Witchās Family.
The Black Cat Wizard Group successfully returned, the Cat Witch gracefully walking on invisible steps, slowly descending.
The Old Witch looked at her with concern and said:
"Are you alright?"
The Cat Witch replied:
"Iām fine, Lady Witch. This matter was fraught with twists and turns, but luckily a path appeared from the heavens, and we were rescued by the Dusk Hall Master. The Hall Master and Triss are my benefactors."
The witch turned pale and said:
"That damned Shining Gold Wizard, even when fellow wizards are in danger, is still scheming. Standing firm at the defense line is just an excuse. I must go to the Star Tower Master and lodge a complaint."
The Cat Witch said:
"The Letney Family thinks our group of witches is easy to bully. Sigh."
The Old Witch said:
"The kindness of the Dusk Hall Master indeed needs to be repaid. In a few days, we will invite him and host a banquet. All the witches who are not engaged in battles and are home should attend. Notify them."
The Cat Witch said:
"No problem, but I left in a hurry. I donāt know if the Dusk Hall Master managed to get away safely, after all, he faced a level 8 demon."
The Old Witch said:
"Donāt worry. I know the strength of the Dusk Hall Master quite well. Even if heās not a match for the level 8 demon, he can surely escape. Over the years, many level 8 demons have tried to capture him but havenāt succeeded yet. He is cautious and wouldnāt trap himself in risk... maybe he can even counter-kill that demon."
The Cat Witch laughed upon hearing this.
"Lady Witch, please donāt joke. Even if the Dusk Hall Master can defeat the Demon Fish Venerable, capturing it is unlikely. There is a major realm difference, after all."
After she finished, she muttered to herself.
"Is it really possible?"
Thinking of this, she opened the Level 8 Demon Slaughter List.
Since the Dusk Hall Master ranked highly, she was familiar with the points of the top ten.
In the next moment, the Cat Queenās small cherry mouth slightly opened, her complexion changing several times, then she suddenly exclaimed:
"Lady Witch, you really guessed right. Just recently, the Dusk Hall Masterās points suddenly increased by twenty million... I canāt think of anything other than killing a level 8 demon."
The Old Witch was originally joking.
She didnāt expect it to become a prophecy.
Her aged face broke into a brilliant smile.
"Hahaha, we really guessed correctly. This child repeatedly renews our understanding of him. The Demon Fish Venerable wreaked havoc in Area 6 for over ten years and was slain today."
The Cat Witch patted her chest and said:
"Triss really understands the Dusk Hall Master. She said heād save us, and he did. No wonder she doesnāt want to return to the Witchās Family, always in the Ancient Dragon Continent."
...
Nightmare World.
Black Dragon Territory.
Inside the Wizard Tower.
Leviās form emerged.
"Madam, your friend is safe. Mission accomplished."
Triss said:
"Thank you. I owe you a favor."
Levi waved his hand and said:
"Madam, donāt be so formal. It was nothing."
Triss asked:
"Judging by your points, you must have killed the Demon Fish Venerable already..."
Levi nodded.
Triss clapped and extended her white fingers to give Levi a thumbs-up.
"Impressive, truly deserving of being my apprentice."
Levi laughed heartily.
"Iāll take my leave first."
Triss sighed in her heart.
The once-young Levi now officially surpassed her in cultivation and overwhelmed her in strength.
Sigh, and Anya, who was Leviās age back then, is still struggling at the Sixth Circle Senior level.
Is this the proverbial neighborās child?
...
God-forsaken Continent.
"This Levi, so audacious, going after a level 8 demon."
Elena pouted, watching the Demon Slaying List inside a shelter.
"He told us to be cautious and conservative, yet he goes on to hunt a level 8 demon. Even if heās strong, he shouldnāt take such risks. Just rescuing people would suffice, why engage in a life-and-death battle?"
Despite her words, Elena felt proud inside. Any woman would be proud to have such a dazzling and powerful husband.
Calculating, sheād been demon-hunting and cultivating on the God-forsaken Continent for over a few decades, yet her accumulated points are comparable to just one of Leviās demon hunts. Itās quite disheartening to think about it.
Elena shrugged it off and continued focusing on her cultivation.
...
Half a month later.
Star Sea, Nether Capital.
Levi hadnāt returned for a long time, and the city inside Witch City seemed increasingly desolate.
Due to the Endless Sea War, many nomadic wizards had fled or gone to the battlefield to hunt demons.
Recently, he received an additional ten-million-point war merit reward, likely a government reward for saving the Black Cat Battle Group.
While itās a marginal improvement for a Glorious Sun-Grade oddity, it still saved Levi a lot of time.
During the past half month, his daily divinations consistently warned of considerable danger. From the Fool Runeās hexagrams, it seemed the danger wasnāt related to demons but was connected to death, most likely still regarding Lowe.
He speculated that Lowe Wizard might be plotting against him, perhaps even now, trying to track his whereabouts, making him vigilant.
Lowe must have a considerable backing to plan Leviās demise for years. Levi canāt revel complacently in the glory of slaying a level 8 demon. Itās different now, and he canāt avoid being in the spotlight.
