In the midst of the duo's thoughts, Zhou Ping suddenly spoke up. "Sky Bless City truly is sight, eh? It does make me proud to be born here compared to other places."
Zhou Ping smiled with great pride. A moment later, his expression turned a bit more serious as he said, "I should also mention that people here are also more prideful because of it. Unless your fist can talk louder than your foes, problems will keep coming your way. Even in my Zhou family, you will need to clear away annoyances for people to understand. Although, for Sir Lee and Miss Xun, I'm sure this won't be a problem at all."
Strength is respected anywhere in the God Galaxy. So neither Cain nor Amber was put off by it.
It wasn't as if higher God Galaxies people were narrow-minded. Rather, the power gap between realms is far too wide, which only leads to one inevitable conclusion.
Even in Lower Realms, the power gap between Mortal realms becomes increasingly wider.
As the saying goes, strength is the only thing in the God Galaxy. Those with strength are the leaders, the path creators, the law of everything.
And neither Cain nor Amber was willing to submit to anyone just because their strength was lower.
Cain decided to ask, "Just what is the level of strength within your faction?"
"Ah, compared to my other siblings, it's not too terribly high. Nearly all of them are in the Great Divine Sea realm. And my strongest are Extreme Stages and half-step Divine Star warriors. Though, my half-steps are currently out on missions. Still, my Extreme Stages all have calm personalities. They are not the ones to go looking for trouble. As for the others, they have more lofty pride than others. I won't be surprised if they try to immediately test you two upon entering."
"That's it, huh? Then it is no problem." Cain confidently smiled, and Amber nodded with complete assurance.
After several minutes of walking up, the trio finally reached Sky Bless City's front gate.
The trio showcased their badges and stepped right into the massive city.
Cain and Amber were able to appreciate the scenery up close.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStreets created with luxurious jewels were as wide as they had come. Cain estimated them to be at least tens of thousands of meters wide.
Plenty of shops that all sold various items took up great spaces but never felt crowded. The population was heavy and yet everyone has a great width to move about.
This place showed exactly what the God Galaxy is all about. Fast-paced and filled with numerous experts, all banding together to compete with other forces.
At this time, Zhou Ping set his sights on a floating celestial mountain to the east. A hint of relief and joy glazed his eyes.
He hurriedly said, "Over there is my Zhou Family estate. Come on, I can get your place within a minute."
Under Zhou Ping's lead, the trio quickly flew over to the Zhou Family estate.
Fewer people were around as they neared the estate. It was an unspoken sign of respect that only members of the estate would get close to it.
If not, a person would need to be a special guess in order to not draw suspicion.
Zhou Ping didn't expect anything different to happen. However, when he was merely a mile close to the celestial mountain, a powerful aura locked down on all three of them.
The trio knitted their brows. The pressure wasn't enough to restrict their movements but clearly intended to get in their way.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Zhou Ping's eyes. He spoke in an essence transmission to the duo. 'Sorry, Sir Lee and Miss Xun. I'll deal with this annoyance quickly.'
After he spoke, a tall, handsome man suddenly appeared before them.
The man had his clasped behind his back, donned an elegant robe with the Tian Family symbol inscribed upon it, and exuded a domineering presence. His Divine Aura was solid and denser than the average genius.
Both Cain and Amber could identify this guy as most likely some big-shot Great Divine Sea genius.
The Tian Family genius didn't even spare a glance at the duo. His attention stayed solely on Zhou Ping with an inquisitive expression.
He directly asked, "Zhou Ping. It's quite a surprise seeing you out in the open. But I won't waste words and cut to the chase. You were the last direct descendent seen leaving the City. And it was only a little bit later than my cousins left the city in the same direction as you. Perhaps you know anything about this?"
Zhou Ping stayed neutral on the outside. But inwardly, he couldn't believe what he had heard. 'So those two were actually the cousin of Tian Nuo! Thankfully, weren't too important or things could've been a lot worse.'
At the same time he had these thoughts, Zhou Ping didn't miss a beat as he said, "Tian Nuo, I'm not sure at all how this relates to me? In fact, not just them, but others of our own have been reported missing this last week. My other brother Ming and your direct descendent Tian Ling are also missing, no? Perhaps there's something larger here than you or I can realize."
"I see." Tian Nuo muttered with a slightly strange expression. For the first time, he briefly glanced at Cain and Amber, but quickly shifted his attention off from them a moment later.
"Well then, I'll leave you to it." With that, Tian Nuo quickly flew back to his own estate.
In that short moment, Amber's expression remained indifferent, but she sent an essence transmission to Cain specifically. 'That look he gave us...perhaps he has a device that can retail Divine Auras? It wouldn't surprise me. World Spirit Masters have powerful means of tracking certain people's aura signatures.'
'Even if he did, I already cast Chaotic Concealment on all of us as he came here. No matter a World Spirit Master means it's impossible to surpass Chaos energy,' Cain confidently replied.
Neither of them was even considering the irony that they, the murderers of a Zhou bloodline descendent, were not only getting invited by another descendent but had also saved his life...
Zhou Ping exhaled a sigh full of relief when Tian Nuo went out of sight. As he looked at the duo, his lips nearly twitched.
He shook his head and said, "Alright then. Let's continue on."
Without any interruptions this time, Zhou Ping led the duo straight into the Zhou Family estate.
At the highest point of the celestial mountain was a magnificently huge manor. It took up several miles all on its own. This was where the main headquarters of the Zhou Family resides.
As they flew behind Zhou Ping, Cain and Amber briefly felt a force halt their movements. This force rapidly spread all throughout their bodies and nearly sealed every part of their beings.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn that brief duration, the badges within the duo's spatial ring suddenly flashed out. It flew into their palms and then released a wave of energy that engulfed the duo in a faint purple aura.
With the purple aura, the invisible force vanished from their bodies.
Cain and Amber half-expected a security measure like this.
But Cain, still curiously, asked, "I'm assuming the badge you give out is specifically connected to your bloodline? Thus, giving us entrance into the main manor?"
Zhou Ping lightly smiled. "Indeed. If you're not apart from the main palace, or given access or a powerful Divine Ruler, it would be impossible to enter here. My Zhou Family is one of the tops for reasons like this."
He then gestured towards the right side of the manor and explained. "Over here is my faction courtyard. I'll get you Sir and Miss situated before I need to meet with my father."
Not wasting a second longer, the trio sped off towards the manor.
There was still the occasional patrolling guard, all either Zenith Great Divine Sea warriors or Divine Star experts wandering about. But no one dared to stop Zhou Ping, even with Cain and Amber tailing behind.
After taking the side entrance and down a long hallway filled with luxurious decorations, the trio soon entered a beautifully massive courtyard.
The fragrance of Divine nature whiffed into Cain's and Amber's noses. The rich Divine Essence permeating the atmosphere instantly refreshed their bodies.
With how spacious the courtyard was, there existed several smaller yet still luxurious houses planted all around. The living quarters weren't exaggerated in the slightest.
But what first caught the duo's attention when entering in were several other Divine Auras and a large group of people hanging out in the center of the field.
A wide array of characters were presented to the duo. To beautiful maidens, handsome men, older veteran warriors, and even people with bestial characteristics, all gathered here.
Cain and Amber were intrigued that it wasn't just a pack of humans within Zhou Ping's faction. It was common for the same race to gather together, so this young noble most likely has a more open mind.
This diverse group instantly took notice of Zhou Ping before settling intent gazes on the duo.
As the limelight, Cain and Amber certainly felt the atmosphere become more stifling. But just this wasn't enough to even make their faces twitch.
Zhou Ping noticed the atmosphere, but wasn't worried in the slightest. He calmly smiled as he introduced the duo. "Everyone, this is Sir Lee and Miss Xun. These two are our newest members. They had actually saved me just a while ago. Don't let first impressions fool you. Sir Lee and Miss Xun are actual geniuses with prowess equal to at least the Great Divine Sea realm!"
