In the grand hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, the Lord of Netherworld sat at the topmost position, with Chu Linfeng and Princess Yiyi seated to his left and right. Below, there were Lin Ruoxi and Xiao Qiang, followed by Elder Yao and the Second Elder, with the four Patriarchs also present among several forr honored guest elders and tributors of the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, due to Chu Linfeng’s slaying of Jia Taibai, many people had left the City Lord’s Mansion directly. So only recognized money, not people; whoever paid them was their master. Almost twenty people were present in the hall, representing the most powerful forces in Qingtian City.
"Today, I am very pleased. From now on, Qingtian City officially becos the main city of the Ghost Race. I plan to expand the city anew, and since everyone is present here, the prosperity of the Ghost Race will rely on all our joint efforts.
Presently, our Ghost Race has eradicated the Ghost King and the Beast King, and occupying their territories is urgent. We cannot let the Netherworld Lord and Human King get ahead of us. According to the scouts’ reports, these two races have already shown signs of action. Therefore, I have decided to postpone the banquet until we completely control their territories. What does everyone think?" The Lord of Netherworld spoke directly.
"We will follow the Lord of Netherworld’s decision. When do we set out?" The Patriarch of the Yang Family couldn’t help but ask.
"We set out shortly. Let’s assign the candidates to go to the Ghost Race and Beast Race first. We’ll split into two teams, one to the Ghost Race and one to the Beast Race. The elites of the Ghost Race, including the Ghost King, have all been slain, so going to the Ghost Race should be relatively easier. The Beast Race is not very difficult either, so I have decided to take the Second Elder, two Patriarchs, and ten honored guest elders with to the Ghost Race. The rest will go to the Beast Race with Lin Feng.
I know many are unconvinced about my son-in-law, but let assure you all, Lin Feng is more powerful than I am. It was he who slew the Ghost King and the Beast King. In fact, following him might be even safer. Does anyone have any objections to my arrangent?" the Lord of Netherworld said.
Everyone gazed at Chu Linfeng, finding it hard to believe that he could slay the Ghost King and Beast King. Only the four Patriarchs and a few others brought by Jia Taibai knew the Lord of Netherworld’s words were true; the Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm’s Jia Taibai was slain by his sword without sustaining any injury, demonstrating his imnse power.
"I know you may not believe my words, but it is an undeniable fact. You will understand in ti. There’s no ti to lose, so let’s set out now. I hope we can successfully complete the mission. This has been a dream of the Ghost Race for many years, and today let’s make that dream a reality!" the Lord of Netherworld said.
"Father, I want to go with Lin Feng too. You won’t leave us here in Qingtian City, will you?" Princess Yiyi asked.
The Lord of Netherworld wanted to refuse, but he glanced at Chu Linfeng to see his opinion. "You all will remain in Qingtian City. I will also leave Xiao Qiang to protect you. More people would be a burden. You should understand what I an," Chu Linfeng said.
Lin Ruoxi seed about to speak but held back. She knew that Chu Linfeng wouldn’t agree, and insisting would only cause his displeasure, so it was unnecessary. Princess Yiyi glared at Chu Linfeng and said, "Fine, we won’t go. Who cares? Ruoxi, let’s go!"
With that, she pulled Lin Ruoxi and left the hall directly, while the others exchanged smiles. "Xiao Qiang, I entrust Ruoxi and Yiyi’s safety to you. The city may be dispensable, but their safety must be ensured. Don’t let down."
"Rest assured, go at ease. I’ll be waiting for your return to drink together! When the ti cos, we’ll drink for three days and nights," Xiao Qiang said.
Imdiately, the forces split in two. The Lord of Netherworld and Chu Linfeng led their respective teams to the Ghost Race and Beast Race, unaware that the Ghost Race and Beast Race had already been preemptively occupied by the Human Race and Nether Race. Challenges await in a fierce battle.
Half a day later, Chu Linfeng arrived above the forr Beast King City. At this mont, Beast King City had already been mostly destroyed by Xiao Qiang, but many Beast Race mbers were still moving around in the city. A closer look would reveal they were not just moving but fleeing. The tense expressions on their faces indicated the place was extrely dangerous.
The Beast Race had more than just the Beast King City. Beast King City was rely the largest of their cities, but there were several smaller cities, akin to Qingtian City or Wangtu City. Only by completely occupying all these cities could the Beast Race be said to be fully conquered.
Chu Linfeng then said to the nearby Patriarch of the Yang Family, "Go to Beast King City and see if there are any formidable figures left inside. If there are, make them surrender. If they refuse, kill them outright. Go swiftly and return quickly; we need to check other cities as well."
"Rest assured, my lord. I will complete the task splendidly," the Patriarch of the Yang Family said, then, along with another Patriarch, flashed into the now-ruined Beast King City.
Soon, they discovered many fleeing Beast Race mbers and also spotted so Human Race mbers madly slaughtering the Beast Race. So of those individuals were experts at the Venerable Martial Realm level, an uncommon phenonon. The Patriarch of the Yang Family seed to sense sothing, his expression changing.
He imdiately said to the other Patriarch beside him, "Old Hu, wait here. I’ll go report this strange situation to our lord. I suspect the Human Race arrived before us and probably already occupied Beast King City."
"I also feel this situation is unwise. Hurry up! This matter cannot be delayed!" the Patriarch of the Hu Family said.
The Patriarch of the Yang Family quickly flew to Chu Linfeng’s side. Upon seeing him return so promptly, Chu Linfeng was also shocked: "Did you complete the task so quickly? Your efficiency is incredibly high!"
"My lord, it seems we arrived a step too late. In Beast King City, I saw many Human Race experts slaughtering the Beast Race. It’s highly likely that the Human Race occupied Beast King City before us," the Patriarch of the Yang Family reported.
Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng frowned slightly and said, "Soone dares to snatch things from ? They’re courting death. Let’s go! We’ll et these Human Race experts and show them the might of our Ghost Race."
As soon as he spoke, he vanished into thin air, his speed astonishing the crowd behind him. The prowess of this young man was beyond imagination.
When Chu Linfeng reached Beast King City, everything matched what the Patriarch of the Yang Family had seen. An elder with the strength of the First Layer of Venerable Martial Realm was wielding a long sword, rcilessly slaying fleeing Beast Race mbers. The Beast Race’s strength usually ranged from the Divine Martial Realm to the Saint Martial Realm, making them easy targets for slaughter. (Updated at midnight)
