"I see. That is truly unfortunate. If I had known, I would have come to look for them sooner."

Cleve said, feigning annoyance.

"My apologies. You may select another mission."

"No need, thank you."

After obtaining the information he wanted, Cleve instructed his clansmen to continue the surveillance while he returned to the family estate to report to Kaufman.

On the streets of Lier City.

"We are about to leave here for a journey that will last decades. If anyone has anything to buy or needs to prepare, use this time wisely. Just make sure to return to the residence before the curfew."

Simon said to the group.

Since everyone cultivated in different directions, their needs varied, so Simon suggested they move about freely.

"That works out perfectly. I need to maintain my weapons and armor, and I might as well stock up on some fine wine. The journey is too long; it would be unbearable without wine on the road."

Hamut said.

"Lona and I will also go prepare and purchase some supplies for the trip."

"I also happen to need to stock up on some Crystal Balls and Saint Realm souls."

With that, everyone dispersed.

Simon and Fanny didn't have much to prepare, so the two walked leisurely along the wide streets of Lier City.

"I'm about to see the legendary Starry Fog Sea. I'm quite looking forward to it."

Simon smiled.

"That's right. We can finally watch the sunrise and sunset together on the Starry Fog Sea." Fanny hugged Simon's arm, her face full of happiness.

Inside the Penya Family.

"You're saying they accepted an escort mission to Green Mountain City? Are you certain there are still only six of them?"

Kaufman asked.

"Patriarch, we are certain."

Cleve replied.

"Very good. Cleve, you have performed a great service this time. Once this is done, the family will surely reward you handsomely."

After praising Cleve and dangling a carrot in front of him, Kaufman turned to notify others to immediately head to Quicksand Castle to spread this latest news.

The group of Six-Star Fiends who had been closely monitoring this news began to rub their hands together, preparing for a big score.

Whether I can rise to prominence depends on this one time!

Samuel thought to himself.

He was a newly promoted Six-Star Fiend who cultivated the Laws of Fate. His strength was decent, but he lacked the accumulation of time, so he didn't have many Inkstones, and he had never even seen Sovereign's Might, only heard of it.

After accidentally hearing the news about Fanny this time, he could no longer restrain himself.

The other Six-Star Fiends were in a similar situation to Samuel.

They had all become Six-Star Fiends only recently, and their wealth and life-saving means did not yet match their current strength.

Therefore, they all harbored ulterior motives.

This was very common in Hell.

How could working hard on missions compare to the thrill of getting rich overnight?

Sometimes, Fiends would also moonlight as bandits.

It all depended on whether the rewards were proportional to the risks.

This time, they prepared to disguise themselves as bandits and strike when the opportunity arose.

After all, the wealth carried by the direct descendants of a super family in Hell was simply too tempting.

Simon and his group, who were strolling leisurely, were unaware that a conspiracy was already brewing.

However, even if Simon knew, he wouldn't care.

They were just some Six-Star Fiends who couldn't amount to much; he would kill as many as came.

It would be perfect to use them to christen his newly perfected Ice Wind Space and Ice-Wind Prison.

He could also test his newly refined material attack technique—the Ice-Wind Slash.

He believed it would surely give them a surprise.

Relying on the three fused, perfected heterogeneous profound mysteries, as well as his other various ultimate techniques.

Simon's current strength no longer required him to be timid.

Even a Seven-Star Fiend, if their life-saving means weren't strong enough or they weren't fast enough, wouldn't be able to escape Simon's blade.

Chapter 71: Setting Off Again

Simon accompanied Fanny for most of the day, visiting most of the interesting places in Lier City, and after picking up a few things, they returned to the residence.

At this moment, Napote and the others had not yet returned.

Presumably, there were many things they needed to prepare.

They had followed Simon along the way, killing bandits and harvesting quite a few Inkstones, so there was no need to worry about a lack of funds.

Simon was not worried about their safety either, as they were within the city walls.

Afterward, Simon and Fanny returned to the secret chamber to continue their cultivation.

Even though it was only for one night, Simon did not want to waste it.

Fanny also sat cross-legged nearby to cultivate along with him.

There was no help for it; if she didn't cultivate while alone, she would be even more bored...

Besides, staying by Simon's side made her very happy, even if she wasn't doing anything.

This night, the Herbert Mansion was very peaceful.

However, outside, it was "extraordinarily lively."

Although Hell stipulated that all major cities enforced a curfew after midnight, that only meant you were not allowed to wander the streets.

Inside your own home, no one would care what you did.

Inside the Penya Family.

"For this operation, we will first tail that Monk caravan, and once we reach the Starry Fog Sea, we will find an opportunity to strike. Cleve, are you all truly certain that there are only those few Midgods by Fanny's side?"

Kaufman looked down at the people below, his sharp gaze resting on Cleve as he asked.

"Patriarch, we are certain!"

Seeing the clansmen responsible for tracking and monitoring Simon and the others, they were all very sure.

The heavy stone in Kaufman's heart finally landed.

What he had been worried about was that a mysterious powerhouse would suddenly appear at the last moment to act as Fanny's bodyguard.

He couldn't help it; he had been truly terrified by being hunted down in the past.

A Seven-Star Fiend might be remarkable to the outside world, but to the Grayson Family, they were merely higher-level hired hands.

Of course, they were publicly declared as family retainers.

In reality, they were just subordinates loyal to the Grayson Family.

Therefore, Kaufman would not have been surprised in the slightest if a powerhouse had suddenly appeared by Fanny's side.

It was just that after such a long period of surveillance, no suspicious powerhouses had appeared, so Kaufman could only comfort himself that the situation was exactly as it seemed.

But being cautious by nature, he still prepared to wait until they reached the Starry Fog Sea to make his move.

During this time, he could also see how the net he had cast earlier was performing.

According to family intelligence reports, there were at least ten Six-Star Fiends in Lier City who were very interested in the massive wealth and the potential Sovereign's Might on Fanny's person.

Over the past few hundred years, these ten Six-Star Fiends had been the most attentive regarding intelligence on Fanny.

Their motives were clear at a glance.

Although no Seven-Star Fiend had taken the bait, Kaufman was still very satisfied.

Ten Six-Star Fiends were enough to test whether or not there was a hidden powerhouse by Fanny's side.

Inside a small building in the East District of Lier City.

"Big Brother, that is the granddaughter of Grayson, who is hailed as the 'number one person under the Sovereigns of the Bifu Continent.' Are we really going to take the risk of robbing her?"

The short-haired, lean man, Kyle, asked.

"What are you panicking about? No matter how strong Grayson is, he can't reach into the affairs of the Starry Fog Sea. As long as we are careful and pull off this job, we can truly live carefree for countless ages."

The man who looked like the leader, Clawber, said viciously.

For the past few hundred years, they had collected quite a bit of intelligence regarding Fanny and the Grayson Family.

Combining all this information, they were certain that Fanny was indeed a direct descendant of the Grayson Family and that she was only accompanied by a few Midgods.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Such a fat, juicy sheep.

Clawber felt that if he didn't make a move, he would be doing a disservice to the heavens.

He had worked as a bandit for a period in the past, but after his strength reached the level of a Six-Star Fiend, he had washed his hands of it to walk the straight and narrow, planning to challenge a Prefect or a Purgatory Commander once he became a Seven-Star Fiend and was confident enough, chasing the pinnacle of cultivation.

Therefore, the work experience Clawber had accumulated in the past was still there.

Now that he was about to return to his old trade, he felt quite excited just thinking about it.

Inside a hotel in the South District of Lier City.

Having received the definitive news, Samuel sat in deep meditation, waiting only for dawn to take action.

He was a lone wolf, and for the sake of caution, he also prepared to wait until they reached the Starry Fog Sea to act.
