God of Pets-Chapter 644: The Storyteller

Taishan City.

The Ten Mansions and the City Lord's Mansion were anxiously waiting for news from the spies.

They were eager to know how the Purple Sun Corps fared in the battle at Mute City.

However, despite sending out spies in several batches, no information had been reported back, nor had any spies returned.

It wasn't until a person covered in blood collapsed in front of Taishan City's gate that the Ten Mansions learned Mr. Xiao had returned, but he was already half-dead.

The head of the Ten Mansions was restless and had to personally visit the City Lord's Mansion to inquire.

Mr. Xiao was still unconscious, and only after using every method they could did they finally pull him back from the gates of death and obtained intelligence about Mute City from him.

But after listening to Mr. Xiao's intermittent recount, they were all dumbfounded.

They suspected Mr. Xiao wasn't a spy but rather a storyteller.

Saying things like a single palm strike sending the Night King flying to the horizon, or one palm wiping out tens of thousands of demon soldiers, or a slap killing several demon generals, or an axe splitting a giant mountain thousands of meters tall, creating a grand canyon.

They suspected Mr. Xiao wasn't reporting on the battle at Mute City, but telling a story about someone swatting flies.

No, it's not even that simple, for beings like the Night King and demon generals to count as flies in Mr. Xiao's tale.

And those two hundred thousand demon soldiers were nothing but a pile of ant eggs, crushed with a single step.

In short, in Mr. Xiao's tale, Zi Donglai in his supreme giant form sweeps away the Night King like a fly, killing two hundred thousand demon soldiers with a mere turn of his hand—he even split a mountain, creating a grand canyon.

Finally, with one palm, he annihilated the remaining demon forces trying to escape, even affecting those reconnaissance soldiers who were watching from afar.

Other reconnaissance soldiers were completely annihilated by the terrifying primordial energy, leaving not a trace, while Mr. Xiao exerted all his strength to barely survive the aftershock of that palm.

They knew Mr. Xiao's abilities well; if even he was left with only half a life by the aftershock, the other reconnaissance soldiers couldn't possibly have survived.

"That incredible ability of Zi Donglai to maintain giant form…continuously using it…" Everyone found it hard to accept, even stunned.

Such terrifying power could not possibly belong to human cultivators in the Grotto Heaven; their previous speculation that Zi Donglai's secret collection or the Spirit Devouring God provided him with a one-time life-saving measure was already considered outrageous.

But now it seems, that's not the case.

Zi Donglai could not only maintain his giant form but also use horrifying primordial energy secret skills while in that form.

Such an existence in the Grotto Heaven is simply a BUG.

The managers of the Ten Mansions found it hard to believe Mr. Xiao's words; it was completely illogical.

They hurriedly sent out trusted subordinates to investigate Mute City again.

And this time, those they sent were people with extraordinary abilities like Mr. Xiao, not ordinary reconnaissance soldiers.

When those people reported back, the Ten Mansions were stunned.

The plight of Mute City had indeed been resolved, the Purple Sun Corps suffered no casualties, and the demon army had vanished without a trace.

And that mountain split into two stood solidly there, telling everyone about the boundless terror of that strike.

Everything indicated that Mr. Xiao was right, Zi Donglai indeed defeated the demon army.

And from the information gathered from the side, it was confirmed no demon soldiers escaped back to the cities in Nine Demon City, not a single demon general returned from the battle.

Each piece of news left the families of the Ten Great Families gaping.

"With the Spirit Devouring God's help, Zi Donglai is invincible in the Grotto Heaven!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Don't become enemies with him!"

"What is his relationship with the Spirit Devouring God?"

Such doubts made the Ten Great Families wary, not even daring to send troops to reclaim the cities occupied by demons, afraid of inciting misunderstandings or hostility from Zi Donglai.

Despite their fear, no one troubled Chen Guan, instead reporting Zi Donglai's situation to the upper echelons of their families.

After receiving the news, the higher-ups of the Ten Great Families shared the same thought: they could not make an enemy of Zi Donglai in the Grotto Heaven.

Fortunately, Zi Donglai was just one person, and he only fought demons.

"He likes to fight demons, so let him. Anyway, without anyone guarding those places, sooner or later, they will return to our hands." Some high-ups from the Ten Great Families laughed and discussed with their peers.

Others believed Zi Donglai probably wouldn't have good days for long.

The Night King was not dead, and after returning to Demon King City, would likely seek out that newly risen Great Demon King of Demon King City.

Humans had already crossed paths with that new demon king in other grottoes, an incredibly terrifying existence—when two tigers fight, one will surely get hurt.

If Zi Donglai and that demon king were to seriously injure or even kill each other, it would be the best outcome.

The Ten Great Families instructed the manager of Taishan City to stay put, letting Zi Donglai and the Purple Sun Corps do as they pleased.

...

Although Chen Guan achieved a great victory in this battle, the benefits gained were not as plentiful as before.

The reason being there was no demon city here, just a barracks.

There certainly wouldn't be too many good things in a barracks, aside from the demons' secret treasures, there were just some supplies.

Also, the secret treasures from those demon generals were all recovered by Chen Guan.

Apart from that, there wasn't much additional collection.

What Chen Guan didn't expect was that the paperman, which couldn't be summoned before at the Five Senses level, actually leveled up again in this battle, breaking through to Six Senses, reaching an astounding level 51.

This was both a good and bad thing for Chen Guan.

The paperman being able to level up, and so quickly, was naturally good.

However, it also meant that until reaching Six Senses, he wouldn't be able to summon the paperman again.

"I used to think the paperman leveled up too slowly, now it's too fast and that's not too good either." Chen Guan didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

Of course, Chen Guan wasn't going to idle around. After resettling the residents of Mute City, he embarked on a journey again.

Mute City was no longer suitable for human habitation after being destroyed, so Chen Guan took the opportunity to bring all the people of Mute City to his Purple Sun City.

The residents of Mute City were more than willing to join a city like Purple Sun City as it meant no longer worrying about survival.

For those who endured numerous hardships, it was the best choice.

Otherwise, staying here without the protection of a city, they never knew when the demons might return, leading to even greater suffering.

However, Chen Guan temporarily did not open the teleportation array, not allowing any of the Mute City residents to leave.

Because after the battle, Chen Guan received a letter written by Mr. Xiao, containing his plan and a request for Chen Guan to cooperate.

"In this world, there are still kind people after all." Naturally, Chen Guan was very willing to cooperate with Mr. Xiao. Although he wasn't afraid of the Gong Family, having more time to develop was best.

"With Mr. Xiao's help, those guys from Taishan City won't dare come out to take advantage, and the belongings of Nine Demon City will all be mine." Chen Guan led the army and civilians of Purple Sun City towards the demon city.

Even without people to guard the city, he intended to first seize all the good stuff from inside the city.
