"You...are you a human or a ghost?"
Seeing the black-robed man suddenly appear in the secret room, Hou Shen was startled at first. When he reacted, he immediately asked in a cold voice, "How did you get in?"
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Facing Hou Shen's questioning, Emperor Jiu clapped his hands and chuckled softly, "No wonder I haven't found the whereabouts of the Flame Dragon Martial Arts School's owner. It turns out he's been imprisoned by you."
After saying that, Di Jiu looked at Hou Shen deeply and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect that you, a big and strong man, would have such a hobby."
"Um?"
Hearing Di Jiu's words, the middle-aged man tied to the wooden frame was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses in an instant and began to curse: "Hou Shen, you reckless man, you f*cking let me down right now. If you dare to do anything to me, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
"What a mess!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's cursing, Hou Shen frowned and slashed towards Di Jiu with his sword.
"I don't care where you come from. Now that you've entered this secret room, don't even think about getting out alive."
Hou Shen's sword was heavy. As Hou Shen slashed with it, a violent airflow suddenly surged in the secret room.
"clang!"
With the sword-fingered finger of his right hand, Emperor Jiu pressed Hou Shen's broadsword hard to the ground.
“Boom!”
The secret room trembled, and the torture instruments inside kept falling to the ground, making a clanging sound.
“So… so strong!!!”
Looking at the black-robed man who pressed Hou Shen's sword to the ground with just a sword finger, the middle-aged man swallowed secretly and gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to escape.
“Damn it!”
Hou Shen tried hard to lift the suppressed big knife, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Headbutt!"
The huge bald man exerted force and Hou Shen slammed hard into Di Jiu's head.
More stubborn?
Feeling Hou Shen's movement, Di Jiu loosened his sword finger and charged towards Hou Shen's bald head.
"Bang!"
A sound like a big bell being struck was heard. Hou Shen took a few steps back in a daze and sat down on the ground.
"You were smart not to take the opportunity to escape."
Di Jiu took two steps forward and kicked the dazed Hou Shen unconscious. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I'll give you two choices. The first one is death."
"I choose the second one."
As soon as Emperor Jiu’s first choice came out, the middle-aged man couldn’t wait to speak.
"The second one?"
Emperor Jiu looked the middle-aged man up and down, and said in a dark tone: "The second one is worse than death."
“…”
After staring blankly at the black-robed man who was walking in front of him, the middle-aged man said decisively, "Then I'll choose the first one."
"As you wish."
Emperor Jiu's sword finger suddenly exerted force, and a powerful pressure immediately descended upon the middle-aged man.
"My life is over!"
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the sword finger, the middle-aged man closed his eyes resignedly.
"Um?"
Feeling what appeared in his mind, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the black-robed man in front of him in disbelief.
The Flame Dragon Art and Flame Dragon Slash at the level of perfection, and the Flame Dragon Sword Intention at the level of great success, aren't these the abilities that the Flame Dragon City Lord possesses?
The black-robed man in front of me is Lord Yanlong?
No, that's not right.
These skills, martial arts, and sword skills are indeed the abilities of Lord Yanlong, but to easily impart these abilities to others is definitely not an ability that Lord Yanlong can possess.
"You can call me God!"
As if knowing what the middle-aged man was thinking, Di Jiu stared into his eyes and spoke.
"god?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly confused.
But soon, with the outbreak of the Holy Soul Seed, he knelt on his knees, bowed respectfully to Emperor Jiu, and called him "Lord God".
In the early stage of the Venerable Realm, he can do it effortlessly.
After successfully implanting the soul in the middle-aged man, Emperor Jiu turned his attention to Hou Shen.
With a slight tap of the sword finger, a holy soul seed immediately followed Di Jiu's finger and rushed towards Hou Shen's soul.
"Buzz!"
The power of the soul trembled, and the holy soul seed rampaged in Hou Shen's body, but could not enter Hou Shen's soul.
"It still doesn't work."
Looking at Hou Shen's big bald head, Di Jiu shook his head and suddenly activated the Holy Soul Art.
"Buzz!"
The power of the Holy Soul erupted, and the Holy Soul seeds in Hou Shen's body transformed into mysterious runes, rushing towards the depths of Hou Shen's soul.
Soul puppet, forcibly refined.
"Hou Shen, I pay my respects to the Divine Lord."
Emperor Jiu nodded and said, "The more chaotic things are in the North City, the better. You must attract the people from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, Lord God."
After exchanging a glance with the middle-aged man, Hou Shen and the middle-aged man clasped their fists and bowed at the same time.
…
City Lord's Mansion, Hall.
The Lord of Baihe City frowned and stared at the information in his hand.
"Lord City Lord, let's send someone to take over the North City District."
Seeing that the White Crane City Lord had remained silent, the housekeeper spoke up, "I don't know what the Big Knife Gang has been doing these past few days. They've been fighting with the Blood Oath Alliance and the Red Clothes Society. They've almost ruined the business in the North City District.
If this continues, no one will dare to do business in the North District."
"no."
The Lord of White Crane City shook his head and said, "The Blood Alliance is backed by Wenjun City, and the Red Clothes Society is backed by Suzaku City. Neither of these forces can be dealt with by White Crane City."
"Lord City Lord."
The steward clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "There's something I'm not clear on. As a member of the Bai family, why would the City Lord be so wary of the people from the three great cities?"
After hearing the housekeeper's words, the Lord of Baihe City was silent for a moment, then said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Although Baihe City is backed by the Bai family, the Bai family will not interfere in Baihe City's affairs. Unless I am in danger of falling, the Bai family will not send anyone to Baihe City."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this top-secret news, the butler was stunned.
He always thought that the city lord did not care about the major forces in the city because he was too lazy to do so.
But I didn’t expect…
"Surprising, right? I was surprised too."
The Lord of Baihe City stood up and looked at the City Lord's Mansion outside the hall and said, "When the Patriarch sent me to Baihe City to serve as the City Lord, I had the same expression as you."
After saying this, the White Crane City Lord couldn't help but clench his fists and whispered indignantly, "I was wondering why those guys would all avoid such a good job as the City Lord, and this is what happened."
“…”
In the void, Emperor Jiu, who had eavesdropped on the conversation between the Lord of Baihe City and the housekeeper, remained silent.
After ordering Hou Shen to disrupt the North City District, Di Jiu wandered around the North City District, waiting for people from the City Lord's Mansion to arrive.
However, he waited in the North City District for three days, but there was still no movement in the City Lord's Mansion.
Emperor Jiu, who noticed something unusual in the City Lord's Mansion, chose to sneak into the Mansion again and heard the conversation between City Lord Baihe and the housekeeper.
Does this mean that I have no choice but to take the risk and sneak into the Bai family myself?
