God of Pets

Chapter 679 Her Father Has Arrived
The Demon King's army will need a very long time to cross the Kunwu Sea.

During this period, the Gong family was not idle either; they tried every means possible to obtain information about Ziyang City.

"Bai Xiuyan is not to be underestimated. The move he used to kill Mo Qianpo was probably some kind of mental attack."

"Their commander-in-chief, Teng, can form soul contracts with multiple people. This makes him much more flexible and faster in controlling the army than ordinary people, and there will be no deviation in orders. This alone is enough to make the Ziyang Army superior to other armies. No wonder the Ziyang Army is so powerful."

“That Mr. Xiao is from the Xiao family of Nanli Kingdom. His strength is at the top of the sixth sense, but his greatest strength is in internal affairs and strategy. This person cannot be allowed to live. We need a top expert to kill him directly.”

"Although we don't know who that person is, we can be sure that there is a top assassin in the Ziyang Legion. This can be seen from their previous battles. Many of their opponents' commanders died inexplicably."

“Nan Zilan should not be underestimated. He has rich experience in leading troops and is very capable in combat. His own strength is also top-notch.”

"..."

The Gong family thoroughly investigated the Ziyang Corps, uncovering the backgrounds of almost all the important figures on Chen Guan's side, without showing any disrespect.

The Gong family also knew that if they couldn't completely eliminate Ziyang City in this battle, even if they only managed to let Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua escape, there would be a lot of trouble ahead.

In particular, Zi Donglai is related to the Devouring Spirit God. Although the Devouring Spirit God roams between heaven and earth and does not interfere in matters between humans and spirits.

But it is, after all, the gatekeeper of the Sky Secret Realm. To enter the Sky Secret Realm in the future, one must pass the test of the Soul Devouring God.

No one wants to offend the Soul Devourer unless absolutely necessary.

The various families' goals are not only to control the Earth Realm, but they also have designs on the Sky Realm.

It's just that my current strength is insufficient to enter the Sky Secret Realm.

However, given the current situation, they have to kill their mortal enemy, so they can't worry about what happens afterward.

Entering the Sky Realm is still a long way off; we haven't even been able to control the Great Cave Heaven yet, so the Sky Realm is far too distant.

Moreover, they could directly pin the blame for killing Zi Donglai on the Demon King City and the Demon King, making it unrelated to the Gong family.

If the Devouring God causes trouble because of this matter in the future, it will be trouble for the Demon King's City.

The Gong family took all factors into account and prepared contingency plans in advance, deducing and preparing for the worst time. They preferred to be well-prepared rather than give them any chance.

Many powerful figures from the Great Cave Heavens have already reduced their levels and returned to their cave heavens.

After the losses incurred last time, the Gong family found it extremely difficult to spare so many powerful individuals from other grotto-heavens to participate in this siege.

After all, it's impossible to transfer all the people from other grotto-heavens here, as that would be too much of a loss for them. We still need to leave some people behind to maintain the territory and interests of the other grotto-heavens.

……

Chen Guan was enjoying his meal when a messenger rushed over, saying that someone was causing trouble in Ziyang City and a fight had broken out at the city gate, and that they seemed to have suffered a loss.

Chen Guan and Bai Xiuyan quickly got up and went to the city gate.

Upon reaching the city gate tower and looking out, one could see Nan Zilan fighting with a middle-aged scholar.

Nan Zilan was truly enraged and had even used the Heavenly Destiny Star Mask, but he still couldn't touch a single hair on the middle-aged scholar's head.

Even the middle-aged scholar didn't use his hands; he simply put them behind his back and moved his body to force Nan Zilan to retreat repeatedly.

Bai Xiuyan was taken aback: "This person has amazing movement skills?" Chen Guan and Bai Xiuyan were well aware of Nan Zilan's strength; she was a top-notch expert who could charge into battle on the battlefield. How could her strength be lacking?

In a one-on-one situation, apart from top figures like Bai Xiuyan and Jin Taohua, it wouldn't be easy for anyone else to defeat Nan Zilan.

But this middle-aged scholar didn't even use his hands to force Nan Zilan to this extent; his strength is terrifying.

Chen Guan glanced at him and said with a smile, "This man's agility is certainly impressive; he's Ximen the Drunkard."

"He's Ximen the Drunkard? No wonder." Bai Xiuyan had also heard of Ximen the Drunkard's reputation, but had never met him.

Moreover, Ximen Jiugui did not use his most famous Ghost Immortal Step, but Chen Guan could tell at a glance that although Ximen Jiugui did not use the Ghost Immortal Step, it was a secret technique within the Ghost Immortal Step.

He agreed to let Ximen Bing join Ziyang City in the hope that one day he could lure Ximen the Drunkard into joining Ziyang City.

Now the real deal has arrived, and its strength is indeed top-notch.

That's not just about movement techniques. Movement techniques can only dodge attacks, but to force Nan Zilan back like Ximen Jiugui did, you need much more.

This alone shows that Ximen Jiugui is a top-tier expert in the Six Senses realm.

"Should we go and call Simon Bing over?" Teng Mingli suggested from the side.

At this time, Simon Bing should still be sleeping; she doesn't have the habit of waking up early.

"Since he hasn't revealed his identity, let's not go and call Simon Bing yet," Chen Guan said with a smile.

This is a golden opportunity. If both parties reveal their identities, there are some things he can't do.

Some things have to be done now.

"You guys stay here and watch, I'll go and deal with him." Chen Guan flew down the building, flashed into the battle, and pulled Nan Zilan out of the battle.

Otherwise, given Nan Zilan's own speed, he wouldn't be able to shake off Ximen the Drunkard.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Ziyang City?" Chen Guan asked him about his background first, but then accused him of something else.

Someone like Ximen the Drunkard would probably be unwilling to reveal his name now, which is exactly what Chen Guan wants.

If he revealed his identity as Ximen Bing's father, Chen Guan would have no chance to subdue him first.

"You are Zi Donglai?" Ximen Jiugui sized up Chen Guan and said with a frown.

“That’s right, I am Zi Donglai. Why have you trespassed into my Ziyang City?” Chen Guan asked again.

“I’ve come to ask you for someone,” said Simon the Drunkard.

"You haven't even explained your background before asking me for people. What do you take my Ziyang City for?" Chen Guan said coldly.

Ximen the Drunkard was clearly a proud and arrogant person. Seeing Chen Guan's attitude, he also lowered his face and said, "I need your permission to find someone."

"You're really good at playing along." Chen Guan was secretly pleased to hear Ximen the Drunkard say this, but his face remained as cold as ice. He said in a deep voice, "I want to see what you're capable of, daring to be so arrogant in my Ziyang City."
