Jin Lao severed his communication with the City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire.
Previously, he had indeed required assistance from the Zhongtu Empire to expand his influence.
But now, he no longer needed it. The entire Divine Realm Continent was essentially under his control.
A mere Zhongtu Empire was nothing he paid attention to. Moreover, he had heard about the Lord and knew they were quite formidable.
He saw no need to risk his life fighting that Lord for the sake of a small Zhongtu Empire. The reason the Lord dared not offend the Divine Realm was because the Divine Realm Continent was brimming with powerful individuals, thus they bullied the weak Zhongtu Empire.
At this moment, the City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire was dumbfounded, standing still, unsure of what to do.
What was going on? Was he really going to beg that Barbarian City Lord?
He refused to believe it and once again attempted to contact Jin Lao. However, this time, Jin Lao gave him no chance, severing the connection directly.
"Damn it, are they really planning to abandon me, or is it that even you cannot deal with this Lord?"
The City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire felt a sense of dejection.
Just then, the Dwarf King limped in.
"Did you contact reinforcements? If this continues, we'll be doomed! Didn't you say that super expert from the Heavenly God Sect on the Divine Realm Continent had been recruiting you? Now is the best opportunity. As long as he helps us overcome this difficulty, we can consider joining his Heavenly God Sect!"
The City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire's expression was grim.
"I have already contacted them, but they have no intention of helping us!"
"What? The Zhongtu Empire combined with the Dwarf Kingdom, that's no small number of experts. Even if the Heavenly God Sect is currently the largest sect, they wouldn't look down on us. Could something have gone wrong?"
The City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire had also received news some time ago that the Heavenly God Sect had consolidated all eight major powers of the entire Divine Realm Continent. However, he naturally wouldn't believe such rumors, as these eight powers had existed for a very long time, and it was impossible for them to merge so easily.
But judging by their current attitude, it was highly likely.
"This is serious trouble. The only person we can cooperate with now is the Barbarian City Lord!"
"Him? The City Lord of the Barbarian City that the Lord attacked some time ago?"
"That's right, him. Because he also has a super expert behind him!"
The Dwarf King shook his head.
"If you ask me, we should go to Pingfan City and find the expert I told you about before. With him around, there will absolutely be no problem!"
The City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire frowned.
"How can that dog you mentioned be so extraordinary? At least the Barbarian City Lord is more reliable!"
The Dwarf King also distrusted the Barbarian City Lord. After all, he had witnessed Ri Tian's power and disdained those at the Barbarian City Lord's level.
"You go find the Barbarian City Lord, and I'll go find my Dog Brother. We'll see whose ability is stronger!"
"Alright, it's all for our nations, right? We'll split up!"
"Agreed!"
The City Lord of the Zhongtu Empire reluctantly chose the latter and contacted the Barbarian City Lord, while the Dwarf King directly used a teleportation array to arrive at Pingfan City.
The Dwarf King's appearance caused the players in Pingfan City to exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, it's the Dwarf King! I heard he's the strongest from the Dwarf Kingdom in the Zhongtu Empire."
"Nonsense, the official channels have already revealed information from the Zhongtu Empire. Players who reach level 80 can go to the Zhongtu Empire!"
"Does the sudden appearance of the Dwarf King mean the level 80 map is about to open?"
"Who knows? Maybe there's a special quest. Let's go ask!"
Several players, gathering their courage, approached the Dwarf King.
"Greetings, Dwarf King. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The Dwarf King, having arrived in Pingfan City, indeed needed help because he was somewhat lost and didn't know where to find his Dog Brother.
Since someone had come to ask, and Dog Brother was so powerful, someone was bound to know him.
"Do you have a very powerful dog in Pingfan City? Can you help me find him!"
"A dog? When did Pingfan City have a powerful dog? We have ten dragons, look!"
The Dwarf King looked towards the city walls and indeed saw ten dragons. However, this was not what he was looking for. While it was astonishing, it was within reason, as this was his Dog Brother's territory.
"It's not these dragons, but a dog. Can anyone tell me where he is?"
At this moment, a member of the Eternal Myth Guild overheard and quickly rushed over.
"I know, I know! Isn't it our Village Chief's dog? His name is Ri Tian. He used to be walked frequently, but now I rarely see him. If you're looking for him, I can take you!"
Upon hearing the name Ri Tian, the Dwarf King's face lit up with excitement. Yes, that was the name.
"That's right, he's the one I'm looking for. Can you help me lead the way?"
"Of course, please follow me!"
"Thank you, a small token of my appreciation!"
Saying this, he took out a platinum axe and handed it to the player in front of him, causing the surrounding players to be filled with envy.
"Holy cow, just for finding a dog, he directly gives away an ultimate weapon! How did I not think of the Village Chief's dog? I know him, why didn't my mind react to that?"
"Damn, you're talking about that lecherous dog! No wonder I was wondering what powerful dog Pingfan City had; it's him!"
"An ultimate platinum axe, my heavens! I just missed out on this!"
The player who received the ultimate weapon was ecstatic and led the Dwarf King to the entrance of Zhang Pingfan's small courtyard. However, Zhang Pingfan was not inside at the moment.
The player led the Dwarf King to the entrance of the small courtyard.
He gently knocked on the courtyard gate.
"Is the Village Chief at home? Someone is looking for you. No, someone is looking for your dog!"
Ri Tian's drooping ears perked up. Someone was looking for him.
Ri Tian spoke, "Hei Huang, open the door and let him in!"
"Yes, Big Brother!"
When Hei Huang opened the door, the Dwarf King felt a terrifying pressure directly assault him.
In contrast, the player beside him was completely unaffected.
"It's here. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else!"
The player, filled with excitement, began bragging in the guild.
The ultimate platinum axe also made the guild members incredibly envious.
Meanwhile, the Dwarf King's legs felt like lead. He wanted to step into the courtyard but found himself utterly unable to move.
What was going on? The pressure from this small courtyard was too terrifying. He had never felt such a terrifying sensation even when facing experts far surpassing peak War Gods.
Hei Huang's face remained expressionless.
"Come in!"
Both were peak Ninth Tier War Gods, yet looking at Hei Huang, who seemed perfectly fine, while the Dwarf King could barely move.
"Brother, I can't move. Are there any restrictions here?"
Hei Huang then remembered that without his master's command, no one could easily enter.
"Big Brother, what do we do if Master isn't here?"
Ri Tian jumped down from his doghouse.
He stretched lazily and slammed a paw onto the ground.
