15 in 1
"I am the fourth disciple of Chen Zhufeng from Bei Xuan Faction, Huo Yuanba!"
The first one was a nearly two meters tall man, like an iron tower, holding a white jade box.
The white serpent had come from that box. It was a White Jade Dragon Box which was gifted by Chen Xiaobei.
"We are Chen Zhufeng's most loyal hounds, Zhuang Bihuang and Su Dongruo!"
The two others were elderly men whom, from their clothes and manner, one could tell that they were no ordinary men.
But they had just introduced themselves as dogs! Loyal hounds of Chen Zhufeng!
"Mount Hua Faction's Grand Elder, Zhuang Bihuang! Green Town Faction Grand Elder, Su Dongruo! Why… Why would you willingly become someone else's dog?"
The skeletal man was the leader of the mission. Not only was he fluent in Mandarin, he was also very well-informed with the Jianghu in China.
That was precisely why the skeletal man was so shaken by what they had just told him.
What was so great about Chen Zhufeng? How did he convince two ancient factions' Grand Elders to become his loyal hounds?!
That was just unbelievable!
"It's not for you to know! Die, you idiot!"
Su Dongruo's hand lit up with Fire True Kang, like a combat saber. And he was filled with battle intent.
"At least tell me who Chen Zhufeng is! We're not even enemies! Why do you want to kill me?"
The skeletal man bared his teeth in anger.
"I supposed there's no harm telling you! Chen Zhufeng's surname is Chen and his name is Xiaobei! Now that you've known that, you can die!"
Su Dongruo roared and swung the fire combat saber in his hand at the skeletal man's neck.
"Chen… Chen Xiaobei?"
The skeletal man looked like he had just been struck by lightning.
"You are all Chen Xiaobei's men? How could it be? Isn't this Shallow Grass Mountain? How did Chen XIaobei set up all this? This is impossible!"
"You talk too much! Now die!"
Su Dongruo could not be bothered to answer him as he raised the sword in his hand again and swung it at the skeletal man again.
"It's not enough to want to kill me!"
The skeletal man did not look the least bit worried but let out a loud war cry that shook the forest ground.
Something weird happened next!
Rip… Riiiiiiiiiiip…
The skeletal man's skinny form was growing and large muscles with edges that looked like rocks popped out all over his bodies.
All the bodybuilders would bury their head in shame!
What's more incredible was that he also grew taller. In a blink of an eyes, he was standing at two-and-a-half meters tall and his skin turned blue like the alien giants from Avatar.
He made the towering Huo Yuanba look skinny and small.
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Buhuang now looked like two primary school students standing next to a basketball player.
The skeletal man opened his arms and legs, and burst the white serpent's image, breaking free of its grip!
"What… the hell…"
Su Dongruo was already standing in front of the skeletal man. His brain and heart was racing.
He was just about to finish off the skeletal man. He had the upper hand!
No one expected him to suddenly sprout into a frighteningly strong and fast giant blue monster!
Swoosh!
The blue giant swung his behemoth fist at Su Dongruo, like a missile, and slammed into his stomach in perfect angle and sent him flying ten meters away like a cannonball. Clearly, his speed was definitely faster than Su Dongruo.
Su Dongruo landed with a loud thud. Luckily, Su Dongruo was saved by his True Kang Armor. Even so, that punch had completely crushed the old man's energy. There was no way he could continue to contend with this scary blue giant of a man.
"What… the hell… Could Sifu's intel be wrong?" Huo Yuanba stared, open mouthed.
"Intel? What intel did Chen Xiaobei give you?"
The blue giant turned around, eyeing Huo Yuanba.
This guy had been talking so much. Since the white serpent constricted around him, he had been talking non-stop, churning out questions.
He was obviously dominating the fight but he was in no hurry to attack. He simply kept asking questions.
He understood the need to know his enemies.
He had already discovered a number of information such as Chen Xiaobei was Chen Zhufeng, and there were a lot of ambush set by Chen Xiaobei's disciples.
These clues confirmed that Chen Xiaobei was there in the forest.
The blue giant wanted to know more in order to help him get closer to the truth.
But Huo Yuanba was aware of what he was after so he replied, "Sifu said that you are ordinary human with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation! But how could turn into this? And your combat power increased to 75,000! That's way more than the Pinnacle phase of True Kang! What happened?"
Both Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuan were all ears.
Chen Xiaobei had informed Jiang Ziya that this enemy was just at the Pinnacle Phase of True Kang. They even thought that they were like elephants sent out to kill a fly. But right now, they were the vulnerable ones. They were no match for this blue giant!
They all wanted to know the reason behind this.
"Heh, who knew, Chen Xiaobei could see through my cultivation before I turn!" The blue giants said proudly, "Well, since you're already at my mercy, I'll just tell you! I am the result of America's number one prodigy and scientist, Professor Hou Sailei's, latest experiment. A biochemical mutant! Before I volunteered for the experiment, my cultivation was only at Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana with 50,000 combat power! But after Professor Hou Sailei injected a radioactive serum, I was able to transform into a giant titan with 75,000 combat power! Science will change the world! The professor is continuing to expand his research and soon, the United States of America will have a division of biochemically enhanced super soldiers with an average of 100,000 combat power or higher! Tremble, you weak little mouse! Soon, the Americans will rule the whole world! Hahaha…"
A genetically modified human was very different from a mutant. For mutants, they were born with a genetic mutation. They were a kind of entity between human and beast. It was not necessary for them to wield any True Kang to use their Special Ability.
As for genetically modified humans, they were born human. However, through technology, they modified their bodies to be able to do something that other human could not do. Ultimately, they had to rely on a serum to activate their Special Ability.
That was why Chen Xiaobei's Netherspirit Battlescouter could only see the original strength of the Genetic Modified Human but not the strength that he had after injecting himself with serum. Due to this mistake in intel, Huo Yuanba and the rest of the people were left in a desperate situation.
They wanted to flee from this place but their speed was not as fast as the blue giant. Even if they wanted to go against him, they were not powerful enough to defeat him. The moment the Blue Giant let out a roar, more enemies approached them.
"Master Huo! We should retreat first! Let the two of us hold them off! This can ensure you to leave this place safely!"
Immediately, Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang channeled their True Qi and readied to activate their Celestial Events. After all, the blue giant's combat power was only 5,000 higher than them. Logically speaking, if the two of them worked together; they should be able to buy Huo Yuanba some time.
"No way! My Sifu has treated me really well. This is my chance to pay him back! I will be so embarrassed if I can't complete the mission!" said Huo Yuanba disgruntledly.
A real man would rather fight till death than flee the battle scene. Besides, two Celestial-cultivated elites would have died in vain if he left without them.
"Stop being so childish! It's not your choice now! There's no way that you can leave this battlefield!"
Right at that moment, three old men with white beards charged at them at lightning speed. Judging from their movement speed, one could see that the three of them were elites with early phase Celestial cultivation. The three of them were none other than the Grand Elders of the Divine Sovereign Sect.
"Hahaha! Just in time! I have known that you three are Chen Xiaobei's allies! The younger one is Chen Xiaobei's closest disciple! I believe that Chen Xiaobei will show up to save them if we take them as hostages!" said the Blue Giant with a grin on his face.
"Great! By doing that, we will be able to complete the mission and be rewarded! Hahaha…"
All three Grand Elders of the Divine Sovereign Sect laughed out loud while talking to them.
"I would rather kill myself than letting you guys take me as a hostage to threaten Chen Xioabei!"
Clearly, Huo Yuanba was the true man he was absolutely loyal to Chen Xiaobei.
"We would rather die too!"
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang voiced out their thought at the same time as well.
The reason the two of them chose to stay absolutely loyal to Chen Xiaobei was because of the Heavenly Dog Biscuits. To them, Chen Xiaobei was like a god that they must worship. That was why they were more than willing to die than bringing potential harm to Chen Xiaobei.
"This person, Chen Xiaobei… Is not as simple as we thought he is… He is only in his twenties. I can't believe that there were so many people willing to die for him! I think he will become a legend if he has more time to open up his path!" said the blue giant
"You are right! This kid is not as simple as we thought he is! Unfortunately, this is where he is going to stop his journey here! From today onwards, the person called Chen Xiaobei will not become a legend in our Jianghu! He will turn into our prisoner instead! Hahaha…" said one of the Grand Elder.
"There's no way that you can capture my Sifu as a prisoner! My Sifu has a dragon hidden within him! Once he unleashes the dragon, all of you will turn into a pile of dead meat!"
"Hahahaha… Are you trying to make me laugh? Chen Xiaobei is just a piece of shit with True Nirvana cultivation! And you are telling me that he has a dragon hidden within him? To me, he is worse than an eel!" said the blue giant.
"You are right! Chen Xiaobei is a little cowardly eel! He doesn't even dare to show his face here! And you dare to say that we will turn into a pile of dead meat? Please, stop acting tough in front of us!" said the Grand Elder.
"Do not insult my Sifu!"
Initially, Huo Yuanba was ready to kill himself. Now, he was filled with battle intent like a bull—prepared to attack the blue giant.
"Master Huo! No!"
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang were both taken aback. They knew that Huo Yuanba's cultivation was only at early phase of True Nirvana cultivation, there was no way that he could take a hit from the blue giant. Attacking him was no different from committing suicide.
"Haha! This kid must be insane! How dare you attack me?! Weakling!" said the blue giant with a grin on his face.
Seemingly, he did not see Huo Yuanba as a worthy opponent.
"Haha… So, this is Chen Xiaobei's disciple? There must be something wrong with his brain!"
"Of course there is something with his brain! Why would he calls Chen Xiaobei his Sifu if he is not dumb?!"
"Judging from his speed, I think his combat power should be around 33,000 combat power! He will be defeated by the blue giant really soon! He's like a clown that comes here to entertain us!"
All three Grand Elders mocked at Huo Yuanba at the same time.
"Who says that the weaker one must flee from the more powerful one? I, Huo Yuanba would rather die to defend my Sifu's name! There's no cowardice in Bei Xuan Faction!"
Huo Yuanba knew that there was no way that he could defeat the blue giant. The reason why he chose to face the enemy was because he knew that his sifu's and faction's reputation were more important than his own life. He would not even mind sacrificing his life to do so.
"Master Huo!!!"
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang were normally a couple of calm old men. Right now, their killing intent was triggered after they saw how Huo Yuanba acted in front of an enemy that was more powerful than him.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two of them charged at the enemies after Huo Yuanba took the lead. The moment the enemies stepped on their limit, true men like them would always take out the courage to protect themselves.
"Those that go against Bei Xuan Faction must die!"
Huo Yuanba charged at the blue giant like an arrow while roaring. It was so loud that the ground trembled before him!
"Such a powerful presence!"
Even the blue giant was taken aback by Huo Yuanba's powerful presence.
"This kid is immensely powerful! I'm pretty sure that he will become someone extremely powerful in the Jianghu in the future! Why would he call Chen Xiaobei his Sifu? This is truly unbelievable!"
All three Grand Elders were shocked to see Huo Yuanba act in such a heroic manner.
"You are such a talented young man! Unfortunately, you are with the wrong sifu! I will definitely bring you in and train you better if you are not Chen Xiaobei's disciple! Now, please go and die!" said the blue giant while swinging his fist.
"Die!"
The blue giant roared and swung its 75,000-combat-powered fist toward Huo Yuanba's head.
"That kid really is quite talented but unfortunately, he's dumb. He's still charging forward even though he's heading for death! What a waste!
"Their strengths are not half a star different! That punch is enough to blow up that kid's head!"
"Yeah! Blow up like a watermelon! Splash! Blood everywhere!"
The three Tenshou Elders watched on the side as if it was a show, pointing and jeering.
"Loyalty is paramount! So what if I die?!"
Huo Yuanba was ready to die. He raised his own fist and aimed for the enemies' enormous fist.
In the face of death, a real man will remain redoubtable!
Whoosh!
Just as the two fists were about to collide, a fierce Water Celestial Event poured down swiftly and wrapped itself around Huo Yuanba's fist.
"Huh? What is that?"
The blue giant realized that something was off but he was not able to react at the spur of the moment.
Bam!
Crack crack crack…
Spurt spurt spurt…
A loud explosion was followed by a series of bone fracturing noises and then blood spraying.
"Wh… What…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This was not the ending they pictured in their mind.
Every single person present had thought that Huo Yuanba's head would explode!
But it was the blue giant's mammoth fist that exploded when it came into contact with Huo Yuanba's fist!
That's right!
The giant's fist shattered! All five of his fingers split into two halves, falling onto the ground like broken crayons. His palm erupted into a gooey mess of blood, bones, and meat.
What was even more insane was that Huo Yuanba's fist was completely unharmed, and he continued to pound ferociously!
In a matter of second, the blue giant's waist-thick arm was smashed into smithereens like tofu!
That was right! Smashed! Flesh blown up and bones shattered!
The giant's perfectly fine arm hung on his side, completely useless!
Bam!
After another loud exploding sound, Huo Yuanba finally stopped.
His fist had penetrated deep into the blue giant's thick-as-wall chest!
There were large indents in the giant's pectoral muscles and the rocklike cage blew up into tiny pieces.
"What… How… Argh…"
The blue giant vomited purplish blood, fear haunting his eyes.
"Your combat power was 110,000… You pretended to be weak… You… Blargh…"
"What?! 110,000 combat power? My god… That is scary… And he's Chen Xiaobei's disciple? How unbelievable…"
"Phantom Rain's combat power is also 110,000. Could Chen Xiaobei be a demigod like the Tenshou God?"
"My god! What kind of sick joke is this? Chen Xiaobei is a demigod? This is crazy…"
The there Tenshou Elders gawped, mortified.
"Since when did Master Huo have such strength? Am I hallucinating…"
Both Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuan scratched their heads.
They have never heard of Huo Yuanba having 110,000 combat power.
They were completely devastated, expecting him to die in their enemies' hand.
Why then did he not just kill all their enemies? Why did he have to put on a show?
"Actually, I would also like to know… what happened… But now is not the time!"
Even Huo Yuanba himself did not know how his fist would suddenly become so strong.
But he did not dwell on it. He knew that he must eliminate his enemies first!
Praaaack!
Huo Yuanba retracted his arm and pulled out the blue giant's heart out!
He tossed the heart aside and used knifehand strike to chop the blue giant.
Phissh…
Blood was everywhere.
The giant's head fell to the ground. Then his gargantuan body started to shrink like a punctured balloon and returned to its original skeletal form.
"You're up next!"
Huo Yuanba looked menacingly at the three Tenshou Elders.
"My god…"
The three old men started to scream, trembling like a leaf.
They knew in their hearts that death was already at their doorstep. Huo Yuanba would never let them off.
There was no way they could go up against Huo Yuanba's 110,000 combat power.
They could not beg or fight!
If they wanted to keep their lives, they would have to think of a way out and quick!
"Take hostages! Those two old men only have 70,000 combat power! We'll live if we take them as hostages!"
The three Tenshou elders eyed Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang.
Their strengths were similar to the Tenshou Enigmatic Ninjas, falling between 70,000 and 90,000. It would be no problem at all for them to take hold of Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang.
That was their only way out.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Tenshou elder immediately channeled their True Qi to pinnacle state and acted upon it.
They had to get their hands on some hostages or they would die!
"Crap! I can only attack one person at a time. What about the other two?"
Huo Yuanba was suddenly nervous.
That's because the Water Celestial Element was not his. He could not summon it as he pleased.
At the same time, he could only attack one person at a time.
The other two left were still stronger than Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bifan.
"Argh! Whatever! Now is not the time to dilly dally! Old Su! Old Zhuang! Hang in there! I'll kill one of them first before I come for you!"
Huo Yuanba hurried toward the strongest enemy and swung his arm with his absolute speed and strength!
Huo Yuanba's hand made contact and the 85,000 combat power Tenshou Elder's head fell to the ground.
"Shit!"
The other 2 elders were only a few steps away from Zhuang Bihuang and Su Dongruo.
However, Huo Yuanba was too far away to help them!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two Tenshou Elders exerted all their strength.
One had 75,000 combat power and wielded Celestial Earth. The ground bulged with conical thorns, glowing brownish yellow, trailing toward Su Dongruo.
The other had 80,000 combat power and wielded Celestial Wood. The trees all around bent and intertwined into a gigantic wooden whip in his hands, which he lashed toward Zhuang Bihuang.
"Crap… There's no way we can fight back, we are not strong enough… They'll get to us for sure…"
Both Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang exclaimed.
They only had 70,000 combat power.
The battle intent that they had earlier vanished, and they were shaking like leaves.
Once captured, they would be used as hostages to threaten Huo Yuanban and maybe even Chen Xiaobei.
"Don't give up! Weren't you both very courageous just now? What are you afraid of? Fight back! I'm coming!"
Huo Yuanba gritted his teeth and encouraged them at the same time as he ran toward them.
"That's right! We are not afraid! So, what if we risk our lives now? We'd rather die than be taken as hostages!"
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang were blazing with courage to fight again.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Zhuang Bihuang wielded Celestial Earth. The soil before him piled up and formed a wall of shield to block the Celestial Earth wielding Tenshou Elder.
Boom!
Su Dongruo's body lit up with Fire Celestial Event. And a pair of fiery claws reached out toward the Wood Celestial Event wielding Tenshou elder.
"Oh please, stop dreaming! How are you going to counter our attacks when your combat powers are so much lower than ours? Be good and surrender!"
Both Tenshou elders were confident that they would win this fight since they were stronger. They were hoping to defeat Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang with only a single hit.
"Beg us if you don't want to die!"
The enemy's attacks were already right in front of them.
But instead of crouching in fear, both Zhuang Bihuang and Su Dongruo stood their ground.
There was not an ounce of fear in them, like nothing on earth could possibly scare them.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Just then something strange that happened on Huo Yuanba earlier happened on them as well.
Celestial Fire was suddenly added to Zhuang Bihuang. Because fire breeds soil, Zhuang Bihuang's dirt wall suddenly mounted.
At the same time, Celestial Wood was added to Su Dongruo, and because wood breeds fire, Su Dongruo's fiery claws also mushroomed.
"What…"
The Tenshou Elders' eyes widened.
Just like how it happened with the blue giant, it was too late for them to do anything about it.
Boom!
The gigantic soil spikes hit the soil wall and were shattered.
"How… Zhuang Bihuang wields Celestial Earth, how did he suddenly have the addition Celestial Fire? And that impact was as strong as 93,000… That's not logical…"
The first Tenshou elder gawped.
He could not figure out what was happening, and he was not in the mood to think about it anyway.
Because right after Zhuang Bihuang's wall destroyed his spikes, it rose from the earth and was diving head on towards the Tenshou Elder.
"My god…"
The Tenshou Elder turned as white as paper, he felt like he was on the verge of having a heart attack.
A second ago, he was more than positive that he was superior to Zhuang Bihuang in both speed and strength. But right now, he was about to be crushed!
The Tenshou Elder froze. It was like he went from heaven to hell, completely consumed by terror, overwhelmed with devastation.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The soil wall came down on the Tenshou like an elephant stepping on an ant, and crushed the old man.
"Blargh…"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Blood was pouring from the Tenshou Elder' mouth, his True Kang Armor and health were not enough to withstand a 93,000 combat-power force.
Once his True Kang Armour was worn out, all the bones in his body, from head to toe, were completely crushed.
He was perfectly fine a second ago, but now he has become a meat patty. Dead as a doornail.
Boom!
On the other side, Su Dongruo, who was supplemented with Celestial Wood, was suddenly armed with 90,000 combat power.
With the wood feeding the fire, his own Fire Celestial Event blew the second Tenshou Elder's Celestial Wood out of the water.
Swish!
Swish!
Su Dongruo's waved the fiery claws and tore the Tenshou Elder's Celestial Wood like it was paper.
"Have mercy… Mercy…"
Seeing his colleague being crushed to death and witnessing Su Dongruo's sudden increase in strength, caused the Tenshou Elder to break down.
His knees weakened causing to fall to the ground, on his knees, bowing with his head low at Su Dongruo.
"No!" Su Dongruo replied, his tone uncompromising and indignant.
Earlier, they were forced by the enemies to retaliate even though they were weaker than them. One could definitely imagine the frustration that they had inside their heart. Now, they were armed with enough strength to defeat them. There was simply no way that they would show them any mercy.
Swish!
He gestured and the fiery claw sliced into the Tenshou Elder's neck, beheading him.
"Phew, we made it…"
Su Dongruo let out a sigh of relief, grateful to have escaped death.
"Do you guys know what… happened?"A perplexed Huo Yuanba asked.
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang shook their heads.
They did not understand how they were suddenly supplemented with extra strength and power that helped them overcome these impossible enemies.
It was only when five people walked out from amongst the trees behind them that they understood.
In the center of the group was the elder disciple of Bei Xuan Faction, Feng Qingyang, with Li Xiang and Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja on his left, and Phantom Rain and Kitagana Heiya on his right.
"Sifu informed us about your situation and sent us to help you. We were here early but we were afraid of exposing their identity," Feng Qingyang pointed to Phantom Rain, Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja, and Kitagana Heiya, "So we hid behind the trees. They were the ones who helped you beat your opponent! Luckily, Sifu planted our own people amongst our enemy, or the three of you might have died today!"
Huo Yuanba, Zhuang Bihuang, and Su Dongruo's jaws dropped.
"Sifu really is something! He made a trip overseas and was able to make such powerful friends, and he even placed them amongst our enemies. How incredible!"
HUo Yuanba exclaimed. No one else, other than their Sifu, would even think of something like that.
"Yeah! If master had not made that arrangement, the three of us would be dead!"
Su Dongruo and Zhuang Bihuang exhaled gratefully. They shuddered at the thought of their near-death experience.
"You are right. But you forgot another more important factor. It was not only Chen Xiaobei's arrangement that saved us all," Phantom Rain stood out and said, "It was also because Chen Xiaobei made himself the bait, and lured away the scariest enemy! If he hadn't done that to win us time, none of us, not even with all of us added together, would be able to defeat that enemy!"
Everyone was stunned.
Huo Yuanba asked with a frown etched on his lips, "Sifu did not tell us that there was another stronger enemy! Isn't this whole battle to kill the three mutants and the 3 Celestial-cultivated elite? Why is there suddenly another enemy?"
"Chen Xiaobei kept it from you so that you wouldn't worry. He's readied himself to go up against that enemy!"
The others all gasped.
"Who is this enemy you're talking about? What's his cultivation? Ms. Phantom Rain's combat power is 110,000, couldn't you fight against him?" Feng Qingyang asked worriedly.
Phantom Rain said, "That person is Japan's most powerful elite, at the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation, and his combat power is 130,000. I won't even be able to counter half of his attacks!"
"What?! 130,000? My god! What a dangerous enemy! How will Sifu be able to fight him?"
Feng Qingyang and Huo Yuanba furrowed their brows and gestured in frustration.
As far as they were concerned, Chen Xiaobei's cultivation was only at the early phase of the True Nirvana Cultivation. He only had 30,000 combat power—he was no match for the enemy at all!
This was almost certainly a losing battle.
None of them could figure out how in the world Chen Xiaobei would be able to overcome their enemy.
"Let's go help master!" Zhuang Bihuang urged.
"Help? How are we going to do that?" Li Xiang asked. "With our cultivation, we would only be hindering Xiaobei! There's nothing we can do!"
"So, what now? We can't just sit here and watch our master fight the enemy on his own!" Su Dongruo was on edge. "The enemy is a 130,000 combat-power elite! Master's life is in danger!"
Phantom Rain replied stiffly, "You're right. The enemy is a powerful elite. We'll only be getting ourselves killed if we get involved! Chen Xiaobei is the only one who could make the unexpected happen! He's the most special man I've ever met! No, to be precise, he's not human! He's a logic-defying demon! He's also an ungovernable anomaly! We can only watch from the sidelines and we have to watch from the sidelines! The best and only thing we can do is to not cause him any trouble!" Being level-headed, she had the most accurate acumen in the group.
She was the one, other than Chen Xiaobei, who understood best that none of them would be able to survive a fight against the Emperor God.
Although she too had no idea how Chen Xiaobei was going to do that, she placed all of her hope on Chen Xiaobei.
Right now, as the person with the highest combat power, her words carried the most weight.
While everyone was worried about Chen Xiaobei, they all quieted down, waiting for the battle that would blow their minds.
...
About ten kilometers away.
Chen Xiaobei alternated between leaving trails, and camouflaging himself with the Nightstalker Outfit and successfully completed a textbook baiting.
He had the Emperor God on a leash and had circled the forest and lured the Emperor God far away from Bei Xuan Faction.
Then Chen Xiaobei received a text on his phone.
Jiang Ziya: Xiaobei! All of the threats have been eliminated. Everyone is back in the faction. Not one less! How are things over…
Chen Xiaobei: Now that you are all safe back there, I can begin the fight.
Jiang Ziya: Is there any other way to go around this? The enemy is not just a regular joe. I'm afraid that you'll die!"
Chen Xiaobei: There is a way or I wouldn't have taken such great pains to lure him back to China! No one can know about his death! If he escapes, or if the U.S.A's federal bureau finds out, all the hard work I've put in in Japan would be wasted! All my plans will be destroyed! It would be an immense loss!
Jiang Ziya: What are the chances of you winning?
Chen Xiaobei: Only 30%… but don't try to talk me out of it! There's nothing that would have 100% chance of being completely successful! When we fight, we have to fight to the death! I don't want to miss this opportunity and regret it my entire life.
Jiang Ziya: I understand. Please take care.
Chen XIaobei: Get Six Ear Macaque to get ready when the sky turns red!
Jiang Ziya: Understood!
With his phone put aside, Chen Xiaobei took in a deep breath to calm himself down.
He would need to cease using the camouflage of the Nightstalker Outfit.
It was now the calm before the storm.
The battle was extremely consequential.
First, Chen Xiaoebei had promised Li Xiang that he would get the ninth Orochi's Scale, which was in the Emperor God's possession.
In order to do that, the Emperor God had to die.
Second, Zar had come to Japan with the sole purpose of catching Chen Xiaobei via the Emperor God. This threat to Chen Xiaobei's safety needs to be eliminated or Chen Xiaobei's future plans would be affected. Again, that meant that he had to kill the Emperor God.
Third, No.8 Luban's energy was limited. Once its Special Ability wears out, the Tenshou would find out that their Holy Lady was a fake and would withdraw their agreement with Nikkawa Uchu.
Chen Xiaobei would not have peace unless he killed the Emperor God.
These were the reasons why the Emperor God had to be killed.
Chen Xiaobei had hoped that there was another way to go about this but he could not think of anything else.
The chance to unlock Emperor Qin's tomb!
The threat to the safety of his life!
The opportunity to travel to the Earth God Realm!
The Emperor God posed a possible threat to all these!
He had to make sure to eliminate the threat before the problem arose.
When all is said and done, the Emperor God had to die!
Swoosh!
Chen Xiaobei removed the Nightstalker Outfit, and revealed his body. He sucked in a deep breath and then shouted, "Hey moron! You don't have to go around in circles anymore. I, Chen Zhufeng, am here!"
"Huh?"
A few hundred meters away, the Emperor God stomped the ground, ferociously hurtling toward the voice.
"Chen Xiaobei! Where did you get the nerve to show yourself?"
In a blink of an eye, the Emperor God was already standing before Chen Xiaobei. His red chang pao flapping in the air, exuding a powerful aura.
"Did you think I was afraid to show myself?" Chen Xiaobei said. "I was just worried that there will be pests harassing my faction when I'm fighting you."
"Pests? Your faction? What the f*ck are you mumbling about?"
Chen Xiaobei's intention was to lure only the Emperor God to China and then kill him without alerting anyone but the Tenshou Elders and S.H.I.E.L.D agents tagged along.
The chances of winning were low to begin with. If during his fight with the Emperor God, something happens to his faction, the result would be unthinkable. Chen Xiaobei had to draw the Emperor God away, far away from Bei Xuan Faction so that he could buy his people time to get rid of the pests!
Then Chen Xiaobei could finally unleash all his strength to fight with him!
"Chen Xiaobei, stop talking already. You know very well why I'm after you! I will not let you run away this time!"
"I still have no idea why, actually. There's no history of animosity between us. Why are you after me?"
"Heh, why are you still trying to play dumb? Well, first, there's a lot of mystery about you. My sifu Tenshou God sent out an order to have you captured alive! Second, Professor Lim is researching a special technology and the Americans want you! So as long as you come surrender like a good dog and come with me, reveal your secrets to my sifu and then help the Americans discover a breakthrough, I will personally guarantee that you don't ever have to fear for your life! Furthermore, if you manage to convince your father to become a PR in US, both of you father and son will receive unlimited wealth in your future life! Even you future children will be proud of you!"
The Emperor God smiled, as if he was giving Chen Xiaobei the offer of a lifetime.
"I don't deny that I do have a lot of secrets, which I will share with you later!" Chen Xiaobei replied calmly, "But I don't agree with your second point! What riches, what generational fortune? If I agree to your deal, then I would be committing one of world's worst treasons!"
"Don't say it like it's a bad thing! Use that phrase in Chinese, a fine bird chooses a tree to nestle in! I won't try to reason with you but let me just give you an example, America's most successful prodigy scientist is a Chinese! His name is Hou Sailei! Professor Hou is a very intelligent man! In the fields of science, he outclasses Professor Lim! He foresaw America's longstanding rule over the world and decided to move to America ten years ago. Now, he is one of America's most powerful man; even the president has to respect him!"
The Emperor God's was still smiling exultantly, as if his 'persuasive' advice should move Chen Xiaobei's heart.
After all, it would benefit Chen Xiaobei greatly if he agreed to it; and if he refused it, he would be consigned to eternal doom!
"That's basically asking me to betray my country! An offer to become a renegade! And you speak of it as if it's some kind of honorable deed! How ignoble!"
"Oh, it looks like you still insist on doing things your own way!"
The Emperor God's smile faded. He shot Chen Xiaobei a deadly glared and threatened, "If you refuse to accept my advice, then don't blame me for being hostile! I will get you alive and I won't harm you. But if you still refuse to cooperate after, I believe the Americans will have all kinds of torments in store for you. Don't forget that they've already done their homework on you. Your faction, your friends, your girlfriends, your adopted parents, and even your cat and dog, will all be detained and tortured, one by one, to death, until Professor Lim concedes and surrenders his research! But at the end on the day, due to your defiance, even if the research is successful, the both of you, father and son will still be snuffed out! This is a brutal way to go. But I, being compassionate, do not want to see that happen. So I'll give one more chance to reconsider it."
At the mention of hurting his friends and family, the people that he loved so much, Chen Xiaobei's expression darkened.
When the Chen Village Chief broke Chen Zhongfu's leg, his entire family was annihilated.
Then when Umekawa Zhizhang sent assassins in 3 different occasions to murder his family in their Mansion in Green Vine Town, the entire Umekawa family, along with the assassins, were terminated.
Another time in Paradise Island, when Damien led a group of Silver-Winged Myrmidons and American battleships to war and endangered the lives of Chen Xiaobei's friends and family, the whole fleet of battleships were destroyed and the souls of the Silver-Winged Myrmidons were devoured. As for Damien, his heart was ripped out with Chen Xiaobei's bare hands!
It was a verity that if any member of his family and friends were in any way harmed or threatened to be harmed, Chen Xiaobei would not spare his enemies!
Shinng!
A black saber appeared in Chen Xiaobei's left hand and a blood-red sword in his right. The powerful aura exuded from both swords were slowly consuming the atmosphere. That was how Chen Xiaobei felt right now as well. The battle intent that he had to defeat the Emperor God was beyond one's imagination.
He would not rest until the enemy before him stopped breathing!
"You are so stubborn! Come on then! I'll let you start with 100 attacks! Then, you'll understand the difference between a real elite and a wannabe! The difference between the stars and dust!"
"Stars? Are you talking about you? Even if you are a star, I will turn you into the dust of the universe!"
Shinng!
Chen Xiaobei raised the saber and the sword, and used the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Technique, so that it reached 90,000 combat power, and then charged toward the Emperor God at lightning speed.
At the same time, the black sword's and red sword's Sword Qi grew and left two dragon afterimages in the sky!
The battle had begun!
"Hmph! You are so damn arrogant! Do you really think that you can defeat me?!" said Emperor God in a displeased manner.
He did not see Chen Xiaobei as a worthy opponent. All he needed to do was used his status and powerful presence to make him yield to him. To his surprise, Chen Xiaobei that was in his twenties launched an attack on him. That was why the Emperor God felt that his authority was being challenged by someone that was weaker than him—like an ant challenging the almighty lion.
"But, I'm actually glad that you attacked me! It's time for you to know that I'm way more powerful than you! I will make you give up on attacking me! You can use your hands and legs to attack me! I will just stand there without putting on my True Kang Armor! Just do all you can to hurt me! As long as you hurt me a little, you can walk away victoriously!"
Swoosh!
Without saying anything, Chen Xiaobei swung his sword at Emperor God with all his might. At that moment, the power of Celestial Water was added to the Dragon's Edge. Earlier, Phantom Rain had already told Chen Xiaobei that Emperor God possessed Fire Element True Kang. Using water to fight with fire could land Chen Xiaobei a bigger advantage.
Swoosh!
The might of Dragon's Edge seemed to be powerful enough to shatter the entire dimension.
"Garbage!"
Putting on a 'I-don't-care' look on his face, Emperor God crossed his arms and stood on the ground. He clearly had no intention to dodge the attack.
Zinng!
The moment the Dragon's Edge landed on Emperor God, he was sliced in half. However, he did not feel happy about it at all because he knew that that was just an illusion. Emperor God was after all the most powerful ninja in Japan. It was only normal that he had mastered all kinds of ninjutsu. He was definitely way more powerful than Phantom Rain. That was why Chen Xiaobei did not use the Deity Constricting Rope to bind him as it would be a waste of resources.
"You useless piece of shit! I'm here!"
Just as expected, Emperor God's voice could be heard from behind.
Swoosh!
Chen Xiaobei had already known that Emperor God would use his ninjutsu to confuse him. Without saying a word, he swung his sword at Emperor God once again. Still, it was his illusion. An elite with 90,000 combat power fighting with another elite with 130,000 combat power was definitely a tough battle. Logically speaking, there was no way that Chen Xiaobei could defeat Emperor God. Besides, Emperor God could use his ninjutsu to make him become more powerful. It was true that Emperor God could defeat Chen Xiaobei without lifting a finger.
"I dare you not to hide from me!" said Chen Xiaobei in a serious tone while glaring at him.
"This time I won't dodge anymore! There's nothing you can do to defeat me even if I stand there and let you attack me!" said Emperor God with his arms wide open.
"You will definitely regret it later!"
Again, Chen Xioabei swung his sword at Emperor God. This time, he aimed to destroy his Dantian.
"Heh! Garbage is garbage! I thought you are going to come up with something new to attack me! Get lost!"
Immediately, Emperor God blazed with Fire True Qi. Just like what he promised earlier, he did not arm himself with True Kang Armor. All he did was using True Qi to protect himself.
Swoosh!
Still, the burst of his True Qi was extremely terrifying—like an apocalyptic tornado ravaging the area. And the tornado was emitting extreme heat, causing the plants around him to burn to ashes. It was as though his True Qi was going to burn the entire forest down.
"Err…"
Chen Xiaobei's attack was completely dispelled by the fiery tornado. Not only was he forced to take a few steps back, he had to plant his sword in the ground and hang on to it with all his strength to prevent being blown away by the fiery tornado. Just with True Qi, Chen Xiaobei was forced to cancel his attack. If the Emperor God turns his True Qi into True Kang, Chen Xiaobei would definitely be squashed into a pile of dead meat.
"Little shit! Just like what I promised you just now. I'm not going to dodge your attack! Come and attack me with your sword! I dare you! Hehehe!"
Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not powerful enough to attack him, Emperor God started to mock him while laughing sinisterly.
"Don't you worry! I will grant your wish since you ask for it badly!"
Chen Xiaobei then lifted up one of his hand while enduring the heat and wind. In his hand, he was holding his Chaos Blood Sword.
"Hehe… I really don't think that you should act tough in front of me anymore! You are going to suffer later! I'm standing right here! Just attack me however you like! Don't disappoint me!" said Emperor God with a smile on his face.
Swoosh!
A crimson ray shot down from the sky and painted the whole area blood red—turning the whole place into a wasteland.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Emperor God, taken aback.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei shouted and he turned into a beast that was powerful enough to defeat the heat and wind. He then charged at Emperor God with all his might. Seconds later, the Chaos Blood Sword shook and the red and black dragons circling around it. After confirming the target, these two dragons charged at the enemy with no mercy.
The red dragon was born after the Chaos Blood Sword evolved and its ability allowed the user to absorb Blood Essence to become stronger.
As for the black dragon, it was given by Taiyin True Deity. The ability from Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade allowed the user to absorb souls and turned to power.
All the power that Chaos Blood Sword accumulated so far was way more powerful than Chen Xiaobei's true strength. Its attack was at least as powerful as 130,000 combat power!
"Oh my god… That is so terrifying… How is that even possible?"
Emperor God could not help but feel that fear had come knocking at his door. He had never expected that Chen Xiaobei could come up with such a powerful strike. After witnessing the attack, he could feel that the ancient dragon was about to crush him into pieces.
Bam!
Bam!
Seconds later, the two dragons landed on the Emperor God's back. The time was too short for him to dodge it.
Blargghh!
Without True Kang Armor, the 130,000 combat-power attack landed on his Dantian—causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood.
Phissh!
At the same time, Chen Xiaobei charged at him with his sword; ready to kill him.
"Shit!"
With his pale-looking face, Emperor God's pupils contracted. His body started to shake involuntarily due to the feat that he was experiencing right now. To be honest, he had never felt so afraid in his life before. First, he did not channel True Kang Armor to protect himself. That was why the two dragons managed to land such a heavy hit on him.
Second, the red dragon injured his heart and lungs—causing him to have difficulty in breathing! After that, the black dragon landed another heavy hit on his Dantian. Though it was not severe enough to destroy his cultivation, he would not be able to resume fighting for quite some time. Since the True Qi inside his body was messed up, he was left in an extremely weakened state. With that being said, he would not be able to form True Kang or use any ninjutsu.
Being in this vulnerable state, it was only a matter of time before death came knocking at his door.
Swoosh!
Chen Xiaobei had already known that Emperor God would suffer great injuries from the attack that he landed on him. Immediately, he lifted up his sword and charged at the Emperor God without giving him any time to recuperate.
"Since you insisted earlier that I should come up with all my might to kill you! I'm now here to grant your wish!"
With lightning speed, Chen Xiaobei dashed toward the Emperor God with the Chaos Blood Sword in his hand. Under the crimson sky, Chen Xiaobei looked exactly like a Demon Lord that was about to unleash his wrath on his nemesis. For this attack, Chen Xiaobei had given up on a lot of merit points. The purpose of doing that was to empower his Chaos Blood Sword to defeat absurdly powerful enemies like the Emperor God.
"Die now!"
Again, Chen Xiaobei let out a loud roar. In his eyes, the flame of dominance was burning strong—like a king that looked down on his puny enemy.
"This… This is not… Possible…"
The look on the Emperor God's face changed drastically to one of despair.
Phissh!
Seconds later, the Chaos Blood Sword flew to Emperor God and penetrated his chest. It then crushed its ribs and went straight for his heart.
Blarrghh…
The Emperor God coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood and stared at Chen Xiaobei like he just lost his soul.
The leader of the Divine Sovereign Sect!
The direct disciple of Tenshou!
The most powerful elite in Japan!
And he was defeated by a youth that was in his twenties.
Even the Tenshou God would think that this matter was absurd. It was definitely shocking enough to tremble the entire Japan, Tenshou, and even the whole world!
"Chen Xiaobei… You… You are so cruel…" The Emperor God groaned.
He never thought that he would die here and he absolutely did not want to perish from this world as well. Still, he could not stop his blood from gushing out in between his teeth. And his breathing was getting weaker and weaker as well. Considering that his heart was penetrated by the Chaos Blood Sword, there was a high chance that he would pass away really soon.
"I'm cruel? Who's the one that said that he wanted to capture everyone that was related to me and torture them to death?"
"I'm the one that said all that… Still, I will not change my mind… Even though I'm about to die… Do you really think that you will be able to live peacefully after I die?"
Emperor God gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Xiaobei with a vicious look on him.
"You will be killed by Tenshou eventually… As for those that are related to you, once you can no longer protect them… People from Tenshou and America will come and avenge me! Just die… Chen Xiaobei… Accompany me when I travel to hell… We will continue our battle when you go to hell… Hehehe…"
It might sound ridiculous when Emperor God claimed that he could kill Chen Xiaobei right now.
How was he going to kill him when his heart was hurt by the sword?
However, Chen Xiaobei knew better than anyone that the Emperor God was not talking nonsense. Though he was about to die, he was still definitely capable to kill anyone that was below 130,000 combat power.
Phisshh…
Phisshh…
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's body was sealed by a crimson halo—causing him not being able to move. And this crimson halo came right from the Emperor God's heart. The sound of his blood burning could be heard clearly.
"S-tier Ninjutsu! Blood Sacrificing Light!"
Though Chen Xiaobei's body was being sealed by Emperor God's ninjutsu, he could still keep his calm.
"So, this is your last trump care, right? The kind of trump card that could drag enemy to hell with you when you are about to die! You are going to burn your bodies with your blood and kill me at the same time!"
"Eh? How did you know about the Blood Sacrificing Light… This is one of the deepest secrets of Tenshou… Other than the direct disciple of Tenshou… No one else should know about it…"
"Yes… The direct disciple of the Tenshou God, Phantom Rain is the one that told me about it! There's something else I want to tell you! Phantom is the one that lured you here to be killed by me today!"
"What?! Are you trying to say that Phantom Rain has already betrayed Tenshou?!… This…"
"What do you mean betray? In the very beginning, Phantom Rain never wanted to join Tenshou. Bastards like you use some really sickening plot to trick her into joining you guys! Right now, Phantom Rain knows the truth! You are going to pay back everything that you did to her!"
"Pay back? Phantom Rain has turned into your ally… She even told you about the Blood Sacrificing Light… It seems like you are the mastermind behind this well-executed plan!"
"You are right! Not only you, but those that came with you are also dead as well! None of them managed to flee from here!"
After hearing that, the Emperor God was not affected by it at all. It was as if he did not care about the life and death of those people that came along with him.
"Since you know about this ninjutusu… How can you stay so calm… Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Death? I have experienced death multiple times… This is not scary to me at all! Besides, who told you that I will die today?"
"Not going to die? Didn't Phantom Rain told you that once the ritual is complete… Your body will turn to ashes immediately!"
"Of course, she told me about it… She even reminded me not to get close to you after I defeat you!"
"But, not only did you come close to me but you are also sealed by the Blood Sacrificing Light… How can you say that you will not die?" asked Emperor God aggressively.
"I'm not going to explain too much… Open up your eyes and look carefully!"
Buzz…
Suddenly, a silver ray shot down from the sky and shone between Chen Xiaobei and Emperor God. Like a mirror, the Emperor God could see his own image reflecting from the silver ray.
"What… What the hell is this?"
Ripple…
Seconds later, someone that looked exactly like Emperor God walked out of the silver ray.
The Emperor God that walked out of the mirror was the perfect copy of the real Emperor God. Well, except for the pierced heart, the bruises, and the blood-vomiting, they were identical.
"What… Why does he look exactly like me… He's even dressed like me…"
The Emperor God was aghast.
"Oh, I don't just look like you! I even sound like you! In fact, I even have some parts of your memory!"
The duplicate smiled as he reached out a hand toward the real Emperor God's throat and started to squeeze.
"The most important thing is, I even have your cultivation!"
"No… That's impossible… I am Tenshou God's direct disciple, who has trained for ten years in North Chasm Starfield to reach the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation and achieve 130,000 combat power… There's no way a fake like you could have my cultivation!"
"Oh really?"The duplicate smiled and said, "As far as I know, only 130,000 combat power elites can nullify your S-class ninjutsu. So, now I will show you how I'm going to use your strength to nullify your own ninjutsu!"
Swoosh!
Celestial Fire was unleashed and surrounded the real Emperor God. Under the pressure of Celestial Fire all the crimson rays that around Chen Xiaobei was like dust being washed away by rain. It was finally gone!
"No… I don't believe it… This is not real… I won't accept this…"
Emperor God thought that even if he were to die, at least he would be bringing Chen Xiaobei down with him.
But now that the Blood Sacrificing Light had vanished, Chen Xiaobei was no longer in danger and the Emperor God's hope was crushed.
There was a deep resentment and sorrow in the Emperor God's eyes as he spat out the last mouthful of blood and took his final breath.
"Xiaobei! You really are the best! This is the most providential and mystical of ploys! You turned me from the Half Step True Nirvana stage Zhao Ritian to the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation Emperor King! I went from a shotgun to a cannon! This is just awesome!"
The duplicate smiled from ear to ear.
He was obviously, none other, the shapeshifting Six Ear Macaque.
From today onward, Zhao Ritian no longer existed. He had a completely new identity, one that gave Six Ear Macaque a whole new set of strengths and status.
"I'm glad that you're happy."
Chen Xiaoebi smiled as he searched the Emperor God's body while devouring his soul and his blood essence using the Blood Chaos Sword.
Then Chen Xiaobei said half-jokingly, "Do you know that you have just used a good 5,000 Spiritual Stones to get you into this body? Is it worth it?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't it be? Would you be able to train up to the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation if you were given 5,000 Spiritual Stones?" Six Ear Macaque asked him back.
"Of course not." Chen Xiaobei said, "But your cultivation is just a counterfeit—it's a pseudo-cultivation. It's not your own cultivation. If you want to become better, you have to start from the beginning."
Previously, Chen Xiaobei got to know from Six Ear Macaque that even though he was able to use Spiritual Qi to shapeshift and inherit other people's cultivation, pseudo-cultivations could be improved any further. Which meant that even if Chen Xiaobei were to give him a Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, he would not be able to break through to the next level of cultivation.
The only way Six Ear Macaque could train his cultivation, increasing it constantly, and breaking through his cultivation was to cancel the transformation and return to his original form.
"The is only temporary! When the day comes for us to return to the heavenly realm, and find my own body, I will be able to wield the strength that is similar to the Monkey King! What cultivation I yield now doesn't matter!"
"Mm, my sifu has mentioned this before. But it's not going to be easy!"
Chen Xiaoebei sighed before putting away the Blood Chaos Sword.
The Emperor God's cultivation was outstanding, so the quality of his blood essence and soul was far beyond a normal person's. With this new energy, the Blood Chaos Sword could exert at least 100, 000 combat power.
"No, it will! Why wouldn't it be easy? You were chosen by the Prime of Tongtian. It would be unorthodox for you not to go! Please don't give up. Even it takes a little while longer. One day at a time, you will be able to do it!"
"You think too much! No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will never give up! in fact, things are heading in a good direction. Why would I give up?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled as he fumbled around the deceased Emperor God's pockets and found what he had been looking for—the ninth Orochi's Scale!"
It was the final piece that would complete the map of Emperor Qin's tomb.
Once Li Xiang had gathered all the others who had the other pieces of the Orochi's Scales, they could begin to explore the mausoleums of China's Emperor Qin!
These mausoleums were massive treasure troves!
As the emperor who conquered six states, Emperor Qin—he must have a lot of treasures and resources that went beyond one's imagination!
Setting foot inside the underground palace would bring them an abundance of prosperity and benefit!
"This the thing Li Xiang had been searching for, right?" Six Ear Macaque said, "After turning over the entire Japan, we finally found it!"
"Yeah! We found it!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and said excitedly, "Now, we just have to wait for Li Xiang to summon all the others who have the rest of the Orochi's scale. When they put the map together, we'll be able to begin our search for Emperor Qin's treasures!"
"It sounds like a lot of fun! You must bring me with you!"
"Li Xiang said that it would take some time before he could gather all the people. Right now, you have a more important duty! You have to return to Japan with me to keep the Americans under control! I will use No.8 Luban to urge the Tenshou bastard to bring Nikkawa Uchu to that special place!"
"I understand!" Six Ear Macaque nodded. "I have a part of the Emperor God's memory, so that won't be a problem. If you could use Nikkawa Uchu's cover to get to North Chasm Starfield, your cultivation will soar!"
"North Chasm Starfield… How much do you know about that place?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
The Emperor God had mentioned that he had spent 10 years training his butt off in North Chasm Starfield to achieve his current cultivation!
North Chasm Starfield should be that special place Chen Xiaobei was looking for.
"There's information on the Northern Wilderness Starfield in the Emperor God's memory! All he knew is that you need to go through a portal to reach Northern Wilderness Starfield!" Six Ear Macaque said, "He didn't know where the place is exactly…"
Chen Xiaobei took in the information and then asked, "I've always felt that that place is somewhere in the corner of the heavenly realm. What do you think?"
"I don't think so! From what I can see in the Emperor King's memory, Northern Wilderness Starfield produces Spiritual Stones. Earth Vein's Spiritual Qi is ten times of Earth's! If it really is on the Earth God Realm, then the number of Spiritual Stones it can produce is one hundred times more than Earth's! What's more, the Spiritual Medicine in Northern Wilderness Starfield is between 1 to 5 stars! The Earth God Realm's Spiritual Medicines are above 5 stars! And they even have Halfstep Divine Medicine! Based on these differences, I can confidently say that Northern Wilderness Starfield is not in the heavenly realm!"
Chen Xiaobei was a little disappointed but excited by Six Ear Macaque's answer.
"I guess I'm just too impatient. I haven't even learned to walk, and I'm already running! Even if Northern Wilderness Starfield is not in the heavenly realm, the resources there will be very useful to me and can get me one step closer to the heavenly realm! Like you said, one day at a time. Someday, we will set foot in the heavenly realm!"
"That's right!" Six Ear Macaque reassured. "Northern Wilderness Starfield is a whole new territory, a brand new stage. Going there will be great for you!"
"Huh?" Chen Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's exactly what my sifu said! You said that about finding the reincarnated Daji! He said that this girl will help me discover a whole new territory! The sooner I find it, the better for me!"
"Didn't you suspect Phantom Rain to be the reincarnated Daji? Go back and talk to her. She might know more about Northern Wilderness Starfield!"
"I'm guessing that she won't know more than the Emperor God. But I will ask her!" Chen Xiaobei then placed the Emperor God's body into the Infinite Space Ring.
"Phantom Rain is the reason why you didn't feed the Emperor God the Heavenly Dog Biscuit, right?" Six Ear Macaque was quick to catch on and saw through Chen Xiaobei's intention.
The Emperor God was an elite at the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation. If Chen Xiaobei had given him the dog biscuit then the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, so that he could have a cultivation breakthrough Celestial Cultivation and go on to the next level! He would have a loyal hound that had Celestial Cultivation! But from the start, Chen Xiaobei had decided to kill instead of keep the Emperor God alive.
Not even a fool would believe that he did not do it for Phantom Rain.
"Yes, it's because of Phantom Rain, and also the old man Uzuishi Akaihi! The Emperor God is their irreconcilable nemesis! If I had kept him as my dog, how will I ever be able to face the both of them?"
"That's true!" Six Ear Macaque nodded, "Also, there's a chance that Phantom Rain is the reincarnated Daji. She might hold a grudge against you if you did!"
"Mm, let's go back. I need to talk to Phantom Rain and find out if she's the person I've been looking for!"
"But don't you feel a little sad? It was quite a waste to kill such a strong potential dog…"
"Why should I feel sad? There are plenty of elites under the sky. I can easily capture a demigod as my doggie! That is what I called cool!"
"*^%$#@! You're insane, kid! But I like it! Better to have big ambitions while you're young!"
…
Back in Bei Xuan Faction, the heads of the three Tenshou Elders and the three S.H.I.E.L.D agents were placed inside two boxes.
Those who were involved in the battle were all gathered together, brows furrowed and hearts pounding. The atmosphere was somber.
"Old Jiang! Do you think anything will happen to Sifu?" Feng Qingyang asked.
Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "I don't know… The enemy is very strong…"
"Sifu won't die, right? Please don't! He is the person I adore most!"
Wu Aofeng bawled, his face smeared with snot and tears.
"Shut your big mouth, you windbag! You won't die if you don't say anything!"
Tai Yitan glared at him.
The word 'die' added to the already gloomy atmosphere.
Phantom Rain's was ashen-faced, gripping her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her skin.
Gordon and the few other loyal hounds were dying to go over to save Chen Xiaobei, maybe even die in his place.
Even the frosty Xiao Bai furrowed its brows, its little eyes hazy with worry.
"Woof! Woof! Woof…"
Suddenly, the forlorn Sirius rushed into the arena, barking eagerly, wagging its tail vigorously.
"Sifu! Sifu is back!"
It was as if a cloud had been lifted, and everyone one glowing with joy.
"Sifu! You're finally back!" Wu Aofeng was the first to rush over. "I knew it! My master is the strongest, most superlative person in the world! Whatever Emperor God or Holy King is rubbish against my Sifu!"
"Am I really that great?" Chen Xiaobei half-smiled. "Before I arrived, I heard someone said that I was dead."
"Er…" Wu Aofeng's face reddened. "My mistake… I am a blabbermouth. Please forgive my sins, Sifu…"
"You silly!" Chen Xiaobei laughed. "I was just joking! What forgive my sins?"
"Hehe, I know Sifu will not blame me…" Wu Aofeng chuckled delightedly.
The others started laughing too and soon the atmosphere changed.
"Chen Xiaobei!" Phantom Rain made her way to Chen Xiaobei, and then took a good long look at Six Ear Macaque. "Old Jiang told me about your plan. Is this the clone of the Emperor God?"
"Yes!" Chen Xiaobei nodded as the Infinite Space Ring spat out the Emperor God's body. "Your enemy is dead! And I've already used my Spiritual Item to devour his soul. He will never be able to reincarnate!"
Phantom Rain turned her gaze from the body to Chen Xiaobei, staring at him, biting her lip.
"Don't look at me like that…" Chen Xiaobei was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
The look she was giving him was a complicated blend of shock, curiosity, gratefulness, and many more unexplainable emotions.
Phantom Rain was staring at him so openly as if there was no one else besides them. However, this was actually totally normal. She knew that Chen Xiaobei was an extraordinary person, still she could wrap around how this Chinese youth was able to kill the Emperor God! The grand disciple of the Tenshou! Japan's most powerful elite with 130,000 combat power! One at the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation!
Even those who knew Chen Xiaobei could not picture it.
Only Chen Xiaobei knew how long it took him to accumulate that strike unleashed by the Chaos Blood Sword. Only he knew how much merit points he had lost. Only he knew how many time, on the brink of death, he refrained from using the sword.
The way this battle ended might seem like the result of an accident, but it was impossible.
Many a time, investments come up empty, but through perseverance, devotion, and accumulation, one day, change will happen!
Karma was not anything mysterious, but this was the result of hard work!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei would never explain this to his audience. He would share the joy and the fruit of the successes but he would carry the burden and the labor on his own.
"Chen Xiaobei! Thank you! I would like to represent my grandfather and my deceased family members to say thank you!"
Phantom Rain snapped out of her daze and thanked Chen Xiaobei profusely.
The others looked at Chen Xiaobei admiringly.
"Alright! There's no need to be so formal! You are my friend after all. It's my obligation to help my friends!"
Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
"I understand what you're saying!" Phantom Rain looked at with all seriousness and said, "Let's go to your room! You can do whatever you want!"
"Ooh! Sifu is the man! He got himself another one in the harem!" Wu Aofeng teased.
"Harem my ass! I just want to confirm Ms. Phantom Rain's identity!"
"No, I was wrong. There's anoooooooother one in the Harem!" Wu Aofeng chuckled.
The others followed suit, cheering playfully.
"I…"
Chen Xiaobei felt misunderstood. They made something decent sound so carnal.
"Don't just stand there! Let's go!"
Phantom Rain grabbed Chen Xiaobei's wrist and dragged him away from the crowd.
This woman was used to being the head of the Tenshou Division, so she was a little domineering. Back in Shallow Grass Mountain, handholding was child's play.
Chen Xiaobei had no other option—she had initiated it—but to bring her into his room.
"Wooo! Show her what you've got, Sifu!"
"Come! Come! Let's make a bet on how long it will take Sifu to do his 'business'!"
"Sifu has been out for so long, I think it will take him 2—3hours! Hahaha…"
The cheering grew louder and more excited. It made Chen Xiaobei felt that he would disappoint the crowd if he did not do anything naughty to her.
…
In the bedroom.
Bang!
Phantom Rain slammed the door shut and got down to business.
"Come one then. From now on, you can do whatever you want! I will obey everything you say!"
Chen Xiaobei sighed.
"Do you really believe that I want to take advantage of you?"
"Isn't that the case? You've done it a few times before! You even came up with all sorts of excuses. Say you're looking for someone and some birthmark. I used to reject you but now I'm ready to accept you! Come one! I will do whatever you want me to!"
"Er…" Chen Xiaobei's was already perspiring. "Those were not excuses. It's the truth. All you need to do is transfer some True Qi to your chest and show me if there's a birthmark!"
"Are… you serious?"
"Why would I beat around the bush?"
He knew that he had a good-guy face but he could not figure out why girls always saw him as a bad guy.
Phantom Rain blushed. Could she have blamed Chen Xiaobei wrongly?'
"Alright then!"
Phantom Rain loosened the top of her shirt and placed her hand on her snow-white chest and started transferring True Qi.
About 10 seconds later, Chen Xiaobei said, "Okay, you can show me now."
"Er…"
Phantom Rain was a little hesitant.
Could she really have another identity? How could she now know after all these years? Why haven't grandfather mentioned anything?
As she drew her hands away, the answer was clear as day.
"There's nothing! You've seen it for yourself! There's no birthmark!"
Chen Xiaobei took a look. Phantom Rain's chest was very fair. It would be very easy to spot any marks. But there was nothing.
"Oh…" Chen Xiaobei was so sure that she was the reincarnated Daji.
"Could it be that it was not long enough? Or maybe your Qi was too weak… Can you please try again? This time, strengthen your Qi and do it longer!"
"Okay, I'll give it a try…" Phantom Rain nodded.
After half a minute.
"Still nothing! Admit it! It was just an excuse! Everyone knows that men are horny! Why bother denying it?"
"It's really not an excuse…" Chen Xiaobei said in a frustrated manner. "Maybe you need someone else's True Qi. Let me try!"
"Tsk! And you're saying?" Phantom Rain opened up her arms and said, "Come one then. Just be gentle!"
"I…" Chen Xiaoebei's gaze fell on Phantom Rain's exposed breast and felt a burning desire course through him. "If you push me again, I will do it!"
"Are you a virgin? Why are you hesitating? Where's that audacity you had when you killed the Emperor God?"
Phantom Rain really believed that Chen Xiaobei was a virgin.
"Damn it! You are pushing my limit! Let me show you what I have!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled as he pounced on her, pushing her onto the bed.
"I told you to be gentle. I didn't say you could just do one thing and nothing else!"
Phantom Rain laid on the bed, waiting for Chen Xiaobei to make a move.
But Chen Xiaobei simply placed a hand on her chest and then did nothing else.
Swoosh!
She felt a warmth coursing from Chen Xiaobei's palm into her chest.
"You… Really just want to know my identity and nothing else?"
"Can you please not make the world so dirty? There can be purity between a man and a woman. I can't just see a woman and decide to keep her to my collection! In fact, the harem that Wu Aofeng spoke of does not exist! So far, I have only been intimate with 2 women only! How is that even a harem?"
This could not be truer.
Chen Xiaobei might have a lot of female friends, he had only slept with Song Qincheng and Lady Goddess.
As for the other women, he had always maintained a very pure relationship with them. The extent of their intimacy was only holding and hands and kissing.
That was why Chen Xiaobei really did not appreciate being accused of having a harem.
"Alright… I believe you…"
Phantom Rain thought back and realized that she was the one who was prejudice against Chen Xiaobei, assuming that he was just another dirty old man.
"We're almost there…"
After about three minutes, Chen Xiaobei slowly peeled his hand away.
Chen Xiaobei looked very disappointed.
"It looks like I'm not the person you're looking for."
Phantom Rain pulled her clothes back together. There was a hint of lingering disappointment in her beautiful eyes.
She had hoped that she was that important friend Chen XIaobei was looking for.
Sadly, the birthmark that Chen Xiaobei had talked about did not appear.
"That's strange…" Chen Xiaobei sat up and muttered to himself. "Sifu said that the person I was looking for would help me discover a new realm! It was through you that I found out about North Wilderness Starfield! If it's not you then who is it?"
"Who's your Sifu?"
"I can't tell you…" Chen Xiaobei said.
"What? Why? Just because I'm not the person I'm looking for, I can't be your friend?"
"That's not what I meant."
Chen Xiaobei explained, "I can't tell you because my Sifu's identity is formidable! And even if I do tell you, you may not know him or believe me!"
"Oh… It makes sense. No ordinary person could breed a deviant student like you."
"Thank you for understanding."
Chen Xiaobei smiled.
"How did you find out about North Wilderness Starfield? Did the Emperor God tell you about it?"
"Yeah, before he died, he said begrudgingly that this was not the way a person like him who had trained so hard for ten years in North Wilderness Starfield should die."
"I have also trained in the North Wilderness Starfield for ten years. But I was not as unscrupulous as he was, that's why my cultivation is lower than his…"
"In his memory, he went to North Wilderness Starfield through a portal. Do you know anything about that?"
Phantom Rain nodded. "Of course, that is the only way to get to North Wilderness Starfield. Anyone who wants to get there must go through it!"
"Where is it?"
"Have you heard of the Bermuda Triangle?"
"Yes! It's in the Atlantic Ocean! The three corners that form the triangle are the Bermuda Island, the straits of Florida and the Caribbean Islands. It was said that passerby ships will sink and aircrafts will crash mysteriously! That's why is also called the Deadly Bermuda Triangle! There are many theories but none have been proven. Some say its whirlpools, electronic fogs, geomagnetic anomaly, black holes, and even UFOs… The Bermuda Triangle has been recognized as the world's most unexplained anomaly!"
Phantom Rain lit up and said, "Who knew that you actually know so much!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled.
"Back in college, I was penniless but I had a lot of time. During my spare time, I borrowed my flat mate's laptop and looked up a lot of things! I was especially interested in the Bermuda Triangle, that's why!"
"What else do you know about it? Tell me more!"
"I also know that in the triangle is located in the northern border of fault zone between North and South America. It's an active volcanic and seismic activity area. The topography of the ocean floor is very complicated. The center of the triangle is 6000 meters below the sea level of North America's oceanic basin. The part that has higher ground on the northern side is the Bermuda Triangle! At the west side is the continental shelf! South side is the 9,215 Puerto Rico's trench. Mmm… that's all I know."
"That's already pretty good! 9,215 meters below the Puerto Rico's trench, there's a city called Atlantis! The portal to North Wilderness Starfield is there!"
"What?! Underwater city? Atlantis? There is such a place?! My god… this is unbelievable…"
"There's still a lot you don't know! You'll know when you get to North Wilderness Starfield. Earth is just a speck of dust in the universe!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. He actually knew more about the vastness of the universe than she did. However, he did not know much about the detail.
"So, must we go through the Tenshou bastard to get to Atlantis?"
"More accurately, you need to have a demi-god's referral! The Tenshou is just one of the few demigods on earth. He can bring one person to North Wilderness Starfield every three years!"
"What 3 years? One every 3 years? Isn't that just ridiculous?"
Phantom Rain shook her head.
"What? Did you think that North Wilderness Starfield is a place that anyone can just come in and out of? If it were not for the fact that the Tenshou and the elders from North Wilderness Starfield are related, he could only bring one every five years like the other demigods!"
"Wow…"
Chen XIaobei was completely blown away.
"Damn, Northern Wilderness Temple is really damn arrogant! Not only does one needs to be recommended by demigod to enter this place but also have to wait for three to five years for the enrolment!" said Chen Xiaobei, taken aback.
"Why are you so surprised about it? Think about it. If you are the ruler of North Wilderness Starfield, will you allow other people from weaker planets to enter your territory? You should know that there are tens of thousands of planets weaker than North Wilderness Starfield. The resources on it will deplete if they allow all kinds of people to enter their planet freely," explained Phantom Rain.
"You are right about that. It's true that they possess a lot of resources but it's not unlimited. Most of the countries on earth had already begun to pay more attention to recycling waste. Seemingly, we have almost run out of resources on our planet as well!"
"You are absolutely right! If you can mask yourself as Nikkawa Uchu and travel to North Wilderness Starfield; this will be your once in a lifetime golden opportunity!"
"Once in a lifetime golden opportunity? How much Spiritual Stones do you think I can get if I sell this golden opportunity?" asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
"Are you insane?! You will not receive a similar golden opportunity like this if you miss it this time! Do not sell it even if the person offers you a huge amount of Spiritual Stones!"
"It's just a hypothesis!"
"According to what I know, the demigod that the Rothschild Family serves had some conflict with the North Wilderness Starfield. That was why he was banned from entering it anymore. After that, Rothschild Family offer 30,000 Spiritual Stones to purchase a chance to be enrolled in North Wilderness Starfield but no one was willing to do so in the end!"
"Damn! 30,000 Spiritual Stones! And no one was selling it? That's crazy!"
"Why are you so surprised? Think about it! Even if the humans on earth possesses 30,000 Spiritual Stones, they still cannot achieve Celestial Cultivation! Look at me and the Emperor God! We traveled there and we came back with later phase and pinnacle phase Celestial Cultivation! Only a fool will give up a golden opportunity like this!"
"That sounds about right! However, there is still something that I can't understand."
"What is it?"
"Let's say if Tenshou decided that they chose not to recommend you to enroll in North Wilderness Starfield, he could actually earn 30,000 Spiritual Stones! However, you are the one that is going to become more powerful but not him if he doesn't sell this golden opportunity to others! That sounds like bad business to me!"
"He is not losing out! I was always thankful for what he did in my life! I thought that he was willing to not earn those 30,000 Spiritual Stones to make me become more powerful! Ten years after that, when I was about to leave Tenshou, I finally knew the truth! All those that are recommended to be enrolled in North Wilderness Starfield will have to participate in a large scale martial arts competition! Those who outdo themselves will be chosen by the Northern Wilderness and train with them! That's not all! Whoever that recommended the overall winner to join the competition will be rewarded with 100,000 Spiritual Stones! Though I was eliminated in the end, that asshole was still rewarded with 30,000 Spiritual Stones as a consolation prize! In other words, he would not have given up the opportunity of sending me there since he had a chance to win 100,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"No wonder that asshole insisted to take you in as his disciple… Only talented people are powerful enough to help him to get that 100,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"You are right… That day, after my grandpa told me about me the truth, I finally realized that I was being treated as a tool for him to earn more Spiritual Stones! In order to convince me to join the Tenshou, that asshole was willing to kill my entire family!"
"Alright… Relax… Emperor is dead now! As the Chinese saying goes, he who is unjust is doomed to destruction! This is karma for him right now!"
"Okay… Listen to me… The golden opportunity that you are going to receive this time is extremely rare! You must hold on tight to it! Don't let it go! Train hard and improve as much as possible! In the future, you might be powerful enough to fight with the Tenshou God!"
"You are actually right about that! I have promised a friend that I will help her to kill the Tenshou God! Of course, I will have to complete that this task in the distant future! All in all, I will definitely avenge her no matter what!"
"Make sure to work hard to improve your cultivation! Gather more resources for yourself! I believe that you will achieve your goal eventually!"
"Don't worry! I know what to do now! If I can travel to Northern Wilderness this time, I think I will be able to figure out something to bring more people with me next time!"
"Bring more people over there? How is that even possible? You are not even a demigod!"
"Bring a few people with me is just an easy task! If everything goes smooth, I will be able to open a brand new path and collect money from those that want to go there to do some traveling!"
"What? Letting people travel to Northern Wilderness? You are getting more and more ridiculous!"
"I'm getting ridiculous? Have you forgotten that this is my bedroom in Bei Xuan Faction?"
"This… That silver ray! You are going to use that silver ray to bring people to Northern Wilderness!"
"Well, you are actually quite smart!"
"If you can really open a doorway to Northern Wilderness… You are going to earn all the Spiritual Stones that are available on this earth!"
"Pumpkin! You are over thinking right now! That's is not going to happen anytime soon! First, I will need to get there and check out the place. Second, I will need to make sure that the place is safe before I bring my friends my family to travel there!"
"You are right! Northern Wilderness is a gold mine of opportunity! At the same time, it is dangerous! Recalling the ten years that I spent there, it's actually not easy at all! You will need time to get used to the place after you travel there!"
Chen Xiaobei then nodded his head and didn't say much after that.
On the other hand, Phantom Rain went back to the guest to have a good rest. Next morning, everyone traveled back to the Shallow Grass Mountain in Japan through the Returning Bracelet. Now that the Emperor and Emperor God were Chen Xiaobei's allies, he now had everything under his control. Soon, he would be able to travel to the North Star Chasm!
When Chen Xiaobei returned to Japan, it was time to begin the special transaction.
There were three key people in this transaction: The person transferring power, Nikkawa Uchu, Chen Xiaobei's loyal hound; the person receiving the power, Emperor God, who was also Chen Xiaobei's brother Six Ear Macaque; and the bridge of this transaction, the Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Sect, a.k.a No.8 Luban.
This transaction between the Tenshou and Nikkawa Uchu had become Chen Xiaobei's show.
Whatever requests the Tenshou would have, Chen Xiaobei would do. After all, whichever way the power went, it would still be in Chen Xiaobei's hands.
From today onward, most of the issues regarding Japan would be decided by the Tenshou. As for anything that were more critical, they would be decided by Chen Xiaobei!
Nikkawa Uchu had already prepared everything. Arranging every detail within one day.
During dinner time, Tenshou called Nikkawa Uchu.
He was pleased with the arrangement and told Nikkawa Uchu to get ready. He would notify him again when it was time to leave!
…
When Chen Xiaobei was informed, he was in the cave in the mountain east of the Divine Sovereign Sect.
Demonic Fox had been waiting for Chen Xiaobei the whole night.
When she heard that the Emperor God was dead, she was both shaken and excited.
"I have another good news!"
Chen Xiaobei sat on a rock, looking down at the Demonic Fox in his arms and said, "Tenshou has taken the bait. He will bring me to North Wilderness Starfield soon!"
"Wow! It went so smoothly. There really wasn't any hiccups at all?" Demonic Fox blinked and asked.
"What? Why? Isn't that good? Were you hoping that something goes bad?"
Chen Xiaobei tapped the tip of her nose.
"I'm just worried…" The Tenshou is a Boss-tier enemy. Don't you think it's all too easy? Don't you find it strange?"
"I did not meet personally with the Tenshou. Everything was done behind the scenes so, there was no chance of making a false step. Everything went so smoothly!"
"Really? You didn't let anything slip? Come over and take a look!"
Demonic Fox stood up and led Chen Xiaobei by the hand into the cave and pointed in the direction of the Divine Sovereign Sect and said, "Look at that American in the guest room!"
The position of the cave gave them a full view of the Divine Sovereign Sect. In addition, Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox were both elites with visions better than most. So, they were able to see everything happening down there clearly.
At the door of the guest room, the American was talking into the phone.
"I know him! He's the USA's CIA's vice leader, Zar!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled. "I chopped the head off all three of his men! He is the only one left. He's not a threat!"
"No! Zar is not stupid! Last night, when you led the Emperor God away, I was up the whole night watching. Zar was awake too and he had been talking into the phone the whole night!"
"What does that tell us?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"I don't know…" Demonic Fox furrowed her brows. "But I don't think he will just wait around. He must be planning something! Why don't you apprehend him and ask him?"
"No! This is a critical moment. One wrong move and the Tenshou might change his mind and it will affect our plan."
"But I'm really worried… He has not put the phone down since last night!"
"He is an important official. It's normal for him to be busy like that. Don't you worry. If anything happens, we will be able to escape any time!"
"Mmm… Alright…"
Demonic Fox nodded. She knew that Chen Xiaobei would be able to get them out of any sticky situation.
…
Outside the guest room in the Divine Sovereign Sect.
After Zar hung up, he received a text that required unlocking with his fingerprints.
It was just a phone number.
Zar stared at is for quite some time before he dialed the number.
"Hello, who is this?"
The voice of a young man's came from the other end.
"Hi, how are you?" Zar greeted the young man politely. "I am Zar with the C.I.A. There's an emergency. I need to talk to the Tenshou God!"
"Mmm, hang on! I'll go report to him!"
Under normal circumstances, the Tenshou number was not one anyone would simply dial.
Zar must have discovered something monumental enough for him to call.
It was as if the Tenshou knew that and quickly picked up the call. Normally, he would ignore nine out of ten calls.
"Mr. Zar, you're looking for me?"
A familiar and deep voice came to the line. One could imagine how powerful the person was from the way he talked.
"Greeting, Tenshou God. Your servant is here to greet you!"
Zar sounded nervous and even bowed as he spoke. "Our intel reported that there had been a new breakthrough last night!"
"That's your country's business. Why are you telling me this?"
"It has everything to do with you! As we all know, the Emperor God is you direct disciple and the Holy Lady of the Divine Sovereign Sect was chosen with your approval!"
"Holy Lady? Tochigi Hyokitsune! Did she cause you any trouble?"
"Do you remember the Tochigi Family? The one you annihilated 18 years ago? Well, Tochigi Hyokitsune was the little orphan who survived!"
"No way! Tochigi Minamoto only had one daughter and she had just turned five years old when I wrangled her to death with my own bare hands. There was no survivor!"
"I don't know what happened that time but the DNA results are back. If you'd like, I could send it to you right now!"
"There's no need for that! I will send someone to kill her now!" The Tenshou said coldly. "I'd rather we kill a million of the wrong people than let one of them live!"
Zar felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
What grudge did the Tenshou have against the Tochigi Family that he had rather mistakenly kill a million people to wipe them out?!
"If there's nothing else, I need to go make the arrangements!"
"Wait! I'm not done!"
