Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 1493

Ten days later, a small town of more than ten miles in size was built in the area adjacent to the Central Region and the Savage Mountains.

There is no wall around the town, only rows of yellow wooden fences that are somewhat symbolic.

Above the town, colorful lights kept flying back and forth, either soaring into the sky or slowly landing on a small square in the center of the town.

However, in the corners around the town, there are several platforms more than ten feet high, each with a huge shiny black flag on it, emitting a faint black gas that covers the entire sky above the platform.

On these platforms, there were about four or five demon guards, standing there with expressionless faces.

With the square as the center, the whole town has several crooked streets, with some shops and restaurants opened by demons on both sides. Tens of thousands of demons are coming in and out of these buildings, and it looks quite prosperous.

In an inconspicuous restaurant at the edge of the town square, two demons were sitting at a table near the window, resting with their eyes closed.

There was only an unusually emerald green wine jug and two wine glasses on the table.

The rich aroma of wine wafted from the glass. The wine inside was a deep amber red, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a rare, top-grade wine.

Apart from these two people, there was no one else on the entire floor of the restaurant, as if the two demons had booked it all.

"They should be here soon." One of them, a big man with thick eyebrows, several thin braids and two thick gold rings in his ears, looked up at the square for a few times and suddenly asked his companions with a hint of impatience.

"According to intelligence, a group of people who are suspected to be the target just walked out of the Blood Wolf Mountains ten days ago. Calculating the distance, they should have arrived here in the next two days. This Tulong Town is the only place nearby where people can stay. As long as they come from this direction, they will definitely stop in the town." The demon on the opposite side was a middle-aged Taoist priest with an elegant face and a Taoist robe. He replied with his eyes wide open.

"Humph, that's hard to say. What if the target doesn't need any supplies and just flies past nearby? Then you and I would have worked in vain." The burly man with thick eyebrows snorted coldly.

"Haha, don't worry, Brother Zhen. Even if they don't need supplies, they still need to know about some recent events. They will definitely come to this town." The middle-aged Confucian scholar shook his head and replied.

"Everything Brother Leng said makes sense, but I don't quite believe it." The big man rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

"Oh, then Brother Zhen, do you want to make a bet with me?" The middle-aged Taoist asked back with a smile.

"What do you want to bet on, kid?" The big man raised his thick eyebrows and asked with a bit of vigilance.

"Let's make a bet this time. How much will the reward be for our efforts? This time, the reward for this business is quite generous, otherwise we would not be here." The Taoist said with a chuckle.

"Brother Leng has a good plan. I won't make this bet with you. If you change the way of betting, Zhen would be interested." The big man with thick eyebrows shook his head like a drum and said with his eyes wide open.

"Then what do you want to bet on, Brother Zhen?" The middle-aged Taoist asked with a smile, his lips slightly raised.

"If you want to bet, how about we bet on who will defeat the target first?" The big man said with a turn of his eyes.

"Haha, I, Leng, admit that my magical powers are far inferior to those of my Taoist friends, so it's better not to make this bet." The Taoist said with a laugh.

"Brother Leng, why do you refuse so early? Maybe my opponent is much stronger than the one you want to deal with!" The big man said with a grin.

"When it comes to doing things, Leng always trusts himself and never trusts luck!" the Taoist replied lightly.

"I've been practicing with you in the temple for so many years, but you're still so boring. You only do things that are sure to win, and are not willing to take any risks at all." The big man shook his head again, looking very bored.

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled slightly after hearing this. When he was about to say something else, his eyes suddenly lit up and his gaze quickly looked towards a black flying boat that was slowly descending on the square.

"Yes, it's this flying magic weapon, and it's exactly the same as the image sent over!" The big man sitting opposite also stood up excitedly, clenched his fists, and a series of popping sounds were heard.

"Brother Zhen, don't be anxious. Now that we have found the target, we must complete the mission. But it is inconvenient to take action in the town. There is no rush to take action after they leave. In the meantime, just let the shadow-chasing bugs keep an eye on them." The middle-aged Taoist priest tried to dissuade him, and then flicked his finger slightly.

A "whoosh" sound!
A green light shot out from the fingertips, and after a shake, it disappeared into the air nearby.

"Okay, I'll listen to what Brother Leng says. I wonder if our target this time really has the strength to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm. If so, it's a good opportunity for me to try out a new magical power that I have recently comprehended." The big man let out a strange laugh and sat back in his seat as he was told.

"Don't underestimate the goal this time. Since someone is willing to offer such a high reward and ask our Demon Lord Palace elders to take action, it shows that the goal this time is not simple. Don't let carelessness bring you trouble, that would be embarrassing." The middle-aged Taoist said with a chuckle.

After hearing this, the big man chuckled, with an indifferent expression on his face, and it was obvious that he did not listen to his companion's words.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Taoist priest could only smile bitterly and shook his head, then looked again at the black flying boat that was parked steadily in the square.

Suddenly, a blinding black light burst out from the flying boat, and after a blur, it disappeared without a trace.

Two men and two women suddenly appeared in the low-lying area, all of them looked very young.

The middle-aged Taoist's eyes flashed with a faint purple light. He looked at the four people carefully, frowned slightly, and showed a hint of doubt.

"It's quite interesting. One of these four people deliberately concealed his cultivation level, while the other one is so high that we can't tell whether his cultivation level is really worth the trip we make in person!" After seeing the four people getting off the flying boat clearly, the big man muttered a few words in surprise, and the relaxed look on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Those two women are fine, but those two men are not simple. It seems that we can only use the second plan."

The middle-aged Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, the two women are okay, they just have some talents. But the two men are a bit weird. The handsome man among them gives people a feeling of being unfathomable. Let me try his true strength first!" The big man with thick eyebrows turned his eyes slightly, still looking eager to try.

"Well, that's good. Let me take care of the other three first." The middle-aged Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and did not object.

The big man nodded, a hint of ferocity flashing across his face.
