THE GUILE CITY guards prepared for an incoming attack from a strong enemy. Guard camps were stationed on all sides of Guile City. Wang Lao also issued an order for the city to be on lockdown while checking the identities of every person within the city.

It was still unknown whether the Northern Territory would attack Guile City. According to what Wang Lao’s father said, there were demons within the city. However, as far as they had searched, they could find none.

That only applied, however, to normal people or cultivators with low cultivation levels. They had not yet looked into God Emperors or God Kings. After all, the God Emperors and God Kings in Guile City were amongst the most respected in Da Sishen. Wang Lao wouldn’t be able to search them without any plausible reason at all.

Holding an imperial relic in his hand, he stared at the Guile Magus Academy’s two supreme instructors. While the headmaster had yet to come out of seclusion, both of them were in charge of the academy’s affairs.

“Respected two supreme instructors, God Emperors,” Wang Lao began, as he showed them the imperial relic he was holding while telling them the whole situation in the city. “This is a human-ranked imperial relic that my father has given me.”

“Glowing Demon Stick?” the first supreme instructor said, seemingly surprised. “Is this something that can detect whether there is the aura of a demon in us? You’ve been using this the whole time?”

Wang Lao solemnly nodded. “We are now in a dire situation. I know it’s a bit sudden, but you already know that the Northern Territory is planning to attack Guile City. We have to move in order to prepare them. With their title as the second strongest territory in the entire Da Sishen, I’m afraid we don’t stand a chance if we don’t take precautionary measures.”_.

Both the supreme instructors were also convinced by Wang Lao’s explanation. As they both nodded, they extended their hands toward him. “How do we check it, City Lord?”

Wang Lao then channeled some of his qi into the Glowing Demon Stick. It shone goldenly. “This is how we do it, fellow God Emperors. You just need to channel your qi into the imperial relic. When it glows golden, it means you are not a member of the Northern Territory. If it’s red, however…”

The two nodded as the first supreme instructor first extended his hand to the stick he received from Wang Lao. Gradually, he channeled his qi into the stick, and it radiated a golden light. Sighing, he passed the Glowing Demon Stick to the second supreme instructor beside him.

Seeing that they were not, in any way, contaminated or possessed by demons, Wang Lao heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, there was only one person who wasn’t checked yet in the academy.

On the other hand, Yang Lujia was still sleeping soundly inside the Origin Court. Beside him were his two disciples, and Feng Huang, sitting cross-legged. They were guarding him in his room.

Half a month had already passed, and yet their master hadn’t woken up.

This made Lin Diyu’s forehead crease. On the other hand, Long Guang was teary-eyed and looked at his big brother pleadingly. “Big bwa… bwader… master… ow… kay?”

Lin Diyu’s face softened as he stared at his second junior brother’s weeping face.

‘Poor junior brother.’

“Come here,” Lin Diyu said, lifting Long Guang to sit on his lap. He then caressed his junior brother’s face and wiped away his tears. “You don’t have to worry about the master. Remember, the master said that we don’t have to worry about him. Besides, the master is so powerful!”

Long Guang’s face turned better and his expression beamed. “Rwayt! Rwayt! Master okay! Long Guang no cry!”

Feng Huang, on the other hand, didn’t mind what was happening. She was only cultivating hard. After Yang Lujia suppressed her cultivation, she was quite annoyed as she couldn’t use her full power, so she was trying to find a way to restore her peak self.

“We haven’t eaten yet since the master went asleep. Should we go outside to look for food?” Lin Diyu suggested. “You also don’t have to worry. We will bring the master with us just in case something happens.”

“Alrwayt!”

“Count me in! I’m up for food!” Feng Huang then took a look at Yang Lujia. “If only he were awake, we could’ve eaten that shrimp again!”

Lin Diyu smiled when he heard this and carried Long Guang on his shoulders. With his qi flowing through his arms, it materialized into an illusory bed. Feng Huang then helped and placed Yang Lujia on top of it.

“Are we okay with bringing him outside like this?” Feng Huang was slightly hesitant. Then, before the other two could answer, she said, “It should be fine. I think he would wake up when he’d be attacked by others. Besides, it seems like the city was really peaceful.”

Marching their way outside, the people around the city were skeptical when they saw the four. While walking on the streets sniffing for some delicious aroma, the group looked like clowns in a circus.

However, most of the people did not dare offend them. After all, they knew the one who was sleeping on the bed made of qi. It was the champion of the Elimination Round and the only God Emperor among all the other contestants.

They could still remember how this pair of master and disciple, Yang Lujia and Lin Diyu, beat up the so-called prodigies of their city. It was an unbelievable feat to do, especially given that Lin Diyu’s cultivation level was below those who he beat up.

For example, Xiao Yue, who had practiced diligently after his full recovery, was again beaten up by Lin Diyu. First, it was Feng Huang who did it to him; the second time, it was Lin Diyu. Long Guang had yet to beat him up when he arrogantly walked in the group’s direction.

Since Feng Huang’s face was altered, Xiao Yue didn’t recognize this little girl who trampled him unconscious. At that moment, his eyes were on Lin Diyu. “You brat! Come and fight me again! I’ve already advanced to the Eight Stage of the God King Realm! What about betting your little junior sister right there? If I win this time, I’ll get to taste her. If you get to win—”

Long Guang harrumphed and crossed his arms across his chest. “Master swed bad gais kil!”

Feng Huang was also infuriated. He still remembered this asshole who she thought had violated her sister. It seemed like it was wrong for her to spare this asshole’s life back then. If not for her suppressed cultivation level, she would’ve already killed this damnable human.

Xiao Yue twitched his lips at the stares thrown by these two little kids. However, he then grinned, but it faded away quickly when he found out that Lin Diyu had already disappeared from his front. An ominous feeling gripped his heart as a cold voice sounded behind him.

“Hey, how do you want to die?”

“Huh?” Xiao Yue froze in place. A silver dagger was already placed against his neck. He felt cold all over. Fuck!

“Long Guang cut litol bwader! Master swed litol bwader of bad gais is cut!”

Just when he felt a small clutching hand on his crotch, he heard another voice behind the little guy. “How do you want to die, human? It seemed like I didn’t beat you up last time. It’s a perfect time now to kill you. I am feeling hungry. It seems like I’m going to taste human meat now.”

“Hmm! Hmm!” Long Guang affirmed and squeezed his balls even more.

Xiao Yue felt like screaming, but he couldn’t bring himself to. Internally, he was already shouting his heart out, “Mommm! Help! I’m going to die! Mommmm!!!” Tears subconsciously crawled down his cheeks as his legs turned numb. “Fuck…”

He really dug his own grave for a petty reason this time.
