"You must be joking."
Xu Gu did not buy into the charade of Ying Long Qiu.
Ying Long Qiu, being a Ying Dragon of noble bloodline, esteemed status, and overwhelming strength, occupies the Yang Star in the Divine Domain Continent as an absolute hegemon.
Even the Poison Dragon Clan, Star God Clan, Sun Palace, and Ancient Church - the four superpowers - cannot do anything against him.
How could such a figure truly lower his stance in front of Xu Gu?
Unless he has ulterior motives.
Since Ying Long Qiu could betray the Yang God, it's not abnormal for him now to lower his stance, abandon his dignity, and plot against Xu Gu.
"My young master, the heart of this old servant is absolutely witnessed by heaven and earth!"
Ying Long Qiu spoke, his eyes filled with reverence: "Just thinking about how the young master will inherit the master's will and bring peace to the Human Clan excites me so much I cannot sleep."
Unexpectedly, Ying Long Qiu really is shameless.
He looked around as the gazes of the people around him converged and shook his head slightly.
He dismissed the idea of taking immediate action.
One shouldn't strike at someone who wears a smile.
It's indeed inappropriate to strike directly at a strong being who shows loyalty to the Human Clan and himself.
After all, the scandal of Ying Long Qiu's betrayal of the Yang God is unsuitable for public disclosure, with only a few knowing the truth.
Within the Human Clan's realm, only some old folks knew.
In the eyes of most onlookers, they might really think that Ying Long Qiu is aligning closely with Xu Gu.
"Don't worry, I am only here to visit the Yang Star, not to settle scores with you. If I wanted to settle scores, it wouldn't even need my action; the Champion Marquis, our predecessor, would have already made his move."
Xu Gu said smilingly.
He was not in a rush, wanting first to see and explore this Yang Star filled with intrigue; there would be plenty of opportunities to settle scores.
Hearing Xu Gu's words, Ying Long Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:
"Young master, if you don't mind, please take the seat; I have prepared a banquet to welcome and cleanse you from the journey."
"A Feast at Hongmen?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrow slightly, looked up into the sky, knowing that there are protectors like the Champion Marquis, and other Human Clan powerhouses above, and inside his Battle Space, there were also two 9-star Extreme Kings, thus he was not afraid.
He chose to go directly to the banquet.
Watching as Ying Long Qiu ushered him into the main hall, many geniuses and powerhouses were emotional.
"It's no wonder he is Xu Gu, although a bit brutal, he truly is impressive."
"To be able to make such a hegemon host a banquet with such lowered stance."
"Host a banquet? I think it's more like preparing for an ambush. Just watch, it won't be long before they start fighting."
"Being targeted by such schemes indeed signifies Xu Gu's power. Would you be worthy of being targeted by Lord Ying Long? You'd be wiped out directly!"
"What of it? The current Yang Star is not dictated by Ying Long Qiu, but by that existence."
"You mean... that one?"
Upon mentioning that one, everyone on the scene shivered tremendously, extremely terrified.
That one's terror far exceeds Ying Long Qiu!
"Moreover, I heard that the relationship between that one and the Human Clan is extraordinarily poor."
"Not just poor. It's utterly irreconcilable!"
Inside the main city of Yang Star,
Many were waiting to watch a good show. Check latest chapters at novèlfire.net
In a luxurious palace,
Xu Gu, Lian Yi, and Ying Long Qiu took their seats.
"This must be the Star God Clan's Goddess, right? Truly a beauty that defines the nation, absolutely stunning."
Ying Long Qiu looked at Lian Yi, loudly exclaiming in admiration.
Instantly, Lian Yi's face showed slight anger, quite displeased.
Any woman misrecognized would feel uncomfortable.
Xu Gu looked at him and said, "No, the Star God Clan's Goddess was somewhat dishonest, so she was confined."
Indeed, the Star God Clan's Goddess, Lian Yi, is inside the Battle Space.
Of course, it's not exactly confinement.
Rather, she is in recuperation.
She is the reincarnation of the Star Goddess. After Xu Gu killed the other three Divine Sons, the so-called three Divine Reincarnations, he bestowed their divine power upon the Star Goddess.
After she finishes her closed-door cultivation, her skills should improve further.
However, Xu Gu's smile was cold as he indifferently watched Ying Long.
Clearly, he noticed his ill intentions.
As the holder of the Yang Star, how exalted is his status in the Divine Domain Continent? Wouldn't he know about the Qingqiu Fox Clan's Saintess Lian Yi? Or the Star God Clan's Goddess Lian Yi?
"Sigh, you've seen me make a fool of myself," said Ying Long ruefully. "But there's nothing I can do about it, I'm not as glorious as people outside think.
"I have already become a prisoner at the bottom."
Xu Gu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the teacup on the table, took a light sip, and said nothing, curious about what Ying Long intended to perform.
For figures of their caliber, using poison, such a low-level method, was already meaningless.
How strong could a poison be?
It would merely escalate to the power of Rule Authority.
Then, it would be a contest of the strengths of their authorities.
Unexpectedly, Ying Long suddenly tore his clothes, revealing the scars on his body.
The scars, ferocious like dragons, emitted an extremely violent aura.
At the same time, Ying Long's aura weakened considerably, his face full of sorrow and resentment.
As if he was severely ill.
Xu Gu's brow slightly furrowed.
Things were starting to get interesting.
Beside him, Lian Yi's expression changed slightly as she messaged Xu Gu:
"I just found out, a Demon Lord of Mayhem has also entered this Yang Star with his whole family, claiming to be guests, but it has been a long time.
"They are also revived ancient divine beings.
"However, for some reason, they reportedly hold a grudge against the Yang God.
"Now, the Yang Star is essentially under their control. Ying Long has been sidelined.
"The scars on Ying Long should be from the Demon Lord of Mayhem's son, who has drawn out his tendons for making bows and arrows."
Continuing, Lian Yi took a deep breath and said, "This isn't widely known in the outside world. Because, being a Holy Land, Yang Star has a special status, and they dare not act openly."
Snow Woman also added:
"This Ying Long, although his bloodline is powerful, his essence has been damaged. He has been very weak, indeed having his Dragon Tendon drawn multiple times. Perhaps, they have been treating this Ying Long as a dairy cow, drawing a Dragon Tendon every time one regrows."
The situation was becoming increasingly interesting.
"All this is my own doing; after the banquet, you should leave quickly," Ying Long sighed. "That divine being harbors a grudge against my master, the Yang God.
"It seems that thousands of years ago, in a Secret Realm, my master harbored his affairs.
"He is now in slumber, and if he wakes up and knows you are here, he will surely strike against you."
"What is the specific strength of that Demon Lord of Mayhem?"
Xu Gu wasn't asking Ying Long but was asking Lian Yi.
Of course, he also asked the Creator's Ark.
To first ascertain the truth.
"Under this ancient star, indeed, a colossal being is slumbering, its strength uncertain," the Creator's Ark replied. "He is hidden within a spatial storm."
