Chapter 0535: Still in Shock

Geral fell backward, crashing to the ground and sending sand and stones flying. A clear imprint of five fingers was left on his right cheek, swollen like a pig’s head. As he got up, he stared in disbelief at Huang Long and the others. Though he didn’t know who had done it, it must have been them.
How dare someone actually attack the members of the Gabli family on Ophi Island?! It was truly outrageous! Geral was filled with both shock and anger.
When the two elite divine guards regained their senses, they quickly rushed to Geral’s side. “Young master, are you alright?!” The sudden change caught them off guard.
Fueled by anger, Geral raised his hands and slapped the two hard, shouting, “Are you blind?! You know the answer!”
The elite divine guards had originally been worried about Geral but instead faced his anger. Though they dared not speak out, they stepped aside and stood guard by his side.
At that moment, Bog broke free from Geral’s spatial restriction, and Maki regained her freedom. She hurried over to Long Yi.
“Brother Long Yi!” Maki hugged Long Yi, tears in her eyes. “How badly are you hurt?”
Long Yi replied gently, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Seeing this, a vicious glint flashed in Geral’s eyes.
Huang Long, though unaware of the exact reason, guessed it was likely due to this woman. Long Yi must have been in love with her, which led to her attacking them.
Just then, a sound of something breaking through the air came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw dozens of figures rushing toward them at great speed, arriving in the blink of an eye.
“Manager Tonifi, you’ve arrived!” Geral smiled upon seeing them and spoke to the middle-aged man with purple hair at the front.
“Young master Geral!” The middle-aged man with purple hair bowed respectfully to everyone.
Geral waved his hand, telling them to stand up, then pointed at Huang Long and the others with a fierce expression. “These people attacked us just now. Manager Tonifi, you know what to do now!”
Manager Tonifi understood immediately, bowed respectfully, then turned to look at Huang Long and the others.
Since Geral had mentioned that there were over fifty of them, all likely elite gods, he brought along the Gabli family’s elite divine guards, all of whom were at least at Level 6 of the King of the Underworld. Although there were only over sixty of them, he believed it was enough—after all, he himself was a powerhouse at Level 8 of the King of the Underworld!

Over sixty of Tonyfi’s men rushed forward. While Bradd and the others were waiting for Huang Long’s orders before taking action, two figures flashed into motion and attacked Tonyfi’s men—none other than Huang Yi and Huang Liang, who had been itching to fight all along. Following them, Huang Wei also joined the fight.

“Master?” Ya Mo and the others asked Huang Long for instructions. Bog and Bradd also stared at Huang Long. Huang Long replied calmly, “No need.” He was well aware of the strength of Huang family’s members and knew they were more than enough to handle these people. He didn’t want to dampen Huang Yi and the others’ enthusiasm, so he stepped out of the Five Elements Space. They had long wanted to find someone to “test their skills”; otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked about the combat platform earlier. Thus, Huang Long allowed them to have their fun and fight to their heart’s content.

Over the years, Huang Long had been in seclusion cultivating, while Huang family’s members stayed by his side. Although it ensured their safety, it also restricted their freedom. Huang Long felt guilty toward them. “Once this matter is settled, I’ll let Huang Yi and the others settle down. They don’t need to keep following me around!” he thought to himself. This matter, of course, referred to the Morley issue.

At that moment, screams kept coming. Huang Long looked over and saw the guards of the Gabuli family being knocked back one after another by Huang Yi and her group. Huang Xiong, intrigued, had also arrived there. Mai Qi, who had initially looked panicked upon seeing the Gabuli family’s guards approaching, was now stunned by what she saw. Gerard also looked utterly incredulous. His two elite divine guards had long been unconscious, their fate unknown.

“Young master, run away quickly!” After being forced to retreat step by step by Huang Liang, Tonyfi finally spoke urgently. The opponent’s strength far exceeded his expectations. In the blink of an eye, half of the guards he brought with him were already lying on the ground. If this continued, total defeat was only a matter of time. Moreover, only four of them were fighting, while the rest stood there watching like spectators. What did this mean?! Tonyfi was drenched in cold sweat.

Hearing Tonyfi’s words, Gerard finally snapped out of his daze. Ignoring everything else, he tried to fly away toward the center of the island. But as soon as he took off, a figure flashed before him—a middle-aged man, none other than Bradd. Seeing Bradd, Gerard recognized him as one of the men with the black-haired youth. Shocked, he threw a punch at Bradd with all his might, shouting, “Get out of my way!” The destructive power of his divine force was immense.

Brade watched as the opponent attacked him, a cold smirk on his lips. He stretched out his hand, and under Gerard’s terrified gaze, a golden light flashed—Gerard’s attack vanished, and then he was thrown back by someone grabbing him by the neck. Gerard crashed to the ground, sand and stones flying everywhere. “Young master!” Tonifi heard Gerard’s screams, turned around, and saw him thrown back by Brade. Shocked, she quickly pushed Huang Yi away with all her strength, rushed to Gerard’s side, and hurriedly helped him up. “Young master, how are you?!” Tonifi asked anxiously. Gerard spat out a mouthful of blood and didn’t answer. Instead, he stared at Brade in horror. Though he wasn’t an eighth-level Dark King warrior, he was quite strong among the direct disciples of the Gabli family—seventh-level Dark King. Yet against Brade, he had not even a chance to resist. This was something even Tonifi couldn’t do. And it seemed like the opponent hadn’t intended to kill him; otherwise, he would have died long ago. Tonifi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Gerard was only severely injured. Brade hadn’t killed Gerard because of Huang Long’s orders; otherwise, Gerard wouldn’t have been able to stand at all. As Gerard and Tonifi were still puzzled, the continuous screams gradually faded. The more than sixty people brought by Tonifi were all lying on the ground. Just as Tonifi was about to speak, a shout came: “Who’s causing trouble in our Sak family?!” Then, hundreds of figures rushed through the air. The intense fighting here finally alerted the Sak family’s patrol guards. Seeing the newcomers, Tonifi and Gerard both smiled in relief and went to meet them. “Captain Stuo, you came just in time!” it was Gerard who spoke. “Gerard.” The silver-haired old man at the front was also surprised to see Gerard. Then, looking at the dozens of high-ranking gods lying on the ground in Gabli family robes in the distance, he frowned. “What’s going on?!” Gerard pointed at Long Yi and said angrily, “It’s this kid! Machi met him secretly behind my back. I caught them in the act and ruined their plans. Who would have thought he’d bring a bunch of helpers to hurt my Gabli family guards!” Machi was his fiancée. Though it would be shameful if others found out about her meeting another man behind his back, Gerard knew that now, with things having escalated like this, he couldn’t hide it anymore. So, he simply told them everything at that moment.

“Captain Sto, regarding this matter, I hope the Sak family can give an explanation to the Gabli family!” Gerard said hatefully, looking at Huang Long and the others.
Huang Yi, Bradd, and the rest had shown astonishing strength, but their Gabli family wasn’t easily intimidated either. Of course, if their opponent were a Great Perfection being, that would be another story. But Gerard didn’t think he’d be so lucky as to encounter one. Moreover, the fact that Long Yi, a mere mid-tier god, knew such an extraordinary warrior already shocked him—how could he possibly know a Great Perfection being? Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to serve as a guard in the Sak family.
After hearing Gerard’s words, the guards from the Sak family who had arrived were stunned. So that’s how it was?! They all turned to look at Long Yi and Maki.
Sto also frowned. Although he didn’t recognize Long Yi, he could tell from his attire that Long Yi was an external guard hired by their family, while Maki was his niece. Who would have thought she would have a romantic relationship with a mere external guard?!
Feeling the strange looks from everyone, Maki’s face turned red and white alternately as tears welled up in her eyes. She truly loved Long Yi, and the label of “adultery” applied to them made her feel aggrieved.
“Maki, come here!” Sto ordered sternly.
Huang Long and the others now understood what had happened.
“Long Yi, it’s been over a hundred thousand years since we last saw each other. I never expected that not only would you have reached the level of a mid-tier god, but you’d also found your beloved.” Huang Long said with a smile.
Huang Long was happy for Long Yi for having found his true love.
In the Hengyuan realm back then, among the Sea God Apton and the Phoenix couple Simp, Huang Long and Long Yi had the closest relationship.
Knowing Huang Long’s identity, Long Yi wasn’t worried about the Gabli and Sak families. Seeing Huang Long’s joke, he blushed and became awkward, not knowing what to say.
Sto was angered that Huang Long had interrupted him. But since Huang Long and the others had managed to severely injure dozens of high-ranking god guards from the Gabli family, they were quite strong. Sto didn’t dare act rashly. Instead, he roared at Maki, “Maki, I told you to come here! Do you hear me?!” As he roared, Sto secretly sent a message back to his family.
Maki trembled, tears in her eyes, looking at Long Yi. Although she saw that her beloved and his friends were incredibly strong, in her eyes, even their strength couldn’t change their fate.
“Sto, what’s going on here?!” Just then, a sound of breaking through the air came, and then a tall man with black hair appeared before everyone.
“Greetings, Elder Joido!” Sto and the guards from the Sak family quickly bowed upon seeing him.
Tonyfi and Gerard also realized what was happening and, like Sto and the others, quickly bowed as well.

Joeydo had just “escaped” from the Planar Battlefield and was on his way to Ophi Island when he received a message from his family, informing him that trouble had arisen there, so he rushed over. He was determined to see who had the audacity to cause trouble in the Sak family’s territory! After the harrowing experience in the Planar Battlefield, he wanted to find someone to vent his anger and calm his nerves. Joeydo glared fiercely at Yellow Dragon, but when he saw him, his body trembled violently, his eyes widened, and he stammered as if he had witnessed something incredible. Stuo was about to report the events to Joeydo when he noticed Joeydo’s expression and grew puzzled. Then he saw the elder Joeydo tremble violently before flying forward to the black-haired young man, suddenly kneeling down and saying excitedly, “Joeydo of the Sak family greets you, Lord Yellow Dragon!” At the Planar Battlefield, Yellow Dragon was fighting fiercely against the Lord of Light, Elvis, and he was among the gods in the distance. Tonyfi, Gerard, Stuo, Maki, and the others stared in shock at Elder Joeydo kneeling before Yellow Dragon.
