Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1066

Chapter 877 – Hiding in Great King City

The obam race was strictly hierarchical and they were accorded different social status according to their bloodline divisions. This was displayed by the color of their skin and the purity of their hair.

IT could be said that from the day an obam was born, their life’s destiny, their achievements and failures, were already decided.

But a chance to change their fate had arrived in front of all the obam within Great King City and the surrounding territories.

If they could find and kill the human who had arranged the array formation at the Little Sweet Mountains, they could marry City Lord Sophia. This was a chance to mix and strengthen their bloodline.

In particular, to those obam that were especially strong but were limited by their bloodline and thus unable to mix into the upper families of the obam race, this was a particularly fatal enticement.

In comparison to that, the position of Great King City’s City Lord wasn’t anything at all. As long as they could produce descendants that had the bloodline of nobles, they would have the opportunity to obtain everything they wanted.

Perhaps hundreds of years in the future or even longer than that, they could continuously marry and rid themselves of their current identity, becoming true nobles of the obam race.

Of course, all of this was under the premise that they married the noble and of pure bloodline City Lord Sophia.

“Brave warriors of the Black Iron Family, we have the most formidable soldiers, immense wealth, and a massive number of slaves. But, we do not possess the status that we should enjoy. Our children will never be able to approach those beautiful noble girls. No matter how outstanding they can only be imprisoned within the small and lonely basement, unable to become eagles that fly in the skies!”

“But now, a chance to change our destiny has appeared. As the Patriarch of the Black Iron Family, the one who wields the highest degree of authority, I vow here to my ancestors that no matter who he is and no matter what his status is, as long as he can kill the human who arranged the array formation then he will become the new Patriarch. And with that new status he will marry City Lord Sophia and become the master who will change the future of the Black Iron Family. He will be forever remembered and worshipped by our future descendants!”

“So tell me. Who among you are willing to bet your life and complete this mission that is doomed to be dangerous, that is doomed to cost the lives of countless obam! Answer me at the top of your lungs!”

“I do!”

“I do!”

“I do!”

The fanatical males of the Black Iron Family released guttural roars, their eyes flooded with endless burning heat.

“If one of you can marry City Lord Sophia and give birth to children with a noble bloodline then our Great Stone Family will truly be able to rise and become a fairytale told throughout the world!”

“And now is the beginning of this new story. I want to know whether the soldiers of my Great Stone Family have the courage and strength to do so!”

“City Lord Sophia will definitely marry into our Great Stone Family!”

“The Great Stone has 10,000 victories! No one can stop us!”

“I will succeed no matter what!”

The Great Stone Patriarch roared, “Then what are you still waiting here for!? Pick up your weapons, leave behind your final will, and go! Go to seek a brighter future for the entire family!”

Similar things happened throughout every region of Great King City. In fact, as news spread out, every obam influence in an increasingly large range began to take action.

Sophia used herself as a weight to drastically move the balance in another direction. Hundreds of thousands, even millions of obam, swarmed towards the Little Sweet Mountains.

They were like a rough and tumbling sea, constantly washing at the coast. No matter how firm the coast was, there was bound to be a day when it was crushed.

The situation at the Little Sweet Mountains entered a violent and frenzied state, going into a situation that no one could control.

On the chaos ship, the Light Guards rushed to repair the damage that was done to the ship during their battle with the Great Dragon Overlord.

Although they had heard long ago how tyrannical and vicious the Great Dragon Overlord was, it was only after directly facing him that they understood his terror.

The Light Guards had dignified expressions. But, there was no fear in their eyes.

As a part of Celestial Retribution they were directly responsible for war. They had already undergone endless slaughter and tempered themselves a formidable heart.

Silent Light sat down, his eyebrows furrowed together. In his battle with the Great Dragon Overlord, while he had caused heavy losses to his opponent in the end, he himself had also been seriously wounded.

“Commander, the Great Dragon Overlord shouldn’t have appeared here, and in our battle he seemed a bit too crazy.” A Light Guard frowned as they spoke. Their voice was clear and pleasant to the ears. Even though they wore a visor that covered their face, one could still vaguely make out the beautiful face behind it.

“Mm, I also think it’s strange. The actions of the Great Dragon Overlord seem to show that he incomparably hates us.” Another Light Guard said from behind. This Light Guard stood tall and straight and his eyes shined with potent confidence.

Silent Light coughed, lifting a hand to prevent the female Light Guard from approaching. After he steadied his breathing he said, “This matter is confidential. But since hundreds of years have passed and now that you have personally battled the Great Dragon Overlord, it should be fine to tell you.”

“Only an extremely small number of obam know how the Great Dragon Overlord is actually able to swallow batwing dragons and complete his own transformation and evolution. You still aren’t qualified to know the exact details, but the root of this matter is related to Celestial Retribution. In the past he should have died without any chance of living, but after experiencing something he managed to survive.”

The two Light Guards gasped out loud. If this was true, then everything could be explained. No wonder the Great Dragon Overlord was so hostile to them.

Silent Light had a calm expression but he sighed inwardly. Just like how he had been dreaming of killing Blue Torrent throughout the years and taking revenge for what happened in the past throughout the years, he feared that this monster now known as the Great Dragon Overlord had been keeping him in mind.

When he had locked onto Blue Torrent and decided to enter the obams’ territory, he had simultaneously become prey for the Great Dragon Overlord.

He was a hunter and also the prey. Then, it was time to see who was wiser and would be the last one smiling.

Silent Light suddenly said, “Wistful Deer, from today onwards you and Silent Kite will leave the chaos ship and enter Great King City. Remember, your goal is to cause chaos. The greater the disturbance the better.”

“Yes, commander!”

An obam white a pale white body led a thin and frail human slave and fled into Great King City.

According to what he said, during the current chaos the territory he had been granted had been raided in a surprise attack by an enemy. Now, it was already occupied.

Pale white skin represented a thin noble bloodline. After verifying his identity and reviewing his token, a brief examination was conducted to confirm that this truly had happened. The head of Great King City’s Public Affairs Division arranged a small residence for this young and fallen nobleman, telling him to wait for news.

Then, nothing happened after that.

For this type of young noble, it was common for their territory to be attacked by others and annexed. During normal times, once a sufficient bribe was given, the Public Affairs Division would send someone out to investigate. They would delay things for a period of time and once they obtained enough benefits they would make a final ruling and order the intruder to retreat.

But now, because City Lord Sophia issued a ‘recruitment order’ and used herself as a reward, most of the members of the Public Affairs Division had asked to leave to return home.

The remaining people simply didn’t have the concentration to focus on work. Moreover, this fallen and pitiful young noble called Bang You had suffered an incident while he was fleeing and lost all his wealth. This made them even more uninterested in helping.

Like this, Bang Tuo was forgotten after being placed in the quiet courtyard.

Because no one lived in the courtyard for many years, it was in a state of disrepair. After driving away the bats in the ceiling and looking through a large hole in the roof, one could see the starry skies and the bright full moon outside.

The dirty young slave washed his face to reveal a young and enchanting appearance. When his sorrowful eyes were added upon the foundation of his incredible beauty, he seemed even more pitiful.

The only thing worth pitying was that this slave was a young boy! Yes, he was male without a chest! The fallen noble Bang Tuo looked away from the moon and glanced at him. He asked, “What is your name?”

“An…An Ke…”

“Mm. Your name is quite good. Then from now on you will follow me and serve me well.” He waved a hoof and said, “Find some dust and wipe your face with it. Don’t you know what you look like? Don’t cause any unnecessary troubles.”

An Ke hurriedly nodded and turned to leave.

While he had no idea why this obam had suddenly become so kind, none of that mattered as long as he survived.

Watching him leave, Bang Tuo let out a light breath. He said, “I never thought that I would meet this boy here again…just consider this as me returning the favor.”

An Ke’s confusion was because this Bang Tuo had long since been switched out. Qin Yu had personally refined the ashes of Bang Tuo and then used them in conjunction with the Blood and Flesh Distortion Art. This way, things went much smoother and it was easy to mix his way into Great King City.

The current Little Sweet Mountains were far too dangerous. The obam had gone crazy, to the point where even the Ascendant Bluegold Array wouldn’t be able to block them for much longer.

The reason was simple. No matter how sharp a knife was, when it cut enough melons and vegetables it would still dull. In the end, things that it could easily cut at the start might even cause the knife to break apart.

Before that happened Qin Yu had to alleviate the pressure on the Ascendant Bluegold Array. If something happened to the Stronghold Master, he would also run out of luck.

As for how to do this, Qin Yu came up with an approximate plan before he entered Great King City. Now that he had entered Great King City and had taken a few walks around, he was even more confident in his plan.

Because right now there was no one in Great King City. All of the obam race experts had rushed into the Little Sweet Mountains to fight with their lives.

There was no tiger in the mountains…at the very least there were no large tigers. Then, with Qin Yu’s current strength, while he couldn’t be called a lord, he was still able to stir up winds and cloud. And more than that, he now had a perfect disguise. As long as he was careful, it was likely no accident would occur.

He lifted a hand and looked towards the City Lord Mansion. While that was the place he was most familiar with, that wasn’t his goal.

One day later, within a great dwelling at Great King City, flames suddenly blazed into the skies. The sound of clenched jaws and curses rang out, “You damned bastard, return the treasures of my family!”

Before the night receded, all of the obams discovered that many properties throughout the city, including those of the Giant Stone Family that was known for its strong financial resources, had a massive amount of their wealth stolen away. And most of the remnants were burnt to ashes in the flames.

What was more terrifying than murder was cutting off a person’s source of income. And what was even more terrifying than cutting off a person’s source of income was having all the wealth they accumulated through hard work being pocketed by others. This sort of pain was hard to imagine without personally experiencing it.

When the Giant Stone Family members who were at the Little Sweet Mountains desperately risking their lives obtained this news they were all left stunned where they stood. After that, they all turned crazy and rushed back home.

What nonsense. The family’s wealth had shrunk drastically, meaning that their strength would inevitably fallen a great deal. If they didn’t hurry back and stabilize the situation they might be swallowed up by others. As for the City Lord…screw it, they might not even be able to preserve their foundation so they would deal with that mess later!
