Even if Huo Ling handed these Calamity Coins to Sali and the other two devils, the three of them would never embezzle any of it.

After all, these Calamity Coins were the key to whether they could become Greater Devils.

Once they became Greater Devils, they would stand at the pinnacle of devilkind. From then on, they would no longer need to worry about anyone above them choking off their path to advancement.

After becoming Greater Devils and gaining Legendary-level strength, their future power would depend on their own cultivation.

As for their titles, they would depend on their contributions to Purgatory—usually military merit.

Of course, even if the three of them advanced to Legendary rank, Huo Ling would still stand above them.

They would serve as court nobles, or honorary nobles. They were Huo Ling's servants.

They would not receive territorial grants and could only become the lowest-ranking barons. Once their advancement was complete, they would return to Huo Ling's command and serve him once more.

Even so, the three devils found it sweeter than honey.

Greater Devils! Devil nobles! What glory could surpass that?!

While the three went off to make arrangements, Huo Ling remained seated upon his throne, idly turning the territorial scepter in his hand.

Thinking it over, aside from when he had first advanced to Legendary rank and gone to Bronze Citadel to receive his title, many years had already passed.

The shops in Bronze Citadel had likely accumulated plenty more spellcaster corpses waiting for Huo Ling to buy.

The last time he had gone to Bronze Citadel, he had lacked sufficient Calamity Coins. He could only stare greedily at many corpses, unable to take them away.

This time, Huo Ling decided to spend lavishly!

He would spend every remaining Calamity Coin he had on
