Before Spirit City.
Bibi Dong's body trembled uncontrollably with fear. Looking at the ten Spirit Rings surrounding the black-haired woman, she was completely stunned.
She looked at the black-haired woman, and the black-haired woman looked back at her.
Suddenly!
"Cough, cough—pfft!"
The black-haired woman suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently. Blood flowed through the gaps between her fingers, while the divine power and Spirit Rings around her collapsed in an instant. Then, utterly drained, she dropped to one knee.
Even so, she held the swaddling cloth in her arms tightly, as though what lay within was even more important than her own life.
The moment the black-haired woman's imposing aura faded, Bibi Dong broke out in cold sweat and gasped for breath. She stared at the woman before her in shock, unable to understand her intentions.
All of a sudden, a deep voice and an even more terrifying aura sounded from the distant heavens.
"Qilin, you cannot escape. Hand over Young Master Feng Xiao, and I may spare your life!"
Hearing this voice, the black-haired woman below raised her head and shouted furiously, hatred filling her eyes. "Pah! You think you deserve to call him Young Master? Young Master Feng Xiao treated you sincerely, yet you betrayed him! Even if I die today, I will never let you take Young Master away!"
As she spoke, the black-haired woman named Qilin endured the pain wracking her body and entered Spirit City.
Seeing this, a blue-haired man with a bare, muscular upper body tattooed with an Azure Dragon finally emerged from the heavens. Ten Spirit Rings also surrounded him. Although they had the same configuration as Qilin's, his strength was clearly countless times greater than hers.
Another god. Bibi Dong was now too shocked to say a word. She could only stare blankly at Qilin before her and the blue-haired man in the sky.
"Qilin, this is not betrayal. I merely chose the right side. The situation within the God Nine Sect has already been decided. Only by following the future Sect Master Xiao Feng can one survive. I am not like you, foolishly clinging to Young Master Feng Xiao until death."
Perhaps there was nothing unusual about the blue-haired man's words to others, but to Bibi Dong, they were like a bolt from the blue.
"God Nine Sect? Xiao Feng?"
At that moment, Bibi Dong recalled the genius Xiao Feng from Nuoding City, the suspected young master of a God Realm faction who had caused her to lose four Titled Elder one year ago.
Could they be the same person?
Bibi Dong forced herself to remain calm, but the blue-haired man continued.
"Most of the god elders in the God Nine Sect support Young Master Xiao Feng as the sect master's successor. No one thinks highly of Young Master Feng Xiao. Following Young Master Feng Xiao means certain death. Give up, Qilin. It is not too late to turn back. If you give up now, I can still save your life."
However, Qilin's eyes were full of disdain. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly, "In life, I belong to Young Master Feng Xiao. In death, my soul belongs to Young Master Feng Xiao! Only Young Master Feng Xiao can lead the God Nine Sect to its peak. Xiao Feng? He is nothing but a despicable villain!"
As she spoke, Qilin handed the swaddling cloth in her arms to Bibi Dong and said coldly, "Watch over my young master. If a single hair on his head is harmed, I will make you regret coming into this world."
The next moment, divine power surged from Qilin's body once more, and her ten Spirit Rings reappeared. Even Bibi Dong was shocked by the determination in her eyes. What kind of gaze was that? Resolute, unafraid even of death!
The blue-haired man in the heavens shook his head faintly. "Qilin, you are no match for me. Given your current condition, I can kill you with one hand."
"Hmph. There is no point talking. Make your move!"
Just as the two were about to fight, a sigh rang out above Spirit City.
"Stop, Azure Dragon!"
At the same time, a humanoid phantom with twelve wings appeared above Spirit City.
Seeing the figure, the man named Azure Dragon's face immediately darkened. He said coldly, "Angel God, are you sure you want to interfere in the affairs of my God Nine Sect? Do you know what that means?"
Azure Dragon's tone was full of threat, though his wariness was not difficult to detect.
"Azure Dragon, while the God Nine Sect is the number one force in the God Realm, my Angel Temple is no weaker. Besides, I do not believe the God Nine Sect would wage war against my Angel Temple over you! Not to mention, this is Angel Temple territory!"
As he spoke, the angelic phantom gradually became more solid. Seeing this, Azure Dragon's expression turned even uglier.
"Angel God, are you truly determined to stop me? You should know that this phantom of yours alone is no match for me!"
In response to Azure Dragon's words, the Angel God merely sneered. "Feng Xiao's parents showed me kindness. Feng Xiao is under my protection today, no matter what!"
"If your true body had descended, I would leave without another word. But with only this phantom, you cannot protect Feng Xiao!"
The next moment, divine power surged around Azure Dragon. His ten Spirit Rings pulsed, and terrifying pressure came crashing down from the heavens, pinning everyone in Spirit City below so completely that they could not move!
Even Qilin could only raise her head with difficulty, glaring furiously and unwillingly at Azure Dragon.
Bibi Dong's expression was even more dreadful. If the two gods before her began fighting, Spirit City could very well be destroyed in this clash. She desperately did not want them to fight, but she had no way to stop them.
However, at that moment, the divine mark of the Rakshasa God within her mind was stirred. Immediately afterward, a figure slowly appeared before Spirit City. It was the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong had once seen only vaguely!
"If that little Angel is not enough, what if you add me?"
The icy voice rang out. Upon seeing the newcomer, Azure Dragon's face instantly turned livid.
"Rakshasa God, you too intend to interfere in the affairs of the God Nine Sect?"
Facing Azure Dragon, the Rakshasa God sneered faintly. "The God Realm is in chaos, and your God Nine Sect is caught in internal strife. Besides, if others are not afraid of your God Nine Sect, then neither am I, the Rakshasa God. In terms of strength, I am a dignified first-class deity. I fear no one!"
"Good, good, good! Rakshasa God, very good!"
After saying "good" three times in a row, Azure Dragon turned and left. However, he left behind one sentence: "Just wait for the day my God Nine Sect descends upon your Rakshasa Temple. I hope you will not regret it then!"
In an instant, Azure Dragon vanished from the heavens, and the overwhelming pressure disappeared completely.
After Azure Dragon left, Qilin below struggled to her feet and cupped her hands toward the Angel God and Rakshasa God. "Thank you, Seniors, for saving me!"
"Feng Xiao's parents showed me kindness. Now that my benefactors are gone, it is only natural that I repay them." The Angel God's tone carried a trace of sorrow.
"Though I greatly dislike that little Angel, he is right. Feng Xiao's parents showed us kindness, and we must repay it. But while we can protect him for a time, we cannot protect him forever. Although the God Nine Sect is caught in internal strife, it remains the number one force in the God Realm. Neither my forces nor that little Angel's can stand against the God Nine Sect."
As the Rakshasa God's words fell, Qilin's expression became incomparably grim. Bibi Dong, standing to the side, did not dare interrupt at all and could only listen like an exceptionally obedient child.
"But there is not no hope!"
The Rakshasa God turned his gaze toward Feng Xiao in Bibi Dong's arms, and Bibi Dong's body immediately stiffened. She did not even dare breathe.
"Senior, are you referring to Young Master Feng Xiao?" Qilin suddenly asked.
The Rakshasa God nodded. "That is right. Feng Xiao's talent is the most monstrous I have ever seen in my life. As long as he grows up, he will be absolutely unmatched in the future. Even Xiao Feng will definitely be no match for Feng Xiao."
"I understand, Seniors."
"Since you understand, then I shall leave as well. But before that, little Angel, I will gladly accept this phantom of yours!"
Amid loud laughter, the Rakshasa God grabbed the Angel God's residual phantom, instantly tore it apart, and absorbed it.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. They had never expected those who had joined forces against a common enemy one moment ago to start fighting the next.
"Not bad, not bad. Little Angel, your phantom tastes quite good. I look forward to the day I completely devour you!"
With that, the Rakshasa God's figure vanished in an instant. Two seconds later, a furious voice rang out from the heavens.
"Rakshasa bastard, I'll fucking—#%#%#￥%"
"You damn &￥%￥%"
"I, your father, %￥%￥%..."
The stream of gibberish left countless people in Spirit City dumbfounded. So gods could curse in the streets too?
Far away in God King Village, Old Jack looked toward the horizon and could not help sighing softly. "This power from another world is truly terrifying. Even those two brats, Rakshasa and Angel, cannot resist it? I am afraid even I would be helpless, wouldn't I?"
