“`

When the Great Tang Emperor returned to the Capital, the skies over several hundred miles around the Great Zhou Capital darkened.

The winds and clouds were stirred by the Great Tang Emperor’s aura.

As the Great Tang Emperor appeared near the Great Zhou Capital, aside from the Sky-Men of various sects still lingering in the city, they faintly sensed a terrifying presence flying towards them rapidly from afar.

The vast majority of civilians and commoners could not feel anything amiss at all.

Aside from noticing the darkening skies and the look of impending rain, they had no other thoughts whatsoever.

Within the Residence of the Duke Protector of Great Zhou.

Cheng Guang sensed something, and within the cool pavilion, he lifted his gaze towards the distance.

The Black Cub in the courtyard slightly opened its eyes and looked towards the distance.

Upon seeing the figure approaching quickly from the direction of the Heavenly Realm.

The previously indifferent Black Cub suddenly bristled, its partially closed canine eyes widened hugely, and its body leaped up from the ground, barking frenetically at the figure in the distance.

“Mum!!!”

“What is this aura…?!”

“Run!! Run!!!”

The Black Cub merely felt the other’s aura but instinctively sensed the ill intent.

The presence of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha had made the Black Cub slightly uncomfortable but those two hadn’t directly revealed their auras.

The Black Cub couldn’t comprehend what sort of existence they truly were.

However, when the Great Tang Emperor approached the Residence of the Duke Protector of Great Zhou, due to his hurried travel, his aura wasn’t concealed in the slightest.

When Black Cub suddenly sensed his aura, it felt as if that pressure could directly crush it to death.

Such a suffocating feeling, the Black Cub hadn’t tasted in many years!

At this moment, the Black Cub grew increasingly desperate, running rapidly towards Cheng Guang in the pavilion, and then bit his sleeve, trying to drag him away from this place immediately.

Perhaps to find somewhere to hide right away.

Cheng Guang’s gaze was still fixed on the rapidly approaching figure of the Great Tang Emperor, and he paid no attention to Black Cub’s panic.

Even as Black Cub tugged on his sleeve, Cheng Guang remained indifferent.

He simply patted Black Cub’s head.

Commanding him to calm down.

With its face full of urgency, the Black Cub emitted a dense aura of danger in its breath. If it weren’t concerned for Cheng Guang’s safety, it would have already turned tail and fled.

Facing such a level of a powerful being…

How could its owner, Cheng Guang, still remain so serene??

Didn’t he understand how terrifying the other was??

The Black Cub’s pitch-black face suddenly showed an expression of human-like helplessness and frustration.

Just as the Black Cub was about to say something in its urgency.

A figure suddenly appeared next to the Black Cub.

The words Black Cub intended to say got stuck in its throat.

Unable to make any sound at all.

It could only let out some meaningless “uh-uh” noises from its throat.

Black Cub’s eyes widened, closely watching the Great Tang Emperor not far away.

Despair filled its heart.

Black Cub truly hadn’t expected that this being with such a terrifying aura intended to come here.

He wasn’t targeting it, was he?

That shouldn’t be.

As Hell’s Demon Emperor, I haven’t done anything wrong.

How could this human possibly want to do anything to me?

Or could it be…

He was targeting my owner, Cheng Guang?

Black Cub’s mentality nearly collapsed, feeling that in the presence of the Great Tang Emperor, there was no chance of escape.

Even though Black Cub hadn’t actually fought with the Great Tang Emperor.

But intuition told it.

The reality was just so.

After the Great Tang Emperor landed, his gaze turned to Cheng Guang, and just as the Great Tang Emperor was about to say something, he also noticed the Black Cub at Cheng Guang’s side.

Just seeing Black Cub’s appearance.

The eyes of the Great Tang Emperor involuntarily constricted slightly.

For some reason.

The Great Tang Emperor suddenly developed a sense of fear towards Black Cub.

He had just encountered Erlang Shen, Yang Jian.

And the Great Tang Emperor knew, one of the most iconic beings with Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, was the Roaring Celestial Dog.

Previously, Town-Nation Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang ostensibly asked him to take control of the Great Yan Dynasty, but the ultimate goal was to have him subdue the newly awakened Erlang Shen, Yang Jian.

“`

“`

Only…

I couldn’t beat Erlang Shen, Yang Jian.

In fact, I almost got killed by him.

If it hadn’t been for an urgent matter that suddenly arose for Erlang Shen, prompting him to leave directly,

I’m guessing I would be dead in the Underworld by now.

It was precisely because I had just encountered Erlang Shen and was stimulated by him that when the Great Tang Emperor saw the Black Cub near Cheng Guang,

he subconsciously thought the Black Cub with Cheng Guang could very well be related to Erlang Shen.

It could even possibly be the Roaring Celestial Dog!

Upon this realization,

the Great Tang Emperor felt a chill creep up his scalp.

In an instant, everything clicked into place.

“So that’s it…”

“The Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, Cheng Guang, must have known that Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, would awaken at this time.”

“The Princely Heir has already tamed the Roaring Celestial Dog, and now he wants me to subdue Erlang Shen, Yang Jian…”

“But I didn’t expect…”

“How powerless I am…”

These thoughts led to a sense of shame washing over the Great Tang Emperor’s face, which took on a somewhat unsightly look.

“My Lord…”

“I…”

The Great Tang Emperor’s lips quivered as he spoke each word to Cheng Guang with difficulty.

Cheng Guang looked at the Great Tang Emperor’s struggle with a puzzled face,

wondering why the Emperor seemed so deathly distressed when everything had already been taken care of.

Indeed.

Cheng Guang knew that the Great Tang Emperor had already completed the task for him.

When the Great Tang Emperor, along with Zhou Qingxu and others, had taken control of the Great Flame Imperial Family and the officials of the Great Flame Court,

the system had notified Cheng Guang that his mission was completed.

However, Cheng Guang hadn’t claimed his system reward right away.

He was continuously contemplating the True Lord of Pure Origin Painting, trying to find out if the True Lord of Pure Origin truly still existed among the living,

and how he might possibly locate him.

If Cheng Guang could win the assistance of this True Lord of Pure Origin, perhaps even the help of Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, the first god of war in the Heavenly Court,

he would then feel somewhat more confident facing the Heavenly Court’s Jade Emperor and the Like of Buddha Sect in the future.

Of course,

even with Erlang Shen’s support, Cheng Guang only felt a bit more confident.

Cheng Guang knew that he should rely more on himself.

No matter how powerful others were,

to Cheng Guang, they were merely external forces.

They could be leveraged, but it would be wrong to become dependent on them.

Cheng Guang chuckled to himself as he thought this over and shook his head, then stood up and patted the Great Tang Emperor’s shoulder, saying with a smile:

“What great difficulty have you encountered?”

“Haven’t you already taken control of the Great Flame Imperial Family?”

Cheng Guang’s words reached the ears of the Great Tang Emperor, stirring a sudden surge of emotion in his heart.

He knew Cheng Guang was not blaming him.

The Great Tang Emperor dropped his head slightly and then said, “Princely Heir, although the Great Flame Imperial Family has been controlled, the true task you wished me to accomplish remains unfulfilled.”

Cheng Guang was taken aback upon hearing this.

“The true task I wished you to accomplish?”

Cheng Guang repeated the Great Tang Emperor’s words,

looking puzzled.

Wasn’t the real task I wanted you to carry out to subdue the Great Flame Imperial Family?

Was there something else, some deeper meaning?

Just as Cheng Guang was about to ask, the Great Tang Emperor continued to speak.

“Erlang Shen, Yang Jian’s strength is simply too incredible.”

“Even though he’s only just awakened, I stand no chance against him.”

“If we let him grow unchecked, he will soon reach heights beyond our reach.”

The Great Tang Emperor said, his face filled with distress.

The gap in strength and talent almost drove him to despair.
