What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Judging from his previous performance, Xiao Yan is not only talented but also quick-witted, making him a good candidate for the Earthly Fiend position.

Yang Xi planned to send out thirty-six Earthly Fiend Masks in the Southern Continent, and these oppressed compatriots were his first priority.

This is a win-win situation. The welfare system of the Judgment Organization can help these compatriots living in dire straits grow up quickly, and they can also form the Judgment's intelligence network in the Southern Continent.

Yang Xi even planned to make the Osiders also become Earthly Fiends in the Judgment Organization. If there are traitors among humans, why can't the Osiders be included?

Intelligent species always have individuals who seek advantage and avoid harm, and Yang Xi has plenty of ways to bewitch these Osiders.

He patted the boy's body, instantly stripped him of his superpower, copied it inside his body, and then put it back in.

"The Three Thousand Thunderclaps, a power from the inheritance system? Not bad at all!"

Yang Xi's collection of supernatural abilities has gained another item.

Compared to Yang Xi's nonchalant expression, Xiao Yan was somewhat taken aback. For a fleeting moment, he seemed to have the illusion that his superpower had disappeared.

But after sensing it again, he found that the ability was still there, which relieved Xiao Yan. The Three Thousand Thunderclap, a inherited ability, was his means of survival.

Yang Xi asked Xiao Yan a few more questions, wanting to understand the current situation of the Southern Continent from his perspective, when the Keith family's butler arrived.

"Young Master, the clan chief is looking for you."

An elderly man with a pure white beard appeared in front of Yang Xi and bowed slightly.

Yang Xi nodded, and after making arrangements for Xiao Yan, he went to the study of Duran's biological father, Walker Kings.

This is a middle-aged man with neat short hair, thin lips, and a neatly trimmed beard. He is intently maintaining an alchemical suit of armor.

This armor is said to be a relic of Duran's grandfather, which was later given to Walker. It saved him many times. Now it is mostly damaged, with only some incomplete matrices remaining, but it is of great commemorative significance.

Sometimes, this full-body metal armor, standing against the wall, seems to possess a soul, watching over the entire Keith family.

Walker's life story is quite legendary.

When he was young, he descended to the Blue Star Plane with the old patriarch of the Keith family.

Like many other families who came to Blue Star to seek their fortune, the Keith family offended a powerful figure in the Osider Plane. Left with no other choice, they moved their entire clan to the native plane to seek development, hoping that a new fourth-tier powerhouse would emerge from their descendants so that they could return to the Osider Plane.

Young Walker displayed extraordinary talent early on. In the turbulent early days of colonization, only the Mercenary Guild and the Beast Alliance existed. Other forces from the Osider Plane plundered, slaughtered, and exterminated their own races on this unfamiliar land.

The old patriarch of the Keith family was a third-tier peak powerhouse, and among the clans that had just entered the Blue Star Plane, he was considered to be one of the top figures.

But even with such strength, they ultimately succumbed to their opponent's schemes, losing not only the territory they had cultivated in the Southern Continent but also halving the entire family's population.

Walker, who had five siblings, could only escape with his younger brother Hood, who was about the same age. His three younger siblings all perished at the hands of the vicious enemy.

However, the pursuit did not stop. As Walker and the remaining members of the Keith family fled, human towns along the way were constantly affected and destroyed. Through trials of blood and tears, Walker finally broke through from the second tier to the third tier and met the White Serpent Sword Master who had just descended to the Blue Star Plane through the Black Cavity.

The two like-minded individuals quickly joined forces and together wiped out their pursuers, surviving the chaotic era until the establishment of the Hundred Cities Federation.

Ultimately, the Keith family, possessing the supernatural abilities of the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon bloodline, established a firm foothold in Bright City. Although there were many twists and turns along the way, the Keith family had become a powerful force in the region.

In Bright City, a major border city, the families that attack the logistics hubs of the Free Alliance's sea area are among the top-ranked.

It should be noted that although the Hundred Cities Federation is called the Hundred Cities Federation, the strength gap between the various city-states under its rule is very large.

Some small cities ranked at the bottom, perhaps even if several of them were combined, would not be as powerful as a single district of a top-ranking city.

Bright City is one of the top cities in the entire Hundred Cities Federation; otherwise, this important four-party meeting would not have been held in Bright City.

Walker, the current patriarch of the Keith family, is a powerful expert at the third-tier limit and one of the most influential people in Bright City.

Walker glanced at Duran a few times, then stood up and gave him a bear hug. "I knew my son, Walker's son, wouldn't die so easily."

"Come, tell me all about what happened on Crimson Frost Island!"

“Yes, Father.” Yang Xi had anticipated Walker’s questions and immediately began to explain: “When I was looking for that Cecil family slut…”

"In the end, Uncle White Snake died in the siege of fourth-level powerhouses. I was probably ignored, which is why I narrowly escaped death."

Yang Xi took out a white scale from his pocket. "Before he left, the city lord instructed me to properly bury Uncle White Snake. I know that you and Uncle White Snake were very close, so I brought this to you specially."

Walker took the snake scale from Yang Xi's hand, stroked it for a while, and then placed it on the desk.

He looked into the distance with a nostalgic expression. "Back when I first met you, Uncle White Snake, we both firmly believed that it wouldn't be long before we became fourth-tier powerhouses and changed our personal and family destinies. But I never expected that we would be stuck at the third-tier limit for so long!"

"Your Uncle White Snake was able to break through to the fourth rank before he died, so he must have had no regrets!"

Yang Xi said, "Father, I believe you will break through to the fourth rank soon!"

Walker shook his head. "The fourth tier is not such a simple matter. But right now, the most important thing is still the position of Lord of Bright City!"

"A four-party meeting was held in Bright City not long after, but no one knows exactly what was discussed. However, it should have been about the deployment of the human counter-offensive. Clearly, this is a shift in the strategic situation of the four forces, and our Keith family has also been asked to join this battle!"

"This time, the main force won't just be those stupid alien beasts!"

"The newly appointed Lord of Bright City will become the commander-in-chief of the new allied forces, and only then will he be qualified to know all the key deployments. We must obtain this position! Otherwise, amidst the turbulent undercurrents, we won't even know how we died!"

"Our Keith family must not repeat the mistakes of years ago!"

Quartet?

Upon hearing this, Yang Xi's gaze sharpened slightly. He was just thinking about how to gather intelligence when his cheap old man delivered the pillow to his head!

However, Yang Xi only needs to know how many fourth-tier participants there are. There are many ways to do this, such as directly reading the memories of people at the Four Directions Conference. Wouldn't that make it easy to obtain information?

383 The Maids Who Were Executed

Of course, Yang Xi didn't intend to miss out on the competition for the city lord. He still had a few slots for controlling puppets. If he could turn the city lord of Bright City, the commander-in-chief of the new coalition, into his puppet, and then give the Oseds a hard time at a crucial moment, that would be the kind of performance that a super spy like Yang should have!

"Father, I have now become a third-tier powerhouse. If there is anything you need me for the city lord competition, just say the word!"

Walker looked at his proud and courageous son, feeling gratified, but reason told him that it was best not to let that brat Duran get involved too much.

However, we shouldn't discourage him. Maybe he'll have learned something from this ordeal.

He patted Duran on the shoulder, "Good son, take a rest for now. When I go to the other families to campaign for votes, I'll definitely take you with me!"

Yang Xi feigned ecstatic joy and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Father!"

Walker suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Xi, "By the way, I heard you were bullying Sherry again?"

Yang Xi said awkwardly, "I'm too busy taking care of her to think about it!"

"Hmph, don't try to argue with me. Shirley just got home and came to me to complain. You even deliberately brought a native slave into the tribe's territory just to bully her?"

"Father, you're innocent! I only brought this slave back because I saw his talent and wanted to contribute to the family's strength. It has nothing to do with that girl Shirley."

"Alright, alright, it's just a matter of a slave anyway. But remember, don't bully Sherry in the future. She's the person closest to you by blood, besides me and your second uncle. The Keith family will depend on the two of you to support it in the future!"

"Go kill that native slave and coax Sherry!"

In the eyes of the Osiders, killing a native of Blue Star was a trivial matter, since their population reproduced so quickly that they could never be completely wiped out.

Upon hearing Walker's words, a murderous intent rose in Yang Xi's heart. Damn otherworldly people!

But he didn't show it; he verbally agreed to it.

Back in his courtyard, to avoid arousing suspicion from the servants, Yang Xi had no choice but to invite the beautiful women to play with him.

Since they're all Osiders anyway, let's just consider it bringing glory to the Blue Star human race!

After holding out for the average duration of Durant's game, Yang Xi put on his clothes and left.

He summoned his white-bearded butler, Humphrey, and asked him with a smile, "How's the matter I asked you to handle?"

Humphrey was Durant's personal butler, and he could be asked to do many things.

Even the women he had just slept with were largely found by Humphrey according to Durant's preferences.

What Yang Xi asked him to do was to use his family's influence to investigate who was attending the Four-Party Conference.

Anyway, he had just expressed to Walker his desire to help the family compete for the position of city lord, so this move was reasonable.

“Young Master Duran, I have investigated and found that there are four fourth-tier powerhouses among the attendees: Ocam, the Platinum Deacon of the Federation; the Arbitrator of the Mercenary Guild; the Amethyst Python of the Beast Alliance; and General Iron Tower from the Benadot Empire.”

Yang Xu popped a grape into his mouth. "Besides these four fourth-tier cultivators, who else is there?"

"There were only four adults present at the time; the others were just slave maids who served these adults."

Yang Xi's eyes lit up. With these maids around, things would be much easier; he could just read their memories directly.

But Humphrey continued, "These maids were all executed after the meeting to keep it a secret."

Yang Xi was stunned. "They were all executed?"

Humphrey was a little puzzled. Wasn't this standard procedure? The young master even asked why.

But he nodded. "Yes, they were all executed, not one was spared. Three of the maids were killed by General Iron Tower himself. He had a penchant for torturing female slaves."

Yang Xi resisted the urge to crush the wine glass in his hand. "Okay, I understand."

Those damned Osiders!!!

Yang Xi waved his hand and said, "Take that slave boy with you, let's go to Shirley's place."

Wearing a black nightgown, Shirley glared at Duran angrily. "What are you doing here again? I'm warning you, if you bully me again, I'll bite you!"

She was just playing with her male lover.

Sherry, who had been humiliated twice by Yang Xi, was actually starting to back down.

Yang Xi was furious at the Oseds' indiscriminate slaughter of the Blue Star people, but disguised as Duran, he could not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Aside from venting his anger on the women Duran had collected, the only way he could relieve his frustration was by causing trouble for his younger cousin.

Incidentally, we should also use Duran's method to save Xiao Yan's life.

Admittedly, Yang Xi could have taken Xiao Yan to the Void Realm Temple to raise him, and then created a soulless body to take his place. However, doing so would not only expose his identity, but would also make it impossible for Xiao Yan to appear in the Southern Continent.

He was the first Earthly Fiend position that Yang Xi planned to set up in the Southern Continent, so it couldn't just end so hastily.

Clang!

With an arrogant smile on his face, Yang Xi drew a gleaming sword!

"My dear sister, how could I dare to cause you trouble? Didn't you still go to see my father today?"

He approached Shirley aggressively.

Shirley's fair feet touched the ground, and she took a step back in fright at Duran. "W-what are you going to do? I just went to tell Uncle the truth!"

"That's right, my dad wanted me to kill this kid for you to liven things up, so here I am!"

Yang Xi suddenly pressed the sword against Xiao Yan's neck.

Feeling the cold and sharp sensation coming from his neck, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. These Osiders really couldn't be trusted!
