I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1264 - 1258: Playing Tricks in Front of Emperor Huntian?

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1258: Playing Tricks in Front of Emperor Huntian?
"Kid, are you even human?"
Upon hearing Zhang Menglong’s words, Xiaobai immediately roared in anger, "I’ve kept you company through countless lonely nights, and even when you were half-dead, I stayed by your side. And this is how you repay me by leaving me hanging?"
"That’s not even how you use ’leaving someone hanging’," Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes, "Aren’t you so badass? Why don’t you chase him away yourself? I keep a cat, I feed it, give it water, and it still snuggles up to me for a good petting. What about you?"
"I..." Xiaobai thought for a long time, realizing that, other than eating Zhang Menglong’s food, it spent its days mocking him in inventive ways to prove its own superiority, even treating him as a mere servant and litter scoop.
Even Xiaobai couldn’t think of a reason why Zhang Menglong should help him.
If it were at its peak, such a cowardly adversary wouldn’t scare him at all. But the crucial point is that he’s just a demon spirit now, and even the remaining power may not beat a True Martial Realm warrior. If it weren’t for Zhang Menglong saving him, he might still be stuck in the Hand of God’s laboratory right now.
"Hey, just get it over with. I’m honestly fed up with this scammer cat harassing me. Take it away, take it away now, or I’m going to get real angry! If necessary, I can even pay you!"
The mysterious person was equally surprised. This defied common sense. He had encountered such situations before. Normally, the demon spirits accompanying humans would become life-and-death partners because of their experiences or bonds. In such cases, humans would step up to protect their demon spirits.
But this was beyond his knowledge. What was going on? Someone actually wanted to drive the demon spirit away? He even seemed eager for someone to capture it, even offering money. This isn’t scientific.
"You’re heartless, you’re indifferent, you’re downright unreasonable," Xiaobai resorted to being a persistent nagger like the first day he met Zhang Menglong, clutching onto his clothes and refusing to let go.
"You cat, why are you such a pain? What else can you do besides trick people?"
"Actually, I can warm the bed, be cute, and let you pet me too!" At this moment, Xiaobai almost completely abandoned his dignity as a top Warcraft, "Look, am I cute?"
After speaking, Xiaobai shot an incredibly adorable look at Zhang Menglong, swinging its fluffy tail while a purring sound emanated from its throat.
"Damn, and you said you’re not a cat?" Zhang Menglong didn’t expect the incredibly stubborn Xiaobai to actually back down.
"Alright, alright, stop grossing me out. Get behind me!" Zhang Menglong tossed Xiaobai behind him, and only then did Xiaobai reveal a relieved expression.
"Uh, sorry, this cat is now my pet. As a qualified servant, I can’t let you take it away, you better pick someone else." Zhang Menglong said to the shadow.
"Are you playing me?" The shadow voiced an anger-laced question, "I’m not negotiating with you, I’m commanding you. Do you think your peak God-breaking strength is enough to protect it?"
The shadow slowly emerged from the wall, turning into a masked individual wearing a black robe, surrounded by an energy infused with undead aura, and sporting a black chain draped over him.
"What the hell? Are you from the Soul Hall?" The appearance, and the pursuit of the demon spirit, made Zhang Menglong immediately associate this guy with Emperor Huntian from Battle Through the Heavens.
"He’s from the Soul Tower!" Xiaobai’s face showed extreme caution, "Kid, when I was refining that treasure, I was ambushed by them, which is why I ended up in this state. You have to avenge me!"
"Oh, this is the powerful organization you were talking about?" Zhang Menglong pulled out a combat power detector, "Wheel Mystery Three Realms, that’s all they got? What’s there to be afraid of?"
"You don’t know anything!" Xiaobai shouted, "Their Soul Tower has already surpassed a First-grade power. They hide in a place called Soul Mirror Realm, using powerful martial artists or demon beasts’ souls for cultivation. It’s even rumored they have demigods in their ranks!"
"Oh, that’s alright," Zhang Menglong remained largely unaffected, after all, at the Super God Academy, many teachers’ full powers are at the True God Realm or even Main God Realm, a demigod is nothing.
"Aren’t you two done yakking?" The Soul Tower person was clearly growing impatient, "Since you refuse to hand over the demon spirit, then I’ll have to do it myself."
That martial artist snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the surrounding space seemed completely cut off from the outside, as if they had entered another dimension. Zhang Menglong could even see someone urinating on the side, but that person couldn’t see them at all.
"This is Soul Hall’s specialty in martial arts, directly pulling others into another space. It makes targeting any interesting mark much easier, unless you kill him."
"Kid, don’t you have two puppets? Bring them out, smashing him with Wheel Mystery Five Realms should be child’s play," Xiaobai stood on Zhang Menglong’s shoulder, adopting a "I’m number one in the world" tone, "And guess what, this kid has two Wheel Mystery Five Realm puppets, can take on gods and Buddhas alike, not quite my peak but squashing you is easy."
"Now you’ve really made me mad. Even if you apologize to me, I won’t forgive you easily unless you give me some dried fish..."
Feeling self-assured, Xiaobai was brimming with confidence, now the Soul Tower person finally understood why Zhang Menglong wanted to rid of this demon spirit. This chatterbox, who could tolerate it?
But Xiaobai’s words made his heart sink. That kid actually has a Wheel Mystery Realm puppet?
Wheel Mystery Realm puppets are extremely scarce. How could they end up in the hands of a mere peak God-breaking martial artist?
And if he truly had such puppets, how could he have suffered such severe injuries like he is now?
"Hey!" Zhang Menglong poked Xiaobai.
"First, don’t call me ’hey,’ it’s Eight Desolates Godkiller Tiger, second..."
"Did I forget to tell you, my two puppets were damaged crossing the time barrier?" Zhang Menglong said.
Although not completely broken, those two puppets had suffered severe damage. Zhang Menglong was initially unconscious and later didn’t have the chance to fix them.
"What did you say?" Xiaobai’s expression turned completely serious.
"Haha, I was just kidding," Xiaobai sheepishly hid behind Zhang Menglong again, "The weather’s nice, have you eaten? How about I treat you to dinner, after which we each go our way and find our families..."
"Enough!" The man in black had enough of Xiaobai’s endless chatter, "Since you’re bent on protecting it, I’ll have to take your soul as well!"
A black chain, like a soul-reaping Hell Messenger, lunged towards Zhang Menglong.
But suddenly, a man stepped in front of Zhang Menglong. He grasped the chain, as a visible black aura followed the chain back to its source.
The man donned black armor, exuding the aura of an overlord, "Playing this in front of me, Emperor Huntian? You’re still too green!"
