Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 995: Chapter 564: Endless Blood Disaster_2 Chapter 995: Chapter 564: Endless Blood Disaster_2 On this side, Logan had an unobstructed journey all the way to the City Lord’s presence.

“Logan, you’ve arrived. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been these days? Eh, there are fluctuations in your spiritual power—what’s happened? Have you advanced…”

Before he could finish speaking, Logan interrupted him.

Logan bowed to him but had no intention of engaging in other idle talk.

“City Lord, I have something very important to report to you. The place is crowded, may we step aside to speak.”

The City Lord, who rarely saw such a solemn expression on Logan’s face, naturally agreed without a second word.

“Alright, come with me.”

They went to another room, which could be considered a secret chamber.

“Tell me, I rarely see you so anxious. What has happened?”

Logan told the City Lord all about the Demon Race’s plan.

“The Demon Race plans to feint to the east but attack the west, targeting the ordinary human cities…”

The more the City Lord listened, the graver his expression became, and it turned exceedingly grim.

He slammed his hand on the table forcefully.

“What? Humph! Those damned demons, I never expected them to come up with such a despicable and shameless plan. Logan, we owe you big time for this warning, or we would have definitely faced devastating losses!”

The City Lord had no doubt about Logan’s words; instead, it caused him to worry even more.

“Rest assured, I’ll send a message to the Great Sects and the Imperial City right now, so they can prepare and make ready for war against the Demon Race.”

Since he was now aware of the Demon Race’s intentions, the City Lord naturally wouldn’t just sit idly by.

Moreover, it was a plan involving the entire Demon Race, which was also very difficult for them—should the entire Demon Race mobilize, it would be a great calamity for the human race.

Just the City Lord and his subordinates alone wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Only by rallying the strength of everyone could they stand a fighting chance.

He acted immediately and sent the message down, putting everyone on a war footing.

Seeing this, Logan also let out a slight sigh of relief.

At least by sending a message to everyone, they wouldn’t be unprepared.

Better than being caught completely off guard and having to prepare at the last minute.

In the end, he had a lot to thank Lexi Carr for. But since Lexi was from the Demon Race, it wasn’t safe to bring her along just yet, so he gave her an elixir that could change her appearance. It could help her continue to blend in with the Demon Race.

Perhaps she could even send messages back for him, which would kill two birds with one stone.

Seeing the City Lord lost in his myriad thoughts, Logan concluded that the remaining matters should be left to him.

Logan quickly bowed.

“City Lord, I shall not disturb you further and will take my leave now.”

“Mhm, go ahead. Logan, normally, for telling me such significant news, I should reward you handsomely. But the situation isn’t the same now. Please forgive me for this oversight. Once the issue with the Demon Race is resolved, I will definitely prepare a grand feast for you.”

Logan simply chuckled in response, seemingly not too concerned about it.

“As long as everyone can unite and jointly confront the Demon Race, preventing those vile demons from gaining any advantage, I will already be more than satisfied. As for any other rewards, I did not even expect them. You are being too courteous, City Lord.”

After making these humble remarks, he didn’t stay long and quickly departed.

The City Lord watched his retreating figure, filled with myriad thoughts.

“Sigh, such a good person, yet he insists on being a Loose Cultivator and refuses to serve under me. Otherwise, my power might have gone up a notch.”

But then, on second thought, considering how quickly Logan’s strength was increasing,
it’s likely he will surpass me soon.

If I really kept him under my command, would I, the City Lord, still be honored, or would it be Logan?

Thinking this, the City Lord couldn’t help shivering and abandoned the original thought.

If that’s the case, it’s better to let it be. Maintaining the status quo is pretty good.

At that time, Logan, unaware of the City Lord’s strange musings, had already returned to his own residence.

This place was specially prepared for him by the City Lord as a gesture of his regard.

These past days had been spent on the move or in confrontation with the Demon Race, not to mention a great battle had taken place earlier, leaving Logan feeling mentally and physically drained.

Now, reclining in his chair, he felt so relaxed he didn’t want to get up again.

“Little Flower, Little White, this is the true life of an Immortal we ought to live. What on earth were we living before this? Finally, we can get some proper rest. I hope the City Lord makes good his defenses.”

Not just him, even Little Flower and Little White breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before the servants had a chance to rest for long, they were awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Little White couldn’t help but complain.

“How annoying, who on earth is pounding on the door outside? I had just fallen asleep, and hadn’t rested for long, before being suddenly woken up.”

They had only just begun to alleviate the fatigue that enveloped them and wanted to soothe themselves properly.

But unexpectedly, someone chose this inopportune time to knock on the door.

Logan’s face also darkened a bit, as he shared the same thought as his two spirit pets.

He had just lain down, and it hadn’t been long since he closed his eyes, who could it be?

Such a lack of consideration.

Despite such thoughts maligning the visitor in his mind, he still went to open the door.

“Who is it?”

After opening the door, he was met with a beautiful and familiar face.

Logan raised an eyebrow, his gaze flickering.

“It’s you, Snow Wood, Miss Wood, why have you come to visit me again?”

He had never imagined it would be her again, his expression conveying some helplessness.

Noticing his expression, Snow Wood couldn’t help but pout, a hint of dissatisfaction showing.

“What, you seem somewhat unhappy that this lady has come to find you?”

So many men wished for her to seek them out voluntarily, but Snow Wood had always been indifferent to them, setting her heart only on Logan.

Yet, to her surprise, this lad Logan didn’t appreciate it in the slightest.

He never showed a good face whenever he saw her.

This caused Snow Wood, who was accustomed to being the center of attention, some discontent.

At the same time, a desire to conquer arose within her, determined to make him bend the knee to her.

Seeing this, Logan appeared somewhat helpless and promptly changed his expression.

“The lady misunderstands, I didn’t mean that, I just didn’t expect that the lady would come looking for me again. Miss Wood, hasn’t our confrontation already ended? Why would you come to find me again?”

Snow Wood was at a loss for words.

Honestly, even she didn’t know why, but as soon as she heard this man had returned, she acted faster than her brain could process and immediately rushed over.

Face flushed with a quiet blush, she faced the question posed by the man before her.

“I, anyway, I’ve come to challenge you again. After the recent period of training, I have become much more formidable than before. Let’s have another contest, I assure you, this time I definitely won’t lose to you!”

As she spoke, she sized up Logan and suddenly realized something was amiss.

“Wait, what’s going on? The fluctuation of spiritual energy in you… You, you’ve actually advanced, and moreover, to the Saint Seat Eighth Level Peak!”

Snow Wood found this unbelievable.

“You were but at the Saint Seat Fifth Level before, what elixir could you have taken? How is it possible that you’ve skyrocketed in progress like a rocket?”

The pulse of spiritual energy emanating from him was even more vigorous than her own.

Clearly, he was above her.

Snow Wood’s eyes widened, her shock not receding at all.

And Logan, perhaps contemplating a swift resolution, agreed to the fight.

Snow Wood swallowed nervously, her confidence in herself dwindling.

As expected, the subsequent fight went as such. His cultivation level was higher than hers; he had defeated her even when he was weaker, let alone now that he was stronger.

The outcome was as unpredictable as it was an overwhelming victory.

But Logan did not target Snow Wood because of this, stopping at the right moment.

He neither hurt her nor insulted her in any way.

Seeing such gentlemanly conduct from Logan, Snow Wood felt admiration and even more humility in her heart.

“You have my thanks, Young Master Logan, for I have lost. I never imagined that your talent was so formidable, rising so many levels in such a short time, while I’ve still been marking time. I fancied myself a genius, it seems I’ve been too conceited. Thank you, Young Master Logan, for teaching me this lesson.”

She appeared quite emotional, then swiftly changed the subject to inquire about another matter.

“Also, Young Master Logan, I have another question to ask, is the news of the Demon Race’s conspiracy true?”
