There were many bystanders assembled near the Montague Building. There were at least over a hundred of them. This matter had already given rise to a commotion in the country, and this resulted in such a clamorous situation.
It was more evident in the scene than on television. That Montague Building which was a landmark seemed like it was sliced off using a giant blade. The concerned staff had inspected the interior and concluded that the fire had occurred due to the damage to the electrical circuits inside the building.
Wang Dingshan asked, "Mr. Jiang, did this really happen due to a space collapse?"
Jiang Xiu didn't say anything and stood still. A white light flickered across his forehead, and the saber pill immediately came out from the divinity source. After becoming a God, the connection with the divinity source had become complete and the saber pill also truly became a part of his body, so there was no need for him to use it as cautiously as he did before.
The saber pill slowly rose up to the sky and reached the place where the building was damaged.
Boom!
The saber pill trembled suddenly, and a powerful saber intent rushed out of it. The awfulness of this saber intent wasn't something humans could imagine. It was just like a hurricane as it crashed ahead.
When the saber intent rushed ahead, it appeared as if an enormous rippled was created in the sky.
Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, "That's not for sure!"
From what he sensed on the scene, it wasn't due to a sword art or saber art as there wasn't any remnant sword intent or saber intent. The saber pill's saber intent would've resonated with it if that were the case. This was Jiang Xiu's Saber Intent Inspection Art. He used sword intent in his previous life and now, he changed it into saber intent. It was one of the secret skills of the Heaven Treading Sect which was used to track an enemy.
As for whether it was a space collapse, he wasn't sure about it.
However, though he couldn't make anything out from the Montague Building, Jiang Xiu had sensed a lot of martial artists as well as unnatural existences here. He guessed that these people must've been drawn over here due to the strange thing which happened to this Montague Building.
"Hmm?"
A European youth seemed to be taking photos of the Montague Building, but in fact, Jiang Xiu had sensed this person take several pictures of himself.
Perhaps because he noticed Jiang Xiu looking at him, he deliberately retook photos of the Montague Building and chatted a bit with the people beside him. He turned around to leave immediately after that.
His actions were especially cautious. He sped up his footsteps and met up with a woman, handing over the camera in hand to her. "It's possible this person is the newly ascended No. 3 Super Demigod on the Demigod Ranking, Jiang Luoxia. Immediately notify the concerned party and pay close attention to him."
The European woman replied with an indifferent expression on her face, "Got it!"
After this meeting, the woman turned into another street and entered a plaza. She sat down on the bench and asked the man who was reading the newspaper there, "Why was there no notice about something huge like Jiang Xiu coming to Gaulle. Why did he come over here? Is what happened to the Montague Building related to him?"
The man reading the newspaper had black hair and matching eyes. He replied to her, "There's no need for you to be so nervous. Our people inside have already confirmed that Jiang Xiu had come to our Gaulle, but it's only for a trip."
The woman sneered, "Are you mad? The No. 1 Demigod of China coming out for a trip? Do you think I'm a 3-year-old child?"
The man said, "No matter what he came to do, we haven't received any mission yet. Moreover, with his strength, there's not a lot we can do to him so just wait for orders from above."
"Aren't your Chinese people quite home-loving and like to stay there?" The woman asked him.
"Mr. Jiang is an exception. He's not even 20 yet, so it's quite normal for him to want to travel to the outside world."
The woman couldn't help but curse out, "20-years-old! That's some motherfucking age to become a Demigod!"
That man laughed out loud as well. It was really shocking for someone to become a Demigod at the age of 20. An exceptional expression couldn't help but well up on his calm face, as if he were basking in glory. "Heaven's Gate has a grievance with him as Buzhi Ming died at his hands so they might act. Mr. Jiang's trip to Europe will definitely keep us busy so tell everyone to stay extremely alert."
A European fat man with a pot belly came over while munching on a hotdog. He placed his foot on the bench beside the fountain and said, "I received information that Mr. Jiang came together with that young lady of the Long family."
The man reading the newspaper couldn't help but reveal astonishment on his face, "The Long family is a branch of Heaven's Gate so how did they get involved with Mr. Jiang? Didn't that Young Lady Long have an engagement with the prince of Korea's Lee family?"
The fatty gobbled up the hotdog and licked his fingers clean before clapping his hands, "That's right!" After this, he acted as if he had come to watch the scenery then gave it a final glance before leaving.
The man reading the newspaper furrowed his brows, "What's happening? The Long family and Korea's Lee family are both branches of Heaven's Gate, why did they get involved with Mr. Jiang?"
The European woman's expression turned solemn, "They aren't planning to invite Mr. Jiang to Heaven's Gate, right?"
The man couldn't remain calm after hearing this.
He was stupefied by such a possibility!
The woman continued, "If Heaven's Gate gives an important position such as the 3rd or the 2nd Monarch title to him, even a super demigod like him would be tempted."
The man's complexion had already turned ashen, "If that happens, China will be in trouble!" He couldn't remain seated anymore and stood up. "This won't do. I need to report this side's circumstances to the higher-ups."
At the same time, inside an ancient castle in Europe.
The charming man, King Alex, entered the meeting room along with a monastery monk wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt. The monk's voice was quite low yet piercing to the ears. "Our guest has arrived, King Alex!"
King Alex said, "Isn't it going according to our expectations?"
The monk stopped walking and leaned on his crutch. "But you forget that we had set the plan back then to take revenge for Buzhi Ming, which had happened before he killed Ji Wudao. Now, his rank has reached the 3rd position on the Demigod Ranking. He's the No. 1 Demigod in China, will be able to kill him?"
He pointed towards a crow resting on a distant withered tree, "Look, the Death God has descended."
King Alex smiled evilly, "Is there someone in this world that we Heaven's Gate can't kill? Even if we can't kill him, he also can't kill me."
He grabbed the amulet hanging on his chest. There were two dragons drawn on this plate. In the underworld, the rumors were that King Alex had a divine artifact called the Yin-Yang Dual Dragons which has the strongest defense and could withstand even an atom bomb's attack.
The monk also smiled and spoke with his broken-bell like voice, "You want to raise your Demigod Ranking?"
King Alex said, "No one cares about that bullshit ranking. It's just a worthless one."
The two of them went inside.
There were already many people inside the meeting room. There were all the Demigods of Heaven's Gate from different parts of the world. They had all gathered together to due to the arrival of China's No. 1 Demigod and this time, the number of people who had come was higher than the numbers which had gathered when Buzhi Ming got killed.
A black-robed man stood at a distance with his back towards them. He had the Longevity Stone which was posted on the auction house in his hand. "Has everyone gathered? Let's begin today's discussion then."
"There's only one topic to discuss. Descend, the nine mythical arts, cleanse the heavens, a thousand years of karma, a heartless heart yet romantic!"
"Jiang Luoxia!"
A man who was donned in a military-like uniform opened his mouth, "We're already ready to cooperate at any time. Even if Jiang Luoxia is powerful, it'll be difficult for him to win against a group of 3-4 Demigods. Let alone, we have gathered so many people."
"Isn't Mister blowing up a small issue into a big one?"
The black-robed man said, "It's not difficult to kill him, but I have a new opinion. Don't we need such a talent in our Heaven's Gate right now? Just like how everyone joined us, we can take Jiang Luoxia in as well."
As soon as these words were spoken, the place quietened down.
"Mister, have you forgotten that he killed Buzhi Ming?"
"It's because we have lost Buzhi Ming that we need someone to make up for the loss of power." The black robed man replied.
Someone said, "This person's background is unknown and so is his character. It'd be too risky to use him. What if we can't control him? That would affect us internally."
"Yes, that's right."
All of them commented on it. Some of them agreed while some were against it, but those who were against it were more in number.
Moreover…
The monk asked, "Will Jiang Luoxia agree?"
All the Demigods were proud and arrogant. Let alone, this was the No. 1 Demigod of China.
The black-robed man said, "According to the rules of our Heaven's Gate, anyone who wants to enter Heaven's Gate has to accept a test and even leave their most important person behind as a hostage."
"He'll obediently listen to me or die!"
