A farm that breeds gods and demons
Chapter 627 - 482 "Elephant Head God" Behemoth (Sixth Update)

An authoritative middle-aged man watched the ancestor’s retreating figure, suddenly struck by the realization that the ancestor truly was old.

With the royal scepter in hand, the middle-aged man simply issued a few commands. One of these orders was directed at Lance, the city lord of Fire Hell Main City.

Upon hearing the strict middle-aged man’s command, Lance couldn’t help but exclaim, "Father, why? If Lei Leian is in danger, how can we ignore it?"

"Lance, you should understand, Lei Leian has the Indestructible Body. She will be fine. This matter is extensive. Don’t worry, if this is handled well, Lei Leian will also become your woman."

Lance was momentarily stunned, perplexed as he said, "Father, I do not understand."

"Lei Leian has always relied on her parents. If...her parents were no longer around, could she refuse you?" The authoritative middle-aged man slowly spoke words that shocked Lance. After a moment of silence, Lance gave his tacit approval, speaking weakly, "I understand, Father, but you must promise that Lei Leian will be safe."

"Rest assured, son, she won’t have any troubles." The middle-aged man chuckled lightly before ending the communication.

When Feng Ming, the city lord of Ocean Main City, arrived at the City of Seven Towers wanting to pay respects to the ancestor, she was informed he was in seclusion and wouldn’t receive anyone. She also found out that the authoritative middle-aged man was not in the city.

Feng Ming stood outside the grand hall, stunned. Then, her body started to tremble slightly as she quietly walked away.

She knew that the ancestor’s "coincidental" seclusion at this juncture and the authoritative middle-aged man’s sudden "departure" only conveyed one message: they had already received the news and had chosen not to interfere.

"How cold human sentiments can be...even amongst one’s own kind..." Feng Ming sighed deeply, a chill settling in her heart. She spoke softly, a hint of desolation in her voice, "Sister... Brother-in-law, what on earth happened to you in the upper realm? Otherwise, their change of attitude would not have been so abrupt. Something...something must have happened."

With a slight tremble, tears began to pool in her eyes. "Ao Lei... I have always believed...that you, invincible throughout, will surely win this round too... Lei Leian will also be fine." With a sudden bite at her lip, she whispered, "Lei Leian, even if they refuse to help you, your aunt is here. Even if I die, I will stand with you." She threw a teleportation scroll, and before long, she arrived at the Sky Main City.

Feng Ming knew that even if she returned to Ocean Main City and summoned all the city lords under its jurisdiction for aid, there would be no use. Judging from the attitude of the ancestor and the others, she had a grim intuition about the seriousness of the situation. It was far from something a few Sixth-order or Seventh-order warriors could handle. Even with more reinforcements, it would be for naught.

Feng Ming was not foolish. From the ancestor’s attitude, she already had a faint suspicion about the affair involving the struggles of the Upper Realm.

"Humph, ancestor, don’t be too complacent. Ao Lei had already laid his pieces down years ago. We won’t be defeated so easily," Feng Ming muttered with a cold smirk. When she reached Sky Main City, the defensive systems of the entire city were activated. The sky was filled with a solemn atmosphere, quiet for the time being but emanating a cryptic sense of an imminent storm.

Feng Ming contacted Lei Leian, who greeted her with a surprise, "Aunt."

Feng Ming chuckled and nodded at her, "Don’t worry. Majatai of Sand City is nothing but a laughingstock. His attacking Sky Main City will absolutely not succeed."

Feng Ming was intimately familiar with the defense systems of Sky Main City, and she knew just how challenging it would be to breach a main city.

At the moment, all the strong practitioners from the cities under the jurisdiction of Sky Main City were gathered at the city’s square. Within a palace, Lei Leian, Feng Ming, and several other men and women in white robes and bare feet, all of whom had reached the Seventh Order, were assembled. Above the palace was a transparent ceiling, allowing a direct view of the overcast sky, foreboding an impending catastrophe.

Feng Ming did not tell Lei Leian about the attitudes of the ancestor and that authoritative middle-aged man from Sky Reaching Giant City, so as to avoid upsetting her. But Lei Leian wasn’t naïve either. Knowing that Feng Ming would surely go to see the ancestor and the others, she wondered why only Feng Ming had arrived. "Aunt Feng, shouldn’t the ancestor and the others be aware of what has happened here too? So why isn’t there any news from them?"

On earlier occasions, when such serious events had taken place, her magical scepter would have received instructions on how to manage the situation. But this time, there was no message at all.
