Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 308 Shock

Meanwhile, in the Upper City area.

The Zhou family is using all its resources to strictly control the news; however, the commotion from this attack and battle was too great, and there were too many witnesses, so the news still managed to get out quietly.

Major families, wealthy elites, and powerful figures all received this intelligence.

The Zhou family has been attacked.

A titled figure has fallen!

These two pieces of news alone caused a change in the expressions of various factions.

They immediately sent people to gather more detailed intelligence and uncover more inside information. Soon, another explosive piece of news broke.

There was only one person who attacked the Zhou family.

This news immediately shocked and alerted all parties involved!

The fact that he could single-handedly attack the Zhou family demonstrates a level of combat capability that could definitely impact the current political landscape of Longjiang Base City.

The tranquility that had enveloped the Upper City seemed to be stirred up in that instant, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

……

Inside the Liu family residence.

All the elders and high-ranking members of the family sat in the conference hall, their faces grim and expressions solemn. The entire Liu family was alarmed when they received the intelligence from "Willow Leaf" within the Zhou family.

They received more detailed information, including not only the number of attackers but also their identities... and that they were connected to the pet shop!

The pet shop has recently risen to prominence, attracting considerable attention by opposing the Liu family and using various arrogant slogans and top-tier dragon beasts.

The power struggle between the Liu family and that store is also well-known.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the game, their opponent suddenly ran over and beat up the person sitting next to them watching the match.

This looks like something that often happens in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game): Did they bomb the wrong person?!

But obviously, such a basic mistake couldn't have happened without reason. They wanted to know why the store attacked the Zhou family and what the specific details of the battle were.

"You know everything now, right?"

Clan Chief Liu Tianzong surveyed the entire scene with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "Half an hour ago, the Zhou family was attacked, and the one who fell was Zhou Feng, who had just been promoted in the Zhou family in the past few years."

As you all know, although he has only recently been promoted to a titled figure, he was a genius of the previous generation of the Zhou family. His most glorious achievement was escaping from a titled figure from another city when he was at the eighth rank. It is rumored that he has the ability to fight against opponents of higher ranks.

Moreover, this person has kept a low profile during the years since his promotion to the titled level. If he hadn't perished, he would have been a formidable vanguard for the Zhou family in the future!

Liu Tianzong glanced at the silent crowd and said in a low voice, "And this tiger, which was still growing, was killed within the Zhou family's residence. What level of cultivation do you think the person who killed him possessed?"

Everyone's eyes flickered slightly, and they all felt a sense of oppression in their chests.

Within the Zhou family compound, to kill a Zhou family member with a title level, especially a genius like Zhou Feng who can fight beyond his level, such combat power... must be at least at the upper level of the title level!

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Tianzong stood up and said, "According to Ye Zi's information, Zhou Feng was killed because he fought alone and was somewhat careless."

However, after killing Zhou Feng, this person fought against several elders of the Zhou family and the patriarch Zhou Tianlin, but in the end he still left without a trace, and they could not stop him!

From this perspective, this person should possess the ultimate combat power of a titled individual, or be an extremely monstrous talent who has risen to the rank of titled master!

The meeting hall fell silent upon hearing his solemn voice.

After a brief silence, an elder spoke up: "Clan leader, why would this person attack the Zhou family? Since this person is behind that pet shop, isn't it unwise for them to make enemies of the Zhou family now, as they already have enough of provoking our Liu family? Could it be that the Zhou family has done something that has angered both heaven and man?"

Everyone else looked at Liu Tianzong, sharing the same question in their minds.

In their earlier view, this store was mostly an outside force that wanted to enter Longjiang Base City and chose to target the Liu family, wanting to trample on their corpse and take their place.

But this incident has completely overturned their previous ideas.

To provoke the Liu family so rashly was already incredibly arrogant, but before even dealing with them, they went and provoked another powerful family. Wasn't this just declaring war on both families?!

The Zhou family must have done something extremely heinous to drive this shop mad and out of control!

Everyone thought the same thing.

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Liu Tianzong's lips curled slightly. He had just learned the reason for the attack on the Zhou family from another member of the Dark Leaf faction.

This An Ye has been rooted in the Zhou family for over twenty years, and has always maintained a one-way contact with him personally.

Upon learning the reason, he even suspected that the intelligence had been transmitted incorrectly.

The reason for the attack on the Zhou family was completely different from what he had imagined...

I took a deep breath.

Liu Tianzong slowly said, "The Zhou family was attacked because they sent someone to bribe the person who provides the top 100 service at this store, to smear the store and defame their reputation, and to have this person impersonate someone from our Liu family in an attempt to escalate the conflict between our Liu family and this store."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Some people were still looking at Liu Tianzong with puzzled expressions, waiting for him to continue, but Liu Tianzong shut his mouth, obviously having finished speaking.

That's all?

That's it?

Just because they sent people to smear the shop's reputation, they've targeted the Zhou family?

This even cost the life of a titled expert?!

Everyone looked at each other, feeling somewhat astonished and incredulous.

They thought something terrible had happened, something even more serious than the murder of their father, but they never expected it to be such a trivial matter, as insignificant as a sesame seed.

To tarnish the shop's reputation?

They have people doing this online every day!

Smearing competitors—isn't that a basic tactic in business competition?!

Even if they send someone to the store to cause trouble, it would just be a small farce!

Just for this, they went straight to kill the Zhou family?

Everyone was speechless. Although the Zhou family had also offended the Liu family in this matter, for some reason, they all felt that the Zhou family was somewhat wronged.

but.

They don't deserve sympathy.

Yeah, right!

Who gave you permission to escalate our conflict?

Now look what's happened! You've messed with a lunatic, and he's made you lose all face!

"Does the Zhou family... have nothing better to do?" someone said.

The others nodded in agreement.

It's one thing for you to just stand by and watch the show, but you actually went and stirred things up yourself.

Feeling good now?

Now he's lost himself too.

However, they still have to thank the Zhou family for this, as they at least helped them find out some hidden information about the store.

First of all, there's this shop, which has a powerful player who seems to be at the limit of being banned.

Secondly, this store is a bit strange; you can't quite figure out what makes them angry.

Ultimately, the Zhou family's actions earned them an additional ally.

This ally was none other than the foolish and unlucky Zhou family.

Although the Zhou family was also targeting them in this matter, it seems that this shop is much more troublesome than the Zhou family. After all, they still don't know the true nature of this shop, while they are quite familiar with the Zhou family.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Zhou family is currently in a difficult situation, and it's clearly unreasonable for them to refuse a joint effort.

"Chief, should we continue preparing the items for this shop for tomorrow's Grand League?" a high-ranking member of the clan asked cautiously, worried that testing the waters over such a small matter might offend this rather shady shop again.

Liu Tianzong raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Of course we'll continue. Our Liu family isn't the Zhou family. If they dare to come knocking on our door, we'll make sure they don't leave alive!"

"That's right."

"Exactly, what makes the Zhou family think they can compare to our Liu family? We'd love for them to come knocking on our door."

"They're coming to our turf, they're asking for trouble, and they even want to act violently?"

Everyone else chimed in.

Liu Tianzong raised his hand and pressed down slightly, and the conference hall immediately fell silent again. He continued to speak, discussing the next steps, while also ordering people to continue investigating the attack on the Zhou family and dig out more details.

In his heart, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.

……

Inside the Qin family residence.

In a quiet bamboo garden, an old man sits in a pavilion, sipping tea and calming his mind.

"Father, that's how it is."

A burly middle-aged man sat by the tea pavilion and respectfully said that he was the son of the Qin family patriarch and the previous generation's young master of the Qin family, a seed of the Qin family.

However, his talent was rather ordinary. Before he could inherit the Qin family, his son Qin Shaotian was born. He was born with innate awakening and showed extraordinary talent in cultivation. He directly took over his seed identity and became the new young master of the Qin family. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also be the successor of the Qin family in the future.

Fortunately, this was his son, and he was relieved.

"I understand." The old man sat in his armchair, gently fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. He closed his eyes and looked very relaxed. Two wisps of tea vapor, like white dragons, drifted into his nostrils from the teacup on his table as he savored the taste of the tea.

"I asked Lao Zhao about this shop. Although he didn't reveal much, he warned me not to mess with it."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep, and said, "Over the years, there has never been anyone that Old Zhao is so wary of, so afraid of offending because of leaking secrets. This shop... don't mess with it."

The burly middle-aged man's pupils contracted. He was afraid of offending people and didn't even dare to ask them a few questions about the inside story.

That's way too much fear!

However, this also shows that the city government definitely knows some secret about this store, and that secret is extremely terrifying!

"Furthermore, regarding the Zhou family, that person wasn't scared away by those old guys from the Zhou family; rather, they almost wiped out the entire Zhou family, forcing them to submit..." the old man said slowly, his eyes revealing an extremely deep light, tinged with a hint of coldness.

"this!"

The burly middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his momentum nearly overturning the stone table. He was utterly shocked and almost speechless.

One person suppresses an entire clan?!

How is this possible?!

Although the Zhou family ranks last among the five major families, it is still one of them. The fact that it has not been kicked out of the five major families for so many years and has always been at the bottom shows that its strength is extraordinary.

The old man frowned slightly upon seeing his actions, glanced at the teacup beside him where large ripples were forming, and said in a low voice, "Sit down."

The burly middle-aged man realized his lapse in composure, his expression changed slightly, and he sat down obediently, asking, "Father, is this news accurate? If it's true, then this person must be at the peak of the titled level, or even... a legend?"

His voice trembled slightly when he said the last two words.

legend……

Throughout the entire Asian continent, across dozens of base cities, there are only two such individuals!

Any legendary figure could shake the entire Asian continent with a stomp of their foot. Would such a person be in their Longjiang base city? In that small shop?!

He dared not think any further.

"No need to overthink it, just wait and see." The old man glanced at him, uttered eight words, and then closed his eyes again.

……

News spread from the Zhou family mansion, circulating among the major families and elite circles. These news reports varied, and as more and more were circulated, they gradually changed in meaning. Some exaggerated, some distorted the situation, and some described the battle on the spot in vivid detail, but they all sounded unbelievable and seemed fake.

The specific and accurate information is known only to the top leaders of each major family.

However, this intelligence was strictly blocked by the Zhou family. They are still digging deeper and only know that the Zhou family suffered considerable losses and that the attackers were related to that pet shop.

Regardless, this pet shop has been labeled as "difficult to deal with" and "dangerous" by various forces.

……

Inside the Little Rascal store.

Su Ping called out to Joanna, inviting her to accompany him on a trip to the Cultivation World.

After all, it was a new skill. Joanna was much more knowledgeable and experienced than him. With her by his side, she could offer advice and analyze things for him.

The chosen cultivation world was a random, unmanned, rudimentary cultivation world, with an entrance fee of only 1 point of energy.

This is a desolate, uninhabited planet. Standing on it, you can see other planets of different sizes nearby, as well as the vast universe.

However, Su Ping had no idea which star system this planet was in.

Joanna looked around. Every time she came to an unfamiliar nurturing world, she always hoped to sense the aura of her homeland, the land of fallen demigods, so that she could locate herself.

But each attempt was in vain.

The cultivation worlds that Su Ping chose seemed to be spread all over the world, and for the first time, she realized that this world was so vast, apart from the Central Divine Realm where she was located.

Su Ping summoned a small skeleton.

The little skeleton stood beside Su Ping, looking up at him.

Su Ping smiled slightly, patted its head, and let it go first to unleash the legendary skill it had just acquired.

The little skeleton was very obedient. It nodded its head, and in a flash, it appeared hundreds of meters away, standing in mid-air.

Joanna also turned her gaze back to the little skeleton. She had come into contact with this undead pet many times during this period and could sense that it was not an ordinary low-level skeleton, but a skeleton creature with an extremely rare and noble bloodline.

Soon, dark energy surged from the little skeleton's body, and clumps of demonic energy billowed. With a low roar, the little skeleton suddenly burst into intense demonic flames. Behind these flames, the huge phantom of the Skeleton King faintly appeared, looking down at the earth from mid-air.

At the same time, the ghostly figure of the Skeleton King made the same gesture as the little skeleton, clasping his hands together and then slowly pulling them apart.

It was as if an invisible crack in the door had been pried open.

The void suddenly collapsed, revealing an unfathomable crack. In an instant, the light in the surrounding world dimmed considerably, and a chilling aura of the dead surged forth. Faint groans and howls of ghosts could be heard around us, not through hearing, but through our minds.

The void rift grew larger and larger until it was completely torn apart by the Skeleton King's phantom.

A large, thick cloud of black mist suddenly surged out from within!

Standing next to Su Ping, Joanna's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in horror, "This is... the World of Asura Souls!!"

Su Ping was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Huh?"

Joanna was enveloped in golden light, her face showing an extremely solemn expression, as if she were ready to fight at any moment—this was her instinctive self-protection.

Although Su Ping had told her that it wouldn't matter if she died in this nurturing world, she had never died in a nurturing world before and dared not try it lightly.

Su Ping was somewhat surprised by Joanna's actions, not expecting that even she would feel pressured by the Little Skeleton skill.

However, he also sensed something different. The void rift in front of him did not seem to be a simple skill, but a spatial portal. Behind the rift was a certain world!

"The World of Asura Souls..." Su Ping murmured, wondering if he could find this place in the cultivation list.

At this moment, the black mist emerging from the Gate of the Dead suddenly solidified, transforming into black monsters emanating intense Asura demonic energy behind and beneath the little skeleton's feet. Some had eight wings, resembling demonic angels, while others were covered in grotesque claws and sharp blades, forming ferocious blobs of flesh.

Each monster, formed from dark demonic energy, exudes an aura of extreme violence.

Looking at the little skeleton standing in front of the void rift, surrounded by numerous demons, Su Ping suddenly had a feeling that it seemed to have become the king among these demons.

It's like... a demon lord!

Lord of all demons!

"Want to spar a bit?" Su Ping turned to look at Joanna.

Joanna immediately turned her head, her eyes widening slightly, clearly somewhat angry.

Let's exchange a few blows?

So you brought me in here just to be your sparring partner?

"It's alright, you're so strong. Besides, even if you die, you won't really die," Su Ping comforted him.

Joanna gritted her teeth.

"Go then! A mere low-level Asura? Do you think I'm afraid of that?"

With a cold snort, Joanna's body radiated golden light, and a dazzling golden lightning bolt condensed in her palm, rapidly solidifying into the divine spear that had nearly taken Yuan Tianchen's life.

"Since it's okay to die here, don't blame me..." Joanna sneered before making her move.

Su Ping smiled and gave the order to the little skeleton: "Attack."

The little skeleton tilted its head, slightly puzzled, but still obeyed Su Ping's words. The next moment, countless demonic shadows around its body rushed towards Joanna.

In an instant, a terrifying war erupted on this desolate planet that had been silent for countless years.

Golden light and demonic energy mingled, causing the ground to crack and explode, accompanied by the roars of demons.

The battle lasted for five minutes and ended quickly. The little skeleton was shattered by Joanna's shot, its bones turning to dust. It barely managed to revive by relying on the "Rebirth" skill, but most of its energy was depleted. If it died a few more times like this, it would really die!

However, even if it truly dies, Su Ping can revive it in this nurturing world.

It's too late to write this now, that's all for today. I'll continue tomorrow.
