The sun had set and the sky turned dark hours passed and Ethan's shadow slowly appeared before them.
Abigail went towards him although her strength was not fully recovered she tried her best to come towards him.
''How did it go? Are you hurt anywhere?''
she asked softly.
Ethan held her seeing that she couldn't walk properly.
''It's fine everything went well''
Abigail breathed a sigh of relief then she looked at Ethan as if she had remembered something.
''I forgot to ask your name before you go please tell me your name''
Ethan himself was surprised that he had forgotten to introduce himself a while ago.
''I'm Yue it's my pleasure to meet you''
They kept talking until they finished their dinner.
''I'll take you to the Bright City tomorrow be sure to recover fast okay''
Abigail nodded and began to rest Ethan merely looked at the sky seemingly to absorb with his thoughts.
''Both of us better rest because tomorrow our enemies will surely appear''
Dawn came to them Ethan and Abigail began to thank the crystal lions for taking care of them before continuing their journey towards Bright City. While walking outside the lion's den Ethan stopped and looked at the lion's leader.
''Oh before we go leader of the crystal lions may I know your name please''
When they first came Ethan asked his name but refused to so he thought that the great beast might have changed his mind.
The leader of the crystal lions looked at him before saying a word after that he went back to his den.
''Czar''
That's the name he said Ethan bowed at him before taking out his staff.
Ethan lets Abigail sit on his staff while he slowly manoeuvres it. For several minutes Ethan let his staff fly below the trees so that he couldn't catch some unwanted attention from the beast soaring in the sky.
''I wonder why their so much beast today it's very unusual''
Abigail said while vigilantly looking at the surroundings.
''Someone must have scared them''
Looking at Pyr Ethan merely said this.
Right when they start traveling Pyr releases his aura making all the beasts scared.
''I don't want any more hindrance to us because I do know that we have some friends to meet right''
Ethan smiled knowing what he was talking about but he eventually returned his gaze to the front.
''It seems like our friends became impatient their right in front of us''
Pyr looks happy looking at the group of people in front of them.
''Yue those people... they are the ones who captured me!''
Recognizing the symbol on their wrist Abigail felt extremely nervous she couldn't help but look at Ethan who looked so calm.
-------------------------------------------------
Ethan's interrogation towards Jericho.
''Who ordered you people to kill her!''
Ethan tightens his wind to Jericho making him scream in agony.
''I will never tell you!''
Jericho's looks determine his eyes lock on Ethan.
''Ok then I'll end you now then''
Ethan pointed his finger and a light shot from it but instead of Jericho it went directly on his storage ring smashing it and making dozens of items scattered on the ground.
''What are you doing?!''
Confused Jericho looked at him before gazing at the small blood orb that came out of his destroyed ring.
''This is the blood orb of your guild right''
Ethan picked up the blood orb in front of Jericho after a few moments he crushed it with his fist.
''Hahahaha do you know what have you done boy''
Jericho looked happy as he laughed loudly but Ethan merely slapped his face making his mouth shut.
''Of course, I knew what I did... crushing a blood orb would directly send a distress signal to your guild, so I'm just thinking of using this opportunity to know who ordered you people to kill the city princess''
After that, Ethan didn't wait for Jericho's reaction he ordered his wind to end his life.
----------------------------------------------
Back to the present time Ethan only smiled at them halting their travel.
''Yue be careful I don't what level there are but I'm sure it's beyond Nirvana level''
''There are ten three-star of Nirvana level Six first stars of Demigod level and four five stars of Demigod level''
Ethan calmly said this to her making Abigail more nervous about their situation.
Without saying anything the Nirvana cultivators dash towards them releasing powerful attacks.
''Guard!''
Fifteenth shadows appear releasing soul attacks killing the ten Nirvana cultivators instantly.
''De... Demigod expert!''
Shock filled their enemies as they looked at the fifteenth Demigods who already dashing towards them.
''Sh*t!.. retreat now!''
The remaining ten Demigods move to flee they can feel that their souls sea beginning to crumble if this continues they will surely die.
Ethan looked at them thinking ''It's really good that none of them knew soul defensive technique''
Seeing the chase had begun Ethan signalled Igor to come towards him giving him an order.
''Igor make sure to purposely let one escape alright''
Nodding his head Igor disappeared and went to chase his enemy.
Looking at his side Ethan looked at Abigail who looked so confused right now.
''Just who on earth are you?''
Ethan only smiled at her answering,
''A traveller I'm just a traveller princess''
Boom!
Explosion echoed around the forest Ethan looked at Pyr ordering.
''Follow the one that escapes I want to make sure will find their headquarters''
Pry looked excited he went immediately leaving Ethan and Abigail.
In the depths of one of the most dangerous parts of the forest lies a hidden palace there sits a man on a high throne he's body covered with a very dangerous aura.
''Repeat what did you just report to me''
A calm intimidating voice echoed around the quiet hall making the injured Demigod shiver.
''My Lord like what you ordered as we waited in the forest until we sensed our target's presence but strangely sir they have fifteenth Demigod level corpse puppets''
''Oh corpse puppets.....heh interesting''
He looked at the man beside him asking,
''Has the city Lord made any contacts with Necromancers or alchemists?''
A man from the shadows appears and slowly shows his respect towards the man on the throne.
''My Lord I've been handling the city Lord's mansion for more than a decade and I have never seen him make any contacts towards any alchemist or even necromancer that has the level of ability to make corpse puppets''
The injured Demigod shivered even more he was so afraid that he might have angered the man on the throne.
''Indeed it is considered a taboo for an alchemist to make a poisonous pill and experiment on human flesh it is also impossible for the city Lord to associate himself with a necromancer since it would tarnish his reputation''
Another man said while he walked towards them behind him a beautiful woman with a long sword smiled warmly at them.
''Ugo it's nice to see you it seems like the city Lord's too busy that he hasn't noticed that you are gone''
The beautiful woman flirtatiously said.
Ugo on the other hand simply bows towards her showing great respect while saying,
''Miss Madelaine it seems like you have advanced to Deity level congratulations''
Hearing this Madelaine only smiled and looked at the man on the throne seemingly waiting for his response. The man on the throne shrugs his shoulders before opening his mouth to speak.
''Madeline congratulations on your advancement... Obi how's the city Lord's army have you tricked them into attacking other dark guilds''
Obi the man who stands in front of Madeline bows to show respect then he begins to answer him.
''Lord Oskar I'm glad to tell you that I have successfully tricked them into attacking other dark guilds I'm sure by now they have arrived at the headquarters of Raven Claw Guild''
Oskar smiled hearing what Obi reported to him but suddenly he sensed that an intruder as arrived he returned his gaze at the injured Demigod looking angry.
''My Lord someone just...''
''I know Ugo no need to tell me''
Oskar interrupted Ugo and went to look outside leaving Ugo and the shivering Demigod.
Seeing their leader leaving Obi and Madeline both dash to follow him.
''I didn't know someone was brave enough to pay a visit to us''
Obi playfully said as he caught up to Oskar
''Don't fool around I have sensed a very dangerous aura the moment I sense the intruder''
Oskar looked extremely cautious the energy he had sensed a moment ago greatly alerted him.
The three of them hurried until they saw a group of people.
''Yue are you sure about this it's too dangerous to come here like this''
Abigail looked worried but she still followed Ethan all of a sudden three intimidating people appeared...
''So two ants came here to die''
Madelaine was about to attack but was stopped by Obi.
''Lord Oskar said he has sensed a very dangerous aura we better be careful with everything we do''
''Tsk let go of me you overly cautious jerk''
Oskar looks at Ethan before focusing his sight on Abigail.
''It seems like I don't need to look for you to think you will personally come here''
Oskar released his threatening aura sending Ethan and Abigail away.
''Heh I expect nothing less from the Lord of the Bloody Gate Guild''
Ethan said while trying his best to stand up but only to be pinned on the ground by Oskar's domineering power.
''Hmph!''
Another strong force came and collided with Oskar's strength making Obi and Madeline shocked.
''So your the bastard I'm looking for''
A mysterious man showed himself and made the three strongest members of Bloody Gate cautious.
''It's you the Lord of Bright City Fa Killian'' Oskar look serious as he sends a voice transmission with his two followers to alert the entire guild.
''Thank you young man for sending your little friend to warn us about this place''
Killian said while helping her daughter to stand up.
Still injured Ethan merely smiled at him then a small figure jumped to his head.
''Pyr!''
Looking quite displeased that he can't join the fight Pyr pokes Ethan's wounds making him roll on the ground.
''Well kid leave the rest to me''
Taking his daughter to save, Killian shows his domineering power and his large army making the bloody gate guild reduce to ashes.
While feeling amazed at how fast they exterminate the dark guild two beautiful twins caught his eye.
''This girl is at least capable of fighting low-class God those three Deities don't stand against them''
Ethan thought to himself as he looked at the twin girls behind Killian.
Another explosion happened making the scene hellish.
''To think you would hide your strength so well that even I would've known that you have advanced to this level'' Oskar puked a mouthful of blood his injuries became worse but he couldn't do anything knowing that even the three of them couldn't win against Killian's force.
''Oskar I did lose to you decades ago but ever since then I've increased my training by many folds just to beat you''
Killian raises his hand and a giant flame sword the size of a small island appears smashing towards Oskar.
''Since I'm going to die I'll give my one last attack''
Oskar's entire body was engulfed by a Scarlett flame creating a large fierce dragon intercepting Killian's attack.
''My lord!''
Obi and Madelaine both rushed to Oskar's side but were blocked by the twins.
The sword pierced through the flame dragon before diving towards Oskar burning even his soul and ending the war that was happening.
A few hours passed the remaining members of the dark guild were captured and locked in jails they had to wait for their trial.
A celebration happened to celebrate the city princess who safely returned with his father.
''Boy how about joining my ranks I can give you many treasures just be my subordinate''
Killian said while joyfully eating with his daughter.
''I'm sorry Lord Killian but I need to go after this''
Ethan simply bows to him while receiving another cup of beer.
''Hmmnn then I should at least give you something what is it that you what tell me as long it's within my ability I can give it to you''
Ethan declined at first but Killian insisted.
''Well there is one that I wanted''
The sound of metal echoed in Ethan's ears as he looked at the giant armored train.
''There are so many people here'' Ethan thought looking at the densely pack people who would walk around him.
''Excuse me you must be Sir Yue right I'm Rachel I'm the one to guide you to your seat''
A woman came towards Ethan leading him towards the train.
''Sir this is your seat please call me if you need anything''
Ethan went inside seeing that Rachel already left.
''What the heck you said that this is my seat but this so-called seat is at least the size of a five-person room''
Ethan only shakes his head sitting on the soft comfy sofa as he starts cultivating again.
