Chapter 572: Chapter 60: Meeting Di Ti

Lu Hong had returned to Inner River City before nightfall.

It was the same squad leader who smiled and asked upon seeing Lu Hong, "So, have you finished paying your respects?"

"Yes, now I want to go somewhere else and I hope you can help me out."

"I’m afraid I can’t help with that. All planar transports in the Star Sea are currently under wartime control; without authorization from the higher-ups, no one is allowed to activate the transport gates on their own."

"Do you know where General Xie’an is right now, or do you know Silver Wind?"

"I know Silver Wind, he’s the commander of the garrison of Inner River City. You know him?"

"That’s great. Please take me to him." Since the squad leader didn’t have the authority to open transport gates, Lu Hong had to seek help from someone higher up.

"Certainly, please follow me."

At that moment, Silver Wind was enjoying drinks and meat with Doggie, which was incredibly delicious.

After many years, Doggie had become quite articulate and no longer barked, "Wind bro, I told you this dog meat was good, but you didn’t believe me. Now you must trust my nose, right?"

"Yes, yes, good buddy, let’s drink to this!" Silver Wind poured a full cup of fine wine and handed it to Doggie, "No more talking, let’s drink!"

"Drink!" Doggie, ever so delighted, used his magic power to control the cup and poured the wine down his throat in one go.

Feeling the wine hit, Doggie was ecstatic, "That’s the spirit!"

"Ha ha ha, dog meat with alcohol, forever and ever!" Doggie shouted in excitement, but in the next second, he froze.

Noticing Doggie’s unusual behavior, Silver Wind sobered up a bit and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Are the beastmen coming to ambush us?!"

"No," Doggie shook his head.

"Then what’s with that looks-like-you’ve-eaten-shit expression?" Silver Wind relaxed, picking up a piece of dog meat and offering it to Doggie "Here, eat up. I’m the highest commander here. Unless it’s a beastmen attack, you don’t have to worry about a thing. I’ve got your back even if the sky falls down."

"Get that dog meat away from me!" Doggie swatted Silver Wind’s hand, "I think I smell something familiar."

Silver Wind chuckled, teasing, "Is it some bitch from Dog Head Mountain that you used to know?"

Doggie rolled his eyes, "No, it’s more like... how should I put it? Like it’s the boss’s scent, but it also feels a bit different?"

"You must be drunk. The boss has been long dead. Damn it, the contract on you has expired, and it nearly cost you your life. Have you forgotten?" Mentioning Lu Hong, Silver Wind also became visibly annoyed.

"Really, this scent... it’s getting closer to us, and it’s becoming more and more like..."

"Like what?" At that moment, Lu Hong pushed open the door, "It’s me!"

"Holy shit?!" Silver Wind and Doggie’s eyes both widened at once. Meanwhile, the guards, annoyed, pointed their swords at Lu Hong, "I told you General Silver Wind is resting inside and no one is allowed to disturb him, how can you..."

"Everyone get the fuck out!" Silver Wind shouted, dismissing the guards, and then hurried to Lu Hong, embracing him, "Ha ha, boss, it’s really you, it is!"

"We can catch up later, but I have urgent matters and need your help now."

"Boss, you just say the word, I’ve got you covered!" Silver Wind assured, thumping his chest.

"Open the transport gate to the Endless Forest for me; I need to make a trip there."

"That..." Silver Wind frowned, deliberated for a long while, then finally agreed, "Alright! But you’ll have to wait a bit. I don’t currently have the coordinates to the Endless Forest. I’ll need to find someone to get them."

"How long will it take? The sooner, the better."

"Give me an hour; one hour should be enough!" After speaking, Silver Wind rushed off to retrieve the planar coordinates.

Lu Hong took Silver Wind’s previous seat and looked across at Doggie with a smile, "What’s wrong? Don’t recognize your master?"

"Of course, I do. It’s just that... I can scarcely believe it; after all, you were clearly..."

Lu Hong poured a cup of wine for Doggie and shared his experiences along the way.

After understanding everything, Doggie asked, "So, what do you plan to do next? Will you stay with us?"

"I don’t know. The Star Sea is suffering too much, I can’t just watch and do nothing. Oh right, there’s something I need to ask you for help with."

"Boss, go ahead and ask!"

"When I return from the Endless Forest this time, I want to marry Anna. Can you help me arrange it? The location will be here in Inner River City. Let’s consider Diotou Fortress as Anna’s family home and bring her here."

"Boss is getting married? Awesome! I’m definitely up for helping with that." Gouzi said with wagging ears, grinning: "You chose the right dog to help. Silver Wind, that old bachelor, doesn’t understand these things at all. Only a dog who’s been married a hundred and eighty times like me would have this kind of experience."

"Right." Lu Hong nodded, patting Gouzi on the head: "I trust you."

Curious, Lu Hong suddenly asked, "By the way, what kind of power did the aura from the Abyss of Extreme Demons add to you? Tell me about it?"

"None." Gouzi said helplessly: "I didn’t feel the aura from the Abyss of Extreme Demons at all. Boss, do you think I might not be a Demon Beast?"

"No way." Lu Hong comforted: "You’re already a dog, how could you not be a Demon Beast?"

Gouzi: ........

In less than an hour, Silver Wind returned with an old mage who made it possible for Lu Hong to open a portal to the Endless Forest.

Originally, the transport coordinates were controlled by the Empire, but due to the hasty retreat, many portals were needed to move troops, leading to the coordinates being exposed. What Silver Wind was holding was one from a mage who had previously helped the Empire open portals for evacuation.

Refusing the company of Silver Wind and Gouzi, Lu Hong entered the Endless Forest alone.

He arrived exactly where the Empire’s headquarters had been during the retreat: Wind Valley.

A vast garrison camp still had many resources that hadn’t been moved in time, and this place had been occupied by a wolf pack, turning it into their playground.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Lu Hong, the wolf pack didn’t waste words and pounced fiercely toward him.

Lacking the strength to face them head-on, Lu Hong chose not to spare any chance for probing. He immediately activated the War Fortress to protect himself within its bounds.

The wolf pack was savage and brutal, and their numbers were impressive as well. The impact against the steel fortress created a tremendous noise.

Fortunately, these magic wolves weren’t extremely powerful and didn’t have strength beyond the Third Transition’s later stages, so Lu Hong was safe for the moment.

Seeing how fierce the wolf pack was, Lu Hong didn’t dare to delay. He took out the golden feather and began pouring his Fighting Spirit into it.

Under the external stimulus, the feather started to gradually dissipate.

At that moment, a ferocious claw struck the fortress with force.

A powerful rebound shook the fortress, causing Lu Hong, who was hiding inside, to bleed from his seven orifices and take a heavy blow.

A Demigod rank wolf leader looked at the iron fortress before it and swung its claw again.

With a loud bang, a huge wave of air rolled through the valley, pushing back the surrounding wolves.

And Lu Hong inside the fortress felt a wave of faintness as Absolute Defense began to show cracks from the Demigod wolf leader’s two consecutive attacks.

He firmly watched the feather which was about to completely dissipate. The fortress wouldn’t survive four hits; now he could only hope that Di Ti would arrive soon.

The third claw strike came swiftly. Cracks on the fortress rapidly spread, and with one more hit, Lu Hong would die beneath the Demigod wolf leader’s claw.

But just as the wolf leader raised its claw, preparing to deliver the final blow,

The feather vanished completely, and what followed was an enormous golden light that covered the sky.

A clear and piercing cry echoed between heaven and earth.

Sensing Di Ti’s terrifying oppression, the wolf leader let out a mournful howl, quickly retreating with its tail between its legs, and then lay prostrate and trembling, daring no further movement.

Di Ti, overlooking Wind Valley, locked onto the steel fortress on the verge of shattering and spoke, "Is it you, my lord? You are now safe; please show yourself."

Hearing Di Ti’s voice, Lu Hong finally let out a sigh of relief, dismantled the fortress, and appeared before Di Ti.

Looking back, the wolf leader was immensely large, like a vast mountain range. No wonder it had the power to tear through the steel fortress’s Absolute Defense.

Di Ti eyed Lu Hong and asked, "May I enquire why my lord has come?"

"Greetings, Mystic Beast Di Ti. I’ve ventured into the Endless Forest this time to ask a favor of you."

"What favor, please speak."

"Help me resolve the Beast Tide wreaking havoc in Star Sea."

"How do you wish to resolve it?"

"Move all the Demon Beasts from every dimension into the Endless Forest."
