Chapter 452: Angry Old Demon
Despite her confusion, the Demon Empress smiled at Hestia. "Thank you for your help earlier, Elder Hestia. I would have been in trouble if you didn't speak up."
Hestia shook her head and replied. "It's nothing."
The Demon Empress let out a stiff smile when she heard the reply. She couldn't help but ask. "I'm sorry, but did we do anything that displeased you, Elder Hestia?"
Hestia furrowed her eyebrows. She felt slightly guilty for being so unfriendly with the Demon Empress when she didn't even do anything untoward to her. "No. If there's nothing else, then please excuse me." She muttered and left the room, leaving behind the perplexed Demon Empress.
"Weird..." Demon Empress Ganda whispered to herself.
Lou Baiqing was quite surprised to see Hestia going out of the room. She just entered for more than a minute, so why was she leaving so soon?
Lou Baiqing went inside the room and stared at the Demon Empress in puzzlement. "What happened?"
The Demon Empress shrugged and shook her head. "I don't know. Go and bring a few of our top experts with you. I don't believe that old man wouldn't make a move. He might do something to Elder Hestia's group, so follow them in secret and report back to me if something happens."
Lou Baiqing nodded his head solemnly. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Can Ye and Lu Sulan were baffled. They thought that Hestia would discuss something with the Demon Empress for a long time, but she was already back after a little more than a minute.
"Let's go back. The master wants us to build a second sword tower, so we should begin discussing it with the other Division Heads." Hestia said while smiling at the two.
"Is there-" Lu Sulan tugged Can Ye's sleeve before he could finish speaking and she said.
"Yes, of course! Alright. Let's leave."
Can Ye scratched the back of his head and followed the two women. They went out of Hegante City right away, but when they left the protected zone of Narda Principality, a figure blocked their path.
It was an old demon dressed like a poor beggar.
"You must be the Necromancer Emperor. Is there anything we can do for you?" Lu Sulan frowned as she looked towards the old demon. She couldn't sense this guy's cultivation level!
"Hahaha! At first, I don't want to cause trouble, but you young ones didn't even give face to this old one. However, I'm a benevolent demon, so I'll give you one more chance. Give that land deed to me and I will let this matter go." The Necromancer Emperor said with a contemptuous smile hanging on his aged face.
Lu Sulan and Can Ye revealed furious faces when they heard the old demon's words. This guy was indeed eyeing the land deed!
"I'm sorry, but we can't give it to you." Can Ye stepped forward as he stared coldly at the Necromancer Emperor.
"Hahaha! You're quite brave for a human, but are you sure about this?" The old demon grinned wickedly and slowly released his aura to suppress Can Ye. However, a figure appeared before Can Ye and blocked the old demon's aura.
"No one can hurt the master's disciples with me here!" Hestia uttered in a cold voice.
Necromancer Emperor Skull frowned while looking at Hestia. This was the woman who went against him during the auction! "So it's you. I thought you were some kind of top expert, but you are just a mere early stage Void God Realm trash! Do you really think I'm afraid of offending your Heavenly Sword Tower?"
"You wouldn't have talked so much to us if you're really not afraid." Hestia chuckled mockingly.
"You!" The Necromancer Emperor nearly lost control of his emotions when he heard those words.
"If you're so afraid to attack us, then scram out of my sight!" Hestia shouted furiously.
The Necromancer Emperor's body shook with fury. He never experienced this kind of blatant mockery, especially coming from a human!
The old demon cackled malevolently.
He then released his aura in full display!
Peak stage Void God Realm!
"You asked for this! Die!" The old necromancer summoned a huge demonic hand that emitted a dark and gloomy energy. This huge demonic hand then extended towards Hestia in a swift motion, followed by a thick scent of death in its wake!
Can Ye and Lu Sulan were both suppressed. Even if they joined hands to block this demonic hand, they would still end up dead, so they could only pin their hopes on Hestia.
Hestia remained calm as she looked at the dark and hideous hand that was clawing towards her. She then summoned a sword and struck it towards the huge hand!
Bang!
The Necromancer Emperor laughed in disdain. He spent ten percent of his true essence for that attack and he was confident that it could kill even a mid stage Void God Realm, so Hestia who was only at the early stage of the Void God Realm would definitely die!
However, the old demon's laughter soon stopped.
He discovered that Hestia was still in perfect condition! "How is this possible?! That attack should have killed you!"
Hestia's sword was now burning fiercely with golden flames. She flicked her sword and pointed it towards the old demon and muttered. "Too weak!"
"Insolent bastard!!" The necromancer angrily howled before casting a high-level dark magic.
The sky darkened as hundreds of thousands of flying creatures soon blotted the sky!
"Kill them!!" The old demon pointed at Hestia's group with a malicious look.
***
"Your Majesty, bad news! That old bastard attacked them!" Lou Baiqing said as soon as he stepped inside Demon Empress Ganda's room.
"What?!" The Demon Empress pushed him lightly and darted out of Hegante City in a flash.
When she stepped out of her territory, she noticed a strong suppressive power ahead of her. When she looked closely, she saw that the sky was soon filled with strange-looking flying creatures!
"Is he insane?! Dammit!"
