“Who’s there?”
“How dare you!”
The group of Mei clansmen in black robes spun their heads to look toward the main entrance. They roared while unleashing their aura!
The entire palace was filled with an evil aura, which formed into a solid matter, giving off a ghastly roar. Suddenly, it was as if the aura had turned into a demonic hand.
The Black Robe Protector and the Holy Son also lifted their heads to look in the direction of the main entrance. However, they were not agitated and were fully composed. They sat with their legs crossed and the aura from their body did not have any fluctuation.
They were very confident in their ability.
As a high-ranking powerhouse, they had to always remain composed whenever they were dealing with anything, and handle things in a calm manner.
It was not a big deal when someone came forth to provoke them.
There would naturally be some underlings to take care of it.
All they needed to do was to throw a disdainful look or two over to them. That would suffice.
In front of the main entrance of the Zhang family, the air current was twisted and an outline came flashing toward them.
Chu He’s footstep came to a halt. His emotions were fazed and his gaze flowed like a ripple. Every piece of scenery within the grounds of the Zhang family were all scenes for him to enjoy, flashing past his vision along with various sounds.
People who were patrolling in public, the cautious people hiding in the shadows, those who were flirting in broad daylight, the laborers, and everything else, were all like a film being displayed in fast motion.
After a moment, Chu He’s face cracked into a smile when he saw Zhao Yuling who was being locked up.
She seemed to be in a rather embarrassing predicament.
However, it looked like she was just fine.
“As long as she’s alright!”
Chu He nodded.
After confirming Zhao Yuling’s location, Chu He was not in a hurry to rush over to her. His gaze shifted around quickly, like a computer mouse being shifted to a designated target. After a long time, he looked at the huge palace which he found rather unpleasant when he first saw it from far away.
Coincidentally, he heard the group of foreign clansmen having a discussion.
Chu He let out a cold snort.
His outline blinked, and he entered the Zhang household. Then, after a few continuous blinks, he had made his way to the front of the palace at lightning speed. He did not pause, and with his hands tucked behind him, he walked straight into the palace.
“Who are you?”
A greeting was heard.
A powerhouse of the Mei clan got to his feet.
The evil aura seemed to solidify into a fierce ghost, and then it pounced at Chu He.
Even though the existence that rushed in had a blurry outline and unclear face, it looked undeniably cool and dignified.
However, he insisted that it was their territory and with the protectors holding the fort, he was not afraid.
The protectors of his clan were aware of the existence of a Demi-King. Those within the boundaries of the Xia clan ought to be wary lest they bumped into a huge number of enemies. However, if the enemy they encountered was just one person…hmph! There was no need to be afraid at all.
For the past few years, they had long confirmed that the Xia clan’s most powerful fighters were only the three Ultimate Demi-Kings, and those people were all guarding the lands of the borders of the city.
Therefore, the strongest fighter guarding within the city could only be a Demi-King.
Given the abilities of the Mei clan in the lands, it was an easy feat to go against an adversary of such an ability. If the Demi-King of the Xia clan was bold enough to come forth by himself, perhaps he would end up being slaughtered inside their territory.
At that moment, there was indeed a person who was brave enough to come forth by himself, apparently not afraid of death.
Chu He did not look at him. His hand that was behind him moved, and it attracted a piece of gravel from outside the door. With a flick of his finger, the gravel flew through the air.
In that split second, a deep voice was heard. The powerhouse of the Mei clan had just gotten up, and before he could even understand what was going on, the gravel that traveled through space came smashing into him.
Blood splattered like rain.
A Precelestial Ninth Erudition powerhouse of the Mei clan dropped dead, just like that.
He could not even react to it.
He did not even have the chance to call for help.
Everyone’s eyes glittered with shock when they saw the bloody rain sprinkling all over the place.
The protector and the Holy Son on the tall stage could no longer maintain their calm facade. Their gaze looked serious and they suddenly got up.
A Precelestial Ninth Erudition powerhouse got destroyed right in front of them.
They did not know what was going on either.
That was enough to confirm the severity of the matter.
“So, you’re the hidden Ultimate Demi-King of the Lin family?”
A sudden thought flashed within the Black Robe Protector’s mind. He snapped out of his daze as if he had figured out something and his voice changed as well.
They had heard of the story that the Lin family had a hidden Ultimate Demi-King.
However, no one knew about his true nature or his background—it seemed as if he just popped out of nowhere.
Even the men from the Lin family they had captured could not give them details on the matter, let alone the Zhang family.
The only time this fabled person made a move was tens of years ago when the Lin family were faced with a crisis that threatened the annihilation of their people.
Even so, he made a move without ever showing up or revealing his face.
With just one technique, he instantly wiped out five Demi-Kings.
It made it sound like a legend that was being exaggerated.
Despite the fact that there was a huge gap between Demi-Kings and Ultimate Demi-Kings, the Black Robe Protector—who had the abilities of a Demi-King—could not believe that this person managed to tear across space and kill five of them instantly.
The Demi-Kings were not that weak.
Even the Ultimate Demi-King should not be that powerful.
After gaining information from various parties, they had finally come to a conclusion.
‘That elder powerhouse of the Lin family did not exist! It was a fake!’
The only explanation must be that the Xia clan had long ago realized their identity as members of a foreign clan, and had set up an ambush to bait them out and conduct a siege attack to kill them off.
Then, since the Lin family was getting weaker, they thought of this idea.
Coincidentally, the situation of the lands at the borders of Annan was also not steady.
The other parties of the Xia clan went with the flow and cooperated with the Lin family to create an imaginary Ultimate Demi-King to frighten their enemies at the borders.
The Black Robe Protector was sure that he had seen through everything now.
But!
At this moment!
‘What the hell is going on with the existence of this outline that I can’t even see clearly?’
‘Could it be that he’s really the hidden Ultimate Demi-King elder that the Lin family had kept secret?’
‘Did I really get it all wrong?’
‘That existence was not a fabrication of the Lin family to scare others! But it’s actually real?’
The more the Black Robe Protector thought about it, the darker his expression became.
When St. Wu Shuang, who was beside the Black Robe Protector, heard his astonished inquiry, he was instantly stunned and quietly backed off, step by step.
Regardless of whether or not this really was the Ultimate Demi-King, there was no harm in backing off a little.
That was merely being responsible for his life.
“Ultimate Demi-King?”
Chu He shook his head and laughed.
However, he did not intend to explain it.
There was no need.
Those people were already corpses in his eyes!
The reason he did not immediately make a move was that he still had one thing to ask.
“I heard from your conversation that this time, there are quite a number of your clan that had come to the lands of Xia clan. I want to know their exact location, and their abilities too. Make sure to be as precise with it as possible!”
Chu He moved his hand and took out a stack of white papers from the System Space. With that, he would be able to use them as materials to write novels when he was free.
He exerted some strength on his hand, and the white papers came flying everywhere. It may look like a scene of utter chaos, but the destination of each sheet was clear and each piece of white paper had its target.
With just a breath, a piece of white paper appeared in front of each and every one of the Mei clansmen.
The chaotic flurry became peaceful once more.
“Be obedient and cooperative!”
Chu He had his hands behind his back as he walked past the group of Mei clansmen.
He was just like a proctor.
The group of Mei clansmen who had their legs crossed were the students.
“Stop looking around! Start pouring some blood out to write!”
Chu He only took out one brush from the System Space and did not take out any more. It left the Mei clansmen no choice but to endure the grievance. They let their blood flow to make up for the lack of brushes available.
‘Since they will soon die without a trace of their corpses remaining, and their fresh blood will all go to waste, might as well make use of every last drop.’
