Several figures roared past in the sky.
In the next instant, more than ten innate spiritual kings appeared above the Misty South Palace. From the energy they released, it was apparent that half of them were middle spiritual kings. This was truly a formidable army.
The army was formed by three forces, with the most powerful ones leading them. The first lot contained Boris, that famous array deployer who were leading the army with Errol by his side.There was another middle spiritual king with them, whose appearance indicated that he might come from the West Desolate Land. He might be the lord of the West Desolate Palace then.
The second lot was formed by two middle spiritual kings and two lower spiritual kings, all of whom had come from the Earth Fire Land. Ricky saw a familiar face among them. It was Mia, from the Casting Guild!
The remaining four middle spiritual kings and four lower spiritual kings were apparently the forces from the Heaven Wood Land. Ricky recognized the Chief of the Sky Manor in them at once.
"Come out and let's have a good old chat, Zenith. Don't hide behind your mountain. After all, you invited us here in such a high-profile way. Is it really polite to treat your guests like this?" one of the middle spiritual kings from the Heaven Wood Land called out as soon as the whole army had come to a halt in the air. He didn't say those words with his mouth, but instead transmitted them with his energy which formed powerful sound waves that carried his voice across the valley and bombarded the whole place.
"Get lost!" Zenith answered in a cold, dry voice which showed his contempt and defiance. His words swept over the army forcefully, like a series of strong waves. All the innate spiritual kings up there had to gather up their energy and protect themselves from the sound attack.
Nonetheless, it was still too powerful. All the lower spiritual kings were knocked back by the energy, and several less competent middle spiritual kings felt a punch in their chest, unable to fend off all the energy from Zenith.
All the innate spiritual kings' faces darkened immediately when the sound attack stopped. The confidence in their eyes drained away.
They were all very powerful warriors, and were able to detect others' levels fairly easily. Judging from Zenith's sound attack alone, they realized that their rival was far more powerful than they were. He had uttered merely two words, and they all just lost their balance.
It was a hard pill to swallow, but they had to face the truth. There was an undeniably great disparity in their strength. At this point, it suddenly dawned upon them what Zenith's greatest card was--his powerful strength! At this level, he could be strong enough to send them all to their fate.
This was the last thing that Boris and his men wanted to see. They might have tried to maintain a calm exterior, but the envy and fury in their eyes betrayed them. More then anyone else, they just couldn't accept this fact.
It wasn't hard to understand. Seeing their sworn enemy grow stronger had dealt them a big blow. Anyone in this world could become more powerful except for Zenith. The burning hatred in their chests blazed hot and furious.
....
"Invited you? I don't recall ever doing that. I only told the world that the Misty South Palace was founded. Isn't it already a convention to inform every corner of the Realm of Wildness whenever you create a force of innate spirit? I'm only following the customs, and yet here you are! I can't believe you all came here to congratulate me," Zenith scoffed, his voice resounding throughout the whole valley.
"Or should I say that you are in fact all coming over uninvited?" he asked coldly.
As soon as he had done speaking, three figures descended from the sky and came face to face with the army. They were of course Zenith, Soar and Ricky. Ricky was rather weak compared to the two of them, but as lord of the Misty South Palace, his presence was required.
Besides, all the innate spiritual kings had come hurriedly for his spiritual space tool. He refused to go into hiding and leave others deal with his concerns.
"Ricky!"
"Ricky is here, too!" All the innate spiritual kings exclaimed the moment they saw him, their faces all lighting up with greed. For a moment, they seemed to have all forgotten about Zenith and how strong he had become.
"What are you doing, Ricky!? The Fortune Land is going to open soon! What the hell are you thinking about establishing this Misty South Palace thing? You're just asking for trouble! Why couldn't you just keep a low profile until you get out from the Fortune Land?" the Chief of the Sky Manor asked rather grumpily, using her mind to communicate.
She might very well be the only one in the army who wasn't coming here to snatch Ricky's spiritual space tool.
"What brings you here, Chief?" Instead of answering her question, Ricky only deflected it. Truth be told, he was also a bit surprised when he saw her in the crowd at first.
"I didn't want to, not one bit! But Kristen insisted that I should come here and keep an eye out. If possible, I would rather stay out of the trouble," she retorted with a frown.
"Kristen asked you to come?" Ricky murmured upon hearing her words, feeling quite touched at finding out that Kristen really cared about him. But soon, a trace of slyness came onto his face.
