This should be the place where that infamous creature came out of!\", the man whispered, and a greedy look flashed across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that he would be the lucky one to find this place among the many competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everything went well, such an opportunity might allow his strength to undergo a massive transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stared at the gate below and touched his chin, wondering what he should do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had found this place, the Hollow had already shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to search for that creature’s inheritance or the treasures it left behind, he had no idea where to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many emotions alternated on his face. After thinking for a few minutes, he raised the cane and was about to bring it down on the gate below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a whispered voice echoed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect that there would be someone wandering near here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Hollow your target?

He turned around and opened his mouth, mustering the courage to speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, I stumbled upon this place by accident. I was merely searching for clues related to the Catastrophe Devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect that someone was staying here. Please forgive me for the disturbance I might have caused.\", the hunched man spoke, and bowed his head, while secretly trying to take a glimpse of the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the woman did not give him a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his subservient look and his honest expression that said \"I’ll tell you everything you ask\", she casually waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the man could react, his body exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a soul remained at the place where he once stood, as even his bloody remains were wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a hand clasped at his remaining soul before chewing noises echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.948Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae4a7214454cb115f036d51595d4f4ac7cd00cc1b734b90807263a603ea9ea22","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-269","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-268",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
