The elites of Sky Palace, the Dragon, the Destroyed, the Buddha, and the Demon were all waiting outside Metal World. Two months had passed, but none of the Marquises they had sent had returned. Not a single one had returned. Their moods were growing heavier by the day, and they no longer had much hope that any of the Marquises would return.
"Something … something is coming out of Metal World!" Suddenly, one of the Dragons in charge of watching Metal World screamed.
Almost at the same time, similar voices rang out from the various races. The experts of various races who had been waiting for two hours immediately arrived outside the metal world. They stared at the magnetic field that was churning like a sea of clouds outside the metal world.
Of course, some people were flying out of it. One … two … More and more people were coming out. At first, they were just dots in the clouds, but then, they became clearer and clearer.
"Dragon Eight! It is Dragon Eight!" a King of the Dragons shouted excitedly.
The other races were no exception, either. They all saw their own people, and they were all very excited.
But as the people became clearer and clearer, the Sky Palace elders became more and more excited. The faces of the other races, on the other hand, became gloomy.
That was because the number of Sky Palace students was greater than the combined number of the other races. And the Sky Palace students didn't seem to be injured. The other races, on the other hand, were in bad shape. Some of them were even injured.
Han Sen took Yuya and the others to report to the Sky Palace elders. When the Sky Palace students saw that none of their one hundred students had died, they were overjoyed. They said, "Good! Good! Han Sen, you did well. Now, you don't have to say anything. Come with me and get some rest."
"Yes." Han Sen and Yuya readied themselves to leave with the elders.
But suddenly, many shadows flashed. The Dragons, the Buddhas, the Destroyed, and the Demons all had a scary presence. They surrounded the Sky Palace people and blocked their way.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Sky Palace's leader, Green Crane Elder, looked at them coldly. All the Sky Palace elites were ready to fight.
The Destroyed King looked at Han Sen and the others and shouted, "All the Marquises have entered Metal World, and we have all suffered great losses. Only you, Sky Palace, have not lost a single student. I don't think Sky Palace has done anything to harm our Marquises."
It was no wonder the Destroyed King was in such a rush. The other races had sent back a few Marquises, but not a single Destroyed Marquise had returned. The Destroyed desperately wanted to know what had happened in Metal World.
The other races weren't as desperate as the Destroyed, but they had all suffered heavy losses. They were thinking the same thing as the Destroyed King. They didn't want to let Han Sen go so easily.
With the power of the Union, they could demand an explanation from Sky Palace. If they waited until they returned to Sky Palace, it wouldn't be easy for them to demand an explanation from Sky Palace.
So, the elites didn't have time to ask their students what had happened. They stopped the Sky Palace people first.
If they had done this, they couldn't let them go. If they hadn't, then they could let them go.
When Green Crane heard what the Destroyed King said, he coldly laughed and said, "Your students aren't strong enough. What does it have to do with Sky Palace if they die in there?"
The Destroyed King coldly laughed and said, "Our Marquises are as powerful as Sky Palace. Even if we were weaker than you, there's no way you could have killed us all without a single casualty. If you don't give us an explanation, then even if the Destroyed agree, the other races won't."
Right now, he wanted to hold the Dragons back. Otherwise, with the power of the Destroyed, they couldn't stop Green Crane Elder.
"Explanation?
Sky Palace doesn't need an explanation, "Green Crane Elder said coldly.
He didn't allow Han Sen and the others to speak. He wanted to take them away because he knew what was going on. He wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Green Crane Elder thought there had to be a problem, too. Maybe Han Sen had done something. Otherwise, why would all of Sky Palace's students return, while the other races had suffered so many losses?
The Destroyed King grunted and said, "Don't use Sky Palace to threaten us. The Sky are strong, but none of us are weak. If you don't give us an explanation, none of you will be leaving."
"Mister Green Crane, let's get to the bottom of this," the Buddha King said.
The Dragons King coldly said, "If the Sky Palace students didn't do it, why don't we stay and explain?"
Green Crane Elder frowned. He wished to say something, but Dragon Eight, Kahn, and the other students from Metal World came over. They spoke to the Kings of the other races.
Aside from the Destroyed, when the elites of the other races heard what was being said, their faces looked glum. The formations that surrounded Sky Palace turned around and surrounded the Destroyed.
"Destroyed, it looks like it is time for you to give us an explanation," the King of the Dragons said coldly, looking at the Destroyed.
The other races did not look happy, either. The Destroyed were confused, and they had no idea what was going on.
Green Crane Elder quickly called Han Sen and Yuya over. He wanted to know what was going on, and when he heard what was being said, he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
He wasn't shocked that the Destroyed had gotten themselves into trouble. He was shocked that Han Sen had defeated the xenogeneics all by himself and saved so many Marquises.
The Marquises sent by each race were all elites. Dragon Eight, Dragon Nine, and Kahn were among the top Marquises. They were powerful, and so many Marquises had been unable to defeat the xenogeneics. And yet, Han Sen had done it all by himself. That was a scary power.
Han Sen was invincible, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was invincible.
Although the Dragons and the other Kings did not believe Han Sen was that strong, there were many Marquises there. And they had their own Marquises there as well. They couldn't exaggerate Han Sen's power, so they had to believe it.
After what had happened, Han Sen's name spread across the races. Everyone who knew about what had happened knew that aside from Phyllostachys Longipes, Sky Palace also had a scary Han Sen.
Because of the little deified beast, all the races gave up on taking over Metal World. Han Sen did not know how they dealt with the Destroyed.
Because he had brought all the Sky Palace students back safely, Han Sen was rewarded by Sky Palace.
But none of that mattered to Han Sen. Yisha and Sky Palace had agreed to help Han Sen become a Marquise. Now that Han Sen was a Marquise, his practice in Sky Palace was over. He had to return to Narrow Moon.
After all, he was not a true student of Sky Palace. Sky Palace could not provide him with resources to become a Duke.
