LONG GUANG WAS already fighting the head of the Sheng Family. On the other hand, Brownie was fighting those other weaker God Emperors to whom he would only slap them with his paw and become meat pastes.
While he disdained to devour weaker God Emperors, he still chose to devour others. Scarcity was not the problem. It was quality.
As the ongoing fight progressed, the heaven and earth qi within Da Sishen had greatly increased by a large margin. Everyone was busy fighting each other. Except for those outside Death City, nobody noticed the increase.
And nobody noticed the huge but inaudible breaths of a creature imprisoned at the bottom of the Hundred Deaths Gorge River.
âA member of the Dragon Race?â the head of the Sheng Family questioned as he stared at the little kidâs playful face. âWhy is there still someone alive from the Dragon Race?â
âLong Guang kill!â With that, Long Guang threw another punch at the old man but had not caused any damage to him.
Yang Lujia didnât give him any weapons to use. He only had his fist to rely on. After all, his master never expected him to fight in the first place, given his ageâtechnically a few months old.
As for the old man, he clearly had the advantage because of the imperial relic in his hands. However, as he continued to fight with Long Guang, he knew that he could not defeat the boy. But the boy couldnât defeat him either, let alone take his life away..
âBoy! You killed my daughter! I wonât show mercy!â he screamed and attacked once again.
Metallie came in front and suddenly confronted the old man. âDetected the enemyâs killing intent. Initiating execution,â it said.
Long Guang, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. Left dazed, his body suspended in the air.
However, long before he regained his senses, he was dragged away by Feng Huang along with Brownie. âLetâs go! The other stronger experts are now coming on their way. Weâll have Metallie block them. Letâs forget about staying within Death City for now.â
âDamn it! That guy is really strong!â she thought, with her gritted teeth, extremely annoyed by the fact that she could not defeat him at all.
With a stomp of her feet, she broke the only life-saver token she had and directly transported them outside Death City. With this, Feng Huang was finally able to breathe.
While she was fighting with Xia Jieke, she noticed a few auras, some even from other territories. From what she knew, those strong God Emperors from these territories had already come back to their places.
However, there were still quite several left within Death City to wait for their participants to come out from the Valley of Gods.
âLetâs hide our auras and recuperate. Little senior brother, you should rest as well. I just hope that Metallie gets through these God Emperors. Otherwise, we could only wait for the master to save us.â
âAlthough I donât want to admit him as my master, he still really is the most powerful. By then, since he wants me to accept become his disciple, I will naturally not reject him. However, on the condition that my sister should have already been saved.â
In a cave, a sleeping puppy and a little kid could be found. On their opposite side was Feng Huang. She was trying to cook food for them. She went out and caught some wild beasts and some fishes but was still unable to figure out how to cook them.
She growled in anger and threw the beasts she killed outside the cave. âFuck it. Letâs not eat then. Itâs not like weâre going to die, anyway.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat? The culprits of what happened were actually able to escape?!â
âEven Xia Jieke himself couldnât hold a candle against that little girl, they say.â
âOh right, I also heard that another little kid also appeared and killed a lot of God Emperors.â
âNah, man. Donât exaggerate it, lest you anger those monsters within Death City.â
âI know, but itâs the truth. My dad was there at that time. He witnessed the whole thing, you know!â
âDamn it!â Xia Jiekeâs dampened mood after a few days passed became even gloomier. Particularly the news about he could not defeat a little girl.
Sitting on his fatherâs position as the Deputy City Palace Lord, he looked at the group of black-clothed men. âHave you already investigated their identities?â
âYes, Deputy City Palace Lord. It is said that the little girl, little boy, and that puppy all came from the Eastern Territory.â
âThat, I already know. The Eastern Territory washed their hands off of this. They didnât want to get involved. It sounds pretty logical. Unless Wang Lao himself ordered them to cause that havoc, he would have probably hidden by now as well.
âI want to know if there are people from the Eastern Territory who are looking after these three? After all, that puppet we barely subdued wasnât even budged with a barrage of consecutive attacks from everyone.
âIf that puppet was so strong, then the puppeteer himself should be strong, or the master of that puppeteer was very very strong.â
âYes, Deputy City Palace Lord. Iâm afraid that this is a bit complicated. When you asked for an explanation from Wang Lao of their identities, did he not tell you of their identities, Deputy City Palace Lord?â
Xia Jieke showed a frown on his face. âWhat do you mean?â
âDeputy City Palace Lord, we just recently found out that the two little kids are actually disciples of a famous person who participated during the annual event a few days ago. In fact, Deputy City Palace Lord treats him as a friend,â a black-clothed man responded, still with his head bowed toward Xia Jieke.
Narrowing his eyes, Xia Jieke pretty much had someone in his mind already. âItâs him? Cao Nima?â
âYes, Deputy City Palace Lord.â
Sighing, Xia Jieke patted his forehead. âThis is going to be troublesome. Moreover, the matter wasnât initially big according to the peopleâs testimonies, but it just erupted when that young miss from the Sheng Family made a big deal of such a simple mistake. What do you think should I do? Both parties are probably equal in strength.â
âWhat?â The eyes of the black-clothed man widened. âDeputy City Palace Lord, do you meanâ¦â
âYes, thereâs probably going to be a war. And itâs not just a simple one. I am just afraid a huge force such as the Sheng Family would be eliminated. I have the feeling that Cao Nima is even stronger than me. Considering that I could probably eradicate the entire Sheng Family in one night, Cao Nima could definitely do the same.â
After taking some things into consideration, Xia Jieke ordered to halt the operation of finding the group of three. As for the puppet, he couldnât risk himself fighting against it once more.
It was simply something he could not destroy.
Now, what he needed to do was talk to his father.
