499: Bait Failed

Bait Failed

Domas moved closer to the herb garden, but he didn't dare touch the spiritual plants. These spiritual plants were already of a high level and if they attacked him together, he might be in a pickle.2

The Dark Devils were stunned by the number of precious spiritual plants in this herb garden. They could barely contain their calmness at this absurd scene. 

Looking at the dumbstruck Dark Devils, Kadhar and his party were secretly snickering in their hearts. They also wondered what these guys would do after seeing the herb garden. 

"Lord Domas, if we bring these Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants back to our territory, Lord Berith would surely reward us handsomely." A Dark Devil whispered to Domas. The latter's eyes flashed for a moment upon hearing that. 

"We will talk about the spiritual plants later. Let's check this wine store first." Domas was also tempted by the idea of snatching the spiritual plants. However, he didn't want to take any action without observing the situation. 

'This place has many Protective Array Formations and now a garden filled with high-level spiritual plants. Who the hell is the owner of this place?' Domas thought to himself. He had a deep frown on his face as he scanned the area. He then moved his gaze to the Winged Devils and saw them smiling weirdly. 

'Those damn bastards must know something about this place! Dammit! I will punish them later!' 

Kadhar gulped nervously when he sensed Domas' sharp gaze. He knew that they might be fucked up this time. 'I told you guys to rest first so that I can tell you about the wine store, but you were so eager to come here.' 

Domas retracted his gaze. He then walked along the stone pathway, but then, he stopped in his tracks. 

In front of them were two individuals looking at them. It was an old man with the aura of a savage beast and a young human who was seated on a chair. 

Domas didn't discover them right away because he was too occupied by the herb garden. 

He looked at the two deeply. 

'That old savage beast is not that strong, but that young human... This is strange... Why can't I sense his cultivation?! How could this be?!' Domas felt uncertain for the first time in his life. 

Jiu Shen stood up and walked towards Domas. He had a light smile on his face as he walked with his hands behind his back. The old man, Atlas, followed behind him like a loyal servant. 

One Dark Devil stepped forward and blocked Jiu Shen's path as he shouted in anger. "Stop right there!" 

However, Jiu Shen merely side-stepped and ignored him as he continued walking toward Domas. 

The Dark Devil was infuriated after being ignored. He turned around and tried to grab Jiu Shen, but a cane prevented his hand from grabbing Jiu Shen. He then heard a calm and aged voice speaking behind him. "I won't allow you to harm the master in my presence." 

The Dark Devil was furious at the old man's interference. He released his aura and was about to attack the old man...

"Stop!" 

The Dark Devil immediately recalled his aura when he heard Domas' command. "You're lucky, old bastard." He whispered through gritted teeth.

Atlas remained silent and acted as if he didn't hear anything. 

Meanwhile, Domas scanned Jiu Shen from head to foot. He heard the old savage beast call this young human his master. To have a Heavenly God Realm expert as a servant, this guy wasn't simple! 

'I can't sense any true essence or anma from his body, his spiritual power is also non-existent. It feels like I'm looking at an ordinary human. However, the mysterious aura he has can't be concealed. Who is this guy?' Domas tried to recall all the notable experts he had met in his life, but there wasn't anyone that matched this human's appearance. 

"What do you think about my garden? It's beautiful, isn't it?" Jiu Shen smiled as he looked at Domas. 

'His garden? Is this the owner of the wine store?' Domas was a bit surprised, but he still managed to put on a smile as he answered. 

"Oh, so you must be the owner of this place! Your garden is indeed beautiful." 

"Is that so? You can take a few spiritual plants with you if you want." Jiu Shen's smile widened. His gaze turned increasingly mysterious as he stared at the demon in front of him. 

Domas furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. 'Is this guy testing me?' 

"Haha! I wouldn't dare covet someone else's treasure. I apologize, but I must decline your offer." The Dark Devils and Winged Devils were surprised by Domas' answer. The Dark Devil famed for his cruelty and ferocity has actually declined a free meal? At this moment, they suddenly realized that the young human in front of them was no ordinary person! 

Kadhar frowned when he saw this scene. He thought that with Domas leading them, nothing would go wrong. Who would have thought that the owner of the wine store could make this ferocious demon act reservedly? 

"Oh? So you guys must have come here for my wines. You can order them inside the dragon building." Jiu Shen said as he pointed at the dragon building. 

Domas glanced deeply at Jiu Shen and nodded his head. He then walked towards the dragon building. 

When the demons have gone inside the building, Jiu Shen sighed in disappointment. "Too bad he didn't take the bait. We would have watched a nice show if that happened." 

Hearing this, Atlas could only chuckle as a response. 

With a dispirited look on his face, Jiu Shen sat on his chair and continued bathing in the sun. "Atlas, let's enjoy the warm sun for a little longer. It might be long before we could do this again once we start cultivating." He muttered as he slowly rested his eyes. 

The old man nodded his head lightly and responded. "Yes, master..."
