Chapter 886: New Looks (Part One)
When Fei walked out of the Royal Palace, he had a weird expression on his face.
He couldn’t figure out why Emperor Yassin summoned him from the Martial Saint Mountain to the [Thriving Palace] right after this emperor became a demi-god.
“Just to look at me for a while?” Fei thought to himself.
He stayed in the [Striving Palace] for a little over ten minutes, and this legendary emperor stared at him for a while. Then, Emperor Yassin waved his hand and asked Fei to leave.
From the beginning to the end, the two of them didn’t say anything.
Even though Fei was intelligent, he didn’t know why Emperor Yassin was doing this.
After walking out of the Royal Palace, Fei didn’t linger around. He politely declined the invitations to parties from the high-level officials and nobles, and he directly returned to the Martial Saint Mountain with the eight masters.
…
-Inside a gloomy palace in a majestic and well-guarded noble estate in St. Petersburg-
“Huh? The King of Chambord actually executed Grant and his associates?
Sitting at the head of the table, a person who was enveloped in a cloud of purple, misty energy heard his subordinate’s report and fell into a moment of silence before murmuring to himself.
“The King of Chambord’s boldness sure surprises me. However, he killed nobles in public in front of the Royal Palace, yet the Royal Family didn’t give him any punishment… Eh? What kind of a secret is there? Yassin sure has trust in this little king. Hehe! However, today’s plan is only the first step. The taste of power can even turn father and son into mortal enemies. I want to see how much longer Yassin can still trust this little king, hehehehehe….”
…
When Fei got back to the Martial Saint Mountain with his eight guards, it wasn’t 12 at noon yet, and Fei used this time to teach Little Luffy more about combat techniques.
At noon, Golden Sun Knight Chris Sutton came to visit Fei. After all the prior incidents, Sutton was like Fei’s half-disciple. In the entire empire, Sutton was one of the very few people who could come and go from the Martial Saint Mountain freely.
This time, Sutton was here to ask Fei some questions about cultivation.
The king was very willing to help. Since he had [Demon King’s Sword], he mastered a lot of combat techniques from the Mythical Era. Sutton’s family background was prestigious, and he knew a lot about modern combat techniques. By talking with Sutton, Fei would be able to help himself and also get some cues and clues as to the future of his cultivation.
The two started talking at noon, and it was evening before they finished. Only then did Sutton leave in satisfaction.
In the night, Fei entered Diablo World to continue to kill monsters and level up. He wanted to pass Hell Mode as the Barbarian first and see if there would be any rewards. Except for that, he had to quickly level up all his other six characters which were, Paladin, Assassin, Sorceress, Necromancer, Druid, and Amazon. Then, he could see if Diablo World would change after all seven of his characters passed Hell Mode, giving him the chance to advance into the Demi-God Realm or higher.
During the night, Fei found the young Alchemist Anya who was imprisoned in the [Crystalline Passage] and also defeated Elder Nihlathak who betrayed the Barbarian Clan, completing both quests, [Prison of Ice] and [Betrayal of Harrogath].
According to the plot, the despicable traitor Nihlathak already gave the Relic of the Ancients to Baal, so Baal could enter the [Worldstone Chamber] by passing through the [Arreat Summit] without having to fight the three Ancient Ones.
Now, Fei had to get to the [Arreat Summit] and challenge the three Ancient Ones before entering the [Worldstone Chamber] and defeat Baal to stop it from staining the Worldstone. Then, Fei would have passed Normal Mode, Nightmare Mode, and Hell Mode as the Barbarian.
Chapter 886: New Looks (Part Two)
After completing [Prison of Ice] and [Betrayal of Harrogath], Fei’s Barbarian character was already Hell Mode level 91, and he got a lot of gold coins, potions, and four legendary items. Unfortunately, the other components of the [Immortal King] Item Set that Fei was hoping for didn’t appear.
On the second day, Fei decided to leave St. Petersburg and returned to Chambord City after training his spirit energy in the morning.
After the battle with D’Alessandro, the Gold Saints and Priest Jessie already returned to Chambord City.
Now, Fei planned everything at the Martial Saint Mountain, and he left the mountain with Little Luffy who wanted to see the world, heading back to Chambord.
With Fei’s strength, he could get back to Chambord City in a few minutes if he flew in the sky.
However, since Little Luffy had stayed on the Martial Saint Mountain for a long time, he wanted to see the scenery along the way.
Fei was willing to let this disciple of his who was born in a noble family to see and experience the life of ordinary citizens. By getting close to the people, Little Luffy would have a better understanding of the world and wouldn’t get arrogant and ignorant like most of the nobles.

Therefore, they went to a few places and paused frequently. They only got into the territory of Chambord after four days.
After close to one year of careful management by the big and small officials who were promoted by Chambord, the cities of Chambord Kingdom no longer looked weak and poor.
The territory of Chambord felt very different from other kingdoms and empires in the region. Even the most ordinary people had cheerful smiles on their faces, and Fei would bring Little Luffy into every town and village that they passed to get a feel.
Out of Fei’s two disciples, Inzagi was from the poor neighborhood of Hot Spring Gate, and he experienced the struggles in life and had a feel for the ordinary people. However, Luffy was different. He was from the Xuelun Kingdom, and his father was the famous [One Sword]. Although he wasn’t that spoiled, he was in the noble circle, making him feel superior and look down on the ordinary people.
Before Fei traveled through space and time, he was only a normal university student. His parents passed away when he was young, and he went through a lot of hardship. Therefore, he could be considered to be at the bottom of the social ladder.
Once he came to this world, his view of things was different from the haughty nobles. He had high hopes for this disciple, so he didn’t want Luffy to become someone like Grant or Arshavin.
Now, Fei finally realized that it was freaking hard to be a good teacher.
Little Luffy was a good kid, and he gradually understood Fei’s intention along the way.
After three more days, the two finally arrived at Zuli River.
Looking ahead, the green mountains extended to the horizon, making the scenery seem majestic, and Chambord City was inlaid in the picture like a pearl.
Now, Chambord City was very different. As Fei got more famous, the population of Chambord increased by many folds, and Chambord City was also expanded.
Different from the lonely city to the north of Zuli and the grass plain to the south of Zuli, Chambord City was renovated and upgraded, and a lot of shrines, markets, buildings, and god statues were being built on the south bank of Zuli River with new roads extending in all directions.
A lot of people were walking around, and the chattering and noises could be heard. A big town was being built right beside Chambord City, making the area seem prosperous.
Fei stood by Zuli River and got a little emotional.
“Wow! Master, that is so big! What… is that?” Little Luffy suddenly saw something, and he was stunned. He quickly raised his hand and pointed at it before asking Fei.
