they were already so close, shouldn’t they have started pursuing by now?

Did they worry too much? Perhaps, the Demonic Sky Gate didn’t want to complicate things further. Or they achieved their goals; whether or not the message was delivered made no difference. In any case, they didn’t understand.

At this moment, an affable, harmless seeming old man approached them, “Gentlemen, I’m the vice-lord of the Scarlet Clan. Our lord is eagerly waiting for you at the city gate.”

“Vice-Lord?” Tanner’s brow furrowed. There had been no vice-lord in his absence for ten years. “How did the Lord come to know about my pursuit before I even returned?”

“The Lord’s divine skills are boundless, he naturally knows everything. There is more than only you spying on the Demonic Sky Gate.” The Elder replied calmly with a faint smile.

Logan gave a knowing smile. He saw through everything; the old man was not a member of the Scarlet Clan but an imposter from the Demonic Sky Gate. Although he managed to change his appearance, he couldn’t hide the aura of his cultivation and his inherent features.

However, since the old man wanted to keep pretending, Logan did not plan to expose him directly. Instead, he quietly watched from the side, eager to see how this performance would continue.

While Tanner was still in confusion, the elder continued, “You have worked hard these ten years, and on behalf of the Scarlet Clan, I want to express my sincerest gratitude. You have made great contributions and will be greatly rewarded when you return. I will personally recommend you to the lord, and at the very least, propose for you to become an elder.”
