Chapter 2099: Night Slaves!
When Zhou Yu saw these two members of the Dark Night Clan, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had used his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings when he darted out just moments ago, and hadn’t detected any presence at all.
Yet suddenly, two people had appeared.
Even standing right before him, Zhou Yu struggled to sense their presence.
What did this mean?
It meant that these two people’s Realm had far surpassed his own.
Most crucially, one of them was the purple-bodied Dark Night Royal Family member who had seemed to hold a significant status within the Dark Night Clan.
In an instant, Zhou Yu felt a chill all over his body.
Just then, another strange sound came from nearby.
Just as the two Dark Night Clan members were about to act, they turned to look in that direction.
A Spiritual Light appeared once more.
Zhou Yu also looked over, and when he saw who it was, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
It was none other than Captain Xiao.
She had also escaped from underground.
Just as he had thought.
Right after appearing, Captain Xiao saw Zhou Yu, her eyes first showing surprise, then immediately revealing a smile as she moved forward.
But as soon as she lifted her foot, she froze.
Her face turned stiff, and she slowly turned her head towards the two members of the Dark Night Clan.
Just like Zhou Yu a moment ago, Captain Xiao’s expression became extremely unpleasant.
At that moment, the two members of the Dark Night Clan spoke.
"Hmph, what’s going on?"
"How could so many humans escape?"
"These useless fools, truly deserve death!"
The purple-bodied Dark Night Royal Family coldly snorted.
The Dark Night Clan member nearby immediately spoke respectfully:
"Lord Meng Wang, subordinates have already investigated, under this island is the Earth Dragon Spirit Toad’s den, connected in all directions; these two must have escaped from there."
Meng Wang snorted:
"Regardless of the reason, allowing humans to escape is utterly unacceptable."
"There must be severe punishment."
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu and Captain Xiao.
"However, both of you must die too!"
As his words fell, Meng Wang raised his hand, and a terrifying purple light instantly emerged.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu and Captain Xiao’s faces drastically changed.
Neither hesitated; they immediately used their own means to escape.
In an instant, Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder wrapped around Zhou Yu, and he activated his long-unused Ancestral Dragon Battle Body; with the double enhancement, he transformed into a black light and fled into the distance.
As for Captain Xiao nearby, she trembled all over, and a burst of Spiritual Light appeared.
The Spiritual Light instantly condensed into a peculiar shadow of a beast.
Under the shadow’s bolster, her speed was not slower than Zhou Yu’s.
Seeing the two actually trying to escape, Meng Wang’s eyes filled with mocking disdain.
If he let these two escape in front of him, wouldn’t his face be utterly disgraced?
Meng Wang immediately intended to act.
But suddenly, the Shadow Clan member beside him stopped him.
"Lord Meng Wang, wait!"
Meng Wang paused, then asked somewhat angrily:
"What’s the matter?"
That person chuckled.
"Meng Wang, remember the matter we discussed earlier?"
"My views differ from Madam Meng Wang’s."
"So, I boldly want to make a bet with Lord Meng Wang."
"If I win, I kindly request you agree to my earlier request!"
Hearing this, Meng Wang frowned.
"A bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
The Dark Night Clan member gazed at Zhou Yu and Captain Xiao’s fleeing backs in the horizon, smiling:
"Lord Meng Wang, these two humans seem to have some capability!"
"Let’s each bet on our companion beasts, whichever companion beast kills its respective target first, wins."
"How does that sound, Lord Meng Wang?"
Meng Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he gave a sinister smile.
"Fine. As you’ve said!"
With that, the two simultaneously waved their hands, and two shadows swiftly dashed out.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Yu and Captain Xiao had already fled nearly a thousand miles.
While fleeing, Zhou Yu surveyed the rear with his Divine Sense; noticing that the two Dark Night Clan members hadn’t pursued them, he showed a look of puzzlement.
However, seeing the sinister smiles on their faces, Zhou Yu knew that they wouldn’t let them go.
He just didn’t know what they were up to.
But Zhou Yu felt an ominous premonition.
At this moment, Captain Xiao caught up to Zhou Yu.
"Captain Zhou, they don’t seem to be pursuing us!"
Zhou Yu shook his head:
"Don’t harbor such thoughts; they won’t let us escape."
Captain Xiao’s face appeared somewhat grim.
"What Realm are they actually at?"
"I can’t sense them at all."
Zhou Yu shook his head:
"Same as you."
"If they were only at the Void Refinement Realm, I wouldn’t expect such a scenario."
"No surprise, both of their Cultivations are at least above the Integration Realm."
Hearing this, Captain Xiao’s face turned ghastly pale.
"In that case, these two are Dark Night Royal Family members?"
The Dark Night Clan, being a Race even more powerful than the Withered Water Wood Clan or the Shadow Clan.
The Royal Family among the Dark Night Clan, that would be the ones with the strongest bloodline within the Dark Night Clan.
Of course, since the Dark Night Clan was too distant from the Human Race, Zhou Yu only had a general understanding.
He couldn’t fathom why the Dark Night Clan would appear here in such large numbers?
Could the Dark Night Clan also intend to act against the Human Race?
If that were the case, there would be absolutely no hope for the Human Race to survive.
Upon realizing this, Zhou Yu felt a chill behind him.
In the Human Clan Plane, the Human Race was the primary power, with almost nothing threatening their existence.
Yet, in the Primordial Realm, the Human Race was precariously positioned at the edge of a cliff.
If not careful, they could face extinction.
Just then, Captain Xiao’s face abruptly changed.
"Not good, they’re making a move."
"Hm?"
"They didn’t come themselves, rather sent Night Slaves!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately expanded his Divine Sense, detecting two shadows racing towards them.
Zhou Yu was puzzled.
"What are Night Slaves?"
Captain Xiao hurriedly explained:
"Almost equivalent to the companion beasts of the Shadow Clan, but with some differences."
"The Dark Night Clan refers to them as Night Slaves."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu quickly calculated.
"Their main bodies didn’t engage but sent so-called Night Slaves; certainly there’s some trickery."
"Nevertheless, it grants us a chance to survive."
"Captain Xiao, from now on, we must collaborate wholeheartedly; if there’s any ulterior motive, we’ll both perish."
Upon hearing this, Captain Xiao deeply breathed in.
"Alright, I agree."
"Captain Zhou, among all the City Defense Captains in Fengyuan City, your reputation is well known. Does Captain Zhou have any strategies?"
"This young lady looks up to you for guidance, Captain Zhou."
Zhou Yu shook his head.
"I have no thoughts for now."
"However, under any circumstance, we cannot kill these two Night Slaves."
"For the rest, let’s proceed step by step!"
