Chapter 94: 4.32 Third Blue Star - Sky Wolf
Xie Ye whispered, "Sky Wolf, a beast which is considered as a Myth."
All of the sudden Xie Ye heard his wife\'s voice in his mind. They were connected with Telepathy and unlike the rest, his connection to Gui Lan is a permanent one.
Gui: {A\'Ye, this beast can be considered a Beast God in this world. But the Heavenly laws restrict its strength as it\'s not an original being born to this world. It\'s strength is just a few stages stronger than yours. If you work with Yi Zheng and Xu Lun you should be able to kill it. Or do you want me to support you instead?}
Xie: {There is no need, Lan\'er. This is the creature that forced us to get separated 15 years ago. I wanted to end it\'s life with my own hands. The Vanguard Team will kill this beast.}
Gui: {...Sigh~ I understand. I will protect the rest of the group. Just focus on the beast and be careful.}
Xie: {Baby~ do you have some weapon I could borrow?}
Gui: {What kind do you need?}
Xie: {A sword would be better.}
Gui: {I get Yue to pass it to you.}
Xie: {Baby, one last thing. Could you separate this beast and me to the rest of the group.}
Gui: {I will prepare the stage for you, A\'Ye.}
Xie: {Great! Baby wait for me to skin this animal and prepare a new fur carpet for our bedroom!}
(Telepathic conversation ends.)
"Dage!?" calls Yi Zheng.
Xu Lun asked, "Any injuries boss?"
Yi Zheng and Xu Lun who just rejoined him overheard their leader\'s rumbles. Only then did they recognize the being before them.
"A Mythical Being? It\'s a God Class creature then!? Holy Shit!" exclaimed Yi Zheng.
Xu Lun stared at the creature before then with shock.
"I\'ve seen large sized gorillas and snakes in the Amazon Rainforest but not in this humongous size!" uttered Xu Lun in surprise.
It didn\'t take a while for the vanguard team to regather and surround the beast. But even though he is surrounded the sky wolf acted like he didn\'t care about their numbers. He was even looking down on them.
The beast spoke, "Hm~ there are still humans in this mid tier world who know this deity\'s origin. Not bad~" The beast grinned, showing his fangs to his prey. "But this doesn\'t mean I will spare your little lives~"
The first one to sense danger is Xu Lun because of his ability.
Xu Lun shouted, "Be careful! The ones behind! It\'s going to start attacking!"
As soon as he spoke that the huge wolf suddenly appeared before the vanguard team. Using it\'s inhuman speed to appear before the weakest link in the crowd intending to lessen their numbers. This Sky wolf seems to know tactics as well as the first target of his attack is the support group whose duty is to heal others.
The sky wolf who suddenly appeared on the rear with its almost unparalleled agility had it\'s huge paws about to land on the healing group.
"Too late, human!!!" the wild beast exclaimed.
Among the group in that area happens to be Li Xing. Seeing such a dire situation of his lover, Yi Zheng had a look of despair in his eyes.
Yi Zheng screamed in desperation, "XING\'ER!!"
Li Xing saw the huge paws above him, he felt the weakness of an ant in front of a humongous monster. He couldn\'t even hear his lover\'s voice shouting his name with anguish. He could only feel his life flashes before him.
\'Am I going to die?\' Li Xing\'s thoughts at the last moments.
He closed his eyes preparing for death and that awaited pain he would suffer in a few seconds. But after waiting for a while even lasting a few minutes Li Xing and the rest didn\'t feel the pain they should be inflicted with. Then there\'s a sudden stillness in the area. When Li Xing opened his eyes a barrier made of ice appeared surrounding the area the wolf had targeted. Even the strength of his claws were unable to break the ice.
Stunned Sky Wolf, "What!?"
Li Xing and rest, who had the idea who protected them.
"A\'Lan?" murmured Li Xing who fell seated on the ground as he felt relief of being out of the grasp of death. "Thank you."
Then in everyone\'s mind Gui Lan\'s cold voice resounded. Before they\'ve gone to this place everyone else including in this part of the plan made a temporary link with Gui Lan using his telepathy. Xie Ye took the overall command to him while he and his vanguard team focused on fighting in the front lines.
Xie: {Everyone retreat! Leave the beast to Xie Ye and the vanguard team. Vanguard Team follows Xie Ye\'s orders strictly. Healing group. Don\'t scatter around, you will need to provide fullest support for the Vanguard team. The rest of the group, don\'t move I will teleport you to different coordinates. Your task is to capture all the strugglers and escapees from the syndicate. Return to the headquarters before the sun had completely set.}
Vanguard Group: {As you wish!}
Li Xing and the Healing team: {Understood!}
The rest of the team: {Yes Sir Gui!}
Only the sky wolf didn\'t hear Gui Lan\'s voice but was quiet the whole time as if remembering something. The moment he saw this barrier made of indestructible ice made him remember the memories he got from his clone which was killed 15 years ago. He started trembling as he remembered those tortures he had suffered under that child\'s hand. He knew that the boy isn\'t what he looks like. That thing is a monster. The same kind as that master who picked him up. A higher being.
The larger group have been teleported away to do their tasks while the rest prepare for the battle.
While the wolf is distracted with his harrowing memories, Gui Lan who was watching the scene from above wipes the corner of his lips as blood trails are still left behind. System Yue who returned to his side saw his host\'s state. He immediately understood that his host mist had used the skill card once again.
[Host! Are you okay!? The suppression in your soul has wavered. The soul damage percentage had reached 50%.]
"It\'s fine. A normal backlash from using the skill card. The master of that wild wolf is a bit harder to kill."
[A master? That Sky Wolf had a master?]
"Yes! A Mythical God from the highest realm."
[Someone from Vearth!? But that is impossible no one should know the current state of the Lord God except for my boss!]
"You have traitors in your side. After we leave this small star you should go return to your boss and report about this personally. I will also need a short break to heal my soul during that time."
Gui Lan used a space element to let his hand enter in a separate space moving his hands around inside. This small dimension was connected to Gui Lan\'s personal inventory. He was looking for a sword that will become useful for Xie Ye to use. After rampaging around he pulled out a pure black sword with scarlet gemstone on the handle. The sword is flawless and sharp as if it could cut anything in its way. Its blade down to it\'s hilt is black as if the whole thing is made from obsidian stones. The sword had the aura of death, blood and darkness. This is obviously a demonic sword.
"Give this to him." said Gui Lan.
[B-But this is a demonic sword. T-The Lord God\'s soul hasn\'t awakened yet and his mortal soul fragment would not be able to control the evil aura in this sword.]
Gui Lan smiled as he heard a joke. Just based on his expression Gui Lan didn\'t believe that Ye Xiajie hadn\'t awakened yet. Just the fact that Xie Ye suddenly recognized him when he decided to leave his side in anger, there is no way Ye Xiajie didn\'t wake up that time. That man has always been afraid of him leaving for some unknown reason. He didn\'t explain anything to his system and just gave him the black sword for him to pass it to Xie Ye who is looking for a weapon.
"By the way Yue."
[Yes, Host]
Gui Lan used Authority on System Yue. He even used his real cultivation to suppress him despite the consequences.
"Authority: {You are forbidden to inform A\'Xia about this body\'s current state while I\'m still alive. Nothing should be informed. Not allowed to report that I used Authority on you and your state will remain normal when asked.}"
System Yue was shocked upon receiving the orders through Authority. Even if a system using this kind of skill is usually useless, that is only if the former is weaker than him. Obviously this doesn\'t fall in this category as the person in front of him is a lot stronger than he is. Not just a few levels but a difference of stages.
[...---...] System Yu who was bestowed an irrefutable order could only accept it in silence.
His host ignored his silence, "Go on. Pass the sword to A\'Ye." said Gui Lan.
[Oh... Sigh~ I understand. Please leave it to me.]
As soon as System Yue left his side, blood still continued to flow from the corner of his lips. Gui Lan nonchalantly wipes it with an expressionless face. He remembered his system\'s last report about his soul damage percentage.
"50%... Which means I could only live to be 40 years old at least. If I bear with it then there should be no problem with living until 50." murmured Gui Lan.
His eyes then wondered at Xie Ye\'s figure below him. When Xie Ye didn\'t recognize him and even dared to reject him, Gui Lan was honestly disappointed. He was disheartened by the fact that Xie Ye wasn\'t the first one to recognize him as Gui Lan when he was the person he spent most of his time with in their childhood. Despite that Gui Lan didn\'t get angry at Xie Ye and instead forgive him right away. Even returning to his side as soon as his identity was revealed.
Gui Lan slyly smiled and uttered, "It\'s true that I am not angry but... that doesn\'t mean there is no punishment. Would you get angry at me if I don\'t tell you that I could only stay by your side for at most 30 years in this world, A\'Xia..."

Below
System Yue had successfully fulfilled his task of giving Xie Ye the black sword though he is very reluctant to do so. He sighed in relief when he saw that Xie Ye remained sane even after holding a demonic sword in his hands. He didn\'t even notice Xie Ye\'s serious expression when System Yue gave the sword.
[Is there something wrong with the sword Sire Xie?]
"You said Lan\'er told you to give me this sword."
[Yes. This is the sword the host prepared for you sire.]
Looking at the extremely compatible sword on his hands, Xie Ye could only groan.
[The sword doesn\'t suit your taste, Sire?]
"It\'s because it suits me too much that I\'m depressed. Giving me this kind of sword at this time means he already knew."
[What does sire means?]
"It means he knew that I\'ve already woken up, Executioner 13."
When System Yue heard his real title being called by Xie Ye made him understand that his Lord God had already awakened and based on his state his Lord and Xie Ye\'s soul had already merged.
[Greetings my Lord!!]
"You can report to me later but there is still something I want to ask first."
As if System Yue already knew what kind of question his lord would ask, even though he wanted to report all details because of the authority used on him his body refused to follow his commands.
[...Please ask my Lord.]
"What is wrong with Jing\'er?" asked Xie Ye as his eyes in this very moment turned obsidian in color.
As the effect of Authority was placed on him System Yue replied without hesitation and monotonous like always.
[Nothing is wrong. Everything is fine. My Lord.]
