Chapter 376 (2/2)

”Haha, I have further improved my fusion with this body!” Devouring Ghost howled with laughter.

”Looks like the breakthrough has been smooth,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

”Um. This body is lacking in talent, but still decent. After I perfect the fusion, I will be able to start focusing on returning to my actual cultivation realm,” said Devouring Ghost joyfully.

”That's good to hear. Let's go to Dong City now,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Ok. I can now deal with even peak Dragon Ascension Realm experts,” said Devouring Ghost confidently.

Although Devouring Ghost was currently only an eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, a monster who had lived for over 10,000 years like him could easily fight those above his cultivation level.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun headed to Dong City with Devouring Ghost, Du Xuanhao, and Jin Wo. The Dong City was the leader of the Five Denseforest Cities, with the other four cities being the Tai, Xing, Wu, and Lin Cities.

The five clans had always been led by the Dong Clan, whose ancestor was a peak Dragon Ascension Realm expert when he was still alive. He was only a step away from entering the Soul Foundation Realm, becoming a true Sovereign.

Unfortunately, when he went somewhere dangerous in search of a chance to break through, he failed to find any of the fortuitous encounters he sought and had instead gotten himself gravely injured. Ultimately, he died.

With the death of the ancestor, the power balance s.h.i.+fted greatly, and the Tai and Xing Clans' ambitions grew. The two clans then joined hands to rise up in revolt. As for the Wu and Lin Clans, they were the weakest of the five, and although they were loyal, they couldn't pose a threat to the Tai and Xing Clans.

Presently, Dong Ziming and Dong Wu were at the Dong Clan estate. The clan leader, Dong Zhuoyue, was listening to their briefing on how the Tai Clan Emperors had hunted them.

Dong Zhuoyue was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old. He had a handsome and scholarly face with a pair of flirtatious eyes that made it clear he was quite a playboy back in the days.

”Uncle Wu, you are saying Little Wan's friend is stronger than you?” Dong Zhuoyue said, his eyes lighting up with a bright glint.

”To be precise, it's the followers of Little Wan's friend. Without them, we would already be dead. Moreover, that person had been able to easily kill three Tai Clan Emperors. I think he is probably a late-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert,” Dong Wu a.n.a.lyzed.

”Good, very good. Where are they?” Dong Zhuoyue asked.

”I think they will most likely come back with Little Wan?” Dong Wu said uncertainly.

It was at this moment that someone reported Dong Ziwan's return. Dong Zhuoyue immediately summoned her to the meeting hall.

”Little Wan, it's good that you are back. Your father has been worried sick for you,” said Dong Zhuoyue with a doting look in his eyes. Although Dong Zhuoyue was a playboy, he still treated his children decently.

”Sorry for making you worry, Father,” answered Dong Ziwan, somewhat unenthusiastically. Although her father treated her decently, she still felt distanced from him due to her mother's death.

”Um. The Tai and Xing Clans are rebelling. Just stay home for now,” said Dong Zhuoyue. He asked, ”Right, I heard from your Grandpa Wu that you have some friends over? Where are they?”
