Chapter 571: The Thing in the Canyon’s Core
Aldrian was brought along at such high speed that he couldn’t really see the details below him, but he could still sense many presences in the grand canyon. It seemed that none of them reacted once they sensed Dureus’s presence, which was understandable. Even so, he could still sense a few that appeared to be following Dureus—perhaps curious about him.
Aldrian didn’t mind them, especially since Dureus also didn’t seem to care and simply continued flying at high speed.
After a few moments of silence, Aldrian finally opened his lips.
"Do you know about the war that’s happening now?" he asked.
"Of course I know. There’s no way something that big could slip past my attention. In fact, all beings inside this region already know about it," Dureus answered.
"Then did the Devil Lord not disturb you or the beings in this region because of the war? To be honest, all this time I thought everyone with devil energy was under the Devil Lord and worshipped the Devil God, but—" Aldrian looked below.
"I can sense many powerful beings down there who don’t seem to care or participate in the war. With this kind of strength, I think even the alliance forces would face difficulties and be slowed down."
Truthfully, he was shocked by what he could sense from the land below. What he had sensed all this time were beings at least at the Grand Duke level at their weakest, and in truth, the region was more dominated by King-stage beings. The number of Emperor-stage beings was also quite high, which made him wonder how such a place could exist within devil territory.
With beings like these, if the Devil Lord brought them under his command, he would have a massive army of high-cultivation beasts.
Hearing Aldrian’s question, Dureus let out a faint snort before opening his lips.
"Well, let’s just say that the beings of this canyon are special. We don’t really consider the Devil Lord our leader, nor do we see the Devil God as our god," he said.
