Chapter 1245: 18.83 First Grey Star - Chaotic Evening II
Most were caught off guard by the barbarian invasion; many deaths were inevitable, and the death toll kept rising as the night grew darker. The Gu Clan suffered a significant loss, and the Lu Clan's situation was not much better, with a hundred barbarians attached to them and most of the other members of the group—aside from the three Heavenly Guardians—dead or dying.
Had it not been for the presence of two god-grade beings, the members of the Lu Clan would have longed to perish at the hands of these barbarians.
The Lu Clan's home appeared to have been struck by a powerful storm; the walls were ruined and had numerous holes in them; the surrounding region had been set on fire; and the open space inside the estate was littered with innumerable human and barbarian corpses.
The alliance of two clans and heavenly guardians destroyed at least half of the hundred barbarians; sadly, most of their hunters had fled with their heirs, and their clan's combat prowess had been severely diminished, especially when they had been surrounded by foes.
The three Heavenly Guardians and the two God-level entities that guard the Lu Family, the Nightmare Beast and the Fire Lion, are the only people remaining on the battlefield after the other clan members had long since fled.
The situation actually does not look good; there are at least thirty barbarians in the region, and in the middle are the exhausted and wounded celestial guards. Lu Wangle even lost an arm during the barbarians' siege.
Mo Xuejing cut Lu Wangle's arm, freezing it. The barbarians were surrounded by fire and ice, preventing the others from getting closer. A few barbarians did, but they were instantly burned and frozen. Mu Zang felt his throat grow hoarse and was resting it for a last blow.
His sound wave attack was particularly powerful, capable of controlling nearly every living thing; sadly, it would not affect the deaf. The barbarians who saw Mu Zang's ability decided to go deaf in order to avoid being affected by his skill.
[I'm sorry. I can't help much. Since it's like this, I can only use soul-based attacks.] Mu Zang wrote in the hands of Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue.
Lu Wangle said, "Are you crazy? No way! The wills of these barbarians are strong. Your backlash would be too much. Don't do it."
[If I don't make an opportunity for you two, how are you going to kill them? It's fine. This is the only way to survive,] said Mu Zang.
The Nightmare Beast said while covered in wounds, {Old Man. You don't know how dangerous an angry master is. He can exterminate a whole race if he is enraged. Don't do it! I don't want to be killed either. I will do it instead.
Kill them immediately as I put them to sleep!}
Mo Xinyue asked, "You're too wounded. Can you still open your domain?"
{I can. I will do it!}
The Nightmare Beast has reverted to his former form, a massive black-furred beast that resembles a hybrid of a black tiger and mermaid tail. His eyes gleamed red as he gazed at all the barbarians, going beyond his limits even though he had to do it in order to survive. His eyes bleed in progress.
Under the gaze of everyone, the barbarians swayed as if drunk, fell to the ground, and finally fell asleep.
The Nightmare Beast knew that his ability had worked and said, {Do it now!} It fainted after completing his duties.
The other four made their way to the crowd and beheaded all the barbarians on sight. There were some who were stacked up, and they couldn't move them to check.
Lu Wangle fell to the ground extremely hard. "Ah, I'm so tired!"
"Don't speak. I will try to reattach your arm. If not, we can only ask Doctor Sen to regenerate one for you," Mo Xinyue said.
Lu Wangle said, "It's just an arm. I can still move even if I only have one. Without it, I can have a reason to retire early. Haha~"
"This fool." Mo Xinyue saw Mu Zang in his deep thoughts and asked the man, "What's wrong? What's with the long face?"
Taking Mo Xinyue's hand, Mu Zang scribbled what he wanted to say, but his voice had become so overused that he was unable to speak anymore. He is also taking care of the Nightmare Beast, who has shrunk and lost consciousness.
[The Barbarian King didn't appear here. There is no way that the King of Barbarians didn't come to this city with this many barbarians entering this place. Where do you think he is?]
Lu Wangle said, "Isn't that king the type to look for the strongest in the battlefield? The royal family is known for their swordsmanship, but compared to us Heavenly Guardians, it is still no comparison. Maybe the king of barbarians didn't come."
"No. There is one that is stronger than us. Maybe two. In the Mo Clan, Lord Chaos is there but no one can feel his existence as long as he doesn't allow one to notice him. But it's not him I am talking about. Just based on strength alone and not age, are there two who are born powerful and can't control their aura." Mo Xinyue said as his face looked distorted upon such thoughts
The Heavenly Guardians' cheeks go pale at the notion of their great-grandchildren, who were born with might that is already greater than that of their great-grandfathers. At first, Mu Zang and Lu Wangle did not comprehend.
Lu Wangle said, "Don't tell me he is heading for the cubs!?"
Mu Zang, who had longed, rose and took to the skies, heading toward the Mo Territory, but fast as they might have flown, the Barbarian King had already arrived there and was executing those who had not managed to flee.

Meanwhile, at the Tower of God...
Then the Second Prince Xingju saw what the evil god next to him had done; a barbarian masquerading as a corpse was about to sneak up on Mu Zang and attack, but the evil god intervened and used the darkness to kill the creature silently and instantly, saving Mu Zang from certain death.
"Why did you do that?" The Second Prince Xingju asked.
{Hm. I haven't seen you and your father fighting for the throne. That's why I did that.}
"What does Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang's death have to do with my revenge?" The Second Prince asked.
{The difference between having a kingdom to rule and not. If Mu Zang dies in this kingdom, do you think that Satan will let you go? That man might be indifferent to life and death, but he is overprotective when it comes to his family. If not for Mu Zang getting his attention, do you think he would personally come into my tower to visit me just to take back his grandfather's voice?
I don't want my game to end because of his interference. That will be no fun.}
"I can't understand why you don't dare to get Ye Jieye involved. He is just a mere hunter," the Second Prince Xingju said.
{Pfft! A mere hunter, is it? That is an existence this world can stop if he feels destroying the world. The only reason he isn't doing so is because his wife and children are still around.}
The Second Prince Xingju was still bewildered, as he hadn't seen the extent of Ye Jieye's abilities and couldn't believe what others were saying about his power.
"Is he really that overwhelmingly powerful?" Second Prince Xingju mumbled.

Meanwhile, at the underground dungeon...
The Heavenly Guardian of the Yi Clan and his clan were all taken prisoner by the current king, along with the barbarian fighter and Yi Kun himself, who were kept apart from the other prisoners except for the one barbarian who was spared by Wang Xingmo.
Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun did not anticipate that upon his return to his domain, his home would be destroyed by fire a second time, and that his Protector Beast would also be killed. Though he made every effort to eliminate all those who had committed such an act, he was unaware that among those cowardly men there stood a man whose might could challenge his, a heavenly guardian.
This man, known only as Nameless, possesses a unique power to subdue the darkness.
"You bastard! Who the hell is that man beside you? He is stronger than any Heavenly Guardians. He might even be stronger than all of us combined," Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun said.
Wang Xingmo said, "Don't be too interested in my person. You've been unafraid. Are you waiting for Heavenly Guardian Fei to save you?"
"How did you know?" He asked in shock.
Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun looked at Eang Xingmo in disbelief. As if he didn't expect this man to know his plans for letting Heavenly Guardian Fei out of his prison.
Wang Xingmo chuckles. "How did I know? Why don't you talk to your friend about it?"
He placed a communication crystal in front of Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun and saw the scene of the destroyed spell at the entrance of Anairam Trench. He can only watch as Heavenly Guardian Fei commands his minion fishmen to clean out the gates of his house.
[Ah! Let's place a proper gate here. Also placed a payment booth. Only those who pay can enter this danger zone. It also rules that half of the hunted ingredients must be given as compensation for going inside. You must also make a mansion for me inside.
I will be living here starting today. Argh! That bastard Yi Kun, how could he destroy the spell at the entrance? Now I have to prevent small fish from escaping this damn place. Oi! [Get me more Night Pearls; it's too dark inside.]
[Master, your communication crystal is on.]. Did you allow it to automatically accept calls?]
[Nonsense! I've turned off calls from everyone except the palace. I don't want to receive a call from that crazy Yi Kun. He wants to attack the Lu and Mo clans. He is not afraid of Satan, but I am. That man's wife is a freak.
Would a devil like him be normal? Attacking that monster couple's clans? I don't seek death. Let that bastard die on his own. Also, don't accept any barbarians in our place. If those demons hear that we are hiding those retards, we will get implicated!]
[Master, I saw Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun in the crystal.]. [He heard everything you said just now.]
[What did you say?]? ]
[Ah! Ah? The signal is... Buzz~ click!]
Seeing the call cut off, Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun became enraged that his hand was restrained by metal chains, which were specifically designed to constrain elemental and physical ability users and made hunters as weak as common people. They watched Heavenly Guardian Fei grab the communication crystal and pretend to be the signal.
He even shook the crystal to shake the image itself and turn off the call.
Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun shouted, "That damn lunatic! I'm going to skin him alive and remove his scale. Fucking half-man, half-fish!"
"This fish is realistic and he isn't stupid like you. At least he knew who to touch and not, unlike you. We've already sent people to report to Satan about what happened. We also didn't interfere with the attacks the Barbarians had made. So I don't think that the Lu and Mo Clans would be left unharmed by tonight's event.
The only reason I'm keeping you guys alive is because I need to surrender you guys to Satan when they return. The kingdom mustn't be implicated by your stupidity after all~" Wang Xingmo said.
Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun shouted, "I'm protected by the Evil God in the Tower of Gods! What can Satan even do to me?"
"The evil god of that tower? Will he protect you? Hehe~ I wonder if that will even happen?" Wang Xingmo said as he prepared to leave. "I can't wait to watch the day you will die~."

Midnight. Mo Clan's Territory.
Leading the barbarians who had secretly slaughtered every human within the mansion is the Barbarian King, who was glancing about as though he was searching for something.
"King. Something. Wrong?"
Sniff!
"I'm sure that the strong person is here! I can't pinpoint him, but he is definitely here. I need to look for more keepers. You guys clean up all the weaklings for me!" The Barbarian King said.
"Yes, King!" The hundred barbarians behind him roared as if cheering.
