Starting with Panlong, the Swallowed Star Universe

Chapter 38 Preparation

Several years later, at Jade Cold Mountain.

Amy hurried to the courtyard where Jag lived.

"Brother, I have news!"

Jugger, who was in the middle of his training, opened his eyes.

"Sis, what's the news?"

"We've found Raymond!" Amy said. "Demon Castle just gave us intelligence that a demon saw Raymond in White Pine City. He's been living in White Pine City."

"White Pine City?"

A map of Hongyang Prefecture immediately appeared in Jag's mind.

Baisong City is one of the ten cities of Hongyang Prefecture. The distance from Yuhan Mountain to Baisong City is far, and it would take several years to travel by metal lifeform.

"I'll send the avatar of the God of Light over there right away," Jagger said.

His avatar of the God of Light had remained in Blue Maple City to prevent Raymond from making contact with the Butler family within the city, but now that he knew where Raymond was, there was no need to stay there.

"Little brother, don't go over there yet. It would be best to get your God of Light avatar back as soon as possible," Amy said solemnly.

Why?

"We just received the news. Raymond issued the demon quest in White Pine City, and someone has already accepted the quest to kill you."

"Who?" Jag asked curiously.

Even after the Phantom Soul Trio perished, there were still people who dared to take on the mission, which shows that they were very confident in their own abilities.

"It's Bernard, from the Four Divine Beasts family." Amy's expression was grave.

The Four Divine Beasts families are spread across various planes, their fame is so great that it makes her feel somewhat suffocated.

"Bernard!" Jag was not intimidated by the reputation of the Four Divine Beasts family.

He was just surprised.

He had also met Bernard when he was in Dreamland.

The branch of the Four Divine Beasts family on the Purple Thorn Continent belongs to the Azure Dragon clan, and its strongest member is Bernard's father, a seven-star demon.

As for Bernard, he now only has a weak divine avatar left, with the strength of an ordinary high-level god.

While in Dreamland City, Jag had heard that Bernard was going to take the younger members of his family back to the ancestral land of Bloodpeak Continent. He just didn't expect that they hadn't left Purple Thorn Continent yet, and that Bernard had even accepted a mission to deal with him.

"Little brother, I bought information about Bernard from the Demon Castle. He's just an ordinary high god. The strongest person around him is a high god named Kent, who has the strength of a five-star demon. Why do you think they would take on this mission? Don't they know you even defeated the Phantom Soul Trio?" Amy asked, puzzled.

"Because they possess the power of the supreme god," Jag said calmly.

"The power of the Supreme God!" Amy's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Although she knew that the Four Divine Beasts Clan had a main god behind them, in her mind, the power of the main god was an extremely precious thing, something that even most seven-star demons did not possess. She never imagined that an ordinary high-ranking god could also have the power of the main god.

Jag said, "One of the most important reasons why the Four Divine Beasts families can spread across various planes is that they possess inexhaustible divine power, which they can use at will."

Jag has the memories of the original story and is quite familiar with the Four Divine Beasts families.

The Four Divine Beasts family is currently at its peak, with over two hundred powerful members at the Seven-Star Demon level and nearly ten leading figures. These are mainly second-generation bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts and elite descendants like the genius elder "Blue". If we include the chief messengers of the Four Divine Beasts' main god, the number of leading figures would be even greater.

With the support of the four main gods, they have a continuous source of divine power.

With so many powerful individuals and inexhaustible divine power, the Four Divine Beasts Clan ranks among the top families in countless planes.

"Little brother, why don't you go into hiding for a while?" Amy said. "Hell is so big. Once you leave Jade Cold Mountain, it will be very difficult for Bernard to find you."

"Run? Not necessarily." Jag chuckled.

Amy grew anxious: "Little brother, don't be reckless. I know you now possess the strength of a Seven-Star Demon, but that's the Four Divine Beasts family! They have the power of a main god! Besides, can we really bring ourselves to kill them? If you kill Bernard, you'll definitely face endless retaliation from the Four Divine Beasts family. If you don't kill him, you'll be held back, how will you fight?"

Jerg remained silent, his head slightly lowered, lost in thought.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to kill Bernard. Although the Four Divine Beasts were backed by the main gods, the main gods generally wouldn't interfere in the struggles between gods. Even if it was their own descendants, as long as they weren't particularly close, their deaths were simply a matter of life and death.

The Four Divine Beasts Clan now numbers in the millions. If the death of even one of the Four Divine Beasts' chief gods would require their intervention, then the chief gods would have no other tasks to perform.

Among the Four Divine Beasts families, the only ones who cannot be killed are the second-generation bloodlines and some of the younger generations who are specially favored by the main god, such as the genius elder "Blue".

Jag is worried that if he really kills Bernard, the Four Divine Beasts will retaliate. He himself is not afraid, but what about Amy? What about the Joyce family?

Jag thought for a moment and asked, "Sister, how's the matter of buying property in Blue Maple City that I mentioned to you last time going?"

After killing the Phantom Soul Trio, Jag's wealth had reached over one trillion inkstones. Since he had no use for so many inkstones, he wanted to use them to help his family develop.

One of its main uses is to purchase properties in Blue Maple City.

If the Joyce family wants to reach the next level, in addition to having powerful figures like him and Amy, who are six-star and seven-star demons, they also need a sufficient source of income.

Purchasing property within the city is a good way to increase income, and many large families do this.

Amy was taken aback, not understanding why Jag would suddenly ask such a question, but she still answered, "We've already acquired four hotels and three restaurants, and we're still in talks about a few more, but the prices they're asking are a bit high."

Jag said, "Buy more hotels, the more rooms you need. Price isn't an issue. Even a hundred billion inkstones per hotel is fine. The main thing is to act quickly."

"One hundred billion inkstones?" Amy's eyes widened.

Generally speaking, a hotel in the city is worth tens of billions of inkstones. Amy doesn't understand why Jag would suddenly want to acquire it at such a high price.

Jag explained, "Sister, I don't plan to run away. If Bernard dares to come, I dare to kill him. But I'm worried about you all, so I want to move the whole tribe to the city."

"Move to the city?"

"That's right. Our family currently has about 40,000 members. Compared to other families that have hundreds of thousands or even millions of members, it's not a lot. We can manage it."

The Joyce family has only been around for a few hundred years, and in terms of population, it cannot compare with other families that have been around for hundreds of millions of years.

Blue Maple City has a population of over 100 million, so adding these 40,000 people is not a big deal; the main problem is housing.

Jaeger's solution was to acquire the hotel.

Hotels in Blue Maple City typically have one or two hundred rooms. In Hell, rooms are all single-family courtyards, so a dozen or twenty people can squeeze in without any problem. A single hotel can accommodate three or four thousand people. If you buy ten hotels, you can move all your people into the city.
