He had brought an undead army right to their doorstep and even bulldozed half of the pce, yet he hadn’t caught sight of a single high-level official!


    After entering the interior of the Dog Emperor’s pce, his Spirit detection was somewhat suppressed, but for him, it was not a big issue.


    Along with two merged mutant abilities, there was essentially nothing that could escape his sensory detection.


    The Dog Emperor and his senior members were hiding in a corner of the pce at the moment, without any fluctuation of aura,pletely undetectable.


    The reason he found their location was because this corner concealed arge number of Fourth Order Peak experts and Fourth Order Peak Shikigami.


    A few hundred Fourth Order Peak little ninjas, a few thousand Fourth Order Peak Shikigami—the strength of this group was so formidable that breaking out would not have been difficult.


    But they were guarding a not-sorge area in the corner of the pce, not showing the slightest intention of escaping.


    He plowed through everything in his path, leaving no building in the pce intact.


    However, he did not obtain any resources, and even the royal treasury waspletely empty—obviously emptied by the Dog Emperor’s people.


    With his belongings gone, Lord Zi was even more resolved not to let go of any of the little devils in the pce.


    After smashing his way to the destination, he found the ce already bracing for his arrival.


    Arge protective array, a group of soldiers standing straight, and above their heads fluttered a group of Shikigami.


    At the center of the array, the Dog Emperor, dressed in a cassia-dyed imperial robe and holding a treasure sword with a dark green scabbard, stood grim-faced at the very heart of the array.


    On his immediate left and right sides, about one meter away, stood two individuals, one in a white robe and the other in a ck robe. The one in white held a bell, and the one in ck held a ck scripture book.


    Around these three figures, eight ninja-like individuals moved like phantoms, ghostly and unreal.


    This disy caught Zi Liyuan off guard and made him cautious.


    Thest time he invaded the little devils’ pce, they all hid away, and now they dared to confront him head-on. He didn’t believe for a second that they didn’t have a scheme nned.


    Besides, although the Dog Emperor was present, he hadn’t seen a single high-level official, which was very strange.

    "Damn it, every which way you turn, Spirit detection is blocked, it’s so frustrating!"


    Unable to detect anything with Spirit, even the "Elemental Map" only showed which areas were abnormal without revealing specific information.


    This uncertainty annoyed Zi Liyuan, and he raised his vignce to the highest level.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    He didn’t want to capsize in the waters of the little devils.


    With Number Two and Sikong You hiding behind Old Turtle, Zi Liyuan looked toward the Spider Queen.


    With such a formation, he felt that only the Spider Queen and Orochi, the two Legendary BOSSes, could hold the fort.


    However, as fearful of death as Orochi was, even now, having invaded the inner regions of Tokyo City, it still hid within the realm of specters, not daring to show itself.


    As for the Yuki-onna, also a Legendary BOSS, she was truly weak. Even Lao Tie could defeat her—she was a disgrace to the legendary rank.


    "Zi! Li! Yuan! You! Truly! Deserve!


    Death!"


    A sullen and oppressive roar echoed throughout the area.


    A unique Spirit shockwave, like a st wave, swept across the entire ce.


    Zi Liyuan and his followers only felt a tremor in their spirits, and then a faint purplish glow of protective energy lit up around each of them.


    All the undead creatures’ eyes med with soul fire that suddenly leaped violently, the powerful Lord Bosses and above unaffected.


    But those entities below the rank of Lord Boss had their soul fires shaken, with blood-red damage numbers floating above their heads.


    "Whether I deserve to die or not, I do not know, but I do know that your little devils are heading for annihtion this time," Zi Liyuan retorted, his eyebrows cocked impishly and his tone tinged with mockery. However, in the hands he held behind him, several scrolls of Fourth Order Holy Shield Technique had appeared.


    These scrolls were indeed powerful in defense, but their effective duration was pitifully short; the power of a single scroll could onlyst for three minutes, and the Holy Light Energy would instantly dissipate once the time was up.


    Against the assault of arge group of Fourth Order Peak experts, without four or fiveyers of protection, there was no sense of security.


    The previous three surprise attacks had proved that a mere singleyer of Holy Shield Technique was nothing; it would shatter as soon as you said so.


    With so many Fourth Order Peak experts gathered here in the Dog Emperor’s pce, plus the strength of the Dog Emperor himself, Zi Liyuan felt that even fiveyers of Holy Shield Technique might not hold.


    Number Two and Sikong You, who were half a step behind him, of course, saw these subtle moves out of the corners of their eyes.


    Especially when they saw the hand gestures Zi Liyuan made behind his back, both of them also took out three scrolls of Fourth Order Holy Shield Technique from behind their backs. They were ready to activate them immediately if the situation turned sour.


    "Then die you shall!"


    The Dog Emperor bellowed angrily, unleashing another Spirit-targeting shockwave from his mouth.


    At the same time, a massive shadow flew out from behind him, hovering mid-air, and stared down at Zi Liyuan and his crew.


    Its face as if dyed with blood, nose long and sharp, limbs human-like, body dog-shaped, back adorned with stark ck wings—neither human nor bird nor dog, this was the infamous ghost king among the little devils—Tengu!


    Legendary BOSS!


    As Zi Liyuan examined the bloodthirsty, cold eyes of Tengu, he felt slightly relieved. However, he also felt a bit resentful that the intelligence from Dragon Academy had not been updated.


    Damn it, in order to help Number Two collect the blood of a billion living creatures and the souls of a million Fourth Order beings, he had gone through all the intelligence records on the little devils.
