Chapter 353: The Day of Selection Had Arrived
Outside the ownerless city.
A group of people was walking into the city.
“Sir, the strongest… Oh, no, it’s the Watcher. The Watcher that I know had a conflict with the strongest person that we’re going to visit. Should I hide first?”
Jeremy said to a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance who was wearing a gray robe.
“No need.”
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, then said this.
The middle-aged man was the person whom Joelson had been pretending to be.
In order to avoid alerting the Watchers in advance, Joelson had used a sixth-stage aura-style magic, the transformation technique.
However, given Joelson’s current aura-style laws, he had already mastered the power of five arcane truths.
Unless the other party’s level of understanding of the arcane truths surpassed Joelson’s, it would be impossible for him to see through his disguise.
In other words, only those who had mastered six arcane truths would be able to recognize that he was Joelson. However, those who had mastered six arcane truths had all reached the highgod level.
After all, not everyone had such an abnormal talent as Joelson.
He wasn’t afraid of the Watchers. With his current strength, he didn’t even need to summon a dragon to defeat the Watchers.
However, he had a bigger plan.
Before, he was just preparing to leave the Land of Slaughter, but now he had returned to the Land of Slaughter.
Of course, he could not leave so easily. He wanted to leave a surprise for Augustellan.
Not long after, Joelson and the others arrived at a palace in the ownerless city.
The appearance of the palace was very luxurious, completely inconsistent with the chaos of the ownerless city.
Moreover, the current ownerless city was far less chaotic than what Joelson had seen in the past.
Joelson had some doubts in his heart.
Walking in from outside the city, although there were people fighting with each other, they actually didn’t see the situation of killing each other.
It seemed that after he left, the strongest people in the ownerless city had set stricter new rules for this chaotic city.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
“You captured all of them and Jeremy?”
The guard in front of the palace, seeing his own people return together with Jeremy, asked with a surprised look on his face.
Jeremy was one of the subordinates of the enemy’s most powerful expert. When the two sides had fought, he had seen Jeremy before.
He knew that Jeremy had the power of a demigod, which was why he was rather surprised.
At this moment, the demigod who was acquainted with the most powerful expert walked up and spoke a few words to the guard.
The guard revealed a strange look. He glanced at the others and said, “You, Jeremy, and he can enter. The others can only stay outside.”
Jeremy didn’t find this strange. The most powerful expert naturally wasn’t someone that anyone could meet just because they wanted to.
The demigod and Jeremy gave an inquisitive look to Joelson.
Joelson nodded slightly.
Then, the three of them entered the palace.
The palace was extremely luxurious. It was almost comparable to the Imperial Palace of the Inmotadi Empire in the central continent.
To build such a palace in such a barren place like the Land of Slaughter, Joelson could imagine how many people the most powerful expert here had plundered.
More than ten demigods stood on both sides of the palace. When they saw the three of them enter, they immediately turned their gazes over.
At the very top, there was a beautiful throne, and atop it sat a youth. Clearly, he was the most powerful expert here.
“Hardy, well done!”
The most powerful expert, upon seeing the deity domain and Jeremy, revealed a look of delight as he spoke.
Jeremy had killed quite a few of their people. Now that he had been captured by Hardy and the others, he naturally wouldn’t let them off.
As he spoke, he stood up. He wanted to personally end Jeremy.
“Terance! He isn’t…”
Jeremy and Hardy became anxious. Hardy was about to explain when he saw Terance, the strongest person, stiffening his movements. He was frozen on the spot like a statue. There was even a terrified expression on his face.
The two followed Terance’s gaze and looked over.
It was Joelson!
He had already deactivated his transformation spell and regained his handsome face.
“You… You are actually still alive?”
Terance cried out in astonishment.
Before he had become the most powerful expert, the scene of the previous most powerful experts wantonly killing in the Land of Slaughter was still clearly remembered. At that time, he had been one of the people being hunted down.
And all of this was because of this man in front of him!
In the past, it was rumored that the most powerful experts had hunted down all of the demigods in the Land of Slaughter in order to help this man advance to the god level.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that the overseer had released the news that they had been killed, he wouldn’t have dared to appear in the Land of Slaughter.
Not to mention becoming the most powerful expert!
But he actually didn’t die?
Terance was so frightened by this scene that he stood there in a daze.
“Terance, Lord Joelson wasn’t killed by the overseer. Instead, it was Lord Joelson who killed a clone of the overseer and then escaped.”
Hardy hurriedly warned, afraid that Terance had grown too powerful and would do something that would anger Joelson.
Only after hearing Hardy’s warning did Terence come back to his senses, his heart filled with astonishment.
Joelson had actually been able to escape from the Watcher, and had even killed a Watcher’s clone!
This was simply too unbelievable!
One had to know that the Watcher had the power of a God at the very least!
Thinking of this, Terance hurriedly lowered his head and bowed, then said, “I didn’t know that Lord Joelson had come! Otherwise, I would definitely have gone out to welcome him.”
Joelson nodded slightly.
Afterward, Hardy and Jeremy explained the situation to Terance, as well as the fact that the watchman had disguised himself as the most powerful expert and was hiding in the ownerless city.
After hearing the two’s words, a lingering fear rose in Terance’s heart, and he couldn’t help but tremble.
At the same time, he also thought about how, in this sort of situation where he had been suddenly attacked from the back, he had been able to kill the Watcher and escape.
Although what Joelson had revealed was only the power of an early-stage demigod, his true power had most likely reached that of a god!
Terance’s gaze towards Joelson grew even more respectful.
“Do you have a scroll that can guide you through the endless planes?”
Joelson asked. This was the reason he had come here.
Terance was stunned for a moment, then said, “If your excellency is referring to the planar map, I don’t have it.”
After thinking for a moment, he continued, “In the past, the most powerful experts might have it in their hands, but after your excellency’s escape, the overseers searched the Land of Slaughter once. Right now, in the entire Land of Slaughter, probably only the overseers have a planar map.”
Joelson’s expression was calm, but he was not too disappointed.
He thought to himself, ‘Looks like I’ll have to wait until the next screening day to kill the Watchers to get the plane map.’
Joelson asked, “How many days will the next screening day be?”
Terance gave him a strange look and said, “Sir, the Selection Day is…”
Buzz!
Just as Terance was speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.
The black and golden Sun in the sky slowly began to rotate.
“The Selection Day is today!”
