Chapter 211: Cassius Returns, Demons Arrive
"Thinking back then, Wu Erqi and I fought the Heavenly Snake Ancestor for three hundred rounds. The battle was so intense that the sky was completely dark, and the sun and moon were extinguished. If the Heavenly Snake Ancestor hadn't used his secret technique, his head would have been placed in front of Ilovich's ice coffin by now."
"The Heavenly Serpent Ancestor is truly despicable. He couldn't defeat us in a one-on-one fight, so he actually called for help. They're called upon the Seven Heavenly Serpent Generals, and they have a hundred thousand Heavenly Serpent soldiers. They're all besieging us together. The scene is incredibly dangerous."
"At this critical moment, a divine sword descended from the sky, its fierce sword force making the Sky Snake Clan tremble in fear. The next moment! Our young master made a brilliant appearance!"
"Young Master Arthas raised the Sword of Sorrow and slashed at the Sky Serpent Clan ninety-nine hundred and seventy-eight times. In an instant, the Sky Serpent Clan was decimated, with at least thirty thousand dead. No, fifty thousand!"
"The Heavenly Snake Ancestor glared and was about to fight the young master to the death, but he was beaten by the young master and cried for his parents, and he just ran away."
"The young master pointed at the Heavenly Snake Ancestor and shouted: The one wearing the red robe is the Heavenly Snake Ancestor!"
"Guess what? The Heavenly Snake Ancestor is also very flexible. He took off his clothes in a flash and performed a naked streak for everyone!"
"Why don't you believe it? Did you see the flag hanging above? That's not a flag, that's the clothes of the Heavenly Snake Ancestor!"
"Then the young master shouted again: The one with the beard is the Heavenly Snake Ancestor! The Heavenly Snake Ancestor took out a knife and cut off the beard."
"Our young master thought this wasn't going to work. Guess what he yelled? Then he shouted, 'The one with the head is the Heavenly Snake Ancestor!'"
"Although the Heavenly Snake Ancestor was a fool, he wasn't completely brainless. He knew he couldn't escape, so he immediately knelt down and surrendered to the young master. Not only did he obediently hand over Ilovich's body, he also politely escorted us out of the country."
Oronar boasted to his acquaintances about their great achievements on the Serpent Star, and incorporated the stories he heard from Wu Erqi into his stories. Should he not have said it, he should have written a novel.
Wu Erqi was now very regretful, because the robe reminded him of Cao Cao's act of cutting off his beard and discarding his robe, so he joked with Oronar: You can use this robe to brag to others.
He just said it casually, but Oronar really listened to it and took it to heart. He never tired of bragging about it to others and told the same story at least ten times.
If the people of the Sky Snake Clan heard this, they would definitely be held accountable.
In recent days, there have been frequent reports of experts secretly spying on Dark Night City. It seems that the recent commotion in Dark Night City has made the major forces in the Titan Galaxy uneasy.
Wu Erqi was a kind-hearted man. Whenever anyone was discovered, he would send someone to warn them from a distance and persuade them to leave. If anyone was dishonest, he would catch them and beat them up, but would eventually let them go.
Today, another expert came to the door and started fighting no matter how much they were persuaded. As a result, the defending army lost the battle. After receiving the report, Wu Erqi led his men to the city gate.
"Who dares to come to my Dark Night City and act so recklessly?"
The shout came before the person arrived. Wu Erqi's loud shout aroused the morale of the defenders, and they all issued warnings to the challenger.
Wu Erqi was surrounded by the crowd and approached, but suddenly he froze in place.
"Cassius!"
"Erqi, I'm back!"
Cassius excitedly hugged Wu Erqi.
"Be bold!"
"City Lord, be careful!"
The soldiers defending the city shouted anxiously, but Wu Erqi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and they stopped making noise.
"How did you find this place?"
"I went back to White Star first, but the base there had already been abandoned. Luckily, I remembered you had set up several emergency hiding spots there, and I learned from them that you were in Dark Night City."
"Come in first and tell me what you have been doing all this time."
"Well, I have a lot to ask you."
Wu Erqi pulled Cassius into the Dark Night City and brought him to the city lord's hall.
"I can't believe you, Erqi, have become the Lord of Dark Night City. I've heard a lot of legends about Dark Night City. It was once the most glorious city in the world."
Cassius exclaimed.
"It's a shame it's down and out now, but it's not a big deal. With me here, it will prosper again sooner or later. Do you feel the concentration of spiritual energy is much higher? In fact, Dark Night City is the eye of the storm, and it will gather all the spiritual energy from Prism Star and even the Titan Galaxy here."
"What a unique place! But won't there be many people coveting it?"
"Unfortunately, the Titan Galaxy is rife with demonic energy. When spiritual energy gathers, it also attracts demonic energy, which is a double-edged sword for cultivation. This is also why the people of Dark Night City are so fierce."
Cassius asked anxiously, "Does that affect you?"
Wu Erqi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, although there will be a slight impact, it's not a big one. This eye of the storm is actually very weak, so small that people can't easily feel it. Do you think the wind in Dark Night City is strong?"
Cassius thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed the case.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where have you been these past two years? It's like you disappeared."
"We have been walking towards the edge of the universe, passing by constellations such as Draco, Ursa Major, and Narcissus, and finally arrived at the end of the universe - the Eye of the Universe."
"We encountered many powerful individuals along the way, even opponents powerful enough to rival Puni. Among them, the demon king guarding the Eye of the Universe possessed a mysterious and powerful power of chaos. We went through tremendous painstaking efforts to seal it."
"The Seer has already entered the Eye of the Universe? It's really not easy."
Wu Erqi sighed lightly.
"Yes, they have entered the Eye of the Universe, but we all miss our hometown, so we came back together."
"Rei and the others are back?"
"Rey and Gaia returned to Helka, Muse returned to Serpens, and Blake returned to Grace. However, we agreed to meet up on Helka after we were done."
Cassius told Wu Erqi without reservation.
"They're all very nice people."
Wu Erqi also nodded.
Unfortunately, space pirates and good guys have conflicting horoscopes and can't play together.
"Erqi, I heard that you had some friction with the five divine beasts."
Cassius inquired.
"Let's just call it friction..."
Wu Erqi recounted the grievances between the two sides in a more acceptable way, but Cassius' eyelids still twitched.
"Erqi, why don't you leave the Space Pirates? Dean can't restrain you anyway with your strength."
Cassius advised.
"Dean may not be a good person, but he is indeed a good boss. He treats me well and does not impose any restrictions on me. I am basically semi-independent in the Obi organization."
"But Dean is too ambitious. I'm afraid you'll be implicated by him sooner or later."
"We'll talk about the future later."
Cassius understood what Wu Erqi meant, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
"By the way, on our way here, we heard that an evil force is plundering the constellations outside the six major galaxies. It seems to be not too far from your Titan galaxy. You must be careful."
"Evil forces? Looting everywhere?"
Wu Erqi didn't quite understand. Could it be that he met a colleague?
In fact, "space pirates" are not all from the same family, and the Obi organization is just the largest and most famous one among them.
There are many small groups of space pirates scattered throughout the universe. Most of them make a living by plundering. Some of the more promising ones can occupy a planet and transform from space pirates into a legitimate force, but they will occasionally return to their old ways and rob passing spaceships.
On the other hand, in the five major galaxies, most of these small forces have been completely swallowed up. Even those evil organizations that meet the requirements of "space pirates" in all aspects generally do not dare to call themselves "space pirates" because space pirates are deeply bound to the Obi organization.
"I heard they call themselves the Demon Clan. I remember Dark Night City also seemed to call itself the Demon Clan."
"They're not ours. There are very few old people in Dark Night City now. They're rarer than antiques. But you mentioned the demons... could it be them?"
Just then, Caesar rushed in.
"City Lord, please let us go!"
Caesar's eyes were wide open and his expression was ferocious.
"Calm down first, what's going on?"
"My hometown, Shinra, and the entire Asuka constellation have fallen! My people fought desperately to break through and pass the news to me! I beg the Lord of the City to let me go back. I swear to heaven that I will come back!"
Caesar said in a sad voice.
"Okay, you and your people go back quickly."
"Thank you City Lord!"
"I plan to go back with you too. I want to see what this demon is!"
