Chapter 392: Chapter 308: City of Steel (Third Update)_2

"Lin Shi, don’t be impatient. We still have time. The heavy rain affects us, but it must also impact our enemies. Why the hurry? Four to five hours it is, the key is that everyone should be safe." Qin Jiagui’s voice passed unhurriedly through the pouring rain. He was a calm character, not hasty, the destruction of the Life Nest was important, but the safety of everyone was ultimately the most critical.

Braving the torrential rain, Su Yu and a party of fifteen people were heading towards the third Life Nest. Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Pit Forest beyond sight to the northwest of the River of Oblivion, after crossing a vast and majestic mountain range, lay an endless blue ocean. Within this blue ocean stood towering steel columns branching out of the sea, almost piercing the sky.

One hundred and eight heaven-reaching steel columns were securely embedded in the seabed. Between these numerous steel columns, steel beam crisscrossed, supporting layer after layer of buildings that began a dozen meters above the sea surface, stretching upwards to more than thirty floors. The black steel structures covered an area exceeding a thousand acres.

This was the City of Steel, standing erect in the ocean. Above the thirty-story steel city was an exquisite White Jade Palace, built from white jade stone, with a total height exceeding one hundred meters.

At this moment, on the platform above the White Jade Palace in the City of Steel, a figure draped in a robe woven of black and white silk stood, overlooking the ocean below, the distant mountains, and even the farther forests.

This figure stands tall and straight, simply clad in a wide robe, standing with hands clasped behind their back, like a mountain, giving off a sense of majesty.

Behind this majestic figure clad in a wide robe, five people kneel on one knee, reverently bowing behind this silhouette.

These five people, three men and two women, were all dressed in neat half-black half-white robes, with jeweled wide belts around their waists.

"Sir, based on the information sent back by Si Li, it seems someone has maliciously attacked us, intending to disrupt your plan. We will immediately set off and capture the enemy alive in front of you, waiting for your disposal."

Among the three men and two women, a pale-faced man with a head full of blonde hair speaks. There is a weird bronze nail between his brows. His tone is quite respectful. Even when speaking, he doesn’t dare to lift his head, as if looking up would be a sign of disrespect to the figure with back facing them.

The silhouette, hands behind back, wide robe covering even the clasped hands.

"No, I don’t want to know which faction they belong to. I just want you to ensure the ritual progresses without disruption. Go. The issue of the Life Nest, I entrust to the five of you."

At this point, the silhouette finally turns around, revealing his true face.

He’s a man of imposing stature but an exceedingly narrow face. A black stripe is etched on the left side of his face, adding a hint of wickedness to his narrow horse face.

Although his face is as long and narrow as a horse and quite ugly, his eyes flash like cold lighting, commanding awe, and one dares not look directly. His voice is gentle, and when he said, "entrusted to the five of you", he extended his right hand from behind his back. The five kneeling people, in turn, stand up, bow deeply to him, then with a "whoosh", quickly depart from the massive platform built of white jade stone.

Shortly, a strange machine flies out of the majestic Steel Giant City, exceeding imagination.

The machine, looking like two steam airships joined together, with the middle fashioned like a flying carriage, slowly departs from the Steel Giant City.

On the machine, which resembled a carriage, stood the same three men and two women from before.

This man with a narrow face, marked with black stripes, turned around on this White Jade platform, its gaze falling on the Flying Sky Machine that was slowly departing from the City of Steel. His eyes shimmered, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

This Flying Sky Machine, that looked like two steamships connected together, started off slow, flying at a leisurely pace. However, very quickly, thick white columns of light shot out from its twin steamships, causing the air at the rear to subtly distort.

With a "whoosh", all of a sudden, this colossal Flying Sky Machine shot out at lightning speed, dragging behind two long trails of light. In an instant, it became a small black dot, and soon, even the black dot vanished from sight. Its velocity was unimaginably fast.

"Anoka, where is Anoka? I want—Anoka—"

This man with a narrow face and imposing stature stood atop the White Jade platform, gazing at the colossal Flying Sky Machine zooming far away in an instant. His gaze flickered, seeming deep in thought. Suddenly, from the palace behind, came the noise of a child throwing a tantrum.

The man with the narrow face immediately spun around, only to see a small figure rushing out from the door opposite him.

"Anoka, why aren’t you by my bed? I told you, when I wake up, I want to hear your voice—" The little figure that burst out was none other than a girl who appeared to be five or six years old.

The little girl was pretty and adorable, her face round, but her eyes were vacant and empty of spirit.

She was blind.

"City Lord, be careful!" Two maid-like figures cried out in alarm from behind. Suddenly, the blind girl shrieked, tripped over a step, and was about to lunge forward.

"City Lord—" The man with the narrow face was slightly taken aback. Without any visible movement, his robe fluttered up, then slowly fell back down. In the next moment, he had already materialized in front of the blind girl who was on the verge of falling. He gently reached out both arms, and the little girl fell right into his embrace.

"City Lord, I’ve told you before, you can’t be so headstrong. If you fall, what will we do?" The man with the narrow face cradled her. His face, which had once possessed a hint of devilish charm, was now filled with affection.

As he was speaking, a sinister aura suddenly flashed across his face. "I asked you two to take good care of the City Lord, but you let her trip and almost get hurt. Given your negligence, what use do I have for you?" He stretched out a hand, pointing towards the two maids.

The faces of the two maids turned ghastly, and they fell on their knees, trembling and screaming, "Lord Anoka, spare us..."

Anoka contracted his hand in emptiness, and the bodies of the two maids began to levitate, twisting continuously. Quickly, they started bleeding from their seven orifices. With wide-open mouths, they screamed silently, their faces distorted in unspeakable terror, as if they were experiencing the most horrifying thing in the world.

"Anoka, they didn’t do anything wrong, please spare them." The little girl in Anoka’s arms suddenly raised her face and said in a tender voice.

Hearing the girl’s words, Anoka’s face softened once again, with an expression of affection. "Since the City Lord has pleaded for both of you, I will spare both your lives..." He lowered his left arm, and the two maids, who had just been levitating, fell to the ground once again. Quickly, they prostrated themselves, calling out, "Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord."

"However..." Anoka said coldly, "Although your lives are spared, you will not escape punishment." He clapped lightly. Quickly, a group of five people, clad in half-black half-armored uniforms, burst in, fell to their knees, and chorused, "Greetings, City Lord, greetings, Lord Anoka."(To be continued.
