CHAPTER TEXT:
How has the Six-Winged lived on Earth? It can be said to be good, and it can also be said to be bad.
Although it lived in Ying City and was protected by Cloud Summit, it did not belong to Cloud Summit. In fact, the Cloud Summit People had an innate hostility towards it.
There was no way around it; after all, this fellow had killed someone in Cloud Summit in the beginning.
At the same time, Ye Zhongming's attitude determined that the Six-Winged could never be accepted, because Ye Zhongming himself did not accept it.
For a long time, Ye Zhongming regarded this avatar as a tool to be exploited, and he is still doing so now.
Given this, the Six-Winged could not live a good life.
However, Cloud Summit only monitored it and did not interfere much with what it did.
The Six-Winged went hunting by itself, and the prey was much more plentiful than during its time in the secret realm, while the overall strength of its targets was weaker.
It discovered that as long as it did not do anything harmful to Cloud Summit or Ying City, basically, whatever it did, Ye Zhongming would not intervene.
During this time, the Six-Winged made rapid progress and its strength improved quickly.
But in the end, it was just an avatar. Even though it was cut off from its main body across the entire space-time, it could not completely eliminate that bloodline connection. It could not fulfill its dream of becoming a ninth-level life.
At that time, it knew that one day it would need to return to the secret realm to find a way to obtain the main body's inheritance.
So when it learned that Cloud Summit was finally going to make a move against the Nine-Winged Crow, it was actually the happiest one.
Now, an opportunity to obtain the inheritance was right in front of it, even the best opportunity—much simpler than personally killing the main body!
The Six-Winged acted; it had to act because it could already sense that if it could not obtain the main body's inheritance in a short period, it would ultimately die.
After all, it was part of the Nine-Winged Crow.
If the main body died, how could it possibly survive?
It never expected that the process of contention would be so smooth. Not only did the main body fail to detect it due to serious injury, but it also made an offensive against its surroundings, giving it an opportunity to exploit.
The opportunity seemed almost within reach.
But a bullet shattered its dreams.
Its body felt as if struck by a gigantic hammer, veering off to the side, while its fingertips brushed past the inheritance orb. Those who had never experienced such despair could not comprehend it.
The Six-Winged howled and cast a resentful glare at Ye Zhongming.
That gunshot, of course, was fired by Ye Zhongming. Seeing the look in the Six-Winged's eyes, he showed no fear but instead returned a glance.
The meaning was clear: "You can't touch what I don't want you to."
The Six-Winged missed the opportunity but gave others a chance. Whether it was Yangos, the demons, or the battle beasts from Ten Thousand Beast Manor, all rushed towards the inheritance orb.
Now, there were no ninth-level lives to obstruct them.
The melee immediately began.
"Humans, are you going to destroy our agreement?" At this moment, the monster commander had no advantage whatsoever. In this crucial moment for the ninth-level inheritance, its commands were weak and no monster obeyed.
It could naturally launch mental attacks, but the effect would be greatly reduced. Instinct was the strongest force at this moment, rejecting all external forces. If it forcibly activated its control abilities, lower-level monsters might be manageable, but those high-level monsters could completely resist due to their instincts. At that time, it would become the enemy and be attacked, which was a near-certain death for a mental-type being without subordinates.
The monster commander could only pin its hopes on Ye Zhongming, either through intimidation or pleading.
Ye Zhongming's gaze had not left the floating orb; he seemed not to have heard the monster commander's words.
