Chapter 2088: Romero Tribe!
Chapter 2088: Romero Tribe!
"The House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion was killed in a single encounter?"
Upon hearing Ebba King’s words, both Christina Lee and Jovie Lee were shocked.
Especially Christina Lee.
As the wife of ’Lanni Barnes,’ the House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, she often spent time with Lanni and naturally learned about many matters concerning the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land from him.
This included a deep understanding of various major forces in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land.
To her knowledge:
The strength of the House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion, though not as strong as her husband, could not be killed by her husband in a single encounter before breaking through to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’!
And now, Ebba King said:
A monster had killed the House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion in just a single encounter!
If this is true.
How great must the monster’s strength be?
As for the other two, Kalel was too young to understand what Ebba King was saying.
As for Lanni Barnes, he was not surprised by Ebba King’s words, but his face clouded over and he muttered in a low voice, "It seems that more than one ’Cow Demon’ has arrived in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land..."
What Lanni Barnes was worried about had finally happened.
Back then, when that Cow Demon invaded Mansion of Azure Clouds, although he killed it, his mood was not lightened but rather quite heavy.
After all, the appearance of Cow Demons in Martial Dao Sacred Land was a very bad ’signal’.
One must know, Cow Demons only exist in the Exile realm.
Yet now they appeared in Martial Dao Sacred Land, which undeniably indicated a problem with the ’space barrier’ between Martial Dao Sacred Land and the Exile realm.
The problem with the space barrier may have been discovered by one Cow Demon, thus it came to Martial Dao Sacred Land; it may have been discovered by many Cow Demons, thus many came; it may have been discovered by various Demon Race members from the Exile realm, with the Cow Demons of the Demon Race acting as the vanguard in coming to Martial Dao Sacred Land.
If it’s the latter.
Martial Dao Sacred Land will undoubtedly fall back into ’Era of Human Demons,’ resulting in widespread chaos and destruction!
"Cow Demon?"
Although Lanni Barnes spoke softly, Christina Lee and the others heard him, and they all turned to look at Lanni.
It was the first time they’d ever heard the term ’Cow Demon’ in their lives.
"Grandfather, what is a ’Cow Demon’?"
Kalel heard Lanni Barnes’s soliloquy and blinked his innocent eyes, asking curiously.
"Jovie, take Kalel away first... There are some things I should let you know. But I will tell them to Natalie first, then let her tell you later."
At this moment, Lanni Barnes transmitted to Jovie Lee, instructing her to take Kalel away.
In doing so, he conveyed unspoken information:
The matter he was about to discuss was not suitable for Kalel’s ears!
Though she did not understand the reason, Jovie Lee, perceiving the heaviness in Lanni’s tone, curiously refrained from inquiring further. After some coaxing, she managed to take Kalel away.
For a time, the grand hall was left with only Lanni Barnes, Christina Lee, and Ebba King.
"Brother Lanni, did you have Jovie take Kalel away?"
Christina Lee asked.
As Lanni Barnes’s wife, combined with Jovie Lee’s unusual actions, she easily guessed as much.
It seemed her husband intended to discuss matters not meant for their grandson.
"Yes."
Lanni Barnes nodded, his face serious as he said, "Kalel is still young. Some things I don’t want him to know so prematurely; I don’t want him to live a life of fear from now on..."
The Cow Demons involve the Demon Race from the Exile realm and relate back to the dark history of the ’Era of Human Demons’.
Just imagine.
If his grandson learned about such a dark period of human history, his mind would surely be shadowed, detrimental to his growth, harboring countless harms and no benefits!
On hearing Lanni’s words, Christina Lee realized she was right and couldn’t help but gasp, then nervously asked, "Brother Lanni, don’t scare me... What exactly is it?"
Christina Lee understood her husband well, knowing he was cautious and wouldn’t speak aimlessly.
As a result, upon hearing his words, she couldn’t help but feel chills rise from within.
"The ’Cow Demons’ I mentioned just now come from the Exile realm..."
Responding to Christina Lee’s inquiry and facing Ebba King’s curious gaze, Lanni Barnes explained the origin of the ’Cow Demons’ to them both, also mentioning the ’Era of Human Demons’ from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Instantly, both Christina Lee and Ebba King turned ashen with fright.
Era of Human Demons, the conflict between humans and demons.
Countless humans were killed and swallowed dry.
Surviving humans mostly barely clung to life, except for the strong ones; many even underwent Devil Transformation, becoming ’Demon Cultivators’.
In short, that era was filled with turmoil, and no one, not even those on the mortal continent, could lead stable lives.
"Demon... Demon Race?"
"Exiled Land?"
After learning about the existence of the ’Exiled Land’ and the power of the ’Demon Race’ within it, Christina Lee and Ebba King were both quite frightened.
"Miss Ebba, the Cow Demon that intruded into the ’Mysterious Void Mansion’ that day... how tall was it approximately?"
Suddenly, Lanni Barnes looked at Ebba King and asked.
Hearing this, Ebba King snapped back to reality, gathered a bit of courage, and her previously pale face regained some color.
Then, she pondered for a moment, thinking deeply.
"It seemed to be over four meters tall... probably not five meters, but definitely more than four meters!"
After thinking for a while and recalling clearly, Ebba King promptly responded to Lanni Barnes.
"In that case, the strength of the Cow Demon that intruded into the Mysterious Void Mansion is similar to the one that intruded into our Mansion of Azure Clouds..."
Lanni Barnes nodded. Although he spoke lightly, his expression became tense, showing no signs of relaxation.
"Intruded into the Mansion of Azure Clouds?"
Upon hearing Lanni’s words, Christina Lee’s face changed dramatically and she asked anxiously, "When did this happen? Brother Lanni, why didn’t you mention it to me before?"
Obviously, Christina Lee was unaware of the Cow Demon intruding into the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
"I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry."
Lanni Barnes sighed and then said, "Besides, I’ve already killed it."
"Killed it?"
Upon hearing Lanni Barnes’ words, both Christina Lee and Ebba King couldn’t help but be stunned again.
That was a powerful Demon Race being, capable of killing the House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion in an instant!
But when it came to the Mansion of Azure Clouds, it was killed by Lanni Barnes?
"In the Cow Demon Clan, strength is measured by height... In the Cow Demon Clan, there are many who are stronger than the ones who intruded into the Mysterious Void Mansion and our Mansion of Azure Clouds!"
Lanni Barnes continued, his tone growing more serious.
"I originally thought it was just one Cow Demon that crossed the space barrier and arrived in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, coincidentally coming to our Mansion of Azure Clouds... But now it seems, there was more than one Cow Demon!"
Lanni Barnes said with apprehension, "I killed one, and another appeared in the Mysterious Void Mansion... Other places probably have them too."
As he spoke, a deep sense of dread appeared on Lanni Barnes’ face.
While Lanni Barnes was discussing the ’Era of Human Demons’, the ’Exiled Land’, the ’Demon Race’, the ’Cow Demon Clan’, and all his speculations with Christina Lee and Ebba King...
In the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, West Region.
Few people know that in the West Region, apart from the top power of the Upper Domain, the ’Fire Worship Sect’, there exists another powerful force that even the Fire Worship Sect fears.
This force is the ’Romero Tribe’!
The Romero Tribe is an extremely mysterious race, even more so than the Dragonsmith Clan.
The reason the Romero Tribe is mysterious is because of a clan rule established by the ancestors of the Romero Tribe many years ago:
Members of the Romero Tribe are not allowed to leave the tribe. If anyone leaves without permission, they will not only be expelled from the tribe but also hunted by the tribe!
Because of this, even though members of the Romero Tribe yearn to see the vibrant world outside, they cannot.
As the saying goes:
The phoenix does not land where there is no treasure!
The Romero Tribe’s dwelling is in the northern part of the West Region, a place like a paradisiacal world, completely isolated from the outside.
The reason the Romero Tribe chose this location is because beneath it, just like beneath the Fire Worship Sect’s location, there is also a ’quasi-immortal grade Holy Stone Reserve’.
Of course, it’s much smaller than the ’quasi-immortal grade Holy Stone Reserve’ at the Fire Worship Sect’s location.
In the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, it is widely believed that there are only three ’quasi-immortal grade Holy Stone Reserves’, occupied by three major sects... In fact, this rumor was spread intentionally by the three major sects to highlight their uniqueness!
The isolation of the Romero Tribe’s dwelling is achieved through a formation.
This formation is a gigantic hybrid formation, combining various ’attack formations’ and ’illusion formations’.
Without cultivation above the ’Saint Immortal Realm’, one cannot see through the ’illusion formation’ within this formation!
Without cultivation above the ’Fourth Transformation of the Saint Immortal’, one cannot withstand the ’attack formation’ within this formation!
Today, an unexpected guest arrived outside the Romero Tribe.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, as if a gust of wind blew through.
The next moment, outside the gigantic formation enveloping the Romero Tribe, an elderly figure appeared out of thin air.
This was an elderly man with an immortal aura, standing in mid-air, resembling an ’old immortal’ from afar.
If Karina Hanson were here, she would undoubtedly recognize at a glance:
This old man was her ’Uncle Master Destiny’, the previous generation of the ’Destiny Lineage’ of the Seven Terminating Sect:
The Heavenly Elder!
