Five days later;
Early in the morning, as soon as he woke up, Mark opened the Space station panel to spy on his targets.
"Activate, Third Eye."
*Ding! Need the na and other details, the better the details, the less ti is taken.
"Biological mother" A simple word escaped Mark's mouth in response.
*Ding! Checking the registered list
*Ding! Found the details. Third Eye is activated.
Half a minute later, a new holographic window was opened before his eyes, displaying a map of the Dragon Empire where the icon with the image of his mom moved around.
"It looks like she is still there with her husband, touring the places," mumbled Mark, closing down the window. There was this slight disappointnt on his face, not sure what else he was expecting.
30 seconds of waiting was enough to recover his 25% consud ether energy due to the passive skill of ether regeneration, which rapidly increased his recovery rate to the extent that he only needed 70 seconds to recover 100% of his ether energy, and not to ntion, there was no cooldown ti period for the skill, Mark went on searching other people he was acquainted, one after another.
First, he checked on the location of Jas, who is still at Baize Empire but in a moving position similar to her mother, indicating that he was roaming around.
Then, he checked Shang Jiao, who was at his private island and in a still position, probably sleeping.
"Hmm… Ouyang Zen also seems to be sleeping."
"Lan Jing, my granduncle isn't with the kid. What was he doing at the Dragon Empire? Is he eting Lan Jingyi or sothing? In that case, I cannot trust him. I should pay more attention."
"Hmm… who else…"
"Oh, Shang Jun is also not at the palace. He is still in the imperial city but in the Herald district. It is a residential district for the nobles though. Who could he et at such a ti? Don't tell he was actually…"
"Bai Xun at his residence" "Shang Wei is also at the palace" "Shang Wen cannot be found. I wonder which plane of existence he left for. Only that trash father of mine knows…"
"What about Fu Sheng? Okay, he is with Jas."
"What about Shang Zexi?"
"Ugh… I think he was on the way to et . I have already told him that I will supply the weapons in a week, based on his budget. Why was he in a hurry? Not to ntion, he didn't bother sending a ssage first and plans to surprise with a visit."
"Anyway, let's forget about him and look for soone else… who… Hmm… that auction girl… what's her na again… Xin Rui. Let's see where she lives. Maybe, I can visit her to talk about our plan to ruin the Dragon Empire.
Eh? She isn't in the city. It is a mountainous location. Is she living in seclusion or is it the Void Temple? Who is there? I don't know the nas but there are demigods living there, right?
If I just give the input like… demi… gods…"
As he was thinking, sothing clicked inside Mark's head. His eyes lit up in realization and he slapped his forehead, "idiot. Why didn't you think of it before?"
Mark activated the third eye for the nth ti.
As the system prompt arrived, asking him about giving the input, Mark spoke, "Na: Unknown. Appearance: unknown. Cultivation realm: Demigod/10-circle. Search…"
After two minutes of searching, the system gave him the results, mapping various locations but without any images of the people.
"Seven demigods at the Dragon Empire? Six of them are in imperial city at the mont? What the heck is going on there?" Mark sprung up to his feet, getting down the bed in surprise.
He was aware of four demigods who were there at the Dragon Empire. One is the Tang Clan's ancestor. One is the Void Temple's Matriarch. One is the Dragon Emperor. And the fourth one is his mom. But, where did the other three co from?
"The Coronation ceremony must have already been over. Even if there were demigods in guest rooms at the auction and attended it, shouldn't they have left by now? Why did they extend their visit?" Mark couldn't help but ponder on this unusual situation.
Almost 16 hours later, in the Dragon Empire;
The new Emperor was in the presence of six emperors; he might be sitting on the highest seat in the room but he never felt as insignificant as he was now as an observer.
With the Tang Dynasty's founder absent from the eting, Emperor Tang was nervous as hell, feeling like one wrong comnt might lose his life. Not to ntion, every demigod present is a beast. He could only watch the discussion unfolding before him, or more like an argunt.
"Look, our world may have fewer demigods, but that doesn't an you can just co here to do whatever you want. Okay?" The Beast Empire's Werewolf Lord was all blazing at the outsiders.
One demigod with three horns on his head made a counterargunt, "Aren't you soone from the higher realm too? Whose permission did you take to settle down here?"
"There is no restriction of world laws on our bodies, Yanlong," The Dragon Emperor of the Bloodhill forest made a counterargunt. She further added, "it clearly indicates that the world spirit accept us as its children. You people, on the other hand, don't hold such privilege. Stop grouping us together."
"Whatever." A demigod with the head of a male lion brushed her off. "Her Majesty's orders are absolute. We cannot leave without his highness. If you don't cooperate, your world will be dood in the end and not even Yu Jiang will be able to save you."
The Werewolf Lord raised his eyebrow. He looked displeased by the other party's comnts, "Oh, yeah? Try us. I too want to see how your queen dares to go against the decree of the heavenly palace."
"You really don't care about the consequences," the last demigod also joined the argunt with a more sensible comnt. "Do you think it is worthy to form enmity with the Feline Dynasty over such harmless investigation?"
The Werewolf Lord replied sternly, "I believe I have made myself clear. If you want to get back your young master, we will search and handover him to you. You are not permitted to explore our world. The world has enough demigods as it is. We won't give a way to any demigod to make this place their ho."
"Please, who would want this dump yard, full of those parasites (human race)," scoffed the three-horned demigod.
"Those parasites gave the ho, Niu Mowang." A voice was heard in the surroundings, startling them.
The door was opened and a figure walked into the courtroom. Everyone got up from their seats involuntarily, including even the Emperor.
The sickly-looking pale boy slowly walked toward them. Every ti he makes a step, the still air around him swirls around. The natural energy in the surroundings automatically absorbs into his body.
Emperor Tang was relieved by the presence of the new demigod. The other realm demigod beasts, on the other hand, felt invisible pressure on their bodies as they watched the boy walking toward them.
*Cough* Cough*
As he coughed like a sick person, the rest of the demigods felt like their eardrums exploded. The Emperor was fine for so reason.
The Werewolf Lord and the Dragon Emperor had a look of worry on their faces. The forr spoke, "Brother Tang, why did you leave? We will handle the situation here. You go and rest."
The pale boy forced out a weak smile, "I'm fine. There's sothing important I need to speak about." *Cough*
Tang Yifan hurriedly ca down to help his ancestor. He slowly escorted him to the throne, requesting him sit on it while he stood beside like so servant.
Taking the seat, the pale boy spoke to the demigods, "Your young master is with a human, who ford a contract with a powerful demon king from netherworld. Even if the three of you work together, you will have a zero chance of success. The human also possessed a power that I'm incapable of understanding either." *Cough* Cough* "I urge you to leave and tell your Queen to wait in patience.
We will deliver your young master to the doorstep."
"You know that's…" As the lion head demigod was about to argue, this ti, he was stopped by his comrade, the one who looked the most human out of the three, the wise demigod with whiskers on his cheeks, "Since you gave your word, we will accept." He said to the Tang Clan's founder.
They didn't stay there anymore and once they left, the boy coughed once again. The Werewolf Lord and the Dragon Emperor hurriedly grabbed him and inserted their energy into his body.
As his condition stabilized a bit, the Werewolf scolded him, "What could be so important that you have to co out from your domain?"
The Tang Dynasty founder answered weakly, "I found my cure, Brother."
"Where?" Both the demigods reacted strongly.
The forr emperor explained, "Both of you are aware that the Orb of Elents has long fused with my soul and we ended up in this world, because of the fact that the Orb of Life is sealed here. My cure needs another cosmic orb to balance the power of the Elental Orb in my body. However, we missed the fact that there is another cosmic orb here."
"A third orb?" The demigods cast a sidelong glance at each other. anwhile, Tang Yifan wondered, "cosmic orbs? What are those?"
Tang founder continued to explain, "A while ago, during the ti of the auction, I sensed its presence. It was just for a fraction of a second but I have managed to confirm its existence. All these days, I was busy tracing its location. Since it was sealed in its host, it was tough for to locate it. But, every fortnight, during the noon here, it stayed active for a couple of monts.
I have now traced it to Western Moon.
The problem is that our target quite possibly is an acquaintance of that human. See if you can solve this without causing any bloodshed. In the event violence cannot be put to rest, I will stop that immortal demon and his master for a while. In the anti, I need the two of you to bring her to the sanctum and extract the power."
