Kang Bai hesitated. Should he go head to head with Saleen? If he did so, the cooperation with Daliang City would be broken. On Daliang City’s side, they would be able to obtain a large amount of fossilized gods fragments. If they attacked the graveyard, they would gain many more rewards, possibly tens or hundreds of times more benefit.

If he killed Saleen, Daliang City would rage a bloody war with them. The Grukos imperial family would definitely take the opportunity to monopolize the benefit.

Although Daliang City appeared to require outside help, it was still under Lex’s control. After Daliang City’s magic net had been built, without Lex’s support, even Alchemy City would not dare to claim that they could defend Daliang City. To be precise, if Lex got angry, Alchemy City’s power in Daliang City would be wiped out.

The husband and wife pair had already grown to that level and could match Alchemy City in strength?

“This matter is between Lex and Pompeii. Mages from the Elemental Hand can leave Pompeii in three days. And the magical towers, I want them. Kang Bai, make a detailed list of the damage as quickly as possible and I will repay you double.” Saleen’s voice continued to be spread throughout the entire city. Even if Kang Bai intended to leave, he could not agree at the time, otherwise it was equivalent to admitting that the Elemental Hand was afraid of Saleen, who was only one person.

Kang Bai understood that Saleen’s arrival at Pompeii City was basically to go against Alchemy City. By doing so, it meant Saleen must have been very much certain that he was not Saleen’s match, right?

It was said that Saleen had just advanced to level 10, and his aptitude was not particularly outstanding. He relied on the strength provided by Sreeger Island to reach the level he was. Mages with unstable foundations who relied on equipment were not even worth mentioning to Kang Bai. But why did he have a sense of danger in his heart and have no way of judging the source of this danger?

“Saleen, let us use a mage’s methods to resolve this problem.” The elderly mage had no means to retreat. If he left, he would no longer have any significant position within the Elemental Hand when he returned.

Saleen grinned. “Kang Bai, if I used the magical tower, you would not stand a chance. Come, I will leave the magical tower to battle with you. I can guarantee that I will not use the magical tower’s power to attack you. I swear in the name of a mage.”

Saleen was full of confidence. His combat abilities were at their peak, and all of his equipment was in good condition. His clan badge, Thunder Dragon Blaster, Constellation set, his Figure of Fate, ancient warriors, ancient figures, and all kinds of magic staffs and magic books were high level. There were not many people who would be able to match up to him.

Not using the magical tower’s power and using Kang Bai to temper his own combat skill by having a fair battle could let his magic gain greater benefits.

Kang Bai had to accept the suggestion because his magical tower was able to fly. If Kang Bai did not agree, Saleen was completely capable of making the magical tower descend opposite of Kang Bai’s magical tower. Within the closest distance, he could use the advantages of his magical tower to wipe everything out.

“Saleen, since this is a fair battle, could you wait one day for me? I have another piece of equipment that requires one day for its refining to be complete,” Kang Bai requested.

“Of course I can. In a battle between mages, equipment plays a major factor. If I don’t let you complete the refining of the piece of equipment, I am afraid you would be unconvinced.”

Saleen did not at all believe that Kang Bai had any equipment that could be refined in one day. If it were reversed, Kang Bai would also definitely not expect that there could be such an outcome.

Kang Bai spoke to Grand Duke Pompeii, “for the time being, do not mobilize the forces in the city. Alchemy City’s protection towards you is still effective. However, Saleen has come to go against Alchemy City. There is no use even if you surrender. Saleen wants to occupy your city and lure Alchemy City to come forward and attack. This is an action that he often uses. You…can choose to surrender.”

“Surrender? Master!”

“After you surrender, the contract between you and Alchemy City will still be effective. I will request for forgiveness from the Elemental Hand for the situation. We are in the south of Qin, and it will be very difficult to look for another suitable candidate if we lose you.” Kang Bai was not worried that Grand Duke Pompeii would be arrogant or make things difficult for him because of the situation. Currently, Grand Duke Pompeii could not even protect himself. Even if he had millions of troops, he was still unable to deal with Saleen.

Saleen’s Magical Element Tower could come and go as he pleased. Unless it was a city like Alchemy City or Holy Rock City where there were numerous mages and a large magic amplifier, a place that was considered to be impregnable by ordinary people was merely a joke for Saleen.

Grand Duke Pompeii was silent and somewhat mournful that he was unable to follow the changes of the world. In the past, Holy Rock City would never disregard him and make their position towards Saleen’s invasion unknown. Even Prince Safilos gave up on him.

The current situation had also occurred at Alchemy City. Alchemy City allowed him to surrender, meaning that they had not taken him to heart at all. When they wanted to use of something, they would take it, and when it was no longer needed, they would kick it aside.

Compared to Cloudflow’s Grand Duke Iron Blood, he was nothing at all. He had supported hundreds of mages, but none of them were able to oppose Saleen. There was no way for him to resolve the situation in front of him. If he left Pompeii, there would never be another chance for him to return.

Surrender to Saleen? It would be impossible for him to gain Saleen’s trust. Even if Saleen was to put aside their past grievances and took him in, he would also have no reason to rely on his support.

“Master, I will leave Pompeii. Requesting Master to please protect my citizens.” Grand Duke Pompeii bowed to Kang Bai, wanting to leave the magical tower. Kang Bai’s eyes immediately revealed a murderous intent. Grand Duke Pompeii wanted to leave?

Saleen had come to find trouble with Grand Duke Pompeii, but the one he wanted to deal with was Alchemy City. If Grand Duke Pompeii left, there would be no possibility for him to survive. Saleen would mobilize the magical tower’s power to kill him. It would also be easy for him to find a reason to do so, because he had released Grand Duke Pompeii.

Grand Duke Pompeii was no fool. He had probably thought through the crux of the matter. As long as he could bear to give up his city managed, Saleen would have no interest in pursuing and killing him. But doing so was equivalent to pushing him towards a road to ruin.

“Grand Duke,” Kang Bai squeezed out from behind clenched teeth. A chain made of flames suddenly bound Grand Duke Pompeii. A golden sword aura flashed from Grand Duke Pompeii’s body, twisting the flame chains and destroying them.

“You!” Grand Duke Pompeii only spat out one word, before he would no longer be able to say anything else. A tiny needle shot inside Grand Duke Pompeii’s mouth. The golden sword aura was thoroughly crushed. He had just advanced and his power was inferior to Kang Bai’s.

“I am going to have a decisive battle with Saleen. If I lose, I will hand over your corpse to him, then leave.” After Kang Bai finished speaking, he used an ice spell to freeze Grand Duke Pompeii’s body. The flame chains were withdrawn, drilling back into Kang Bai’s bracelet.

Grand Duke Pompeii had not expected that Kang Bai would act against him. The alliance formed by the two parties seemed to have no binding power on Kang Bai. He did not immediately die, but glared at Kang Bai with a venomous expression.

Kang Bai smiled and walked down one floor of the magical tower.

On the ninth floor of the magical tower, a six-meter teleportation portal was arranged. The complicated teleportation portal was divided into more than ten layers of magic patterns. It could transmit sounds, objects, and even living people.

Kang Bai activated the sound teleportation portal. He faced the figure that floated upwards from the magic array. “Senior Elder, something has happened.”

“What happened?” The virtual person within the teleportation portal opened its eyes, as if it was extremely dissatisfied at being disturbed.

“Pompeii City, I may not be able to defend it.”

“What about Dusi and Turing?”

“They are both dead.”

The Senior Elder’s eyes shot open, revealing bloodshot eyeballs. “Who killed them?”

“Saleen. Saleen Metatrin.”

“How is that possible?” The Senior Elder asked, as if not daring to believe it. Saleen had been to Alchemy City and left behind magical images. Alchemy City had confirmed that they were not body doubles, and it was definitely Saleen himself. All of the data left behind by Saleen had been gathered and analyzed. All of the elders had thought that Saleen’s aptitude was normal and he would not attain particularly great achievements.

Kang Bai did not dare to speak, and sent over the magical images of the two level 10 mage trainers Saleen had killed.

“So it was like this…” The Senior Elder saw the magical images, and his emotions became a lot more balanced. If Saleen alone had the power to kill two level 10 mage trainers, he would be a really big nuisance.

“Senior Elder, Saleen has arranged for a battle with me. I would like to request that the Elemental Hand provide me with a godly piece of equipment to ensure my victory.”

The Senior Elder faltered a moment. “If you win, what will you do?”

“I will kill him.”

“Wait for my news.” The Senior Elder cut off the communications with Kang Bai. He could not make the decision. The Elemental Hand was a huge and complicated organization. No matter how strong his individual ability was, he also could not decide whether or not they could fall out with Lex. As long as the cemetery of the giants had not been taken, he could not make the decision.

Within the Magical Element Tower, Nailisi complained, “Master, that guy is dragging out time, he could be looking for help.”

Saleen smiled. “Looking for help? No matter how wealthy Alchemy City is, there is no way they can send over more than 3,000 sorcerers. I suppose he is waiting for some equipment. If it is a godly item, I can use my family badge to destroy them, and everyone will still be able to fight fairly.”

“Master, we can’t be too careful.”

“Of course, I will be very careful. Kang Bai is extremely sly. As long as he has help, you should order the demonic spirits to kill everyone. As long as we are fighting within the range of the Magical Element Tower, what is there for us to be worried about?”

“Master, how about this. Since he is dragging out the time, I will take advantage of this one day of leisure to walk around in the city,” Nailisi pleaded.

“What are you going to do?”

“I am going to look for the Grand Duke’s warehouse, and let the demons empty it out and move everything away.”

“That does not need to be done immediately.” Saleen knew that Nailisi was not speaking the truth. However, he nodded. “You can go out for a walk if you want, but you must bring along a companion when you go, and your companion cannot meet any harm, understand?”

Nailisi agreed helplessly. She knew that Saleen was using it to restrict her from doing things that were too dangerous.
