Chapter 1801: Sovereign Xuan Attacked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Lin Huang walked over to the nearby market for a stroll.
He did not need to buy anything. He merely wanted to kill time, since he would be entering a mysterious territory tomorrow.
It was rare for him to have a day to himself, so he figured that he would walk around the market to see if he could find anything that would surprise him.
The morning went by as he strolled around, but he did not even purchase one thing. There was nothing that interested him at all.
After all, with his current level of ability, anything that could pique his interest had to be an exotic treasure at the very least.
When it was almost 12 noon, he walked into a restaurant that was rather crowded despite not being hungry. He ordered a couple of their signature dishes.
Food served at crowded restaurants would usually be palatable at least.
Lin Huang thought he would try them out since he was already here.
Very soon, the restaurant waiter served the first dish.
It was savory egg custard.
It was not a chicken egg, but rather an egg from a local bird in the Feister Star Zone called the Vivid Feather.
Such birds were similar in size to pigeons. They had beautiful, colorful feathers on their bodies, especially on their tails.
As they were pleasant to look at and could not fly very high, many people in the Feister Star Zone kept them as pets.
Such birds laid eggs too, but there would usually only be one egg each week.
Therefore, this savory egg custard was expensive.
Although Lin Huang knew that it was a local specialty dish, it was his first time eating it.
He raised his brows as he scooped it up and put it in his mouth.
The dish’s texture felt like pudding. It was even more chewy than he thought, but it was delicious. It even whet his appetite a little bit.
After multiple scoops, he finished the dish.
Lin Huang thought that the savory egg custard would taste even better if Fatty had made it. Such an ingredient was considered outstanding among the food ingredients that regular people were familiar with.
He was even considering whether to get a batch of these eggs for Fatty.
As he was considering this, the waiter served the second dish.
It was a steak, fresh from the pan.
The recipe was similar to beefsteak. It looked similar to beefsteak too, but it was bigger and had a richer fragrance.
Lin Huang glanced at the dish’s introduction on the menu.
It was an Eastern Eight Zone’s specialty—Grass Hog.
This hog’s size was similar to that of rhinoceroses on Earth. They were herbivores that could be found in large numbers in many of the almost uninhabited grass-field planets in the Eastern Eight Zone.
Their annual yield was high, and so were the sales numbers.
Lin Huang had tried this dish before. However, different chefs would definitely cook the same steak differently.
Looking at the color of the steak, which was pan-fried, and the fragrance wafting out, he cut a slice eagerly.
He suddenly frowned slightly after putting it into his mouth.
He lifted his head to look at the sky above the restaurant as he chewed on that piece of steak slowly.
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook.
Someone outside the restaurant screamed immediately, “Earthquake!”
However, Lin Huang knew that it was not an earthquake, but rather that someone had attacked Sovereign Xuan, causing the entire Dongxuan City to be shake violently.
“This steak is wasted now…” Lin Huang sighed softly helplessly and disappeared from where he was the next second.
Xuan Palace in Dongxuan City was completely protected by a layer of shielding.
To everyone below heavenly dao-level, Xuan Palace looked the same as always.
However, Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis penetrated the layer of shielding and observed the situation within.
A black-robed spear cultivator in a fiend mask was fighting against the white-robed Sovereign Xuan.
A person in a fox mask stood not far away. He did not attack.
Sovereign Xuan specialized in both light and fire elements. His movement speed and attacks were extremely powerful.
However, that fiend-face had powerful close combat capabilities. His speed was no slower than Sovereign Xuan’s.
Moreover, the size of Xuan Palace was limited. Sovereign Xuan tried his best to dodge and attempt to put some distance between them, but he could not get rid of his opponent in the end.
Apart from that, he would have to spare his attention to guard that man in fox mask that had yet to attack at all times.
He knew that the other person was not just watching, but instead waiting for him to reveal his flaws.
He did not know what abilities the man in the fox mask possessed, but he was sure that the person would not hesitate to join the fight as soon as he revealed any flaws.
Lin Huang who was hiding, and watching the battle unfold, could see the battle situation even clearer.
Sovereign Xuan was not hurt yet, but it was only a matter of time before he would be defeated.
The reason being was that everyone knew what the three Royal’s Sovereigns were specialized in. Therefore, the ambushers they arranged should have extremely powerful abilities that targeted their opponents’ weaknesses.
The two of them sealing Xuan Palace had already limited Sovereign Xuan’s mobility significantly.
Sovereign Xuan was an Element Master. He was expert at medium-range attacks.
However, he could only maneuver in a small, confined range now.
Meanwhile, that spear cultivator had rather subtle movement skills. He was clearly specialized in high-speed movement skills. His speed in moving in a small range was not inferior to Sovereign Xuan.
Not only that, he was a spear cultivator. As soon as he approached Sovereign Xuan, one hit might be all it took for Sovereign Xuan to be injured severely.
Regarding the fox-face that had yet to attack, Lin Huang could guess that he had definitely mastered control-type abilities.
The reason being was that only control-type abilities would complement the abilities of that spear cultivator and ensure a sure-kill situation.
He had yet to attack until now in order to appear more intimidating. On the other hand, it was also to prevent his techniques from being exposed, which would give Sovereign Xuan the opportunity to take precautions against him.
Lin Huang knew that the fox-face was waiting for the chance to attack.
It would be a sure-kill situation as soon as he attacked.
Lin Huang thought that Sovereign Xuan basically did not have the chance to turn the tables around in this battle.
He had been plotted against comprehensively even before the battle began.
Lin Huang frowned slightly as he stared at the unfolding battle.
The Black Abyss definitely did not only target Sovereign Xuan alone in launching their attack. The other heavenly dao-level powerhouses of Royal, or the non-spy heavenly dao-level powerhouse of Royal, were definitely being attacked right now as well.
When he saw the news of Infinite being attacked earlier, he had predicted that the Black Abyss would attack Royal next. Never had he thought he would be around to witness it.
He might be able to save Sovereign Xuan, but he likely would not make it in time to save the others even if he rushed over to the other two battlefields.
When Lin Huang was briefly distracted, fox-face finally attacked.
He seized the moment after Sovereign Xuan had just completed his teleportation. His eyes beneath the mask lit up with a blue glow suddenly.
Sovereign Xuan fell into a daze and, at that moment, his body froze too.
The fiend that had been working in-sync with fox-face approached without hesitation. He thrust the spear between Sovereign Xuan’s brows…
The tip of the spear was less than three centimeters away from Sovereign Xuan when something happened. Sovereign Xuan seemed to be pulled by a great force and retreated frantically.
At the same time, the fiend felt as if his spear had hit something hard. He could not pierce through the obstacle.
The blue glow in fox-face’s eyes, who was standing not far away, faded away instantly.. He saw a man in white robe slowly consolidating before the tip of the spear. The white-robed man was using a finger to stop the fiend’s sure-kill spear attack…
