Chapter 629: Long-Armed King Kong! Turmoil in Riptide city! Beasts in the Ancient Forest! (3)

"Green Forest Sage, a Fifth-Circle Wizard, left the Tower of Pharmacists not too long ago just to avoid taking sides. This old man, he really is beyond my control,” Blue Dragon Lady chuckled helplessly.

Currently, there were only five Fifth-Circle Wizards in Riptide City. On her side, there were two, herself and “Sea Serpent Grand Duke, Merlhan,” a

Fifth-Circle Wizard with Sea Clan lineage from the Ocean School of Thought.

Due to Merlhan’s Sea Clan blood, he had faced discrimination from Sorrett and naturally aligned himself with Blue Dragon Lady.

On Sorrett’s side, there was also a Fifth-Circle Wizard, “Lava Hand, Tersu,” a formidable figure settled in the Upper Riptide. This individual, in all likelihood, received benefits from Sorrett and was prepared to participate in the upcoming events.

Apart from these, there was Green Forest Sage. However, this old man was quite cunning. Sensing trouble on the horizon, he withdrew even before the storm arrived. With his considerable influence, he didn’t need to serve in the military like Levi and the others. He could come and go as he pleased.

Blue Dragon Lady knew that the upcoming conflicts were inevitable. Furthermore, Star Tower was unlikely to offer much assistance.

Whether she could successfully hold the position of City Lord and defend this place depended on the strength of her own fists.

With these thoughts in mind, Blue Dragon Lady extended her hands, pure as jade, revealing frosty blue dragon scales on the back of her hands.

"Come, Sorrett. The dragon blood within me is boiling.”

During the intense atmosphere among the lords in Upper Riptide, Levi had already arrived at Huffman’s place. He sensed an unusual scent and knew that Riptide City was no longer a safe haven for him. Next, Blue Dragon Lady and Thunder Spear would undoubtedly engage in a fierce struggle within the city, and with Levi’s current strength, ensuring his safety would be challenging.

Inside Huffman’s room, Levi gazed at Huffman and calmly said, “Lord, I would like to request leave to return home for a while.”

"What’s wrong? Worried about being caught in the upcoming storm and getting wet?” Huffman remarked.

"To be honest, yes. Lord, what are your plans for the future? Will you weather the storm, or will you continue to stay here?” Levi inquired.

Huffman fell silent for a moment and then sighed, “I can’t stay out of it. No wonder you didn’t join the Dragon Tea Party; there are indeed some pitfalls in it. I’ve already boarded Blue Dragon Lady’s ship, and it’s hard to get off now. Your leave is approved. Based on your previous performance, you can stay outside for a while. Don’t come back in the short term; Riptide City is about to undergo a major change.”

Levi originally wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat, and he decided to keep them to himself. “Take care, Lord! I won’t forget your kindness,” Levi said earnestly, his expression sincere. He appreciated Huffman as a boss.

In two lifetimes, bosses like him were rare—greedy but with boundaries, possessing a commoner’s demeanor alongside a kind heart. Huffman could have refused Levi’s leave, subjecting him to the troubles within the city. “Hurry up. It won’t be good if you’re late in requesting leave. You might not even have the chance to leave when the time comes,” Huffman waved his hand, sitting there dejectedly, devoid of his former vigor.

The upcoming events in Riptide City would undoubtedly involve perilous warfare. Even as a Third-Circle Wizard, Huffman still lacked certainty about landing safely.

"In the end, greed for small gains has harmed me,” Huffman sighed as he watched Levi’s disappearing figure.

Inside the wizard tower, Levi hurriedly packed up his array and belongings. “Master, are we leaving?” Algerta asked, with the three brothers, lion, tiger, and leopard, behind her.

"Yes, you can enter my Greenfield Immortal House, and we’ll leave Riptide City for a while,” Levi opened the entrance to the Greenfield Immortal House.

"All right.”

The fur clan members naturally had no objections. Levi was their god, and his words were divine commands to be obeyed.

After packing up, Levi looked at the residence at Number 80, where he had stayed for so long.

"I hope that when I come back, the situation in the city will have settled. Ah, in this troublesome era, it’s so difficult to find a peaceful place for cultivation.”

Without looking back, Levi headed towards the outskirts of the city. He chose not to take a wizard airship controlled by the military. This time, Levi was seeking refuge.

He wasn’t sure about the military’s stance, so he decided to fly back himself. With his current Level 13 Blood Beast, he wouldn’t be much slower than a wizard airship.

"Grimm and Tommen went to the wizard relic, and there’s still no news…”

Levi remembered his only two acquaintances in Riptide City. Pushing these thoughts aside, he quickly left.

Shortly after Levi left, Riptide City announced the suspension of all wizard airship flights and recalled many wizards who were hunting demons outside.

In the Tower of Pharmacists, the pharmacists who remained in the city gathered in the square.

Huffman looked at them, his expression complicated. “Prepare for battle. There may be some reactionary forces in the city. Be vigilant towards your colleagues and friends. Trust the Tower of Pharmacists, trust the official authorities of Riptide City, trust the City Lord! ” “Lord, what’s happening?
