God of Pets-Chapter 596: Kicked Out

"You are strong, and I quite like this solitary nature of yours. It’s a pity, though, that you are not the destined one. Otherwise, I would truly consider passing this legacy on to you. Such a pity... such a pity..." The look on River God’s face was full of regret.

"It doesn’t matter. If I’m not the destined one, then why not shatter this destiny?" Chu Kuangsheng took a step forward, soaring into the sky, his long hair wildly dancing in the wind, as he threw a punch at the River God.

"Go ahead, perhaps there will be another battle between us in the future, but not now." Light surged forth from the River God’s body, so bright it blinded everyone around.

The next second, Chu Kuangsheng and the others found themselves outside the Imperial Palace.

Boom!

Chu Kuangsheng punched the gate of the Imperial Palace, but it merely swayed slightly without sustaining any damage.

"Where is the Scale Map, give me the Scale Map." Chu Kuangsheng reached out to ask the Chu Family members for the map.

"We can’t get in." A soldier from the Chu Family pointed to the side of the gate, where someone was holding the Scale Map, attempting to enter the Imperial Palace, but was bounced back.

"Ah! My elder brother hasn’t come out!" At that moment, Ma Xiaolong rushed forward madly, trying to break through the gate and enter the Imperial Palace.

Even with the Scale Map in hand, he was still flung out, repeatedly.

"Move aside." Chu Kuangsheng shoved Ma Xiaolong aside, his fists gathering primordial energy, as a divine phantom arose from his body — an anomaly of hidden power.

Boom!

The force that could shatter everything landed on the gate of the Imperial Palace, yet the gate merely wobbled with not a single scratch.

Everyone’s expression changed, the Three Heroes of the Xia Family glanced around, and not seeing Chen Guan, they roughly guessed the situation.

Chen Guan had forced hundreds of unparalleled treasures from the River God, and also took the Mountain and River Map; how could the River God let him go easily?

Probably he was left inside alone, as the River God intended to take all the treasures from him, especially the Mountain and River Map.

"Try smashing a wall!" Xia Guagua called Xia Huang and Xia Hua, and the three of them joined forces to create an aura, rotating it to cut toward the walls of the Imperial Palace.

The result was that the aura shattered, leaving the walls of the Imperial Palace entirely unscathed.

"Damn it." Xia Guagua cursed.

By now, everyone realized that the person’s situation was likely dire.

Originally thinking the victory was complete, they didn’t expect the River God to have such a move and evict them all from the Imperial Palace.

Now inside the Imperial Palace, only Chen Guan and the River God remained.

Chen Guan frowned, watching as the River God slowly descended from the crescent moon, as if an immortal walking down a cloud path from the heavens.

"You should not have forced me. If you had just honestly taken those unparalleled treasures and the Mountain and River Map and left, it would already have been the best result for you. But you insisted on leaving your life here, what is this for?" The River God landed back atop the mountain, gazing at Chen Guan with a sigh: "Now, you must leave those treasures, and your life too."

"I also want to leave, but you’re not offering enough. Just this little, and you expect me to take the blame, am I that worthless? If you want me to take the blame, just tell me, and if you add a bit more, I can cooperate. Why go through such trouble?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"You no longer need to take the blame." The River God said coolly, growing increasingly displeased with Chen Guan.

"So, there really is another inheritor you’ve chosen. Who is it?" Chen Guan asked with a grin.

"For a dead person, it doesn’t matter who." River God said, slowly raising his hand.

"Are you sure you can kill me? Or should I ask, how do you know the dead one won’t be you?" Chen Guan calmly retorted.

"No need to bluff; this old man has the Eye of Heaven’s Insight to view your level. You’re merely a freshly awakened fourth-level cultivator at level 31, with limited techniques and no chance against me. Not to mention there’s also remains of Secret Spirits suppressed on the Heavenly River Path here." River God said lightly.

"You say these Secret Spirits are corpses?" Chen Guan was surprised as he looked around at nearly a thousand Secret Spirits.

"Otherwise? You didn’t really think Wu Zhiqi, Xiangliu, and Feng Fengshi were only capable of this much, right? They’ve long been dead, sealed within the ice cliff. They’re merely corpses, and what I’ve summoned are assembled from remains. If the real Wu Zhiqi were here, you all would’ve been wiped out long ago, unable to survive to this point." The River God explained.

"Then who killed them and sealed their corpses within the ice cliff?" Chen Guan asked.

"An unimaginable existence for you. You’ve already disrupted my plan, no more wasting time. Now, you can die." River God waved his hand, and the Secret Spirits surged toward Chen Guan like a tide.

"Afraid you’ll have to waste a bit more time." Chen Guan’s mind stirred, and a paperman appeared in front of him.

"As a fourth awakened cultivator, the most you can summon is a level 40 Secret Spirit. What use is that?" River God sneered.

But soon, his smile froze.

Because the Secret Spirits charging at Chen Guan suddenly collapsed, as though their souls were extracted, lying motionless on the ground.

In an instant, the original ferocious Secret Spirits transformed into lifeless dead bodies.

The paperman drifted, landing on Chen Guan’s shoulder, cheekily sitting cross-legged on him, emanating waves of netherworldly energy.

"What kind of pet is that?" River God scrutinized the paperman in astonishment.

He controlled the Secret Spirit corpses with soul-summoning incense, crafted by special secret techniques and materials; unless the incense burnt out, the Secret Spirit corpses shouldn’t fall.

Yet now, the incense burned, but the corpses were soulless, leaving him unable to see the method the paperman employed.

The paperman possessed the Celestial Destiny Star of the Netherworld Emperor; in a world of the dead, the Netherworld Emperor reigns.

Upon hearing River God’s claim that these Secret Spirits were corpses, Chen Guan guessed the paperman might help.

But unexpectedly, its effect was so potent, causing all corpses to collapse without a fight.

What’s more, Chen Guan was pleasantly surprised as the paperman’s netherworldly energy intensified, signaling swift upgrades.

"A pet capable of countering soul corpses is indeed rare; once you’re dead, I’ll claim it and it’s your contribution." River God said abruptly.

"If I’m dead, it will vanish too. How would you obtain it?" Chen Guan pondered.

"I possess soul-summoning techniques. I can ensure you die but remain immortal, serving me forever, transferring everything to me, including your corpse and soul as my slave..." River God’s voice echoed like a devil’s, chilling the heart.
