Chapter 976: Chapter 737: What a Big Family!
The human wall parted, making way for Long Yi and Ai Lin as they headed straight for the market, with Long Yi accustomed to storing a variety of essential items for daily life in his private space. Especially this time, it was going to be a drawn-out battle, so failing to prepare sufficiently was not an option.
Meanwhile, the Red Demon Scorpion returned to its accessory form, and Little Zi had long been here preparing the Array. When Long Yi and Ai Lin returned, the Array was immediately activated, and the two Emperors fell silent for a long time.
Long Yi and Ai Lin, indeed strong people could be so willful.
As the warriors dispersed, the spies who had been watching from a distance immediately reported the incident to the Ancient Powerhouses Alliance.
"Teleportation Array, they’re unlikely to go to the public Spaceport now, maybe they can find a private spacecraft!" someone said in the psychic meeting room.
"Who would dare to oppose us, the ancient powerhouses, at a time like this?" one person said in anger.
"The problem is, he just killed an ancient powerhouse, and he’s planning to come after the eight of us!" another person said coldly.
"Some people are only motivated by money," Nielan spoke up.
"So what do we do?" someone asked.
"Keep a careful watch around your own planet, send out an alert here at the slightest movement, and be ready to activate the Teleportation Array at any moment, we’ll come to your aid immediately!" Lou Aran said.
In fact, there were no better options.
After teleporting away, Long Yi did not choose any planet, but rather, an empty expanse of space, from which he directly retrieved the Great Explorer from his private space.
Joking aside, the disguised Great Explorer maneuvered swiftly through space. Long Yi didn’t actually know how to find those ancient powerhouses, so the first thing he had to do was to force them to show themselves.
And the simplest way to force their hand?
Disciples.
Among the ancient powerhouses who had tried to strike first and kill Long Yi and Ai Lin, quite a few disciples had been captured by Little Zi, who read their memories. At this time, one particular memory guided Long Yi and his companions to a planet.
On this planet, there was an enormously large family that occupied vast tracts of mountains as their stronghold. Under the care of ancient powerhouses, it had thrived for over two hundred years with members numbering in the tens of thousands. The family’s power on the planet even far surpassed the supreme ruler, or rather, the supreme ruler was nothing but a puppet of the family.
So, when Long Yi kicked open the door to the Emperor’s room on this planet and directly asked if he had any interest in ending the family’s reign, the Emperor, who had been screaming just a moment ago, suddenly lit up with excitement. He relayed all the details of the family to Long Yi, very aware that the person in front of him matched all the traits of Long Yi from the rumors. He had more than once dreamed that if Long Yi appeared and killed every member of that family, how wonderful it would be. To his surprise, at that moment, Long Yi indeed stood right before him!
In the vast square in front of the family’s gate, Long Yi looked up at the row upon row of impressive and uniquely styled buildings along the mountain range. Indeed, the family had a distinctive style and layout.
This family had no gate, but no one dared to approach, even those passing by would go out of their way.
So when Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi headed straight towards the family’s direction, everyone watched them curiously. Normally, only high-ranking family members or honored guests would approach from the front, while regular family members were only allowed to approach from the sides!
"Who dares to trespass!"
A group of Mages landed from a distance, with the leader pointing at Long Yi and loudly admonishing him.
Little Zi took a couple of steps forward with a slight smile: "Our master has come for a visit."
The man gave Little Zi a glance, then looked at Long Yi and Ai Lin, his complexion changing slightly: "You... You are..."
Little Zi stepped forward: "My master is called Long Yi, and I’m his maid, Little Zi!"
Thump! The person who had just been full of arrogance collapsed on the ground with his eyes rolling back.
"Incredible! Long Yi’s Female Demon has killed someone!" someone yelled out, but rather than attacking, all the Mages scattered and fled!
"Don’t run! Fight! What are you afraid of? They’re only three of them!" someone loyally shouted, charging forward, only to be laid out by Little Zi with a Mental Impact.
"That guy just now fainted from fright, really, it wasn’t my fault," Little Zi said, but the person who had fainted couldn’t hear it anymore.
The commotion quickly drew a large number of people.
In an instant, nearly ten thousand people rushed out to confront Long Yi and Ai Lin. Leading them was an elder, who looked at Long Yi and Ai Lin with evident disdain on his face.
"Hmph, just two kids, defeating Adaman must have been pure luck! Don’t be afraid! We have nearly ten thousand people; surely, we won’t fear these three?" the elder shouted.
Long Yi stepped forward and shouted, "Hey, let’s make a deal, as long as you put your hands behind your back, you won’t die, what do you say?"
While speaking, Long Yi put his hands behind his back.
"Look! Long Yi is already afraid of us! Everyone, attack together! Capture him, and you will not only gain renown, but also Long Yi’s vast wealth!" the elder continued to incite.
Some people were agitated and couldn’t contain themselves, letting out a roar as they rushed forward. With the first taking the lead, a large group immediately surged up. In an instant, all kinds of magic spells poured out like a torrential downpour!
Little Zi flicked her wrist, and the thirteen white beads on her bracelet transformed into thirteen Female Demon avatars. They simultaneously cast their innate ice spears, and a flurry of ice spears retaliated. Some ice spears shattered, but even more shot out, one after another piercing through the bodies of those Mages! At the same time, the tremendous force threw the howling Mages far away as they were knocked back!
And in the blink of an eye, the second wave of ice spear attacks had already arrived!
Someone yelled out loud,
"Turn your hands behind your back!"
Instantly, a portion of those with quick reflexes turned their hands behind their backs. Huge and sharp ice spears whisked past them, sweeping away the Mages who were still desperately attacking beside them. They watched helplessly as the people beside them were hit by the ice spears and instantly frozen, their bodies rigid.
This time, only a sparse few who had turned their hands behind remained in the air, glaringly obvious.
"There are no enemies in the sky anymore, aim for the ground!"
Little Zi waved her hand, and all the Female Demon avatars unleashed huge ice spears filled with chilling cold, aiming for the ground.
This time, almost instinctively, nearly everyone turned their hands behind their back. Nonetheless, a few stray spells flew out, which in turn attracted the ice spears.
Without surprise, they were impaled onto the ground. Also nailed to the ground was an old man who was the one who had incited the crowd to attack. However, that old man had his hands behind his back.
"I despise those who can’t set an example and see things through to the end the most," Little Zi shook her head.
This time, as Long Yi stepped forward, no one dared to stop him, and everyone with their hands behind their back watched as Long Yi and his companions left. Life is one’s own, and aside from fools, no one would be stupid enough to show off at this time.
Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi advanced unhindered, and along the way, they scarcely saw anyone, and even if they did, they immediately turned their hands behind their backs. It looked like they had been notified.
When they reached the halfway mark, a huge square suddenly appeared. The moment the three stepped into the square, powerful energy surged up, countering the energies of Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi. Meanwhile, from the surrounding buildings, people began to emerge, pouring energy into it, trying to trap Long Yi and his companions!
"Hey, we agreed no killing if hands are behind the back," Long Yi looked around and spoke to a middle-aged man who was leading the group.
"No killing? You’re about to die yourself, how do you plan to kill me?" The middle-aged man laughed heartily.
Long Yi curled his lips, pulled out the Cosmic Stone Greatsword, and it instantly transformed into the Dragon Spear.
"Just like this!"
Clang!
In a flash, the middle-aged man was impaled against the wall far behind! Crack! A burst of light exploded from the tip of the Dragon Spear, slicing two people in half with sheer force!
The surrounding Mages gasped in shock—Long Yi was so fiercely strong that even without being able to cast magic, he managed to overpower and kill someone with brute force! But that wasn’t the end of it! The figure then gradually took human form—it was Lingling!
Lingling, as a weapon, could execute Long Yi’s commands autonomously. Her arms transformed into Light Cannons, and in her Cosmic Stone form, she had immense killing power compared to her Crystal Demon form. One blast of the Light Cannon swept away a swath of people instantly.
Some Mages immediately redirected their target to Lingling, but her own shield was extremely robust, and her Cosmic Stone body supplied her with an endless source of Mana. No matter how powerful the magical barrage was, her shield remained intact, while the surrounding Mages kept falling!
Eventually, someone turned their hands behind their back first. The beam that had already been fired merely grazed past him, killing the person beside him who had turned their hands behind their back.
Soon, everyone had their hands behind their back, and the Array, lacking external support, collapsed with a crash. Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi walked out of the Array in front of a group of Mages who were nearly scared to death, retracted Lingling, and continued on their way.
No sooner had they gone far when a massive Array spanning dozens of layers suddenly appeared above the square they had just left. The Mana, after being accelerated through the multiple layers of the Array, blasted a terrifying pit in the ground right where they had been!
"Strategic magic? These people are quite interesting," Ai Lin looked at the gradually dissipating Array in the sky and commented.
"Too bad, they underestimated the human desire to survive," Long Yi said.
Just then, the weather abruptly changed! Dark clouds swarmed, and an inexplicably pungent odor filled the air.
"Poison Rain spell!" Ai Lin shouted.
Without any warning, pale green rain began to fall from the sky. The stone ground corroded upon contact with the rainwater, emitting thick smoke that was unbearably foul! Ai Lin raised her hand, creating a hemispherical barrier. Arrays around her body spun as she fired a special Magic Missile. It exploded in the dark clouds, blasting them open with a powerful blast of air and creating a temporary poison-free space for them, but the dark clouds continued to close in. Ai Lin’s hands moved ceaselessly, surrounding her with revolving arrays, with the Cosmic Stone lighting up in response.
"Control Water!"
Immediately, an Array rose up, absorbing all the surrounding rainwater that was about to fall and forming a water sphere.
"Freeze!"
Little Zi unleashed a freezing breath, solidifying all the water into ice.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
