Dumbo was simply too quick.
How could the old man, who was merely a Heavenly Immortal, react in time?
He had just opened his mouth to speak three sentences when he felt a pain in his neck. Then, his whole body was grabbed by the neck by a large hand … No, not a large hand, but a dog's paw!
The old man saw Dumbo's appearance then.
It was a big black dog that was as tall as a human when it stood up. This black dog was wearing a pair of flowery underpants and a pair of black sunglasses. It bared its teeth, and the demonic aura around it was as black as ink. With a murderous aura, it said, "Old thing, what nonsense are you talking about?"
All at once, everyone in the tavern was startled.
"Aren't you going to stop, monster?"
One of the immortals barked.
Most humans lived in Jambudvipa.
Although humans and daemons were no longer as hostile against each other as before in the face of powerful foes from across worlds, there was still a rift between them due to the grudge that spanned over countless eras.
Daemons rarely roamed outside of Uttarakuru, and they would keep a low profile even if they did.
Daemons as arrogant as Dumbo, who dared to attack human cultivators on the streets, were nowhere to be found in Jambudvipa!
All at once, over a dozen cultivators attacked.
Their cultivation ranged from Heavenly Immortal to True Immortal, and all of them invoked their immortal items to attack Dumbo.
Dumbo did not even turn around.
A flash of lightning flashed over its body.
The immortal items that were attacking it were all deflected.
The immortals who attacked felt the aura that vanished in a flash over Dumbo's body and were left stunned, each of them showing a look of disbelief. "Grand Luo? No … that's impossible. How could that dog be a Grand Luo? "
"It's a Grand Luo, it definitely is. I once saw a Grand Luo attack from afar, and this dog's aura is even more frightening than that Grand Luo from back then …"
Dumbo turned around this time.
It took off its sunglasses and coolly glanced at the many immortals with its canine eyes.
The many immortals were trembling, and some of the more cowardly ones were already kneeling on the ground, muttering things like 'My lord, I was blind'.
That was when …
Jiang He, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, the nine Wise Rock Monkeys in human form, Boa Hancock, Sora, Hu Mei, and Willow walked out from the private room.
Dumbo nonchalantly threw the old man to the ground and said reverently, "Master, this old man is really despicable for ruining your reputation. Let me slap him to death!"
"No need."
Jiang He waved him off and smiled. "It's the various immortal sects and demonic sects that are trying to ruin my reputation. It seems that they are holding a grudge because they did not gain anything on Earth, which is why they are spreading rumors here so that some righteous individuals would come after me …"
Dumbo chuckled and said sinisterly, "Master, when I refined Zeus's Overdeity divinity, I learned a godly spell that illuminates the depths of a person's heart and memories. Let me interrogate him."
"Sure!"
Dumbo turned, grabbed the old man and beat him up.
The old man was a Heavenly Immortal.
On the other hand, a Heavenly Immortal's body was not that easy to kill. Dumbo knew when to stop and when to stop, and every time he was beaten to the point that he wished he was dead, his immortal light fading and the Immortal Dao he had cultivated so hard was almost shattered.
"Are you going to tell me? Are you going to tell me?"
Dumbo asked even as he beat the old man.
Jiang He and the others were left gaping …
Didn't you say that you know a godly spell that illuminates the deepest memories in a person's heart?
How …
You didn't use it?
The old man was yelping in pain and wailing, "My lord, why don't you ask? How would I know if you don't?"
"…"
Dumbo paused and flatly said, "Oh, I got used to it … I forgot to ask, but you don't have to. I have my own way of getting what I want."
Veins of thunderbolts abruptly shone over its body.
They were exceedingly sacred and entirely different from the thick Daemonic Qi over Dumbo's body.
When the thunderbolts landed on the old man's body, the deepest memories in the old man's heart were reflected and images flickered. At the same time, Dumbo pointed with its paw and intercepted one of the images, turning it into a video that played in the air like a movie.
The image showed a group of immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemonic cultivators who had migrated from Earth.
They were sitting together and discussing something, and there was no telling what they were talking about.
Jiang He said, "There's no sound here."
Trumbo replied, "Master, I can read lips."
Hence, Trumbo played dozens of roles, translating the words of the humans, demons, and daemons.
What they were discussing was none other than to smear Jiang He and Wang Hou's reputation.
Coupled with the fact that the Immortal Dao on the homeworld had been severed, the righteous individuals who held sentiments toward the homeworld would hate Jiang He … and given what they knew about Jiang He, conflict would definitely arise if that happened.
A mere Jiang He like him would die if he dared to act presumptuously in Primeval.
The image faded.
The other immortals in the tavern had a general idea of what was going on.
"Master, the demonic sects and immortal sects are staying at the neighboring Tian Standing Immortal City for now. It is one of the thirty-six immortal cities established by the Celestial Court, and Lord Tian Li, one of the Celestial Court's Thirty-Six Decan Gods, stands guard there all year round."
Dumbo obtained the address of the immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemonic cultivators from the old man's memories.
"Alright!"
"Let's head to Tian Standing Immortal City."
On that very day, Jiang He and the others streaked toward Tian Standing Immortal City.
He kept everyone else in his farm, leaving only Dumbo and Trumbo by his side, and headed straight to the city lord's residence when they reached Tian Standing Immortal City.
There were heavenly soldiers standing guard outside the city lord's residence.
Dumbo released its Overdeity aura a little.
It had refined Zeus' Overdeity divinity, and now that it had become an Overdeity, its combat strength was definitely at the pinnacle of Grand Luo even if it was slightly weaker than Zeus. While it did not have the unique Daoist Rhyme of a Grand Luo, its aura was definitely that of a Grand Luo.
The heavenly soldiers quickly saluted it.
Dumbo, on the other hand, held its head high and looked up at the skies, flatly saying, "Tell your Lord Tian Li that my master wishes to meet him, and have him come at once!"
Ooom.
Beside them.
Trumbo released its Overdeity aura as well.
The heavenly soldier was one of the heavenly soldiers Lord Tian Li had brought from the Celestial Court and was quite knowledgeable. Even so, he was so frightened at the sight that he was shaking and scrambling into the city lord's residence to find Lord Tian Li, who was entertaining his good friend.
"B * stard!"
Lord Tian Li was exchanging toasts with his good friend, and was promptly enraged when his mood was interrupted.
Kneeling on the ground, the heavenly soldier said, "Lord, there's a handsome youth outside with a cat and a dog, and he wants you to meet him."
"What?"
Lord Tian Li was fuming and glaring. "Who is it?"
"How dare you! You dare to ask me to meet him?"
The heavenly soldier shook his head and answered truthfully, "I don't know, but the cat and dog he brought are both Grand Luo, and they call the youth their master."
