Weapon seller in the world of magic

Ever since he acquired that cultivation technique, Mark started dreaming of building such a cannon, which could shoot targets from planets away.

He was having a similar dream today too, but it remained incomplete this time as the abrupt knocks on the door woke him up.

As Mark got out to open the door, Alina was seen standing outside.

"Hmm… who is it?" Song Yue asked in her sleepy tone.

"Honey, it\'s nothing important. You sleep." Mark slowly closed the door and looked at Alina, "what is it?" He asked.

The android answered, "Bad news. Mephisto was dead."

"Mephisto died?" Mark furrowed his brows in seriousness. "He is an immortal realm demon. Even with the world\'s suppression, there\'s no force on this planet that could possibly kill him, apart from me. What happened?"

Alina\'s blue eyes glowed for a second before projecting an image,

"According to the images downloaded from the satellite, it looks like we have a formidable enemy."

The image was kind of blurry, and Mark couldn\'t see the face of the person or the beast standing beside him, but he did manage to see the golden energy enveloping the large sword the warrior was carrying, which was pointing at the fallen Mephisto.

Alina went on projecting many images but nothing gave away the identity of the attacker.

Mark said, "Pass the message to King Qi about postponing our attack. It\'s best if I take care of this unknown warrior before thinking of any other strategies. Find out everything about him."

"Understood."

As Alina left him, Mark couldn\'t help but wonder, "Who is this mysterious expert that Emperor Shi managed to hire? Or was he just passing by?"

Meanwhile, at Leon Empire\'s imperial palace, Xie Tianyu was in private attendance with Emperor Shi and the sixth prince while Xiao Chuhe was with his friends who became awkward with him.

"No, I\'m not here to meddle in the affairs between the two Empires, Emperor Shi. I\'m only here to take away my sister with me." Xie Tianyu refused the Emperor\'s offer to become the Empire\'s Supreme guardian.

"But, didn\'t you say that your sister has supposedly been snatched away by Lu Zhen?" The sixth prince pointed out the problem. "I believe you were aware of the protection shield over Genesis City, which wouldn\'t let an outsider enter the city without the palace\'s permission. Moreover, there are several demigod realm beings in that place. Moreover, Lu Zhen is not that simple. If he could manage to bring four demigod beasts to his side, you can imagine how strong he was. Whatever rumors circulated all over the world about him, I\'m afraid he is stronger than that. It won\'t be easy for you to invade that place and take your sister by force."

Xie Tianyu nodded in agreement, "I\'m aware of it, Prince Shi. Or else, I would have already gone there to take away my sister. I have been looking for a certain treasure. Quite coincidentally, it was hidden in this City. As long as I can attain it, I might be able to dispel the world\'s suppression of me. They won\'t be of any concern."

"A treasure In this city?" Emperor Shi raised his eyebrow. He couldn\'t help but remember Mark\'s message a while back. "Lu Zhen was also talking about it. He said the demons were looking for something and wouldn\'t stop until they acquired it. What is the treasure you were looking for?"

Xie Tianyu answered without hiding anything, "It\'s called the Eye of Nezha. It should be in the form of an amulet with an emerald eye embedded in it. If you can get me the treasure, I\'ll do a favor for you, too. Consider the killing of that demon as a gift."

"Huh?" "Eh?"

The Emperor and his grandson reacted at the same time, as they were taken aback by surprise. Xie Tianyu sensed the change in their emotions and questioned them, "Don\'t tell me you knew the item?"

The sixth prince then reached to his neck and suddenly took out an amulet, which matches the exact description of this savior mentioned. "It\'s this item?"

"It\'s with you all along?" Xie Tianyu was visibly taken aback, reaching out for the amulet as the sixth prince offered it to him. Taking a closer look at the amulet, Xie Tianyu said, "Yes, it is the one."

"Uhh… this belonged to my daughter," Emperor Shi told him. He further added, "She received it as a betrothal gift from her husband which was supposedly his ancestral treasure, and later, I passed it to my grandson as a memento of his late parents."

Xie Tianyu couldn\'t hide his smile as he commented, "I guess it was indeed a good thing I intervened in your battle. Or else, I wouldn\'t have found this ancient artifact." He looked back at the old man, "Emperor Shi, tell me, how should I repay you? State your wish. As long as you don\'t ask me to stay here, I will do my best to fulfill it. I would even kill Lu Zhen if you want. I have heard nothing but bad things about him anyway."

Emperor Shi cast a sidelong glance at the sixth prince and said, "I might have certain wishes to ask but it is a fact that the artifact belonged to my grandson. It is his right."

After exchanging meaningful gazes, the Prince immediately said, "Just one thing. I need you to destroy a facility located on an island. It\'s Lu Zhen\'s secret weapon manufacturing facility."

"Huh?" Emperor Shi frowned, looking at his grandson. He was expecting different, like killing Lu Zhen actually. More than the demon invasions or whatever, he was more worried about the southern neighbor that could end his dynasty for good.

"Oh! Tell me about its specs," said Xie Tianyu, suddenly becoming interested in the topic.

The sixth prince explained, "Lu Zhen brought an abomination to this world, Your Grace. I believe you already know about the existence of firearms and his invincible-under-demigod robotic army. Through our information network, we found that it is that mysterious facility located on Fujian Island that is the source of his weapons. We destroy it, we would take off Genesis Federation\'s limbs."

"Robots? Firearms?" Xie Tianyu\'s reaction of surprise was out of the prince\'s expectations. "I seem to have heard of them before. Sss…" He hissed in pain, grabbing his head for a moment as flashes of some blurred memories came to his head.

The Emperor and his grandson couldn\'t help but exchange glances, wondering what was going on.

"I accept your request." He rose to his feet with a determined face, "Give me the location. I\'ll destroy it right away before leaving for my destination."

Meanwhile, in another room, in a royal guest room, Xiao Chuhe was explaining his story to whom he considered his friends, "Well, that is how I escaped from the clutches of the righteous sects and ended up in a contract with Brother Xie. However, since I\'m neither a demigod nor have a cosmic bloodline like a dragon or phoenix, I can only maintain this human form with his unique sealing method. After that, he went somewhere and I had to live somehow. So, I created this Xiao Chuhe persona and created a nonexistent minor noble family. It\'s not that I want to come here, but I have no choice but to follow Brother Xie\'s orders."

Warrior: "…"

Assassin: "…"

Monk: Well, we can understand where you are coming from, but it is a lot to take, Brother Xiao… well, you know, now that we know that you are a bloodthirsty beast of the Nethersect…

Xiao Chuhe: *sigh* forget it. It is foolish of me to think you people are any different.

He left the guest room, closing the door with force.
