Chapter 1095: An Unexpected Situation

The outskirts of the Zongming world were wildly fluctuating with energy, and it was clear that a big battle had taken place.

Upon stepping into the world and seeing that everything was in order, Zhang Lie let out a long sigh of relief. After hearing Nightdemon's words, Zhang Lie had been truly worried about the Zongming world.

Yang Ze asked dubiously, "Was the king of chaos just trying to scare us?" But why?

Zhang Lie frowned. "I don't think the king of chaos would do that. There's no reason to, and no benefit to doing so. Of course, it's possible that Nightdemon did it as a prank, but I don't think that's likely. At any rate, let's go find Li Zongming and ask him what's going on. The calmer everything looks, the more likely it is that something has happened."

As they entered the Zongming palace, they found Li Zongming fretting.

Zhang Lie hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Li Zongming sighed. "I'm sorry, Zhang Lie."

Yang Ze asked, "What happened?"

Li Zongming sighed again. "That Gold Comet you were raising was taken away by the king of keys' henchmen."

"What?!"

Li Zongming explained what had happened.

Li Zongming and Gold Comet, working together, had easily suppressed the king of black fog's avatar. However, the king of keys had sent a subordinate over to deal with Li Zongming, and Li Zongming and Gold Comet were hard-pressed to deal with both combatants simultaneously.

Thankfully, Zhang Lie had slain the king of black fog, and his avatar was dispelled mid-fight.

Li Zongming continued apologetically, "We thought that the fight would be over the moment the king of black fog's avatar vanished, but the king of keys' subordinate kidnapped Gold Comet!"

Yang Ze asked, "Why?"

Li Zongming replied, "He seemed to have been very interested in Gold Comet, for some reason."

Zhang Lie pursed his lips. "The king of keys, hmm? This matter isn't over yet."

If he were going to meddle in Zhang Lie's business like that, Zhang Lie wasn't going to let him get off scot-free.

Li Zongming apologized again. "I really am sorry for both not being able to stop the king of keys' subordinate and for allowing Gold Comet to be captured."

Zhang Lie waved a hand. "It's not your fault. You've already worked very hard to secure the Zongming world, and there was little else you could do. In terms of responsibility, I do take some responsibility for not dealing with the king of black fog quickly enough. Rest assured, I'll be heading to the king of keys' domain to reclaim Gold Comet."

Zhang Lie made up his mind right then and there.

Li Zongming also nodded. "I'll support you as much as I can."

Zhang Lie waved a hand. "Let me see how the other two superior worlds are doing right now."

Right after Zhang Lie and Yang Ze finished their discussions with Li Zongming, Sun Mengmeng and Zhou Ying's groups returned from their respective worlds.

Sun Mengmeng's eyes lit up. "Captain, you and Yang Ze are back already?"

Sun Xiaowu asked, "How did things go with the world of black fog and the unclean world?"

Yang Ze's chest puffed up. "Is there anything our captain can't handle? Of course not!"

Everyone in Team Zenith nodded, agreeing with the sentiment.

Upon seeing all the members of Team Zenith gathered back here, Li Zongming asked, "Have you all succeeded?"

Li Feng smiled. "We would be too embarrassed to return if we didn't."

"We killed all the superior kings we were responsible for," Sun Mengmeng replied, nodding.

Even though Li Zongming had been prepared for this, he couldn't help but be shocked. The eight young men and women in front of him had made history in the third realm, setting an astounding record by vanquishing so many superior kings of antiquity at once.

The destruction of even a single superior world of antiquity was a major affair, and yet they had dealt with four of them in rapid succession. It was no surprise that Li Zongming was so shocked.

The members of Team Zenith ignored Li Zongming's stupefaction. Zhang Lie glanced at Sun Xiaowu, Sun Mengmeng, and Zhang Hanxiang.

"All of you seem to have grown stronger than before."

Sun Mengmeng smiled. "I knew we wouldn't be able to hide it from you."

Sun Xiaowu scratched his head in embarrassment. "We encountered two monarch-grade lifeforms in the white world. After we slew them, we consumed them."

Zhang Hanxiang smiled. "We each managed to get ten more monarch gene fragments than we started with! Brother, aren't we amazing? Praise me!"

Zhang Lie reached out and patted Zhang Hanxiang on the head.

"Well done. You've all worked hard."

The other members of Team Zenith weren't jealous. This was a rare opportunity, and they could hardly begrudge the hunters for taking advantage of it. In addition, the monarch-grade lifeforms' flesh would only grant gene fragments to those who killed it.

Zhang Lie turned to the other three. "But Zhou Ying seems to have grown stronger than all three of you combined."

Zhou Ying had a gentle smile on her face. "I was lucky enough to encounter a similar lifeform. After absorbing its strength, although I didn't gain any gene fragments, I was able to enhance my biological status. It allowed me to shore up my weaknesses."

Li Feng sighed. "Why couldn't we have gotten as lucky?"

Yang Ze patted him on the shoulder. "I know just how you feel, don't worry."

While the hunters were chatting, a huge black shadow appeared beyond the Zongming world.

Sun Mengmeng instantly grew alert. "What's that?"

As the huge shadow appeared over the Zongming world's airspace, the members of Team Zenith all looked up. Could it be another superior world?

Li Zongming smiled. "Don't worry. The world of black rain has finally arrived."

Zhang Hanxiang's eyes lit up. "Hong Xi's back, then?"

Li Zongming teleported everyone beyond the Zongming world, where they saw the world of black rain steadily moving toward them.

However, the world of black rain was in tatters. Li Zongming frowned. "The damage is worse than anticipated..."

When Hong Xi sensed the members of Team Zenith, she immediately waved toward them and flew over.

"I'm back, Master!"

Zhang Lie nodded. "You've worked hard."

Hong Xi beamed.

Zhang Hanxiang hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand. "How was the journey?"

Hong Xi shook her head. "It was terribly boring. Except for the start, where I had to deal with the king of evil's clone, I spent the rest of the time zoning out on the world of black rain, waiting as it slowly moved toward the Zongming world. I was contemplating whether or not it would be possible to push it from behind. How about you?"

Zhang Hanxiang smiled. "I had a great time! I obtained ten monarch gene fragments!"

Hong Xi didn't get jealous. She was very impressed by her friend's fortuitous gain, and her smile was genuine.

As Zhang Lie watched the two young women chat, he couldn't help but smile as well—for his student, and for his sister, for having found such good friends in each other...
