"Are you all shocked?" Yates asked with a smile while he took a few steps through the air. No matter how offensive Ricky and others were in questioning him, he was not angry at all.
He had everything under control and had the ability to kill those three as easily as smashing ants. One wouldn't be easily provoked when he knew he was far more superior to his opponents.
"Every array here was deployed by you!" Ricky accused him.
"You've got it. How could a person with innate spirit power like me enter this graveyard otherwise?" Yates gushed. "By the way, I'm in a very generous mood as of now, so you have the chance to ask me whatever you want to know. If you don't ask me anything now, you'll just have to take your questions to your graves."
"The so-called opportunity to become an innate spiritual king was a conspiracy set up by the Endless Shadow decades ago, right?" Ricky asked directly.
"Almost there!" Yates clapped his hands in appreciation for Ricky's question before saying, "You deserve to survive the wrath of the whole Realm of Wildness.
However, you missed one thing. This plan was merely designed by me and it has nothing to do with the Endless Shadow."
Proud of his conspiracy, Yates conceitedly revealed everything before Ricky could ask more questions.
"When this broken ancient battlefield was bordered by the Chaotic Region three hundred years ago, I broke a part of the sealing array in this graveyard with my supreme power and made my way into the Chaotic Region.
I discarded all of my evil spirit and restarted my cultivating with the spiritual energy in the Chaotic Region. I eventually succeeded in becoming an innate spiritual king once again about two hundred years ago.
At that time when I joined the Endless Shadow, I was in an urgent need of a force to help me. With the aid of the Endless Shadow, I established my own force in the Chaotic Region. That force is called the Aeolus Palace today."
"You are the devil--a true devil whose true nature has been sealed in this graveyard!" The three realized the truth and were in shock.
"It doesn't matter if I'm a devil or a human anymore--I don't know what I really am now." Yates laughed.
"I made the Aeolus Palace spread the news of the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king thirty-five years ago, so I could use it as bait to attract all the warriors in the Chaotic Region," Yates continued.
"It makes sense, but what about the Skeleton Dragon in the Chaotic Mountains? Were the rumor of the Bronze Key spread by you, too? Is it all related to your conspiracy?" Ricky inquired in anger.
He was also a little sad. All the warriors in the Chaotic Region, including some innate spiritual kings, had been completely deceived for decades by the devil that called himself Yates.
"Of course! I specifically arranged for the Skeleton Dragon. The Bronze Key is one of the centers of this sealing array; and plus the valuable Great Dragon's blood essence, those three treasures were more likely to convince warriors of the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king in the Chaotic Region. Am I right? Yates laughed.
His anger came right after his laughter as he said, "But I never expected that someone else would get the Bronze Key instead of my agent."
"It seems that this liar is the one who sent Thomas out," Ricky murmured. "That must mean that the Bronze Key is still useful to him because it is a center of this array and seals his graveyard."
"It doesn't matter though, because everything here is much better than how I expected it to be. You human beings are so greedy. Just a rumor can make you come all the way to this place, one after another."
Yates became excited again after he said that.
