Ethan opened his eyes and saw the two kids looking at him.
''What's the matter?''
''Mister are you cultivating?'' the little girl asked him.
''Yes I am and please don't call me mister I'm only thirteen you know call me brother instead''
The two kids nod their heads Ethan stands up and prepares some snacks for them.
''Brother may I know your name?'' the little boy said.
Ethan laughs and answers him ''I'm Yue but you can call me Big Brother if you want...wait I haven't know your name as well''
''Big brother my name is Luca.... I'm only eight years old while my sister is ten''
''Well...my name is Lucia thank you for saving us''
''I see Luca and Lucia let's eat some snacks now'' Ethan put down their snack and began to munch them.
After talking and playing with those kids Ethan let them sleep.
''How long are you going to hide there?'' Ethan said while looking at the window slowly a man came out of it looking rag and pitiful but his eyes were alive and prideful.
''How long have you known I was there?''
''Since the kids went inside my room you were following them''
''I just want to make sure that they're safe''
''Don't worry I got them''
''Heh, I'll be seeing that now'' the man released a powerful while Ethan began to activate his flames to protect himself and the kids behind him.
Seeing what he did the man stopped releasing his aura and looked at Ethan.
''It seems like you do care about them'' the man said while slowly walking towards them.
''What do you want'' Ethan looked at him watching every move he made.
''I want to watch the kids until those lunatics from the Wei family are gone'' he said.
''Well you guys can stay here until I arrive at my destination but when my stop came I might not be able to help you out'' After saying this Ethan went towards the kids taking them on one of the beds inside his room.
''Heh like hell I need you'' the man mumbled but he suddenly fell from his seat he looked up and saw a small salamander looking down at him.
Confused with it the man tries to touch the small salamander but no matter what he does he just can't catch the small beast.
''He's fast'' he thought.
''Hey what are you doing'' Ethan finally came out of the room seeing the mess happened to his room he couldn't help but ask.
Embarrassed for what he had done the man simply scratched the back of his head.
''Well I just stumbled on my feet and this is what happened....well I'll just fix it'' he hurriedly starts cleaning the room.
''Serves him right'' Pyr suddenly appears and whispers to Ethan's ear.
Startled Ethan looked at Pyr asking ''Did you make him do this?''
Looking smug Pyr replies to him ''He's so arrogant yet he can't even catch a small creature let him clean everything like a slave''
A few moments later the man finally finished cleaning up.
''Now that you are done cleaning your mess shall we introduce each other I'm interested in how you ended up here''
The man glares at Ethan but he still can't believe that he can't catch a small beast.
''My name is Ken that's all''
''Okay Ken I'm Yue my destination is the city of alchemy''
''Are you also competing for the pill competition'' Ken asked.
''Yes I am...now that I remember the kids mentioned an alchemist buying them''
''Yeah that alchemist is Wei Otis the young master of the Wei family''
Ethan looks at him he has already heard about Wei Otis from Mila.
Otis was a rare genius for the Wei family his hunger for knowledge and new recipes made his name famous.
''That guy use so much life just to make a single pill and he keep blabbering that it was our honor to be used by him if only I had a chance I'll definitely kill him'' Ken said while clenching his fist.
Ethan looks closer at him realizing that his body seems to have a powerful seal.
''Your body has a powerful seal on it...where did you get it''
''The right question is who put it'' then Ken sat down on the sofa saying ''It was put to me by a certain man because of that I lost almost all of my powers''
''So how did you end up here?'' Ethan asked while bringing a wine towards him.
''After my power was sealed I ended up wandering around the four continents looking for ways to break it then I ended up being captured by the Wei family as a human test subject''
''Your life sounds so much trouble Ken I better distance myself from you'' Ethan said while making several inches away from Ken.
''Shut up will ya'' Ken threw a pillow beside him hitting Ethan's head.
The both of them keep on bickering at each other until their attention shift towards the door.
''We got company from some bastards'' Ken stood up and walked closer to the door.
Ethan also stood up and walked towards the door after a few seconds someone started to knock on the door.
Ken was about to open the door when Ethan stopped him.
''Wait for a bit'' he said after a few seconds Ethan finally opened the door.
Three Nirvana-level cultivators came to his sight.
''Good evening sir our master wants to apologize for the inconvenience brought out by our slaves.... because of that our master wants to give you a small compensation after we take the slaves back'' one of the three Nirvana cultivators said.
''No need to apologize take your money back I don't need it and as for the slaves they will stay here'' Ethan threw a small storage ring full of vital coins towards them.
''From now on this slave our mine tell that to your master'' After that Ethan slams the door at the three Nirvana cultivators.
''Those punks sure want us back'' Ken came out from the back of the door looking quite vicious.
''They might come again since you guys have the knowledge of the human experiment Otis had done''
''Yeah it will definitely destroy his good image''
''Ken let's draw them out'' Ethan walked closer to the window looking at the next station.
At the same time, Otis looks at his servants while holding a young girl forcing her to eat the pill he had made.
''Hehehehe looks like some punk is looking for trouble.....keep an eye on him okay'' he calmly said while fixing his gaze at the girl in front of him.
Hearing his order those three Nirvana cultivators disappear to fulfill his wish.
In the vast sky two individuals are moving towards a prosperous city it was Oldman Chen and Ignatius. Like a missile, the two of them hit the wall of a huge defensive formation surrounding a mountain.
''Hpmh!''
The defensive formation that can rebel against the attacks of fifty Deities crumbles before Chen Xiang and Ignatius.
''Lin come out we came to pay a visit to ya!'' Chen shouted which echoed throughout the mountain.
''Such a noisy ruckus....Chen, you better make sure this is worth my time'' A middle-aged man slowly made his appearance he gave a smile of interest towards the two.
''Now then Lin come with us!'' Oldman Chen loudly said.
Lin only looked at them before launching a gigantic cobra at his two friends.
''Why do we always get into a fight whenever we meet each other'' Ignatius said but thinking he did the same he couldn't but laugh.
The cobra enlarged itself big enough to be compared to the mountain they were in.
''This is becoming much of a drag than I expected Chen leave this to me'' Ignatius came forward and lunch himself towards the flame cobra with great speed he punched it straight to its head.
The shock of his punch flattened the trees and the rocks on the mountain all of which alert the citizens and high-ranking people in the city.
''This thing is sturdy'' Ignatius realised when he couldn't leave a scratch towards the flame cobra.
Slowly the cobra extended its body now its head already touched the sky. Ignatius looks at the ground feeling a massive energy coming from it. The mountain shook from the tremor of power as an armored warrior came and held the cobra making it look like a staff.
The entire city felt amazed looking at a green warrior holding a snake staff.
''It's lord Lin!''
''He already came out from his seclusion!''
''Everyone it's lord Lin!''
Cheers from the people echoed throughout the city everyone vacated what they doing and continued to watch the duel between the former lord of the city.
Inside the City Lord's mansion, the City Lord stared at the fight going on at the mountain and couldn't help but activate the defensive formation of the entire city but then he saw a figure that enveloped the city with strong majestic flames.
''It's phoenix flame'' the city Lord mumbled knowing that person was Chen Xiang the head of the Chen family.
''To think that this flame can protect the entire city'' his right hand Alvin amazingly said.
The flames surrounding the entire city were put there by Oldman Chen to lessen the impact of the battle which made the people more enthusiastic to watch the fight.
The green warrior held the snake staff and summoned a large quantity of essence qi.
''Is he planning on killing me?'' Ignatius thought while looking at the snake staff which began to open its mouth.
Bang!
A high-intensity flame blasts from the mouth of the snake making its way to Ignatius.
Hua!
The heat from it even breached the flame barrier Oldman Chen made. The people who felt the heat suddenly became excited since they got to see a fight like this.
The flame seized and a figure remained standing there it was Ignatius he kept looking at the green warrior and knew it was not done yet.
Whoosh!
The emerald warrior disappears along with Ignatius.
Bom!
The two suddenly have a sword fight creating huge shocks that almost destroy the nearby mountains.
The sky roared with an explosion while the ground bore the tremor the world became chaotic once again but no one complaint excitement filled them instead.
''Strange that Lin still hides in the mountain is he planning on using it'' Oldman Chen thought while observing the battle.
''My lord can you see what's happening?'' Alvin asks respectfully he's eyes can't keep up with the movements of Ignatius and the emerald warrior.
''They having a serious sword fight and that man fighting the Colossus emerald warrior is winning'' the city Lord calmly said.
Bang!
The snake staff was knocked away by Ignatius who used his fist to send the emerald warrior back to the mountain.
''Oh, he finally appears'' Oldman Chen exclaimed as he looked at the figure who held the back of the colossus emerald warrior which in comparison much smaller than the warrior.
Lin held the back of his flame colossus emerald warrior. Its gigantic body is full of cracks from the fight with Ignatius.
''You finally appeared Lin'' Ignatius loudly said to make sure he would be heard since the distance between them was huge.
Lin merely sighed and snapped his finger out of nowhere green gigantic warriors appeared all of which held chains.
Clang!
Simultaneously those warriors began to chain Ignatius strangely he didn't dodge it.
''Lin you lunatic are trying to kill me!'' Ignatius couldn't but shout since his body was bound with snakes now he wouldn't be able to defend himself from the chains that were nearing his body.
''Lin has so many tricks no matter what he's got one card and another went it fails''
Observing the chains that seemed to be a cocoon from the sky Oldman Chen spoke again.
''But when it comes to skill and purity of technique then Ignatius is way higher''
Crack!
The chains that bind Ignatius crumble to pieces as a powerful slash destroys the emerald warriors that surround him.
Beautiful golden red wings accompanied his back which gave off the feeling of elegance and awe-spiring might.
''Now the great bird finally unleashed his wings what will you do serpent king'' Oldman Chen mumbled when he noticed the great concentration of essence qi.
''It is about to end'' cried the city Lord and everyone inside the City felt the overpowering pressure that it was finally coming to an end.
Who will win then, no one tries to blink afraid that they might miss something as the two great cultivators begin to move.
Hum!
Lin finally moved from his hand an emerald staff similar to the emerald warrior came out.
Their auras clash creating a very potent strength strong enough to kill everyone in the city.
Lin's emerald staff bewitched with green flame molding like a snake move towards Ignatius's sword which engulfs with blazing flames an aura that can be compared to the king of the sky.
The mighty bird versus the serpent king, Ignatius's sword which blazes with golden flame came in contact with Lin's emerald staff as everyone expected destruction would happen.
Dazzling scarlet flame rose from the ground creating a powerful barrier to protect everything from the impact.
The barrier shook from the tremor the clash between the two energies almost spit the ground apart and tore the sky thankfully a barrier was there.
Slowly when everything subsides two figures descend towards them the barrier that envelopes the city dissolves as the two cultivators step on the ground.
''Yey!''
''Did you see that attack that was awesome!''
''Lord Lin is amazing!''
''That man is cool he can stand toe to toe with lord Lin!''
Cheers echoed throughout the city they welcomed the three with boastful cries. The mansion of the city Lord opened to welcome its guests the citizens made way for them as cheers didn't cease.
''Lin you made that spectacle to remove the anxiety that everyone is feeling right?'' Oldman Chen spoke breaking the silence between them.
''Yes I did, I want them to regain their trust towards us the war is nearing either it's the gods or the demons of neither realm they must never lose the trust and hope they had. Showing them our might will help them remove the anxiety that they have since I don't want our enemies to use this emotion to divide us''
''That fight between us will surely wake the others I'm sure they will come here shortly'' Ignatius said while finally entering the mansion.
''Then we will wait it's time for us now to be united'' Lin declares knowing that those gods and demons keep looking for trouble.
