Chapter 2894: Golden City Lord

Chapter 2894: Chapter 2894: Golden City Lord

Inside the Golden City, the Dark Clan’s encampment.

Over a dozen strong warriors of the Dark Clan gathered together, whispering about something, the atmosphere somber and heavy.

"Those foreign strong ones, indeed, every one of them has an Innate Spiritual Root. But I didn’t expect their combat power to be so formidable. Yin Ming fell at their hands, and I barely escaped with my life..."

The speaker from the Dark Clan wore a somewhat disheveled black robe, and bore some injuries, as if he had just been through a great battle, looking extremely disheveled.

If Fang Bai, Rongrong, and other gods were present, they would sense the familiar aura from this speaking member of the Dark Clan, knowing that he was the one who barely escaped the encirclement of Rongrong and the other women’s formation by fleeing into a Black Hole.

He managed to return to the Golden City ahead of Fang Bai and the others, reporting this matter to his companions and discussing countermeasures.

"If we let them return to the Golden City, it would be troublesome to act against them."

Another member of the Dark Clan pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "We should all move out, ambush them outside the Golden City!"

Thus, over a dozen Divine Emperor Realm warriors from the Dark Clan, all hidden in black robes, surged out.

They arrived at a necessary path leading back to the Golden City, then hid in the dark corners, concealing their presence, preparing to ambush Fang Bai and Rongrong’s deities.

Their movements did not escape the insight of Tiankui, the Lord of the Golden City.

Tiankui was one of the gods under the Golden Principal God, one of the twelve Principal Gods, possessing Divine Emperor Realm strength, and responsible for managing the Golden City.

Although there was no current conflict between the Golden Principal God and the Dark Principal God, the latter’s increasingly expanding ambition had already drawn the attention of the Golden Principal God.

The many gods under the Golden Principal God had already received orders to closely monitor the Dark Clan’s strong warriors within their domain, and act immediately if they discovered any infringement on the Golden Principal God’s interests, even resorting to killing if necessary.

While the Golden Principal God did not wish to become enemies with the Dark Principal God, he certainly did not fear him. If the Dark Principal God wished to wage war, the Golden Principal God would respond with full force.

The Golden Principal God was not a member of the war faction, but leaned towards it. If he joined, it would swiftly strengthen the war faction’s power, something the Dark Principal God absolutely didn’t want to see.

So, all along, the strong warriors sent by the Dark Principal God to each Divine City under the Golden Principal God’s domain have acted quietly, avoiding infringing on the Golden Principal God’s interests, ensuring mutual peace.

Nevertheless, Tiankui, the Lord of the Golden City, did not relax his surveillance of the dozen Dark Clan’s strong warriors in his city.

He discovered the Dark Clan’s warriors went out, sitting cross-legged in the City Lord’s Hall, diffusing their Divine Sense to scout their movements.

Upon discovering Fang Bai and the other palace deities within the range of his Divine Sense, Tiankui God Emperor had a moment of understanding, knowing the Dark Clan warriors intended to waylay them.

Originally, Tiankui God Emperor could choose not to involve himself in this matter, after all, Fang Bai and the gods were foreign strong warriors, unrelated to the Golden City, and the Dark Clan’s warriors had not infringed on the city’s interests.

However, after finding out that Fang Bai and the others all had Innate Spiritual Roots, Tiankui God Emperor developed an appreciation for talent, feeling it too lamentable for them to fall into the hands of the Dark Clan warriors.

Tiankui God Emperor knew the Dark Clan’s warriors were addicted to bloodthirst, favoring the hunt of Innate Spiritual Root experts, to devour their flesh and bones to enhance their strength.

It was foreseeable that if Fang Bai and the others approached, once surrounded by the dozen Dark Clan warriors, they would be doomed.

Tiankui God Emperor furrowed his brows, promptly transmitting a message to Fang Bai and the others: "Dark Clan warriors are concealed ahead. If you wish to live, do not continue forward!"

Despite the thousands of miles, the Divine Emperor Realm expert’s transmission was heard clearly by Fang Bai and the others.

"Huh?"

Led by Fang Bai, the palace’s strong warriors paused their advance upon hearing Tiankui God Emperor’s voice, looking at one another in surprise.

"Who sent us this message?"

"He said there are Dark Clan warriors hidden ahead... Could it be true?"

"That escaped member of the Dark Clan might have returned to the Golden City early, so it could be true!"

"Regardless of whether it’s true, let’s wait before proceeding!"

...

Thus, under Fang Bai’s lead, the palace’s warriors hovered in the air, highly alert.

Simultaneously, Fang Bai released his Divine Sense to scout ahead, indeed faintly sensing the aura of the Dark Clan thousands of miles away.

Although the Dark Clan’s warriors excelled at concealment, they couldn’t escape Fang Bai’s keen detection.

However, without Tiankui God Emperor’s reminder, Fang Bai might have sensed this at a much closer range.

"You can detour, entering the city from the north. At that time, I will open a passage for you."

Tiankui God Emperor’s voice came once more.

The entire Golden City was enveloped by a massive Chaos Barrier, personally set by the Golden Principal God, one of the twelve Principal Gods.

Under normal circumstances, only one passage led into and out of the Golden City.

However, as the City’s Lord, Tiankui God Emperor had the authority to open other passages.

"Thank you for your assistance, Upper God. Fang Bai and all from the Emperor’s Palace are extremely grateful!"

By this time, Fang Bai had already deduced the identity of the one aiding them, and immediately offered a formal salute towards the direction of Golden City, thanking the Tiankui God Emperor whom he had never met.

Actually, he couldn’t quite understand why the Tiankui God Emperor would assist them, but after thinking it over, he figured it might be because the Tiankui God Emperor disapproved of the Dark Clan’s actions, thus choosing to help.

Thus, Fang Bai and the others quickly concealed their auras and took a detour from the east, avoiding the awaiting ambush of the Dark Clan’s warriors ahead.

Shortly after, Fang Bai and the others successfully entered the city from the northern side of the Golden City, returning to their rented Temple, and reunited with the Emperor’s Palace deities who stayed behind.

When Ghost Hand and the other palace deities heard how Fang Bai and the others encountered attacks from the Dark Clan warriors outside the city, they were outraged, clamoring to confront the Dark Clan warriors in the Golden City, but were dissuaded by Fang Bai.

Fang Bai said: "The Dark Clan’s strength is too formidable in this Chaos Realm, we can’t provoke them; we can only endure and bide our time. Moreover, with a God Emperor managing the Golden City, he won’t permit us and the Dark Clan warriors to battle in the city."

Ghost Hand grumbled: "But this matter can’t just be left like this, right? Those Dark Clan warriors failed this time, but might target us again!"

Fang Bai said, "As long as we don’t leave the city, they can’t do anything. Rest assured, what we’re lacking now is just time. As soon as we’re given time, our strength will keep rapidly advancing. Sooner or later, we’ll fear no Dark Clan warriors. When that time comes, we can repay them as we wish!"
