The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1342

"Ha-ha! Hello, my old friend, it's been a while. Of course, you are always welcome here!"

Wally let out boisterous laughter as he greeted the newcomer with open arms.

In the next moment, a middle-aged man wearing cyan robes came into Ricky's view.

Although the older man's breath was muted to Ricky's senses, he could vaguely tell that this person was a lot stronger than Wally. Besides, Ricky also had a feeling that the middle-aged man had reached a higher level of the Sage Level.

'Is it possible that this man has reached the Demi-spiritual Potentate Level?'

wondered Ricky to himself as the two men greeted each other.

"That's possible," agreed the Dragon Intent Grass. "But Wally's momentum feels slightly weaker than that man's."

"Deputy Chief!"

Wally said to the cyan-clad man, inclining his head in respect. After that formality, a warm smile brightened his face, as he began to treat the other man like a close friend.

'He called him the deputy chief... Is that guy the Misty South Palace's First Deputy Chief?!'

Ricky inwardly gasped in surprise when he heard Wally's words. Although, of course, his face remained sharp and impassive.

A total of seven palaces were located in the Misty South, and each chief of the Misty South Palace came from those seven palaces. These chiefs were also the strongest warrior in the land. The First Palace was the most prestigious one, for the Misty South Palace's chief originated from them.

As for the other palaces, they weren't listed in any particular order.

In practice, the leaders of other palaces were all called deputy chiefs, and they were also arranged in no particular order, meaning that there were no specific second or third deputy chiefs and so on.

However, the First Palace's leader was always the most powerful one.

And he was aptly known as the First Deputy Chief, the one in charge of the Third Sheol City.

This First Deputy Chief was undoubtedly a demi-spiritual potentate and the most powerful in the four continents.

At that point, the middle-aged man in cyan clothes turned his attention to Ricky and assessed his strength. His once serene expression became one of surprise as he addressed Wally.

"My friend, I see that you weren't lying. I'm glad to see that this little guy is fine, or I won't be able to face the lord."

"Lord? Is he talking about Master Otis?" Ricky blurted out when he heard these words.

"Ha-ha! You are right, boy. It seems that Otis still remembers you. He was probably the one who asked the First Deputy Chief to help you, but Wally noticed your abilities, so he didn't make a move,"

the Dragon Intent Grass surmised, sounding amused at the turn of events.

"Sometimes, good talent can be a kind of capital!"

"Hello, sir!"

Ricky greeted the cyan-clad man with the utmost respect.

"I, have been entrusted by the lord with your safety. He sent me here to find you and protect you from any harm before the selection," the First Deputy Chief relayed to Ricky.

"Thank you so much, sir. I am honored by your attention," said Ricky, who was grateful that he had one more strong ally at his side.

When they had briefed the First Deputy Chief on the situation, the man was also shocked to learn that Ricky had successfully cultivated the Shadowy Emperor Replication. Since the First Deputy Chief was a top-tier warrior, he knew how difficult it was to master this skill.

"You tricked a lot of saints, boy, and that will give you an edge in the upcoming selection," the First Deputy Chief remarked. "Alas! The devil race is bound to invade, but we, creatures of the continents, are still fighting against each other."

Frustration and worry were evident in his voice.

Truth be told, the devil race was not much stronger than the creatures on the continents. And yet, they had managed to win almost all the battles for countless years despite the efforts of the continents' creatures.
