When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Standing five meters away from the battlefield, Zhu Chongjiu stared intently and wondered, "What is this thing?"

A monster of earth elemental power was seen transforming into a giant thousands of feet tall, and then into various other demonic beasts, as it fought against two high-level Emperor-rank experts.

Why is it called a monster?

Zhu Chongjiu observed with his naked eye and sensed with his inner strength and divine sense, but he could not detect any trace of demonic beast aura on this monster.

Moreover, it's impossible to sense the monster's level or strength.

All one can sense is an incredibly strong earth element information.

Even this monster, no matter what form it takes, is formed from a mound of earth.

Moreover, this monster cannot use any innate abilities; it can only fight the two Emperor-level powerhouses with brute force.

The two Emperor-level beings used their magic to repeatedly shatter the monster's transformed body.

Then, the monster reassembled itself again and again, like an unkillable cockroach.

The other five Emperor-level experts, each of varying strengths, sat cross-legged a kilometer away from the battle.

It looked like it was controlling some kind of formation.

Every time the monster tried to break out, it was intercepted by the two Emperor-level experts and forced back.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was completely absorbed in watching, one of the five Emperor-level experts on the outer perimeter in his direction suddenly transmitted a message to him: "We are the Peace Chamber of Commerce conducting business here. Unrelated bystanders should leave immediately and not linger here to watch, otherwise you will bear all the consequences!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in the air and causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Zhu Chongjiu was startled by the sudden telepathic message, his focus on the matter at hand was instantly interrupted.

He frowned slightly, looking towards the person who had spoken, and thought to himself, "The Peace Chamber of Commerce?"

snort!

If it were someone else, I would have left.

However, I, Ninth Brother, am determined to stir up trouble at the Peace Chamber of Commerce.

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu told Xiao Hei to stay where it was and start walking towards the battlefield instead of secretly observing.

The Emperor-level expert who had been sending a threatening telepathic message to Zhu Chongjiu saw Zhu Chongjiu walking towards him and instantly became enraged, shouting, "Do you want to die?"

You dare to interfere with the Peace Chamber of Commerce's good deeds?

Upon hearing this man's words, Zhu Chongjiu did not stop his forward march; instead, he accelerated his approach to the battlefield.

He then said, "Peace Chamber of Commerce?"

If I remember correctly, this is the territory of the Houtu Kingdom. I am in the Houtu Kingdom, so why should I obey the orders of the Peace Chamber of Commerce?

Has your Peace Chamber of Commerce already surpassed the Houtu Kingdom?

Besides, my house is just up ahead. Are you saying I can't go home because of some nobody like you?

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was unmoved by reason, the man pressed on, saying, "Do you think that the Peace Chamber of Commerce can't do anything to you, a mere Emperor-level figure?"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here now. Everything will be fine then, but if this operation fails because of you, the Peace Chamber of Commerce will make you wish you were never born!"

By this time, everyone on the battlefield had noticed the changes, including the two high-level Emperor-rank experts who were fighting the monster.

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, one of the two Emperor-level experts who were fighting the monster quickly attacked Zhu Chongjiu.

Judging from their stance, they're going to deliver a fatal blow to Zhu Chongjiu!

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu didn't waste any more time with them. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

When they saw Zhu Chongjiu's figure, they were already behind the Emperor-level expert who had come to stop Zhu Chongjiu.

At that moment, a scene unfolded that put the remaining six people on high alert.

It was seen that although Zhu Chongjiu had stopped, the Emperor-level expert who was blocking Zhu Chongjiu was still running forward in the same charging posture.

However, before he had run a hundred meters, the Emperor-level expert was suddenly decapitated in full view of everyone.

A thick stream of blood gushed from the man's neck, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Upon sensing again, the six people realized that the Emperor-level expert had completely disappeared.

Just die?

Throughout the entire ordeal, none of the six people could clearly see how Zhu Chongjiu killed his companion.

In the blink of an eye, one of the remaining six sent a message and angrily said, "I have notified the Chamber of Commerce that today, I will make sure you have nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell."

The rest of you, follow me and kill this man first.

As soon as he finished speaking, the six men quickly converged and attacked Zhu Chongjiu.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu smiled wickedly and said, "It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Although the six of you are no match for me, you can still relieve my itch a little!"

The six Emperor-level experts unleashed powerful spells and attacked Zhu Chongjiu together. Zhu Chongjiu did not use any spells to defend himself, but instead charged towards one of them with his bare body.

The earth shook violently, mud flew everywhere, and all sorts of magical spells, dazzling in color and incredibly powerful, were unleashed.

But it only lasted for about ten seconds.

After the dust settled, Zhu Chongjiu stood in front of a man, the very man who had initially threatened him.

At this moment, the man was lying on the ground, spitting blood, barely breathing, and uttering words of pleas for mercy that were no longer audible.

Zhu Chongjiu glanced disdainfully at the person at his feet and said, "It's possible that I haven't really lived in this world for many years, so there are very few people who dare to threaten me like you."

Why bother? Relying on your own strength and connections, you've only made things worse now.

This is a lesson for you; remember to be more low-key in your next life.

Do you think everyone is Ninth Brother?

When that person heard the words "Ninth Brother," he finally understood what was happening. Filled with resentment, he closed his eyes and left.

At this point, the swamp city was in complete chaos.

Just now, Zhu Chongjiu fought a fierce battle with six Emperor-level experts. Even though it only lasted for a dozen seconds, the intensity of the battle was so great that even the Emperor-level experts in the Swamp City, tens of thousands of miles away, could feel it!

However, no one knew the specifics, so the report was passed up the chain of command for the capital to investigate.

After Zhu Chongjiu finished dealing with the six Emperor-level experts, he turned back to look at the place where the monster had been and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you run away?"

I know you didn't run away just now because you were trapped by a formation.

"The formation was destroyed by me in the battle just now, why aren't you running away?"

The monster had now transformed into a child's form. It didn't speak, just stood there, staring at Zhu Chongjiu.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu stepped towards the monster. Reaching it, he asked, "What species are you? How should I address you? You should be able to understand me, right?"

After Zhu Chongjiu asked three questions in a row, the monster stretched out its little finger, squatted on the ground, wrote the character "土" (earth), stood up, and pointed to itself again.

Zhu Chongjiu instantly understood what he meant.

Zhu Chongjiu observed carefully and found that although it was made of clay, apart from its color and fleshy texture, it was remarkably similar to a real person.

It's like pulling a playful child, covered in mud from head to toe, out of a mud pit.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but think of his daughter. If time here were the same as on Earth, his eldest daughter would be enjoying university life right now!

At this moment, the little monster walked up to Zhu Chongjiu and suddenly tugged at Zhu Chongjiu's trouser leg.

Zhu Chongjiu was brought back to reality by the little monster's actions, and looked down at the little monster—no, it should be called Tu—once again.

When Zhu Chongjiu looked at Xiaotu, his gaze softened.

After noticing Xiao Tu's actions, Zhu Chongjiu squatted down and whispered to Xiao Tu, "Aren't you leaving yet? Is something the matter?"

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xiao Tu stretched out her little hand, pointed at Zhu Chongjiu, and then pointed at herself.

Zhu Chongjiu couldn't understand Xiao Tu's meaning. Just as he was about to ask Xiao Tu if they could communicate through consciousness, he suddenly sensed a large number of powerful figures rushing towards him at high speed.
