"Hmph."
Chen Fan smiled slightly. "You can go, but..."
Tinuk’s heart tensed.
Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "You're a dangerous guy. If you want to stay in Wenlan City, I need to know your location. Or, you can leave."
He had no intention of attacking Tinuk.
His greatest enemy was the Holy Emperor. Chen Fan didn't have many thoughts about Tinuk.
"...Fine."
It was good that he wasn't attacked.
Tinuk told Chen Fan his location. "I'll be staying in Wenlan City for a while longer."
"Mm."
Chen Fan didn't force him to leave, just added a reminder: "Don't create your clones in Wenlan City. If you want to, go after the Angels' Holy Assembly. You have a feud with them anyway."
"Haha, I know. I'm leaving..."
Tinuk stood up and left with a flourish.
Chen Fan glanced at Huomo, then stood up and left, with Hong Si following behind.
Tap, tap, tap.
Huomo trotted along behind them.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Fan was speechless. "It's over now. You can go. No one will care what you do, as long as you don't cause trouble in Wenlan City."
Huomo looked bewildered. "Didn't you just agree to let me follow you?"
"..."
Chen Fan slapped his forehead.
Damn it.
He forgot about that.
Looking at Huomo's earnest expression.
Chen Fan: "..."
Alright, if she wants to follow, let her.
...
Eastern Manor.
The Qin family army had been dispatched to search for Huomo.
Now that Huomo had been found, they were recalled.
The Qin family army was reassembled.
These individuals might not be very strong on their own, but when they formed an army, their combat power was enough to shock everyone.
"City Lord."
Lan Kuang stepped forward.
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded. "I'm going to rest. You arrange everything else. Oh, right..."
He pointed to the little girl beside him. "This is Huomo. You arrange for her too."
"..."
Lan Kuang's face instantly turned pale.
Huomo.
That ancient beast that escaped from the Fire Prison?
Why did the City Lord bring her back?
No, wait...
Why is she such a harmless little girl?
Ignoring Lan Kuang's internal turmoil, Chen Fan went straight back to his room.
As soon as Chen Fan left, Huomo let loose and said obsequiously to Lan Kuang, "Big Brother, I want to eat delicious food."
Big Brother... Lan Kuang felt completely unwell.
Meeting her big, watery eyes, Lan Kuang's tension slowly eased. "What do you want to eat? There are chefs in the manor. You can eat anything you want."
"Really?"
Little stars appeared in Huomo's eyes.
After taking Huomo to the kitchen, Lan Kuang was perplexed.
Was this really Huomo?
He didn't quite believe it, but he couldn't doubt the City Lord.
Forget it, he wouldn't think about it anymore.
It was fortunate he hadn't told the chefs about her identity, or they would have been terrified.
...
The Angels' Holy Assembly.
When half of the Holy Emperor's soul appeared in the Holy Hall, the Holy Emperor nearly exploded on the spot.
A hundred years of planning had failed just like that.
"Boom."
The souls, separated for a hundred years, finally merged.
The moment they fused.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky.
An aura of world destruction surged out from the Holy Hall into the sky, disrupting the rain clouds.
All the powerful individuals who sensed the Holy Emperor's aura looked up at the supreme Holy Hall.
"The Holy Emperor has broken through again," the First Red Cardinal lamented.
The Angels' Holy Assembly had been experiencing bad luck recently.
Fortunately, the Holy Emperor was still here, and his cultivation had broken through.
He was the true pillar of support.
With the Holy Emperor present, the Angels' Holy Assembly would not face any problems.
"Buzz."
At this moment, a voice entered the Holy Emperor's ear: "Failed?"
The Holy Emperor suppressed his aura, his expression terrifyingly grim, and nodded. "Failed."
The Old Holy Emperor: "..."
If he had succeeded, the current Holy Emperor might have become the first Supreme of Dameria.
Even in failure, with only half of his soul returned, the Holy Emperor's aura was already infinitely close to the Supreme realm.
He already possessed the unique dao charm of a Supreme, just a step away.
At the same time.
On the distant Dark Holy Mountain.
A sigh echoed from the blood pool: "The old fellow really has luck. Well, since that's the case, I must also prepare for the final step."
The fusion of the Holy Emperor's two souls acted as a catalyst.
It forced everyone to take that final step.
Otherwise, annihilation would be imminent.
The Skeleton Society, the Skeleton King, awoke from his slumber, glanced in the direction of the Holy Mountain, and then sank back into dormancy.
The Demon Beast Legion.
The demon beast legion that had landed was stationed near the South Sea.
For several days, the entire South Sea had been shrouded in a dense mist.
No one knew what was happening inside.
Powerful auras were hidden beneath the dense fog.
The Radiant Society had vanished.
The six major powers had been reduced to five.
Among the five powers, the Angels' Holy Assembly occupied the center.
The Demon Beast Legion occupied the South Sea and the southern territories. This powerful legion rarely came ashore, but the moment they did, they occupied a vast swathe of land.
The Dark Church was in the north.
The Skeleton Society was in the west.
The east, which was originally the territory of the Radiant Society, had now become Wenlan City.
...
At this moment, within Wenlan City, at the Eastern Manor.
Chen Fan sensed the Holy Emperor's aura, his expression somewhat grim.
"Is he that strong?" Chen Fan murmured softly.
Everyone was progressing, but he alone remained at the Half-Supreme realm.
His realm was not low, but compared to the Holy Emperor, he still seemed a step behind.
He could feel the interwoven dao charm in the aura emanating from the Holy Emperor.
The same Half-Supreme realm, in layman's terms.
