Chapter 277 Blood Wolf Adrian
"City Lord, is Guishen really dead?"
A man wearing a thick black and red robe and a triangular mask asked an old man.
The old man's body was very thin. His eyes were amber and murky.
He was the City Lord of Sky City, Blood Wolf Adrian!
Under his feet, there was an even skinnier blood wolf curled up, that seemed to be on the verge of death. It would only breathe once every minute, and every breath made its body tremble.
Adrian's gaze did not change. He simply looked at the sky, and his mouth opened slightly as he replied with a hollow voice that seemed to come from the abyss, "When did you have the right to ask me questions?"
His eyes fell on the man wearing a triangular mask. His eyes were full of killing intent.
After sensing Adrian's gaze, he immediately knelt down.
"City Lord, this subordinate has spoken too much."
The man was frightened and fearful. He knew that his life was in Adrian's hands.
As long as Adrian spoke, then he would die without a doubt.
Adrian's eyes moved away.
"You may leave. This has nothing to do with you. Just do what you're supposed to do. There's been a bit of a commotion in Sky City recently. Settle it!"
"And don't disturb me again."
The man nodded immediately. He bowed and retreated more than ten meters away before turning to leave.
When he returned to his residence, the man vented his anger on his furniture, and all kinds of precious items were smashed to the ground.
His eyes were red as he looked at a woman who had just walked in. "Jiuniang, has father really gone senile? I was just talking to him, and he actually used that kind of tone to scold me."
The woman wriggled her body and snuggled up to the man like a snake.
"Don't worry. Although your father scolded you, you still have me."
The man glanced at the woman, and his mood softened.
This man was Adrian's son; one of his seven sons…
And this woman was the ninth of Adrian's 98 wives.
They all came from the same race.
Constellation race.
A race with limbs that were very similar to humans, but possessed what looked like a wolf's mane.
Their wolf manes were of different colors, and their social structure was similar to that of humans.
The population of the constellation race numbered about 10 billion.
The unique thing about them was their wolf manes, which was the center of their aesthetic sense.
This race had started out worse than the human race, and for much of their history, had been slaves, sold and traded by the various myriad races.
However, even though they were forced to submit and obey others, they were a bloodthirsty race deep down, and would attack their owners given the chance.
…
Blood Wolf Adrian was sitting on his throne calmly, tapping his chin as he pondered certain matters.
When a man in a gray robe walked in, his eyes looked at the man questioningly.
The gray-robed man quickly spoke up, "City Lord, we have successfully captured the soul outline of the culprit. As long as you give the order, we will immediately launch a hunt for him."
Adrian, on the other hand, simply waved his hand.
"Record his soul outline. Don't worry about this for the time being. Let me think about it. "
The other party immediately nodded, bowed, and left.
Adrian remained silent for a long time.
Then...
He looked at the blood wolf that was curled up at his feet.
"Old friend, Guishen was killed in the end. Our judgment of the future might have to be slightly altered."
The blood wolf opened its similarly cloudy eyes. It did not say anything and just nodded.
After Guishen had died at the Moon Goddess Sea while searching for the jinx, without a trace of him, the thousand-handed dead python, or the ship he was on, Adrian had sent out another flying ship.
This was the one that was loitering around the Moon Goddess Sea at the moment.
This flying ship had been specially modified to periodically transmit the soul outlines of any being it detected to Sky City.
Hence, when Yuchi destroyed it, it was too late even though he had already sealed the transmission formations on the flying ship.
Before the ship was destroyed, his soul outline had already been transmitted to Sky City. Then, it was simply a matter of sorting through the information.
…
At the Moon Goddess Sea, Yuchi was staring at the sky where the pirate ship had been flying just a moment ago.
He felt like a janitor, killing and cleaning the filth from the world.
"Hmm."
"It seems that I really need to take some time to visit Sky City."
"But there's no hurry."
"In a year at most I'll break through to the Dao heart realm."
Just as Yuchi was about to return to his wooden cabin to continue cultivating...
Ershania, who had been rescued by Yuchi, came back to her senses.
Her eyes were filled with tears and surprise.
It was Senior!
