They were famous together for many years and often got together for drinks. They were friends, so they wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
Compared to Meng Jing's hope, Meng Chan, who was slumped down next to a tree stump, was heartbroken. The old ancestor was not as clear-headed as I was. Not to mention whether these people would lend a helping hand, even if they were willing to help, how could that evil star let it go?
Although it was the first time they had met today, the other person had left an indelible impression on her.
Based on her years of experience managing the Meng family and the Prince of Dai's mansion, this person was the type who responded better to gentleness than force; the more you threatened him, the more likely he was to court death.
But does the Meng family still have a chance to make him back down...?
At this moment, Zhuang He said, "Young friend, you have already wiped out most of the Meng family, and almost all of the Meng family's experts are dead. You should have vented your anger enough..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zu'an interrupted him, saying, "I haven't vented my anger yet."
Zhuang He's breath hitched. When had someone of his status ever been interrupted so rudely? He was about to lash out, but after glancing at Meng Jing, who looked like a dead dog, he held back.
Anger from Zhuang He: +222 +222 +222...
He was also somewhat surprised and uncertain. He knew Meng Jing's cultivation level all too well. How could he have been defeated so miserably? Could this kid be an Earth Immortal?
But how is that possible?
Before coming here, I had already asked the family members. This kid has only risen to prominence in the last two years. He has only been cultivating for a total of three years. If he can reach the Earth Immortal level, then what are we old guys who have worked hard all our lives?
But the fighting power this kid had shown before was too outrageous. He didn't know much about it because he was far away before. Now that he was in front of him, he secretly released his aura to sense it.
As a result, no fluctuation of vital energy could be sensed from the other party, as if he were just an ordinary person.
But the more things were like this, the less certain he became. Seeing the Meng family's miserable state, if he still treated them as ordinary people, he would have wasted his life.
“Young friend, no matter what the Meng family did, they have learned their lesson and it’s time to let go,” Grand Commandant Zhao Song coughed lightly, stepping in to smooth things over.
"You mean to ignore the facts?" Zuan looked him over coldly.
Zhao Song: "..."
I am a dignified elder of the royal family. Even Zhao Hao has to bow respectfully and call me "Grand Uncle" when he sees me. Is this kid so disrespectful?
Anger points from Zhao Song: +222 +222 +222...
The other eight men also had different expressions, seemingly wanting to lash out, but after seeing Meng Jing's miserable state, they hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, another voice slowly rang out: "Young man, if you release Meng Jing, I can make the decision. The court will forgive and forget what you did today."
The voices seemed to come from afar, but the next moment, a figure took a step forward and appeared directly in front of everyone.
This person was dressed in a black robe with four-clawed golden dragons tattooed on it, clearly a member of the royal family.
The other five members of the Eight Immortals were all taken aback when they saw this person: "Brother Zhao, you've already taken that step?"
The head of the Eight Dukes, Grand Tutor Zhao Chen, is also of the same generation as Zhao Hao's grandfather according to seniority.
Unlike Zhao Song's lineage, which was dwindling in number, his lineage was thriving.
His sons, Zhao Quan and Zhao Zhang, served as Generals of the East and North, respectively, responsible for the defense of the empire's eastern and northern borders, and were powerful figures in the military.
His grandson, Zhao Zai, was the King of Hexi, whose fiefdom bordered that of the King of Yan. He had previously dealt with Yi County and Zu'an.
The old man in black robes said proudly, "That's right. A few days ago, I had already figured out the mystery and become an Earth Immortal."
Although his voice wasn't loud, it resounded throughout every corner of the capital.
The news caused an uproar everywhere, with everyone discussing the explosive news.
The human race has gained another Earth Immortal!
Many people were uneasy because of the successive deaths of the emperor, the Prince of Qi, and the chief priest, worrying that the demon race might take advantage of the situation.
Now that the Earth Immortal has appeared, everyone's hearts have settled down.
Inside a wooden building in Hongxiuzhao, the courtesan Nanxun looked worried: "Oh no, a terrestrial immortal has arrived, along with five other Eight Immortals. Young Master is probably in danger."
She wasn't the only one with this thought; many people looked at Zu'an with some sympathy.
This kid is truly extraordinary, but he's finally met his match.
No matter how powerful he is, how could he be a match for an earth immortal?
In everyone's mind, Earth Immortals are the pinnacle of combat power in this world.
Below the immortals, all are but ants.
Let alone ordinary cultivators, even the five Eight Immortals looked at Zhao Chen with envy, jealousy and hatred. They used to be on equal footing, but he was the only one who took that crucial step.
I'm afraid my friends won't do well, but I'm also afraid they'll do too well.
Zuan replied calmly, "What if I don't let go?"
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat dangerous: "Young man, don't be too arrogant."
"What kind of young man wouldn't be so hot-blooded?" As soon as Zu An finished speaking, the bone-scraping knife seemed to receive a command and, right in front of the other party, directly severed Meng Jing's head.
"How have you all been feeling about my recent updates? While I can't compare to other 'tentacle monster' authors, I've improved so much compared to myself. Not only am I updating twice a day, but the word count is also higher, roughly equivalent to 2.5 chapters before? Okay, I'm saying all this to give you a heads-up: updates might be a bit unstable during the upcoming holiday, and I can't guarantee two updates a day. I'm middle-aged now, and I need to go back to my hometown to visit my parents, and then I'll be going on a long trip with my wife and kids. After all, working people and students only have this kind of long holiday to travel. Things should stabilize after the holiday, so please understand!"
