Godly Stay-Home Dad

Chapter 1499 Chaotic Times

“It’s speaking in the human tongue.”

“This black dog can speak human language.”

Tian Chen’s pupils contracted as he thought to himself. “It’s a Great Devil.”

Those Exotic Beasts that could speak the human language must be superiors.

Some had even become ancient demonic beasts.

But now, he didn’t expect that an ordinary black dog would be such a kind of Exotic Beast.

“What…”

Many people felt a little dizzy when they saw this.

This was especially true for the beast-taming Dao Seeking Cultivators with divine pets. Their eyes were bloodshot.

“This is a Great Devil!”

“I want one too.”

“…”

They were extremely envious, but they could only watch from a distance.

Among them, Heavenly Hound was the most dumbfounded.

His face became very bitter, and he muttered blankly, “What’s happening?”

When he saw the treasures on the top of the mountain out of the corner of his eye, his heart ached so much that he couldn’t breathe.

Heavenly Hound asked via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “Holy Wind, are you sure you got this?”

Unexpectedly, he got no response at all. He turned his head and saw the Holy Wind Dog King looking at Little Hei with a serious face.

“This is bad.”

Heavenly Hound had a heavy heart. He coughed and said, “Let’s get it started.”

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Mengmeng and Heavenly Hound flew back hundreds of meters.

The battle between Exotic Beasts was about to begin.

Little Hei’s eyes suddenly became fierce. It raised its mouth slightly, revealing sharp fangs like swords.

Gurgle!

Holy Wind Dog King moved its throat. It seemed to be swallowing saliva. It moved and flew forward quickly under great pressure. At the same time, it cast an innate supernatural power, the Wind Domain.

Unexpectedly, a black shadow flashed by quickly.

It was extremely fast.

Everyone turned pale with fright.

“It’s so fast!”

Heavenly Hound’s face changed dramatically. “Shit.”

There seemed to be a huge gap between Little Hei and the Holy Wind Dog King.

Heavenly Hound didn’t say anything.

However, Holy Wind Dog King just barked. “Woof, woof, woof.”

No one understood what it meant.

The awe-inspiring Holy Wind Dog King directly dispersed the Wind Domain. It raised its front paw in the air, showing that it admitted defeat.

Only then did everyone realize what was happening.

A black figure slowly appeared one meter away from the Holy Wind Dog King.

Little Hei was too fast.

It was so fast that the Holy Wind Dog King felt the crisis and immediately admitted defeat. It didn’t even have time to react.

Little Hei stared at the Holy Wind Dog King and said, “Back off.”

“Woof!”

The Holy Wind Dog King obediently flew backward and ran away without looking at Heavenly Hound, who was dumbfounded.

“No.” Heavenly Hound began to feel upset.

The people around were stunned and then began to talk about it.

“Heavenly Hound lost again.”

“He didn’t win the battle of divine pets and gets defeated in the second battle.”

“Haha, interesting.”

Yun Han said from a distance, “Heavenly Hound, looking at your solemn look, I thought you would win, but the result is truly delightful.”

Many other talents who had been tricked spoke up one after another.

“Hahaha, yeah. No wonder Heavenly Hound asked us to come here. It turns out that he has invited us to watch a good show.”

“This should be the fastest match of the year.”

“It’s exactly the same result as the previous one. The Holy Wind Dog King’s style of doing things is really similar to yours.”

Hearing the mocking words around him, Heavenly Hound stared at those people angrily.

“I lost again,” Heavenly Hound said, “Elder Zhang, as for these spiritual treasures, I’m sure that you…”

Mengmeng waved her hand and interrupted Heavenly Hound. “I can’t have too many spiritual treasures.”

Seeing the smile on Mengmeng’s face, Heavenly Hound’s mouth moved and he was at a loss for words.

Watching Mengmeng put away all the treasures, Heavenly Hound seemed to have nothing to lose. He asked, “Well, Elder Zhang, do you need an attendant? The kind that gets paid?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you think I will be suitable for the job?” Heavenly Hound asked.

“Sure.”

“Well…”

“I will offer you 100,000 crystal stones a month.”

“Forget it then.”

Heavenly Hound’s face darkened, and he said in a dull voice, “I have never submitted to anyone. You, Zhang Yumeng, are the first who ever made me do it. Wait and see. I will definitely win next time.”

“Hahaha, feel free to challenge me.” Mengmeng waved her hand with a smile.

Heavenly Hound was about to leave.

At this time, Grand Elder Tian Chen coughed softly.

“Since everyone is here, I’d like to say something.”

Heavenly Hound’s expression changed and he stopped in his tracks.

Everyone turned to look at Tian Chen.

He said, “About a month ago, someone in our sect found something unusual in the Flying Sand Plains. The ground within a radius of 500 kilometers sank. It seems that it has been attacked. But the strange thing is that within a few months of the change, there was no fluctuation coming from there. All the people of the Four Great Sects have found out about this.

“Some people are exploring there. I went there in person and finally found out the reason. A large-scale secret realm appeared in the center of the Flying Sand Plains, where the void often flashed with light. The high-position officials of the Four Great Sects had a meeting. The Crimson Sunglow Sect was in charge of making a passage of the secret realm. However, when it was opened, an accident happened and the secret realm exploded, causing the entire Flying Sand Plains to be filled with secret realms. That is to say, this secret realm is on the surface of the continent, not an Alternate Space. Unfortunately, in the air and underground, the Flying Sand Plains are surrounded by a layer of the illusory energy, making it difficult to enter the place. But everyone has also found more than a dozen entrances. It is estimated that the Bounded Domains by the entrances will become weak in the next few days. We can go in. The Flying Sand Plains will become an important training ground for the Four Great Sects. Some elders will lead the team. You will go back and prepare for the training, and we will set off tomorrow.”

Clatter!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was extremely surprised.

“We’re going out to fight?” Heavenly Hound’s expression was full of interest.

From the words of the Grand Elder, he learned that this trial in the secret realm was huge and rare to have in a hundred years. This was the golden age of the Four Great Sects on the Vast Heaven Star, and it was also extremely fierce competition. It was unknown how many people would become famous, and which talents would be killed.

Heavenly Hound loved to fight. After hearing the news, he even got goosebumps. Even his heartache caused by losing so many spirit treasures dissipated a lot.

“I’ve lost some spirit treasures, but I can still cheat others. I can’t defeat Zhang Yumeng, but I will defeat others.”

Tian Chen said, “That’s right. You will go out to fight.” Tian Chen nodded. “But be careful. The trial in the Flying Sand Plains is not a trivial matter. Once you fail, you will also die. I have three lists here, which record the information of the talented disciples of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect, the Crimson Sunglow Sect, and the Heavenly Evil Sect. There are many people you need to pay attention to. I’ll ask someone to send the lists to you later. Of course, the other three sects also have a list of our Ling Sea Sword Sect. We’ve got the news about this list in the Authentic Martial Arts Sect. You can also read it. The other two sects have done a good job of keeping secrets. I don’t know how much information they have about you and what their comments are.

Tian Chen said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now. If you want to take the trial, go back and prepare.”

No one thought too much about it. They no longer paid attention to the battle between the two divine pets. Instead, they left one after another and went back to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Tian Chen flew to Zhang Han’s side with more than a dozen people.

He looked at Yue Wuwei, cupped his hands, and said, “I wonder if you will go there or not.”

“Will we?” Yue Wuwei glanced at Mengmeng.

He longer asked for Yue Xiaonao’s opinion now. She could go anywhere the team went as she could enjoy delicacies.

“Of course, we’re going,” Mengmeng said.

“Haha, then Elder Zhang Yumeng, you will also lead a team.” Tian Chen laughed and said, “The Flying Sand Plains have a vast area. We will send 39 elders to lead the teams. Each elder will have a team and some talented disciples will participate. At that time, you will set up a communication network…”

Tian Chen gave a brief account of the matter. Mengmeng thought for a moment and agreed.

The purpose of leading a team was to take care of the talented disciples. Everyone went in separately, and they could have support if they were in trouble.

However, the situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. It was still unknown whether the help seekers could really hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

It could also be regarded as a precaution against unexpected distribution.

“The chief leader is First Elder Hanlong. You can contact him at any time if you need anything.”

The elder next to Tian Chen, Hanlong, cupped his hands and said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

He made it sound like Mengmeng was the one in charge.

In fact, he was also saying those words to Yue Wuwei.

In the sect, only the core high-position officials knew that the real safe team was Mengmeng’s team, but others didn’t know.

On the surface, Mengmeng’s strength was that of an elder, but her combat capability was at the Void-refining Realm Middle-Stage. Most of the other elders were at the Voiding Realm Peak Stage. Some were at the Integration Realm Early Stage or the Middle Stage.

In terms of strength, Mengmeng was definitely at a disadvantage, and Tian Chen felt that not many disciples would join her team.

As expected-

On the same day, Tian Chen sent word to many talented disciples, who set up teams. Aside from First Elder Hanlong, there were thirty-eight teams.

The number of people in each team was increasing rapidly, but Mengmeng’s team was growing slowly.

But someone checked it and found that although she didn’t have many teammates, all of them were excellent.

“I’ve lost so many treasures. I have to get at least some back. I have to sign up for Zhang Yumeng’s team.”

Heavenly Hound signed up without hesitation.

Hun Xuan said, “Brother, the opportunity has come. As teammates, we can communicate more with others. I’ve already signed up for Zhang Yumeng’s team.”

Hun Shang and Hun Xuan joined Mengmeng’s team.

“I’ll join in the fun. I don’t need the protection of a super-powerful elder.” Yun Han thought for a moment and joined in.

There were also a few people such as Jiang Yanlan who joined Mengmeng’s team, more than 20 in total.

Zhang Han and Zi Yan didn’t sign up. They just went wherever Mengmeng went.

Amongst the genius disciples of the Sword Sect, except for those who were extremely confident and felt that they didn’t need an elder’s protection, almost all of them joined Mengmeng’s team. Many other rational people signed up for the other elders’ teams one after another.

There were nearly a hundred disciples in every elder’s team. They had at least 60 or 70 team members. Mengmeng only had more than a dozen disciples on her team.

However, everyone was more interested in the lists of the major sects.

These were the opponents’ information, as well as the Authentic Martial Arts Sect’s evaluation of the Sword Sect.

They were also very curious.

Mengmeng and the others were sitting at the dining table. She flipped through the messages and said, “I wonder if I’m on the list.”

“I think so. News spread very fast on the Vast Heaven Star,” Jiang Yanlan said with a smile.

“There are so many people’s names here. It’s dazzling.”

Mengmeng muttered and clicked open the list of the Ling Sea Sword Sect.

“The first place is Heavenly Hound. The evaluation is that this person is powerful and has a lot of means. He has no scruples in fighting. When you see him, you should be careful. It’s suggested to leave right away.

“It seems that Heavenly Hound is quite famous.”

Mengmeng spoke as she scrolled through the messages.

“The second place is Yun Han. It’s said that he is fast and proficient in assassination occult arts.

“The third place is me.”

The information showed that Zhang Yumeng, a new disciple of the Sword Sect, was now the strongest on the south coast. She was powerful and had mastered a lot of occult arts. She was proficient in fiery skills and the Tao of the sword. When one saw Zhang Yumeng, one had to be careful. The suggestion was that those with the strength at the Void-refining Realm Middle Stage could fight against her.

“It seems that the people of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect don’t know what real talent means.” Zhang Han said with some dissatisfaction, “No wonder this sect has no prestige. This evaluation is too ridiculous.”

Seeing Zhang Han’s look, Zi Yan couldn’t help laughing. “You’re really… I’m speechless. Mengmeng hasn’t been in the sect for a long time. In other people’s eyes, maybe she has already used up all her trump cards since she became the No.1. They assume that they’ve known everything about her moves, so they don’t need to be too afraid of her. As for Heavenly Hound and the others, they all have trump cards that people need to be afraid of.”

“Huh.”

Zhang Han touched his chin and said, “Mengmeng, when we go out to fight against the enemy this time, we will use different moves. We’ll show them if we have any trump cards.”

“Well, okay.” Mengmeng pouted and said with a lovely expression, “Shouldn’t we keep a low profile?”

“Don’t keep a low profile. Keep a high profile when it’s necessary,” Zhang Han said.

“It’s amazing to take third place.” Yue Wuwei suddenly said in a dull voice, “My daughter is probably not even on the list.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that, Elder Yue?” Yue Xiaonao glared at him and said, “We’re eating. Do you want to affect my appetite?”

“No, no. Hurry up and eat.” Yue Wuwei immediately admitted defeat.

“I’ll check how my dad is ranked.”

Mengmeng didn’t care much about this. She scrolled through the messages and said, “His name is at the back. It’s already behind the 300th place. The realm of Zhang Hanyang is unknown, and his strength is unknown. When you see this person, you have to be cautious. Maybe Zhang Yumeng is nearby. Hahaha, it’s so funny.”

Mengmeng immediately laughed happily.

Zhang Han also laughed and shook his head.

“Aunty Jiang is ranked about 100th. Her information is quite comprehensive. She is at the God Transformation Realm Last Stage or the Peak Stage. Her strength is not ordinary.

“Uncle Feng, Uncle Chen is not on the list, and neither is my mum.”

After reading the list of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect, Mengmeng began to read about the famous masters of other sects.

“This is what our sect knows about the other sects.

“The No. 1 of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect is Pingkong. He has cultivated the Overwhelming Sacred Body Essential and reached the level of the Earth Sacred Body three years ago. His defense is extremely strong and his speed is very fast. He is proficient in the eight occult arts of the Martial Arts Sect. He has mastered the Dragon-tiger Fist, and he can conjure strange phenomena. One must be extremely cautious when encountering him.

“Aunty Leng Yue and the others are also on the list.”

Mengmeng read the comments of Leng Yue, Ah Hu, Elder Meng, Jiang Bing, and Yun Feiyang respectively. They were all on the list.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng said to Chen Changqing with a smile, “It seems that we are left behind since we are not on the list.”

“Then I’ll make use of the secret realm of the Flying Sand Plains to make my title Emperor Qing well-known,” Chen Changqing said lightly.

After cultivating for so long, he had reached the God Transformation Realm Peak Stage. The power of all eight drought demonic dragon was about to reappear in the world.

“The evaluation of the Heavenly Evil Sect hasn’t been made yet. I guess we’ll know when we see Mu Xue and the others,” Jiang Yanlan said.

They had no acquaintances in the Crimson Sunglow Sect, but some of them had joined the Heavenly Evil Sect. The sect’s evaluation of the Sword Sect would be clear when they met.

“These comments are just a side view. Don’t pay too much attention to it,” Chen Changqing said.

“That’s right.” Mengmeng nodded in agreement. “No one knows that my dad is so powerful. Uncle Chen and Uncle Feng can get on the list with their strength, but they didn’t. This must be the same case in other sects.”

“That’s right.” Zhao Feng smiled and said, “Many new talents will emerge from this trial in the great secret realm.”

“Get ready. We’ll set off tomorrow.”

They had a delicious dinner.

Under the setting sun, the whole sect was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Many disciples knew that the competition between the Four Great Sects was about to begin again.

Some people discussed it.

“The last time there was such a large-scale secret realm was decades ago. It was said that blood flowed like a river, which was extremely terrifying. Some talents died while some rose.”

“It’s the survival of the fittest. The turbulent times of the Flying Sand Plains are coming. I get nervous just thinking about it.”

“It’s a pity that we haven’t been in the sect for a long time, and our strength is still low. We can’t participate.”

“How can new disciples have such an opportunity?”

“Zhang Yumeng does.”

“…”

Mengmeng was not only popular among the new disciples but also in the whole sect.

The next day, a group of people came to Swordbamboo Peak one after another.

Hun Xuan said with a smile, “Zhang Yumeng, we’re here.”

She didn’t call Mengmeng Elder because she still wanted Mengmeng to be her sister-in-law, so she didn’t address her in a formal way.

“Elder Zhang.”

Yun Han and the others were very courteous.

They came to the backyard and greeted Mengmeng.

It was only more than a dozen people, not many.

Other than these talented disciples, the remaining disciples were made up of a large group and were led by specific elders.

The last one to arrive was Heavenly Hound.

“Elder Zhang, how have you been?”

Heavenly Hound said with a smile, “I guess I’ll have to trouble you during this trip. Of course, if you have any trouble, I will do my best to help you.”

He spoke in a very generous manner. It seemed that he was filled with righteousness.

With the Holy Wind Dog King by his side, he looked even more awe-inspiring.

But Little Hei couldn’t stand it. It bared its fangs and growled in a low voice, “Ow, ow, ow…”

Swoosh!

The Holy Wind Dog King shivered and immediately lay prone on the ground, wagging its tail at Little Hei.

Heavenly Hound was speechless.

At this time, Mengmeng waved her hand and said, “If there is any trouble, contact me in time. I will take care of everyone. Don’t talk too much. Let’s go.”
