Long Live Summons

Yue Yang took advantage of Feng Ji’s old acquaintance to get through to Leader Jin and they finally got an invitation to the birthday party.

In addition to being in awe of his identity, Leader Jin who received over-the-top bribes such as the Heaven Rank War Beast Magic Crystal, was naturally very concerned about Yue Yang’s affairs. He tried his best, intending to pull this noble person Yue Yang into the social circle of the Country Lord Zhi Feng as soon as possible. Of course, he was just a low-ranked Leader, aso he wasn’t qualified enough to make an appointment for Yue Yang to meet the Country Lord Zhi Feng.

“Tomorrow morning, the Chief Executive will return to Green Willow City. It is estimated that in the afternoon, we will be able to arrange an appointment at a suitable time. Please wait for one more night, Master Titan,” Leader Jin not only respected Yue Yang, but also the Flame-Eyed Man, Jin Yun. He also regained his true enthusiasm as a friend, desperately trying to drag him to drink some wine and establish a good relationship.

“It’s okay, the Titan Commerce Group has the intention of joining the birthday celebration, so there’s no need to hurry,” Yue Yang smiled.

“In the past two days, many noble people have gone to the Country Lord Zhi Feng’s Palace to walk around. I wonder if Master Titan is willing to attend? Perhaps you might be able to meet some of your friends in the Palace!” Leader Jin wanted to make up for his lack of ability and wanted to talk about Yue Yang going to the Country Lord’s Palace for a walk. But let alone Yue Yang, Feng Ji and the Flame-Eyed Man Jin Yun who joined later, both knew that this was impossible. Before coming to the Green Willow City, this Young Master Titan had never been to the Heavenly Splendour Territory. It was simply done on a whim to seize the capital and the Green Willow City, so it was impossible for him to see any old friends.

“After the lunch break, if I don’t have any matters to tend to, I may go to the Country Lord’s Palace for a stroll,” Yue Yang didn’t mind going to have a look at the terrain and spy for some information.

He still didn’t really get why the war was still ongoing to this stage in the Heavenly Splendour Territory, after all.

Was it really as simple as it was said on the surface— that it was done by the first Domain Emperor?

Besides, even if there was a war between the three Domain Emperors, what did it have to do with ordinary people? Why should tens of millions of troops strangle each other in the war zones?

This kind of strangulation seemed to be a war, but after careful analysis by Yue Yang, Yue Yu, Princess Qian Qian and Drunken Cat Yu Jie, it appeared to resemble more of a blood sacrifice that would cost countless lives.What is the reason for the three Domain Emperors to invest sacrificing tens of millions of troops in the melee zone with their flesh, blood and lives? Although he didn’t know the truth, Yue Yang had reason to believe that existences above the level of the Country Lords should know something. Even if they didn’t know why countless blood sacrifices were made in the battles between the Domain Emperors, they should know something about the strange situations in the Heavenly Splendour Territory such as the Wind-Stopping Swamp, which was a forbidden place restricted by laws.

This time, when he came to Green Willow City, Yue Yang was not going to keep things as simple as torturing the wicked in order to kill and seize treasures. He also wanted to obtain the information of the Heavenly Splendour Territory from the strong such as the Country Lord Zhi Feng. At least, he had to squeeze out the truth about the Wind-Stopping Swamp and White River City.

Leader Jin looked at Yue Yang and agreed before he happily went back and prepared.

Although on the surface, this Young Master Titan did not seem to be a strong Heaven Ranker, he was secretly protected by Heaven Ranked guards, so he should be of a very noble existence. Getting to know such a noble person would definitely become a great benefit to him. Besides, this Young Master Titan was young— he was still so young and yet so powerful, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t reach the Heaven Ranks once he grew older?

“Those captured prisoners really don’t need to be brought back to the Tong Tian Tower for imprisonment first?” Yue Yu always felt that the prison car was too loose of a captivity for those who were Heaven Rankers. Although these villains had already been beaten up by Yue Yang, they might have their hidden skills. Once Yue Yang left, perhaps they would get away and escape.

“Don’t worry, they can’t run away,” Yue Yang was very calm.

“Those guys are already crippled and there are Zhong Guan, Hei Tu and Bai Ma who are guarding them day and night. If they can run like this, then Zhong Guan and the others should just kill themselves instead of being guards. I think the biggest problem is not about the prisoners, but it’s whether or not the people of the Tong Tian Tower are able to arrive in time. If something was overlooked or if there was even a slight delay, it would be possible for the Country Lord of Zhi Feng and the others to escape. This is their land after all— we’re not familiar with it and this was done on a spur of the moment; obviously, there would be a chance where things don’t always go to plan,” Princess Qian Qian felt that it would be better to bring Sky Execution and the other powerhouses Tong Tian Tower. Although there was a danger of revealing their strength and attracting attention, it was better than asking for troops to be dispatched when they were caught in a tight pinch.

“Those guys in the Sky Demon Palace are all belligerents. Can’t they just stay in their lodges nicely? There’s also that stupid Great Demon King Baruth and the others. Even if others were blind, they would be able to tell their identities if they were to really come!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie felt that there was going to be something wrong no matter what they did.

“If only Wu Xia was here,” Yue Yu sighed slightly.

In the past, most of their plans were conceived by Xue Wu Xia. Everyone discussed how to improve it, so it was not too difficult back then. Now that she was asleep and the burden fell on his shoulders, he realised that her role was really not easy.

It was impossible to count how many battles they have fought in the past. The ones that were so thrilling and dangerous that they almost failed included the unsealing of the Prison Emperor Palace, the Dark Prison King’s poisoning, the Death Arena, the duel with the Ancient Demon King, and the battle from the invasion of the Demon King. There were also various other battles, big and small, all of which were won by Xue Wu Xia and Yue Yang after negotiating with each other and making decisions.

Although everyone had something to add, the supplementations and improvements were completely different things from layout planning.

Yue Yang waved his hand, indicating that the three women should not pay too much attention to these things, “The so-called perfect and foolproof plan cannot exist. The plan can’t always keep up with the changes in things. We only need to have a basic route to move forward and we don’t need to pursue perfection too much. I know Wu Xia is not here and all of you want to help me, but you don’t need to make a unique plan to go up against the Country Lord Zhi Feng. Even if he escapes, we will chase him. We’re not in that dire of a situation where the plan needs to be 100% perfect, and it’s not like we’re going to die once the plan fails…”

Hearing what he said, the three girls secretly laughed.

Come to think of it, reality was like that.

With Yue Yang’s strength, it wouldn’t be too difficult to beat the Country Lord Zhi Feng.

The only thing that was slightly difficult was to determine how to catch all the warriors of the entire birthday celebration in one go to prevent them from escaping and alarming the three Domain Emperors.

Even if they took a step back and alerted the Domain Emperors to let them know of Yue Yang’s existence, they would at most be alert to the rise of a newcomer. No matter how suspicious they were, they would never suspect that the powerhouses of the Tong Tian Tower were coming. Not being alerted was the perfect execution of the plan, but it wouldn’t be a big deal to disturb the Domain Emperor either. Even if there was such an accident, it would not be fatal to the overall situation.

The reason why Princess Qian Qian and the others were so nervous was because they had unconsciously regarded themselves as Xue Wu Xia and pressured themselves to plan a perfect plan for him.

“Little San (Yue Yang), you can just stroll around and see if you can find out some information before you come back. If it’s really not going to work, then I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to help,” Yue Yu was peaceful by nature and didn’t like fighting very much, so expressing her will and initiative to fight was a rather rare occasion.

“Great!”

Yue Yang knew that she didn’t want the plan to fail as soon as Xue Wu Xia fell asleep, which explained her enthusiasm.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Yue Yu’s strength has skyrocketed.

Now, she was no longer the weak Yue Yu who needed Yue Yang’s protection. When Yue Yang needed her, she could really stand up and become a powerful aid for him!

***

On the streets of Green Willow City, the residents here were very strange and behaved unlike anything Yue Yang had seen before. The rich and the poor were polarised— with the rich getting loaded while the poor have nothing. The rich were dressed in fresh clothes, sated, satisfied and full of lavishness. The poor were naked and many children wandered on the streets, looking for every opportunity to make money, such as cleaning shoes for the rich, sweeping horse dung for the rich, running errands for the rich. They used their dried up, darkened and thin bodies to do unimaginably hard work in exchange for a little black bread to fill the belly.

It would be alright if they were given the money that they were promised. The worst part would be meeting the arrogant higher-class status citizens that not only didn’t reward them for their hard work, but also gave them a few kicks on their ribs and bones.

The same goes for mercenaries.

The mercenaries with strength and backing were prosperous and proud of the spring breeze.

Some mercenaries were downcasted like the walking dead, following others behind their backs, betting with their lives, mixing with the hungry that lost all hope. Many mercenaries were homeless as they laid down on the streets with signs that stated they’d hunt demons below the 5th Level for one gold. Besides that, they have nothing and some mercenaries were desolate to the point where they didn’t possess their weapons.

In comparison, on both sides of the street, there were tall, majestic and magnificent buildings of all kinds; all of which show the prosperity and wealth of Green Willow City.

Here, it was a paradise for the rich.

But it was also a hell for the poor.

Yue Yang sighed slightly. Although the Tong Tian Tower was also supreme in strength and preyed on the weak, no matter how bad it was, it was not like the Green Willow City. Emperors like Jun Wu You and the others would occasionally take care of the people’s livelihood even if some leader was considered to be a fool at governing.

In the Soaring Dragon Continent, no matter how bad it was, if you were cheeky and took refuge in certain families as servants, you could still have a meal.

There were thousands of hungry people that laid on the streets of the Green Willow City.

He had never seen anything like this. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

The entire Zhi Feng Country— no, perhaps the entire Heavenly Splendour Territory was like this.

“Get out of the way, you pariahs! Gentlemen of the Heaven Rank, you are about to enter the city, so maybe hurry up and keep your eyes squinted so as not to contaminate your noble sight!” A guard came back from the city gates and hurriedly drove the hungry people who were lying down on the street. He had them hurry to hide in some dark alleys, so that the outside world would not see their ugly states. Some citizens with slower movements were punched and kicked by the guards and it would not be surprising if they were directly hacked to death if they hadn’t escaped quickly.

“Welcome, welcome! We warmly welcome the distinguished guests to visit Green Willow City!”

A group of people flew out from the Country Lord’s Palace. Most of them were beautiful women with exposed fronts and the other half were guards with bright armour.

They lined up together and happily greeted these kinds of foreign envoys. Most of these envoys were friends of the same level as the Country Lord of Zhi Feng and a few were VIP guests invited by him.

The Head of the Three Chief Executives personally welcomed him as one of the Country Lord’s Four Marshals, Bai Sui, accompanied the Yue Yang throughout the entire journey.

Leader Jin introduced to Yue Yang that he was supposed to arrive late at night, but because the journey was relatively smooth and there were no accidents when he passed the edge of the Wind-Stopping Swamp, he arrived half a day earlier.

Not far away, more than a dozen Heaven Rankers up to the 3rd Level formed a rather conspicuous team.

Accompanied by the Head of the Chief Executives and the Marshal Bai Sui, Yue Yang flew into the Green Willow City with a smile on his face.

Originally, Yue Yang was not very interested in these people; it’s not like he hadn’t seen a bunch of Heaven Rankers together before. However, there was a ten-metre-high giant among the team, which really made Yue Yang dumbfounded. The size of this giant was neither the tallest nor the shortest, there was nothing special about his appearance and the armour on his body is relatively ordinary, which seemed to be unremarkable.

His strength was not bad as it was equal to the strength of the two most prideful faces in the team— all at the strength of a Level 3 Heaven Ranker.

“Crap, this damned fellow!” Yue Yang cursed.

“What?” Leader Jin was scared to death. It wouldn’t matter if this Young Master wanted to let out his anger, he could do it any day at any time; but he absolutely must not go against that Heaven Ranker team. Even if this Young Master Titan turned out alright in the end,Leader Jin’s life wouldn’t be spared if such an incident happened. He was going to try to persuade Yue Yang to go back and convince him that it would be fine if he wanted to beat him or scold him when he went back as long as he didn’t do anything rash here. That’s more than a dozen Heavenly Rank powerhouses!

Yue Yang kicked him away, pointed at the ten-metre-tall giant and shouted, “When you see an old friend, why don’t you say hello? That’s too outrageous!”

When the giant saw Yue Yang, he was even more stunned.

His expression is unbelievable.

Standing beside him, there was a powerhouse who was also at the3rd Level Heaven Rank and asked with a light snort, “Tian Ri, is that your friend?”

The seemingly unremarkable giant nodded before he suddenly laughed and strode towards Yue Yang, “What fate we have to meet each other across thousands of miles, so I couldn’t recognise you from afar. Damn kid, I haven’t seen you for so long and you have already grown up so much. You really gave this old man a shock! Though I did hear that you were up here, I didn’t expect you to mix in with… hey hey, what sort of flashy clothes are these? And the Holy Level Ring, Rain Flower? Where’d you steal this from?”

Those Heaven Ranked powerhouses saw that they were old acquaintances and didn’t care much. They just glanced at Yue Yang curiously and moved on.

On the other hand, the Head of the Chief Executive’s eyes flashed like lightning.

Immediately, he summoned Leader Jin to ask about Yue Yang’s identity. Of course, except for the name of Master Titan, he knew about nothing else. Leader Jin had also just gotten in his line of work, so he didn’t know anything about him either.

“Serve him with all your strength and find out. He’s the friend of Lord Tian Ri? This young man is really not easy!” The Head of the Chief Executive gave Leader Jin an order.

“Yes,” Leader Jin was overjoyed to be used so much and his bones were lighter by a few pounds.

Over there, Yue Yang and the ten-metre-tall giant were scolding each other in a low voice.

Yue Yang was unceremonious and directly spoke, “I have seen a lot of people pretending to be a pervert, but I have never seen someone who pretended to be as coercive as you! You’re obviously at the Level 8th Innate Supreme Rank but here you are, pretending to be a 3rd Level Heaven Ranker. What the hell do you want to do? Ming Ri Hao, you lied to this Young Master so miserably! I was really blind at the beginning to trust that you were merely a 3rd Level!”

The ten-metre-tall giant was the golden giant Ming Ri Hao that he had seen in the Prison Emperor’s Palace, but now he had hidden his golden light in a low-key manner and even his appearance had been made ordinary.

It was not a bad thing to disguise, but with the strength of the 8th level of the Innate Supreme pretending to be the 3rd Level Heaven Rank?

Yue Yang felt that it was impossible not to lecture him to death!

Ming Ri Hao made a quiet move, “Don’t yell out, it’s not good for everyone. You pretend to be your rich Young Master, I’ll pretend to be my Heaven Rank mercenary— everyone can get what they need!”

“I’ll give you ten seconds to explain, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on a friend!” Yue Yang gave him the look that indicated he was going to tell if he didn’t let him know what was going on.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to this damned Green Willow City. Forget it, I’m just unlucky to meet you… Before I say it, tell me about you first. You opened the God’s Ruins to absorb the Divine Power? How did you progress to this state? I can’t see your strength clearly. Could it be that your strength has surpassed mine? How is this possible? If this is the case, what is the Prison Emperor’s title as the best progresser back then?” Ming Ri Hao was even more curious about Yue Yang.

“This Young Master has made rapid progress because he is a genius and it has nothing to do with the God’s Ruins,” Yue Yang summed it up in one sentence and then asked Ming Ri Hao,: “I’m done talking, and when it comes to you, what are you doing here? By the way, I wrote so many love letters but why did your sister reply to none of them?”

“Don’t ask me about your businesses!” Ming Ri Hao seemed to be extremely afraid of his younger sister Ming Yue Guang and he refused to talk more.

“Then why are you here? Don’t tell me, you are so bored that you have come here for a walk,” Yue Yang snorted very unhappily.

“We’re in the streets discussing some important national affairs and that’s unsightly. Let’s go find a restaurant and sit down and have a drink. If I were to talk about this in detail, I won’t be able to finish it in three days and three nights,” Ming Ri Hao felt a little conflicted. If Yue Yang was like before, he would have been able to kill him that moment. But he was now grown up and different as he couldn’t tell his level at all, so he couldn’t finish him off now. INstead of becoming enemies, he had to become friends with him too.

Anyway, it didn’t seem that bad to have a cunning and shameless guy like him as a companion.

Student Yue Yang also has other thoughts. If this Ming Ri Hao wasn’t the eldest brother of his little girl Ming Yue Guang, he would have started to think of ways to eliminate him as well.

But Ming Yue Guang was to be pushed down by his own reservation; this guy was strictly nothing but her big brother. He had good strength, good brains and hiring him would be very cheap. Overall, becoming alliances with him wouldn’t be a loss.

Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to cooperate.

Anyway, if I can’t get a big advantage this time, I’ll get it back from his sister in the future!

Fortunately, Ming Ri Hao couldn’t read minds. Otherwise, he would have yelled at him. “My sister? I’ll get it from your sister!”
