It took them three days just to find the last leader-level devil.
Renshu Chang, unaware of the specifics, felt both happy for her and deeply moved.
She had truly done it.
Completing a thousand warrior-level devils wasn’t surprising, but ten leader-level devils, even at the early stage, was equivalent to surpassing a major realm.
He knew Amalia had no reason to lie to him.
Such a lie would be easily exposed.
"Junior Sister, you’re truly amazing," Renshu Chang exclaimed after he was stunned for a moment.
Now, he was genuinely convinced.
Talent alone wasn’t everything.
Some people had talent but never displayed the strength that matched it.
However, someone like Amalia, who not only had talent but could also challenge opponents above her level, was a rarity, emerging only once in a thousand years.
He had always thought that prodigies were impressive, but now it seemed that Amalia should be ranked among the top prodigies once her cultivation advanced further.
Amalia shook her head gently, "I was able to complete it so quickly thanks to Kenny holding off the great leader-level Devil. If I had to do it alone, it might have taken at least two months."
Renshu Chang opened his mouth but suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Two months? Was she being modest?
Kenny Lin chuckled softly, even though he quickly suppressed it.
Renshu Chang’s face turned red, and after a moment, he awkwardly said, "Anyway, it’s good that you came back safely."
He thought for a moment and then mentioned that Sunshadow City had recently been destroyed.
Someone had seen the City Lord’s body a hundred miles away from the city.
The City Lord from a Level 7 Devil city, was currently searching for the Nascent Soul cultivator who is responsible for it.
They were attacking any human cultivators they encountered below the Nascent Soul stage.
"Have you heard about this? You didn’t run into them, did you?"
Amalia was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Kenny Lin, suddenly understanding how they had encountered that last leader-level Devil.
"I know about Sunshadow City’s destruction. There aren’t many Devils to the south, and if you don’t go beyond a hundred miles, it’s hard to gather a thousand warrior-level Devils and ten leader-level Devils within a month. A Level 9 Devil City might manage it, just enough to meet the quota."
Devil cities do not dare to build within a hundred miles of human cities, especially large ones like Obsidian City, which sees countless human cultivators passing through daily.
Therefore, to find Devils, one must go deeper than a hundred miles; otherwise, it’s just barren land.
"I see, that makes sense. A Level 9 Devil city would have at least a thousand warrior-level Devils and four to six leader-level Devils," Renshu Chang said while nodding his head as he spoke, not fully grasping the implications.
Listening to their conversation, Junior Brother Yu was already dumbfounded.
Was he understanding this correctly?
He had thought their conversation was strange from the beginning.
Gathering a thousand warrior-level Devils and ten leader-level Devils—did that mean killing them?
So, had this Senior Sister Amalia attacked a Level 9 Devil City to reach that number, leading to its destruction?
His mind was struggling to process this.
It sounded very logical, but it seemed implausible.
Junior Brother Yu glanced at Senior Brother Chang, who hadn’t reacted at all, and doubted his own understanding.
It couldn’t be, right?
There was no way Senior Sister Amalia had destroyed Sunshadow City.
He must be overthinking it.
"But it must have been difficult to lure the Devils out. You must have put a lot of effort into it," Renshu Chang said sympathetically.
Amalia coughed lightly, "Not too much. With Kenny’s help in diverting the City Lord of Sunshadow City, and with two leader-level Devils coincidentally being away with over a hundred warrior-level Devils, I had the opportunity."
Renshu Chang blinked, meeting her gaze.
Amalia saw he wasn’t reacting much and exchanged a glance with Kenny Lin.
Had they overwhelmed him?
"Did you and Junior Master Uncle destroy Sunshadow City?"
Cai Jianjun’s voice suddenly broke in.
He had just arrived and noticed Amalia’s breakthrough to the late Foundation Building stage.
Before he could express his surprise, her words had already stunned him.
" It’s just a stroke of luck," Amalia said, somewhat puzzled.
Upon returning to the city, she learned that destroying a Level 9 Devil City had caused such a commotion.
She didn’t understand why everyone was so shocked—it was just a Level 9 Devil City.
"This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s discuss this inside," Cai Jianjun suggested while glancing around.
The uproar over Sunshadow City hadn’t died down, and many people were still talking about it.
Everyone followed him to his residence, and Renshu Chang remained silent the entire way.
"Kelvin Yu, you stay outside and don’t repeat what you just heard to anyone, do you understand?"
Cai Jianjun instructed Renshu Chang’s junior brother once they arrived.
Junior Brother Yu, eager to hear more of the thrilling details, reluctantly obeyed and slowly walked out.
"Did you and Junior Master Uncle really destroy Sunshadow City?" Cai Jianjun asked them again as soon as the door closed.
"Is there a problem with that?" Kenny Lin responded calmly while looking at him with an indifferent gaze.
Cai Jianjun smiled wryly, "No problem. It’s just that Junior Master Uncle is indeed more formidable than he appears. So, it was Junior Master Uncle who killed Muzith the City Lord of Sunshadow City, right?"
Kenny Lin remained composed, "We paid a small price for it."
Seeing Kenny Lin standing before him, completely unscathed, Cai Jianjun couldn’t discern what price had been paid.
He finally understood why Master Lian had accepted Kenny Lin as a disciple.
Master Lian always had his reasons.
"I am truly impressed," Cai Jianjun admitted sincerely.
He now fully acknowledged the abilities of Master Lian’s disciples.
With such monstrous talent, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them.
Master Lian’s judgment was indeed sharp, "What about the ten leader-level Devils?"
