Chapter 423 The Golden Demon Cat And The Mysterious Mage



Roughly seven hours earlier;

The city of Dongyi, Jin Province, Phoenix Empire

A portal opened up in the middle of the city ruled by the Jin Clan (not to be confused with the Ji Clan), and Mark walked out of it wearing black robes, covered his head with a hood, and his face with a blank mask so that no one will recognize him in any unexpected situations like these.

Luckily for him, despite the fact that people are still roaming in the streets, it was dim due to the high distance between each lamppost on the street.

It was just 15 minutes away from midnight and there was no way, any kind of store or restaurant will be opened here in any kingdom. Even pubs will be closed now. Only two businesses are active at night. One is the hotel business and the other is the brothel.

Mark couldn't help but wonder what they were doing. At first, he wanted to stop someone and ask but then as his attire itself is suspicious enough, he didn't bother to do it and looked for a dark alley.

There, he equipped himself with the exo skeleton suit and just look for the academy from the skies. As far as he knows, the Phoenix Academy spreads over 200 acres of land and had a 50-meter large statue of a phoenix built in the academy.

With his night vision, he had no problems searching in darkness. All it needs is time to locate it. Mark felt like he had plenty of it. But, to make this faster, he activated invisibility and followed a civilian with decent luck points for a while until she was alone, knocking her out with a taser gun he purchased from the store and dragging her to a dark alley.

Since he had to absorb 3 luck points and he needed 90 seconds of time while he only had 30 seconds of invisibility, he was forced to act in such a way.

Once his luck points were maximized, Mark was about to fly into the sky and quickly search for the academy and the princess sleeping somewhere in the dorm before his temporary luck runs out.

Before the timeline, he somehow had luck in the random direction he picked earlier and found the academy entrance.

And just as he was about to look for the girl's dormitory, he saw a girl with icy wings go past the high walls of the academy and then landed outside the academy while carrying another girl.

"Lucky…" 

Mark grinned taking out Taser Gun as he flew in the direction of his target. Of course, this wasn't the same Taser gun he used against the civilian. This one was a transformation of the divine throne.

For the past couple of hours, Mark has done experiments on the divine throne after getting to know that a divine-grade weapon could also use other attribute attacks than its own.

He realized that he could actually use all of the attributes from lightning to anti-matter through the divine-grade weapon.

However, the task wasn't easier by any means, especially for the guy who completely depended on the system-provided skills until now.

After training for two hours, under Allen's guidance, Mark finally managed to release an electric shock through the weapon. 

Whether it is a sword or a spaceship, the outcome doesn't change but Mark chose the form of a taser gun to ambush his sister from behind. The other girl tried to save Shang Jiao by attacking Mark but the latter needed evidence about the abduction.

Hence, he left her unharmed and just grabbed his sister before flying away at his maximum speed.

The zheng received the order through their telepathic connection from a long distance. He went to the imperial palace while partially hiding his public identity by covering his face from the nose. It was how the soldier recognized him as a middle-aged fellow.

Now, back to the present, the night passed away and the morning of the next day arrived. Shang Jiao found herself trapped in a house surrounded by four giant beasts and one far away coiled around a mountain.

Emperor Shang lost his sleep. He couldn't help but just walk left to right for the past few hours while his wife and son were on their way to Mt. Lan on the giant flying stingray. 

The gold dragon set off to Western Yan at dawn and successfully reached the palace, where he was greatly welcomed by Feng Wu and the others.

Meanwhile, some of the influential beings of the Empire like the elders of the sects and a few heads of the major clans reached the Imperial City.

Everything is going just as Mark wanted it to go. He was waiting for his father's army to strike Western Yan with full force.

***

While the Phoenix Empire was in the middle of unfolding a huge event, far away from the world, realms above the mortal plane, another plot was started in the undying lands.

Undying lands aren't the name of a place or a world.

It was the largest region with thousands of worlds in the immortal plane where the strongest beasts in the universe exist.

One of those worlds was the realm of Grima and its ruler is named Golden Demon Cat.

In the courtroom of the majestic golden palace, a little blonde girl with cat ears was sitting on the throne as she looked at her generals and the officials.

All of these officials just looked like little girls and boys with animal ears and whiskers. If Mark would witness the scene, he would definitely think that they are cosplaying various feline creatures like cats, lions, tigers, etc... 

They looked cute even with their serious-looking expressions. 

Anan Spencer, the golden kitten certainly doesn't share such traits as he looks like a complete human when he transforms. Maybe, it is the environment of the earth. Who knows…

The Queen was addressing her subordinates with full of excitement. "With the surrender of Amphia, we have finally won the war with them, and from now onwards, the felines will have complete domination over those Canines."

"All hail the Queen" "All hail the Queen" "All hail the Queen"

As the creatures were hailing their queen, a portal was opened up in the middle of the court and an old man with a beard touching the floor stepped out of it.

The place became silent and everyone turned wary of the human mage.

The Queen, who was filled with excitement, became serious. Naturally, she was displeased by this fellow's actions.

"What are you doing here, interrupting us like this without my permission, Dungeon Master Yan?" asked the Queen.

The old man let out a toothless grin where a few teeth are absent for some reason. He replied, "Well, to congratulate your victory over your archenemies, I'm here with a present."

"What kind of present?" The Golden Demon Cat's expression didn't change a bit. She was still frowning. "Did you trap my enemies in a dungeon or something?"

The old man shook his head and spoke, "The heir has been found, Your Majesty."

The Queen stood up from her throne in full of shock and the entire courtroom was filled with murmurings. "Where? Where did you find my grandchild, Yan Luo?"

"Diqiu world of the mortal plane," replied the mage while laughing inwardly, "hahahaha, Yuqiang, you might have hid the person but it wouldn't matter. I will erase that entire world from existence after taking these cats take you out of my way. Once the Chaos Lord revives, the gods shall fall."
