Chapter 976 - 498: 100,000 Divine Power, Activate the Infinite Domain! (Part 3)

"Also, you should speak more respectfully to me."

"If you anger me, the consequences could be quite serious~"

Zigu Yi furrowed his brow, "Madeleine, what do you mean?"

"According to the rules of the Land of Divine War, hatred between two races should be resolved by the parties involved."

"Are you here to stand up for Moya now?"

His tone carried a hint of malice.

Equally top-ranking deities, Zigu Yi was among the strongest and most hot-tempered.

However, the Painful Empress was completely unafraid of his threats, covering her face with a laugh.

"What does the rules of the Land of Divine War have to do with me?"

"I only know that Moya is a little pet that I managed to capture with great effort."

"If you really want to trouble him, why didn’t you act before me, why wait until after I brought Moya back to Silent City to come and demand an explanation?"

"Could it be that you, Zigu Yi, are afraid of something, and therefore didn’t dare to act?"

In the sky, the gigantic purple stump’s face changed color.

Zigu Yi immediately retorted, "Hmph! I was in seclusion before, and only when I emerged did I find out that Borco had been killed by Moya!"

"Just as I was about to act, I received news that Moya had already been taken back to Silent City by you."

He explained impatiently.

The Painful Empress chuckled again, "Hehehe~ So that’s how it is."

"Let’s just say it like that."

"But, Zigu Yi, I think you’ve got something wrong."

"Moya did not break through to the High-tier Divine Spirit; he doesn’t even possess the strength of the Middle-tier Divine Spirit Level, so how could he have killed Borco?"

Upon hearing this, Zigu Yi furrowed his brow.

He also sensed that something seemed off about Moya’s aura.

The reports said Moya had already ascended to a High-tier Divine Spirit.

However, now, there is no sign of a High-tier Divine Spirit’s aura, not even that of a Low-tier Divine Spirit.

Moreover, he seemed to still carry hints of injury.

This greatly contradicts Zigu Yi’s intel.

Zigu Yi furrowed his brow and asked, "Moya, what is going on?"

"Was Borco of my race not killed by you?"

Below, Samoyed certainly wouldn’t admit to it and replied, "It definitely wasn’t me who killed him!"

"I’m just a Middle-tier Divine Spirit, how could I possibly have defeated Borco?"

Zigu Yi continued asking, "Then what about your injuries, what’s the story there?"

This question left Samoyed momentarily at a loss for words.

Zigu Yi’s pupils shifted; he seemed to understand something.

"Madeleine, was my race’s Borco killed by you?"

"You saw Borco’s fight with Moya."

"Then you suddenly struck, first killing Borco, then injuring Moya, and took the opportunity to capture him, didn’t you?"

The Painful Empress laughed again, "Zigu Yi, you have quite the imagination."

"However, I must inform you, I have never met your race’s Borco, nor was it I who killed him."

Zigu Yi remained skeptical upon hearing this, furrowing his brow, "If that’s the case, then return Moya to me."

"I’ll take him to my race’s territory for questioning and ensure he’s not a problem before returning him to you."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the Painful Empress’s face vanished, replaced by a cold expression, "Zigu Yi, you know Moya is my little pet."

"You want me to hand Moya over to you; do you truly believe that you can intimidate me?"

Upon speaking, a terrifying divine power erupted from the Painful Empress.

Within a million-mile radius, throughout the ’City of Wails,’ a dense red spider web appeared.

This web directly enveloped the Painful Tree Demon’s body entirely.

Zigu Yi hadn’t anticipated that the Painful Empress would change so quickly, acting as soon as she spoke.

But he was not a patient sort either; at once, a burst of purple divine power exploded from him!

The two opposing divine powers began clashing.

The terrifying energy fluctuations even caused the powerful figures across Silent City to sense them!

"Madeleine, don’t be so ungrateful after accepting favors!"

"Despite being equals amongst top-tier divine spirits, your skills in direct combat aren’t a match for mine. Should you choose to wage war against me, you are sure to be the one who loses!"

At this moment, the Painful Empress didn’t reply.

Instead, an aura of cruelty, pain, and malice gradually emanated from her body.

This aura faintly overwhelmed the Evil Ghost Tree Demon, causing the little spiders in the City of Wails to look at their Empress with terror.

In Silent City, there was not a single top-tier divine spirit who was a pushover.

The Painful Empress licked her lips, then chuckled, "Zigu Yi, you have angered me!"

"I will surely bind you within the spider web, tear you apart bit by bit, and then devour you."

Those familiar with the Painful Empress knew she was now in a state of Anger.

She was like a jungle hunter, having locked onto her target.

Meanwhile, deep within Zigu Yi’s heart rose a sense of dread.

Initially set on launching a divine spirit battle, Madeleine suddenly heard a voice transmission.

"Madeleine, apart from Zigu Yi, how many spirits does this Evil Ghost Tree Demon Race have in the Silent City?"

The aura emanating from the Painful Empress suddenly paused, and she transmitted back, "Master, the Evil Ghost Tree Demon Race is relatively formidable; when I returned, I sensed around five spirits in Silent City."

"However, their strength isn’t significant, at most Middle-tier Divine Spirit Level."

Upon hearing this, Han Xing’s heart stirred.

He rapidly analyzed in his mind and already formed a plan.
