Chapter 184.2: From Jiang Empire
Wang Wenqi's pursuer entered a dilapidated courtyard. His black robe concealed him from top to bottom, making his features impossible to discern.
An ugly man stood before him. Like a sewer rat crawling out of a brothel, he still reeked of cheap rouge and powder. "My lord."
The black-robed man frowned. "How are the new gods stationed in Feihuang City doing?"
His order to capture Wang Wenqi was foiled by the No-Food Sect people. Outmatched, he had come seeking help.
The ugly man's expression turned complicated. "I heard that all the nearby new gods have been killed."
The black-robed man's heart tightened. "Oh? Who did it?"
"Lots of rumors going around. Some say it was the Five Great Families, some say it was the Ancient God Circle, and some say it was Qiyuann Sovereign."
The black-robed man raised an eyebrow, displeasure rising. "Who is that?"
The ugly man replied, "I heard he's an ancient god—no, a new god."
"Explain clearly," the black-robed man retorted, suppressing his anger.
"Right. He's an ancient god who defected to the new gods. It seems he's responsible for receiving Venerable Taiyi."
"Are you certain?" the black-robed man asked restrainedly.
