Chapter 527 - Blocking His Path (1/2)

Multi-armed King Kong waited outside the city for only 2 hours before it left with rumbling sounds again.

When the gigantic beasts went far away, everyone in the city knew Changlong City’s hero had gone too. Nonetheless, most people did not know the exact reason Ou Yangming left in such a hurry, and they had no idea that the imperial family and the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties were on the verge of a dispute.

The Humans did not crumble during the disaster, but there were signs of a civil war.

It was not Ou Yangming’s first time entering the capital. Although he remembered the way there, he did not hasten on with his journey this time; he sat on Multi-armed King Kong’s back and traveled at a normal speed.

Each time the king kong pa.s.sed by a village or a city, it attracted plenty of attention and even caused disturbances.

Even when Multi-armed King Kong did not terrorize the people at all, n.o.body could ignore it because of its build. Soon enough, the news of a humongous spirit beast about to enter the capital was spread to everyone in the world, and it also became a hot topic in the capital. Even so, people found it strange that while the common folks were discussing it, the imperial family and the powerful aristocratic families in the capital did not say a word about it.

Be it clans that received Ou Yangming’s kindness, which helped their powerhouses become Supreme Great Ancestors and received magic tools, or the Zhang family, which were already enemies with the young fellow, they all kept quiet. Perhaps they were waiting for a response from the imperial family.

In the 8 counties, the imperial family might be known to be contending with the inherited aristocratic families from the upper realm, but they were dominant in the capital, hence none of the clan would have the guts to cross the line regarding this issue. Even if they were personally close to Ou Yangming, none of them dared to screw up, or their clans would not have a firm hold in the capital anymore.

As Multi-armed King Kong advanced, it got closer to the capital.

Ou Yangming did not ask the king kong to move as fast as a violent storm, but he did not purposely ask it to slow down too.

Apart from expressing his att.i.tude, he was also doing this because he planned to pressure the capital from all directions.

All of a sudden, the goshawk in the sky swooped down excitedly.

“Master, a human powerhouse is blocking your path in front. I’ll take care of him for you,” it informed Ou Yangming in high spirits.

Ever since the goshawk was subdued by Ou Yangming, other than contributing during the Insects’ fight, it did not accomplish anything else. As for the fight against the spirit turtle on the beach, its performance was inferior to Multi-armed King Kong. Therefore, the spirit bird was unwilling to miss any chance to prove itself.

Needless to say, the goshawk was not a fool, and it did not want to infuriate Ou Yangming. Thus, it did not attack recklessly when it noticed an equal-ranked human powerhouse obstructing the path ahead, and it flew down to ask for the young fellow’s instructions.

“A human powerhouse—is it a Spirit Grade powerhouse?” Ou Yangming asked.

He figured that the goshawk could not have been so eager to deal with a Supreme Great Ancestor.

Sure enough, the goshawk nodded and answered, “Master, you’re wise.”

Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes lit up. “Master, that fella can just provide you the information; let me handle the fighting!”

Big Yellow barked as it was displeased.

‘The two of you can be a detective and a mount, respectively. I’ve been so bored from staying here that my bones are about to fall apart.’

Hong Feiyu’s face changed, and he thought, ‘The 3 spirit beasts have expressed themselves, so I can’t show a weak impression!’

He went forward and bowed as he suggested, “Brother Ou, I haven’t made the slightest contribution ever since I followed you, so how about you let me settle this problem for you this time?”

Ou Yangming looked speechlessly at them. ‘A bunch of fellas that only use their forces to kill is truly distressing.

‘Forget about the 3 spirit beasts—why is Hong Feiyu getting in on the action…’

He scoffed and said, “If I’m not mistaken, that person’s Senior Wu Yuanwei—the imperial family’s greatest powerhouse.”

“The imperial family’s greatest powerhouse?” Hong Feiyu’s eyes gleamed. “Brother Ou, since that person is here, isn’t this a perfect opportunity for us to strike first to gain the upper hand?”

Ou Yangming glanced at him and responded, “Senior Wu gave me some pointers in the past and even used the secret realm to upgrade my cultivation base from Yang Grade Cla.s.s One to the peak of Cla.s.s Five. Are you asking me to be an ungrateful person?”

Hong Feiyu’s face changed, and he smiled embarra.s.sedly. “Brother Ou, please forgive me for being too rash.”

Big Yellow looked around and immediately lay on the ground as though it never got up in the first place.

Multi-armed King Kong turned to look forward and swung its arms steadily while it walked. It was so focused that n.o.body could find fault in it at all.

As for the goshawk, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, and it dared not descend anymore.

Ou Yangming turned around with a hostile look on his face. Hong Feiyu’s back was already drenched in a cold sweat, and he quickly proposed, “Master Ou, since he’s here to block your path, I’m sure he has something to say. How about I invite him over?”

“You mustn’t treat him impolitely. Go on,” Ou Yangming answered after a moment of hesitation.

“Yes.” With that, Hong Feiyu flashed and jumped off the king kong’s back.

Multi-armed King Kong would have glared furiously at him if he normally did that, but it did not seem to have noticed at all this time, so much so that it did not peek in that direction at all.

Hong Feiyu moved at lightning speed and dashed forward.
