Chapter 412: Divine Power Cage

Pingkang City is only a little over six hundred li away from Iron Stone City.

This city is also a city of the Shaya Kingdom, and it can be considered the fief of the Nikang Family.

Pingkang City is not far from Iron Stone City, and this city is much more prosperous than Koya City.

At this moment, in Pingkang City, people are coming and going, just as it has always been in the past.

Of course, the nobles and some upper-class individuals in Pingkang City have caught a different scent.

At this time, in a tavern, Lin Chao and Yuwen Zhanye are sitting in a private room, the two of them drinking plum wine.

Inside the tavern, it is bustling with activity; although the weather has turned cold, many adventurers are wearing thin clothes, drinking strong liquor, and speaking arrogant words.

Some useful news also falls into the ears of Lin Chao and Yuwen Zhanye.

"Have you heard? The allied forces of the Four Great Temples and the allied forces of the Six Great Kingdoms have completely annihilated the Arcane Empire!"

"Sigh, the Arcane Empire did not believe in gods; being annihilated was only a matter of time."

"It's a pity. In the past, one could still go to the Arcane Empire to adventure and take on missions; the treatment there was quite good."

"Right, the Arcanists there were much better than the priests of the Temples."

"Those Arcanists charged very low fees for healing us adventurers."

"I have a brother named Bain who once had his hand chopped off while in the Arcane Empire."

"He found an Arcanist, and it only cost ten Gold coins to have his hand reattached."

"If this were in a Temple, wouldn't it require a donation of ten thousand Gold coins?"

"True, the healing from Temple priests is too expensive."

"Ma Gui, I don't remember your brother Bain joining the allied forces of the Four Great Temples?"

"How come he was saved by the Arcane Empire, and now he's gone to attack the Arcane Empire again?"

"Tifeng, the Arcane Empire is beyond saving; who wouldn't go to scrape up some money where they can?"

"Let me tell you, my brother is doing quite well for himself now; he is a captain in the allied forces, in charge of a thousand-man unit."

"The Light Temple has promised that if he performs more meritorious deeds, he will be qualified to enter the Light Temple and become a Priest."

The main force of the Four Great Temples' allied forces is the armies of the Four Great Temples.

Among them, there are also mercenaries recruited from all over.

"Hasn't the Arcane Empire already been annihilated? What meritorious deeds are there left to perform?"

"I'm telling you all, don't let this leak out: my brother told me that the allied forces of the Four Great Temples are preparing to launch an expedition against the Ancient Tang Empire!"

"He wrote to me a while ago just to ask me to help him look after his wife and son."

"Is his wife pretty?"

"The Ancient Tang Empire, what is that?"

"You are too ignorant; that is one of the three great empires!"

In the private room, Yuwen Zhanye's eyes shift slightly upon hearing this: "The Four Great Temples actually want to move against the Ancient Tang Empire. I wonder... if this news is true or false."

This piece of news only causes a ripple in Yuwen Zhanye's heart.

After all, he is no longer a person of the Ancient Tang Empire.

Furthermore, he has already become a god.

He also understands that when the four Masters of the Four Great Temples join forces, no one can stop what they want to do.

The Arcane Empire, known as the number one powerful nation in the world, was also reduced to ashes under the combined efforts of the Four Great Temples.

"When there is time, it might be worth going to the Ancient Tang Empire to take a look," Lin Chao says.

He knows the past of the Ancient Tang Empire; it was once the base camp of the Spirit Gods.

Those Spirit Gods, like the gods, are all highly desirable targets for Lin Chao.

Lin Chao's main goal now is still to become stronger and then leave this world.

Of course, there are other things mixed into this.

For example... An Qian.

He wants to see An Qian again.

He wonders, if he helps An Qian recover her Divine Power, can An Qian really help him prophesy the whereabouts of... the Butterfly Bird?

In the following days, Lin Chao and Yuwen Zhanye come to the tavern to drink every day.

One reason is to kill time and listen to some interesting news; the second is to wait for the meeting between the God of Fire and the God of White Wolf.

On the fourth day, Lin Chao and Yuwen Zhanye are still drinking.

Suddenly, Lin Chao puts down the wine cup in his hand, a trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Did you feel it?"

"Hmm?" Yuwen Zhanye senses carefully but feels nothing.

"The aura of fire." Lin Chao perceives subtly that the fire in the surrounding area is leaping more vigorously.

He places his hand over the flame and can feel the temperature has risen slightly.

"The God of Fire?" Yuwen Zhanye's spirit jolts.

"Yes," Lin Chao nods, "His strength... seems to be much stronger than expected."

"The God of Theft and Wind is no match for him."

"That shouldn't be; logically, shouldn't the God of Theft and Wind be on par with the God of Fire?" Yuwen Zhanye's eyes carry a look of worry, "Master, do you want me to go and probe their true strength first?"

"No need," Lin Chao refuses.

For this kind of thing, it is of course better to go straight in; probing their strength makes it easy for the other party to get away.

A fighting spirit surges in Lin Chao's eyes.

After all, he has now ascended to the God Realm.

Although those players are still hunting Divine Creatures to increase his Divine Power and divine rank.

But those are merely Divine Creatures after all; how could they compare to the God of Fire and the God of White Wolf?

These two provide Lin Chao with much greater gains.

……

Nikang Family, in the backyard.

The Second Mistress's eyes were filled with fury as she looked at the human kneeling before her, her eyes brimming with killing intent: "Hanshe has not returned yet? And there is no news of Xiangfu?"

"Mistress... perhaps they were delayed by something." The servant trembled, clearly terrified of the Second Mistress before him.

He certainly had reason to be afraid.

This Second Mistress is, after all, of the White Wolf Clan.

This race has the habit of eating humans.

"Useless." The Second Mistress's face was filled with rage, "When Hanshe returns, lock him and his father in the Wolf Cage!"

The Wolf Cage is where the White Wolf Clan keeps their food.

The servant trembled, his voice quivering: "As you command."

The Second Mistress snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Just then, however, she sensed something, and a look of reverence appeared on her face.

"Go to the Wolf Cage quickly, prepare a few desserts, and send them to the backyard."

"Yes." The servant replied in agony.

He naturally knew what the desserts were.

……

At this moment, in the backyard.

A tall, upright figure appeared, and the surrounding temperature rose significantly.

The figure of the God of White Wolf also appeared here.

"God of Fire, long time no see.

I didn't expect you to take this matter so seriously that you would come in your true form." The God of White Wolf spoke, his voice aged, like a dying old man.

Since the God of Fire came in his true form, out of respect, he naturally could only appear in his true form as well.

After all, he intends to betray the Lady of Night and join the camp of the Master of Light, so he naturally cannot afford to offend the God of Fire.

"Now, the gods have descended, and a God War is on the verge of breaking out.

As a god in the camp of the Master of Light, I wish to become a god of Strong Divine Power, which requires me to do some things.

The God War shall begin with me!"

The God of Fire's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

This move can be said to be extremely dangerous.

But if successful, there are definitely many benefits.

When the Master of Light becomes the supreme god of the Pantheon, he, the God of Fire, will be a banner of the Master of Light's camp and will certainly have the opportunity to step into Strong Divine Power.

Therefore, the God of Fire is gambling.

After all, with his talent, it is almost impossible for him to become a god of Strong Divine Power.

"The God of Fire has great spirit. Although I am old and frail, I am willing to lend you a hand." The God of White Wolf is no fool; with the God of Fire here, this trip is almost devoid of danger, and the two of them joining forces to deal with that Yuwen Zhanye is nothing.

"Is Yuwen Zhanye in Iron Stone City?" the God of Fire asked, "What is his relationship with Iron Stone City?"

The God of Fire already knew that Yuwen Zhanye came from Rakshasa City in the Abyss.

This time, he suddenly appeared in Iron Stone City.

He guessed that Yuwen Zhanye had contacted Eyun Xiaojie through the God of Song and joined the Ice Queen's camp.

The gods of the Ice Queen's camp are waiting for him in Iron Stone City.

The God of Fire is currently a god of Medium Divine Power, while the gods who have descended now are all of Weak Divine Power, so the God of Fire has confidence.

"Yuwen Zhanye is the actual power-holder of Iron Stone City.

The construction of this city seems to have been successfully established with the support of Yuwen Zhanye.

As for that descendant of the God of Song, they are nothing more than a puppet."

Hearing this, the God of Fire confirmed his guess.

"It seems that Yuwen Zhanye had already made contact with the Ice Queen long ago.

No wonder, in the current environment, someone is still able to ascend to godhood." The God of Fire sighed.

"When shall we go to Iron Stone City?"

"The sooner the better, of course, to catch them off guard!" The God of Fire surged with intense flames.

Just then, a voice came from outside.

"Leader, the desserts are ready." The one speaking was a White Wolf servant.

The God of White Wolf did not reveal his identity when he came to Pingkang City.

In the eyes of these White Wolves in Pingkang City, he is just a White Wolf noble.

After all, although gods are powerful, there are still many secret organizations and Ancient Ones on the Continent.

Having lost the reliance of his God Kingdom, the God of White Wolf is also more easily Slayed.

The God of White Wolf then smiled: "God of Fire, how about we eat the desserts before leaving?"

"Very well." The God of Fire did not refuse.

At this moment, two attendants pushed open the Gate of the great hall and entered slowly.

In their hands, they held two large platters.

On the plate, some fluffy white silk threads were covered.

"This kind of dessert is the delicacy I loved eating most when I was on the Continent, before I was canonized as a god.

For the raw materials used in making it, Legendary is the best.

It is a pity that there are no Legendaries now, so I can only use High-level Professionals as the raw material; I hope the God of Fire will not mind."

The God of White Wolf said this, clearly very proud of the upcoming dessert.

The God of Fire looked at the dessert with a face full of smiles: "I..."

However, his voice paused at this moment.

His gaze turned toward the attendant holding the plate.

His heartbeat skipped a beat, inexplicably.

And at this moment, the attendant holding the plate suddenly raised his head, a smile appearing in his eyes.

The God of Fire was terrified and suddenly shouted: "Not good."

Countless Divine Power surged at this moment.

The God of White Wolf did not know what had happened, but seeing the God of Fire suddenly defend, he also quickly followed suit.

Unfortunately, the God of White Wolf's imitation was too late.

It was seen that those two attendants suddenly attacked the two gods.

These two attendants were precisely Lin Chao and Yuwen Zhanye in disguise; the two entered the Temple and quickly launched a sneak attack on the two gods.

Prison Cage!

Lin Chao unleashed his Divine Power, pulling the two gods into the Prison Cage.

Boom!

In an instant, countless Divine Power surged and collided.

The God of Fire's eyes turned blood-red, and he took a palm strike from Lin Chao head-on.

"Who are you?"

His Qi and blood churned, and looking at Lin Chao, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

He did not recognize Lin Chao.

Beside him, the appearance of the God of White Wolf was even more miserable.

For one, he was slow to defend.

For two, he was suffering a joint attack from Yuwen Zhanye and Lin Chao.

When Lin Chao sneak-attacked the God of Fire, he also sneak-attacked the God of White Wolf, all to severely injure the weaker one first, making it easier for Yuwen Zhanye to deal with him.

Lin Chao did not speak and continued to attack the God of Fire.

An endless sea of Fire instantly filled Lin Chao's Divine Power Cage.

The God of Fire dodged continuously, a look of shock appearing on his face.

He was a god with Medium Divine Power.

As a result, under the opponent's attack, he had been occupying the disadvantage.

The opponent was definitely not a god of the Pantheon.

If not a god of the Pantheon, how could they have such strength?

This made the God of Fire terrified.

He felt that he had made a wrong bet.

"Is it you who killed the God of Theft and Wind?" the God of Fire fought while trying to break through the Divine Power Cage.

Unfortunately, he could not break through the Divine Power Cage built by Lin Chao at all.

This Divine Power Cage was the first Divine Art Lin Chao created after ascending to godhood.

This Divine Art did not have powerful destructive force; it could simply trap a god.

This was a Divine Art he had planned for a long time.

After all, if he wanted to hunt gods, the most secretive method was to pull the god into a Divine Power Cage.

That way, the opponent would fight him within the Divine Power Cage.

For one, it would not quickly attract the attention of other gods.

For two, it also avoided the opponent running away.

Of course, it also had one function: it could avoid harming the innocent.

Lin Chao still did not answer.

The Divine Art of Divine Power Cage consumed quite a lot, causing his strength to drop slightly.

However, Lin Chao felt that it was worth it.

After all, if there were no Divine Power Cage, his battle with the God of Fire would certainly attract many eyes.

With his current strength, it was impossible to deal with the gods of the Pantheon.

He looked at the God of Fire, casting Divine Arts one after another.

On the body of the God of Fire, countless flames burned.

In an instant, in order to resist Lin Chao, he cast hundreds of Divine Arts to defend.

However, Lin Chao's attacks still fell upon his body like the sea.

In his eyes, a look of terror was revealed.

The opponent did not look like a god with Medium Divine Power at all, but more like a god with Strong Divine Power, with an endless supply of Divine Power.

But the power was not too terrifying.

The God of Fire was full of rage and wanted to leave, but he could not leave at all.

He was filled with immense terror; if things continued like this, he would surely die without a doubt.

……

Half an hour later, a caravan slowly entered Pingkang City.

This caravan was no different from the usual caravans.

However, sitting on the carriages of the caravan were two Legendary figures.

This was extremely terrifying.

After all, a small city like Pingkang City would never attract Legendary figures to come here.

Yet now, two had arrived.

At this moment, both Legendary figures were sitting on the carriage, their eyes filled with a look of vigilance.

"Taohua, how is it?" the thin-bodied man asked the female Legendary figure, a broad, thick sword that did not match his physique strapped to his back.

The woman named Taohua held a Compass in her hand, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.

"Could it be... that our information was wrong?

I have not discovered the existence of any deity here."
