Chapter 2490: Xenogeneics Coming
Once he had agreed to go with Meng Lie, Han Sen pretended to be the perfect picture of subservience . He followed along as if he had no interest in escaping . As Meng Lie headed through the Tianxia System toward the Extreme King worlds, Han Sen trailed after him without any reluctance .
Meng Lie wasn’t worried about Han Sen trying to run off, but after they had traveled for a short while, a lot of cloud beasts began to attack from the surrounding clouds .
Meng Lie dealt with those cloud beasts easily, and not even the King class cloud beasts were a threat to him . However, his face grew increasingly serious as time progressed .
He still had no idea who was sending all these cloud beasts after him . He felt like something was watching him, and he didn’t enjoy that sensation at all .
Han Sen was shocked . “The same thing happened to me when I was in the sea of creamy clouds . Even weak cloud beasts charged toward me with no concern for their own lives . From what I can tell, the effect must have a radius of sorts . When the spider plant and the black cricket enter a location, the cloud beasts from that region are drawn toward them . ”
“Fourth Uncle, did you kill Lando?” Han Sen asked after Meng Lie killed another horde of cloud beasts .
Meng Lie wasn’t in a good mood . He casually said, “That kid is a brutal fighter . I wasn’t interested in risking my life fighting him, so I just ditched him instead . But don’t think that he’ll be coming to save you . He was drawn in another direction, so he won’t be able to find us for quite some time . ”
Han Sen never thought Lando would die; he just wanted to find out where the Dragon might have been . Hearing this did bring him a bit of relief, though .
“You must be kidding, Uncle . I have already promised you that I will go to the Extreme King . Even if Lando was right here, I wouldn’t go with him . It’s just as you said; if this situation isn’t sorted out, I’ll spend the rest of my life hounded and scared . Not even making it to Sky Palace will protect me from that . So, I am sincere about my willingness to go back . But you must also keep your promise to ensure my life,” Han Sen said, looking as earnest as possible .

When the Meng Lie heard Han Sen say this, he felt a bit better . He nodded and said, “You are quite smart . If you work for the Extreme King with full dedication, I will keep you alive . But Han Sen must still die, so you will no longer be able to use your real name . We cannot let anyone know you are still alive . ”
“I understand . I don’t mind losing my name if that’s what it takes to survive . But…” Han Sen looked worried .
“But what?” Meng Lie asked .
“I’m afraid that someone powerful might not want me to work for the Extreme King . They would rather kill me than let me follow you back . ” Han Sen injected a liberal dose of fear into his voice .
“Don’t worry . As long as you follow me, I won’t allow anyone to bring you harm,” Meng Lie declared .
But what Han Sen said did put Meng Lie on alert . Meng Lie was sure that some powerful figure was sending these clouds beasts after them, but that person had yet to reveal themselves . The mysterious deified just kept sending wave after wave of cannon fodder after them . If the mysterious deified was unable to steal Han Sen, then he might decide to just kill Han Sen instead .
After a few more waves of cloud beast hordes assaulted them, Meng Lie was able to confirm his worry . The King class xenogeneics seemed to be aiming for Han Sen, in particular .
As he realized this, Meng Lie grew even more cautious . He pulled Han Sen closer to him, just in case something bad happened .

While they were traveling, Meng Lie’s face suddenly changed . He pulled Han Sen to a stop and looked deep into the clouds .
Han Sen stood behind Meng Lie and also looked ahead . The nearby clouds were in turmoil as shockwaves rolled through them . A purple kirin was thundering toward them through the clouds .
Substance chains swirled around the monster’s body life clouds .
“Deified xenogeneic! The spider plant and black cricket must be incredibly important if they can attract deified xenogeneics,” Han Sen thought in astonishment .
And there were many cloud beasts following the deified kirin to boot . There was a whole host of King class xenogeneics in their midst .
Meng Lie frowned and spoke to Han Sen . “Don’t get too close to the battleground, but don’t run off too far, either . If you get into a bad situation too far from where I’m fighting, I might not have a chance to save you . ”
“Don’t worry, Uncle . I truly want to go to the Extreme King with you . I would never dream of running away . ” Han Sen knew what Meng Lie really meant, and so he answered him with sincerity .
Meng Lie nodded . He started to say something more, but the deified kirin cut him off with a roar . It brought a sky of clouds toward them . The cloud beasts’ target was fairly obvious, though . It was Han Sen they wanted .

“Huh? I want to see what sort of person is trying this hard to keep me from bringing Han Sen back to the Extreme King alive,” Meng Lie said with narrowed eyes . He turned into a gold giant and ran toward the kirin .
Han Sen didn’t flee . Instead, he entered the fight with the horde of cloud beasts .
At this point, Han Sen had no reason to run . He was carrying some dangerous goods that could attract deified xenogeneics . Now that he had Meng Lie to take the heat for him, running away would mean leaving behind his protection .
“I don’t know what that spider plant and black cricket are, but they can attract deified xenogeneics . If things get too bad, I’ll just have to throw them away . There is no point in risking my life to keep them . At least for now, though, I can use them to my advantage . If they can keep attracting deified xenogeneics, Meng Lie will have a tough time trying to escort me out of here…” Han Sen thought to himself as he began killing cloud beasts .
Meng Lie engaged the kirin, but he remained focused on how Han Sen was doing . When he saw that Han Sen had also started to fight instead of running off, it surprised him, and it actually brought him some relief .
“It looks like he’s sincere about following me back to the Extreme King . But that makes sense, I guess . Someone wants to kill him, and he will die if he doesn’t come with me . Coming with me at least gives him a chance to live . ” Meng Lie nodded . As he watched the cloud beasts swarm around Han Sen like mad, he became quite angry . Someone wanted to kill Han Sen and keep him from working for the Extreme King .
Meng Lie wouldn’t have dreamed that the cloud beasts would be drawn straight to Han Sen .
How could Han Sen, who was just a King, invoke the ire of a deified xenogeneic? Even if Han Sen attracted them, they should have attacked Meng Lie first . But these xenogeneics seemed obsessed with killing Han Sen, despite the deified opponent in the same area . That was why Meng Lie believed there had to be some mastermind hidden somewhere nearby . This mysterious person clearly wanted to prevent Han Sen from being taken back to the Extreme King .
Meng Lie was a brother of the Extreme King’s ruler . He was an old, scary deified . Even if he had lost his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, it was unlikely that another deified could kill him .
Although Meng Lie was slowly fighting back the kirin that was surrounded by clouds, it would still take a long time for him to kill the creature .
Han Sen made use of his movements to go around the cloud beasts he fought . He used this opportunity to wipe out several King class xenogeneics . He was quite pleased to have earned more King class xenogeneic genes .
Han Sen moved through the xenogeneic hordes, using the Purple-Eye Butterfly to check on Meng Lie . If he got the chance, he might be able to attack at the right time and get a deified beast soul out of all this, too . That would be splendid .
But killing a deified being wasn’t that easy . If Meng Lie still had his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, he could have killed another deified relatively quickly . But since he had lost his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, he had to exhaust his own power . Killing the deified kirin wouldn’t be an easy task for him .
