Chapter 498: Chapter 252: The Strong Return

Nathias entered the merging plane with Blacktooth and Lightfish.

As soon as he entered the plane, Nathias furrowed his brows and spoke, "This plane is highly unstable. You all must be cautious at all times and not overdraw your magic power, to avoid causing a spatial collapse."

"Lord Nathias, I don’t quite understand. That imperial baron is indeed formidable on the battlefield, but in the end, he’s just at the Second Transition. Do we really need all three of us to take action?" In the sea tribe’s council hall, Lightfish had given Nathias enough respect, but only after entering the merged plane did he express his doubts.

"Bringing you and Blacktooth is to ensure a sure kill. This youngster has numerous tricks up his sleeve, having once summoned the shadow of a god-level demon beast. If it weren’t for me calling Her Majesty the Queen for assistance, I’m afraid I would have long been sleeping in the human empire’s territory," Nathias explained. "This youngster has numerous tricks up his sleeve, we must be vigilant."

"Where do we go to find him now?"

Nathias pointed towards the solitary tribe’s direction and said, "Since he has been assisting the solitary tribe in resisting us, then let’s go find the solitary tribe. I don’t believe he won’t show up!"

Three days flew by, and Nathias arrived at the iron city built by the solitary tribe.

In the face of Nathias’s overwhelming power, any resistance was futile. Just like how Lu Hong had slaughtered the sea tribe army before, Tong Ling became a prisoner at their mercy.

As for Lock Fan, he had fled early on with Lai Li. For a fighter of Lai Li’s caliber, Nathias would never hold back due to her injuries; a certain kill without a doubt.

"So you are the king of the solitary tribe?" Blacktooth trampled Tong Ling underfoot, his eyes brimming with mockery.

"So what if I am? If you have the guts, then kill me!" Tong Ling was suppressed, with no chance of resistance.

Though the Divine Eye was powerful, the absolute difference in strength prevented him from even seizing the opportunity to activate it; he was captured with a single move.

Nathias approached Tong Ling, first pushed Blacktooth away, helped the former up, and then said, "I have no interest in your solitary tribe. Just tell me where the imperial baron is, and I can guarantee to leave this plane for you, and my sea tribe will never invade."

"Heh, you think I would believe you?" Tong Ling scoffed.

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you. For the continuation of your species, I think you might want to consider taking a gamble," Nathias said with a smile. "I’ll give you an hour to think it over. After an hour, I will start killing. For every minute that passes, a solitary tribe warrior will die. I see there are at least three hundred thousand solitaries in this city, so you have plenty of time to think."

Faced with Nathias’s words, Tong Ling fell silent. Indeed, he could die for Lu Hong, but he had no right to gamble with the future of the solitary tribe or decide the life and death of his people, even though he was now their king.

Tong Ling’s mind was in chaos; not knowing how long had passed, Nathias casually grabbed a solitary tribe warrior and threw him in front of Tong Ling.

The trident pierced the warrior’s spine on the spot, and the immense pain caused the warrior to let out a miserable howl.

"Uncle Lin!" Struggling in vain, Tong Ling watched helplessly as the man before him was subdued.

"Your Majesty..."

Before the solitary tribe warrior could finish speaking, Nathias twisted the trident, killing him.

"Uncle Lin!" Tong Ling roared hoarsely, glaring at Nathias with fury. Yet under the suppression, Tong Lin was like any ordinary mortal; even if Blacktooth wasn’t stepping on him, he couldn’t pose the slightest threat.

"Well? Have you made up your mind, king of the solitary tribe?"

Faced with Nathias’s question, Tong Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the solitary tribe perishes, I will not betray my benefactor!"

"Very well, let’s continue," Nathias nodded and walked out of the imperial palace, then brought back another person from Lightfish.

Just the same, thrown down in front of Tong Ling, without much ado, the trident pierced through the person’s chest again.

Watching the light dim in the eyes of the elderly solitary tribesman before him, Tong Ling’s heart twisted painfully. These warriors had been demon beast generals who had followed him from the wildlands, having brought him much assistance in establishing the solitary tribe’s power. Without these elders, there would be no Tong Ling today.

Looking at Tong Ling with tears streaming down his face, Nathias grabbed the next solitary tribe warrior.

One by one, the solitary tribe warriors died in front of Tong Ling, bringing him to the edge of mental collapse.

Words could no longer express the debt Tong Ling felt towards them, and all he could do was incessantly kowtow, head breaking and bleeding, without stopping.

After a series of a hundred solitary tribe elders were killed, Lightfish questioned Nathias, who continued to demand kills, "Haven’t you dealt with it yet?"

"Almost, that kid is still young, he can’t last much longer."

"Then please, Lord, make it quick, suppressing hundreds of thousands is exhausting," Lightfish nodded, then fell silent.

But this time, Nathias brought in a pregnant woman.

When the woman was thrown in front of Tong Ling, he cried out, "Didn’t I tell you to leave?! Why didn’t you go?!"

"Hm?" This sentence piqued Nathias’s interest, the trident that should have fallen was suspended in mid-air.

It appeared that this woman was Tong Ling’s wife.

"Your Majesty!" The woman, tears streaming down her face as she looked at her husband covered in blood: "I won’t leave, I want to be with you, even if it means death, I want to die together!"

Feeling the woman’s unwavering conviction, Tong Ling revealed a trace of a smile, then burst into hearty laughter: "Good, good! Let us, husband and wife, enter the yellow springs together. In the next life, we shall repay our debt to the Dú clan!"

"Hehe." At this moment, Hei Chi spoke: "But you should be clear, it’s not two people, but three."

Hearing Hei Chi’s words, Tong Ling was taken aback: "Rou... Rou’er... you’re... you’re pregnant?!"

"I...," Rou’er was also in a state of confusion.

Meanwhile, Nathias kicked the woman over, the trident drawing a thread of Magic Power and touching her abdomen.

A faint ripple of the soul emerged from it—Rou’er was indeed pregnant. It was just too early, and she hadn’t shown signs of pregnancy.

"What do you say? Have you... made your decision?" Nathias looked at Tong Ling, the trident aimed at the woman’s abdomen, ready to thrust at any moment.

"Let her go, let her go!"

The unborn life in Rou’er’s womb became the last straw for Tong Ling, breaking his spirit: "I’ll tell you, as long as you let her go, I’ll tell you everything...,"

After speaking those words, Tong Ling collapsed to the ground, exhausted, his gaze turned dull and empty.

Nathias nodded in satisfaction, channeling a thread of Magic Power, tossing Rou’er beside Tong Ling, and Hei Chi also lifted his suppression of him.

Embracing his wife, Tong Ling took a long breath.

"Now, can you tell me where the Imperial Baron went?" Nathias asked.

"He went to a Mysterious Dungeon, which connects to another Mysterious Sea Area."

"Did he tell you what he was going to do there?" Nathias was curious as well; why would Lu Hong leave at this time, could it be that he knew of his arrival and fled early?

"He said he was going to hunt Demon Beasts."

"Take me there." Nathias did not continue to question him. If the other party answered half-truths, it would only disturb his own thoughts, unnecessary.

"Okay, but I hope you can keep your promise to spare the Dú clan."

"Of course, as long as you can lead me to the Imperial Baron, I will request the queen’s permission to take your Dú clan under the protection of my sea tribe, henceforth allowing you to live openly and honorably in this sea area, no longer needing to live in fear." Nathias spoke magnanimously, but from Hei Chi’s greedy eyes, things might not be as simple as imagined.

At the same time, on the other side of the dungeon, Lu Hong had already been numb from killing, surrounded by the corpses of Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beasts were like patchwork monsters, odd and misshapen, as if pieced together, but the power they could exert was much higher than their own level.

Lucky for Lu Hong that these Demon Beasts had low intelligence and attacked blindly; otherwise, he would not be confident about surviving in this crowded sea area.

Due to the eerie environment and the bizarre Demon Beasts, Lu Hong did not activate Bloodthirst, nor did he invoke Heavenly God’s descent. He fought on with the sharpness of the Holy Sword and his abundant vigor.

Although he had killed many Demon Beasts, Lu Hong truly had no way to calculate how much experience was still needed to reach the Third Transition.

For him now, it was all a gamble, a bet that there was still a chance for the Dú clan to survive and for him to complete his mission.

In the midst of contemplation, the slaughter did not cease, and at that moment, a black beam of Magic Power sliced through the chaotic battlefield of Demon Beasts.

Shortly after, waves of seven-colored Holy Light spread out, and in an instant, where the eye passed, all the Demon Beasts turned to flying ash, disappearing without a trace.

"Who?!" Lu Hong exclaimed, warily looking towards the powerful being swimming towards him from afar.

"Kid, you don’t recognize me?"

Caesar’s voice rang in Lu Hong’s ears.

"Holy shit? What are you doing here?" Lu Hong was full of surprise.

"Then, what are you doing here?"
