Wan Hai City was much quieter than usual at night, because for some reason a curfew was in effect.
The residents around the Meng residence inexplicably moved away, and the biting cold wind made the Meng residence seem like a ghost town.
Large numbers of soldiers came from afar, completely surrounding the Meng residence within a mile radius.
The experts from the Six Doors were also mobilized on a large scale to guard the surrounding area and wait for an opportunity to strike.
At the gate of the Meng residence, five elderly men stood quietly. They were court officials, four of whom were experts at the Innate Realm, and the one in the middle had white hair and was a Grandmaster Realm expert!
Behind the five stood a large group of figures dressed in black brocade robes embroidered with gold patterns. They carried uniform long swords and crossbows on their backs. Each of them was expressionless, and a chilling aura emanated from them.
This was the Imperial Guard, a unique body of the imperial court. Like the Six Doors, they were only responsible to the emperor.
If there's any difference between them and the Six Doors, it's that they only care about killing and show no mercy to family members. Although the Six Doors are also infamous, they are more humane and at least they will present you with evidence!
The old man in the middle was named Lin Yangtian. His master-level strength made him overconfident. He was somewhat dissatisfied that Chu Di had made him wait for so many angels. In his opinion, he should have just destroyed the Meng family directly. Why did he need to plan for so long?
Before he left the capital, he was told to obey Chu Di's orders. It's understandable that he felt resentful about being led by someone with innate strength.
Although he had heard that the enemy of Chu was incredibly intelligent, almost demonic, in his worldview, strength was the foundation that determined everything. No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, I'll crush them with a single punch!
Chu Di knew that this Lin Gongfeng was just a brainless brute. He had made a name for himself as the "Brute Vajra" when he was young. Although he was not very smart, his strength was undeniable. He was almost invincible in the Grandmaster realm and was one of the top experts in the Fire Maple Dynasty. So Chu Di didn't bother with him.
As night deepened, a solemn atmosphere filled the Meng residence. Meng Yuhai had not expected the imperial court to suddenly take action against him, surrounding the mansion so tightly that his secret messages had no chance of being sent out!
Thinking things were going to get worse, I forced myself to stay calm. It seemed the only way out was to fight my way out and then think of another solution!
The people in the mansion were still in a daze. Most of them did not know who would dare to besiege the mansion of the governor. Now they could only pray to get through the crisis safely.
"It's midnight, let's make our move!" Lin Yangtian looked up at the sky and said.
He then strode toward the stone lion at the entrance, lifted it with one hand, and with the astonished gazes of the several innate experts, he stomped his foot on the ground, creating a large crater. The ground trembled violently, and with the force of his kick, he shot his body into the sky. He looked toward the Meng mansion and pushed the stone lion in his hand toward the vast mansion in front of him!
'boom'!
With a deafening roar, dust filled the sky, and the earth trembled. The four innate masters secretly groaned in despair. Sure enough, anyone who followed this brute out to work would return with nothing but complaints. When he went berserk, he didn't care about anyone else's feelings at all!
Even the Jinyiwei guards behind them, who never showed their emotions, were cursing inwardly.
After a difficult struggle to regain their footing, the enormous mansion in front of them had already collapsed in half. In front of them was a huge pit with a diameter of several hundred meters. Not to mention the gate, even the surrounding walls and the many layers of inner buildings inside had collapsed.
The four innate masters focused their minds and charged into the mansion, killing anyone they saw. The imperial guards behind them also raised their swords and felled, not even sparing those who had fallen to the ground. They were simply killing machines!
Seeing this bloody scene, the sweeping monk in the distance chanted Buddhist prayers, but he understood that in a world where martial arts reigned supreme, stopping the killing was not an option!
Chu Di ordered that not a single blade of grass grow in the Meng residence, and not a single chicken or dog be spared. It wasn't that he was ruthless; it was the hatred and fear of the demonic path that the entire continent felt towards it, which made them want to eradicate it completely when they encountered it!
Once upon a time, a dynasty did not prohibit martial artists from practicing demonic arts. In the end, that dynasty became the backyard of demonic arts, and the people were displaced, becoming food for them or furnaces for their cultivation techniques! Within ten years, that area became deserted, and the capital was occupied. The emperor and his entire family were drained of their life essence and died. It was an extremely tragic situation!
In the end, it was the Ji Yuan Empire that sent troops to suppress the demonic path. Even so, the empire suffered considerable losses, and that region remains desolate to this day!
Many of the people in the Meng family may be innocent, but the imperial court dares not make a mistake, for the Fire Maple Dynasty cannot afford the consequences!
This is also why Meng Fan told Chu Di that Meng Yuhai was a demonic cultivator, because anyone associated with demons should be killed rather than let go!
There are many reasons why a dynasty could be overthrown, but the demonic path is the most important!
Everyone was a master, and they quickly advanced to the center of the Meng residence. The retainers were either dead or had to retreat to the backyard to wait for their master.
"Meng Yuhai, aren't you going to come out and face your death? How long are you going to hide? Today, Grandpa Lin will make sure you have nowhere to go, no way to escape to heaven or hell!"
Lin Yangtian's loud voice boomed into the sky above the Meng residence, and his powerful true energy caused ripples to spread through the air!
Lin Yangtian frowned. He could feel the thick blood aura emanating from the corpses around him, which was gathering on the roof of a house in the Meng family mansion!
"Found you!"
After saying that, he threw a punch at the rooftop. The golden fist shadow shot out, but was blocked by a large hand composed of a layer of dense blood energy!
The golden fist shadow and the blood-red hand made a 'sizzling' sound in the air. The blood-red hand seemed to be dissolving the golden fist shadow. In the end, the two disappeared into thin air!
"Lin Yangtian, I didn't expect the imperial court to actually send you here. I really have a lot of influence!"
Meng Yuhai's sinister voice came from the rooftop.
Lin Yangtian's eyes were solemn. He had encountered people of the demonic path when he was young and knew how troublesome they were. Their techniques were extremely strange, and one could easily fall into their trap if one was not careful!
"Now that you know I've come here in person, why don't you surrender?"
"Hahaha... That's hilarious! Others may fear you, Lin Yangtian, but I have none! Your arrival is just in time; become a stepping stone on my path to becoming a Grandmaster!"
Meng Yuhai was no less than Lin Yangtian, and appeared even more manic under the moonlight!
After saying that, he became a red blur and rushed straight towards Lin Yangtian.
Lin Yangtian also erupted in anger, saying, "Fine, I'll see what's so great about you, a demonic cultivator!"
He activated his technique, his whole body radiating a fierce aura, the qi causing the clothes of those around him to flutter loudly.
The two exchanged blows with loud bangs, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of moves had passed. Lin Yangtian's attacks were all full of force and fierceness, and he was already showing signs of exhaustion!
With the surrounding blood energy replenishing him, Meng Yuhai seemed to have inexhaustible energy and had already gained the upper hand!
"Hahaha! Lin Yangtian, you're finished! All your blood and energy are now at my disposal, helping me reach the Grandmaster realm!"
"Oh? You want to kill my court's retainer? Did you ask me first?"
Just when everyone was in despair, the show-off's voice rang out!
Everyone looked over at the sound, and the figure under the moonlight was reflected on the young man's profile. The gorgeous brocade robe outlined the young man's well-proportioned figure, and he held a paper fan lightly in his right hand.
Everyone thought to themselves: What a handsome young man!
