Chapter 266
The Deep Realm was always filled with gossip, but lately, the hottest topic was none other than the death of Agares.
As the official second-ranked demon of the Deep Realm was erased from the ranking board, the residents couldn’t stop talking about it. There were other noteworthy events, like the long battle between the Eastern Savage King and Ashtaros of the Scorching Flames finally reaching a conclusion, or the discovery of a new trial in the “Canyon Ruled by Shadows.” However, none of these could compare to the shock of Agares’ death, and so his name remained the talk of the town.
A lively conversation was taking place in the front yard of Wei Zhongqi’s house. The demons were sitting on wooden benches under a pavilion, indulging in delicious food as they spun their tales and spread their gossip.
“I heard the Demon Sword ended up in Illeina’s hands.”
“No way... Are you saying she killed the very king she served just to claim the sword?”
“That’s the most plausible theory. Not to mention, she probably absorbed his entire demon army as well.”
“But can just anyone wield that sword?”
“Man, you really don’t know anything. If she couldn’t handle it, do you think Illeina would have dared to kill Agares? Of course, anyone can wield that sword!”
Rain poured from the sky as if a hole had been punched through the clouds. Watching the northern region with his arms crossed, Wei Zhongqi let out a small click of his tongue before turning toward the kitchen.

The rain drizzled steadily.
A pair of demon horns protruded from a head of short, slightly wavy hair. Beneath them, Illeina’s crimson eyes burned with fury.
