Chapter 1706 Heavily Guarded
"Despite his power, Tobias was too arrogant. It''s a terrible idea to fight on the battlefield with such an
ego, which is why he died at my hands. He deserved it," Vivian said proudly.
"Now that Tobias is dead, the people of the Primitive Fief ought to watch out and behave themselves!"
Valeria eximed with a snort.
"I don''t think so. But in such a short period, they wouldn''t dare think it''s easy to ruffle our feathers."
Rocky shook his head. They ughtered a Spiritual Emperor of the Primitive Fief. The fief''s people
would never let this go easily but they would never dare to act so abruptly either.
"Let''s take a day off. We''ll be on our way tomorrow!" Vivian ordered.
A few hourster, news spread to the guard team of the Primitive Fief that Vivian killed Tobias. They
were near the area where the Nether Dragon King''sir was stationed.
"What? Tobias was murdered by Vivian?" This news shocked all of the Spiritual Emperors of the
Primitive Fief.
Tobias'' strength was only second to that of Israel and another high-level Spiritual Emperor in the team.
He was one of their most powerful fighters, so the news of him being killed so easily was quite
unexpected.
"Considering his strength, Tobias would be too difficult to kill for an ordinary warrior. He must have
underestimated his enemy!" Israel''s face darkened at the revtion. The overall strength of his guards
was certainly reduced now that Tobias was dead. Fortunately, they were already near their of the
Nether Dragon King, so their progress wouldn''t be greatly affected. Still, this was a huge loss for the
Primitive Fief.
"These bastards have gone too far. How dare they hurt our people?"
"That''s right. We can''t tolerate this anymore. I''m willing to lead a group and kill them once and for all!"
"If this news spreads, the others will think the Primitive Fief are all cowards who can''t defend
themselves!"
The Spiritual Emperors of the Primitive Fief were greatly displeased and utterly enraged.
"Everyone, calm down. We will undoubtedly have our vengeance. But right now, we''re getting closer to
the Nether Dragon King''sir. As long as we stay on course and reach it, your mission will beplete.
By then, I won''t stop any of you from seeking vengeance. But we must guarantee our safe and smooth
arrival at their first," Israel dered, reminding them all that their mission was the top priority.
"Yes, you''re right." None of the Spiritual Emperors dared to object.
Meanwhile, the other two guard teams that were also trying to get closer to the Nether Dragon King''s
At the camp of the Purgatory Fief''s team, a Spiritual Emperor returned and reported Tobias'' demise.
The Godly Genius of the Purgatory Fief was an eighteen-year-old boy named Quentin.
He was the nephew of the Purgatory Fief''s leader. Despite his young age, he was especially talented
even when he was a kid. Not only was he an expert at summoning demons but he was also quite
meticulous and extremely intelligent. In fact, he was so intelligent that he was thought to be the
smartest one among all the nine Godly Geniuses.
"Interesting, isn''t it? I didn''t expect the Primitive Fief to lose a Spiritual Emperor at the premium stage
so easily," Quentin brought up with a mockingugh.
"If the Ghost Fief and the Primitive Fief continue to fight like this, it will be to our advantage," a Spiritual
Emperor shared with a sinister smile stered across his face.
"It''s not that simple. Israel may look careless, but he is very cautious. He must have thought of the
situation you just mentioned, so he''ll certainly make a move against the Ghost Fief once thetter
arrives at the Nether Dragon King''sir. Since the guard team can''t interfere with taming the Nether
Dragon King, this is a job that should be left solely to a Godly Genius. By then, the guard team''s duty
will be to stop any other team that tries to get close to their," Quentin exined with a wave of his
hand.
"Then we don''t stand a chance, do we?"
"That''s not necessarily the case. Entering the Nether Dragon King''sir is no easy feat. But the person
who manages to achieve upying the entrance to their will secure the upper hand," Quentin
added. A hint of deviousness could be seen in his eyes.

"You mean…"
"I''m certain the Primitive Fief will arrive at the entrance first, but it''s hard to say who will follow them.
Since there currently is a feud between the Primitive Fief and the Ghost Fief, there''s no reason for us to
rush to get to the Nether Dragon King''sir. Why don''t we help the Ghost Fief reach their quicker?
That way, a big battle will ensue between them as soon as they arrive," Quentin proposed.
"Oh, excellent! What an excellent idea!" the Spiritual Emperors eximed in awe.
"Make the necessary preparations. We should be ready to set off right away," Quentin ordered.
Soon, the guard team of the Purgatory Fief turned around and headed to the joint guard team of Rocky
and Valeria.
Three days quickly passed.
After ughtering Tobias, the joint guard team went on smoothly with little hindrance.
"There are only two days left before we reach the Nether Dragon King''sir..." Meanwhile, in the tent,
Vivian, Rocky, Valeria, and the Spiritual Emperors were listening to the reconnaissance team''s report.
"Very good. But the closer we get to the Nether Dragon King''sir, the more cautious we ought to be!"
Vivian warned everyone.
"Agreed. I didn''t expect things to go so smoothly over these past couple of days. We hardly
encountered any trouble along the way," Valeria pointed out. Since the joint guard team wasn''t met with
any obstacles, she could now concentrate on recovering. Nearly seventy percent of her injuries had
been healed.
"But don''t you find it strange? The closer we get to the center, the more diabolic beasts we should''ve
encountered. Yet we saw none..." one of the Spiritual Emperors pointed out immediately.
"The answer to your question is simple. Someone must''ve helped us!" In fact, Rocky had already
thought of this earlier.
"Someone was helping us?" Vivian and the rest looked at Rocky, confused.
"Yes. Someone must have wanted us to arrive at the Nether Dragon King''sir as soon as possible,"
Rocky spected.
"What? But who would be that kind?" Valeria snorted.
"The other Godly Geniuses. They probably want us to fight against the Primitive Fief and take
advantage of the situation." Rocky smiled.
"I see." Vivian immediately understood what he meant.
"Then how do we go about this situation? We can''t just let other Godly Geniuses take advantage of us
like this!" Valeria questioned quickly.
"There''s no need to do anything at the moment. Now that someone is clearing the way for us, we can
avoid tons of trouble. Isn''t it perfect? As for the rest, we''ll talk about it once we get to the Nether Dragon
King''sir. Moreover, we don''t have any background on our enemy yet so we can''t risk acting so
suddenly either," Rocky replied with his exnation.
"It''s the only way." Valeria agreed with him. The most important thing right now was to arrive at their
safely first.
With this in mind, the joint guard team continued to move forward for two days before finally arriving
near the Nether Dragon King''sir. They knew that their''s entrance must have been guarded by
people from the Primitive Fief, so they didn''t risk trying to break in. Instead, they found a safe area
nearby to set up camp and sent two Spiritual Emperors to the entrance where they would collect more
information about their enemy.
As expected, the two Spiritual Emperors returned not long after and immediately reported, "The
entrance is heavily guarded by guards from the Primitive Fief. An enchanted barrier has been set up as
well so that no one can sneak into their, not even a fly."
