"Are you sure?" Luo Niciyan suddenly stood up, looking at the subordinate reporting to him, and asked with some surprise.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I saw that human girl use some kind of magic weapon to make our two Rakshasa disappear all at once. I searched for more than half a month, basically mobilizing all of our people in the human realm. We searched the entire human realm, but we just couldn't find them. Could it be that the two of them have already..." The subordinate didn't dare to continue.
"Are you sure she doesn't have any experts around her to help her?" Luo Niciyan asked his subordinate again.
"I swear to God, this human doll has no expert protection!" the subordinate said, making a solemn vow.
"Go and fetch Luo Meilihua for me. Tell her I have urgent business with her!" Luo Niciyan hadn't expected her son's senior sister in the mortal realm to be so powerful, losing two of her Rakshasa warriors in one fell swoop. It seemed the mortal realm was indeed a very complex place! She had no choice but to ask her little niece for help!
"Aunt, is there something urgent that you called me over?" Luo Meili asked her aunt with some confusion. She had been planning something these past few days, but she never expected to be called over by her aunt, who was someone she had no connection with at all!
"Hmm, you've grown up and become beautiful. The last time I saw you, you were just a little girl with yellow hair. Now you've grown into such a lovely young lady." Luo Niciyan looked at this niece, whom she had no connection with at all, and liked her more and more.
"Aunt, if you just want to call me over so we can chat, then I'm sorry, I really don't have time!" Luo Meilihua didn't give her cheap aunt any face at all.
"Put your little matter aside for now. I'll take you to meet someone. If you like her, then you'll be my daughter-in-law. If you don't, I won't force you or make things difficult for you. You can go back to your work!" Luo Niciyan was not angry at all when she heard her junior speaking to her like this. Instead, she was very appreciative.
"Let me see my cousin? I heard he's back now. I've been too busy to come, so I haven't been able to. Besides, once he comes back, he won't be going anywhere. We'll have plenty of time to meet," Luo Meilihua said.
"Since you're here, I'll show you around first. If it's okay, great; if not, forget it."
"Where is it? I'll go take a look."
"I wonder how my junior sister and master are doing? I am a human, how could I be born from these monsters? Did master make a mistake?" Sanlang sat by the stone table in great distress, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes blank and dazed, unable to even muster the energy to cultivate.
"You're the little cousin who just came back from the human world? You look quite handsome!" Just as Sanlang was in a daze, a melodious voice suddenly rang out, pulling Sanlang's soul back to his body from his reverie.
"You... who are you?" Sanlang was stunned and then a little embarrassed when he saw the beautiful girl who suddenly appeared in front of him. Apart from being with his junior sister, he had never been alone with any other girl when he came out.
"Hehe, I'm your little cousin, a cousin, but not a blood cousin." Luo Meili looked at her simple-minded cousin and smiled.
"Cousin, you're so beautiful!" Sanlang smiled at the girl, making even the budding flowers around them pale in comparison, and exclaimed sincerely.
"Hehe, really? Am I prettier, or is your senior sister prettier?" Luo Meili asked the three wolves with her phoenix eyes as clear as a spring.
"My junior sister is still the prettiest! No one in this world is prettier than my junior sister!" Sanlang said with great certainty.
"Really? Cousin, your senior sister is so beautiful, how did you two meet? Can you tell me? I want to hear it..." Luo Meili grabbed Sanlang's arm and gently shook it while speaking in a coquettish tone. When had Sanlang ever experienced such a scene? It would be a miracle if his senior sister didn't beat him up, let alone dare to act coquettishly towards him? He was probably asking for a beating!
"Ahem... My master told me that my junior sister was originally an abandoned baby..." Sanlang very cautiously distanced himself from Luo Meilihua, and then began to talk enthusiastically about his experiences in the human world with his junior sister and master...
"This little girl really knows how to handle things, hehe. No matter who it is, as long as they're male, none of them can resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Go, little niece!" Luo Niciyan watched her son chatting animatedly with Luo Meilihua and smiled with great satisfaction before quietly leaving...
"So you mean these soldiers can drink alcohol?" Ru Huan looked at Shang San, who was already flushed and swaying from drinking, with a livid face, and then at the deputy general who was supporting Shang San and kept his head down without saying a word.
“Yes, why not? Just because you’re a woman and don’t drink doesn’t mean all the men have to. Is that fair?” Shang San asked Ru Huan, stumbling and arguing with a righteous indignation.
"Are you relaying the message or is it what you actually think?" Ru Huan didn't even look at the drunken Shang San; she just stared intently at the deputy general.
"That's exactly what I thought! It has nothing to do with anyone else. You're just a woman, so just mind your own business. What man doesn't like to have a drink or two? Why be so petty? I've decided that these soldiers can drink! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens to them!" Shang San thumped her chest loudly!
"Hmph! You'll take responsibility? What responsibility can you possibly take?" Ru Huan sneered, looking directly at Shang San.
"You underestimate me? You think you can beat me? If I didn't think you were just a little girl, I would have beaten you up long ago!" Shangsan said, pointing at Ruhuan.
"Oh dear, General, you're drunk. City Lord, please don't take it seriously. General is drunk. I'll help him back right away. I'm so sorry, it's my fault! I'm so sorry..." The deputy general, seeing that the situation was about right, began to act as a peacemaker.
"I'm not drunk! I'm telling the truth! Don't think that just because the city lord is gone, you can do whatever you want now that you're the city lord! Let me tell you! As long as I'm in Shuofeng City, don't even think about bullying these soldiers!" Shang San shouted angrily. The deputy general struggled to pull Shang San out of the city lord's mansion and then left...
"General Shang, you're amazing! A true man! You're my god! We'll follow you from now on!" The lieutenant gave Shang a thumbs up as soon as he came out.
"Why follow me? I'm not the city lord. You should go and follow City Lord Ruhuan..."
“Her? Who would want to serve under a woman? There’s too much to do every day, and too many rules. It’s not like all the men in Shuofeng City are dead. Why do we need a little woman to manage us? Are you kidding me? Why don’t we just drag her down and let you lead us to eat and drink well!” The lieutenant looked at Shang San with hopeful eyes.
"Isn't this a bit unfair? It feels like a bunch of grown men are bullying a little girl." Shang San looked at the deputy general with some interest, clearly tempted.
"Since ancient times, the capable have always risen to the top. We are of a higher level than her, so why should we yield to her? Besides, we will have a better chance of winning when the city lord competition begins, and we will receive more rewards from the imperial court," the vice-president continued to tempt her.
"What city lord competition? How come I don't know about it?" Shang San was shocked. He didn't expect that this damn opportunist would have such information.
"Hehe, actually we didn't know at first, but our former city lord told us when he was drunk and bragging that the imperial court was recruiting talents and held a city lord competition once every ten years! The top ten can directly serve as high-ranking officials in the imperial court and receive a lot of rewards. Those who are not in the top ten also receive rewards, but not as much," the vice-general continued, his eyes shining as he tempted Shang San.
"Such a good thing? Then why didn't the former city lord participate?"
"According to him, he just wants to live a carefree life and doesn't want to engage in the cutthroat world of officialdom, doing all sorts of shady and underhanded things every day. He feels it's not worth it to be an upright person like himself, living a life darker than a ghost in the underworld!" The deputy general curled his lip, feeling that he strongly disagreed with his former city lord's words.
"Then you can represent our Shuofeng City to participate?" Shang San asked, looking at the deputy general.
"I'm not qualified. Only a deputy city lord or higher can do it. Besides, with my strength, I'd just get crushed. I just want Shuofeng City to make a name for itself and shine among the many cities of the imperial court," the deputy general said, his reasoning sounding very noble.
"Sigh... I don't want to go to events like this. There are too many rules, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. It's not as enjoyable as drinking and eating meat here. Oh well!" Shang San waved his hand and gave up the idea of going to the city lord competition.
"Hehe, General Shang is wise, General Shang is magnanimous!" The deputy general looked at Shang San and gave him a thumbs up in praise, but the sinister look in his eyes was almost overflowing...
"A bunch of unambitious bastards! I'm so angry!" After returning home, the deputy general smashed things in his room, venting his anger.
"What? Nobody's going to fight for that damn city lord position you mentioned? These people have already reached the Xuan rank and have no attachment to worldly power anymore, so I think you shouldn't waste your time!" A voice suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, a very alluring woman appeared on the previously empty couch, leaning against it and looking at the lieutenant with hazy, seductive eyes.
"How long will it take you to finish building this passage? Ever since Ru Huan arrived, I've had a feeling every day that something big is about to happen. You'd better finish it as soon as possible, or we'll all be doomed if these humans find out!" The lieutenant asked the woman coldly.
"We were almost finished, but about two weeks ago, some unknown creature suddenly appeared in our passage and destroyed it! We're still repairing it now," the woman said, looking frustrated.
"Half a month ago? That wasn't..." The lieutenant suddenly realized something and immediately stopped speaking.
"Do you know this creature? Where is he now? I'm going to tear him apart alive!" The woman suddenly appeared beside the lieutenant, her two golden vertical pupils staring intently at him.
"You? Even if there were a dozen more, they wouldn't be a match for them. Besides, they're no longer here. If you want revenge, go to the Battlefield of the Gods!" The lieutenant reached out and rubbed the woman's beautiful cheek.
The woman looked at the lieutenant, whose expression didn't seem to indicate he was lying. Then, she transformed into a gust of black wind and reappeared on the couch, frowning as if deep in thought...
"So the human world is so much fun... It's a pity we're all trapped in this cage and can't go out and see the outside world. I really want to go to the human world. I'm so tired of being in this Asura world..." Luo Meili said with her hands supporting her chin, looking longing.
"Do you know if there's a place to the human world from here? I'll take you there, and I'll treat you to human food, blue skies, clear water, soft clouds like cotton, and..." Sanlang rattled off a whole bunch of things.
"It seems there isn't one. I'll go back and ask our ancestors for you. Don't leave me behind and run away by yourself, okay, little cousin!" Luo Meili winked and said to Sanlang in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"No, once you find out, I'll take you to the human realm!" Three Wolves said seriously.
"See? It seems my little cousin doesn't like his hometown. He's always thinking about how to leave. Aunt, this can't go on!" Luo Meili looked at Luo Niciyan with a half-smile.
"Let me tell you the truth. A few days ago, I sent two Rakshasa to the human realm to capture her junior sister. They didn't care if she was alive or dead; I just wanted to make Sanlang give up on this idea. But the two Rakshasa I sent out disappeared! I don't know where they went! I heard from my spies in the human realm that these two Rakshasa went after a woman named Ruhuan, but later their two Rakshasa disappeared and their fate is now unknown!" Luo Ni Ciyan said.
"Hehe, Aunt, you're too hasty. You don't even know anything about this woman named Ruhuan, yet you dared to send two Rakshasa to kill people. If Ruhuan catches them, she'll give them a good beating. If they can't take it and tell us everything, I wonder if Ruhuan will come to us to demand justice? Or perhaps she'll gather a group of human powerhouses to conquer our Asura World..." Luo Meilihua said.
"Hmph! I'm just waiting for her to come. Why would I be afraid she won't come?" Luo Niciyan said viciously.
"I do have a way that might make my little cousin lose all hope in his senior sister, and maybe he'll even kill the senior sister he loves so much." Luo Meili smiled sweetly.
"Oh? Then tell me?" Luo Niciyan's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Luo Meilihua and asked.
"I want my little cousin to take me to the human world!" Luo Meilihua said to Luo Niciyan.
"No way!" Luo Niciyan refused without even thinking!
"Fine, then you and your precious son can live together in a superficial way until the end of time. Excuse me!" Luo Meilihua was very decisive. Knowing that Luo Niciyan would not agree, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Luo Niciyan yelled at Luo Meilihua.
"Is there anything else?" Luo Meili asked Luo Niciyan with a smile.
"Tell me your thoughts!" Luo Niciyan looked at this cunning woman and finally gave in.
"My plan is to let them fight amongst themselves first, so they won't have time to deal with us. Otherwise, they'll find out about our scheme sooner or later!" the lieutenant said, looking at the woman lying on the couch.
"Do you think those two will turn against each other? Maybe they're testing you, and then they might team up to trick you!" the alluring woman said.
"Judging from tonight's events, this creature called 丄彡 seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with the city lord. It's probably because the city lord is holding it back and it has no way to resist," the lieutenant said with certainty.
"Since you know that this woman is holding him back, aren't you afraid that she will kill him?" the alluring woman said.
"So we're just sending this guy to cause trouble for the city lord, nothing serious, just lots of minor issues!" the lieutenant said.
"Then you need to be careful. When you're with them, make sure they're not working together to scam you," the alluring woman instructed.
"Yes, I understand. Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, shouldn't we talk about our business?" the lieutenant said, his eyes burning with desire as he looked at the alluring woman.
"What do you want me to become this time?" The alluring woman smiled seductively.
"Our city lord! Ruhuan!" the lieutenant said through gritted teeth...
"What? A battle for the title of city lord?" He then frowned and looked at Shang San.
"Yes, this deputy general told me that the human court holds this event every ten years, inviting the city lords of each city to participate! And then selects the top experts to serve the court!"
"The former city lord also mentioned this to me, but I didn't pay attention. Our goal isn't to live a life of luxury and power; I just want to find the way to the Battlefield of the Gods! To find my mother and my master!" Ru Huan said.
"Battlefield of the Gods? What kind of place is that?" asked Shangsan.
“This place is extremely dangerous. My mother and master were kidnapped by a local god. I was going there too, but what will happen to my three older sisters and two bastards if I leave? So I need to find a place to settle them down first before I go to the Battlefield of the Gods!” Ru Huan said.
"The gods? Tsk tsk tsk, I'd love to see them. When are you going? Take me with you, I want to go see them too!" Shang San chuckled.
“You’ll die, it’s not worth it,” Ru Huan said.
"What's the point of whether it's worth it or not? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. If I'm afraid of this or that, then I'll just stay in my own world. Why would I come out with you? Since we're here, we should live up to our lives, do as we please, follow our hearts and nature. Otherwise, how can we improve our path?" Shang San said to Ru Huan.
"Sigh... I regret it now. If you hadn't come out with me, you would have been a giant in two more eras. Now that you've come out, I feel like I've ruined you," Ru Huan said with some guilt.
"If I don't want to come out, do you think you can find a way to pull me out? You're just being presumptuous!" Shangsan rolled her eyes and said.
"You can't reason with a damned devil! Just don't blame me later!" Ru Huan was also angered by Shang San and said angrily.
"Hehe, whether I live or die is up to me. I don't even consider you little whelps in front of me!" Shang San said, looking down at Ru Huan.
"How is it, cousin? Did you find out from the ancestors where you can get out of here?" Sanlang asked Luo Meilihua, who had just sat down, somewhat impatiently.
"My little cousin, could you please pour me a glass of water? I'm dying of thirst! All you care about is whether I've found out any information or not. You don't care about me at all, humph!" Luo Meilihua said coquettishly.
"Hehe, cousin, you've worked hard. It's my fault, it's my fault. Come, come, this is the flower tea I just brewed especially for you. It has anti-aging effects!" Sanlang hurriedly fawned over Luo Meilihua.
"Hmph! That's more like it. I've already found out that there is a place here that leads to the human world. Otherwise, your master would have sent you back so quickly, but..." Luo Meili suddenly changed her tone, looking at the three wolves with a hint of helplessness.
"Is there some difficulty?" Sanlang looked at Luo Meilihua and knew she must have encountered some trouble.
“Yes, but this passage can only be passed by beings like us. But in your current state, I feel you’ll be torn to pieces by the tunneling blades inside!” Luo Meilihua said, looking at the three wolves with pity.
"No way? When my master brought me in, nothing happened. Why do we have to turn into the same state as you when we leave?" Three Wolves asked, puzzled.
"Who are we? And who is your master? He's a terrifying being who can gang up on your entire Luo family! Protecting a little Chuan Chuan like you here is a piece of cake, a piece of cake. We can't do that. We beings who haven't even reached the Xuan rank have no chance to dodge those omnipresent tunnel blades! We can only pass by in fear. Otherwise, do you think we don't want to go to another world? We just can't escape. Oh, by the way, little cousin, what level of strength have you reached now?" Luo Meili asked with a curious expression.
"I haven't even advanced to the Earth Rank yet!" Sanlang's face had never been so embarrassed. Back in the mortal realm, he had his senior sister and master to back him up, so he didn't care whether he cultivated or not. Now that he thought about it, he was really a fool.
"Huh? You haven't reached the Earth Rank yet? Hahaha... Sorry, I really couldn't help it! Hahaha... Didn't your master teach you cultivation? It seems your master knows you're not one of his kind, so it's rare for him to teach you. Poor little cousin..." Luo Meili looked at the three wolves with a pitying gaze.
"No, it wasn't me. It was me. Back then, I was bullied, but my junior sister stood up for me, and my master protected me. So I felt I could stay behind them forever. I never expected..." Sanlang said with a hint of disappointment.
“If it were really as you say, then even if you wanted to go to the human realm, you wouldn’t have the ability. I’m like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river; I can’t possibly help you,” Luo Meilihua said.
"Wait for me, I'm going to start cultivating now! I won't leave seclusion until I reach the Profound Rank!" With that, Three Wolves vanished in an instant...
"What's going on? Sanlang came to me asking for a quiet room so he can cultivate! When did he become so attentive?" This time, Luo Niciyan looked at Luo Meilihua with new respect.
"Then just give it to him. He said himself that he wouldn't leave seclusion until he reached the Profound Rank!" Luo Meili Hua said casually.
"What did you do to provoke him? Why is he suddenly so enthusiastic?" Luo Niciyan asked Luo Meilihua with great interest.
"Want to know? I can't tell you now! I'll tell you when he reaches the Profound Rank. Be prepared then, because he might go to the mortal realm as soon as he emerges from seclusion!" Luo Meilihua finished speaking and then left...
"What did you say? You're the city lord of Shuofeng City now? Where is Ji Xianghuang? Where did she die?" A man who looked like an official led a large group of soldiers into Shuofeng City and arrived at the city lord's mansion. Upon seeing Ruhuan, he shouted at her loudly.
"Lord Ji has gone to a place on very important business and has temporarily entrusted this city to me. May I ask who you are...?" Ru Huan asked the imposing man in a humble yet assertive manner.
"Insolence! This is our Xiaopo Marquis! Do you want to exterminate our clan?" One of the lieutenants drew his sword and pointed it at Ruhuan, as if he could kill her at any moment!
"So you're the Marquis of Xiaopo? You've come at the right time. This is the letter from Ji Xianghuang that you asked about. Now that you're here, I can retire gracefully. Farewell!" Ru Huan completely ignored the seemingly fierce-looking deputy general and took out a folded piece of cloth from her pocket, handing it to the man called the Marquis of Xiaopo.
Xiao Po Hou took the cloth handed to him by Ru Huan, unfolded it, and frowned. His face grew increasingly gloomy, and finally, the cloth spontaneously combusted in Xiao Po Hou's hand...
"Halt! These two are remnants of the previous dynasty. Seize these two traitors immediately!" Just as Ru Huan and Shang San were about to leave, Xiao Po Hou suddenly launched an attack!
"Hehe, see? These humans are all experts at courting death. My forty-meter-long sword is itching for a fight. Just give me a word: kill or not?" Shang San smiled and asked Ru Huan, looking at the wolf-like soldiers.
"Lord Xiaopo! How many children do you have?" Ruhuan asked very calmly.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Po Hou looked at Ru Huan with some confusion, wondering what the little girl's intention was in asking his child.
"Hehe, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just afraid that after you die, there would be no descendants to inherit your marquisate, and someone else would benefit from it!" Shang San chuckled.
"Insolence! Take this!" The deputy general beside the Marquis of Xiaopo roared, leaping up and swinging his broadsword fiercely at Shang San's head!
"Bang!" Before the lieutenant could even reach the top of the tower, he exploded like a balloon, soaking the group below to the bone and leaving them covered in blood!
"Ugh..." Some soldiers couldn't stand the strong smell of blood on their bodies and started vomiting on the spot.
"At your age, stop shouting and threatening others. We are all civilized people. Besides, don't think that just because you have more people you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, there are many, many people in this world you can't afford to offend, including that true dragon emperor in your court. So stop making a scene all day and start cultivating some good karma!" Shang San came to Xiao Po Hou, then took out a piece of cloth and wiped the blood off Xiao Po Hou's face while lecturing him.
"Please, spare me! I have a ninety-year-old mother and two infants crying for food. Please, spare my life!" Xiao Po Hou, who had been arrogant at the beginning, suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. A foul smell emanated from his genitals.
"Hey, besides fighting and killing, there's also poetry and distant places in the martial world. We should all be civilized people from now on, understand?" Shang San didn't look down on the terrified Xiao Po Hou and bent down to help the trembling Xiao Po Hou up.
With a "thud," Shang San looked at the bronze short sword piercing his chest in surprise. The short sword had pierced through his chest and reached his back! Xiao Po Hou, who had been terrified just moments before, was now grinning wickedly, looking at Shang San as he slowly and incredulously collapsed to the ground...
"Hehe, now that your backer is gone, I'll give you two choices: first, become my forty-fourth concubine; second, die!" Xiao Po Hou looked at Ru Huan, wishing he could pin her down right now!
"Are you alright? Didn't you check the almanac before you came here? You shouldn't come from this direction, or you'll run into an evil star." Ru Huan looked at Xiao Po Hou with a very amused expression.
"A jinx? I don't care what kind of star it is. If it meets me, it either becomes my man, or I'll turn it into a dead star!" Xiao Po Hou grinned maliciously, looking at Ru Huan as if she were a little lamb.
"I'll give you two choices: either I leave, or I kill you and then I leave!" Ru Huan said, looking at the arrogant Marquis.
"You have spirit, you're powerful enough, but can you stand against my Shuofeng City and my personal guards all by yourself?" Xiaopo Hou said to Ruhuan with confidence.
"Sigh... You have a path to heaven but choose not to, and you insist on coming to the netherworld when there is no way! Fine, I'll just do what Heaven says and rid the people of this scourge!" Ru Huan sighed and said.
"Capture her alive! We can cut off her hands and feet!" Xiao Po Hou glanced at Ru Huan, then sat down in the city lord's seat, waiting for this little girl to come kneeling and begging for mercy...
"Kill!" The huge city lord's mansion was filled with murderous intent. Countless soldiers and deputy generals wanted to show off in front of their lord. On the other side was just a callow, immature girl. They were all big and strong men. Let alone fight her, even if they were to let her beat them without fighting back, she might be beaten weak by now.
Ru Huan looked at these soldiers who were like hungry wolves, but she was not flustered at all. She just coldly watched the soldiers getting closer and closer. The Severing Thought appeared in her hand. She casually drew a line in the air and a ripple more than ten meters long silently swept towards the fierce soldiers!
All the soldiers felt a slight chill on their waists, then their vision blurred, and their upper bodies crashed heavily to the ground, their lower bodies were already behind them, and their internal organs fell out of their bodies and spilled onto the ground...
Nearly five hundred soldiers were all cut in two in less than a round. Countless wails rang out, and soldiers who were not yet dead were dragging their half-bodied bodies around with their bare hands, like evil ghosts from the netherworld...
When had Xiao Po Hou ever seen such a scene? He realized he had encountered a ruthless character he shouldn't have met, but it was too late for regrets. The feud was already set, and this woman would not let him off easily!
Seeing Ru Huan approach him step by step, the unfathomable weapon in her hand looming in and out of sight, Xiao Po Hou knew that it was a lie to say he wasn't afraid of her. He was ready. When this woman got any closer, he would unleash his ultimate weapon and perish together with her, so that she wouldn't cause trouble for his family after killing him.
"Didn't you read Ji Xianghuang's letter carefully? Or do you simply not believe him? Or do you feel that what he said is alarmist, and that you think these things are all fabricated by him?" Ru Huan looked at Xiao Po Hou, then stopped about ten meters away, coldly staring at Xiao Po Hou, and asked.
"So what if you've seen it? Nonsense! No matter how powerful you are, can you stand against the imperial court behind me? Can you destroy our human realm?" Xiao Po Hou said stubbornly.
"The entire human realm is nothing but someone else's livestock pen, and you are just a bunch of livestock they raise. You're still gloating here. I don't know if others can kill you, but I can kill you now. Don't think that just because you have a trump card, I won't dare to kill you. You want to die with me? My lord, you're really stubborn!" Ru Huan said to Xiao Po Hou.
"How did you know?" Xiao Po Hou panicked a little, not expecting that his trump card had been discovered by the other party! How could he possibly turn the tables now? Xiao Po Hou's face turned pale, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Can I leave now, Lord Marquis?" Ru Huan asked, looking at Marquis Xiao Po.
“You can’t leave now. I came here to ask Ji Xianghuang for help. Now that you’ve taken over as the city lord of Shuofeng City, you can handle my matter.” Xiaopo Hou finally put down his airs of power and knew that using his authority to intimidate these people was useless.
"Hehe, but I don't want to do it anymore! I don't want to be bossed around and ordered around by a stupid lord like you all day long. I just want to be a carefree hermit. I'm not interested in your world of fame and fortune! Get up! What are you doing lying on the ground? You know this old geezer is wicked, yet you still try to get close to him. You deserve to get a good kick," Ru Huan kicked Shang San, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, in annoyance.
"Hey, hey, don't kick my face! I need this face to make a living!" Shang San quickly protected his face and got up from the ground.
"What? Wasn't he already killed by me?" Seeing Shang San get up from the ground, Xiao Po Hou was so frightened that he didn't even realize his voice cracked.
"You think you can kill me with this little broken sword? You're being too naive," said Shang San, holding the bronze short sword he had pulled straight from his chest.
"Impossible! This is the family treasure passed down through generations, and it has drunk the blood of countless gods and demons in the past! How could it not kill you?" Xiao Po Hou said incredulously.
This bronze short sword was a reward from King Wen when his ancestor followed him in his campaign against Chaoge. It was said to have been taken from General Fenshui, who was riding a leopard. In the past, when demons and monsters saw this bronze short sword, some were instantly reduced to ashes, while others knelt down and begged for mercy. But he never expected to encounter two formidable figures in this small city of Shuofeng who were not afraid of this bronze short sword at all!
"Hehe, really? Why does it look like a piece of scrap metal?" Shang San played with the bronze short sword in his hand, casually infusing it with a wisp of Dao Qi.
"Clang!" The bronze short sword emitted a sword's cry, and the dark green patina on its blade began to flake off, revealing a hazy, crimson glow emanating from its yellowish-red body! What a deadly weapon!
Looking at the changes in the bronze short sword in his hand, Shang San felt as if something inside was trying to burst out! Curious, Shang San used his divine sense to enter the bronze short sword.
"Give me your life!" A gigantic club, blotting out the sky, descended from the heavens! It smashed directly towards Shang San's head!
Without thinking, he threw a punch at the sudden giant club!
"Boom!" Countless cracks appeared in the surrounding space! The shockwave from the collision of the fist and the giant club instantly pulverized everything around them, destroying everything in its path!
"Holy crap, what the hell is this monster?" Shang San shook his slightly numb hand! Although the attack was sudden, he hadn't used his full strength, but he already felt that the monster on the other side was a madman!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" In a world where dust flew everywhere, an extremely angry roar rang out from not far away, shaking the entire world as if it would collapse at any moment. Countless golden runes flashed at the edge of the world, forcefully suppressing the unwilling roar within!
"Lord Xiaopo, you should thank me. Do you know what's inside this heirloom of yours?" Shang San withdrew her divine sense and asked Lord Xiaopo with a smile.
"There's something else in here? What kind of treasure is it? If I get it, will I ascend to immortality?" Xiao Po Hou's eyes gleamed with greed.
