"Boulder City!"
On the main road, the three Camel Beasts bowed their heads respectfully.
The Camel Beasts were shaped like camels. Their long hair trailed the ground, and they only had one hump. However, they had great endurance and were essential for spirit controllers on long journeys.
"I'm finally back …"
Wu Ming murmured. The Iron Winged Golden Eagle was a black dot in the sky, monitoring the surroundings.
Beside him, Evil Wolf had transformed into a large wolfdog and was running behind the Camel Beasts. Hou Yong and Zuo Linling followed on its left and right.
"Leading the yellow on the left and the blue on the right? I can't believe that I've become a lackey now. "
Wu Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw his own posture.
"This is where Master's family is …"
Hou Yong and Zuo Linling were very surprised when they saw this.
After all, this Boulder City was at most a medium-sized city in the Flame Continent. It didn't look outstanding at all.
"Don't underestimate Boulder City … there's a Lava Tyrant sleeping beneath the city!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"Lava Tyrant?"
Hou Yong and Zuo Linling's expressions froze. This was a Silver-type phantom. It was huge and terrifyingly powerful.
They felt their scalps go numb when they thought about how this city was built on top of a volcano.
Wu Ming looked at the outline of the city and recalled the general trend of the world that he had captured when he transmigrated.
There was indeed a Silver-type Lava Tyrant sleeping under this Boulder City!
It even had the strength of a Monarch! However, it was heavily injured and fell to the peak of the Marshal level. That was why it was sleeping here.
Later on, the ancestors of the Dongfang, Tantai, and Wuma families discovered this phantom and settled down here. Over time, Boulder City was formed.
The lifespan of elemental phantoms was terrifying!
"A thousand years have passed … I'm afraid that only the core members of the three families know about this secret."
Wu Ming shook his head and smiled. "Unfortunately … they wanted to make use of the Lava Tyrant to make huge profits, but they forgot that it wasn't easy to bully …"
The reproduction of elemental phantoms was very interesting.
They did not reproduce through reproduction. Instead, they split themselves.
Every once in a while, the slumbering Lava Tyrant would split and reproduce from its body. From the lowest-level Earth Elementals to the Elite Type Rock Puppets to the Outstanding Type Gem Golems, there was everything that one could think of. Furthermore, their numbers were astonishing, and they could even form a small elemental race.
The three great clans raised them in captivity, sold them wantonly, and made contracts with them in order to reap huge profits. At the same time, it also strengthened the clans' strength and foundation.
The fantasy spirits in the Elemental Realm were superior to those in the Life Realm, not to mention that there were also outstanding species. This alone was enough for the entire Giant Stone City to develop.
And the three great families had another ambition!
They wanted to catalyze the Lava Tyrant and make it split into a Silver-type phantom spirit!
Even though it was a Silver species, a newborn Lava Tyrant only had the strength of an infant. It was completely possible to capture it. Be it contracting it or selling it, the profits from it would be extremely shocking!
Unfortunately, the three great families had never produced a Monarch Level Spirit Controller to completely subdue the Lava Tyrant. They could only keep it in a deep sleep, sowing the seeds of disaster.
In his memory, in the year 9998 of the God of Creation's calendar, which was several years later, the Lava Tyrant woke up from its slumber and completely recovered its Monarch Level strength. It went on a killing spree and destroyed the entire Boulder City. The three great clans were also annihilated.
But at that time, the signs of chaos had already appeared. Compared to the destruction of the empires and the chaos of war that spread across the Flame Continent, this was nothing.
"Looking at the time … it should be the day when the Lava Tyrant splits again, right?"
Wu Ming rubbed his chin. "I remember that the ancestors of the three great families had an agreement. In order not to break the alliance, the old powerhouses could not make a move. They could only use a competition between outstanding disciples under the age of twenty to decide the distribution …
"I wonder if the Hall of Elders should be happy or worried to see me return?"
He smiled wickedly and urged the Camel Beast into the city.
It was obvious that his face was a 'celebrity' in Giant Stone City. It had only been a few months since the commotion at the Imperial Wind House had caused. Without any attempt to conceal himself, he had immediately caused a sensation.
On the way back to the family, the disciples of the Hall of Beheadings and Executions came to greet him. The one leading them was Dongfang Ao.
"Sigh … Dongfang Shuoming, since you've already left, why did you come back?"
Dongfang Yue sighed.
"Dongfang Shuoming! You've broken our family's laws. Hurry up and surrender! "
Dongfang Ao shouted, but he did not immediately make a move.
"Oh? What laws did I break? "
Wu Ming smiled coldly. "The profits of the Imperial Wind House belong to me, and I've already paid the monthly rent … Now that I've left, the most the family can do is take back the house and consider me a failure. What else can I do other than that?"
"This …"
Dongfang Ao's face froze.
"Hehe … Of course, there's the blood debt of Brother Jieao!"
The Sun, Jin, Dipper, and Jin deacons of the Second Elder stepped forward. Dongfang Jin said triumphantly, "Dongfang Shuoming, we suspect that you killed Dongfang Jie and Dongfang Ao while you were cultivating in the Starry Firefly Mountain Range. Hurry up and surrender, or else …"
"Hehe …"
Wu Ming laughed. "If they're alive, I want to see them. If they're dead, I want to see their corpses! I've never seen Brother Jieao. Besides … how can you be so sure that they're dead? Is it impossible for them to have gone out to train? Or perhaps, you're the one who killed them, right? "
"Heh! Little bastard, your words are still as sharp as ever! "
Dongfang Jin retreated.
"I didn't do it, so of course I'm not afraid. If you don't believe me, you can go find an astrologer or a fortune teller!"
Wu Ming smiled brightly, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
The Godly Ghost Divination Star could not only conceal one's fate, but it could also confuse and mislead.
"You … You know how much it costs to hire a fortune teller. If you want to prove your innocence, you should pay for it!"
Dongfang Jin's heart sank. Looking at Wu Ming's confident look, he frowned. "Is my guess wrong? Is he really not the one who did it?"
"In short, you're a big suspect!"
Dongfang Ri said with a smile. "You'd better go back with us and stay in the family until you prove your innocence. What do you think?"
He winked, and the other three deacons immediately rushed out, their bodies bursting with a layer of summoning light.
Even though they were only talented businessmen, these four deacons were also soldier-level spirit controllers!
Dongfang Ao and Dongfang Yue looked at each other, but strangely, they kept silent and didn't make a move.
"Awoo!"
With the howling of the wolves, Iron-clawed Wolves, Explosive Fire Wolves, Blood Armor Wolves, and Zombie Wolves, all of which were Fighter Level, appeared and pounced on Wu Ming!
"Four idiots!"
Wu Ming smiled coldly. Suddenly, a high-pitched eagle cry came from the sky. In the howling wind, a huge golden eagle fell with its sharp claws.
Puff! Puff!
The four elite Phantom Wolves all screamed and fell to the ground. An amazing soul pressure emanated from Wu Ming, which made Dongfang Ri, Dongfang Jin, and even Dongfang Ao and Dongfang Yue look as if they had seen a ghost!
"General … General Level!"
Dongfang Yue's lips twitched. "Boy … You've become a General Level Spirit Controller! Damn it!"
Soldier Level Spirit Controllers were only the elites of the family, but General Level Spirit Controllers were the absolute backbone of the family and were even qualified to run for the Elder Group.
"No … That's impossible!"
Dongfang Jin's hair was disheveled, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Such … such talent … How could it be?"
The scene fell into a dead silence.
As early as when Wu Ming became a Soldier Level Spirit Controller, the Dongfang people thought that he was a rare genius, but now he had become a General Level Spirit Controller? The word 'genius' could no longer be used to describe him!
Such an excellent descendant might be the opportunity for the Dongfang family to rise. Should they suppress him?
"Caw, caw!"
More Dongfang people looked at the Iron-winged Golden Eagle, which was obviously a General Level Spirit Controller, with wry smiles on their faces.
To defeat a General Level Spirit, the Three Grand Elders or the hidden core force would have to make a move.
The existence of the Flying Phantom meant that even if Dongfang Shuoming could not defeat it, he could immediately escape on it. How could they fight against it?
"Wait!"
In the middle of the confrontation, Dongfang Dieyu ran over, panting. She held a black iron order tightly in her hand. "My grandfather said that Dongfang Shuoming is allowed to defend himself! He can't be charged with a crime yet! "
"This order has been approved by the Chief Elder!"
Dongfang Rouxin walked out leisurely. She looked at Wu Ming with surprise in her eyes. "However, you can't leave Boulder City during the certification period. Dongfang Shuoming, do you agree or not?"
"Since I didn't kill Brother Jie Ao, I'm not afraid of any investigation!"
Wu Ming said indifferently.
He knew that the treatment of General Level Spirit Controllers and Soldier Level Spirit Controllers was different!
Previously, the Imperial Wind House was in an uproar. The huge sum of one million spirit coins might be a source of trouble for Soldier Level Spirit Controllers, but it was enough to protect General-Level Spirit Controllers.
'Especially now that I've displayed two great deterrents! The strength of a General Level Spirit Controller is only the foundation. The key is that I have the Iron Winged Golden Eagle. I can attack and defend. If worst comes to worst, I can just ride on it and soar into the sky. Even the Chief Elder's Nether Wolf can only stare at me …
'Secondly … the Lava Tyrant is about to split up. Are the higher-ups of the family really willing to let go of my absolute advantage in combat?
'Therefore, this is now, and this is now …'
He dismounted and looked at Dongfang Dieyu.
"Ah Ming …"
Dongfang Dieyu finally heaved a sigh of relief. A relaxed expression appeared on her face. "You've put on a lot of weight …"
"Uh …"
Wu Ming was speechless. This cousin of his was really direct.
To be honest, after he left, he naturally wouldn't mistreat himself because he had money. Moreover, he had a master chef like Hou Yong with him. Not only did he not suffer much hardship, but he also ate and drank to his heart's content. Moreover, he was still growing. He was now half a head taller than Dongfang Dieyu, making him look even more muscular.
"No matter what … It's good that you're back!"
Dongfang Dieyu wiped her eyes and smiled sweetly.
