210: It's white! It's really white!

Although it was a bit embarrassing for Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang, as Demon Lords, to act as subordinates, it depended on whose subordinate they were.

Even though Chen Heng was a Human Race member, his strength was formidable. The benefits of following him far outweighed those of being a City Lord.

"Not bad, quite clever."

Chen Heng nodded in satisfaction, successfully acquiring two Household Guardian Beasts.

"Then, how should my sister and I address you?" Zhu Ri still didn't know Chen Heng's name, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.

"My name is Chen Heng. Call me whatever you like."

"A name is just a title; I don't care about such things."

"Ah!"

A scream came from not far away. Zhu Chang covered her skirt, her face flushed crimson.

Bai Jun, on the other hand, sat stunned, his face full of shock.

"Big Brother Chen, it's really white! Transparently white!"

"..." Chen Heng.

Why is your thought process even stranger than mine?

"Cough, Brother Chen, can you ask your little brother to stop lifting my sister's skirt?"

Seeing Bai Jun still wanting to take another look, Zhu Ri had no choice but to speak.

"You pervert!" Chen Heng also couldn't take it anymore and kicked the offending Bai Jun flying.

After putting on his top, Chen Heng walked back to Zhu Ri and scrutinized him from head to toe.

"Aren't you two Yao Race members? How can you use Geng Metal Qi, which specifically counters evil Yao?"

"Brother Chen, as you know, we possess a trace of White Tiger Bloodline, so we are not considered evil Yao."

Zhu Ri had also changed into a new set of clothes; he couldn't stay naked forever.

"Geng Metal Qi is actually a type of our Bloodline talent, which is why my sister and I are not suppressed by it."

"So that's how it is." Chen Heng nodded.

"Actually, I'm also quite surprised. I didn't expect your Geng Metal Qi, Brother Chen, to be so pure—much purer than my Bloodline talent."

"I only knew that Human Race members could master relatively impure Geng Metal Qi after cultivating their Martial Skills to the extreme, but such pure Qi is the first I've seen."

After experiencing Chen Heng's Geng Metal Qi once, Zhu Ri couldn't help but exclaim.

"That killing intent is incredibly sharp, and it's accompanied by the aura of constellations."

"Yes, the saber technique I practice draws upon the power of constellations."

Chen Heng patted his black fiend blade, not concealing his Martial Skill.

In his opinion, as long as one's strength was sufficient, there was no need for concealment.

Only cowards hide themselves. A true man just gets it done, constantly in a state of battle.

Anyway, as long as his Qi and blood didn't run dry, he wouldn't die. What was there to be afraid of... "Then, may I ask Brother Chen to guide my sister and me in our Geng Metal Qi..."

But before Zhu Ri could finish speaking, a blood-red token descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

Zhu Ri frowned and reached out to take the token.

"Effective immediately, any areas contaminated by black qi must be completely eradicated. The black qi contamination is worsening, and those contaminated by black qi can secondarily contaminate others. All commanders outside must be careful!"

"Do not show mercy to those contaminated; immediately reduce them to ashes!"

"Phoenix Cry Pass..."

"Trouble..." The token in Zhu Ri's hand disappeared, but the expression on his face grew even more solemn.

"Why does it feel like Resident Evil?" Chen Heng also heard the message relayed by the token, but he didn't quite catch a part of the latter half.

"Brother Chen, please rest inside the manor first. I need to attend to some matters."

Zhu Ri bowed, then turned and left the back mountain with his sister.

"Let's go." Chen Heng was also not one to stand on ceremony, leading Bai Jun and the Snake Demon Lord towards the City Lord's manor.

Along the way, Bai Jun secretly leaned close to Chen Heng, a hint of lewdness in his eyes.

"Big Brother Chen, it's really white, especially white."

"I saw it." Chen Heng nodded, though what he saw and what Bai Jun saw were not the same thing.

One was ( ), the other was I... As the three just entered the City Lord's manor, a Demon Slave very thoughtfully offered tea.

But before the three could even warm their seats, a loud bang came from outside the City Lord's manor.

"More trouble." Chen Heng sighed, grabbed his black fiend blade, and walked out.

When Chen Heng reached the front of the manor, he realized that the source of the loud bang was none other than Zhu Chang.

She had already reverted to her original form, a giant tiger with a white base and black markings.

"What happened? Who beat you up like this?" Chen Heng squatted down and asked, looking at Zhu Chang, who was bleeding from her seven orifices.

This was his newly acquired Household Guardian Beast; he couldn't let anyone damage her.

"Also, where's your brother?"

"I, my brother is trapped. He sent me..."

Zhu Chang coughed up another mouthful of dark red blood, her voice very weak.

"Bai Jun! Come out and give her the Medicinal Pill!"

Chen Heng yelled behind him, and Bai Jun leaped out with a big jump.

Before Chen Heng could say another word, Bai Jun pulled out a handful of blood and qi replenishing pills from his cloth bag and stuffed them into Zhu Chang's mouth.

Bai Jun tapped Zhu Chang's body several times, and Zhu Chang unconsciously swallowed the Medicinal Pills.

After only a few seconds, Zhu Chang let out a pained howl and began to vomit blood.

No, it wasn't blood, but rather some black viscous liquid.

"What is this stuff?" Chen Heng moved back with a look of disgust, afraid of getting any of the oil-like substance on him.

Once Zhu Chang had purged the 'oil' from her body, she finally recovered some strength.

"Senior Chen, my brother is trapped in Phoenix Cry Pass. The two Demon Lord commanders there have been contaminated by black qi, and my sister and I are no match for them."

"My brother took the full force of a mad Demon Lord's attack to send me out. Please save him!"

"Phoenix Cry Pass?" Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. Wasn't his next destination Phoenix Eagle City?

"Wait, you two tigers can't defeat two birds?"

The two City Lords of Phoenix Eagle City were Phoenix Blood Crane and the elder of the Golden Eagle clan.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The brother and sister duo themselves possessed considerable strength, not to mention their combined attack skills.

They shouldn't be unable to defeat them.

"Mr. Chen, you don't know, but Yao Race members contaminated by black qi not only become violent but also experience a rapid increase in strength."

"My brother and I were already somewhat injured from our earlier spar with you, so now we are even less of a match."

After listening to Zhu Chang's words, Chen Heng suddenly realized that this blame seemed to fall on him.

If he had been a little gentler just now, even with injuries, the two could have escaped back completely intact, avoiding the current situation.

"Alright, I understand."

Chen Heng sighed. Even for the sake of the Household Guardian Beast at his doorstep, he had to help them.

What's more, he happened to be going to Phoenix Cry Pass anyway, so it was just a detour.

"You stay in Golden Tiger City and recover. I'll take care of your brother's matter."

Chen Heng gently patted Zhu Chang's large head, then stood up and winked at Bai Jun.

"You two stay here and look after Zhu Chang for a bit. I'll be back soon."

With that, Chen Heng leaped and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Mr. Chen, those two Demon Lords are very dangerous..."

Zhu Chang was about to warn Chen Heng to be careful when she realized Chen Heng had already vanished.
