Giant Rock City.
Dongfang Dieyu put down the last letter and sighed helplessly. She rubbed her brows.
"Patriarch …"
Dongfang Tie stood to the side with a cold expression, "Patriarch … what do you think about this surrender letter?"
"The world is in chaos, and it's fine for us to submit to a Monarch Spirit Controller. We should pay the price, but handing over control of Giant Rock City is still a bit shocking …"
Dongfang Dieyu smiled bitterly, "Giant Rock City is the foundation of the Dongfang Family. It cannot be given away …"
"But … the other party is a Monarch Spirit Controller … Even if we contact Shuoming, I'm afraid …"
Dongfang Tie looked worried.
"I believe in Ah Ming. He's a genius not inferior to Jun Xuanming!"
Dongfang Dieyu finally smiled when she mentioned Dongfang Shuoming.
"You're really …"
Dongfang Tie smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ever since Jun Xuanming made his debut, he had become a Monarch Spirit Controller at the age of eighteen. He was invincible and was known as the strongest genius in the history of the Flame Continent.
Dongfang Shuoming still gave him the impression of the Spirit Controller who had subdued the Lava Tyrant. Dongfang Shuoming might be talented, but he paled in comparison.
"But … with the Lava Tyrant's foundation, it might actually break through to the Monarch level in three years … Although it might not be a match for that lord, it will definitely make the Dongfang Family's situation much better …"
Dongfang Tie murmured.
What they were discussing was actually the same thing!
The Flame Continent was in chaos, and all kinds of ambitious people appeared one after another. Even the Monarchs and Monarch Spirit Tamers, who had always been elusive, appeared in the human world. They began to support their own representatives in the struggle for hegemony and profit.
Giant Rock City was within the sphere of influence of a newly rising power, the Five Poison Triad.
The leader of the Five Poisons Gang was the Five Poisons Gentleman. He was a Monarch Level Spirit Controller who had been famous for a long time. He was famous for using poison-type illusionary spirits. Even among the veteran experts, he was extremely difficult to deal with.
Using his name, the Five Poison Triad quickly subdued dozens of families and a dozen small cities near Giant Rock City. They were the overlords of the north.
Three days ago, the Five Poison Gentleman had sent a letter with his name on it to Giant Rock City!
In the eyes of the Five Poison Triad, it was only natural for a Monarch Level Spirit Controller to force a small family to submit to them.
In truth, Dongfang Dieyu had thought of giving in, but her demands were simply too harsh.
The control of Grand Boulder City was the foundation of the Dongfang Family!
The Dongfang Family managed the market, the various fees paid by the Spirit Controllers in the city, and the taxes paid by the citizens and ordinary people. Not only did the Dongfang Family not suffer any losses from the Lava Tyrant's departure, but it also flourished even more.
But now, handing over the management rights to someone else?
Not only would this greatly damage the Dongfang Family's interests, but it would also cause a disaster. Since there was already someone to rule Giant-Stone City, what use was there for the Dongfang Family?
Dongfang Dieyu's expression was grave and stern as she looked at the visiting card. "Grandfather … I've thought it through. Our Dongfang Family cannot give in this time!"
"Hiss …"
Dongfang Tie sucked in a breath of cold air. "Our opponent is the Five Poisons Association. Not to mention the fact that their population and influence are tens of times greater than ours, what do you plan to do with that Five Poisons Gentleman?"
"So … Grandfather, please evacuate the elites of the family as soon as possible. As the head of the family, I will naturally stay here and live or die with Giant-Stone City …"
Dongfang Dieyu combed her messy hair behind her ear and smiled bitterly. "I hope that the lord doesn't like seeing a broken city and can give us more lenient conditions … If that doesn't work, then we can only perish together!"
As the Wolf Daughter of the Wolf Family, Dongfang Dieyu was wise and decisive in making decisions like this. She wasn't inferior to the leader of any family.
"Perish together … Dieyu, why do you say such disheartening words?"
After a period of silence, a youthful voice suddenly sounded. It had a strange charm to it, and the confidence contained within it caused Dongfang Tie's expression to change. "This is …"
"Ah Ming!!"
Dongfang Dieyu cried out in pleasant surprise. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her dignity as the head of the Dongfang Family as she dashed out of the house.
At the side of the garden, there was indeed the figure of a young man who was not even twenty years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was angular, and his bright eyes, handsome and brilliant face, and his magnetic voice made him seem like a god made of jade. He was filled with a strange charm. No matter if it was a young girl in the prime of her youth or a married woman who was deeply in her boudoir, their hearts would definitely be moved upon seeing him and they would be unable to control themselves.
"You … you …"
Although Dongfang Dieyu believed that this person was her younger cousin, the rare genius of the family, Dongfang Shuoming, from his demeanor and silhouette, she didn't dare to go forward and greet Wu Ming. Her cheeks were still slightly red, and it seemed like tears were about to fall from her eyes.
"Long time no see, I'm Dongfang Shuoming …"
Wu Ming inwardly cursed the Great Desolate Green Wolf as he took the initiative to speak.
"Yes … you are Ah Ming!"
Dongfang Dieyu hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She scolded herself inwardly. Why did she lose the dignity of a family head the moment she saw this person?
"Shuoming, you came at the right time!"
Dongfang Tie stepped forward in place of Dongfang Dieyu and welcomed Wu Ming into the house. "The family is in big trouble, and I have no choice but to be thick-skinned and beg you this time!"
He was old and experienced, and he naturally knew that this huge change in a Spirit Controller meant that the Phantom Feedback was extremely powerful.
"Dongfang Shuoming should have already reached the Monarch level, right? Even if he is just a newcomer, the Five Poisons Playboy will still have to give him some face! "
"Five Poisons Playboy?!"
Wu Ming took the letter that could be said to be the final ultimatum, but he smiled leisurely, "No problem, leave this person to me!"
As a veteran Monarch level expert, he had some impression of this Five Poisons Playboy.
Of course, what impressed him the most was that this person seemed to be related to the birth of a Gold Type Phantom Spirit!
In the past, even if Wu Ming knew about this, he could only stare at him. After all, he wasn't strong enough to deal with this person. But now, everything was different.
Since this person had delivered himself to his doorstep, what reason did he have not to accept?
"Okay …"
Dongfang Tie beamed with joy and reminded him carefully, "He is a senior. When you see the Five Poisons Playboy, be polite, and no one will laugh at you …"
He was still worried that Wu Ming was too proud and arrogant, so he reminded him again and again.
"Oh …"
Wu Ming laughed inwardly. Dongfang Tie felt helpless when he saw Dongfang Tie's expression as if he didn't hear him.
"Okay, okay, Ah Ming's return is a joyous occasion for our family. I have to give you a proper welcome …"
Dongfang Dieyu finally recovered. "You have to tell me everything that happened in these three years … It must be very interesting, right?"
…
Hiss!
Smoke billowed, and yellow sand filled the sky.
An army of mortals, led by many spirit controllers, arrived outside Boulder City.
"Master, Boulder City is just ahead!"
In the center of the army, a general-level spirit controller knelt down respectfully. "Boulder City is the trading center of the nearby area. It is rich in resources and was originally jointly managed by the three great families. Three years ago, the Dongfang Family destroyed the Tantai and Wuma Families and took complete control of the city. The current master is Dongfang Dieyu …"
"A little kid at the general-level …"
The Five Poisons Playboy's skin was as white as jade, and there was not a single wrinkle on his face. However, his hair and beard were all white, and he wore a dark green robe. His entire person was filled with an evil aura.
At this moment, looking at the outline of Boulder City, his eyes flashed with a mysterious light. "Boulder City's wealth is only average, but there is a silver-type Lava Tyrant sealed underneath …"
Silver-types could only be found by chance. Even monarch level spirit controllers rarely could raise all of their phantom spirits to the monarch level.
This silver-type was naturally very tempting to him.
As for the rumor that the Lava Tyrant might have been subdued by a youth from the Dongfang Family?
The Five Poisons Playboy snorted.
What did they think a silver-type was? A youth that was not even twenty years old, so what if he was a genius? Did he have the soul foundation to withstand a silver-type's counterattack?
Did they really think that every genius was Jun Xuanming?
"Show your flag!"
He waved his hand, and the three armies roared, raising the flag of the Five Poisons Playboy.
"Woo woo!"
At this moment, the gates of Boulder City were tightly shut, and a distant and desolate bugle call came from afar.
"Hmm?"
The Five Poisons Playboy frowned slightly. Those who knew him well knew that this was a sign that he was beginning to expose himself. "The Dongfang Family is very bold, huh? I originally wanted to leave a branch behind, but now it seems that I'll just wipe them all out! "
"Master is wise!"
The attendant beside him immediately bowed. "The strongest person in the Dongfang Family is Dongfang Tie, and he is also a newly promoted general-level. This subordinate can deal with him alone!"
"Alright … you can go …"
The Five Poisons Playboy was about to say something when his expression suddenly froze. He looked at a youth that had appeared on top of the city gates, his eyes full of seriousness.
"Roar …"
"Roar …"
Under the city wall, the phantoms such as jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards had been summoned. They bared their fangs and were ready to go. However, when the enemy appeared, they were all cowering with their tails between their legs, wishing they could bury their heads in the soil.
Rumble!
Just when the spirit controllers were wondering what was going on, a terrifying soul coercion with the aura of a monarch suddenly erupted from the city walls.
"Monarch level!"
"The soul coercion of a Monarch level!"
The Spirit Controllers screamed miserably. Everyone was thrown off their feet, and the situation was chaotic.
"A Monarch level spirit controller!"
The Five Poisons Playboy stood up and looked at Wu Ming, who was on top of the city walls, with a trace of astonishment on his face. "This must be the famous Dongfang Shuoming of Boulder City, right? He is indeed a genius, and he is not inferior to Jun Xuanming! "
