Chapter 489 (2/2)

The mighty crowd of World Deities escorted Xue Ying and the others into the city.

Two figures were currently standing side by side in the starry sky outside Eastern Region City. These figures belonged to a yellow-robed woman and a silver-robed man respectively. The face of the latter seemed to be covered in various unique patterns.

“He especially called out my name outside the city during the initial welcome.” The yellow-robed Venomous Ying World Deity sneered. “This Dong Bo Xue Ying has not arrived with friendly intents. You’ve come to fight with me, but do you really think I’m afraid? Big Brother, you’ve been at the side of His Majesty for so many years, and some of your good friends are also under him. Can’t you make use of your relations to bring some of them over to this side?”

“Little sister,” the silver-robed man helplessly began, replying from the side, “I really am quite close with those brothers of mine. Even the officers in charge of the official positions have to show me some respect. In fact, you’d be fine even if you were to fight General Mo and the others! However, the one you’re facing this time around is His Highness, Dong Bo.

“General Mo and these other people have been stationed in Eastern Region for such a long time, and they aren’t qualified to meet His Majesty. Naturally, you’re already aware of this.” The silver-robed male shook his head. “But Dong Bo is different. He is one of His Majesty’s personal disciples, and he can directly contact His Majesty and report to him at any time! More importantly, his potential is incredible, seeing how he is already a stage two World Deity. It’s likely that he’ll be able to become a stage four World Deity within a million years. What officers would dare offend a stage four World Deity?”

The gap between any stage three and stage four World Deity was as vast as the one between the heaven and the earth!

While there were dozens of stage three World Deities throughout the Calm Sea Prefecture, there was only a single stage four World Deity stationed there!

“Little sister, forget this matter,” the silver-robed man continued. “I’ll approach some of my friends and ask them to talk to Dong Bo. I’ll try to find some way to dissolve this issue.”

The yellow-robed Venomous Ying World Deity gritted her teeth. She hesitated slightly before replying, clearly at a loss, “Do you really think this matter can be dissolved at this point?”

“We can try, at least,” the silver-robed man advised.

“The way I see it, there’s not much of a chance,” the Venomous Ying World Deity coldly replied. “Hmph, I am still a rank five official and also a member of the Bloodshed God Palace. Does he have any way to touch me? Even if he were a stage four World Deity, he would still not be qualified to attack and kill me directly. Should he truly force my hand, I have my own way to survive.”

The Bloodshed God Palace had its own rules in place. Just having huge combat power would not allow one to casually kill as they pleased.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying is certainly going to charge up to the skies, so how can hope to confront him?” The silver-robed man shook his head. “Whatever, just remember not to fight him. Let me think of a solution. For now, just stay away from him.”

“Big brother, you go ahead and find your solution.” The yellow-robed Venomous Ying World Deity laughed coldly. “I’ll lower my head for now, but if he doesn’t show me any face… Hmph, hmph! I’ve my own way to handle this problem.”

“You…” The silver-robed man simply shook his head.

This man was trying his best to think up a way to defuse the situation. His nature was clearly more amiable, or his network of friends would never have grown so vast. He even sought a way to completely dissolve this enmity.

There were many guests who had come over to welcome Xue Ying. Naturally, the number of gifts he received had also piled up to form a venerable mountain.

Everyone was already aware of this supervisor envoy, and they knew he was different from those in the past. His backing was truly solid, his potential great. Because of that, the gifts they sent over had to be similarly weighty.

The welcoming ceremony soon ended, and Xue Ying’s group returned to the residence reserved to the supervisor envoy. Xue Ying, Qu Cheng, Senior Disciple Brothers Ge Bai and He Fei Yun, and Xi Wei could all be seen in the main hall.

“Qu Cheng, make the arrangements for hiring personal guards. I’ll be starting tomorrow,” Xue Ying ordered. “Everyone must be a peak Deity at the very least, and there’s no limit to how many World Deities we may accept.”

Even if they exceeded the number of positions he had, he could still receive them as guests! After all, not all World Deities were willing to be part of the legion, with several of them simply wishing to find some good backing for themselves. Xue Ying was a naturally good target for such people, since it would not be long before he was set to become a stage four World Deity.

“Yes.” World Deity Qu Cheng respectfully acknowledged.

“Mn.” Xue Ying nodded. “Go on, then.”

World Deity Qu Cheng retreated.

Xue Ying then looked toward Xi Wei, who was standing to his side, and laughed. “Xi Wei, there’s a matter I’ll have to trouble you with as well.”

“Your Highness, please give me your orders.” Xi Wei was also one of Xue Ying’s followers now.
