God of Pets

Chapter 974 Blood Relatives?
Longyue was startled and couldn't help but look at Chen Guan.

Mi Xiang was even more surprised than her. She noticed that Chen Guan was different, but she only thought that Chen Guan was an unparalleled genius among the Serpent Clan. She developed a love for talent and wanted to cultivate another talent for the Serpent Clan.

Now that the Soul Devourer God said this, she looked at Chen Guan in disbelief.

"Spirit Devourer, what do you mean?" Long Yue felt guilty, thinking that the Spirit Devourer had discovered that Chen Guan had helped her pass the previous two trials, so her voice was no longer as firm.

But then she thought again, the Sky Garden hadn't said anything about not being allowed to have help, so even if the Soul Devourer knew that Chen Guan had helped her, so what?

The invisible force that had been holding Longyue suddenly loosened, freeing her.

The Soul Devourer said calmly, "If he comes to try this challenge, he might have a chance to enter the Hanging Gardens."

Upon hearing this, Longyue was both surprised and delighted.

She already understood that Chen Guan was no ordinary Serpent Clan member and must be extremely powerful, but she never imagined that Chen Guan could fight against the Devouring Spirit God.

Mika was even more surprised when she heard this.

She had already had some doubts, and now, hearing what the Soul Devourer God said, she was even more certain that Chen Guan was probably not a member of the Serpent Clan.

She had previously thought that Chen Guan had a special way of concealing his aura, and that he must be from the Serpent Clan.

It seems that things are not so simple now. How could the Soul Devourer God recognize a rising star of the Serpent Clan?

Longyue and Mixiang couldn't help but look at Chen Guan, but their thoughts were completely different.

Longyue's gaze was pleading, while Mixiang's was inquisitive; she wanted to know who Chen Guan really was.

Chen Guan was not flustered. When he saw that the secret spirit guarding the Sky Garden was the Soul Devourer God, he knew that his identity could no longer be hidden.

When the Devouring God descended upon the Divine Continent, he had seen him once, so how could he not recognize him?

"You want me to pass the test?" Chen Guan asked the Soul Devouring God.

Now that they're on someone else's turf, it's too late to run away. Chen Guan can only try to figure out what the Soul Devouring God is up to.

"Perhaps there is something you wish to see within the Hanging Gardens," the Soul Devourer God said calmly.

"What is that?" Chen Guan asked, frowning, not expecting the Soul Devouring God to say such a thing.

"If you can rush in, you will naturally be able to see it." The Soul Devourer's answer once again surprised Chen Guan.

Chen Guan thought that the Soul Devourer wanted to force him to enter the Sky Garden, but according to the Soul Devourer, Chen Guan still had to get past him first if he wanted to enter the Sky Garden.

"What if I can't break through?" Chen Guan asked, staring at the Devouring Spirit God.

"Then let's come again next time," the Soul Devourer said casually.

Chen Guan was a little uneasy about the Soul Devourer's attitude.

He was a rather suspicious person to begin with, yet the Soul Devourer was so fearless, as if he was certain that he would want to enter the Hanging Gardens.

"What exactly is the Spirit Devourer God talking about?" Chen Guan pondered to himself.

But he really couldn't figure out what in this Sky City could possibly be related to him.

"Could it be...humans..." Chen Guan thought and thought, but could only come up with one answer.

There's really nothing in the Sky Secret Realm that Chen Guan could possibly have in common with.

If we had to pinpoint a specific person, it would be the humans who were previously brought into the Sky Garden. Since Ji Changsheng is here, other humans might also be within the Sky Garden. And if we think even further ahead, is it possible that the Emperor Ancestor and the Qin Iron Cavalry are also within this Sky Garden?
It's possible that the Emperor Ancestor and the Great Qin Iron Cavalry were suppressed by the Devouring Spirit God back then.

Although Chen Guan wanted to know their whereabouts, he didn't feel it was absolutely necessary. In comparison, he was more concerned about saving his own life.

But he knew even more clearly that since the Devouring God had recognized him, no matter where he hid, even if he returned to Shenzhou, he would not be safe.

The Soul Devourer can freely travel between the Divine Continent and the Sky Secret Realm. Even if he hides back in the Divine Continent, it wouldn't be difficult for the Soul Devourer to cause him trouble if he really wanted to.

Even though he knew that the Devouring Spirit God's intentions were not simple, Chen Guan could only pretend not to know and continue to play along with him.

"Then I'll see what's inside this Sky Garden." Chen Guan said, leaping into the air and heading towards the Sky Garden.

"Wait, if he enters the Sky Garden, does that mean my Virgin Clan has successfully escaped Sky City?" Longyue asked hurriedly.

"Yes," the Soul Devourer replied with only one word.

Chen Guan suddenly accelerated, pushing his speed to its limit, and headed towards the entrance of the Sky Garden.

What seemed like a long distance was covered by Chen Guan in the blink of an eye, and he had already rushed to the entrance of the garden.

He had thought that he would be like Long Yue, dragged out by the incredible power of the Soul Devouring God and brought directly to the Soul Devouring God.

But the next second, he had already successfully rushed into the Sky Garden without encountering any resistance.

“Damn… the Soul Devourer…” Chen Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Soul Devourer really didn’t even bother to act or pretend before letting him in.

Chen Guan surveyed the scene inside the rooftop garden, but what he saw made his eyes widen in astonishment.

Outside the Sky Garden, Longyue and Mixiang were waiting for the Soul Devouring God to unleash his power and drag Chen Guan out.

But after waiting for a while, Chen Guan did not come out from inside, and the Devouring Spirit God did not make any move.

"Go back. The Virgin Clan can leave Sky City. Go and take your people to complete the departure procedures." The voice of the Devouring God came, making Long Yue almost unable to believe her ears.

"Successful just like that?" Long Yue couldn't believe it. After a long pause, as if she had just realized something, she gritted her teeth and looked at the Soul Devouring God, asking, "What about him?"

“He can come out whenever he wants; no one will stop him,” said the Soul Devourer God.

Hearing what the Soul Devourer God said, Long Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Virgin Clan was able to break away from Sky City entirely because of Chen Guan's existence. If something were to happen to Chen Guan because of this, she would find it difficult to feel at ease.

"What is your relationship with him?" Longyue was still worried and asked again.

"My blood flows in his veins..." The words of the Soul Devourer shocked Longyue and Mixiang beyond measure.

The whole world knows that the Soul Devourer is a unique being, but the Soul Devourer's words clearly indicate that Chen Guan is his child, or at least a blood descendant.

"Is this true?" Longyue still couldn't believe it. She had never heard of the Devouring Spirit God having blood relatives.

"If not for that, could you have gotten this far?" the Soul Devourer asked calmly.

Longyue suddenly understood everything: "So that's how it is. No wonder he's so powerful and knows how to break the human and Moqin's abilities. So that's how it is..."

Mi Xiang's expression was even more complicated; she still couldn't believe that Chen Guan was actually a descendant of the Soul Devouring God.
