85 The Chase
WITH THE CONSOLE of both Feng Huang and Brownie, Long Guang finally managed to sleep. Compared to the two of them, Long Guang’s mentality was simply immature.
He was smart, but not too smart as he was limited by his age to understand things.
“Fortunately, we calmed him down. If he had gone berserk for not seeing his master, we would’ve been discovered by our enemies. His aura began leaking earlier. We know that God Emperors simply had their sights on the entire Da Sishen. They are powerful enough to catch the aura of other God Emperors from afar,” Brownie explained.
Feng Huang also nodded. “Little puppy, you’re quite knowledgeable, are you a God-Emperor as well?” She blinked her innocent-looking eyes at him, wondering about the cultivation level of the puppy.
“What do you take me for?” Brownie’s face fluttered a bit. “Have you not seen me fight there?”
He was speechless. Was this little girl so focused on her fight that she forgot about his existence?
“…”
Almost a breath of time, the ferocious music of the whistling wind made the two of them alert. Both of their eyes flashed with wariness..
“Have we been found?” Feng Huang’s expression was as black as the bottom of a pot. “Our location should have been remote. How did they instantly find us here? It’s already been a few days since we stayed here.”
Brownie couldn’t help but tacitly agree. Perhaps because this place was one of the closest places to Death City.
Baring his teeth, he looked in the direction where they sensed someone coming. “Whoever you are, I will eat you.”
A Void Devouring Dog was simply something someone could not expect in this realm to be born. After all, this puppy originally came from a higher realm. The moment it was born, it instantly became a God Emperor.
This talent was even more terrifying than Yang Lujia himself, so to say.
Minutes later, however, no one entered the cave they were in. It seemed like the other party did not really find it. Instead, these people were here only to search for their presence.
Brownie immediately hid his God Emperor cultivation level. It was the same for Feng Huang as she enveloped Long Guang with a protective white layer to also isolate his aura from these people.
“Little puppy, when they enter the cave, follow my queue. Let’s just directly kill them,” Feng Huang ordered.
Brownie’s eyes widened. “Are you crazy?”
“No, I am not. Then, do you want to stay here until they find out about our presence? That won’t be too long, right?”
Brownie also realized this. It seemed like staying in one location would easily expose their position.
“How do you plan on killing them?”
“Fight our way out.”
“…”
“Is that even a plan?”
“No.”
“…”
Brownie got his fair of a headache Yang Lujia always felt when facing his disciples and the usual baffling mind of Lin Diyu.
“Isn’t this the place where the patriarch had said? Is he certain about this location? It’s simply too remote!” Zhao De, a junior ancestor of the Echinemon Race, complained to his companies. “Zhao Yi, you’re the smartest among us. You should have already…”
“Shut up, brat. I am still determining their location…”
Zhao De simply harrumphed as he was not that offended. After all, Zhao Yi was still his superior. Except for the always silent youngest junior brother of the race, all of them had a bit of a temper that even Zhao Qiaochen found so hard to quell.
“There! At the cave! I sensed some slight movement!” Zhao Yi exclaimed, as soon as she felt some slight vibrations. She then motioned to some God Emperors to come forward to probe the other party’s exact location.
Zhao Yi was quite sensitive to vibrations. It was her innate ability that no other echinemon had. This was why they specially assigned her to this task as she was most sensitive to sounds.
“We have to kill that descendant of the Dragon Race. If he grows up, he will definitely be a thorn to our race. Although our special space had protected us for several years and had borne several Saints, we couldn’t become complacent with our enemies.”
No one actually knew that the Echinemon Race had hidden this much behind the scenes. After the last purge, until now, they actually survived. If it was not for some experts who survived the purge, they would have already ruled Da Sishen. Unfortunately, at that time, they were still as feeble as cotton.
When the three of these junior ancestors came out, the heaven and earth qi of the whole Da Sishen increased, even more, quickening the awakening of the beast sleeping in the Hundred Deaths Gorge River.
If previously, it would take at least a decade for the Death Purge to commence, this time, it was reduced to only a couple of months. Moreover, if more God Emperors or Saints fought against one another, it would even narrow the span of time needed for the beginning to a certain degree.
“Our eldest senior brother said that he had a plan. We only have to follow his orders,” Zhao Xiaoran, the ever-silent junior ancestor, talked all of a sudden.
His voice even sent shivers down to some God Emperors of their race. This youngest junior ancestor was simply unfathomable in their eyes. Neither Zhao Yi nor Zhao De could restrain him. Only their eldest senior brother, Zhao Qiaochen, could do that.
“Let’s follow inside the cave,” Zhao Yi finally broke the overwhelming silence and silently glided through the air toward the cave. “They are indeed here. I can sense some aura of the Dragon Race here.”
WHISH!
A sword suddenly flew out from the cave, aiming at Zhao Yi. It caught her off guard. Barely dodging the incoming attack, the cave rumbled.
A God Emperor screamed in pain after getting impaled by the sword.
Above them, a large hole formed and light shone upon them while three lines of figures swiftly went through the hole.
“Fuck! So cunning! They actually thought of escaping by blasting a hole on top of the cave. Do they think they can simply escape just like that? From us, Saints?!” Zhao De growled.
Fortunately, Long Guang didn’t wake up. They noticed that the little boy was on the verge of breaking through. If he was disturbed, Brownie and Feng Huang couldn’t even imagine the damage it’d take.
But Brownie was still speechless by Feng Huang’s cowardly act.
‘Didn’t you say we will kill them directly if they enter the cave? Where’s the trust between dogs and phoenixes?’
