A dark mist rose from the surroundings of Gubao, and several young men with glossy black robes, crimson cloaks, round hats on their heads, and slender long swords at their waists emerged from the mist. One of them, with a faint blood-colored magic emblem between his eyebrows, said calmly:

  "As the non-human racial union councilor, I, Kaisar Paineetuu, the patriarch of the great Paineetuu family, am willing to serve as a witness for this fair duel."

  Caesar's brow sparkled with a magical emblem, and he elegantly said:

  "You killed Vagus's legitimate son."

  Gu Xie furrowed his brow.

  Caesar's eyes turned to Waughs and he said calmly: "He killed your only legitimate son."

  Vagus let out a low growl, looking at Caesar Pain uncomprehendingly, wondering why this group of vampires had come here. However, Caesar Pain was after all the Hui Senator of the Non-Human Ethnic Groups United Senate, his authority far surpassing Vagus', so Vagus endured the flames in his heart and listened to Caesar Pain's words.

  "Between the two of you, hatred must be washed away with blood. However, as the United Senate that upholds the interests of all non-human races, we must act justly and impartially towards both parties. After our investigation, Major Valois was not killed without reason, so both of you have equal rights in this duel. This is a fair duel, and both of you should go all out to determine life and death."

  "If I win, I'll eat your heart!" Vagus sneered and licked his own nose.

  Pausing for a moment, Waggs continued to sneer: "If you're lucky enough to win, the pursuit of killing you will..."

  Caesar Bown interrupted Wagus's words, his face stern as he coldly smiled at Wagus: "If you lose, you will lose the opportunity to challenge Mr. Gu Xian again. This time, thoroughly resolve the grudges between the two of you, and afterwards, do not allow anyone to continue making trouble for the sake of Walei's death!"

  Vagus's furious roar rose, he jumped up and down crazily, pointing at Caesar's portrait and roaring: "Caesar... whose side are you on?"

  Cassius's eyes turned a deep crimson as he gazed coldly at Vagus, sneering: "You don't even know what kind of enemy you're dealing with, yet you've been manipulated into being their pawn. I wonder how someone like you became the presiding elder of the Senate!" His mouth curled in disdain, Cassius muttered under his breath: "Barbaric, uncouth, and ignorant creature!"

  Wagus's legs were about to explode with anger, he "huffed and puffed" staring at Caesar Payne's portrait, finally venting all his anger towards Gu Xiechen.

  Sharp claws swiped "Wagus" let out a loud cry, rushing towards Gu Xiechen. Every single long hair on his body stood up straight like steel needles, each one emitting a hissing sound as they shot out red air currents. Wagus charged at Gu Xiechen like a mad bull, his double claws grasping at Gu Xiechen's entire body like a tornado.

  "I'll tear you to shreds!" Wagus howled madly, his long claws waving, each one leaving a blood-red arc that stretched for tens of meters.

  Caesar looked at Vagus with a smile, as if everything was under his control. The vampires behind him also looked at Vagus with disdain, one of them whispering to himself: "This existence without brains but only muscles shouldn't exist in this beautiful world."

  Gu Xie dust faced the fierce attack from Wagas, simply dodging left and right. Occasionally, he couldn't dodge Wagas' pounce, so he exchanged a few blows with him.

  Waggs relied on the innate ferocity of the werewolf clan and the secret transmission of the Wolf God Temple's "Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit". Gu Xuan, on the other hand, relied on his father's refined Snow-Devouring Divine Claw, with a fierce and violent bloodthirsty fighting spirit that was like a raging fire. Every strike brought forth a wave of intense heat, while the Snow-Devouring Divine Claw whipped up a storm of cold air. The two clashed fiercely, their four arms colliding violently as they exchanged blows. A massive explosion of blood and ice shot out in all directions, causing the ancient castle to tremble continuously. One of the towers even began to crack from its foundation, with countless fine cracks spreading throughout.

  Three minutes passed, and against Vargas's fierce attack, Gu Xianchen didn't retreat an inch.

  Ten minutes passed, and all of Wagus's power was exhausted at 100%, while Kuxia dust remained unmoving.

  Thirty minutes had passed and Vagus was drenched in sweat, panting heavily. Gu Xie Chen was also dripping with sweat, but he still hadn't retreated a single step.

  No matter how fierce Wagos' offensive was, Gu Xiechen was like a reef, stubbornly blocking Wagos.

  In the secret room beneath the ancient castle, a golden-haired girl and a cute little boy were bound together with cow tendon ropes, tightened to the point where they had sunk an inch deep into their skin. However, not only did the lovely golden-haired girl not make a sound, but also the little boy was biting his teeth tightly, although his eyebrows kept twitching in pain, he didn't let out even half a whimper.

  Wu Qingfu sat in the corner of the secret room, watching the duel between Gu Xiechen and Wadeges through the monitor. When he saw that Caesar had intentionally or unintentionally set up rules biased towards Gu Xiechen, Wu Qingfu's face turned gloomy. "Damn it, what is this? Is he helping Gu Xiechen or Wadeges? He was invited by Wadeges as a helper, how could he suddenly switch sides and help Gu Xiechen?"

  In another corner of the room, an old man with a blood tumor on his forehead sat cross-legged and listened to Wu Qingfu's complaints. The old man said indifferently: "What's strange about it? They must know that Gu Xiechen is a disciple of the corpse emperor, that old rascal. Alas, these Western vampires are even more unreliable than the Romans. It was stupid of Wagos to ask for their help, isn't it asking for trouble?"

  Wu Qing attached to Jiao Ji Dao: "So to speak, our plan to win over Waggs to deal with Gu Xie Chen..."

  The old man sneered and shook his head, saying with a self-satisfied tone: "Although these vampires don't dare to offend the Corpse Emperor, but Wargus is not one of them. He has a very high status among the werewolf tribe, and as long as he suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of Gu Xiechen this time, he will put aside his meaningless self-respect and gather his tribesmen to take revenge on Gu Xiechen. This is the real intention behind Master's decision to bring him here while also notifying Caesar Penteo! Only by using Caesar Penteo to provoke this foolish wolf can he be made to make as big a fuss as possible!"

  Wu Qing smiled a few times, he licked his lips, and his gloomy eyes suddenly turned to the golden girl.

  Obscene gaze swept over Jin Nu Lang a few times, Wu Qing attached a sly smile and said: "Master, didn't expect this woman to have already given birth to a child, yet her figure is still quite good... Hehe, anyway, her man is Gu Xie Chen's trusted aide, my disciple has been traveling from Tian Xing all the way back, not even having any fun along the way..."

  Wu Lao didn't make a sound, his eyes fixed on the field, and his breathing gradually became finer and longer.

  Wu Qing attached great importance to it, he jumped up suddenly, and happily bowed to Wu Changlao:

  "Thank you Master, thank you Master... Hehe, Golden Mother, the disciple has never really enjoyed it before!"

  Rubbing her palms vigorously, Wu Qing approached Jin Nulang step by step.

  In another secret room below the ancient castle, a yellow mist burst out, and Xin Jia quietly poked his head out from underground. He cautiously looked around, then slowly crawled out of the ground and silently opened the large door of the secret room. Outside, two ninjas in black clothes were patrolling over, hugging the wall corner, Xin Jia stretched out his two long arms, grabbed the heads of the two ninjas and pulled them into the secret room.

  Five fingers clamped onto the throats of the two ninjas, and Shinji lowered his voice to ask them:

  "Where is the person you've caught? Tell me quickly, or die!"

  Two ninjas felt an overwhelming pressure coming from the giant man's throat, they had no doubt that this three-meter-tall muscular man could easily strangle them to death. They looked at each other and revealed the location of the cell where the hostages were being held without any hesitation. One of the ninjas even warned: "There is a very vicious seal set by Wu Sanlao, one of the Three Witch Sect's elders, in the cell. Be extremely careful when you go in, Elder Wu's disciple Wu Qingfu is also inside."

  "Hmm? Is it sealed off? No wonder I couldn't sense that hidden room."

  "With a forceful nod, Xin Jia coldly smiled and said: You've spoken, now you're doomed!"

  With a slight exertion of his fingers, the two ninjas' Adam's apples were crushed to powder. Xīn Jiǎ (辛甲) let out a cold laugh and quickly calculated the location and angle of the secret room based on what the two ninjas had said. Silently, he slipped into the ground and headed in that direction, disappearing from view. Two yellow glows shot out from Xīn Jiǎ's eyes as he was able to see hundreds of meters away through the earth, his line of sight unobstructed by the thick layers of soil except for the secret room protected by Wū Chánglǎo (乌长老)'s seal. Following the two ninjas' accounts, Xīn Jiǎ smoothly approached the underside of the secret room.

  He pinched an incantation, and with a sincere heart, he informed Gu Xie Chen. He sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating all his energy on communicating with Gu Xie Chen.

  Xin Jia's presence was like a bright lamp in the dark night, and Gu Xie dust clearly sensed Xin Jia's location.

  Three consecutive claw attacks repelled Wagris, Gu Xie's eyebrows shone with a brilliant silver light, he followed the connection of his heart with Xin Jia, and extended more than half of his spiritual power in that direction.

  Xin Jia successfully received and grasped the power transmitted by Gu Xiechen, his arms shook slightly to the left and right, and a large pit with a diameter of nearly 100 meters appeared silently on the ground; A silver light flashed, and Zhao Yi and one hundred subordinates of Xin Jia walked out of the silver light in big strides, they immediately formed an array under Zhao Yi's command, everyone recited incantations and made gestures towards the sky.

  The massive array vaguely took the shape of a Black Turtle, with Xin Jia as its eye. The spiritual power of all hundred people converged onto Xin Jia's body. With the addition of Gu Xie Dust's spiritual energy, the power within Xin Jia surged and churned, causing his meridians to swell with immense force. A faint yellow glow burst forth from the top of his head, threatening to erupt at any moment.
