No one spoke.

Only the low growls of the pets, the rustling of armor, and the howling of the night wind could be heard.

The air was thick with an intense, almost palpable, killing intent.

The light then dissipated.

In the center of the encirclement, two figures floated silently in mid-air.

One is a bird-like supernatural creature so large that it gives people an extreme sense of oppression.

Its lead-gold wings still shone brightly in the night, and its eighteen tail chains swayed slowly behind it like swimming dragons.

Even without releasing any pressure, just hovering there quietly, all the lightning, demon, and flying pets within a kilometer radius began to tremble uncontrollably.

That was an instinctive fear that came from the depths of one's blood.

The other figure was equally majestic, like a mountain or a vast river.

Nine ferocious heads stood facing the wind; their mere appearance alone was enough to intimidate and terrify.

Not only did the pets feel suffocated, but even the beast tamers present felt stiff and powerless.

There's also a feeling of being inexplicably watched by the forces of fate.

"Bang!"

A bloody mess was thrown down.

The group quickly came to the conclusion that the bloody object was a human.

"That person! That person... is Lord Xun the Ghost!"

Someone screamed in astonishment!

His voice was split, and there was phlegm stuck in his throat.

The one thrown on the ground was none other than Gui Xun.

At this moment, Gui Xun, one of the five great ghost lords of the Da Sili Kingdom, lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud.

His eyes were closed, and his face was ashen.

His chest was still rising and falling, but his consciousness had completely sunk into darkness, and his previous air of complete control had vanished.

"Bang bang bang..."

Before everyone's shock and disbelief had subsided and before they could even begin to react normally, five more objects crashed down beside Gui Xun.

Isn't that the Red-Eyed Five?

They were all in a coma, like ghosts.

Actually, once you leave the Nightmare Land, you can use the spatial items.

However, they still needed to keep them to explain some things, so Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan did not intend to hide them.

"Don't move!"

With a sharp shout, the patrol captain pointed fifty sharp spears at Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan.

The night wind howled.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Jin Yuanbao slowly turned his head and glanced at the captain.

Just one glance.

The spear in the captain's hand suddenly trembled violently.

It wasn't out of fear, but because the spearhead was wrapped in blinding lightning.

The lightning bolts traveled rapidly along the spear tips and shafts, spreading across their bodies.

"Crackling and popping!"

Even though these people were all beast tamers, and their physical abilities were at least at the B level, they were still electrocuted and burned.

"Damn it!" The captain instinctively let go of her hand.

He kept holding on, because he really couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be electrocuted and roasted alive.

Just then, an aged voice rang out from the crowd:

"Please calm down, Lord Lei Yuji!"

An elderly man with gray hair and a slightly hunched posture slowly squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the front.

He is Xiao Hui, an old man from the Ghost Nightmare Tower's No. 9 outpost, who has worked here for over a hundred years.

His strength is unknown, giving him a somewhat mysterious, unassuming appearance.

He had seen countless intruders, stowaways, and provocateurs, as well as countless extraordinary beings.

I have handled countless serious incidents.

He has never experienced fear or anxiety.

Even today.

Until they could clearly see the two extraordinary creatures in front of them.

The god-level extraordinary creature, Lei Yuji!

The divine, extraordinary creature, the Nine-Heavenly Python!

It belongs to Mingxi, the number one genius and number one powerhouse in the alliance, and the pillar of the Longhua Kingdom!

He recognized the two pets, but recognizing them didn't mean he could relax.

On the contrary, he will only become more nervous. No one who has heard of the demon queen's deeds can remain calm.

Even if she only uses dirty tricks against her enemies.

But who knows how she defines an enemy?

What if, to her, everyone who is not from Longhua is an enemy?

After all, even their Ghost Lord Xun has been trampled underfoot by her pet beast.

How could he not be nervous?

Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan, a total of ten and a half pairs of eyes, all looked at the old man.

Although Yaoxuan's true appearance is a bit scary, its personality is much friendlier and more worldly-wise than Jin Yuanbao's.

It spoke gently: "Don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions for now."

Xiao Hui's lips twitched slightly.

What a temporary situation.

Of course, some people have very unique perspectives.

"This pet can speak human language!"

"So pure!"

"Could it be the Heavenly Nine-Eyed Python, a mythical extraordinary creature?"

"He looks rather scary, not quite in line with that big shot's style."

"What's that big shot's art style like?"

"You're such a sucker for good looks, don't you think all her pets are good-looking?"

"That's not right, is it? Where did you put that Jade Emperor, the Poisonous Official of Yayu?"

"...Don't you guys think it's kind of ugly-cute?"

As Xiao Hui listened to the increasingly outrageous and nonsensical conversations around him, his face was full of black lines.

After Mingxi registered at the Beast Taming Center, some of Yaoxuan's information was exposed.

At this moment, a young man next to Xiao Hui suddenly roared angrily:

"So what if you are Mingxi's pet beasts? You trespassed into the forbidden area of ​​my Great Sili Kingdom and seriously injured our Ghost Lord. What exactly do you mean by this?!"

The others seemed to only then remember Gui Xun, who was lying on the ground severely injured, looking like a roadside figure.

He immediately became furious.

The Ghost Lord was essentially the leader of the Great Sili Kingdom, and his status in the eyes of the people was almost equivalent to that of a religious figure.

Once you get hooked on this kind of concept, let alone the two god-level pets in front of you, even if Mingxi herself were here, they could let the fanaticism of these die-hard fans take over their intelligence.

"Yes! So what if you are Mingxi's pet beasts? What right do you have to harm our Ghost Lord!"

"He must be severely punished! And Mingxi must come forward and offer a sincere apology to our Ghost Lord and the people of the Great Sili Kingdom!"

"Yes! Give Xun Guizhu back to us!"

"Apologize!"

Shouts rose and fell, and the encirclement began to tighten.

Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan simply watched all of this calmly; their lack of expression was their greatest expression.

Then, Yoh-hyun spoke again.

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly:

"Apologize?"

One of the heads appeared as if condemned by heaven, its body swaying slightly, and the angry young man's image was reflected in its pupils.

"Are you sure?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the gold ingot moved.

It did not spread its wings or release any pressure; it simply raised its wings slightly and pressed them lightly against the ground.

"boom--!"

An invisible energy wave rippled outwards from it.

The next second, within a radius of 500 meters, all metal objects—spears, armor, ornaments, and even the terminals on the beast tamers' bodies—simultaneously began to surge with current.

Current Surge, a high-level lightning skill, releases an extremely high voltage current, covering an area with a radius of one kilometer. Through electromagnetic induction, it forcibly attracts all metallic substances within the field, causing a devastating blow to the target.

During the skill's active period, all metal elements on the field (including metal items carried by the opponent, the bodies of steel-type supernatural creatures, and metal components on the field) will be forcibly activated by the electric current, generating a chain discharge reaction.

This skill will always hit the target if they have any metallic components (steel attribute, are carrying metal items, or are in a metal environment), and it ignores status effects that increase evasion rate.

And there is a chance of falling into a state of paralysis.

If the target is a steel-attribute supernatural being, the chance of paralysis is doubled.

Although this skill level isn't high, it's just right for dealing with these people in front of us.

It won't lead to any deaths or supernatural events, but it can still serve as a deterrent.

"Crackling crackling"

What's wrong with Zili?

"Awooooo!"

A group of people and their pets were electrocuted, looking like energetic young men who had just taken drugs, waving their arms and legs excitedly.

All the metallic substances on their bodies became dangerous conductive materials.

If Jin Yuanbao so desires, these metals could transform into deadly blades in the next second.

The encirclement was complete; they were electrocuted.

In the dead silence, a voice came from behind the crowd:

"Stop it, all of you."

This time, the crowd, who were jostled and disoriented by the electric shocks, very consciously and with difficulty separated.

A burly middle-aged man walked out slowly.

He wore a dark blue official robe of the Da Sili Kingdom, with a coiled ghost face embroidered on his chest.

"Ba Cang, the Chief of the Ghostly Department of the Great Sili Kingdom."

The Ghost Division of the Grand Minister of Justice was equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Longhua Kingdom.

The Chief of the Department is naturally the head of the Ghost Department.

After introducing himself, Ba Cang's gaze passed over Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan, and then settled on the emaciated people on their backs.

Finally, the image focuses on the unconscious Gui Xun.

His brows furrowed slightly.

But things quickly calmed down.

"The pet beasts of the Pillar of the Bright Sun Kingdom, Lord Lei Yuji and Lord Tianji Jiuhuang Python!"

He spoke, his voice steady, "They broke into the forbidden area of ​​my Great Sili Kingdom in the dead of night, seriously injured our Ghost Lord, and... these people."

I think we have the right to an explanation.

Yaoxuan looked at him.

All nine heads tilted up slightly at the same time.

"An explanation? Certainly, you can," it said calmly. "But unfortunately, you're not quite qualified."

It wasn't meant to humiliate anyone, but rather it genuinely felt that the official in charge was unqualified to handle the matter.

It's one thing for a country's leader to be a member of an illegal organization, but to be suspected of breeding a deadly race like the lizard rats in forbidden territory within their country is another.

One official cannot handle this.

Ba Cang's expression changed: "You—"

"Let's wait until someone in charge comes," Yaoxuan interrupted him, his tone still calm. "I'm pretty sure you can't make that decision."

After saying that, it didn't look at Ba Cang again, but took out a palm-sized mirror from its spatial artifacts.

This is a second terminal specially customized by Mingxi, which can be considered a secondary card for her personal terminal.

Because Yaoxuan has a complete language system, he can usually act as her secretary.

It can still contact the outside world in emergencies.

It skillfully used the thread of fate to dial He Linhan's number.

Communication was established immediately.

"Lord Guozhu?"

"It's me! Yaoxuan!" Yaoxuan said into the terminal. "I'm with Jin Yuanbao and the others outside the ninth outpost of Ghost Nightmare Tower. How long will it take you to get there?"

Without hesitation, He Linhan replied, "Lord Yaoxuan, I will arrive within ten minutes!"

Although Longhua Kingdom and Dasi Kingdom are separated by a great distance, as long as you are willing to spend money, resources and items, it is more than enough to get there in ten minutes.

It's just opening a long-distance portal.

"Okay, we'll wait for you."

Yaoxuan didn't say anything more and hung up the phone to wait calmly.

Neither side made another move.

The atmosphere was tense.

Of course, this only applies to the people of the Great Sili Kingdom; for them, those ten minutes felt like an eternity.

The encirclement remained, but no one dared to make a move.

The shockwave from Lei Yuji's skill just now was enough to make them suffer.

These two god-level pets are like two mountains; they simply cannot climb over them.

No one dared to climb over it.

Although Lei Yuji had stopped, the invisible pressure they exuded still sent chills down people's spines.

No one can relax.

Of course, they have also contacted other demon lords.

The fact that Mingxi's pet beast appeared outside the Ghost Nightmare Tower is enough to cause a major upheaval in their entire country.

What's more, it also involves the kidnapping of the Demon Lord!

Therefore, the other four ghost masters have been notified immediately.

It took less than five minutes.

The two portals landed almost simultaneously in the empty wilderness.

From the left, a group of young people dressed in Longhua national uniforms walked out. The young man in the lead had a handsome face, but his eyes were sharp as knives.

It was He Linhan, the chief steward of the Guozhu Mansion.

On the right, a slender woman with white hair and a youthful face walked out.

She leaned on a white bone staff, her eyes were sunken, and her pupils were green.

Her green eyes are not quite the same as the turquoise eyes of Florence.

The former is a cold and eerie green, like a pool of water that has been sleeping in the deep mountains and forests for many years, so green that not a single ray of light can pass through it.

The emerald eyes of Florence are like jade that has been soaked in ancient forests and lakes, or like a secret forest that has never been spoken of.

When light passes by, a faint, glassy luster appears in the eyes, only to be absorbed by a profound emotion in an instant.

We've gone off on a tangent.

This silver-haired, youthful-looking woman is one of the five great ghost masters, the Ghost Granny.

Before becoming the Demon Lord, she naturally didn't have this name.

But that's not important.

The two groups stopped almost simultaneously and exchanged a glance.

He Linhan greeted first: "Greetings, Your Excellency, the Witch!"

Because legal and compliant cross-border opening of space gates requires a joint interpretation of authority from the two countries' governments.

How could the Ghost Lords not know that Mingxi's chief steward was about to enter their country?

The problem is that, given their relationship with Longhua Kingdom and its soaring international status, they cannot refuse them entry.

"Butler He, welcome!"

The two sides seemed to be getting along quite well, but the atmosphere on the scene was anything but relaxed.

The old woman's gaze first swept over Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan, and she nodded solemnly to the two of them.

Finally, her gaze also fell on the unconscious Gui Xun.

"Fifth brother..."

She knew that the fifth brother had an accident, but she didn't expect him to be in such a terrible state.

As an SSS-rank Beastmaster and a Ghost Lord, she was far more perceptive than others.

The fifth brother's situation was much more serious than reported.

He must have had a pet die, because the Soul-Binding Jade within his body was activated.

The fifth brother is finished.

"call--"

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and looked at the two imposing beasts: "Gentlemen, do I, this old woman, have the right to hear your explanation?"
