96: Ah Xiu has gone missing.
Hearing the Man in a Suit's offensive words, the Gluttonous God was instantly enraged!
With a low roar, terrifying pressure spread out!
The entire Liaoyuan immediately trembled!
All the demonic beasts looked towards the high peak!
Why is Lord Demon God so angry?
A terrifying pressure enveloped the Man in a Suit. The latter's body trembled, but he immediately withstood it.
He forced a smile: "If Lord Gluttonous God kills me now, the cooperation between the Demon Race and the Red Robe Cult will have to be terminated prematurely!"
The Gluttonous God suddenly bit down fiercely. With this bite, the Man in a Suit's expression instantly changed, and in the next second, his body rapidly retreated!
Immediately afterward, a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth!
"Hmph! You are merely humans! Our cooperation with you is your honor! Know your place!"
The Gluttonous God looked at the other party indifferently.
A hint of cold killing intent flashed in the Man in a Suit's eyes, but it quickly vanished. He chuckled and said, "As expected of a Demon God, truly powerful."
The Gluttonous God said flatly, "I know you are probing, but the power of a Demon God is not something a Pseudo-Ninth-Tier like you can imagine."
"Perhaps."
The Man in a Suit wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then slowly said, "The first piece has been played. Now, let's start the next phase of the plan!"
"When the time comes, I hope your Demon Race truly has the strength to turn the tide!"
Having finished speaking, the Man in a Suit turned and left.
The Gluttonous God watched the Man in a Suit leave, a look of disdain appearing in its eyes.
"Mere human. Sooner or later, this seat will devour you!"
Immediately, it looked in another direction and said flatly, "What do you think?"
A masked human slowly walked out from the shadows. He had been waiting there from the start, intentionally hidden by the Gluttonous God.
The human man slowly said, "The plan with the Red Robe Cult was actually largely successful. Not only did humanity pay a price, but we also got a rough idea of their power distribution. Therefore, our next move can be completely unrestrained!"
The Gluttonous God hesitated for a moment, then said, "The God of Blood Ghouls was severely injured..."
The man said flatly, "That just means it's useless now. Furthermore, there was an element of luck involved. Unfortunately, it ran into the Pei Family Ancestor, who is ranked highly among humanity's Ninth-Tiers!"
"The God of Blood Ghouls is a newly promoted Ninth-Tier of the Demon Race. Its strength naturally cannot compete with those old fellows of the human race."
The Gluttonous God gave him a deep look, then said, "Even so, we only forced out the foundation of the Pei Family."
"That's enough!"
The man said softly, "As long as we understand the foundation of one family, we can extrapolate the others among the Noble Families. Moreover, thanks to our promotion over the years, the relationship between the Noble Families and The Authorities of Dragon Country has been less than harmonious! This is an opportunity for us!"
The Gluttonous God showed a hint of satisfaction: "When it comes to using brains, you humans are superior."
The man chuckled: "You flatter me. In fact, before absolute power, all schemes are mere fleeting clouds."
The Gluttonous God chuckled softly: "You are quite self-aware."
The man shook his head and smiled.
"Right, have you reached the bottleneck of Taiping now?"
The Gluttonous God suddenly asked.
The man nodded: "I am only one step away from Sixth-Tier."
The Gluttonous God nodded: "Your cultivation is too weak. You must quickly improve. You can use resources and treasures without restraint, but you must also demonstrate your value to the Demon Race!"
The man nodded slightly and said, "Naturally."
... "Lao Bai, over here!"
Inside a relatively intact restaurant, Qi Tian was sitting and waving towards the door.
Soon, a young man walked in.
It was Fang Bai, who had rushed over.
The latter frowned and asked, "Just you? Xiao Yuan didn't come?"
Qi Tian said, "I already notified him, but that blockhead probably got lost."
"..."
That's typical Xiao Yuan.
Fang Bai spoke in a deep voice: "What's the situation now? Are you saying A Xiu is missing?"
Just yesterday, Qi Tian called him and told him that A Xiu couldn't be reached!
Fang Bai also rushed over without a second thought.
Qi Tian nodded and said, "The phone I gave her has my private number. She called me, but didn't have time to speak."
Fang Bai looked at him with a strange expression: "Wait, when did you give her a phone?"
Qi Tian's mouth twitched: "Is that the damn point?"
Fang Bai said, "Keep going. Are there any clues?"
Qi Tian immediately pulled out his phone and said, "I had someone intercept the location from her phone and found that she had moved far away from Magic City. You know, she should normally be back in her hometown."
Fang Bai frowned: "Could her phone have been stolen?"
Qi Tian rolled his eyes: "Do you think that's possible? Who among ordinary people could steal her phone? And these days are a special period of demonic beast invasion, so maybe some lawless elements made a move!"
"Are you suggesting a Cult might have made a move?"
Fang Bai reacted instantly.
Qi Tian shrugged and said, "I don't know about that, but the location is still active. What should we do?"
Fang Bai thought for a moment, then said, "Of course we're going to rescue her!"
A Xiu is their companion, and they couldn't just watch something happen to her.
Qi Tian said, "I've already sent someone to A Xiu's home. I believe we'll get useful information soon."
Fang Bai nodded: "Alright, let's wait then."
Qi Tian suddenly asked, "By the way, where have you been making a fortune these past few days? Judging by your appearance, you must have gained quite a lot, right?"
Fang Bai glanced at him: "What about you?"
Qi Tian shrugged and said, "I was naturally recalled to the company to do grunt work. There was an A-Rank Alien Space nearby, and a group of demonic beasts rushed towards my family's company."
"But it's A-Rank. Your Old Man can handle that alone, right?"
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow.
An A-Rank Alien Space can be soloed by an ordinary Seventh-Tier.
Qi Tian chuckled: "Of course! That day was the first time I saw the true strength of my family's company. You wouldn't believe it—three Seventh-Tier Experts were standing right in front of the company gate, slaughtering everything, leaving us nothing but support roles!"
"And I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already reached Third-Tier!"
After Qi Tian finished speaking, he immediately showed a smug expression.
Fang Bai's gaze was a little strange: "That's good. Are you a Dual-Element Third-Tier?"
Qi Tian shook his head: "Not quite. My Light Element reached Third-Tier, and my Wood Element is still a bit short. But I have to say, power increases really fast during these disasters!"
Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Fang Bai: "What about you? Where did you go to kill demonic beasts?"
Fang Bai shrugged: "Me? I took a trip to the Third District and killed a Fifth-Rank Demonic Beast while I was there."
"Oh... huh? What? What Tier?"
Qi Tian didn't react at first, then suddenly his eyes widened!
Fang Bai then pulled out a Golden Shovel medal: "Fifth-Tier. My clothes are just a little dirty, that's all. Oh, right, I also earned a merit."
Qi Tian: "..."
