Chapter 1637: You Want To Be A Dog, But I Don’t! (1/2)

The figure manifesting in the pillar of light was actually Jiang Yuanchi, the sectmaster of the Shadow Society!

He appeared in the area where the Lightspirits were gathered.

Lightspirits carried bloodlines that contained the profound truths of light power. It was said that they had enjoyed a rather lofty status in the Void World before the Dark King of the Devils had risen to prominence.

As the Dark King had grown to show his unparalleled power, and the Devils had reached their prime, they had begun to reject and suppress the Lightspirits.

There had even been a time where they had massacred the Lightspirits.

At this moment, all of the Lightspirits were fixing Jiang Yuanchi with feverish looks.

Lightspirits had pale skin, golden hair, and feathered wings on their backs.

Unlike the Birdmen from the Spirit World, they didn’t have just one pair of feathered wings growing out of their backs. Some had multiple pairs.

After Jiang Yuanchi manifested himself in his dharma idol form, which was awe-inspiring and blindingly bright like a sun, all of the Lightspirits bowed towards him.

The two of them locked eyes.

“Nie Tian!”

“Jiang Yuanchi!”

FIZZ!

A beam of strong light seemed to suddenly drive all the darkness away from the area of the starry river between them.

Many outsiders of different races felt stabbing pain in their eyes as the uncomfortably strong light burst forth and filled the space between the two.

Even Grand Monarch Gloom Butcher of the Devils was flabbergasted, and stayed his Devil Cloud Halberd-holding hand. Face grim, he said, “I can’t believe the Lightspirits are looking at a human in such a worshiping way. Their expression and manners... They’re clearly treating that human as their leader, their high chieftain!

“It’s hard to believe while our invasion of the Mortal World has ended in failure, some human has come to our world and gained command of the Lightspirits!”

Grand Monarch Gloom Butcher was apparently upset, and shifted his focus from Nie Tian to Jiang Yuanchi without realizing it.

“Jiang Yuanchi!” Luo Wanxiang also exclaimed in shock.

He had been fighting two evil gods. After being startled by the blinding light Jiang Yuanchi had released, he looked over with rapt attention. Then, he shuddered and yelled, “The Void World is a wondrous land indeed! Even you’ve made your breakthrough here as well! I can’t believe that after me, another late God domain cultivator would be born here in the Void World!”

Many Seaspirits, Moonspirits, and members of the three major races were filled with disbelief as they gazed off at Jiang Yuanchi’s dharma idol, which was emanating endless light like a giant sun. “A human has become the Lightspirits’ new high chieftain?!”

“Jiang Yuanchi!” Luo Wanxiang yelled. “It’s very impressive that you’ve become the Lightspirits’ leader, but you’re still just one person! The Lightspirits still have to follow the leadership of the three major races! As their leader, you need to help us kill Nie Tian!”

“Hehe.” With a low, derisive laugh, Jiang Yuanchi cast Luo Wanxiang a look from afar. Then, eyes narrowed, he said with a biting tone, “You want to be their dog, but I don’t.”

Luo Wanxiang’s face turned ashen as soon as he heard these words.

There was no doubt that Jiang Yuanchi’s words had hurt him by using the worst thing he thought about himself against him.

The Devils, Netherspirits, and Bonedrudes’ expressions also flickered after they heard these words.

Grand Monarch Gloom Butcher’s face split into a nasty smile as he pointed his halberd towards the Lightspirits and Jiang Yuanchi. “Don’t tell me that you actually have the audacity to go against our orders. You may be worth fighting, but you’re not even a Lightspirit. Other than you, you don’t even have a single late tenth grade grand monarch, and you dare to stand up against us? Do you have a death wish?”

The way he saw it, like the Seaspirits and the Moonspirits, the Lightspirits were a weak race.

A weak race like them should just take orders from them and pay tribute to them on time in exchange for some living space.

Any Lightspirit, even their high chieftain, should remain humble and obedient when speaking to him, like talking to their superior.

Any Lightspirit who refused to follow his commands needed to be punished.

Jiang Yuanchi took a deep breath. “Grand Monarch Gloom Butcher, is it?”
