Gods: Start with Goblins

"For our future." The butler said coldly, "The human race has become increasingly powerful, while we, the Warcraft, are declining. Only by cooperating with the City Lord's Mansion can we rise again."

"You are wrong!" Luo Dan shouted loudly, "We Warcraft do not need to rely on others to rise! We should rely on our own strength to fight for our own status and dignity!"

The butler sneered: "You are too naive. In this world, only the strong can survive. And we, the Warcraft, are no longer strong."

Luo Dan gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with determination: "No! We Warcraft will always be strong! As long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us!"

After saying that, Luo Dan rushed towards the butler and started a fierce battle with him. Although Luo Dan was very skilled, the butler was also an expert among experts after all. The two of them fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. It turned out that the monsters from other sects came to support after hearing the news. They joined the battle and fought against the guards of the City Lord's Mansion together with Luo Dan.

After a hard battle, Luo Dan and the sect's magic beasts finally defeated the guards and housekeepers of the City Lord's Mansion. They looked at the enemies lying on the ground, their hearts filled with joy and pride of victory.

"We did it!" Luo Dan shouted excitedly, "We defeated the enemy with our own strength!"

The other monsters also cheered: "We can finally get rid of the constraints of the City Lord's Mansion!"

However, just as they were preparing to celebrate their victory, even more terrible news arrived: the city lord had learned of their actions and was mobilizing a large army to encircle and suppress them.

"This is bad." Luo Dan said solemnly, "We must leave here immediately and find a safe place to hide."

So, under the leadership of Luo Dan, the monsters began a thrilling escape journey. They shuttled through the dense forest, avoiding the pursuit of the city lord's mansion. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, their hearts were full of hope and courage.

Because they know that as long as they unite as one, nothing can stop them from moving forward. And their future will be determined by themselves.

The Sect's Dilemma and Luodan's Hope
Deep in the vast Yunyin Mountains, several towering palaces were scattered in the mountains. This was the common residence of several sects. At this moment, in the hall of the palace, people from several sects were gathered together, their faces full of anxiety and anger.

"What? The city lord actually refused to see us?" An old man in a green shirt slammed the table and stood up. His voice was a little hoarse because of anger. "We represent the entire sect. How can he be so rude!"

"That's right. We came here with good intentions to ask for a meeting, but he actually turned the door away and refused to see us. This is too much!" A man from another sect also echoed, his face full of indignation.

Everyone was chattering, and the whole hall was filled with noise and dissatisfaction. They had originally thought that with the power and status of the sect, the city lord would at least give them some face, but they didn't expect to be treated so coldly.

----------

"Now we can't get in, and the people inside can't get out either. Isn't that going to be a big problem?" A sect disciple said worriedly, his eyes flickering with uneasiness. "Also, why are the demons suddenly making such a fuss? Is there something wrong?"

This sentence was like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking through the noise in the hall. Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and cast their eyes on the disciple who asked the question, thinking that he made sense.

"That's right. The demons have always been secretive. Now they are suddenly making such a big move. There must be something fishy going on." An elder of the sect pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Also, I heard that they are stepping up their vigilance recently, as if they are guarding against some enemy."

"Enemy? Could it be us?" asked a man from another sect in horror, his face instantly losing color.

"It's unlikely." The elder shook his head. "Although we have always had grievances with the demons, we haven't yet come to the point of fighting. I guess they may have sensed some danger, or are planning something big."

"So what should we do now?" a sect disciple asked anxiously, "We were going to the spirit world, but now we are trapped here."

"Spiritual world..." The elder said slowly after a moment's silence, "Unless we can pass through the time and space plank road unique to the demon clan, we can't enter the spiritual world at all. However, now the demon clan has closed the door, and we can't get close to the time and space plank road at all."

"Unless..." Suddenly, a sect disciple's eyes lit up, "Unless there is a demigod-level person who can tear the space apart and bring us in!"

"Demigod level?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. You know, in the entire cultivation world, there are only a few people who can reach the demigod level, and each one of them is an unparalleled strong man.

"Isn't Luo Dan a demigod?" Suddenly, an elder of the sect slapped his forehead and said with sudden enlightenment, "How could we forget about him? He is our ally!"

"Yes! Lord Luodan is a demigod-level warrior. He will definitely be able to tear apart the space and lead us into the spiritual world!" Everyone showed joy upon hearing this.

"But Lord Luodan's whereabouts are erratic. How can we find him?" a sect disciple asked.

"This..." The elder pondered for a moment and said, "I remember Lord Luodan once mentioned that he has a secret place of cultivation deep in the Yunyin Mountains. We can go there to look for him, and perhaps we can find his trace."

"Okay! Then we will set off immediately and go to the depths of Yunyin Mountains to find Lord Luodan!" Everyone stood up, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that this was their only hope and the only way to the spiritual world. So, several people from the sects quickly got ready and embarked on the journey to the depths of Yunyin Mountains. They passed through dense forests, climbed over steep mountains, and after untold hardships, they finally arrived at Luodan's place of cultivation.

However, when they arrived, they found that there was no one here. It seemed that Luo Dan had been gone for a long time, leaving only silence and desolation.

"This... Lord Luo Dan is not here?" Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with disappointment and helplessness. They originally thought that as long as they found Luo Dan, they would be able to enter the spirit world smoothly. Unexpectedly, Luo Dan was not here.

"Perhaps, we can leave a message, and when Lord Luodan comes back, he will naturally see it." A sect elder suggested.

"Okay! Then we'll leave a message to explain our purpose and predicament." Everyone nodded in agreement. So, they left a detailed letter at Luodan's training ground, explaining their predicament and request. Then, they could only leave this desolate place with a hint of reluctance and expectation.

They knew that they would be stuck in an endless wait for a while. However, as long as Luo Dan could read their letters and was willing to help them, they would have hope of entering the spirit world and continuing their path of cultivation.

Luo Dan's helplessness and Pei Sheng's astonishment

In an elegant wing of the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Dan quietly hid behind a screen. His figure was hidden by the intricate patterns on the screen, revealing only a pair of deep eyes that flashed with helplessness and irritability. He originally just wanted to find a quiet place to take a short rest, but he accidentally overheard a conversation between several sect members outside, and the content was actually related to him.

"Alas, why am I always responsible for everything?" Luo Dan whispered to himself, his tone full of helplessness. He rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the sudden headache. These things clearly had nothing to do with him, so why did he always have to be involved?
----------

He shook his head helplessly, and his eyes unconsciously turned to Pei Sheng who was standing not far away. Pei Sheng was a capable assistant in the City Lord's Mansion. He could always handle various trivial matters skillfully. At this moment, he was looking at the screen where Luo Dan was hiding with a blank face, obviously not knowing that Luo Dan was behind him.

"Pei Sheng, Pei Sheng, you have to do me a favor this time." Luo Dan thought to himself, and then he walked out from behind the screen quietly, trying not to make any noise. However, Pei Sheng was still keenly aware of the movement, and he turned his head sharply and saw Luo Dan walking towards him.

"Lord Luodan, why are you here?" Pei Sheng asked in surprise, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Luo Dan did not answer directly, but patted Pei Sheng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Go and find a way to make these sects stop staring at me. I have things to deal with, so I will leave first."

When Pei Sheng heard this, his eyes instantly widened. He pointed at Luo Dan, opened his mouth wide, but didn't utter a word for a long time. His heart was filled with disbelief and innocent grievances - why was it him again? He clearly did nothing, why was he always pushed to the forefront?
"Lord Luodan, this... this is not appropriate, right?" Pei Sheng finally managed to say something, his voice trembling a little, "I... I'm just a small assistant, how can I let those sects not keep an eye on you?"

Luo Dan sighed helplessly. He knew Pei Sheng's difficulties, but he had no other choice at the moment. He could only pat Pei Sheng's shoulder again and said firmly: "Pei Sheng, I believe in your ability. You have always been very smart, and you will definitely be able to come up with a solution this time. Remember, I just don't want to be bothered by these trivial matters. You just need to help me delay for a while. When I finish the things at hand, I will come back naturally."

After saying that, Luo Dan turned around and was about to leave, leaving Pei Sheng standing there alone, his face full of distress and helplessness. He looked at Luo Dan's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this mission was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, but he also understood that since Lord Luo Dan had given him such an important mission, it was a sign of his trust and affirmation of him.

"Oh, forget it. Since Lord Luodan trusts me so much, I will do my best." Pei Sheng made up his mind secretly, and then he began to think about how to deal with the entanglement of those sects.

Luo Dan walked out of the room quickly. Although he was still a little irritated, he was more looking forward to the future. He knew that only by getting rid of these trivial matters could he focus more on his own affairs and achieve his goals faster.

"I hope Pei Sheng can handle it smoothly." Luo Dan prayed in his heart, and at the same time quickened his pace and walked towards the depths of the City Lord's Mansion. He knew that there were more challenges and opportunities waiting for him ahead, and he was ready.

Luo Dan's decision and Pei Sheng's collapse

In a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Dan and Pei Sheng stood face to face, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Luo Dan's eyes were firm and deep, as if he had made an important decision. Pei Sheng, on the other hand, had a face full of doubts and uneasiness, and he obviously had not recovered from Luo Dan's words just now.

"Luodan, are you sure? This is not a joke?" Pei Sheng's voice trembled slightly. He looked at Luodan in disbelief, hoping that this was just a joke.

Luo Dan frowned slightly, his eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, but more of determination. "Of course I'm not kidding, Pei Sheng, I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion. There are some things that I must handle personally, otherwise, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary attention, and then it will be troublesome."

Pei Sheng became even more anxious after hearing this. "But, Lord Luodan, if you go, what if..." He hesitated, obviously worried about Luodan's safety.

Luo Dan patted Pei Sheng on the shoulder, his tone full of trust and encouragement. "Don't worry, Pei Sheng. With you here, I believe you can handle everything. You just need to help me hold back those people from the big sects and don't let them mess around. As for the other things, I will take care of them."

After saying that, Luo Dan turned around and prepared to leave. However, when he was about to leave the secret room, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Pei Sheng, with a mysterious smile on his face. "By the way, Pei Sheng, I also left a little helper for you."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Dan's figure suddenly became blurred, and then, an avatar that looked exactly like Luo Dan appeared in the secret room. This avatar was almost indistinguishable from Luo Dan himself, both in appearance and temperament, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"This is..." Pei Sheng widened his eyes and looked at the clone in front of him, his heart filled with shock.

"This is my clone. He will be here to help you deal with those people from the big sects. With him around, you should be able to feel a lot more relaxed." Luo Dan explained, and then his figure became blurred again, and finally disappeared completely in the secret room.

Pei Sheng looked at the direction where Luo Dan left, then looked at the clone in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. (End of this chapter)
