I Am Overlord

Chapter 1690: True Strength of the Wolf Guards

Once, Xiang Dingtian had led his Five Tiger Heaven Battling Generals in numerous wars. At the time, he and his brothers had lived a carefree life where the debt of gratitude and the duty of grudge would always be repaid so that they would be able to die without regrets even if they were to perish on the battlefield.

Now, they had all grown much stronger than before, but the dominion had also changed greatly. The world had sunk into chaos, and in this world-spanning chaos, their strength was insufficient. In this life, the overlord was much stronger than before, and his helpers were also much stronger than those he had in his previous life.

Scarlet Flame Monarch and Devouring Ghost were starting to feel a sense of inferiority. Even so, they still hoped to stand by the overlord's side once again as he fought against his enemies. Even if they had to die again, they would have no fear. So long as their blood continued to flow, their battle intent would never cease to be.

Green Ghost also wished to have a bigger stage with which to display his strength. He did not wish to miss out on a competition of the ages.

"Very well. This overlord definitely can't disappoint you if that is what you wish. Get your affairs in order and leave for the Guardians Guild with me," said Xiang Shaoyun. He could see the longing in their eyes, and he naturally couldn't disappoint them.

This fight for the young guild master position was not a competition between individuals. Thus, he needed many helpers to establish a good position for himself. Talented Gods younger than 1,000 years old all over the world were in the midst of recruiting help and expanding their influence. Only by forging a perfect public image of themselves would they be able to win more support and become the young guild master.

In fact, that was also what Ge Yi hoped Xiang Shaoyun would do when he had told Xiang Shaoyun to keep watch over the Dusk Dynasty for three years. Xiang Shaoyun understood what his master wanted, so he stayed at the Dusk Dynasty to fight against the devils. From there, his name would start to spread all over the dominion.

Of course, that much wasn't enough. After all, there was only so much he could do alone. If he couldn't build up a group of people who would contribute to humanity together, he would not be able to become the leader of humanity.

That was why he had also agreed to have Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, and Green Ghost head over to the Dusk Dynasty to meet his main body. But just as the group was about to leave, a wolf guard came and sought an audience with him.

"Greetings, young master," greeted the wolf guard respectfully.

The God Realm wolf guards had long settled down at the Buried Monarch Mountain Range.

"Lang Zhan, is there anything I can do for you?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

This wolf guard was a third-stage God. He was one of the leaders among the wolfmen, but he wasn't the strongest among them.

"All the wolf guards have been assembled from all over the world. We are now awaiting your command, young master," said Lang Zhan.

Ge Yi had transferred the command of the wolf guards to Xiang Shaoyun, but only a group of them had been around. Finally, the strongest ones among them had arrived.

"Very good. Call everyone over and let me see just how strong the wolf guards are!" said Xiang Shaoyun in excitement.

He had not expected that the wolf guards would be fully assembled at this time. They would be very helpful for what he was about to do next. Before long, Lang Zhan gathered all the wolf guards before Xiang Shaoyun.

A portion of the wolf guards had perished during Xiang Shaoyun's fight against the devils, but they had replenished their numbers. A total of 365 wolf guards stood before him, each with the head of a wolf and the body of a human. They all had a ferocious aura around them, and it was clear that they had all been tempered in blood before they were qualified to become a part of the wolf guards.

"The wolf guards greet the young master!" All the wolf guards dropped to one knee in greeting.

These wolf guards were well-trained, and they moved in an orderly manner, displaying incredible discipline. Their auras surged, and it was clear they were far beyond the level of a regular army.

"Be at ease, everyone. There is no need for too many formalities with me," Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly said.

He could sense that one of them was so strong that he couldn't even see through the wolf guard's cultivation. That wolf guard, in particular, felt like the same level of existence as Lu Jiang and the emperor emeritus. That wolf guard was Lang Ya, the wolf guard's leader.

Lang Ya was tall and sturdy, and his body was brimming with vitality. His body was muscular and strong, showcasing his extraordinary constitution. Apart from Lang Ya, there were also nine wolf guards above fifth-stage God Realm. Xiang Shaoyun was rather shocked to see how strong they were.

Is this the true strength of the wolf guards? thought Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment. He had known that the wolf guards were strong, but he had not imagined that they were this strong.

"Young master, Master sent us to you so that we can serve you. Feel free to contact us if you need us in the future. The wolf guards will carry out your command at all costs, including the cost of our lives!" said Lang Ya solemnly.

Xiang Shaoyun knew very well that the wolf guards had undivided loyalty toward his master. He did not stand on ceremony and gladly accepted their allegiance. Even the weakest among the wolf guards was no weaker than a late-stage Sovereign. The strongest was a peak eighth-stage God, while the main bulk of the group consisted of numerous Saints. Working together, they had enough strength to protect the entire tribe of wolfmen.

"All of you must have returned to help me in my bid to become the young guild master, right?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Lang Ya nodded. "Yes. We had received a transmitted message from Master. He wants you to snatch the position at all costs. The wolf guards are ready to do whatever is necessary."

"Sure enough," said Xiang Shaoyun in realization. "In that case, those at the God Realm remain while the rest return."

The other wolf guards said nothing and retreated as commanded, leaving only 30 of them behind. The wolf guards were truly powerful, as 30 out of all 365 were actually Gods.

"This competition over the position will not be the same as the regular battles you went through while tempering yourself. This time, we will face the strongest young Gods of the dominion. Any carelessness will probably cost all of us our lives. I know all of you are loyal to my master, but I have to think for you as well. Thus, I will only have the strongest ones among you come with me. As for the rest, they shall remain as the seeds of the wolf guards. You will be able to fight without worrying about your home," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Thank you for being so thoughtful, young master," the wolf guards were grateful.

Xiang Shaoyun had helped them preserve some hope. Even if they were to perish, the other wolfmen would still have a chance to rise again in the future.

"Alright. Get ready. We will leave shortly." Xiang Shaoyun did not waste any time and had them prepare for departure.

He was getting more and more helpers, but the Ziling Sect had also turned emptier as a result. He decided to pay the angels a visit and have their Gods watch over the sect in the meantime. He would not allow other organizations to take advantage of his absence to do anything against the sect. His departure would signify the start of his bid to become the young guild master.
