"Brother Hong, do you really want to go? I think it’s better to forget about it! Even if Beast King City is destroyed, it has nothing to do with us. We should focus on our cultivation, or else when Grandpa returns and sees that we’ve made no progress, we’ll get scolded!" said the young girl seriously.
It turns out this young man is actually Ouyang Hong. Upon sensing the commotion from Beast King City, his first reaction was to associate it with Chu Linfeng, possibly thinking only that kid could cause such an earth-shattering incident.
The elder who brought him here said there are many strong individuals in Beast King City, and he’s only at the First Layer of Venerable Martial Realm, while the Beast King is at the Third Layer. However, according to what young Qin’er said, this elder was already at the Third Layer, and the Beast King surpassed the Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm centuries ago. This is common knowledge in the Netherworld.
Ouyang Hong was very eager to go and see for himself. He had been in Beast King City for about a year now, yet he hadn’t acquired even one Netherworld Purple Orchid, though his strength had grown rapidly to the Seventh Layer of Saint Martial Realm.
"It’s okay, we’re just going to have a look. We’re not causing any trouble. Grandpa won’t know!" Ouyang Hong said imdiately.
The girl hesitated for a mont before saying, "Then we can only observe from afar. We must not approach Beast King City, or we’ll be severely punished if Grandpa finds out!"
The once capricious young girl had turned into a gentle lady, and Ouyang Hong’s presence had caused a dramatic change in her heart, unknowingly allowing soone to reside in it—a person she wished to be with for a lifeti.
Ouyang Hong had similar feelings for Qin’er as well. The wound in his heart caused by Lin Ruoxi was slowly being healed by Qin’er. But he knew it wasn’t the right ti yet; he needed to complete his task first. He worried that if he couldn’t take her with him upon leaving, it would inflict great pain on both of them. Hence, he often pretended not to know, avoiding and dodging the issue.
But just then, an old voice rang in their ears: "You two stay quietly here; no one should go out. Beast King City has now been destroyed by a peerless expert. It seems the Netherworld will undergo a trendous change. We must be cautious."
Upon hearing this voice, both their expressions changed imdiately. They looked up to the sky, and soon, an elder appeared before them. This elder, of course, was the young girl Qin’er’s grandfather.
"Grandpa, when did you return? What exactly happened, and why was Beast King City destroyed? Who has such power to challenge the Beast King?" Qin’er imdiately asked.
"I am not entirely sure about this matter either. Grandpa’s power can’t compare to the one who destroyed Beast King City. But one thing is certain: the Beast King wasn’t in Beast King City at that ti, or such an event wouldn’t have occurred. It’s likely that the Beast King was lured away by the opponent. This is no simple matter, and we should not involve ourselves in this trouble. I’ll take you out once things settle. In the anti, focus on your cultivation!" the elder said.
Ouyang Hong wanted to ask the elder about the information on Chu Linfeng, but seeing the elder’s current expression, he swallowed his words and decided to ask later.
At that sa mont, Xiao Qiang had already destroyed much of the vast Beast King City and killed several of the powerful figures who appeared in the sky. "It’s best for you not to ddle in this affair, or don’t bla this old man for being rude. The Beast King might have been killed, so there will be no more Five Great Powers in the Netherworld. I have pressing matters to attend to, so excuse for not entertaining you!"
Seeing that the task was nearly completed, Xiao Qiang hurriedly flew toward Jiuyou City, still preoccupied with Chu Linfeng. After Xiao Qiang’s departure, Beast King City underwent another trendous change. Within the city, many people were frantically looting shops and the City Lord’s Mansion, with killing and fighting rampant—a complete and utter riot...
As the Beast King pursued Chu Linfeng, he felt sothing off. This kid was powerful but seed intent on avoiding a direct confrontation with him, as if deliberately biding ti. Suddenly, a bad notion surfaced in his mind.
"Darn it! Beast King City is in danger!" the Beast King hastily exclaid. Only then did he realize that soone was missing, another individual with imnse power, capable of easily destroying his Beast King City. He had clearly fallen into the opponent’s diversionary tactic.
The Beast King’s expression changed abruptly, and he swiftly turned around to head back to Beast King City. Naturally, Chu Linfeng also noticed his actions and quickly pursued him, easily overtaking him with his superior speed.
"Hey, you old geezer! Why did you stop chasing? Are you scared of ? Hahaha!" Chu Linfeng deliberately taunted, trying to provoke him once more.
From Chu Linfeng’s actions, the Beast King was even more certain that Beast King City had already suffered a disastrous blow. He never expected his montary carelessness to be so cunningly exploited, realizing now it was a monuntal conspiracy.
"Kid, what did you do to my Beast King City?" the Beast King imdiately asked. At this mont, if he really got entangled with the other side, it would be very troubleso to break free. He could only get information about the situation of the Beast King City from this kid’s mouth.
"Beast King City? Nothing happened! It’s just that from this mont, it disappeared from the Netherworld. You look all tense and still claim to be the king of a tribe? Even if you rush back, it’s useless. We’ve been chasing for so long, do you think my friends are so stupid that they can’t destroy your Beast King City?" Lin Feng laughed.
The Beast King’s face turned ashen, with killing intent extending infinitely. If looks could kill, Chu Linfeng might have died a thousand tis over by now, or even completely obliterated by him.
"Haha, do you want to kill right away? Unfortunately, you’re powerless. In terms of strength, you might be a bit stronger than , but you’re no match for my speed. And your biggest trump card, the Space Domain, is ineffective against . So stop wasting your efforts. In a generous mood today, I’ll let you go. Revenge? There will be plenty of opportunities! Hahaha!" Lin Feng laughed, though his heart was burning with anxiety.
Because just at this mont, Chu Qing inford him that the situation in Jiuyou City was exactly the sa as that in Beast King City, already destroyed by several powerful experts, and the Lord of Netherworld was fighting soone, seemingly injured.
Such news was a bolt from the blue in Chu Linfeng’s ears. No wonder the Lord of Netherworld had not co; sothing indeed happened. He hoped Yiyi and Ruoxi were safe, or he really wouldn’t know what he would do. If he had known, he wouldn’t have stopped himself from going directly back to Jiuyou City.
"Kid, I will repay today’s grudge double! Just wait for that day!" the Beast King growled, then flew straight back to Beast King City, while Lin Feng did not stop him and hurried to Jiuyou City.
The speed boost from Wind Transformation was undoubtedly a tily rain for Lin Feng. After performing a few Instant Teleportations, he arrived above Jiuyou City. Seeing the state of Jiuyou City, his face turned pale.
In the vast city of Jiuyou, only less than one-third of it remained, with the location of the City Lord’s Mansion turning into ruins. The ground was full of huge cracks and pits, along with many corpses of the Ghost Race, including so who had been in the main hall at that ti.
"Ruoxi! Ruoxi, you must be okay!" Chu Linfeng shouted anxiously in his heart. Between Princess Yiyi and Lin Ruoxi, he was more concerned about Lin Ruoxi.
But soon, Chu Linfeng heard the sound of fighting coming from the air. The source of the sound was about a few hundred miles to his left, so he flashed and hurried over.
At this mont, he saw the Lord of Netherworld battling the Ghost King, while Xiao Qiang and the Second Elder of the Ghost Race were fighting a few others from the Ghost Race. Both were severely injured, especially Xiao Qiang, who was covered in blood, like a blood-soaked figure.
Chu Linfeng glanced at the Lord of Netherworld and noticed that his injuries were not too severe, so he could still hold on against the Ghost King for a while longer. He then drew the Cyan Frost Sword and moved to Xiao Qiang’s side.
"Old man, are you okay? How did you end up like this?" Chu Linfeng asked worriedly. There was no ti to look for Lin Ruoxi now. This search could only be entrusted to Chu Qing and Sword Spirit, according to their Divine Sense. If anything happened to Lin Ruoxi, Chu Linfeng would definitely make the entire Ghost Race pay.
"I’m not dead yet, but if you ca any later, I’d really be a goner this ti. I made a mistake by trusting the wrong friend, almost losing my life; such a big loss." Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly, his expression full of pain.
Chu Linfeng didn’t rush to attack but asked, "Did the Ghost King hurt you? Otherwise, how could these people be too much for you?" anwhile, he directly infused the Wood Elent to heal his injuries.
Xiao Qiang, originally a strong practitioner at the Fourth Level of Venerable Martial Realm, imdiately felt the Wood Elent start to circulate within him, healing a third of his injuries in just a few breaths, making him even more amazed at Chu Linfeng’s abilities.
"There’s actually soone who just broke through to the Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm among them. I was unaware and was wounded by him using the Space Domain. You need to be careful!" Xiao Qiang said.
anwhile, the Second Elder was also covered in wounds, and he persisted solely through sheer willpower. Chu Linfeng approached him and said, "Second Elder, go back and rest for a while. Leave these few to . Today, I’ll make them realize that foolish actions must be atoned for with their lives."
"Consort, be careful!" The Second Elder simply said a few words, then coughed up a mouthful of blood unwillingly, while Chu Linfeng at that mont heard Chu Qing’s voice in his ear, "Brother, brother, Sister Ruoxi she..." (There will be another Chapter updated at midnight, and more updates tomorrow night. Once Xiao Xiao’s situation improves, there will be a separate Chapter discussing the illness. Thank you for understanding!)
