Inside the private box, Digelunsi' face was ashen. He admitted that Andrew had some skill, but how could Digelunsi, who had been unchallenged for countless years, not be angry at being challenged in this environment?
"Damn it!" Digelunsi cursed, then flew out of the box and onto the top of the ring.
Looking down at Andrew, Digelunsi said coldly, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down, swear allegiance to me, and I'll spare you this time!"
Andrew took flight and caught up with him.
" Digelunsi, that's the best joke I've ever heard. If you have the guts, set a time and place for the duel! If not, just admit defeat."
Digelunsi stared at him, his gaze almost freezing the air.
"Fine!" Digelunsi uttered a single word, "You want to die? I'll grant your wish. Six months from now, at Purple Baleful Mountain, south of the city!"
"Whoosh..."
As soon as Digelunsi spoke, the audience below erupted in uproar.
"A real challenge?"
"The Lord of the Manor has already agreed and set a time for the challenge. Have you said anything?"
"I never expected this, I really never expected it. Who do you think will win this battle?"
"I think the Lord of the Manor is stronger. You know, there have been experts with a hundred consecutive victories who challenged the Lord of the Manor before, but all of them died."
"Not necessarily. This time, the challenger, Lord Andrew, is far more powerful than any of the previous challengers..."
These words were being discussed by everyone, but in the face of powerful figures like Digelunsi and Andrew, no one dared to utter a sound, and could only communicate through telepathy.
Andrew frowned. He had originally thought that by forcing Digelunsi out and provoking him in front of everyone, Digrons would be eager to take revenge, and the duel would be scheduled very soon. However, he had set the date for six months later.
Of course, for gods with eternal life, half a year and a moment make no difference. Andrew just didn't want to drag it out too long. If Digelunsi discovered Han Yue and the others, things might change. After all, according to the rules, Andrew was on the opposite side of the Sovereign's army and the lord of the palace. His enemies were too powerful. Andrew himself wasn't afraid of these people, but his family couldn't bear it.
"What, are you going to back out?" Seeing that Andrew had not answered for a long time, Digelunsi sneered, thinking that he had already lost heart when he faced a real challenge.
"Alright! Six months from now, Purple Baleful Mountain, Bloodflame City!" Andrew glanced at him and agreed. According to the rules, the challenged lord has the right to decide the time and location of the challenge. As long as the time does not exceed ten thousand years, it is acceptable.
After the agreement was made, Andrew left. Digelunsi also returned to his residence.
That very day, news of Andrew's challenge to the Lord of the Blood Flame Prefecture spread throughout the entire Bloodflame City, and it was spreading even faster to other parts of the Bloodflame Prefecture.
"Ancestor, that guy actually dared to challenge you. Why don't we send a large army to capture him now..." Upon hearing this news, Quasman immediately found Digelunsi and indignantly suggested.
Digelunsi was also very unhappy. This was the first time in countless years that he had been offended like this, especially by Andrew's arrogant attitude, which made Digelunsi particularly angry.
Thinking about this, Digelunsi felt a pang of regret. He had acted impulsively today, actually accepting the other party's challenge.
Quasman was adept at reading people, and just by looking at Digelunsi's expression, he guessed what he was thinking. Seeing how cautious he was, Quasman had a bad feeling.
"Could it be that he is really that powerful?" Quasman thought back. He hadn't been born for very long, but in his mind, as the patriarch of the Bloodflame Prefecture, his Digelunsi had never been afraid of anyone. Even those challengers in the past had never been taken seriously by him.
But this time, things were a little different; the ancestor was being overly cautious.
His eyes darted around, and Quasman's inner turmoil was far from the calm he appeared to be. Ultimately, he was the one who started Andrew's troubles. Despite being favored by Digelunsi, Quasman was deeply uneasy about causing such a mess. At this moment, he was trying to figure out how to resolve this predicament.
Digelunsi suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze falling on Quasman. Quasman met his gaze and was startled.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Having lived for countless years, Digelunsi saw through Quasman's thoughts at a glance. "He possesses the strength of Asura, and he came to Bloodflame Prefecture to challenge the Palace Master. This time, even without your involvement, a challenge was inevitable."
Upon hearing this, Quasman quickly calmed down.
"Ancestor, this time the challenge is..."
Digelunsi lowered his eyes. "I have my own plans regarding the challenge. This guy named Andrew has an aura I can't see through; I suspect he's hiding his strength. However, even if he's strong, he can't defeat two Asura."
Two Asura?
Quasman looked completely bewildered.
Digelunsi didn't explain; in fact, he was still hesitant.
Kutum was standing to the side with his head down, understood what he meant. The other Asura that Digelunsi was talking about was the upcoming Bloodridge Army commander Youyindier.
"The Lord of the Manor is too cautious. Facing the challenge of Asura, he actually wants to join forces with someone. This is too..." Kutum thought to himself, but said nothing aloud.
Andrew returned to his courtyard, his divine sense monitoring the entire Bloodflame City.
"I need to be on high alert for the next six months. If Digelunsi discovers Yue'er and the others, it will be disastrous."
Andrew was helpless. The incident with Deenmike was purely accidental. Who could have predicted that a challenge from a Lowgod would actually attract the attention of the Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture? However, since it had already happened, Andrew was not afraid. He was very confident that in a head-on challenge, Digelunsi would definitely not be his match.
Now, his only worry is whether Digelunsi will discover the relationship between Han Yue and the others and him, and if so, whether he will take action against them. Although Digelunsi once, Andrew can sense that the other party is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Such people often have no bottom line when they do things, making them difficult to guard against.
To ensure his family's safety, Andrew had to be on guard at all times.
"Buzz..."
Half a month later, a faint, ethereal sound emanated from the heavens and earth, followed by the gathering of vast and boundless Laws of the World above the courtyard where Andrew lived.
This fluctuation also attracted the attention of others nearby.
"Who broke through? It seems they've become Midgod." Dozens of divine senses swept around, but when they spotted Andrew, they immediately withdrew their divine senses.
"It was him..."
As news of Andrew's challenge to Digelunsi spread, he became known to many people, especially in Bloodflame City, where almost everyone knew him.
Few dare to offend the Lord of the Manor, who is capable of challenging him.
Andrew didn't care. He quietly looked at the place where Deenmike was in seclusion, a satisfied look in his eyes.
Without a doubt, it was Deenmike's Earth Element Divine Clone that broke through this time. Not long after the last Battle Arena, Deenmike broke through the bottleneck and completely fused the two Mysteries. Such talent is quite good even in the Higher Plane.
The fluctuations in the Laws quickly disappeared, Deenmike emerged. Normally cold and aloof, he was now somewhat excited. No wonder; the breakthrough from Lowgod to Midgod was a qualitative leap. Even in the entire Infernal Realm, the status of Midgod was far superior to that of Lowgod.
He is also Midgod achieved his power through the Fusion Law, surpassing the strength of the vast majority of his peers!
"Keep up the good work," Andrew said simply, without offering much praise.
Deenmike nodded silently. In his heart, Andrew had always been his goal and role model. In fact, part of his motivation for training came from Andrew.
The following time was unusually calm, to Andrew's surprise. Digelunsi did not conduct a large-scale investigation into Andrew's background, nor did he find Han Yue and the others. This was actually quite normal. Digelunsi had been the lord of the manor for countless years. No matter how despicable he was, he still had some dignity as a strong person and cared about his reputation.
At the same time, Digelunsi, judging others by his own standards, believed that even if Andrew's family and friends were captured and used to threaten him, it would certainly be useless. To a God with endless life, nothing matters except life itself.
Half a year passed quickly.
"Call out!"
"Call out!"
Bloodflame City, from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, Metallic Lifeform continuously streaked across the sky, hurtling towards them. The sky was filled with countless Metallic Lifeform of all shapes and sizes...
"We've finally arrived. If it weren't for Lord Kuidong, we probably wouldn't have made it..." Several burly men emerged from a tiger-shaped Metallic Lifeform. They looked fierce and imposing.
The first man was a burly, square-faced man with disheveled white hair and sharp eyes. He put away his Metallic Lifeform, said nothing, and led the others south.
This situation was not unique outside Bloodflame City. Basically, everyone who came here went through great lengths, and once they arrived in Bloodflame City, they headed south.
Without a doubt, everyone came here to challenge the Lord of the Manor!
