A large castle stood some distance outside the capital of the Sun Kingdom, with a large garden and surrounded by a high stone wall. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

There were many guards walking around castle, wearing thick armors and holding cold weapons tightly in their hands.

If anyone saw this castle, they would realize that this castle was the residence of Duke Blackwater, a famous Duke of the Sun Kingdom and a well-known Warrior.

The atmosphere of the castle had always been calm and although the guards seemed to be patrolling, in fact, they had let down their guard and were just going through the motions.

After all, in their minds, Duke Blackwater was not only a Duke, but also a Great Warrior.

Only someone that was tired of living would dare to attack this place.

Unfortunately, in their carelessness, they didn't notice that an unexpected visitor had at some unknown time arrived at the castle.

Standing on the stone wall, Chu Wuyao looked at the castle in the distance and her eyes seemed able to pass through its walls and see right through it, observing every place in it.

"It seems that the investigation of the church is correct.", she muttered when she felt a somewhat familiar aura coming from deep into the castle.

Following her words, Chu Wuyao jumped off the wall and landed silently on the ground, landing right behind one of the patrolling teams.

Even though she was standing behind them, the guards didn't notice her existence at all, as if she was invisible in their eyes and senses

The next second, a white mist flashed in Chu Wuyao's eyes and immediately, the consciousness of all of these guards was pulled into the Secret Realm.

Less than a second later, the vitality on the guards' bodies disappeared and their eyes became empty, before they fell to the ground dead.

Chu Wuyao only briefly glanced at this scene and then, she waved her hand to create a fire, burning the corpses and all the evidence with them.

Then, she stepped forward, walking through the garden, her steps steady and unhurried.

Every time she met a team of guards, she would pull their consciousness into the Secret Realm and it would soon be wiped out.

Her actions were very quick and before long, the last guard of the castle fell to the ground, before turning into ashes.

However, Chu Wuyao didn't stop this one-sided slaughter, but walked right into the castle.

Just like the outside, its interior of the castle was also filled with people, wearing clothes of maids or servants.

Unfortunately, despite their apparent identity, all these people had the exact same fate, falling to the ground dead, with their consciousness being wiped out.

While dealing with these people, Chu Wuyao's target was quite clear.

Her target was the center of the castle and it the place from where the aura she had previously sensed was coming from.

In a large room, two figures were standing in front of a stone statue which depicted a big ball.

This statue looked exactly the same as the statue of the Creation God, except that it was black and there were many twisted lines on its surface.

One of the people in the room was a middle aged man, whose fame spread throughout the Sun Kingdom, Duke Blackwater.

On the other hand, the identity of the other person was hidden, as he wore a long black robe and a silver mask covered his face.

Looking at the man that stood next to him, the eyes of Duke Blackwater flashed with a hint displeasure.

"When is your leader going to take action? I must remind you that it is only because of our assistance that you've managed to escape the Holy Church's search."

"If you keep delaying time, the Pope's opinion of you might change.", Duke Blackwater said and his words were quite threatening.

However, the masked man didn't seem to notice as he chuckled for a split second before speaking:

"Don't worry. Senior brother Mu has promised your Pope that he will provide assistance to the Demon Cult and he'll surely keep his word."

"It's just that just like the people of this world, there are also some conflicts between us, the extraterrestrial demons."

"To take action, senior brother Mu has to deal with the other people first. Otherwise, they might interfere with our plans and hurt us in the long-term."

The masked man's words revealed his identity, an "extraterrestrial demon", otherwise known as a cultivator.

When Duke Blackwater heard his words, he snorted coldly and continued threatening: "You better keep your word. The Holy Church is already hunting you down. I believe that you don't want to have the Demon Cult hunt you down too."

However, despite what he said, Duke Blackwater was actually quite pleased inwardly.

In fact, although the Demon Cult "accepted" the extraterrestrial demons, the two parties only agreed to cooperate with each other and most people in the Demon Cult didn't trust them.

If it were not for the Pope's words and their common enemy, the people in the Demon Cult would have long fought against these strange extraterrestrial demons.

Now, hearing that there were conflicts within these guys too, Duke Blackwater was somewhat relieved.

In his mind, it would be better if the extraterrestrial demons killed each other, lowering their threat to the cult!

But then, he thought of something and couldn't help but become furious.

"Those damn heretics from the so-called Holy Church! How dare they start a Holy War?"

"How many people of our religion have died in their hands so far?"

"I hope that our Lord will bring destruction upon them and wipe out those damn heretics!", Duke Blackwater cursed in a low voice, his body trembling in anger.

It was only when he looked at the black ball in the center of the room, the statue of the Destruction God that he calmed down a little.

However, just when his body was about to relax, the masked man next to him suddenly spoke up:

"Have you noticed that the castle has become strangely quiet?"
