Up above, Owl looked down at the weapon. "What interesting toys they have."
"Still dare to look away when fighting us? You have a lot of nerve."
In front of him now was a humanoid being with six wings and four arms. His body was covered in a carapace like that of the spider MingHao had fought before. The face resembled that of the Sky Ember Sect patriarch, with some changes. Seven horns were coming out from his head with a symbol on the forehead.
"You think you can beat me? I even let you eat them all to boost your strength, but you're still far from your peak." Owl's lips then curled into a grin as he looked back at the being. "Who do you think created you?"
"This was not the deal. After I finished off the vampire race, you promised I would be free."
"Yes, and have they been finished?"
The being turned silent. There were still many vampire races scattered around the universe.
"What a scam, you know, completely finishing them off is impossible. Some of them are even now your subordinates."
Owl's lips curled into a grin. Darkness spread out from his body, covering him and the being.
MingHao and the group looked on from a distance. Thankfully, no one else was pursuing them now. The Naga race was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing the clash of power, MingHao realized how weak he was now, and he swore to train himself even harder when he returned.
Now that he had Xue Fang, there were more people he wanted to protect, and out of all of it, he still wanted to pursue his ideals. Just how much strength did he need to achieve it? Right now, he knew it was beyond his comprehension.
Meanwhile, Zold was reading the information he had gotten from his father. Despite not showing it on his face, his emotions fluctuated a lot now.
He was shaken knowing the truth. Based on the information he learned, his sister had been kidnapped by the werewolf species.
This species was famous for playing with its victims. Just what kind of nightmare had his sister faced all this time?
There was a huge chance she was dead, but Sylva had already traced the werewolf faction that got his sister. He found a record that she had been sold to another species.
It then moved a few more times until it reached a faction that Zold had heard of. It was the one that sold the magic cultivation system to the association.
Unfortunately, there have been no more records since the incident. With the association involved, Zold knew things were quite complicated.
But this didn't deter him. He clenched his fist. 'Just wait, sister, I will come to you.'
Zold decided to spend his time in this world practicing to prepare for rescuing his sister. He also knew he needed to discuss this with Alex or at least Luca.
Meanwhile, back with Alex, Pi was now kneeling in front of him.
"Master, this is not what you promised! You should know my hatred for the Zephyr clan."
"And I did bring you here. What else do you want? Do you mean our current situation?"
When Pi found out he was in the Zephyr clan, his anger surged. He then looked for Alex but found him busy with MingYue, which is why he had only come now.
After protecting Alex, he started learning about the place he was in, and that was how he learned they were in the Zephyr clan.
"What happened before with your sect? It's already been a long time. I understand you want to take revenge, but removing this clan will mean you do the same as they did.
Do you still remember how many innocent lives were lost at that time?" Alex replied with a stern gaze.
The blood and screams, Pi still remembered everything. "What do you mean then, Master? I should give up?"
"Of course not. My point is that eradicating the whole clan might make you feel better, but seeing the result will make you regret it.
Later, how about you take revenge on the current patriarch? I can arrange a death or life fight for both of you."
Given the current situation, there was no way Alex could just annex the Zephyr clan. He also had a blood contract with Clara. But this didn't mean he could just ignore Pi's request.
His hatred was the driving force that had allowed Pi to survive this long. There was no way Alex could just extinguish it easily.
That is why he came up with this idea. As for the reason for the deathmatch, he already had many prepared. He just needed to convince Stell that the patriarch had ill will toward them now.
As for Clara, she was busy secluding herself in cultivation.
"But can I win, Master?"
"Isn't this the revenge you wanted? You walked through all your life for this. Why would you back down now?
Or do you prefer his head to be delivered on a silver platter?"
Alex didn't mind doing the latter, but he thought it would just create more problems for Pi. This way, Pi would need to put in a lot of effort to achieve it.
Not that Pi would be defeated; Alex knew he couldn't win now, but he planned to do some more modifications to his body.
Alex was sure that after this, Pi would be able to survive a fight even with an immortal.
There were many things he wanted to experiment with, from spirit weapons to the bloodline and energy waves. He planned to do them with Pi.
He also wanted to check what Byakhee had done to him. Alex had still failed to find it. Right now, he had decided he needed to take his emotions back.
He could feel something was really missing when he was spending time with MingYue, something that made it exciting.
Pi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he quickly replied, "I will do it, Master, but can I ask one more thing?"
