### Chapter 4: King vs. King (18)
To be honest, at this point, Lin Nan was feeling a bit dazed.
Because everything was happening way too fast!
Fu Yetian had just escaped with the giant beast that had swallowed up the forbidden land, and the Floating City, now out of power, began to plummet.
She originally wanted to pat the shoulder of Gongsun Ding, who was lost in shock and pain, and persuade him to join her in constructing a new society in Cold Wind City.
But lo and behold, in a moment of distraction, the Spiked Hedgehog slipped from her grasp.
To save her newly beloved hand warmer, Lin Nan had no choice but to bend down.
As a result, the Spiked Hedgehog pricked her finger and ballooned up like a Sea Mallow that had taken a speed-enhancing potion. In the final seconds before Thousand Bird City was about to face doom, it transformed into a four-legged giant beast and saved everyone.
When she heard the thunderous cheers and prayers of gratitude from below, she was still in a daze.
Of course, from an outsider’s perspective, the graceful Queen seemed to be calm and collected. Even if the sky were to fall, it probably wouldn’t change her expression one bit.
Hey, hand warmer, do you just go around saving people on a whim?
Does your mother know how awesome you are?
Or was her earlier action what caused the hand warmer to misunderstand?
Could it be… that the way she accidentally dropped it from high up held special meaning to the hand warmer?
But whatever the reason, looking at her hand warmer now turned into a giant statue, she wouldn’t be able to figure out the answer.
Judging by the enthusiastic reactions from the citizens,
It seems that inadvertently saving Thousand Bird City isn’t such a bad thing after all.
With the people’s support as a foundation, Gongsun Ding would surely become more honest and wouldn’t easily change allegiance.
Just thinking that one of the Seven Great Sects, Thousand Bird City, would now be entirely under her control made her a bit giddy inside.
It looks like her career in the game world is about to reach new heights.
But this seemed to conflict with her usual instinct for self-preservation.
Big trees attract the wind!
Actually, she didn’t need to get personally involved this time; sending out a few powerful character cards could have completed the plan just as well. However, the d*ath of the Wolf Demon sparked an unprecedented urge in her to avenge her comrade.
Fortunately, the outcome largely aligned with her expectations.
It was basically impossible to easily crush Ji Shen.
And so far, the only thing left that she was concerned about was Shiyuan’s whereabouts.
Where the heck did that little brat run off to?
Thousand Bird City was on the brink of collapse, yet there hadn’t been any clues related to him.
If it weren’t for the Wolf Demon confirming that Shiyuan’s scent had vanished at the outskirts of Ground City, she wouldn’t have even involved herself in the chaos of Thousand Bird City.
Since things had already developed to this point,
She could only let Gongsun Ding, now in charge of Thousand Bird City, send someone to cast a wide net to search for Shiyuan.
In this moment, she intended to immediately order Gongsun Ding to arrange this matter, so she could find him and swiftly leave here.
But unexpectedly, an uninvited group interrupted her plans.
Well, what do you know, just when you think you’re in the clear!
From a distance, upon seeing those familiar outfits, Lin Nan instantly knew who they were. She thought about standing back and watching the show, but Gongsun Ding proactively approached them.
At her current level, it wasn’t difficult for Lin Nan to distinctly hear their conversation.
As she listened, the expression on her face grew colder.
Ah, the Heavenly Sword Sect really is here to stir up trouble.
“Birds of a feather flock together,” huh?
When the Floating City plummeted, where were you lot? Now that Thousand Bird City had finally returned to a semblance of calm, you want to come and pick fruit?
And you say Gongsun Ding’s ascension to Sect Leader is illegitimate?
Who do you think you are!
“Niu Gan Dang!”
“Here!”
“Go retrieve Gongsun Sect Leader!”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
The shout of “Queen!” echoed through the city, led, of course, by the Great King of the Split Land and his gang of monsters setting the rhythm.
At the moment the Floating City fell, the Great King suddenly realized that Ji Shen had prepared for a two-pronged approach. If things went south, Fu Yetian would have no qualms about going solo, completely ignoring the fate of everyone in White Feather City.
Fortunately, he had submitted to his old master early on, allowing him to escape with his life.
Otherwise, knowing the Queen’s temperament,
Even if everyone in Thousand Bird City died before her eyes, it wouldn’t even make her blink.
And at the moment the Heavenly Sword Sect appeared,
The Great King prepared for a confrontation. He still had a few powerful demons and less than three thousand little demons under his command.
Right now, they were all lined up neatly on the ruins of the Floating City, waiting for the Queen’s summons.
Just as he had hoped,
Finally, the Queen remembered him in this critical moment.
Haha, what’s the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Leader to her?
With the Queen standing behind him, do they dare to fully engage in battle?
The Great King, accompanied by two powerful demons, a Centipede Monster and a Cloud Leopard, instantly blocked Gongsun Ding’s path.
They intercepted Luo Ying’s impending sword strike.
“Gongsun Ding, how dare you collude with the monsters!
If you really hand Thousand Bird City over to them, won’t the citizens be thrown into chaos, unable to sleep at night!”
Luo Ying’s eyebrows shot up in anger, clearly shocked and furious at the sudden appearance of the monsters defending Gongsun Ding.
This was simply too outrageous!
Once considered a righteous sect among the Seven Great Sects, the Heavenly Sword Sect was now collaborating with monsters, shattering their worldview.
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at Gongsun Ding with disdain.
Had everyone in Thousand Bird City completely forgotten the bloodshed caused by the Monster King 400 years ago?
Humans and monsters cannot coexist!
The bl**d feud is unforgettable!
And he, as a proud disciple of a sect, shamelessly siding with monsters was a disgrace to the human race! A total disgrace!
Gongsun Ding’s expression was somewhat complex,
But he quickly steadied himself,
Because he had already faintly guessed his master’s true identity.
However, none of that mattered anymore.
From the moment he pledged allegiance to his master, he was bound to share their glory and shame, unable to sever ties.
Even if one day, Thousand Bird City completely merged with the monsters, he would have to comply.
Because that was the cost of ensuring the survival of Thousand Bird City.
With a powerful strike from the Great King, Luo Ying’s hidden light sword erupted into dazzling brilliance.
Luo Ying already reached the elders’ level of the Heavenly Sword Sect, at level 120.
She wouldn’t be at a disadvantage against the Great King.
Thus, the two sides instantly erupted into a fierce battle in mid-air.
Meanwhile, the two bosses, the Cold Moon Witch and Ling Xiaozu, exchanged glances, their eyes occasionally clashing mid-air.
Cold sweat began to bead on Gongsun Ding’s forehead.
Just when one issue seemed to resolve, another arose.
Is a battle among the three factions about to kick off again?
Whether it was the many residents of Thousand Bird City or the audience in the live streaming room,
The sense of relief they had just felt was once again in the balance.
Ling Xiaozu’s data had already been published by the live streaming system.
A whopping level 150 boss,
Could the Cold Moon Witch actually get through this one?
……
P.S.: Breakfast is here! The final chapter of King vs. King is served!
