After settling Ian Song in a small courtyard, Snowsun God-King left, taking Mira Skylar with him.
But it wasn’t long before trouble arrived.
Two Upper Heavenly Gods barged in: Luke Luton and Tiger Kass.
Previously, Ian had enslaved them with his puppet divine arts and used them to control the other Heavenly Gods in the mansion, capturing Mira Skylar together. Fortunately, when Snowsun God-King returned, he didn’t hold it against them.
But they considered this the greatest humiliation of their lives, and swore that if they ever ran into Ian again, they’d tear him to pieces.
"Kid, do you remember us?"
Luke Luton glared fiercely at Ian, his eyes full of hostility.
"Of course I remember. What do you want?"
Ian’s expression was indifferent. Forced to come here, he was already simmering with anger—if these two didn’t know their place, he didn’t mind giving them some trouble.
"Good. As long as you remember!"
Tiger Kass said darkly, "Bet you never thought you'd see us again, did you?"
"If you’ve got something to say, say it. If not, get lost!"
Ian snapped, clearly annoyed.
"What? You actually told us to get lost!"
The two stared at Ian in disbelief—mostly angry.
Luke Luton’s face turned dark as he sneered, "Hmph, don’t think you can act out just because you came back with the master. We might not be allowed to kill you, but we can definitely make you suffer!"
"Go ahead and try!"
Ian curled his lip in contempt.
"Courting death!"
With a flash, Luke Luton appeared right in front of Ian and swung his hand at Ian’s cheek.
Smack!
With a crisp slap, Luke Luton was sent flying backward, five bright red finger marks blooming on his left cheek.
"What the—?"
Tiger Kass stared in disbelief—both he and Luke were top-tier Upper Heavenly Gods. Yet, attacking first, Luke had been slapped away by a mere Mid Heavenly God.
"Bastard! I’ll kill you!"
Luke Luton roared furiously and charged at Ian again.
Smack!
But he was sent flying once more.
Ian glanced at Tiger Kass. "Why not both of you come at once?"
"Arrogant brat! Fine, Tiger’ll teach you a lesson!"
The next moment, both attacked at once—but the result was the same: Ian sent them both flying with a single slap.
"I can’t believe this guy’s so strong. Even Uncle Luke and Uncle Tiger can’t do anything to him!"
Watching from the shadows, Mira Skylar exclaimed in surprise.
Snowsun God-King mused, "Mira, that kid’s not simple. Plus, he’s very close with the newly advanced Silverwing God-King and Redmoon God-King. Recently, those two joined forces to cause a huge scene at the Tian and Jensen clans, and both clans chose to swallow their pride. So, don’t mess around with him in the future."
"Pfft, what’s there to be afraid of? Dad, you’re already a mid-stage God-King—even those two together couldn’t beat you!"
Mira Skylar replied, unconcerned.
Snowsun God-King chuckled, "That may be true, but there’s no need to offend two God-Kings for no reason."
Mira Skylar nodded. "Got it, Dad. I’m just messing with him because I’m still mad about what happened before—I won’t really do anything serious."
Just then, a sudden voice boomed over the mansion: "Snowsun God-King, you’ve got some nerve—how dare you capture this King’s little brother!"
As the words faded, two figures appeared above the mansion—none other than Silverwing God-King and Redmoon God-King themselves.
"Is this for real...?"
Staring at the sudden arrival of Silverwing God-King and Redmoon God-King, Mira Skylar was left speechless.
Even Snowsun God-King was caught off guard—he hadn’t expected these two to care so much about Ian, or to show up so quickly.
"Sis, Brother Galen!"
Ian shot up into the sky, appearing alongside them.
"Little brother, are you okay?"
Redmoon God-King asked, her face full of concern.
"I’m fine, just took a bit of a beating," Ian replied.
"Hmph! They dared to rough you up? Watch me get payback for you!"
With that, Redmoon God-King appeared right in front of Snowsun God-King and threw a palm strike at him.
"Redmoon God-King, hold your hand! Let me explain!"
Snowsun God-King shouted and struck out with his own palm.
Boom!
Their palms collided in midair. Redmoon God-King was sent flying, while Snowsun God-King staggered back two steps before steadying himself. He stared at Redmoon God-King in shock—she’d just overcome the God-King Tribulation, so how was her strength already comparable to a late-stage Lower God-King?
What he didn’t know was that during her tribulation, Redmoon God-King had gained immense benefits from a Divine Emperor artifact. Upon becoming a God-King, she’d reached the peak of Lower God-King strength. Plus, she had two innate divine spirits, both nearly as strong as she was.
If she summoned her two innate divine spirits, the three God-King-level powers together would make even Snowsun God-King no match for her.
Otherwise, why would old God-King clans like the Tian and Jensen families bow their heads to the two of them?
"Again!"
A cold glint flashed in Redmoon God-King’s eyes as she charged at Snowsun God-King again.
A look of helplessness flashed in Snowsun God-King’s eyes, then he soared into the sky—this wasn’t the place for a fight.
Heh heh!
As soon as Snowsun God-King left, Ian turned his mischievous gaze on Mira Skylar.
Her expression instantly tensed. "What are you planning?"
"Did you forget what I said? You better not fall into my hands, or else..."
Mira Skylar retorted, "You wouldn’t dare! Even if Redmoon God-King backs you up, she might not be a match for my dad!"
"Is that so?"
Ian curled his lip in disdain. He knew full well how strong Redmoon God-King was—with two innate divine spirits, there was no way Snowsun God-King could beat her. As he spoke, Ian lunged forward.
He raised his fist and swung it at Mira Skylar.
"Hmph, you really think I’m scared of you?"
Mira Skylar summoned her silver rope again, and at the same time threw out a divine talisman—just like last time, she aimed to bind Ian.
Whoosh!
With a blur, Ian vanished from where he stood.
Bang!
In the next instant, Mira Skylar was sent flying by his attack.
But she was protected by a defensive God-King artifact—its radiant glow dissolved his strike.
"Damn you!"
She wasn’t hurt, but Mira Skylar was furious—a gleaming white spear appeared in her hand.
Another God-King artifact.
No wonder she’s a God-King’s daughter—so many artifacts to spare.
Ian curled his lip, and a black longsword appeared in his own hand.
Attack!
The two clashed in midair, but after just three moves, Ian sent Mira Skylar flying. Just as he was about to pursue, Luke Luton, Tiger Kass, and the other Upper Heavenly Gods rushed in.
"Out of my way!"
Ian glanced at them with disdain and swung his sword—one after another, the Upper Heavenly Gods were blasted away, coughing up blood.
But that gave Mira Skylar time to prepare—she quickly pulled out three divine talismans and threw them.
