Just as Zhou Tong's group left the manor, a man dressed in standard armor suddenly appeared.
"Lord Kahn!!" The man, seeing Zhou Tong from afar, immediately called out.
"Indigo Prefecture soldier? Was it Lord Beirut who sent you? "Dylin asked.
The standard armor he was wearing was the uniform of Indigo Prefecture soldiers. For him to have come at a time like this meant that Beirut had sent him.
"The Lord Prefect invites you in!" The soldier said in invitation.
"Beirut is looking for me at a time like this?" Zhou Tong was rather surprised as well. Why was he looking for him at a time like this?
"Lead the way!" Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't refuse Beirut's invitation. He immediately ordered the soldier in front of him to lead the way.
At the same time, with but a thought, he quickly switched from his divine fire clone to his divine Destruction clone. He had previously told Tarosse and the others that his divine fire clone was just one step away from the Great Perfection, but he hadn't told Beirut about this. If some sort of misunderstanding occurred, it would be troublesome.
The soldier led Zhou Tong's group directly into Indigo Prefecture's manor, then went to a garden deep within the manor.
At this moment, the soldier said, "Lord Kahn, we are not permitted to enter this garden. The Lord Prefect is within the garden. Please go in yourself."
At the same time, he stopped Tarosse and the others, saying, "The Lord Prefect has only invited Lord Kahn. Please, everyone, follow me to a side hall to rest."
Tarosse and the others were startled. They wanted to know why Beirut was looking for Zhou Tong, but unfortunately, they were stopped.
"I'm not strong enough!" Olivier shook his head, then followed the soldier helplessly.
Tarosse, Dylin, and the others knew that this was definitely because they were too weak. Beirut and Kahn were both experts who stood at the very peak of the Infernal Realm. How could they have the right to speak when they were discussing matters between them?
Zhou Tong walked into the garden. He followed the small path and turned a few corners. Soon, he saw two people sitting in a pavilion and chatting happily.
Zhou Tong was already very familiar with one of them. It was Beirut. The other person was a middle-aged man wearing a dark-green robe. His long, curly dark-green hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his thick, black eyebrows were as sharp as two divine swords.
And the moment this person turned to look at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong also felt as if there were two illusory snake shadows in this person's eyes, fiercely pouncing towards him.
Two illusory sword shadows also appeared in Zhou Tong's eyes, directly cutting off the two illusory snake shadows.
"Eh? Another Great Perfection has appeared in the world? "The man looked at Zhou Tong in surprise.
"Haha, Dunnington, I was right, wasn't I? Kahn is the number one genius of our Yulan continent! "Beirut laughed loudly, a hint of smugness in his voice.
"Your Yulan continent really is filled with geniuses. First, it produced a Godeater Rat like you. Then, a second one appeared amongst your descendants. And now, a Great Perfection has appeared!" Dunnington sighed in amazement.
Beirut smiled as he twirled his beard, a hint of smugness on his face.
The Yulan continent was his homeland, after all. The more powerful his homeland was, the happier he would be.
"So it is Dunnington of the Chaotic Sea!" Zhou Tong nodded towards Dunnington as well.
And then, he turned to look at Beirut, laughing. "You haven't been watching me this entire time, have you? I just made a few breakthroughs, and you sent someone to find me."
"Hey, you made another breakthrough?" Beirut was rather surprised as well.
"I made a breakthrough in the Laws of Fire as well. Most likely, in a short period of time, I'll be able to fuse all six profound mysteries together." Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't hide his training progress from Beirut.
The nearby Dunnington was rather surprised. "Aside from having reached perfection in the Laws of Destruction, you are also on the verge of a breakthrough in the Laws of Fire?"
But although he was surprised, Dunnington didn't think too much about it. This was because there were far too many people who were stuck at the threshold of Great Perfection. In addition, many Great Perfection experts, although their second divine clones weren't at the Great Perfection level, had at least fused five profound mysteries. Dunnington himself also had a divine Destruction clone, which wasn't any weaker than any commander.
"Congratulations!" Beirut said in joy.
"However, why have you come looking for me? I was just about to go take a look at the Purgatory! "Zhou Tong said.
Beirut asked, "Speaking of which, do you know what happened with Linley?"
"Linley? What happened to him? After I sent him back to the Four Divine Beasts clan, I've been training here. I only just made my breakthrough before coming out. "Zhou Tong was rather surprised. Could it be that something had happened to Linley?
"Linley is fine. To be precise, something happened to Linley's wife, Delia!" Beirut said. "She was attacked by an expert who trained in the Edicts of Life. Her life is in grave danger."
As he spoke, Beirut gave him a general description of Delia's injuries.
"Oh, that's just like the original work! Only an expert who has reached Great Perfection in the Edicts of Life, or another expert who has reached Great Perfection, can save her using Life-type Sovereign's Might. " Zhou Tong said to himself, "Only, even though she has my soul-protecting divine artifact, something like this still happened?"
Zhou Tong didn't understand. He had clearly given her a soul-protecting divine artifact, but something like this had still happened?
If he didn't understand, he would ask. Zhou Tong asked directly, "When we parted ways, I gave her a soul-protecting divine artifact. How did she fall for it? Ordinary people aren't able to break through the soul-protecting divine artifact I created. Did she offend an Asura? "
"Ordinary people aren't able to break through it, but what if a Seven Star Fiend used Sovereign's Might?" Beirut said.
The nearby Dunnington shook his head as well. "Even the soul-protecting divine artifacts which we created in Great Perfection aren't able to withstand attacks from Sovereign's Might, unless the user of the divine artifact also uses Sovereign's Might."
Beirut continued, "Delia was struck because Linley blocked it."
Soon, Beirut gave a general description of what had happened to Zhou Tong.
"So that's how it is …" Zhou Tong nodded.
So this was the butterfly effect. His appearance had caused Bluefire to be unable to acquire a Sovereign spark and become a Sovereign. Naturally, Phusro hadn't come to assist Linley in the original work. Naturally, Linley would find it even more difficult to deal with the many dangers and situations he had encountered in the original work.
"If it wasn't for Phusro, Linley probably would've used up a drop of Sovereign's Might. If it wasn't for Phusro, when facing the combined attacks of the eight great clans, Linley probably would've had to use up an extra drop of Sovereign's Might."
"Thus, when facing the combined attacks of the eight great clans, Linley wasn't able to hold on. Not only was the soul-protecting divine artifact I gave him destroyed, he even used up Delia's soul-protecting divine artifact. Only then was he able to win …"
Zhou Tong had already roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Right at this moment, Beirut said, "If it wasn't for the fact that you gave her a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact that blocked off the majority of the attack, Delia probably would've died on the spot. She wouldn't have been able to hold on at all. However, I've already notified the Seven Star Fiends of our Indigo Prefecture who are most skilled in the Edicts of Life to go take a look. "
"A Seven Star Fiend level expert of the Edicts of Life might not necessarily be able to save her. I'll go take a look as well! Although my Edicts of Destruction aren't specialized in healing, based on your description, perhaps if I use up a drop of Life-type Sovereign's Might, I'll still have a chance. "Zhou Tong promptly said.
"Might as well. You can go take a look as a last resort!" Beirut nodded in satisfaction, then with a flip of his hand, he withdrew a small bottle of jade-green Sovereign's Might. "You haven't been to the Peak for long, and you haven't gone to any other planes. You shouldn't have Life-type Sovereign's Might. Take this bottle of Sovereign's Might and use it!"
Beirut was naturally able to heal Delia's injuries himself, but he had intentionally asked Zhou Tong to come over. Without question, he wanted to test him one last time, to see what his character was like and whether or not he was an ungrateful wretch.
As Beirut saw it, he was quite satisfied.
But the nearby Dunnington was rather surprised. He repeatedly looked at Zhou Tong and Beirut, feeling rather puzzled as to the relationship between the two.
This was a bottle of Life-type Sovereign's Might. From the looks of it, there should have been over a hundred drops.
Although Great Perfection experts didn't care too much about Sovereign's Might, because Sovereigns could casually find Great Perfection experts to do something for them, they might need tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of drops of Sovereign's Might. But to a Highgod, this was an enormous price to pay. So much Sovereign's Might had been given away just like that. How could their relationship be this good?
"There's no time to lose. In order to prevent anything unexpected from happening, I'll head out right now!" Zhou Tong put away the Life-type Sovereign's Might, then said.
"You are fast. Head out first. I'll catch up with you later!" Beirut nodded as well.
