The territory of the Winged Devil Race was situated in an isolated valley. Because the place was inhabited by high-level savage beasts, few dared to venture within this valley. The higher-ups of the Winged Devil Race also reached an agreement with the high-level savage beasts to coexist together in the area.
The base of the Winged Devil Race was protected by tall earthen walls that prevented outside threats. However, this time, the territory was shaken by the arrival of a few individuals.
"Leader, Lord Domas of the Dark Devil Race has arrived!" An urgent voice rang out inside the building, waking up an old demon who was sitting listlessly on his chair. His tired eyes abruptly dilated when he heard the urgent shout of the messenger.
"What?! Lord Domas is here?! Quick! Bring him inside!" The old demon responded in surprise.
The door suddenly sprang open and a group of intimidating individuals walked inside the room with heavy footsteps. Leading this group was a tall and bulky demon with a pair of golden horns and dark blue skin. His menacing eyes scanned the old demon with a dark look.
When the old demon saw this guy, he immediately rose to his feet and bowed his head nervously as he greeted him in a slightly shaky voice. "Greetings, Lord Domas!"
Domas let out a mocking look on his face when he saw this, but he hurriedly kept a straight face. "Ventus, you should already know why I'm here. I don't want to waste my time, so just tell me what happened to Hadji. Lord Berith asked me to bring the culprits to him!" He muttered in a cold voice.
Ventus, the leader of the Winged Devil Race raised his head and secretly gulped when he saw the fearsome look of Domas. He was also shocked by the quick response of the Dark Devil Race. The death of Elder Hadji was only known by him and a few other Elders of the Winged Devil Race.
'How did the Dark Devil Race know about this?' Ventus muttered to himself.
"I- This... In truth, I dispatched Elder Hadji and a few Supreme God Realm Elders recently. We received a report that there was a strange movement from God Sword Region. After we got the report, I immediately sent Elder Hadji to verify it. Who knew that he would suddenly die because of this..." Ventus answered with a look of remorse on his aged face. Elder Hadji was a major pillar of their Winged Devil Race. Now that he was dead, it was only a matter of time before everyone would descend into panic.
Domas knitted his eyebrows upon hearing this. "God Sword Region? What did you guys discover? Tell me everything!" He said with a trace of a smile on his ferocious face.
Ventus didn't have the guts to conceal anything in front of this guy. With Elder Hadji gone, he was the only Heavenly God Realm expert left in the Winged Devil Race. It would be idiotic to go against Domas in a time like this. Not to mention that the guy was many times stronger than him.
"From Elder Hadji's last report, he said that they saw Yin Long, Gu San, and Ka Wayan visiting a wine store together. According to Elder Hadji, there might be something going on for the three of them to suddenly come to that wine store together."
A look of interest surfaced on Domas' face upon hearing this. The God Sword Region has been inactive since its defeat a few million years ago. It was indeed intriguing that their three surviving Heavenly God Realm experts were seen together in a wine store.
Domas grabbed Ventus shoulder and looked into his eyes as he said. "Tell me. Where can I find this wine store?"
Ventus almost blacked out from Domas' strong grip, but he still managed to reply. "Hard Rock City!"
Domas released Ventus and said. "Tell the surviving members of Elder Hadji's party to meet with us in Hard Rock City."
Ventus was surprised and he could not help but ask. "Lord Domas, you're going there in person?"
Domas' smile vanished as he moved his gaze towards Ventus. "You think you can handle Yin Long and the other two?!"
Ventus immediately closed his mouth and bowed his head in silence. He could not even refute Domas' words.
Seeing this, Domas scoffed in disdain. "Tell them that I will be there tomorrow." He muttered coldly.
"Yes, Lord Domas!" Ventus hurriedly answered.

Kadhar took out his communication crystal. He then heard Ventus' urgent voice.
"Kadhar, cease your investigations for tomorrow!"
Kadhar frowned and responded emotionally. "Leader, we have to be in that store tomorrow! Yin Long and the others might be gone if we don't move fast! If that happens, Elder Hadji's death would be in vain!"
"Shut up and listen to me! Lord Domas from the Dark Devil Race will come to Hard Rock City tomorrow! He will investigate this matter personally! You have to be there when he arrives!"
Kadhar's eyes constricted in surprise.
"What? Lord Domas?! Alright! I'll be there tomorrow!" He answered before putting away his communication crystal.
"Why is Lord Domas coming here in person? Is the Dark Devil Race already aware of Elder Hadji's death?" Kadhar felt fearful of the Dark Devil Race's power. It wasn't even long since Elder Hadji's death, but they were already sending a high-ranking expert to investigate the matter.
"What is the Dark Devil Race planning this time? Are they planning to destroy the God Sword Region for good?! With Lord Domas' strength, that isn't entirely impossible..." Kadhar muttered to himself with a blank look.
If a war would break out against the God Sword Region, Kadhar knew that his Winged Devil Race would be made as cannon fodder. He could already imagine what would happen to them when the time comes.
"Is this the end of the Winged Devil Race?" He muttered to himself with a lifeless look on his face.
