Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

THE NORTHERN TERRITORY had been the most vicious amongst the five territories. Their entire force’s strength was only second to that of the strongest in Da Sishen. In fact, they would at most equal the Central Domain’s power if not for the City Palace Lord’s presence as the tipping point variable.

They had already been marked as bullies by other territories as they would act presumptuously against another without having done anything unwise or bad to them. They were the type of unreasonable people.

They even bullied the monks from the Western Territory.

Each territory had a humungous city that stood amongst the rest within its vicinity. If the Eastern Territory had Guile City, the Northern Territory had Diabolos City. At the center of a space transmission array formation stood a young man whose dark eyes could cause another’s death with a gaze. With his cape flapping on his back, his demeanor was no different from that of an old man who had gone through thick and thin.

And despite his small body, every step that he took would shake the whole area. How powerful was he exactly? Nobody knew except himself._.

After all, the operations he had done so far were always carried out by his four demon generals, dubbed as: Soul Demon, Speed Demon, Fierce Demon, and the Runic Demon.

Among the four of them, the strongest was the Runic Demon. As for the limit of his strength, nobody also knew. No one saw him fight with all his trump cards.

The young man and his four demon generals had ruled over the Northern Territory for a very long time. This eventually led those who were disdainful towards demonic people away from the territory.

Within Diabolos City, the young man and the four generals had a meeting.

“You, four,” the young man began. “For a few days, I will go to the secret space for a few days. I will first get that thing out from there and see if I could take it this time around. The previous ruler of this territory was so stingy about demons. Let’s see if he could still resist my power after reaching a certain height of my strength.”

Runic Demon then replied, “No problem, City Lord. We will take it from here. I’ll continue the investigation regarding the Eastern Territory’s strength. They have been the weakest among the five territories. Trying to swallow them to our rule might become not too difficult for us.”

The young man nodded at the Runic Demon. “You’re the wisest among the four of you. I will leave the decision-making to you. Just always remember not to strike while I’m not here. If possible, we can’t let the Central Domain know about our operations. We are not afraid of them, but we should not let any existing variable to ruin our plans. You should first take control of the strongest expert in the city. Wang Lao, wasn’t it?”

“No, City Lord,” Runic Demon answered. “Wang Lao was the strongest on the surface. In the depths of Guile City, there was an old monster who was as strong as me. However, he should have certainly recognized my presence when I entered the city stealthily, but he didn’t make a move. This was seriously odd.”

“No problem, you don’t have a problem suppressing him, right? If possible, you do it through a sneak attack. Then, let Soul Demon take control of his soul. After all, Soul Demon was the most powerful when it came to mental power attacks.” As though remembering something, the young man then grinned. “Are our participants for the Annual Death Ceremony ready?”

“Yes, City Lord,” Runic Demon responded. “The army that was also going to stir trouble during the Eastern Territory’s elimination round was also already prepared. You can leave without any worry, City Lord. This demon had everything in his control.”

Fierce Demon licked his lips. Among the four demon generals, he was the fondest of eating human meat. Just the thought of eating human flesh made him tremble in ecstasy. “Will there be humans to eat, then?”

Soul Demon snickered. “Huh, what a human-eating brute.”

Speed Demon, on the other hand, was the coldest of the four. His eyes drifted from Fierce Demon to Soul Demon. Afterward, he just ignored them and looked at the young man before him admiringly.

The young man smiled at this seemingly nonchalant conversation but could strike fear among humans. “Okay, then, I will go now.”

“Take care of your journey, City Lord. I hope you get that ‘thing’ the moment you go out, so we can increase our overall strength.”

“Yeah, even the Central Domain’s Palace Lord wouldn’t have the guts to protect the other territories the moment I got that thing. At most, I would be able to hold him out,” the young man said as he smiled. “Remember, the Devil’s Den being wiped out was a great blow to us. I still don’t know who did it, but we also have to be wary of our territory. Even though I am confident, I still feel uneasy. Therefore, before making a move, assess the situation first, lest you suffer the backlash for being reckless. Always remember about our plan. We need the human lives to ascend to a higher realm and meet our seniors.”

The moment he finished speaking, the array formation on his feet shone. It left the four demon generals in awe and they looked at each other afterward.

As though alarmed, Wang Lao was hastily summoned by the City Ancestor. The City Ancestor was at the peak of the God Emperor. However, his old age prevented him from advancing further. Wang Lao himself didn’t know how long his father would live in this world or when the time would come for him to perish.

Wang Lao came into a chamber just below his room, where he and his brother had previously talked with each other. With his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze was complicated when he saw the meditating old man before him.

Bowing slightly with hands cupped, he called the old man, “Father.”

“Lao’er,” the old man said, his voice as though it rang along with the breeze in the middle of a quiet ocean. “This old man had something to tell you. These days, I sense some demons lurking around the city. You have to be wary. I even sensed someone with the same cultivation as me. During the elimination round for the Annual Death Ceremony, the Northern Territory, a territory of demons, might take this chance to strike…”
