Chapter 857: A Gathering of Evils
The Magic Cult’s Headquarters had been recruiting relentlessly over this short period, drawing in many from the pseudo region, resulting in an endless stream of newcomers each day.
Today brought seven fierce and vicious figures, all carrying themselves as though they considered no one worthy of their attention. On arrival, they bellowed, "Let the Devil Incarnate come out to welcome us, the Jianghai Seven Ghosts."
Upon hearing these words, Mo Yun came forth. With a glance and a furrowed brow, as if disgusted by the sight of these men, she still managed to politely say, "So it’s you, the nefarious Jianghai Seven Ghosts. I’ve heard of your deeds of raiding and plundering across the world, which have incited widespread fury, and you’ve been hunted down by many orthodoxy sects of Martial Arts. Faced with no escape, you choose to seek refuge within our Devil Cult?"
The Jianghai Seven Ghosts bristled at this remark, "What are you talking about? It was your Devil Cult who spread the word to recruit the villains of the world, which is why we came."
"Right, right, right, we did extend our invitation to you, and your presence surely brings honor to us," Mo Yun said politely, but her underlying reluctance was palpable. Although they were all from the pseudo region, there were tiers among them, and to Mo Yun, the Jianghai Seven Ghosts represented the most despicable tier, guilty not only of raiding and plundering but also of bullying the weak and vulnerable. She thought what kind of men were they?
"The Devil Cult sincerely invites us, and we, the Jianghai Seven Ghosts, have come with genuine intent. The Devil Incarnate should personally receive us," the Jianghai Seven Ghosts demanded, their stance arrogant, clearly acting as though they owned the place, which was unpleasant to witness.
Mo Yun knew that the Jianghai Seven Ghosts were quite capable, otherwise, despite many years, the orthodoxy of Martial Arts would not have been unable to deal with them.
Just then, a voice echoed from the grand hall, "Mo Yun, lead them in. We are in need of manpower right now, and their joining would benefit us greatly."
"Very well, I shall follow your orders," she said. Then Mo Yun gestured invitingly, "Please follow me. The Devil Incarnate awaits you in the grand hall."
