Chapter 145 - Inauguration (2/2)

Chi Liannu was the second disciple of the saint city lord, her clothes were thin and little, only wearing a tube top and a mini skirt that barely covered her butt – she was extremely seductive. while she chuckled melodically, "But, it's hard to say if you are out of the city, and even harder to tell when you are out to the other barrens. But, junior martial brother wouldn't leave the city so soon right?"

Zhong Yue's eyelids thumped, it was even dangerous to stay in the saint city, although the saint city lord, Shi Buyi, was now his teacher, but there was definitely no room for him in his teacher's heart!

Staying down in the saint city would be even more precarious than leaving the city!

The inauguration ceremony has finished, and the saint city lord Shi Buyi clapped his hands to summon the seneschal over and said, "Send the congratulatory gifts to the Fengbo Palace."

The seneschal lowered his head and answered, he ordered the servants to carry the gifts and indeed, Zhong Yue could see dozens of coffins in the gifts. Shi Buyi stood up, he cast his gaze over at Zhong Yue and said, "Long Yue, follow me."

Zhong Yue's heart thumped quickly as he followed behind, he was anxious and thought,  The saint city lord is asking for me, I wonder what he wants? He wouldn't possibly kill me now, after all, he has just taken me in. He still needs to save himself some face. If he kills me now, his face would surely be lost … Oh yes, he wants my [Monster God Ming King Art]!

The [Monster God Ming King Art] had a huge flaw as the part that contained the Ming King Divine Eye was lost. As one's progress in the art advances, the flaw would only become a greater impediment. At the stage where Shi Buyi stood now, it was starting to threaten his life!

All this hassle Shi Buyi went through in selecting a closed door disciple was in fact, a cover for him to acquire the complete [Monster God Ming King Art]!

After the battle on the street, Zhong Yue had killed that unknown Awakening Qi Practitioner, during which he used two Ming King Divine Eyes — one was the sun pupil while the other moon pupil. These two divine eyes were exceptionally strong and powerful, and attracted the saint city lord's interest!

My sun pupil and moon pupil, although they aren't the Ming King Divine Eye, their prowess is extraordinary. They would only be better than the original Ming King divine eye! If he acquires the sun pupil and moon pupil, his prowess would increase greatly!

Zhong Yue lowered his head while following behind Shu Buyi,  But, it's impossible to cultivate the sun pupil and moon pupil without the sun spirit and moon spirit. Even if I've taught him the arts of sun pupil and moon pupil, he wouldn't be able to learn it either. So then, I shall give them to him, the more efforts he spent on the moon spirit and sun spirit, the more time he will waste, and the more time I can earn for humanity!

Saint city lord's manor, in the empty main palace, Shu Buyi placed his hands on the back and stared longingly at the murals on the palace wall, not saying a word.

Zhong Yue stood behind the monster magnate, and he also looked at the murals — paintings that depicted the ancient history of the monster race.

In the murals, the monsters were bullied and enslaved. The enormous gods stood high in the lofty sky, their countenances were vague and blurred while below them were the petty and low monsters. Despite all the worshipping and offerings, one of the gods reached out his hand and clenched a handful of monsters before callously throwing them into his mouth.

While the other monsters were trembling in fear and terror, they dared not run nor recede, and they were just beside watching as their people were eaten as food by the gods.

Then the paintings changed, the second mural was the uprising of the monsters. Monster gods and the other gods fought a bone-rattling battle — the dragon god loomed in the clouds, the phoenix god emerged within the fiery flames, countless monsters contorted their faces in anger, and mustered their strengths in insurrection against the heavens. Their grueling war with the gods was illustrated in the blood-soaked land and its sanguine reflection against the crimson sky.

The third mural was the massacre and repression of the monster race. The monster gods were killed and it was then that the monster emperor emerged. The monster emperor carried on the battle with the gods.

And in the fourth mural, the monster race's emperor signed a treaty with the gods, earning the monsters a place in the world and their own statues. But the monster race was heavily impaired after all the battles – they were now weak and fragile.

However, through the treaty, the monsters had earned their place, they could now stand up high as they had escaped their prison of being the inferior race. It was then where the tables shifted and they started to enslave the humans.

While in the fifth mural, the ancestors of the monster race opened a path and claimed the land of East Barren and built the Xian Kong Saint City on top of the Black Mountain. They enslaved and raised the humans on this land to offer them to their monster gods.

One mural after another, Zhong Yue witnessed the unfolding of the magnificent history of the monster race. Although the monsters were rivals with the humans, there were many respectable and honorable existences within the monster race that emerged one after another and fought with the celestials, battling for their survival.

And to the last mural, it recorded the battle between the late saint city lord and a mother insect. That monster saint city lord died protecting the monster race while the severely wounded mother insect had seemed to escape.

If I was really a monster, my blood would've been boiling and my heart would've been filled with fighting spirit. But I'm a human; the monster race's history was indeed glorious and sensational. But what I fight for is the survival and glory of my race! We of the human race, will not be condemned as food for the monsters from the time of our births!

He said to himself,  We of humanity will return to the rightful place we should've held in the history – the leaders of all races, and the gods among gods!

"Can you see this, these, they are all our greatest ancestors of monster race!"

Shu Buyi was high-spirited, his sleeves fluttered in the wind and he whispered lowly, "This is the glorious history of our monster race! Long Yue, although half of your blood belongs to the dragon race, the other half belongs to us of the monster race! In the dragon race, you were nothing. But here, in our monster race, you can truly shine with your talents!"

He turned around and his gaze piercing into Zhong Yue's eyes like thunderbolts. He yelled, "I am, Shi Buyi, and you are my closed door disciple, and one of the top talents in our monster race! Lang Qingyun can't be trusted, he is very probably a spy from the celestial race. Lian Xin and Chi Lian are both girls while Qiu Qingshan's talent is not so good. Hence, when I die in the future, you will be the next monster overlord, the monster saint city lord that rules the whole East Barren! I will foster and train you as the next saint city lord! Whatever you can't have the in the dragon race, I will give them to you here, and all I ask for ... is your loyalty to the monster race!"
