Immortal Path to Heaven

Thunderbolt-it was the thunderbolt power indeed.

Multi-armed King Kong was highly spirited, and it had a complicated look in its eyes. It secretly glanced at Ou Yangming and acknowledged his ident.i.ty more than it did before.

After all, the beings from that specific clan were the only ones that could easily grasp the power. The giant spirit beast subconsciously bent over a little and thought, "It"s truly an honor to be able to submit to a master like him."

“Boom…”

When the white light became so striking to a certain point, an intense sound wave burst out. The huge tree was snapped into two, and it collapsed to the ground.

Nonetheless, the tree was already badly beaten. In particular, the detached parts were as dark as burnt ashes, which was quite a ghastly sight.

Ou Yangming and the two beasts fixed their gazes on the split. Although the thunderbolt was not quite powerful because Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow could easily create a similar effect with their claws, they were still overjoyed.

A long journey began from a single step.

Since Ou Yangming had arrived at the threshold, he had the ability to continue to study it. Even though he had not perceived much yet, judging from his ability, it was quite like that he could smith pieces of thunderbolt-proof equipment before the Heavenly Thunderbolts struck them.

Afterward, Ou Yangming turned his wrist and withdrew the long rod. “Let"s go!”

The big yellow dog immediately jumped in front of him and lay its body flat. It stared at the young fellow.

Before Ou Yangming could even react, he heard Multi-armed King Kong"s furious roar.

When he looked up at the ma.s.sive creature, he noticed that it was glaring at the big yellow dog as if it was enraged.

Even so, the big yellow dog looked up proudly as though it was saying, "You can"t do anything to me."

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He flashed and got up to the big yellow dog"s back and said, “Stop messing around, let"s go.”

Nevertheless, it was then when Multi-armed King Kong expressed, “Master, I"m faster, so it"s better if you sit on me.”

The big yellow dog instantly stopped and barked several times at the giant spirit beast.

Ou Yangming gently patted its head and replied to the spirit beast, “It"s fine. We"ll head to the prefecture first while you wait outside. If n.o.body offends you, control your temper and don"t cause any trouble.”

“Yes, Master.” Multi-armed King Kong could only obey him, but it looked meaningfully at the big yellow dog. It was as if it was wondering which part of the dog"s body would be delicious.

Following that, the big yellow dog zoomed away. They returned to the prefecture and made a flashy appearance.

Multi-armed King Kong would cause a huge sensation whenever it showed up. Despite that, everyone in the city knew the gigantic creature was no longer the Humans" enemy and would possibly become their guardian instead.

The people did not fear it anymore, but they became more curious.

When they heard the giant spirit beast had returned and was waiting far from the prefecture, many people flooded the walls to watch from afar.

Ou Yangming was slightly unhappy about it, but he could not stop the people from being so fervent, so he simply let it be.

The moment he returned to the Ni residence, he was suddenly summoned by Her Royal Highness.

Looking at Wu Haohan, who had come to deliver the message, Ou Yangming asked in shock, “Did you say that Her Highness wants me to have an audience with her?”

“That"s right,” Wu Haohan answered seriously with a nod.

Ou Yangming had a weird look on his face. In actuality, given Wu Hanning"s ident.i.ty, it would be fine if she summoned him, but ever since they met, the peculiar lady had never acted like a princess in front of him.

Even so, he did not overthink it. He informed Old Craftsman and the others before he left with the big yellow dog.

After meeting Multi-armed King Kong and sensing the immense threat from it, the big yellow dog was not willing to leave Ou Yangming"s side easily. It seemed to know it was not as mighty as the giant spirit beast, thus it needed to compensate for its shortcoming in other ways.

Ou Yangming was still somewhat uneasy when he met Wu Hanning.

He did not fear Her Highness, but he could not deal with the princess"s strangeness, which was intentional.

Having said that, his concerns were gone as soon as he saw Wu Hanning.

This was because Her Highness still treated him with the same att.i.tude and was a little friendly, causing him to unknowingly miss it.

Ou Yangming got along with Wu Hanning differently from with Ni Yonghong and Bai Shixue, but there was an indescribable feeling between them.

“Brother Ou, please take a seat.” Wu Hanning gestured to Ou Yangming to settle down in his seat and said, “I"ve sent the message about you subduing the Eight-armed Giant Beast to Father. He"s delighted to hear it, and he"d like to congratulate you.”

“So fast?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

The imperial family had the fastest news channel in the world, but he was sure that the information transfer before this was to such an extent.

Wu Hanning grinned and explained, “We initiated a hidden information transfer during the Humans" disaster, but it consumes plenty of resources.”

Ou Yangming nodded and was relieved. It would be quite frightening if the imperial family could normally receive information at such speed too. Wu Hanning pursed her lips and smiled. “Brother Ou, other than congratulating you, Father wanted me to ask you a few things.” Ou Yangming became focused. He knew this was perhaps the reason Wu Hanning had summoned him as the princess because she was not representing herself at the moment, but His Majesty the Emperor. “Your Highness, please go ahead,” he responded.

“Father wants to ask if the high-rank spirit beast that you overcame is willing to go on an expedition to help the Humans.” “Of course,” Ou Yangming answered without any hesitation.

“Great.” Wu Hanning was elated. Though she knew the answer before she asked, she could not help but feel euphoric after Ou Yangming confirmed it. “Brother Ou, for the second thing, I"ll have to speak to your spirit beast.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He looked sternly at Wu Hanning and said, “Okay, I"ll go with you.”

Wu Hanning was a precious figure, but Multi-armed King Kong would not care so much. Without Ou Yangming"s company, even if it would not crush the princess, it would not spare her a glance too.

The princess nodded and expressed gently, “Thank you.”

Ou Yangming cleared his throat. When he noticed Wu Hanning"s gleaming and highly-spirited eyes, he dared not stare at her too long, so he stood up and led her away from the prefecture. This time, n.o.body stopped Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning when they left.

From the moment Multi-armed King Kong kneeled in front of the main wall, it gained the people"s trust. The people believed that it would not threaten the Humans" safety anymore. While Multi-armed King Kong humbled itself in front of Ou Yangming, it was indifferent toward Wu Hanning. Perhaps it did not have any room for her at all.

Ou Yangming let out a dry cough and stated, “Multi-armed King Kong, this is a good friend of mine, and she"d like to ask you some questions, so answer her honestly.”

He did not reveal Wu Hanning"s ident.i.ty when he introduced her because he knew it would not make any difference. “Yes, Master,” Multi-armed King Kong answered in a rumbling voice. It later glanced at Wu Hanning through the corner of its eyes and uttered, “Ask away.”

Wu Hanning bowed slightly at the spirit beast. Ou Yangming could order Multi-armed King Kong about, but n.o.body else was qualified to do so. “Sir King Kong, you"re a high-rank spirit beast, so how did you descend to our world?” “Hmph, it"s because of the interspatial disorder. You might not be able to sense the disturbance, but I suppose someone can, right?”

Wu Hanning nodded when she heard the spirit beast"s meaningful words. She continued, “I"m aware of the interspatial disorder, but I didn"t think a powerhouse like you could descend here.”

“Hehe…” Multi-armed King Kong lifted its head arrogantly. “Woof!” The big yellow dog barked to express, "What"s so amazing about being a high-rank spirit beast? You became someone"s pet anyway."

Multi-armed King Kong glared at Big Yellow and swore, "I must find an opportunity to devour this despicable evil dog!"

Wu Hanning quickly questioned, “Do you know anything about the three other spirit beasts that will descend?”

The giant spirit beast clearly hesitated. Ou Yangming frowned and asked, “Is it inconvenient for you to tell us about it?” Multi-armed King Kong was taken aback, and he responded right away, “It"s not that, but I heard the Four Great Racial Groups will send a representative here once in a century. I don"t know much about them, but…” It glanced at Ou Yangming and noted, “If you try to subdue another spirit beast, it shouldn"t be a problem.”

“Subdue another spirit beast?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. It was evident through his eyes that he was extremely shocked.

n.o.body would reject the opportunity of being followed by another formidable spirit beast like Multi-armed King Kong.

Wu Hanning asked with bright eyes, “Sir, how do you know?” Multi-armed King Kong was struck dumb a little as if it realized that it made a slip of the tongue. It quickly explained, “It"s just a feeling —a strong feeling.”

While its reply could not deceive even a fool, Wu Hanning dared not ask further. She raised another question after some thought, “Which other spirit beasts do you think Brother Ou can conquer?”

“The bird,” Multi-armed King Kong answered, “Among the fish, the insect, and the bird, the bird spirit beast won"t disobey Master no matter what.”

Ou Yangming was rather moved. Multi-armed King Kong had not said much, but it revealed hints of a piece of secret information.

"Is the senior, who has been continuously helping me in the dark, an expert in deterring and subduing bird spirit beasts?"

That said, judging from Multi-armed King Kong"s look, he knew it would not reveal the answer.

Wu Hanning nodded. “If that"s the case, we"d like to completely solve the disasters in the eight counties this time, and I hope you"ll help us.”

Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice, “Have the three other spirit beasts appeared?”

“Due to the interspatial disorder, the spirit beasts sent by the Four Great Racial Groups are more powerful than the ones before,” Wu Hanning replied and looked deeply at him as she added, “Luckily, you"re here…”
