“We did encounter some problems in between, but it was resolved by Lord Xu Dafu.” North City Lord said, slightly embarrassed.
At that time, the large scale recruitment led to a big problem that nearly cost the destruction of the entire North City,
The North City Lord only knew mostly matters regarding North City, but the other seven cities were more or less the same, only the Central City was the most different. The Southwest City Lord had become a Poison Man while the Insect Wave happened when Yang Tian was not in Sky Halber City, Yang Tian was truly worried that something might have happened in his absence.
“City Lord, the Main City…”
A metahuman anxiously ran into the palace hall.
“People from the Main City came, it looks like all the Lords have arrived.”
When the Summoned Beasts started running towards Yang Tian when he arrived in Sky Halberd Domain, Wang Yu and the rest had suspected something and naturally came to North City as well.
“Quickly invite them inside.”
“Yes.”
Shortly after the metahuman left, several figures entered the palace hall.
Lei Xing, Wang Yu, Xu Dafu, Dragonite, and Charizard. The rest of the Summoned Beasts remained in Sky Halberd Manor to avoid unnecessary troubles.
“You…”
The three were shocked when they saw Yang Tian! However, Dragonite and Charizard would not fail to recognize their master and immediately cried out to greet Yang Tian.
Char Char
Dra Dra
Hearing the cries of Dragonite and Charizard, the three of them recovered from their shock and looked at Yang Tian seriously. Although there was a great change, they were still able to see a shadow of Yang Tian’s past appearance.
“Boss… no, Domain Lord, is that really you?”
Xu Dafu could not help but feel excited after confirming the person in front was Yang Tian, Lei Xing, and Wang Yu were the same as well. The three of them have been under huge stress to complete the task Yang Tian gave them and also take care of the domain when Yang Tian was not around.
“Of course, it is me, you guys have suffered during this period.”
For them to manage things this well when he was not around has exceeded Yang Tian’s expectations, just from this incident, he was able to witness their loyalty.
In his previous life, he was surrounded by fence-sitters and lacked trusted aides. When he really required support, he was not able to rely upon anyone.
Despite being excited, Yang Tian also noticed that Wang Yu and the rest were showing signs of anxiety and urgency.
“North City Lord, we will be leaving now.”
“… okay.”
The North City Lord was startled for a moment but managed to reply immediately.
Lina followed Yang Tian closely, Wang Yu, and the rest had noticed how Yang Tian treats Lina and knew that the two did not have a simple relationship.
This time, all of them stood on T-Rex’s head, Yang Tian looked at them and said:
“Something happened?”
“It’s regarding Southwest City Lord, the Poison Man.”
Wang Yu started telling everything that happened.
After the Southwest City Lord became a Poison Man, he has been under Professor Ouyang’s management in Central City. However, as Sky Halberd Domain’s fighting power was not enough to handle the Insect Wave when it descended upon them, Professor Ouyang had no choice but to let Southwest City Lord assist them. It was proven the right choice as the fighting power of the Southwest City Lord was astonishing, he was able to nearly wipe out an entire Insect Wave by himself.
However, after using the poison at full capacity, the poison within Southwest City Lord got even harder to control. The Southwest City Lord was still within Central City, but Professor Ouyang was on the verge of losing control over the poison. If Yang Tian had not returned, their only solution was to send the Southwest City Lord to the mountain behind Sky Halberd Domain, to the Zombie King located there.
“Did the Zombie King tell you that?”
“He did not tell us, but to Professor Ouyang. This was what Professor Ouyang told me.”
After altering their path slightly, they headed straight for Central City. Due to the Poison Man being located at Central City, its construction progress was slower than the other eight cities.
When Yang Tian’s group arrived, Central City Lord immediately came out to receive them; this was also his first time see Yang Tian’s new appearance, but Wang Yu and the rest explained the situation and avoided unnecessary misunderstandings.
“Domain Lord, Professor Ouyang is in the west part of the city.”
“Okay.”
This time, Yang Tian only brought Lina and Xu Dafu with him; the rest remained behind. Yang Tian has a solution now, the reason he brought Xu Dafu and Lina along was that they each have their use.
The laboratory has become a sealed lab after a series of special modification, the main reason was to prevent the poisonous gas from leaking.
Xu Dafu knocked on the door, and it soon opened. Professor Ouyang came out to receive them, the professor knew that no one will knock on his door unless it was for something serious.
Professor Ouyang first looked at Xu Dafu before looking at the two unfamiliar faces. This required proper explanation; that was why Yang Tian brought along Xu Dafu.
“So it is the Domain Lord, your change is truly great!” Professor Ouyang replied embarrassingly.
“No matter. What is the current situation of Southwest City Lord?”
“If Domain Lord did not return, I would have delivered Southwest City Lord to the Zombie King.”
“Bring in me.”
Ouyang Ge brought Yang Tian into the lab while Lina and Xu Dafu followed behind.
The Southwest City Lord was placed below the lab.
Within the sealed container was the Southwest City Lord who was barely breathing, his body was constantly emitting greenish liquid, any person who looks at the liquid would instinctively feel that it was toxic.
“Southwest City Lord might have pushed back the Insect Wave, but he was also injured in the process.”
Southwest City Lord has five large injuries on his chest, all of them were lethal and only getting worse as we could not heal them.
“Lina, use Sacred Light to heal him.”
“Okay.”
Lina released a glowing light that made everyone nearby felt warmth, even the barely breathing Southwest City Lord was suddenly feeling better.
Southwest City Lord was on the verge of being unable to tolerate the pain anymore when he felt the gentle Light Energy eased his pain; his injuries stopped bleeding, but the toxins in his body were still preventing the wounds from closing.
Lina kept using Sacred Light, but the Southwest City Lord’s injuries were still not closing; in the end, Lina had to stop casting Sacred Light as she was unable to keep up with the energy consumption.
Yang Tian supported Lina and transferred some of his Light Energy to her, causing Lina’s expression to improve.
