The Prince of Dai screamed in agony. He had never been in so much pain before, and felt as if his scalp was being ripped off.
Normally, if someone pulled out a hair while combing his hair and hurt him, he would have already kicked them hard.
But now he dared not, not even to show any anger. He could only try to appear pitiful, hoping the other person would take pity on him and be gentler.
"Illegitimate son!" A thunderous roar shook the heavens, and a terrifying aura enveloped the entire Meng residence. Immediately afterward, a beam of azure light shot into the sky, and the clouds in the sky began to gather. In that instant, the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to converge towards the Meng residence.
Many family members were filled with unease. With Hachiko's rebirth, the situation in the capital was likely to change drastically.
At this moment, a figure stepped on auspicious clouds and slowly descended from the sky, floating in mid-air.
Meng Jing of the Meng family, the current Minister of Works, one of the legendary Eight Dukes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a Grandmaster at the peak of the Life Soul Realm!
Zuan sized him up. He was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. He should have been much older than Meng Yi, but his skin was smooth and almost wrinkle-free. Apart from his white hair, which made him look like an old man, he didn't look old at all.
His gaze fell on the auspicious cloud beneath the other's feet, and he thought to himself that this guy was quite good at his job, having come up with such an ingenious way of making his entrance.
The old man's gaze swept across the entire room like lightning, and everyone in the Meng family felt a chill run down their spines, as if their very souls had been seen through.
"Ancestor!" Meng Chan was overjoyed. She knew that the Meng family's ancestor had been in seclusion in the deepest part of the Meng family mansion for many years and had never shown his face. Some outsiders even suspected that he was dead.
Only the Meng family knew that he had always been there, but now he was more concerned with advancing his cultivation and wanted to become a true Earth Immortal; he was not interested in anything else.
Over the decades, the Meng family has repeatedly asked Meng Jing for help in dealing with some powerful enemies, but he has never responded.
Over time, people got used to solving everything on their own and stopped expecting him to help.
Meng Chan had just shouted out of desperation, not expecting any hope, but to her surprise, he actually responded.
Seeing her tear-filled face and choked-up words, Meng Jing raised his hand and said, "No need to say anything more, I know everything."
Meng Chan thought to herself that the ancestor was indeed worthy of being called the ancestor; nothing that happened in this mansion had been kept from him.
But since he knew all this, why didn't he act sooner?
Could it be as the rumors say, that these figures can go into hibernation whenever they want, and that once they make a move, their already dwindling lifespan will be consumed again?
Meng Jing looked at Zu An: "The aura you just exuded that terrified the guest elders of your manor, who dared not attack you, must be some kind of domain. It seems you must be a Grandmaster as well. No wonder those good-for-nothings like Meng Yi suffered such a crushing defeat. Are you currently in the Spirit Wisdom Realm, the Heavenly Ascension Realm, or the Life Soul Realm?"
These are the three realms of a Grandmaster. The Spiritual Wisdom Realm cultivates the Spiritual Wisdom Soul between the eyebrows, which can generate a domain to assist in combat. This is the fundamental difference between a Grandmaster and a Grandmaster.
The Heavenly Ascension Realm involves cultivating the Yin Spirit, allowing the Yin Spirit to leave the body.
The Soul Realm involves cultivating a Soul, allowing the Yin Spirit to be unafraid of the scorching sun and freely emerge during the day. It is only one step away from becoming an Earth Immortal, and he himself is currently at the peak of the Soul Realm.
He never expected the Meng family to suffer such a huge loss this time, but no one could have predicted it.
According to intelligence, this kid has only been cultivating for three years at most.
Who could have imagined that he could go from knowing nothing to becoming a grandmaster in just three years?
Not to mention thousands of years, there has never been anything like this in the entire recorded history of humankind.
No wonder Meng Yi and others made the wrong judgment.
Zuan said calmly, "What, do you want to test my strength before you dare to make a move?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Jing burst into laughter, which quickly echoed throughout the entire capital, causing all the houses to rustle: "You brat, you do have some skill. Reaching the Grandmaster level at such a young age, it's inevitable that you'll become arrogant and conceited. Unfortunately, your foundation is too shallow. You have no idea about the strength of our aristocratic families, nor do you know how terrifying our veteran Grandmasters are."
After he finished speaking, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Almost simultaneously, the Prince of Dai's eyes also gleamed with the same light, and his face no longer showed the timid and cowardly look he had before. Instead, his expression was somewhat similar to Meng Jing's.
He suddenly transformed his hand into a claw and scooped it out from behind, directly attacking Zu An's dantian and dantian, while his other hand simultaneously attacked Zu An's neck.
The aura that erupted from him at that moment was incredibly terrifying and exaggerated.
Meng Chan stared wide-eyed. How could her husband suddenly become so unfamiliar? Didn't I know whether he had the ability or not?
At such close range, a sudden sneak attack by a Grandmaster-level fighter forced Zuan to release his grip on Meng Chan's shoulders.
She felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hurriedly fled forward, arriving behind the ancestor.
He glanced over there again, and his eyes widened in surprise.
The battle is over?
The Prince of Dai screamed in agony. His arms had been broken, and he was once again under Zu An's control. His face had returned to the expression her husband knew.
Zu An looked at Meng Jing with some surprise: "Was that a Yin spirit possessing someone at the Life Soul Realm just now? That's quite interesting."
A Grandmaster at the Soul Realm can make their Yin Spirit move freely without fear of the scorching sun, thus enabling them to attach themselves to objects and achieve the feat of taking a person's head from a thousand miles away with a flying sword.
In addition, the Yin spirit can also briefly possess other people. Just now, it was clearly Meng Jing who suddenly possessed the Prince of Dai, trying to launch a sneak attack on him.
