As the fire extinguished, Lan Xue returned back inside the room. She was able to witness the hundreds of cruel experiments that were previously caged in this underground cave and was able to feel a little bit of the terror those people that were captured must have felt.

She now understood why Seth hated that Clan of demons so much. They treated people's lives like it were their things, doing whatever atrocity they wanted to do with them.

However, this was not the first nor this would be the last time, cruel things like this happened in the cultivation world.

Seth was standing still inside the room, contemplating over the things he had seen on Grigor's memories.

"What now?" Lan Xue asked.

"I've discovered their next hideout location. Let's go, we can still get them unprepared if we depart now."

Lan Xue nodded and both of them left from the hidden cave.

While leaving, Seth used his Soul Sense to make sure no one would be able to get out of that place alive. A bloodbath had happened there, and over four hundred Cerberus Clan members were killed by either Seth's resentful strikes, or Lan Xue's frigid attacks.

There were only a few people outside that knew the exact position of that hidden cave, but most of them were inside the next location Seth and Lan Xue were heading to. So, what had happened here, would remain hidden for a long time, until someone actively discovered the mountain of corpses inside that hole.

Zertis tried to establish a connection again for the hundredth time, but there was no response from the other hideout. It was like their connections had been totally shut down.

He furrowed his eyebrows and decided to call for the Clan Head. They could not let things like this happen at this time. The masterpiece was close to completion and nothing should disturb the process else Velgor would not like it.

Barghest arrived at his office room some minutes later.

"Why are you calling for me? I have no time for trivial matters."

"Clan Head, you will certainly find that this is not trivial at all. We lost the connection with the other hideout some hours ago. I've asked Grigor to investigate, since he was closer to that point, but I can't establish a connection with him either. We are probably suffering an attack from a hidden group."

"An attack? Heh... That makes me think about a very curious thing."

"Please, enlighten me Clan Head. I have no idea who would try creating trouble for us now."

"Well... We are said to be dead, trading our lives for protecting the Devil Empress, what is actually a deed that would bring us honor and respect. The point, is that there shouldn't be any hidden powers searching for us, since we protected our empress till the end. Only if that person or group of people knew this was all a bullshit."

"How? How could someone figure out about that?"

"Simple... That person not only know about us, but saw us too! Only that situation would lead to him or her raising some doubts about what had happened back them. But even so, attack us for that motive is something too vague."

"What?! Impossible! There shouldn't be someone that have actually seen us and left alive."

Barghest smiled towards him but he didn't say anything. However, inwardly he already had a very interesting guess.

"This is not a hidden power attacking us, but a hidden expert! I want you to be ready to release the "Crimson Agent" at any time."

"Are you planning to use that? It's not ready yet..."

"That doesn't matter. If they discover our location, you are going to do it whether you want to or not. These are my orders. After I give you the signal, you must do it."

"Sigh... Understood."

Barghest left that room and entered the laboratory, where there was a huge red cylinder at the middle. He knew that for someone to be attacking them, it was more probably that person would be doing it because of a personal vendetta.

After some time in silence, he smiled and thought: 'So you've finally come... Seth.'

Almost a whole day passed by and two different lights, one blue and one black, shot across the land at an incomparable speed, moving towards the deepest parts of the Desolate Scorching Wasteland.

The place they were in, was already completely different from the environment at the initial parts. The fissures on the surface of those dry rocks, were deep enough to connect to the deepest parts of the earth, making fire constantly be expelled from there.

Lan Xue lightly furrowed her eyebrows, after realizing they were not that far away from the Forbidden Lands. Even the atmosphere here, was already very heavy. She wanted to remind Seth about that, but she noticed he was attentively looking towards a certain spot.

Seth was having a flashback from the time he was brought here. Many things have happened since that time, but he wasn't able to forget anything.

Now that he was almost finding that person, he wouldn't go back until he was able to kill him.

Seth was about to dash forward and go towards the base the Cerberus Clan was hiding in, but before he started running again, he saw a silhouette slowly walking his way.

He was a demon that Seth would never dare to forget the face. The face of someone responsible to destroy his life and throw him in the darkness.

Barghest had a pale long hair, that was totally dry and messy. While calmly walking, he had a smile of his lips that were only able to transmit madness. If someone looked at him, they would never think he was the one behind the "Crimson Agent's" plan, but madman.

His clothes were strange. He didn't like to wear the robes people usually like to, but messy clothes that had some silver chains here and there. Apart from that, the only other accessory he used, was the Cerberus ring, proving who he really was.

Other than him, Seth and Lan Xue couldn't see anyone else.

Barghest stopped a bit far away from them and said: "I had a hunch it would be you. After all these years, you're still resenting what happened back then, right?"

Lan Xue quickly used her energy to identify the aura coming from him. She discovered he was a Profound Mana late-stage Realm cultivator, so she deduced he was probable the Cerberus Clan Head.

Seth suddenly took a step forward and said to Lan Xue: "Lan Xue, I want to fight alone against him. Please do not interfere in this battle."

Lan Xue knew how much it probably mattered to him and agreed. She didn't know the complete story, but that man seemed to know Seth.

Seth slowly walked forwards, heading towards Barghest. Impressively, each step he took was calm and tranquil, differently from how he was feeling inside.

At that pace, it took him about two whole minutes to cover that distance, until he was just two meters away from that demon.

"It is impressive how much you grew on this short time. I would never think that you would end up achieving the Mana Control peak-stage Realm so quickly."

Seth stared at him and said: "You should be happy, since this is the kind of monster you created."

"Ahahaha! I'm actually very satisfied. I'd never thought that raiding a small village like that would give birth to such an anomaly."

Seth fists cracked as he heard Barghest talking about his village. Actually, the whole village didn't matter for him as how much his adoptive mother mattered. He not only lost her, be he lost a very big part of himself on that day.

Barghest saw that Seth was making a lot of efforts in order to not attack him and decided to do one last thing before they battled.

"Seth... There is something I wanted to show you. Something Master Velgor has been keeping in storage for you."

"!!!" Seth realized that Barghest had just confirmed that Velgor had relations with everything that happened all these years.

But before he could ask him anything, he saw Barghest taking an item out of his spatial ring. It was a purple round object. It was not an orb, but kind of resemble one.

Just as Seth looked towards that object, the Soul Trap inside his body started to get restless. It was receiving the call from what could control it and wanted to desperately do what it had to.

Seth suddenly turned off completely. It was like his eyes had lost its color and his limbs had lost its capacity to move. He was just "standing" in front of Barghest, waiting for his command.

"AHAHAHAHA!!! This is so hilarious! Did you think we would create a monster and let him out of the leash? Did you take us for a fool?! AHAHA!"

Lan Xue silently observed everything from afar.

"I won't even tell you what this thing is, because you don't need to know. Actually, even I do not completely know how Master Velgor was able to come up with something like this, but it is very funny. Let's see how fun this is going to be... I order you to mercilessly attack that lady over there!"

Barghest ordered and the purple object shone brightly.

Seth's hands started to twitch, but very quickly, they stopped.. His body suddenly turned around as he looked towards Lan Xue.
