After a distinctive sound reverberated through that area, the muscles in Ruth's body finally stopped shaking while her soul stopped inflating.

At this moment, she reached level 52, simultaneously as her soul and body stabilized with its new capabilities.

Getting stronger meant becoming more resilient, with better regeneration, better senses, and so on. So, right now, that girlfriend of Minos was feeling pretty good about improving her characteristics.

That was not as drastic as the spiritual cleansing during stage advancement or specific procedures. Still, it was enough to put a smile on anyone's face.

Therefore, when she opened her eyes, she already had a beautiful smile on her face, looking in the direction where Minos and Abby were standing.

"Congratulations on reaching level 52, Ruth!" Abby was the first to say something as she stood next to Minos.

"Congratulations, Ruth..." Minos said, looking at the black-haired woman before him, feeling good.

He loved Ruth, and perhaps because of that, he felt happy to know that this woman was getting stronger. 

That was a gratifying feeling for him, something as good as if he had accomplished the feat he was congratulating Ruth on.

"At this rate, you will probably reach level 53 before you return to the Flaming Empire." He said as he analyzed Ruth's cultivation speed at the 6th stage.

Ruth had arrived in Dry City just under a year ago when Minos was at level 48. And since she had warned him that she could only stay around for less than two years because of her sect's rules, he had realized that there was still room for her to grow before this return of hers.

"Hmm, I guess so." She said, still smiling, as she approached those two and hugged young Stuart.

At the same time, Abby suddenly thought of something and asked Ruth. "By the way, when you leave, how long will we be without seeing you?"

"I wanted to know that too..." Minos said, in Ruth's ear, feeling the warmth of this woman, who at the moment was full of energy to spend.

Ruth then answered them both. "Well, after I get back to my sect, I'll have to do several missions until I can spend that much time away again."

"At least that's how it should be until I reach the 7th stage..."

"Anyway, I think I'll probably be gone for a year or so."

"Oh?" Abby said in surprise. But unfortunately, she and Minos wouldn't be able to have much time to themselves in that period.

After all, the war that was beginning against the Brown family would probably not end anytime soon. And as such, in that time that Ruth would be away, Abby and Minos would probably not have many opportunities to be alone.

On the other hand, this blue-haired woman had already grown accustomed to Ruth's presence. Even though the two had a rough start, she would miss this woman more than be relieved that Ruth had to be away for this period.

"Anyway, I'll probably be back in Dry City before the war is even settled," Ruth said, smiling, just before looking at Abby and asking. "What about you? Will you become a Spiritual King before my departure?"

"Tsk!"

"I'm almost there already. I just need about 2 or 3 more months!" Abby said as she turned her face away, unhappy at Ruth's tone.

Seeing this, Minos used his arms to grab the waists of those women and start directing them to a particular place. "Hehehehe, let's forget this for now..."

"It's time for you two to get a little closer..." He said in a perverted tone, already using his hands to feel the bodies of those two. "It's time for us to have fun!"

...

While Minos was working hard to keep his two girlfriends satisfied, a specific piece of information had arrived in the Snow family's royal palace!

After the information sent by Dean's captor finally reached the Snow family headquarters, it wasn't long before such a message was taken directly to the prince's office.

And just now, the future king of the Snow Kingdom was finishing listening to the report sent by that level 57 Spiritual King!

"... Thus, I hope that Your Highness is aware of the risks of carelessly attacking this place." A person finished reading such a report, which had all the findings of the recent interrogation regarding the Scourges of the Devil.

"So, that's how it is..." One of the Spiritual Kings in that place said so. At the same time, his eyes showed concern, despite satisfaction that they finally got the location of the enemy headquarters.

'In a way, now that we know that, it seems so obvious...'

Dean, the patriarch of the Chambers family, knew the location of the Scourge of the Devil headquarters. Thus, after being interrogated, he had told his captor everything, revealing the said place, which was at one point in the Endless Snow Mountain Range.

Specifically, the headquarters of this assassins' organization was between the borders of three states, the Kingdom of the End, the Snow Kingdom, and the Kingdom of the Waves.

Such a place was one of the most challenging places to access in this region, an area without cities for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Yet, at the same time, in such a region were the most extreme peaks of that mountain range, and a variety of powerful beast tribes lived there.

Because of all this, it was infrequent for anyone to pass through there, something that had somehow made this location perfect for that organization of assassins.

In fact, the Endless Snow Mountain Range had all the favorable characteristics for those who wanted to hide.

Several powers were living in seclusion there, each of them being very mysterious and strong enough to keep the curious away.

On the other hand, the climate and the terrain of that area made it very difficult to analyze those areas, which made some of the people in that office think that such an organization could not be anywhere else but there.

But even knowing this information, none of them were in a hurry to act. That was because, besides the location, Dean had also talked about some of the strength of the Scourges of the Devil, which, although it was only a fraction of the power of that organization, was enough to scare them.

According to Dean, such power had at least 3 Spiritual Kings at level 59, which he had already encountered!

And as much as he didn't know about the total numbers of that organization, it was enough to scare the people in the office.

Three cultivators at level 59, that was something that only two families in this region of the Central Continent had!

One of them was the Stone family from Stone Island. The other was House Carline, the most powerful family in the region, the royal house of the Kingdom of the End.

Consequently, this was not something the Snow family could handle alone since they only had one person of that level, the current king, the crown prince's father.

That is, at least they could not act carelessly against such an organization.

The Scourges of the Devil were famous for only accepting criminals who had reached the 6th stage into their ranks. As such, no matter how much they had mighty experts, this organization probably didn't have the numbers in their favor!

And that created possibilities for the crown prince of the Snow Kingdom to get his revenge.

"Maybe we should start talking to other families who have issues against the Scourges of the Devil." Someone in that place said as he talked about the obvious point. 

"Your Highness, we may not be able to destroy those assassins on our own. But I can assure you that we are fully capable of forming a strong enough army!"

"In our region, there is no shortage of enemies of the Scourges of the Devil!"

"Hmm, that's true..."

"For thousands of years, those assassins have tormented various organizations in our region."

"Yes, I do not doubt that a few dozen families are willing to form an alliance so that we can destroy the Scourges of the Devil."

Several comments favorable to this idea sounded in that office. At the same time, each of those people could not disagree with that point.

The Scourges of the Devil were scary and had made many enemies for years. And come to think of it, perhaps some vengeful individuals would rise and march against such an organization.

"That seems to be the only way out...."
