Chapter 4503
Morticia was wise though. She knew that it was difficult for her to do it alone and complete
the monumental task Archfiend Antigonus gave to her, so she decided to have a
discussion with the officials.
At that moment, Morticia took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile. "Why is
everyone panicking? I won't harm you as long as you serve me wholeheartedly, and I'll
even give you riches and glory for the rest of your life! You'll enjoy it immensely."
The officials all smiled sheepishly when they heard that and displayed an indescribable
sense of humility and respect.
Morticia was very satisfied to see their response.
"I called you over because I need your help to figure out how to recruit talents from the
world of cultivators," she said, smiling.
Her delicate face beamed with confidence when she said that but she still felt somewhat
worried. Morticia was actually very powerful, being one of the Twelve Fiend Martyrs.
Unfortunately, she was alone and her influence would still be rather weak even if she
allied with the New World Royals. After all, the entire Nine Mainland was vast and capable
individuals existed in untold numbers. Relying on that meager bit of strength was hardly
sufficient to conquer them all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter hearing that, the officials looked at each other and felt that they were in a tight spot.
To think that a Fiend Martyr showed a desire to recruit talents from the world of
cultivators! Doing so was easier said than done though, i
Morticia frowned when she saw their expressions and said unhappily, "What's wrong? Do
you really need so much time to consider a matter as trivial as this? You don’t need to
show up in front of me anymore if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer within half an
hour."
Her voice was pleasantly crisp yet bone-chilling at the same time.
'We're done for!’ the officials thought.
Morticia's powerful aura struck fear into the officials and they exchanged glances with
each other. They initially considered just brushing off her request, but that did not seem to
be a viable option anymore.
A look of panic streaked past their eyes and one of the Master Generals had an idea. He
stepped forward immediately and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, I have a proposal.
Let's issue a notice to call for heroes in the queen's name. We'll invite ambitious
individuals from all over the world of cultivation to come to our royal city and participate
in a martial arts competition.
"The grand champion will be conferred a rank of nobility and receive an official residence
as a reward. Those who make the top ten will receive generous rewards as well."
'Hmm?' Morticia smiled and praised the suggestion. "A great method indeed. Brave men
will soon appear when there are rewards. A few of you should work together to handle this
matter. The sooner, the better."
"Yes, Your Excellency," the officials responded in unison and walked out of the hall to begin
their preparations.
Half an hour later, the announcement was posted on the streets and alleys throughout the
entire royal city. News spread far and wide, drawing in countless people from all corners of
the world. i
The world of cultivation was a ruthless place and many cultivators were malicious
individuals who placed their own personal interests above everything else. They all came
to South Cloud Royal City to try their luck.
After all, the rewards stated in the announcement were simply too attractive. Those who
got first place would be conferred a rank of nobility-a dream that countless cultivators
have chased after for their entire lives. 1
Half a day later, with the influx of cultivators from the rivers and lakes, the already

appeared in the bustling street.
The person was dressed in yellow robes, and although they were cutting a sorry and
travel-worn figure, their eyes seemed to be twinkling with vitality.
It was Sergio.
Back at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, Sergio took advantage of Yvette's fierce battle with
Thoth to sneak in. He later ran into Darryl again and leveraged the urgency of the
situation to escape using devious means, i
Sergio did not have the luxury of resting after his escape, for he feared that Darryl might
catch up to him. He came all the way to the South Cloud World and only breathed a sigh of
relief when he was sure of his safety.
Half a day earlier, he saw many people coming to the South Cloud Royal City from all
corners of the world of cultivation. Out of sheer curiosity, he decided to check things out.
Sergio looked around while standing on the street and noticed a group of people gathered
near a royal notice not far away. He suddenly decided to go over and squeeze through the
crowd.
Sergio's eyes flickered as soon as he saw what was written on the royal notice. He could
not hide his excitement and enthusiasm. The South Cloud Palace was going to hold a
tournament. It provided a good opportunity for him to finally make a name for himself.
After all, he would never have to fear Darryl's pursuit if he was lucky enough to win first
place and receive the South Cloud Royals' support!
