Chapter 194: Good Brothers Should Overeat Together!

At that moment, a maid approached the queen, bowing respectfully, "My queen, everything has been handled. We can evacuate now."The queen nodded, "Then let's go."

Shortly thereafter, the queen, her guards, and three Ascendant Faction squads quietly left, heading to another underground city. The other residents of the Ascendant Faction were abandoned there.

Among those evacuating were Yun Qi, Zhao Sheng, and Ma Nanshan. Yun Qi, looking back at the underground city where he had lived for over a decade, couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Sheng commented calmly, "Captain, I remember you had the same expression when we evacuated from Dawn City last time."

Yun Qi gave a bitter smile. It was hard to accept. "People are made of flesh and blood."

He sighed, "I know their memories are backed up by the queen and can be regenerated in the new underground city with sufficient resources, but still..."

Ma Nanshan patted his shoulder, "Captain Yun, life is full of departures and farewells. I've experienced this many times on Pegasus Star."

"Not to mention the tyrannical Golden Horse Empire on Pegasus Star, which killed my father, two uncles, my older brother, my second brother..." Ma Nanshan said determinedly, "As long as we maintain a vengeful heart, we can rise again! The sacrifices made by the Ascendant Faction today will be repaid a hundredfold on the Slaughter Faction tomorrow!"

Yun Qi shivered, "What happened to the royal family of the Golden Horse Empire?"

Ma Nanshan waved his hand, "Of course, I wiped them out. That cruel and unjust royal family deserved to die! The Golden Horse Empire is now gone, broken into several federations."

Suddenly remembering something, Ma Nanshan quickly asked, "Captain Yun, you said you're also from Pegasus Star, what did you used to do?"

Yun Qi coughed, "I was..."

Zhao Sheng glanced at him and took over, "Captain Yun used to be part of a small merchant family in the Golden Horse Empire, dealing in horses."

Ma Nanshan was surprised and promptly gave a thumbs up, "Dealing in horses? That's a big business! And what about you, Zhao Sheng?"

Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, "I... dealt in horse feed."

Ma Nanshan clicked his tongue in admiration, "Both of you come from good families! Not like me, starting life as a prisoner's son."

Yun Qi and Zhao Sheng exchanged a look and silently shut their mouths. Perhaps it was best not to discuss Pegasus Star with Ma Nanshan anymore. The more they said, the more mistakes could be made.

Yun Qi smacked his lips, thankful he was just an easy-going minor prince of the Golden Horse Empire and not a direct royal. Otherwise, considering Ma Nanshan's recent remark, they might have ended up in a serious disagreement.

"By the way... why are we evacuating this time?" Ma Nanshan scratched his head. "I was just eating when suddenly we had to leave."

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Zhao Sheng replied calmly, "A scout from the Slaughter Faction discovered the City of Light. He is under the command of the Black Crow Spectre King. Without a doubt, the Black Crow Spectre King and his spectre followers must be on their way to the City of Light now."

Ma Nanshan nodded in realization, "Then it's definitely time to run."

Although he had only recently arrived at the City of Light, he understood that the Ascendant Faction was no match for the Slaughter Faction in terms of power. Retreating was clearly the best strategy for the moment.

On the surface, Chu Xuan and Two Arms were idly wandering when they suddenly noticed a large, dark cloud approaching from the distance. Upon closer inspection, this was no ordinary cloud but a massive swarm of spirits! Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.



The leader of the spirits, notably larger and more menacing than the others, originally headed east but shifted course upon spotting Chu Xuan and Two Arms.

The leading spirit's eyes lit up, and it immediately led its followers straight towards Chu Xuan. Two Arms exclaimed with excitement, "Father, judging by its size, that leading spirit must be a Spectre King!"

Chu Xuan's interest was piqued. A Spectre King, a being second only to the Great Spectre King, was roughly equivalent to the soul level of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. If Two Arms could devour one, his level might surge significantly.

"It seems the Ghost King foretold by your divination came true," Chu Xuan said with a smile, his spirit bolstered.

At that moment, the swarm of ghostly spirits, like locusts, rapidly closed in. The leading Spectre King cackled loudly, "I never expected to encounter such a substantial soul here. Good! Devouring you will allow me to ascend to a third-level Spectre King!"

"My minions, attack!" commanded the Spectre King, waving his hand.

The horde of spirits swarmed forward, seemingly intent on tearing Chu Xuan to shreds instantly. Facing the overwhelming assault, Chu Xuan simply smiled faintly. His consciousness suddenly coalesced into a Spiraling Devour.

Whirring!

The invisible spiral drilled forward, instantly shredding all spirits in its path. Their souls were quickly absorbed by the spiral, nourishing Chu Xuan's own spirit. The influx of cold, foreign souls gave him an almost ethereal sensation.

He clicked his tongue in amazement. The Spiraling Devour was truly formidable, an undervalued mid-level soul technique. If he had to rate it, Chu Xuan would consider it the strongest technique just below the high-level soul techniques.

Seeing this, the Ghost King's expression darkened. "How do you know this technique? Are you also a Spectre King from our Slaughter Faction? I am the Black Crow Spectre King!" he declared. "Who are you? State your name!"

Chu Xuan chuckled dismissively and casually said, "Two Arms, he's yours."

Two Arms grinned broadly, "Got it!" He immediately lunged towards the Black Crow Spectre King, his soul body swelling rapidly during the charge. In the blink of an eye, he matched the Black Crow Spectre King in stature.

The Black Crow Spectre King's eyes widened in shock. Two Spectre Kings?! He quickly deployed a defensive soul technique, forming hard walls around him. He shouted, "We are both Spectre Kings of the Slaughter Faction! There's no need to fight! We are all children of the Great Slaughter King!"

Two Arms chuckled sinisterly, "My father and I are not children of any Great Slaughter King. You've got the wrong idea." He flung his divination plate, which instantly expanded and hurtled towards the Black Crow Spectre King.

Bang!

The first strike shattered one of the walls. The second not only broke through another wall but also punched a massive hole in the Black Crow Spectre King's chest. The third blow smashed him into pieces.

The remnants of the Black Crow Spectre King tried to flee, but the spoon on the divination plate flew out and pinned him to the ground on the spot.

As Two Arms loomed closer, mouth agape, the Black Crow Spectre King screamed in terror, "Don't... don't come any closer!"



Howl!

With one gulp, Two Arms swallowed him whole. He methodically devoured the remaining parts of the Black Crow Spectre King, leaving nothing behind in mere moments.

Chu Xuan scanned with his spiritual sense and noticed that Two Arms was showing signs of advancing to a Ghost King. He nodded in satisfaction, gathered Two Arms, and returned to the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array, throwing him back into it.

Four Arms cried tears of joy.

Finally, someone to share the burden of eating. Good brothers should overeat together!
