“Some things are simply too difficult to explain.” Elder Luo shook his head and said. “It would be great if Puti could come back. But based on her personality, I’m afraid she won’t!”
“If she won’t then I will go to her!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“No! You cannot! Xiaobei you have to forget about this! Saint Duke Starfield is no ordinary place! If you go rus.h.i.+ng in like that, you will die!”
“Don’t worry, Elder Luo. I know a thing or two about high-ranking Starfields. I have just returned from a Northern Wilderness Starfield! I understand that planet Earth is just the tip of the iceberg in this vast universe. I also know that I’m considered weak if compared to those high-ranking Starfields. Thus, I will continue to become stronger! So strong I can protect Luo Puti… so that I can protect everyone!”
“I trust in you, and I believe that you have a bright future ahead.” Elder Luo shook his head helplessly. “But I’m afraid you will never be able to reach Saint Duke Starfield’s level. I’m not trying to discourage you but, compared to Saint Duke Starfield, the Northern Wilderness Starfield is not even worth mentioning!”
“I know that. I’ve met the 12 priests, and I know that their strength are beyond demiG.o.ds! I get the picture. I can only imagine how powerful Saint Duke Starfield is! But I don’t think that it’s impossible to reach. Soon enough, I will get to places greater than Saint Duke Starfield!”
“Sigh, I suppose it’s enough to have a mindset like that.” Elder Luo let out a long, heaving sigh.
He believed that Chen Xiaobei was one of a kind, and had the potential to be at the very top of planet Earth. He could even make a name for himself in the Northern Wilderness Starfield. Sadly, he felt that Saint Duke Starfield was way beyond Chen Xiaobei’s reach.
He sighed not because he looked down on Chen Xiaobei, but because he felt sorry for him.
Sorry that Chen Xiaobei was born on earth, and bounded by its limitations. If Chen Xiaobei had been born on Saint Duke, he would have definitely made a name for himself by now.
As an earthling, he was a lesser being than the insects in Saint Duke Starfield. Why would he even consider going to places that were even higher in level?
Since Chen Xiaobei would probably be not able to do it, Elder Luo decided not to try and talk him out of it.
But what Elder Luo did not know was that, Chen Xiaobei thought nothing much of them, be it the Northern Wilderness Starfield or Saint Duke Starfield,
His ultimate goal was, and will always be the Heavenly Realm!
How were two mere Starfields even worth mentioning?
“Elder Luo, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. There are some matters I need to look into.” Chen Xiaobei did not explain what it was. Time always gave the best answers.
“Alright!” Elder Luo nodded. “Oh, right. Xiaobei, if you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask me.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Luo. This may not necessarily be about me.”
Chen Xiaobei gave the old man a smile before he left.
Once outside the Luo family manor, Chen Xiaobei gave Zhuo Qunfeng a call.
“Bro Bei! What made you call me out of the blue?”
Zhuo Qunfeng sounded very excited. After the expedition to the Black Desert, his respect and admiration for Chen Xiaobei had tripled. He now addressed Chen Xiaobei as Bro Bei.
“What happened in the Black Desert… has it been disclosed?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“No.” Zhuo Qunfeng lowered his voice. “All of us are saying that Zhou Xiaokun died because of the Thousand Spirits Formation. Why? What happened?”
“I heard that the grand elder of Xingxiu Faction is visiting Dragon City!”
“No!” Zhuo Qunfeng spoke faster now. “The grand elder of Xingxiu Faction has been undergoing some intensive training to breakthrough to demiG.o.d cultivation! There’s no way he would stop his training now!”
“I felt something wrong, and that’s why I called you. Could you go check and see what’s going on in Xingxiu Faction?”
“Alright! I’ll go find out now!” Zhuo Qunfeng was obedient to Chen Xiaobei’s orders and would do his best to look into the matter.
After that, Chen Xiaobei called Yue Changkong.
“Bro Bei, what do you need?” Yue Changkong asked. As Chen Xiaobei’s loyal hound, there was no need for formalities.
“Has Mount Shu Faction’s Situ Hengfeng been captured?”
“N… no…” Yue Changkong stammered. “Why are you suddenly thinking about this?”
“Mount Shu ‘s young master has come to Dragon City. He’s brought three core elders, and seven Celestial Cultivation elites! Something is surely going on here!”
“If that’s the case, Bro Bei must be extra careful!” Yue Changkong paused for a moment, and then resumed his statement, “I contacted Su Dongruo and sent out a few hundred disciples, but we still have yet been able to find Situ Hengfeng. Maybe Mount Shu’s young master did not come for Bro Bei!”
“Let’s hope so.” Chen Xiaobei inhaled sharply. He still had that feeling that something was wrong.
Ding Ring Ring!
Right after he hung up, a call came in.
“Focker? What is it?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Bro Bei! Something big happened!” Focker was almost blabbering. “I just got news. Every single member of Rothschild Family from Dragon City is asked to leave Dragon City immediately!”
“Every single member of Rothschild Family from Dragon City is asked to leave Dragon City immediately?” Chen Xiaobei rubbed his temple. “What happened exactly?”
“I heard that the Americans are going to attack Dragon City! There’s a prince of the Blood Descendant, a grand wizard from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry, and a Paladin from The Vatican. They have brought hundreds of their own underlings to Dragon City!”
“Prince of the Blood Descendants? Grand magister? Paladin?” Chen Xiaobei’s palm began to sweat.
“Yeah! These three are the elite of the elites! They are all Ethereal Cultivation! Even the underlings they brought with them are very strong! Something big is about to go down! Bro Bei, why don’t you bring your family to Paradise Island? You could hide here for a while. There’s no need to go to them!”
“Hide?” Chen Xiaobei laughed bitterly. “They’ve come for me! If I go to Paradise Island, the place will be ruined!”
“What?!” Focker gasped. “Come for you? Why is that?”
“I did something big in the US yesterday. The Americans hate my guts. They’ve sent a h.e.l.l lot of elites here for revenge!” Chen Xiaobei could hear the pounding of his heart in his ears.
The young master of Mount Shu, the grand elder of Xingxiu, and the American forces had all gathered in Dragon City like a turbulent undercurrent.
This all but confirmed that America had come for Chen Xiaobei. So had the other two families. What should he do?
Ding Ring Ring!
The fourth call of the day came from Zhuo Qunfeng.
Had he already found out what was happening?
