Bloodridge Continent. Skymount Prefecture. Skymount City.
After more than ten years, the metallic lifeform that Cheng Hao and the others were on finally arrived at Skymount Prefecture.
"Everyone, we've arrived. This escort mission has been completed!"
The metallic lifeform came to a halt not too far from Skymount City, and the silver-haired elder called out happily.
"Have we reached our destination?" Cheng Hao walked out of his room, waving towards Blumer and Lisa, then disembarked from the metallic lifeform.
"Milord, this is Skymount City. It was all thanks to you, milord, that we were able to safely reach our destination. Would you be willing to give us the honor of having a meal with you, milord?" The silver-haired elder very much wanted to establish a good relationship with Cheng Hao, an existence who was even more powerful than a Seven Star Fiend.
"No need. Since I've accepted your mission, I naturally have to escort you safely to your destination. Alright, I have other matters to attend to in the city. As for returning to the Fiend Castle to complete the mission, I'll have to trouble you!"
After speaking, Cheng Hao didn't care about the reactions of the others. He waved towards Blumer and Lisa, then walked towards Skymount City.
"Sorry, everyone. My big brother's temper is a bit strange. Let's part ways here!"
Blumer said rather awkwardly to the silver-haired elder and the other Fiends, then took Lisa by the hand and hurried off in the direction Cheng Hao had left in.
"Alas, what a pity. Lord Cheng Hao's personality is too cold. We weren't able to find a chance to chat with him on the way here." After Cheng Hao's group left, some of the Fiends in the squad sighed.
"That's normal. How could an exalted figure like him have any interest in interacting with ordinary Fiends like us? Didn't you see? Lord Olivier didn't even pay much attention to Lord Reerhaus!"
"Right. This is the first time in my life that I've ever seen an expert like Lord Olivier, who can tear through space as he pleases. Supposedly, people like him are known as Asuras. Every single one of them is qualified to be a Lord Prefect. To be able to travel with such an existence is already an enormous honor for us!"
"Sigh, Asura, that's an existence that surpasses the level of demons. Let's not think too much about it. Everyone, I'll be the host today. Let's go in and have a big meal. Are you all willing?"
"Haha, let's go. We've completed the mission and even met the Shura elite. This trip to the Sky Mountain Prefecture is indeed worth celebrating!"
Amidst the discussions, the silver-haired old man and the group of Demons walked toward the tavern in the city, all of them looking very excited.
Only the Six Star Fiend Lierhaus, who was at the very back of the group, had a look of resolve in his eyes. Staring in the direction Cheng Hao had left in, he clenched his fists.
"One day, I, Reehaus, will also become a lofty Asura. I will no longer be ignored by anyone!"
.....
The Skymount Prefecture had more than ten large cities under its jurisdiction. Skymountain City was the main city of the Skymount Prefecture. The Prefecture Lord Molde's estate was located not too far away from the city, in the Blackcloud Mountains.
"Big brother, where are we going first?"
After entering the city, which was filled with the vicissitudes of time, Blumer excitedly looked around. He knew that if nothing else happened, he and Lisa would most likely settle down in this Skymountain City.
Cheng Hao raised his hand, removing the Fiend badge from his chest and handing it to Blumer. "Take my badge and go to the Fiend Castle to turn in the mission. I have some matters to take care of. When I'm done, I'll go find you!"
"Alright, big brother. Lisa and I will wait for you at the Fiend Castle!"
After sending Blumer and Lisa away, Cheng Hao turned and left Skymountain City. After choosing a direction, he transformed into a blue blur, hurrying towards the Blackcloud Mountains.
The Blackcloud Mountains weren't too far away from here. Given Cheng Hao's speed, in less than an hour, he arrived at the outskirts of the Blackcloud Mountains.
The Blackcloud Mountains stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. The prefectural soldiers stationed here alone numbered in the millions. Cheng Hao didn't force his way in. Instead, he stopped at the outskirts of the mountains, then spread out his divine sense to investigate the situation within the Skymount Prefecture.
After a while, Cheng Hao retracted his divine sense, and he couldn't help but frown.
"He's not in the prefecture?"
Lord Molde of the Skymount Prefecture had a total of two divine clones. Just now, Cheng Hao had seen that neither of Molde's divine clones were present. It seemed as though they had gone out on business.
"According to the storyline, Molde was only lucky enough to acquire the 'treasured mirror' which the Overgod had issued, and also acquired the nine soul pearls, one of the three major mission items. As for where and when he acquired them, I have no idea!"
Cheng Hao was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
"From the looks of it, Molde must have gone out on business. If my guess is correct, by the time he returns, he should have acquired the nine soul pearls. It seems I'll have to wait a bit longer!"
.....
After returning to Skymount City, Cheng Hao led Blumer and Bebe to purchase a house with a courtyard for them, as well as a few shops for them. Even if they didn't know how to do business, as long as they collected rent from the shops, they would be able to live comfortably in the future.
Afterwards, Cheng Hao also purchased some high-quality materials and soul-protecting divine artifacts for the two of them. Only after completing their defensive measures did he finally let out a sigh of relief. He could sense that this body's obsession with Blumer had completely dissipated.
"Next, I will head to the outer regions of the Blackcloud Mountains to train. If you encounter any problems, you can come find me at any time!"
With Blumer's affairs concluded, Cheng Hao headed to the Blackcloud Mountains, preparing to set up camp there. He had to acquire the nine soul pearls in the hands of Lord Molde of the Skymount Prefecture.
Before leaving, Cheng Hao also purchased some books on the Laws of Fate. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well use them to train in this forbidden Law which could not be trained in any other world.
It must be understood that the reason why Dugu Baitian's Chaotic Eight Stances was so terrifying was because it contained the power of the Grand Dao of Fate. This sort of power was both mysterious and bizarre, making it impossible to defend against. It was the best way to kill someone and rob them.
.....
In the outer regions of the Blackcloud Mountains, Cheng Hao casually opened up an estate and began a long period of closed-door training. He had thought that he would only have to wait a few decades at most, but in the end, he waited for more than a thousand years. Lord Molde of the Skymount Prefecture seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, not appearing at all.
During the past thousand years, Cheng Hao's mastery of the Laws of Fate had reached an extremely high level. Although he had been suppressing his spiritual ripples, preventing himself from creating another divine clone of Fate, in terms of mastery of the Laws of Fate, Cheng Hao could be considered an Asura-level expert.
"Big brother, big brother, save me!"
