When they saw the key, people’s greed instantly increased, but they couldn’t help but tremble at Ciel’s words.
His voice did not have a domineering aura, but the memory of the Ice Goddess could be something more terrifying than just seeing a God in person.
No one dared to move, and they quickly realized that they were only seeking death because the winged horse Ciel was riding was enough to kill them all.
The problem was that they were all just Hegemons, no Demigods.
Of course, there were Demigods in this city, but they only watched silently from hidden places.
Compared to those Hegemons, those Demigods were truly worth watching out for because of their great power.
Even Ciel would be worried if they made a move in the condition that he did not have a protector around him.
They could not kill him, but there was no problem if they just took something from him because the protective formation created by the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen only activated when the formation owner received an attack that could cause him injury.
In the respective cases of his hand being grabbed and his storage ring being taken away, it could not be considered a dangerous attack.
However, those Demigods who on average already had more experience naturally thought more deeply before acting. They were not hasty and wanted to see the situation first.
Some even said, “it could be that the Mountain King is restricting visitors to his tomb so we can’t enter. In such a situation, even having the key is useless.”
That was what they were worried about. Not being able to enter that tomb, and at the same time also offending Ciel, their lives would not be able to be peaceful.
If they could enter the tomb, the opportunity to steal the key would naturally always exist.
Ciel smiled as no one moved, he tapped Pegasus on the shoulder again, telling him to move again.
Yun Ming was quite amazed at the way Ciel handled this. His threat was very clear. If it was him who said that, some people would probably criticize him. However, Ciel did not get a single criticism.
“Prince, there will probably be many hidden moves after this news spreads,” Yun Ming said after a while. “Of course, I’m not just talking about this continent, but the other continents as well. I’m sure many will come from the surrounding continents. And there are many things we don’t know from outsiders. If it’s just people from this continent, their movements can be read by me.”
“I know!” Ciel responded with an unconcerned expression. He waved his hand at Yun Ming to stop talking about that.
However, Mu Yixue suddenly spoke in a low voice after that. “It’s better if you call one elder to be a guard. You know, bad things could happen.”
Actually, that was also what Ciel was thinking, but whether it was Isla or Mu Yueli, both of them clearly wanted to avoid him now. And he wasn’t that familiar with the other elders.
After a moment of thought, he suddenly remembered Kaiya he had met. That woman had shown friendliness to him, so he thought it would be easier if she was the guardian.
“Can you contact your senior sister, Kaiya?” Ciel asked Mu Yixue.
The latter was a little surprised that she wanted the woman.
“Are you sure?” She couldn’t help but ask to be sure because she thought Kaiya was a very scary woman, and difficult to control. She was only docile in front of the Ice Goddess.
Little did Mu Yixue know that Kaiya regarded Ciel as the son of the Ice Goddess and respected him as she respected the Goddess.
“Just call, tell her that I want her to come,” Ciel replied.
Since she had already said it, Mu Yixue immediately sent a message to her.
Of course, she also explained the details that happened here.
A short while later, Ciel and the others arrived in front of an area surrounded by a beautiful river.
Within that area were many buildings that could be said to be a city within a city.
Of course, not just anyone could enter as the area belonged to Madam Zhou.
Only those who have a relationship with Madam Zhou can enter freely.
If other people wanted to live there, they would need to pay a very expensive rent, which wasn’t that much of a disadvantage since it was a very safe place to live. And it was also a place filled with pure spiritual energy so cultivating there could be several times faster.
Not far from there is actually a similar area. It was Madam Maya’s place.
Whether it was Madam Zhou or Madam Maya, both of them were supreme beauties on the Holy Cloud Continent. Even now that they had not appeared in public for a long time, one could still hardly find a woman as beautiful as them. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝒞𝒪𝓂
It was said that when they were young, many geniuses from other continents came to propose to them. Some were even ready to conquer the entire Holy Cloud Continent.
Unfortunately, all that was stopped by a young man who would later become the Blue Cloud God.
Although he was not yet a God at the time, his talent had already reached such a point that the sons and disciples of the Gods were also helpless before him.
In the end, Madam Zhou and Madam Maya became his wives. The former gave birth to one son and one daughter while the latter only gave birth to one son for him.
“Please enter, Prince!” Yun Ming pointed his hand at a bridge that connected the area with the city area.
Ciel and the others immediately crossed the bridge.
Coincidentally, just as they crossed the bridge, a group of people came out of a building similar to a palace.
They were led by a middle-aged woman who was so beautiful that it seemed as if the moonlight was coming from her face.
Even just her appearance managed to make the air very fragrant and pure.
