At this moment, countless transcendents in Central City raised their heads in horror!
The ability to alter the weather was a hallmark of Sequence 4!
But this was Central City. Who would dare to be so reckless here?
Rumble!
Dark clouds pressed down heavily over Wannian Platform, a clear testament to Huang Quan's fury.
“Look at you. What's wrong with me just having a little look around?”
Mr. Gong's tone remained as gentle as ever, but his companion beside him was nearly scared to death.
After all, given Mr. Gong's strength, he could certainly escape from Huang Quan on his own, but it was absolutely impossible for him to escape with his companion in tow.
Huang Quan's voice shifted to that of an old man.
“Gong Bei, you are as reckless as ever!”
“Hahaha—”
Mr. Gong laughed.
“What do you mean reckless? Huang Quan, we are both Sequence 3. You know better than I do what the consequences would be if we truly fought.”
“This is Central City. Your Central City.”
Hearing this, Huang Quan waved his hand. A red light flew in from the distance and landed precisely in his grasp.
When he saw what it was, Mr. Gong's expression shifted for the first time.
The companion beside him grew even more anxious and cried out:
“It's Huang Quan's sealed object, the Asura Platform!”
“This thing can forcibly drag both sides into another dimension. Only the survivor can walk out of it!”
Huang Quan sneered upon hearing this.
“Asura Platform? What a terrible name. But you two certainly know a lot.”
“Well, Gong Bei? Can you still use the citizens of Central City to threaten me now?”
Mr. Gong shrugged.
“How can you call it a threat? I was merely weighing the pros and cons for you. If you don't like it, just pretend I never said anything.”
He turned to leave as soon as he finished speaking, but the aura radiating from Huang Quan grew increasingly powerful.
“Coming and going as you please... Aren't you taking me a bit too lightly?”
“If you don't leave something behind today, what will others think of me in the future?”
Hearing this, Mr. Gong sighed. He grabbed his companion and threw him straight at Huang Quan.
This sudden betrayal left the companion utterly dumbfounded. He only reacted when he was about to fall into Huang Quan's hands, struggling desperately.
“Mr. Gong! Mr. Gong, save me!”
With a wave of Huang Quan's hand, an irresistible force of divinity reached out to seize him.
Crack, crack!
The companion began to shed his skin!
Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, a hideous monster tore through the skin, crawled out, and clawed at Huang Quan.
But before the claw could even reach its target, it snapped in midair.
From beginning to end, Huang Quan stood in place, completely motionless.
Taking advantage of this brief distraction, Mr. Gong's figure vanished, his voice echoing faintly in the wind.
“I've left an evil god for you. You won't lose face now, will you?”
...
The Sun family.
The head of the Sun family looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said:
“Central City is getting more and more chaotic. Has Xia Yitiao made any moves lately?”
“Our scouts tracking him were all shaken off.”
The butler spoke respectfully. Upon hearing this, the family head sighed with emotion:
“It's only normal that they were shaken off. After all, that's Xia Yitiao. If not for what happened back then, he would have reached Sequence 4 long ago.”
“But can I really be blamed for that incident?”
The family head looked at the butler.
“If it were you, what would you have done back then?”
“The same as you, sir.”
Hearing this, the head of the Sun family smiled and said:
“Indeed. If we hadn't handled that matter for His Majesty back then, our Sun family would never have become his trusted confidants and entered the inner circle.”
“Xia Yitiao was just too stubborn. I believe he already suspected His Majesty back then, yet he still insisted on investigating.”
“If not for his master, he would have been dead long ago.”
The butler remained silent as the family head muttered to himself:
“He must be behind the recent events at Wannian Platform.”
“This Xia Yitiao spent over a decade in the provinces, and his sharp edges have been smoothed out quite a bit.”
“Like this, he is even more terrifying than he was back then.”
“Since our people can't find him, let's leave it to the professionals.”
“Understood.”
The family head stretched lazily and said:
“If he's dead, that would be even better.”
...
Wannian Platform.
The secret room.
Qin Qian clenched his fists tightly, his expression dark.
“Wan Tianqing is like this, and Huang Quan is the same!”
“Are they mocking me by showing off their abilities so shamelessly right in front of me?”
Before him, the barely breathing 'Qin Ye' lay inside a coffin of flesh and blood.
“His internal organs have been completely replaced, so this body is still usable. However, because his last promotion failed, attempting it again will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.”
“Damn it! My soul strength is no longer sufficient to split my soul again to control a Demigod body.”
Qin Qian took another look at the coffin, then turned and walked out.
Behind him, the coffin slowly stood upright as blood vessels and nerve-like fibers wriggled forward, piercing into 'Qin Ye's' body.
Upon leaving the secret room, an old man with his hands tucked into his sleeves approached.
“Your Majesty, Bureau Chief Huang requests an audience.”
“Let him in.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After the old man went to relay the message, Huang Quan walked in.
“Mr. Huang, the sudden change in the weather outside just now... was that because you took action?”
“Yes.”
Huang Quan nodded, his expression grave.
“Your Majesty, I just spotted Gong Bei of the True Knowledge Society.”
“Gong Bei? That Sequence 3?”
“Yes.”
Qin Qian's expression grew significantly more solemn.
“What is he doing in Central City?”
“He said he wanted to tour Wannian Platform. When I attacked him, he threw a Demigod infected by an evil god at me.”
“By the time I captured the Demigod, Gong Bei had already vanished.”
Hearing this, Qin Qian's brow furrowed even deeper.
“The True Knowledge Society is indeed full of madmen. Mr. Huang, I will have to trouble you to keep a close eye on things lately.”
“It is my duty.”
...
Central City.
“Hahaha! Well, Old Wang? I wasn't bragging, was I?”
“I said we'd be able to return to Central City, and here we are!”
Su Baadao was in high spirits, and Wang Gen beside him could not hide his joy either.
“We're finally back. My daughter is so well-behaved, and Central City is crawling with punks. I was constantly worried sick while we were away.”
“I was terrified that the moment I returned, some little punk would ask me if it was safe to park his customized scooter downstairs.”
Su Baadao gave him a helpless look upon hearing this.
“Before we left, didn't I ask the director to keep an eye out for any punks for you? What are you still worrying about?”
“By the way, I'm going to visit Teacher. Are you coming?”
“Of course!”
Wang Gen replied resolutely. After all, among those who truly worked for Great Wei, who didn't look up to Wan Tianqing?
“Let's go!”
The car drove all the way to the Wan family estate.
Naturally, the guards did not block the Master's trusted disciple.
The two made their way to the study, where Wan Tianqing was reading.
Su Baadao and Wang Gen waited quietly by the side. Only after a full half hour did Wan Tianqing finally put down his book and speak.
“Good. You've grown quite a bit.”
“You're not as reckless and impatient as before.”
“You are now ready to establish yourself in Central City.”
