Death… And Me Chapter 2071 Shady City

Chapter 2071 Shady City

Roan wasn't kidding. Ever since they arrived in Higher Realms, every city housed at least a few tens of millions of habitants. Usually, they had over a hundred million, with some of those cities surpa.s.sing the billion mark. The Underworld wasn't any different in that aspect either. Still, the city right in front of him fitted completely inside Roan's Divine Sense. That was a first for him in the Higher Realms. In fact, he didn't need even 10% of his Divine Sense range to see it entirely.

"Is it even a city? Well, it has around a hundred thousand inhabitants, so I guess it qualifies as one. Still, this is truly a spec of sand for the Higher Realms standard..."

Sesame laughed at Roan's reaction. "Hahaha! It's small, isn't it? However, that's how it is supposed to be. This is Dark Web City, a place where only shady businesses are made. You won't find a single proper organization in this place."

Roan looked back at Sesame. "This is the cultivation world. Is there really such a thing as proper organizations?"

Sesame nodded. "There should be one or two out there, right? In any case, a lot of them at least try to look good on the surface. You won't find it here, though. Every single business here does not hide that they work on the dark side of the world of cultivators."

"Yet, believe it or not, this Dark Web City is one of the oldest cities of the Underworld and even the Higher Realms. Every single organization here has ties with different Elder Devils, so they aren't afraid of anything. Since there are so many Elder Devils involved, you won't find lonely Elder Devils trying to cause trouble as it would bother the rest," Sesame explained.

Roan was more than satisfied with that. "That's good enough for me."

Sesame then began to approach the city entrance with Roan. Naturally, they were disguising themselves so that others would think them to be Devils. Roan had Rean's appearance change skill, while Sesame's cultivation was at the peak of what you could find in the Higher Realms. They were both safe in this regard. Not to mention no one would expect anyone to cause trouble in Dark Web City, which they don't intend to do anyway.

They pa.s.sed through the gate after paying the entrance fee, which was quite an exorbitant amount that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Immediately, several Divine Senses, some at the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm, scanned the two before quickly retreating. It was normal that such a place would have quite a few high-level experts to keep order.

As they walked, Roan asked Sesame with his Divine Sense, 'If you ask about information regarding Belial, won't he be informed about that? We only have a limited time before he goes back, considering he left at all. There is always a chance that he hasn't come out.'

'You don't need to worry about that,' Sesame wasn't worried. 'Although the Elder Devils keep the businesses running, it is not like they are on friendly terms. Seeling information about each other is more than welcome as it might hinder the other part. As long as we don't go after an organization that has ties with Belial, we should be fine. Besides, even if someone informs him, buying information about the Elder Devils isn't that uncommon in this place.'

'But that was the way things worked when you were still able to come out of the Swamp of No Return, right?' Roan asked back. 'So long has pa.s.sed. I wonder if things are still like the way they were before you got stuck inside there.'

Sesame didn't deny the possibility. 'It might be true. I don't think that to be the case, though. We will find out. Don't forget, I might not be as strong as the Elder Devils in the Underworld. However, if all I have to do is escape, then I'm confident I can do so. We are fine.'

Roan nodded. He knew that defeating and killing an opponent were two completely different things. The order of magnitude in the difficulty of the first option was truly much higher, especially with similar-level beings.

Sesame seemed to know exactly where and what to ask. Roan wouldn't have a bad time with his experience, either. Not too long, they found an information seller that seemed to have nothing to do with Belial's forces in the city. With Roan's caution side, he forced Sesame around for quite a while longer to make sure that was the case.

"Hum? Information about Elder Devil Belial?" Inside a sealed chamber, an old Elder Devil looked at Roan and Sesame with a smile on his face. "Obviously, we have it. However, Elder Devil-level information is quite expensive."

"Price is not an issue. As long as the information is legit, we can pay for it. Of course..." Sesame then released some of his aura, although he suppressed it to look like a s.p.a.ce-Time Initial Stage Devil. That was definitely very high cultivation, nonetheless. "I hope you and your friends won't have any 'not-very-safe' ideas regarding this statement of mine."

The Devil's smile disappeared momentarily before it quickly returned. It's just that this time, it seemed a little forced. Sure enough, no one would buy a fight with a s.p.a.ce-Time Being for no reason. "But of course, sir! We might be dealing with 'not-very-honorous' deals here. However, we need to at least provide reliable service to our clients; otherwise, no one will pay anymore."

Whether Sesame and Roan believed the Devil's words or not didn't matter. With his display of strength, Sesame has taken himself out of any possible plan of being robbed once he leaves the city. Especially since s.p.a.ce-Time Devils are usually closely related to Elder Devils, thus it was another reason not to cause him trouble.

"Good!" Sesame nodded, satisfied. "We need information about Elder Devil Belial, especially the place where he lives."

The Devil Dealer quickly nodded. "No problem. It will cost you a hundred thousand Rank Five Devilish Stones."

"Deal." Sesame didn't even batch an eye and paid the Devil straight away.
