From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Luoyu was weighing his options.

The array couldn’t be broken, which meant they could only stare at the opportunity before them, unable to claim it.

At this point, their only choice was to spread the word and ally with other powerful experts.

After the news got out, they would be owed favors... They could still gain a lot from it.

Of course, the most important reason was that they couldn’t just stay garrisoned here forever. If they didn’t leak the news, someone else might do it after enough time had passed.

That was something Luoyu absolutely could not accept!

They were the ones who had discovered this opportunity; he would never allow that to happen.

As he was thinking, Divine Split Flame flew over and said directly, ”Luoyu, that Li Yang is back.”

”Oh? He’s back again?”

Hearing this, Luoyu’s expression was indifferent. ”It seems Li Yang has found his backer.”

Li Yang hadn’t been here for over twenty days, but Luoyu didn’t believe for a second that he had given up. So, Li Yang must have spent that time looking for someone to help him investigate the sun’s secret.

However, Luoyu wasn’t worried that Li Yang could have found an Emperor in such a short time.

There were two Emperors who could help Li Yang: Yangyuan Emperor and Emperor Sword Mark. He knew what had happened before—Yangyuan Emperor had announced he was entering seclusion and wouldn’t help Li Yang at all.

As for Emperor Sword Mark, who had helped Li Yang previously, he was currently training outside the Human Race’s territory. It was impossible for him to reach the Solar System in such a short time.

Therefore, Emperor Sword Mark would definitely arrive later than Fire Cloud Emperor.

’If an Emperor isn’t coming, and it’s just some Deity, then we have nothing to worry about.’

”Let’s go. We’ll take a look and see what kind of backer Li Yang has found.”

With an indifferent expression, Luoyu flew out directly.

Meanwhile, Li Yang was also flying over, wondering about the identity of the person who had come.

SWISH!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the void. It was a burly man with black mystic patterns on his face. He wasn’t particularly tall, but the Evil Qi emanating from him was incredibly intense, seeming to envelop the very space around him.

But upon seeing this man, Li Yang was stunned.

”Master?”

On the other side, Luoyu and the other Deities also flew over. When they saw the middle-aged man standing in the void, their calm expressions changed dramatically.

”Blade Slaughter Sect Master?”

”How is that possible? Why is the Blade Slaughter Sect Master here in the Solar System?”

The faces of the Deities all fell. They stared at the figure with unconcealed dread in their eyes. They knew exactly how terrifying the Blade Slaughter Sect Master’s power was!

Luoyu, who was at the lead, was no different. He watched Blade Slaughter with extreme caution.

His expression shifted constantly, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

’What’s with this Blade Slaughter Sect Master? How did he get to the Solar System so quickly?’

The territory of the Human Race was immense. Even a top-tier expert would need at least a month to travel from the Eternal Saint Hall to the Solar System.

Li Yang had asked for help just over twenty days ago. Even if the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had set out immediately, it was impossible that he could have arrived here so fast, right?

He knew that the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had been at the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall for the past few decades and hadn’t left.

Figures like the Blade Slaughter Sect Master, who lectured at the Saint Hall, almost never left unless they were going out on an expedition.

Therefore, he had considered that the Blade Slaughter Sect Master might help Li Yang, but within a month, his own ancestor, Fire Cloud Emperor, would have already arrived.

”Master, why are you here?”

As Luoyu and the others’ expressions soured, Li Yang grew very excited and hurried to the Blade Slaughter Sect Master’s side.

He was both excited and moved. He had been wondering who would come to help him, and he never expected it would be the Blade Slaughter Sect Master himself.

”Haha, Li Yang. Your master happened to be out visiting a friend recently. As soon as I heard your news, I rushed over,” the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said with a smile.

He had been out on a trip during this period, which was why he was able to arrive in just over twenty days.

The master and disciple exchanged a few words, and then the Blade Slaughter Sect Master turned his gaze to Luoyu.

Luoyu’s expression changed, but he quickly forced a smile. ”I never expected the Blade Slaughter Sect Master to grace us with his presence. We are truly honored.”

Looking at Luoyu’s smile, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master asked calmly, ”Luoyu, my disciple is the master of Earth, and the Solar System is Earth’s territory. Why are you blocking him from entering this area?”

Hearing Blade Slaughter’s question, Luoyu explained, ”It’s like this, Blade Slaughter Sect Master. Traces of the Alien Race have been discovered in the Solar System. We came here to investigate the matter.”

”The Alien Race?”

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master sneered. ”My disciple is the only peerless genius in the entire Solar System. The target of these members of the Alien Race must be my disciple. If you’re here to investigate the Alien Race, shouldn’t the best course of action be to protect my disciple? Why are you now blocking him from entering the area you’ve occupied?”

”Blade Slaughter Sect Master, we have assigned people to protect Li Yang. You don’t need to worry about his safety,” Luoyu explained, his face still calm.

”Oh?”

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master glanced at Luoyu. He didn’t waste any more words. ”Take down the defensive barrier around your encampment. I’m taking my disciple inside to have a good look around.”

Hearing this, Luoyu’s expression clearly changed. How could he possibly let the Blade Slaughter Sect Master in?

’If he goes in and gets close to the sun, won’t its secret be exposed?’

He definitely wouldn’t allow that to happen.

”Blade Slaughter Sect Master, this is a restricted garrison. No outsiders are allowed in for the time being,” Luoyu said.

”Not allowed in?”

Hearing this, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master burst out laughing. ”How ridiculous. I’ve never heard of one of our Human Race’s restricted garrisons having such a rule. Open it. Don’t make me do it myself.”

In response, Luoyu said grimly, ”Blade Slaughter Sect Master, please respect our rules.”

”So it seems you’re determined not to open it?”

Seeing Luoyu’s persistence, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master clenched his right fist, and a black battle blade appeared in his hand.

”Occupying my disciple’s territory, bullying my disciple... Do you really think I, Blade Slaughter, am a nobody?”

BOOM!

A wave of Evil Qi burst forth from Blade Slaughter. He stared coldly at the crowd of Deities before him.

Clearly, he was preparing to make a move.

”Blade Slaughter, there are so many of us! Do you really think you can shatter our joint defense?”

A Four-Element Deity, seeing that the Blade Slaughter Sect Master was actually preparing to attack, roared in anger.

”Oh? You can try,” the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said coldly, glancing at that Deity.

He gripped his battle blade, and a blade aura quickly began to coalesce upon it.

Seeing this change, the many Deities all looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

”Combine our power!”

”Hmph, even if Blade Slaughter is powerful, we have nearly a hundred Deities on our side, including more than a dozen Four-Element Deities! He’s just one person; he can’t necessarily defeat us!”

”That’s right! Our combined attack is definitely stronger than even a Five Elemental Deity!”
