"Nonsense. Although I don't know why this boy has appeared in Flame City, which clan does he belong to?
Which family does he belong to? But I'm sure that this little boy is definitely not from the Zhou family … "
"Is there even a need to ask? The Zhou family must have taken a fancy to the boy's special ability, which is why they want to bring him along. After all, it's extremely likely that the boy possesses the ability to turn stone into gold. If this ability matures, the Zhou family will possess endless wealth. They'll be able to purchase large amounts of monster cores and cultivation resources for their disciples, making the clan even stronger …"
"Sigh, who told the Zhou family to be so strong. They've brought four Heaven Saint Masters and they're a reclusive clan with Saint Rulers. They're not people we can provoke. Looks like the boy is going to be taken away by the Zhou family …"
"Hahaha, I never thought that you'd come so quickly, but unfortunately, you won't be able to take this child away." At this moment, a burst of laughter rang out. Three middle-aged men in white robes flew over from afar and landed beside the little boy in golden robes. These three middle-aged men were brimming with heroic spirit. Their sword-like eyebrows reached their temples. However, the three of them looked exactly the same. They were twins.
The four Heaven Saint Masters of the Zhou family revealed different expressions when they saw the three middle-aged men. One of them said with a deep voice, "I never thought that the three Yun brothers of the Heartsword sect would come as well. You sure are well-informed, daring to come from so far away so quickly."
The four Heaven Saint Masters from the reclusive Zhou family clearly feared the three Yun brothers from the Heartsword sect very much. Although the Heartsword sect was also a reclusive clan like the Zhou family, the Heartsword sect was much more powerful than the Zhou family because they possessed three Saint Rulers, far more than the Zhou family. Moreover, these three Yun brothers were all at rank six realm masters, and they were twins, they were telepathic and knew how to attack together. Their cooperation was flawless, and if the three of them attacked at the same time, they could easily defeat the four of them.
The eldest of the three Yun brothers chuckled and clasped his hands at the four Heaven Saint Masters of the Zhou family. He said, "My Heartsword sect wants to take this child away. Your Zhou family should have no objections, right?"
Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the four Heaven Saint Masters of the Zhou family, the second of the three Yun brothers immediately sneered, "You better not say that this child is from your Zhou family. As for the reason, I think you should all understand …"
The faces of the four Heaven Saint Masters from the Zhou family immediately became ugly with that. After a moment of hesitation, the person who seemed to be the leader finally clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, our Zhou family doesn't want this child. If your Heartsword sect wants him, then take him back. I hope your Heartsword sect can protect this child. This child's ability is so special that it has probably attracted the attention of a few ancient clans."
The eldest of the three Yun brothers gently smiled, "This is a matter of our Heartsword, the Zhou family don't worry." With that, the eldest of the three Yun brothers said to the person beside him, "Third brother, go take this child away." The three Yun brothers were secretly rather worried. This was the territory of the Flame Mercenaries. They did not know whether the upper echelon of the Flame Mercenaries had received the news or not. They needed to take the child away before the people of the Flame Mercenaries arrived.
The youngest of the three Yun brothers nodded. He arrived beside the child and extended his arms to pick him up, but in the next moment, his face slightly changed. A sliver of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked at the child. He could not help but cry out, "What a heavy child. This child weighs several thousand kilograms at the very least."
Everyone in the surroundings fell into an uproar when they heard that. A few experts possessed many abilities that could make their bodies as heavy as mountains, connecting them to the ground. However, the child before them was only three or four years old, yet he possessed such an ability. This made everyone sigh in amazement once again.
The youngest of the three Yun brothers immediately switched to using both hands. He wanted to pick up the child from the ground, but when he used all his strength to the point where his face was completely red, he still failed to move the child at all.
The third of the three Yun brothers was shocked. He looked at the little boy with eyes full of horror. With his strength, he could even lift things that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. However, he couldn't carry this little boy who was less than a meter tall. This made him feel incredulous.
The eldest of the three Yun brothers frowned slightly. At that moment, he realized that the child was probably not as simple as he had imagined. This only made him even more desperate to take the child to the Heartsword sect as soon as possible, just in case the child was taken away by another organisation.
"Second brother, let's do it together." The eldest of the three brothers shouted in a low voice, and then he and the second brother hugged the little boy's petite body at the same time. However, what shocked everyone was that even with the three brothers working together, they were still unable to lift the little boy from the ground.
The boy blinked his large, black eyes as he stared at the three Yun brothers in confusion. His pure gaze made the three Yun brothers want to vomit blood. They were mighty Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Masters, yet they were unable to pick up a child. Even though this child was different from the rest, it still made the three brothers lose face.
"The vice city lord has arrived!"
At this moment, a loud voice rang out from outside the crowd, immediately causing an uproar. The dense crowd that blocked the street all consciously opened up a wide path.
The hearts of the three Yun brothers immediately sank when they heard the voice. What they worried about the most had still happened.
You Yue and Bi Lian slowly made their way over on their large, mighty Class 5 Magical Beasts. Several dozen guards followed beside them. Even the weakest of the guards was a Third Cycle Earth Saint Master and wore tungsten alloy armor. There were even ten Heaven Saint Masters who had established a final line of defense in the inner circle.
"Greetings to the vice city lord!"
All the people gathered on the street clasped their hands and bowed.
They called out together, causing their voices to shake the sky. Whether it was in the Flame Mercenaries or Flame City, the position of vice city lord was an existence that stood above everyone else. It was even nobler than the kings of the eight great kingdoms on the continent.
The three brothers of the Heartsword sect sighed inside. They let go of the boy helplessly and bowed to Bi Lian politely with the four Heaven Saint Masters of the Zhou family. They said together, "Greetings to the vice city lord!"
"There's no need to be so courteous!" Bi Lian smiled. Her voice was gentle and her tone was flat. She had already gone through something like this who knew how many times, so she could easily deal with it.
"What a cute little boy!" Sima You Yue's eyes lit up as she stared at the little boy in golden clothes. Her heart was filled with fondness.
Bi Lian's gaze also landed on the boy, and her eyes immediately lit up. She also became fond of him. The little boy was fair and chubby. His pair of big black eyes were filled with innocence and innocence. He was indeed very cute. Not to mention girls, even some men couldn't help but take a few more glances at him and exclaim in admiration.
The little boy stared at Sima You Yue and Bi Lian without blinking. His eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion. He didn't know why, but when he saw Bi Lian and Sima You Yue, he felt especially close. That was because Bi Lian and Sima You Yue had an aura that made the little boy feel very warm.
You Yue and Bi Lian dismounted at the same time and quickly arrived by the boy's side. The ten Heaven Saint Masters immediately followed them closely, protecting the two of them to the best of their abilities. Even the Heaven Saint Masters from the hermit Zhou family and the Heartsword sect were chased ten meters away.
However, the Heaven Saint Masters from the Zhou family and the Heartsword sect did not dare to show any displeasure. Instead, they smiled and accompanied the two of them.
"Little boy, tell sister, what's your name?" You Yue squatted beside the little boy and asked softly with a kind smile on her face.
The boy stared at You Yue in confusion. He said nothing.
"Little boy, tell sister, what's your name and where do you live?" Bi Lian asked as well. She was concerned.
The boy was also at a loss. He said nothing, as if he did not know how to speak at all.
At this moment, You Yue's body trembled violently. Her expression changed drastically in an instant. She looked at the little boy with eyes filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
She had just received a message from Fairy Haoyue and learnt the boy's true identity. The boy was the metallic spirit that had endured the nine bolts of lightning in the depths of the tungsten alloy mine. He was a natural spirit and possessed extremely great potential. Not only that, You Yue had also learnt from Fairy Haoyue that the boy had actually surpassed the Holy Emperor, an expert of the Origin realm.
You Yue was extremely shocked. She refused to believe that the harmless-looking boy before her was even more terrifying than the Holy Emperor and that he had already reached the same level as the four great experts of ancient times.
"You Yue, what's wrong?" Bi Lian sensed You Yue's change and immediately became suspicious.
You Yue sucked in a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. However, her gaze toward the boy had changed drastically.
After a moment of silence, You Yue extended her hand towards the boy with a trembling hand. She gently said, "Little boy, sister knows that you have no home to return to. Why don't you come with me and live with me in the future? I'll treat you like my own brother, alright?"
Perhaps the boy understood You Yue's words or understood what You Yue meant, but he did not refuse. He obediently grabbed You Yue's hand. The boy felt especially close to You Yue and Bi Lian, as if they were his family. This was because You Yue and Bi Lian possessed a presence that made him feel extremely warm.
Just like that, the little boy was carried by Sima You Yue onto the fifth ranked Devil Beast mount. However, what surprised everyone was that the fifth ranked Devil Beast mount was actually able to bear the little boy's weight with ease. It was as if the little boy's petite body was no longer as heavy as it used to be.
The three Yun brothers looked at this scene with a bitter expression. Now, they didn't need to think to know that the little boy was resisting the three of them just now. He didn't want to follow the three of them, so his body became so heavy that the three of them couldn't move him at all.
