“CHASE!”

The members of the Echinemon Race hurriedly followed their three junior ancestors. As soon as they flew up, the cave was blasted open and the clouds above dispersed.

Zhao Yi and the others turned to the direction where the three escaped and wafted through the air as each of them produced whistling sounds. Among them, the fastest to catch up was Zhao Xiaoran.

“Shit!” Brownie cussed and even sped up.

However, no matter how much he did so, the other party could almost still outrun them. This was a problem noticed also by Feng Huang.

Condensing a phoenix-like figure with her little hands, a phoenix’s figure appeared. Although illusionary, its vibrant tangerine color and some yellowish spots still stood out. Some of its loose feathers fell from the sky and faded midair.

It was such a sight to behold. Even Zhao Xiaoran was a bit dazzled.

But this wasn’t the right time for any astonishment. Capturing these three people was still his utmost priority. From what he knew, these three already killed several of their race’s elders..

Detestable!

As instructed, the patriarch wanted to capture these people first. Since the three could fight saints, they would be barely enough to nourish the origin of their own world or space.

Speeding up, Brownie was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He stared at the pitiable Long Guang he held with his paw. Seeing him doing fine, he was comforted.

On the illusory phoenix’s back, Feng Huang had a hurried breathing. It had taken a toll on her to summon such a large phoenix with her cultivation level. After all, this was akin to a forbidden technique in their clan. Using it would amount to weakening herself in the process.

“This is bad,” Brownie muttered. “Should I use the void? I can’t keep up with its turbulence. It’d be bad if we’d be gone to another place other than Da Sishen. By then, it would be hard for the master to find us.”

He was in a dilemma. As the prince of the Devouring Void Dog Tribe, he had his own troubles back then, but he had the backing of the tribe during those times.

This time, however, was different. He only had Yang Lujia behind him. No one else. Moreover, that guy wasn’t even with them.

“Little girl, are you doing still okay? Do you need me to channel my qi into you? It seems like your qi had been depleted big time,” Brownie said, somewhat anxiously.

“It’s okay. I can still keep up. You just take care of little senior brother,” Feng replied Huang as she reached out a bottle of elixir from her storage ring. “This bottle of elixir will keep my qi in check from absolute depletion. Don’t worry.”

But Brownie was still worried sick about this matter. “You know you can make me help you.”

“It’s fine, little puppy.”

“Little girl…”

“Shen Zui, among us three, you are the one who went to Death City. Have you seen the City Palace Lord?” Zhang Wei hinted as he stared at the bald monk in front of him.

Shen Zui drank his tea and slowly placed the cup on top of the short table in front of the three of them. On the other hand, Zhao Qiaochen was still feeling uncomfortable with Shen Zui’s aura.

“I have seen him,” Shen Zui said. “He seems to be in the condition to fight…”

“You mean…” Zhang Wei was anticipating something for Shen Zui to answer.

After all, he had been using his son’s power to spy and investigate the situation of Death City every year.

“Yes. During the welcoming banquet, when the Soul Demon from Diabolos City tried to probe into his cultivation level and whether it had regressed or not, his son, Xia Jieke suddenly interfered.

“The moment Soul Demon attacked the City Palace Lord, Xia Zhiguang, he was stopped by Xia Jieke. His body was even destroyed. That young man is truly ruthless. By the way, his son seems to be in the Saint Realm as well like me, you Zhang Wei, and this other friend of ours.”

Zhang Wei frowned. “I did receive the news about the Soul Demon being attacked mercilessly by Xia Jieke. However, after that, I received another news that Soul Demon’s soul was cursed miserably. Eventually, his soul perished even with the supervision of Runic Demon.

“I know that the two of you heard of him, the leader of the four demon generals of Diabolos City. He had raised my son. Probably, his cultivation might have reached the Saint Realm as well. Nevertheless, he wasn’t an enemy. The more important thing was… no one knew where the curse he had received came from.”

Shen Zui’s eyes were dark. “I have a feeling. I have a feeling that the Central Domain has a strong ally on their side. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence. No one really knew. Headmaster Zhang Wei, you know Cao Nima, right?”

Zhang Wei’s shock came so fast that he forgot to breathe. “What do you mean?”

“Yes, he may be the one who did that. They also seemed to be friends with Xia Jieke. I also looked into that young man’s eyes. It’s like a deep-sea trench. One look from them and they could drown you.”

“Feng’er…” Zhang Wei contemplated and thought of what had happened during his stay in Guile City back then. “Feng’er, you know, my other disciple, had also died mysteriously. Her body exploded into blood mist. I didn’t even have the time to react. The moment Dong’er brought her to me, the enemy already detonated something from her body.”

Zhao Qiaochen’s left brow raised. His interest was piqued.

“That time, the Registration Bureau of Guile City reported that the last person who Feng’er interacted with aside from Dong’er was… Cao Nima…”

GULP!

“Wait, you mean that that kid was the one responsible for killing that Soul Demon? You call him kid or young man, is he really that powerful?” Zhao Qiaochen was feeling skeptical, but inside his heart, there was this unnatural feeling when he thought of what they said.

“Yes, Cao Nima is his name.” Zhang Wei solemnly nodded.

“It’d be best if you don’t provoke him,” Shen Zui warned. “Perhaps he did that to Soul Demon because he only wanted to avenge his friend’s father. From the outside, the kid also seems to be a carefree person. Also, he likes to eat a lot and sleep, from what I heard.”

“That’s true. During the elimination round in Guile City, he slept a lot while the competition was ongoing. He stood out for a while, and after some time, people would forget about him, unless he shows up in the arena. It’s like his very existence is a fog I can’t see through.”

Zhao Qiaochen’s heart thumped, as though something bad would happen. Really bad.

“Moreover, he also has three companions and a puppy that’s at the God Emperor Realm like the rumors say,” Zhang Wei said.

Shen Zui almost spat out the tea he was savoring in his mouth. “Are you sure about this? Two companions…” His eyes were still wide. “During the banquet, he brought three people with him, a male and a female ten-year-olds and his proclaimed disciple, Cao Xiaoma. Counting them… wait… have you also seen a puppet with them?”

Zhang Wei’s eyes widened after he realized something. “According to my intel from Death City, there was a commotion there a few days ago. It was said to be caused by a puppet-looking human, a little boy with the dragon race’s aura, a little girl with the aura of the Underworld Prison Creature, and a little puppy.”

“You also heard about this news?” Shen Zui’s shock was still there.

At this time, Zhao Qiaochen felt very ill at ease.
