One month later, in the Ink Wolf Region,
Between the tall trees, four silhouettes were moving in the middle of the night like phantoms, and their movements were completely soundless despite their swift movements.
Furthermore, the trees here were somewhat black and were enshrouded in a corroding aura. It was because this was the core region of the Ink Wolf Region!
Those four silhouettes came to an abrupt halt when an area filled with dark mist appeared.
"This should be those dogs' den." Leona's faint, ecstatic voice sounded.
"Heh, those guys have been avoiding us for over a week after we took care of that massive ink wolf. Let's see where they would hide now." Rita coldly sneered.
Those four were naturally Rita, Hilda, Leo, and Leona, who has been in the Ink Wolf Region for over five weeks now.
After going through multiple battles, they were finally able to reach this place which was their main target. Furthermore, their auras were vastly different from when they started this expedition.
Especially, Hilda and Rita, these two have made massive progress in both cultivations and their overall skills. But Hilda was still ahead of Rita because of her superior talent.
"Sigh, let's just take them down and go back. I missed him!" Leona stated with a tingle of longing.
Not only just her but the other women, especially those who had cultivated the Devil's Spouse Technique, were dying to return.
Hilda was different from them, but she missed Cyrus just as much as they did and was looking forward to telling him about their adventure.
She said solemnly, "Don't let your guard down. Just because we are winning, it doesn't mean we can be arrogant. Never forget it is their home, and we are invaders. We don't have his knowledge or prowess. This place is the enemy's home ground, so they will naturally have an advantage and might have been preparing for all this time.
"We haven't encountered an ink wolf for over a week now, which means they are clearly preparing for our arrival. So, we should remain careful until we take down every last one of them."
Rita nodded in affirmative and added, "She is right. That mist gives off the same aura as an ink wolf's Qi. The moment we enter it, they will have a massive advantage over us. What we need to do, is to stick together and move forward until we capture their leader. Only then can we call ourselves victorious!"
"Hmph, let's just get it over with!" Leona annoyingly stated as planning wasn't her strong forte.
Hilda suddenly raised her hand, indicating everyone to stop, and she coldly uttered while looking in a certain direction of the inky mist, "Have you seen enough?"
The other three became instantly alert since they clearly didn't sense anything, but Hilda was strongest among them as she had already awakened her soul sense, and she was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm while Rita had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
They knew just how meticulous the Soul Sense ability was, as nothing could hide or sneak up on Hilda within 250 meters of her soul sense range.
"As expected of the four calamities' leader." A hoarse voice rang from the dark mist before a 3-meter-tall pitch-black wolf materialized from the dark mist like a ghost.
"Four Calamities?"
"Leader? She's not our leader!"
Leona and Leo retorted since they would never admit Hilda was their leader; furthermore, the way the Ink Wolf called them was quite peculiar.
However, Rita didn't retort nor admit it and questioned coldly, "Since you dare to appear before us, are you here to surrender?"
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm She could feel this Ink Wolf was as strong as Hilda, if not stronger, and he might be the leader of those Ink Wolves. Furthermore, these guys never bothered to communicate with them before, no matter how much they killed them. So, it was quite strange.
Nevertheless, they didn't dare to let their guard down since these Ink Wolves were quite ruthless assassins, and their attacks were always decisive, and they always went for the kill.
The Ink Wolf looked deeply at the alert girls with its abysmal eyes and said, "First, tell me, do you belong to the Lust Sword Region ruled by the Lust Emperor?"
The girls were astounded when they heard about Cyrus, and they suddenly had a very strange feeling.
"We are his women!" Leona instantly replied, holding her large perky chest high with pride. The other agreed in silence.
"Since you know our background. You should also know why we are here." Hilda impassively probed. She wasn't sure just how much this ink wolf knew.
But since he knew about Cyrus, he should also know just how powerful he was, and Cyrus might've already conquered the Fire Leopard Region. Only this way, the Ink Wolves would've been wary of them.
The Ink Wolf thought for a moment before he nodded, "I've indeed heard of His Majesty, Lust Emperor's godly strength. I also know you guys should be here to conquer the Ink Wolf Region upon his majesty's command."
Thereby, something astonishing happened, the ink wolf kneeled in front of the four baffled girls and respectfully stated, "That's why, on behalf of my pack, I, the Ink Wolf King, will submit to His Majesty's rule and declare the Ink Wolf Region a part of the Lust Sword Region. I want to pay my homage to his majesty; can your Excellencies arrange that?"
"Wait, why? I mean, why are you submitting so easily? Did the Lust Emperor personally pay you a visit?" Leo asked with a doubtful look in her eyes as she could tell this was really being respectful.
However, Cyrus clearly told them he wouldn't interfere, which made the Ink Wolf King's submission even more startling. Now they all wondered what Cyrus had done in these past five weeks.
The Ink Wolf King replied, "We are not worthy of his majesty's attention. But the emissary of the Ice Lion Region had approached us on His Majesty's behalf and told us that all the region except mine had already submitted under his majesty's reign.
"We were left for last because of your four Excellencies' presence. I was ordered not to tell you this, but I don't want more bloodshed for my pack, and there is no point in fighting back.
"So please, accept our submission and let us be part of the Lust Sword Region. We will be forever loyal to Lust Emperor!"
But contrary to the cunning Ink Wolf King's expectation, the four girls seemed in utter disbelief as if they had no idea something like that even had transpired!
