Chapter 113: Asharuiya

……

At nightfall, Lv Cheng walked with the Liu sisters toward the outer city wall, intending to tour this magnificent Ancient Capital.

"Master, someone is following us," Liu Xian transmitted via voice.

"A man or a woman?" Lv Cheng asked.

"A woman."

"Then she must have been stunned by my peerless appearance; let her take a few more looks."

The corner of Liu Xian's eye twitched, "What if she has hostile intentions?"

"Hostile intentions?" Lv Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Could she possibly kill me?"

After Shendu invaded the Dark Plane, he was completely unbothered!

If he encountered an unsolvable problem, he would simply trigger the Descent of Darkness!

Could there possibly be any existence in the Magic Plane more formidable than the Dark King right now?

If so, he would really like to see it.

"She is coming over," Liu Ru said.

No sooner had she spoken than a woman wearing a black silk veil walked toward the three of them.

"Excuse me, is this the way to the outer city wall?" the black-veiled woman asked.

"Yes," Lv Cheng nodded.

"We are also planning to go for a tour; would you like to join us?"

The black-veiled woman was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Lv Cheng to be so proactive, "Alright."

The outer city wall was extremely high, enclosing the city like an iron barrel. With his status as a Councilor, Lv Cheng was naturally waved through all the way to the ramparts.

"Have we met before?" Lv Cheng asked.

Hearing such a cliché and direct pickup line from Lv Cheng, the Liu sisters looked rather strange.

It seemed Lv Cheng really didn't know how to flirt; after all, it was always others who took the initiative with him. At least in their memory, this was the first time Lv Cheng had actively hit on another girl.

"Hmm... I suppose so," the black-veiled woman did not deny it.

"You know Kandi, right?"

"Yes," Lv Cheng nodded.

After clearing the air, Ye Chang had told him about her several main identities, one of which was Kandi of the Ocean Alliance.

Moreover, he had confirmed that Ye Chang and Salang were two separate personalities.

Ye Chang only knew she was a member of the Black Vatican, but she did not know she was Salang. This was the main reason the Judgment Court could never find Salang; after all, most of the time, Salang "did not exist."

And Salang, strictly speaking, was a new personality created after the mental fusion of the Black Vatican's Salang Forget-Worm and Ye Chang. Salang knew of Ye Chang's existence and could even control when she appeared.

This was also the main reason he had occasionally felt that Ye Chang's vibe was off before.

These two personalities did not feel the same way toward him.

"When she introduced me to the Parthenon Temple Academy before, she seemed to have used your photo to entice me," Lv Cheng said.

"Miss Asharuiya."

Kandi and the Asharuiya before him knew each other, and their relationship was quite good.

However, Asharuiya did not currently know that Kandi was Salang. After all, Salang had many identities, and coupled with Ye Chang's powerful disguise and transformation abilities, even Asharuiya's intelligence network could not be entirely certain.

"She also often talks to me about you, Mr. Lv Cheng," Asharuiya did not continue to hide it.

"I just didn't expect you to be able to obtain the status of a Councilor here."

"I didn't expect them to actually give it to me either," Lv Cheng shrugged.

Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, Chief Judge of the Imperial Capital Judgment Court—he had only mentioned these two titles casually at the time and hadn't held any expectations, but he hadn't expected the Magic Palace to actually grant them!

"Regarding that, I do have some information," Asharuiya said.

"About your missing parents..."

"Stop," Lv Cheng raised a hand to interrupt.

"I don't want to talk about this. If they are still alive and remember me, they should come and explain it to me themselves."

Asharuiya opened her mouth as if to speak, but a gruff voice suddenly cut in.

"How did you kid end up here?"

Zhu Meng walked over, accompanied by the Palace Guard that followed him like a shadow.

"You arrive without a word and even run to the Hunter Union hall to make some kind of mandatory requisition. A Councilor's status isn't for you to use like that. You kid, watch yourself; don't ruin the reputation of the Magic Palace."

Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Yo, you recovered from your injuries so quickly?"

Zhu Meng's face darkened, "I'm not dead yet!"

"It's you—don't you know how dangerous it is outside the Ancient Capital right now? Why are you going out at a time like this?"

"I have a friend who had an accident during a previous mission, and his life or death is currently unknown. I'm going to check the situation. If he's still alive, I'll bring him back; if he's dead, I'll bring his body back," Lv Cheng said.

"A friend?" Zhu Meng was stunned.

"A man or a woman?"

The corner of Lv Cheng's eye twitched, "A man!"

"You kid actually has male friends?" Zhu Meng looked suspicious, his gaze flickering toward the Liu sisters and Asharuiya beside him.

He really was surrounded by beauties wherever he went.

"You... these weren't the same ones as last time, were they?" Zhu Meng said.

"You..."

The corner of Lv Cheng's eye twitched violently, the Liu sisters couldn't help but laugh, and Asharuiya also raised a hand to cover her mouth.

Before Lv Cheng could retort to Zhu Meng, a thick aura of death accompanied by a cold wind blew onto the city wall.

The roars of the Undead rose one after another; separated by only a wall, even those living in the city center could hear these peculiar death howls.

Swarms of Undead began to build human ladders, Undead stepping on Undead, desperately trying to climb over the city wall.

The guards on the city wall also launched their attacks in time; flames, frost, Thunderbolt, storms—Magic of various colors began a frenzied bombardment.

"I heard Sha Yuan has appeared?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Yes." Zhu Meng's expression was somewhat heavy.

"You arrived at a coincidental time; next, the Ancient Capital will face a great battle."

"It's not like I can't run." Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

Zhu Meng's face darkened, "You are a Councilor! At a time like this, do you think you can just abandon the danger and leave alone?"

"I am an Honorary Councilor; as the name implies, it's just a title," Lv Cheng corrected.

"Besides, I..."

"ROAR!!!!!!!"

A massive shadow appeared abruptly on the horizon, roaring at the sky; the roar transformed into rolling thunder that pierced through this world, shaking the city wall until it swayed.

Under the command of the massive shadow, billions of Undead surged toward the direction of the Ancient Capital like a rising tide.

"Damn it." Lv Cheng's face darkened.

"You scared me!"

"What, do you dare to fight it?" Zhu Meng goaded him.

Although Lv Cheng was only at the High-level Mage cultivation, his strength, especially his destructive power, was something even some Super Level Mages couldn't match!

If this guy helped, the defense of the Ancient Capital would be a bit easier.

"Old man, do you think this kind of goading works on me?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow and lifted his right hand, a gravity ball wreathed in purple-black lightning quickly condensing into shape.

"I'm telling you! It works!"

As he finished speaking, Lv Cheng flew into the high sky to avoid the gravity ball damaging the city wall.

Seeing Lv Cheng's energy ball containing a terrifying aura of destruction once again, Zhu Meng and the Mages of the Palace Guard all revealed looks of anticipation.

Space Element Mages were already rare, let alone one who had mastered Divine Power; they were like rare animals.

"What... is this move?" Asharuiya's expression was somewhat shocked.

Was this the kind of commotion a High-level Mage could create?

"This move, Master gave it a resounding name," Liu Ru said.

"Dragon Emperor Heterodimensional!"

As she finished speaking, Lv Cheng threw the massive purple-black energy ball in his hand toward the massive shadow on the horizon.

"From such a distance, can it hit?" Asharuiya asked doubtfully.

She was also a Space Element Mage and could naturally sense how terrifying the power contained within that energy ball was, but from such a distance, could it be useful?

"Of course." Lv Cheng, having drained his Space Element Star River in one go, fell from the sky.

"My Dragon Emperor Heterodimensional can exist indefinitely as long as it doesn't suffer external interference."

"But once it suffers external interference, it will explode at any time," Zhu Meng said with lingering fear.

Last time, they were almost accidentally killed by this move of Lv Cheng's!

The power was indeed terrifying, but once this thing was activated, both the enemy and their own side would panic!

"There's no helping that." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"There are gains and losses; such terrifying destructive power naturally has its drawbacks."

Although the power of this move was exaggeratedly large, its drawbacks were also quite obvious.

First, the wind-up was long and the charging time was long; in a normal battle, the opponent wouldn't just wait for him to charge.

Second, it was very unstable; once the charging process was interrupted, this thing would explode instantly, making it very easy to accidentally kill friendly troops.

It was accidental killing!

There was no such thing as accidental injury with this move!

Monarch-level demons might be able to rely on their own powerful physical bodies to withstand it, but human Mages, once hit head-on, wouldn't even have ashes left.

He was only at the Sixth Realm of Spiritual Power now, and his Space Element was only at the High-level; once his Spiritual Power increased and his Space Element cultivation reached the Super Level...

This move of his could kill a Monarch in seconds!

No matter how many came, he would kill them all in seconds!
