Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 534
Chapter 534: Chapter 342: Hundred_2
“I…I failed you… ” Celica Shingo sobbed uncontrollably, finding his voice failing him. He felt that he had not been a competent father. Otherwise, his child wouldn’t have suffered so much, and even required Logan’s rescue from thousands of miles away.
The Shingo Butcher coughed, waving his hand, “You can continue, I’ll go ahead. I was just here for the fun. If I have the chance, you must come to drink with me. And I will also strive to cultivate myself and strive to become a dominant power one day.”
Lowen Shingo bowed three times. Even though they had not known each other prior, the man had still joined in the plan to save him.
“I’ve always held a grudge against those six great sects, and I didn’t help much. My cultivation realm is still too weak.”
The Shingo Butcher gave a faint smile, telling him not to worry about it, and then left freely.
Celica Shingo hesitated and looked at Lowen, “Come back to the sect with me. The six major sect heads have all fallen, and all those elders in the sect who once bullied you are gone. As father and son, let’s reunite the Shingo Clan.”
Initially, Lowen Shingo wanted to refuse, but in the end he agreed. He understood that his father couldn’t handle the sect affairs alone, and as a son, he had to return and help. After bidding farewell to Logan, he also left.
“Only two of us left now, where should we go for our next trial?” Bart Cloud asked Logan. With the departure of Celica Shingo and his son, this matter had come to an end. Now that the crisis had passed, it was time to think about where to go next.
Logan shook his head and shrugged, “I don’t know yet. Let’s leave the Demon Beast Mountain Range first. There’s a broad world out there that we must explore. We’ll just go wherever we end up. Compared to staying in one place to cultivate, the more you walk, the better you’ll understand cultivation.”
“I’m just a bit short of the opportunity to break through to the Dominator stage. The opponents and enemies I’ve been encountering recently are getting stronger and stronger. The power of the Perfect King’s Seat is indeed not enough. Only by reaching the Dominator Realm can I be considered a true dominant power.”
Bart Cloud looked gloomy. For example, the enemy they encountered this time was only a Dominator. The six sect heads were all Half-step Saint Seats, so he could only be a burden, with Logan having to solve the problem on his own.
Logan saw Bart Cloud’s thoughts and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t be too eager. Many people strive for a lifetime and fail to reach the Perfect King’s Seat. The King’s Seat is considered super first-class combat power. The reason why there are so many Dominators and Half-step Saint Seats is just because we encountered the six major top-ranking sects.”
The two left the Demon Beast Mountain Range, planning to go north because they were closer to the Instance, meaning the enemies they encountered would be stronger. This way, their cultivation could gain further trials. Along the way, they were very casual as they walked and rested.
After an unknown length of time, perhaps half a month had passed, they arrived at a city. The City Wall of this city was incredibly long, stretching hundreds of miles, giving a sense of the enormous scale of the city, which likely housed nearly tens of millions of people.
The two entered the city smoothly, but the next moment a group of horsemen surrounded them. Logan had a quick look at the group; they were of considerable strength. The leader had already reached the Common King’s Seat, and the majority of the group were High-ranking Oversteps.
Bart Cloud was puzzled and asked, “What’s this about?” The group of people did not answer, but kept looking at Logan. They even ordered someone to come forward to search them, which Logan couldn’t tolerate and was about to start a fight.
At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded from one side, “Don’t make a move, these two are friends of mine, Ernest Nango, understand? They must not be enemies.” The horse riding group looked at him and respectfully withdrew immediately.
The newcomer was a young man with a charming face, “Don’t be angry, the reason for such strict search is because the two lords have recently been in a bitter feud and seem to want to start a fight. We’re worried about enemies sneaking in.”
“Why did you step in to help?” Logan asked with a stoic face. He had never met the other man before and did not owe him any favours. The sudden assistance he offered to Logan was rather unusual, suggesting that he might have ulterior motives.
“I bear no ill will towards the two of you,” he responded. “I saw the extraordinary aura you two possessed. If a fight had broken out, it would have caused a major disturbance. The citizens would be terrified. By helping you out of the encirclement, I also saved those peoples’ lives. Why not do it?”
Ernest Nango approached, asking kindly, “Do you both have a place to stay? If not, why not rest at a nearby inn? I have a deep connection with the innkeeper. Let’s consider it as becoming friends. There will be no need for spirit stones for payment. I hope you don’t hold a grudge over the prior incident.”
“No need.” Logan responded with a slight smile and waved off his suggestion. “We are new here, being interrogated is normal. Besides, you it wasn’t your fault. How could I let you bear the burden of all this? I’ll find an inn somewhere.”
Afterwards, with Bart Cloud, they left. Ernest Nango still wore a kindly face, but behind the scenes, he motioned for someone to tail Logan. Logan’s spiritual power and consciousness were extremely powerful, having seen everything within his vicinity.
Without changing his demeanor, Logan said to Bart Cloud, “They have ulterior motives. Since we’re here, why not play along with their scheme? I want to see what they’re plotting. Let’s find the nearest inn and put on a show.”
The two of them found an inn nearby to rest, ordered a big meal, then returned to their room to meditate and recuperate. Logan’s consciousness enveloped nearby streets and he saw the person tailing him consistently patrolling these streets.
Night fell, and everything became quiet. The streets were deserted, and the moonlight seemed to have disappeared. Logan had a gut feeling that if Ernest Nango truly had an nefarious plan, he would act tonight.
A few hours passed, someone suddenly appeared outside the window, and then blew a smoke into the room. This smoke could put cultivators into a deep sleep. Bart Cloud wanted to retaliate, but Logan communicated telepathically for him to pretend to have fainted.
The person then entered the room and started to search their belongings. Neither Logan nor Bart Cloud had much luggage, and anything valuable would certainly be stored in their storage spaces. Hence, all they found in the luggage were some dry food and spirit stones.
Ernest Nango frowned and grumbled, “Despite their extraordinary aura, I thought they would have a lot of heavenly treasures. There were only a few thousand spirit stones in their luggage. What a waste of my day’s planning.”
“I have plenty of spirit stones. There are hundreds of thousands in my storage space – do you want them?” Logan suddenly stood up and said casually. This made Ernest Nango jump and turn around, only to see that Logan was unharmed and not unconscious.”
Ernest Nango was left in a state of confusion. His Deep Sleep Spiritual Grass could put even a Strong Dominator to sleep if they weren’t careful. Why wasn’t Logan affected? Could he have offended an even higher-ranking Dominator without realizing it?
Ernest Nango shook his head the next moment. Given Logan’s young age, how powerful could he be? Even with his own prodigious talent, he was just at the Perfect King’s Seat. At most, Logan could be an average King and possibly not even at the Transcendent Tier yet.
Ernest Nango’s eyes turned cold, and a divine weapon appeared in his hand, “Initially, I sought only your fortune. However, now that things have progressed to this stage, I have to take your life as well. Otherwise, if this gets out, the Lord will not let me off the hook.”
“Do you have the strength to do so?” Bart Cloud suddenly stood up and said. He and Logan had held their breaths and blocked out the smoke earlier, so they weren’t affected at all. Seeing the one-on-two situation made Ernest Nango a bit nervous.
No matter what, even if they had the numbers advantage, he believed he could defeat them using his terror-inducing combat power at the Perfect King’s Seat. He wanted to resolve the battle in three moves, making it quick and quiet so no one notices.
