"Exactly! Why doesn't the young master mobilize the city's resources to forcefully suppress and kill him? That way, wouldn't we avoid paying any price?"
"That guy's sword was quite good, and he also had Old Man Luo's storage ring in his hand. It's said that there are a lot of Heavenly Crystal Stones inside. Why did you stop at the crucial moment, young master?"
"Why don't we chase after him and capture him? That way, all these things will belong to you, young master."
I think it's a good idea!
"..."
The four maids stared at the direction Su Bai had left with hostile eyes, and in their conversation, they even seemed to be preparing to harm him.
However, just as they were about to set off, Zhang Daoyi stopped them.
"Young master, why is this?"
"That's right. Although he killed Old Man Luo, it was because Old Man Luo didn't have the support of the city and underestimated him. If we all attack together, with the support of the city, we can definitely take him down easily!"
"Young master, you're not usually such an indecisive person!"
"Why are you stopping us, young master?"
Although the four maids looked puzzled, they did not make any rash moves. They simply looked at Zhang Daoyi and waited for his explanation.
The latter looked in the direction where 450 had left, his expression somewhat grave.
“That person is not simple. You are right. Old Luo was a bit careless. But you should know that this person killed Old Luo in less than a quarter of an hour.”
"To kill a half-saint level expert in such a short time is enough to show that his strength has reached the half-saint level."
"Furthermore, do you think the five of us can kill Old Man Luo within a quarter of an hour?"
These words were spoken.
The four maids remained silent. After thinking for a while, a look of lingering fear appeared on their faces without exception.
They knew very well about Old Man Luo's strength; he was a genuine half-saint level expert, and the number of living beings in his world reached a terrifying two hundred thousand!
Ordinary semi-saint realm experts only number around 100,000, but Old Man Luo has 200,000. This is enough to show that his strength is beyond what ordinary semi-saint realm experts can withstand.
Yet this person was able to kill him with overwhelming force within a quarter of an hour, and without a single wound on his body, not even a trace of weakness in his aura.
It was as if killing Old Man Luo, who was at the half-saint realm, was just a trivial matter to him.
Such performance is enough to demonstrate that this person's strength far surpasses that of Old Man Luo; otherwise, he would never have been able to do it so easily.
"Now you know fear?"
Zhang Dao looked at the four maids with a slight smile, his expression somewhat helpless.
"If this person only has this much strength, then with the combined efforts of thousands of Great Emperors from my Zhang family, plus five Half-Saint Realm experts from my Zhang family, we might not be unable to capture him."
"But this person is no ordinary person. His strength is probably more terrifying than we imagined."
"Could it be that the young master has discovered another terrifying aspect of this person?" a maid asked in shock.
"good."
Zhang Dao nodded.
"What made me completely give up on the idea was the brand on his hand."
“A brand? What brand? I didn’t see it.” A maid asked in confusion.
Another maid rolled her eyes at her, "You were so focused on that guy's face, how could you have noticed that there was a word branded on his hand!"
"What word?" the maid behind asked.
"I didn't see clearly; I was looking at his face too," the maid said helplessly.
"Did you see clearly?"
No, what about you?
"I didn't see it clearly either!"
Soon, the four maids looked at Zhang Daoyi expectantly.
"Young master, we all looked at that guy's face. Although he is handsome, in our hearts, his appearance is terribly ugly. Compared to you, young master, he is a hundred thousand miles inferior!"
A maidservant bowed her head and said.
"You four, you don't need to praise me like that."
Zhang Daoyi smiled.
"It's not shameful to admit that someone is more handsome than me. Besides, that human really does have a handsome face. Even I think he's very handsome."
"Really? So the young master thinks so too!" a maid exclaimed, her eyes wide.
When she realized that all four of them were looking at her, she quickly lowered her head and slapped her mouth.
"I was just joking, young master is the most handsome, young master is the most handsome, young master is the most handsome!"
"Ignore her, young master. Tell us quickly, what word is branded on that person's hand?"
Another maid spoke up.
“That is the word ‘crime’,” Zhang Daoyi said in a deep voice.
"The word 'crime'..."
The four maids murmured to themselves, and after a moment, as if they had thought of something, their faces turned deathly pale.
After a long while, a maid spoke in a trembling voice.
"Young master, you said it was a crime. Could it be that this guy has been issued a kill order by the Heavenly Palace?"
"good."
Zhang Dao nodded. "At that time, I was thinking about whether to make a move when he threw the jade pendant over. It was at that moment that I clearly saw the character for 'sin' branded on his hand."
"Moreover, the branding method is the style of the Heavenly Palace. I have seen similar branding before and I will not mistake it. However... the word 'sin' on his hand is the first time I have seen it."
"Is there any particular reason for this?" a maid asked, still looking shaken.
"certainly."
"Common kill orders use the words 'kill' and 'annihilate,' which correspond to the level of assassins in the Heavenly Palace at the Great Emperor and Half-Saint levels, respectively. However, the word 'crime' on this person's hand corresponds to a Pseudo-Saint level assassin."
"In other words, this person's level of threat is classified as pseudo-saint level within the Heavenly Palace, which means that his strength has reached the pseudo-saint level!"
Zhang Daoyi said with a look of apprehension.
Upon hearing this, the four maids' already pale faces turned even paler.
They couldn't believe that just now, they had actually harbored murderous intent towards a powerful expert with pseudo-saint-level strength!
