A few seconds later, a group of cultivators led by Martinez and Gloria arrived at the entrance of the underground base. They were escorting seven people, the strongest among them being at the middle emperor stage. The most powerful of the group was a middle-aged man with a blonde mustache and sharp eyes. He wore armor exuding peak heaven-grade energy, golden mayor mansion's insignia and red cape, a clear display of his status as the mayor of Arbares City.
He was accompanied by several knights, all of whom were at the king stage, a truly formidable composition. The mayor had personally come to verify the shocking news he had just received. When two members of the Paladin Knights had approached him with claims of a devil base near the city, his first instinct was to dismiss it as absurd.
