"Zhou Xuan! You've gone too far!"
Unable to contain his anger any longer, a hothead stepped forward and loudly rebuked:
"We are all citizens of Zhongzhou, how dare you..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the hothead was slapped hard across the face, his head hitting the ground and instantly losing consciousness, with a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Xuan's figure had appeared where the naive young man had been at some point. His expression was indifferent, as if his actions just now were merely casually swatting a fly.
He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped his hands, as if he had touched something dirty, while coldly saying:
"It is precisely because you are a citizen of Zhongzhou that I spared your life."
The energy gathering around the awakened crowd churned and surged, but they dared not speak out against it.
Under Zhou Xuan's intimidation, no one dared to make a move, and the area around the viewing platform was deathly silent.
Only a few people noticed that the distant swamp, like a living thing awakening, was greedily devouring and digesting the corpses and blood from before, with eerie red ripples spreading across its surface.
Sitting in the very center of the observation deck, Li Yu could clearly feel the clash of auras around him, the energy fluctuations of countless people secretly vying for power, and some hostility towards his seat in the main position.
But Li Yu ignored this, and instead suddenly pointed at Zhou Xuan, asking Xue Yue beside him:
Which Zhou family is he referring to?
Seeing that Li Yu rarely spoke to her, Blood Moon's eyes immediately turned into crescent shapes, and with a look of joy, she replied in a gentle, enchanting voice that could melt water:
"Who else could it be but the Zhou family of General Zhou Zhenbei of Zhongzhou?"
Upon hearing the name 'General Zhou Zhenbei,' Li Yu's face instantly darkened, as if a storm was brewing, but he still confirmed with Blood Moon again:
“I remember General Zhou Zhenbei’s son from Zhongzhou didn’t look like this.”
Li Yu vaguely remembered the appearance of the young man in the crystal coffin.
Blood Moon squinted her crescent-shaped eyes and patiently explained:
"He is not the son of a general, but Zhou Xuan, Zhou Zhenbei's favorite student."
At this point, she deliberately closed the distance between herself and Li Yu, and whispered a secret in his ear:
"Moreover, as far as I know, Zhou Xuan's surname wasn't originally Zhou; he changed it specifically to join the Zhou family."
"Zhou Zhenbei!" Li Yu's restrained killing intent surged like a raging storm.
This intense killing intent caused Blood Moon, who was closest to Li Yu, to open her mouth slightly, her pretty face turning pale, and she felt a strange fear rising in her heart.
It's important to know that although Blood Moon enjoys being the center of attention, she is not just a pretty face.
She relied on her own strength and a blood-red fan to defeat countless powerful opponents step by step, eventually reaching the 29th position on the popularity ranking.
But just a moment ago, Blood Moon felt from the depths of her heart that she was no match for Li Yu.
"I'll lose to Li Yu?"
Blood Moon looked on in astonishment; this feeling was utterly absurd.
Not only does she possess top-tier supernatural abilities, but the hidden weapon within her blood fan is also coated with Netherworld Poison.
Blood Moon is very confident that as long as she makes a move, her enemies will die upon seeing blood.
Anyone who is affected will either fall into a coma and lose their powers, becoming a cripple, or die on the spot and turn into bones.
Those who fought her earlier, if not necessarily killed, were at least seriously injured.
It's unbelievable that she would feel fear towards Li Yu.
However, this feeling only made Blood Moon value her relationship with Li Yu even more.
Blood Moon trusted her intuition as a beautiful woman.
Li Yu stared intently at Zhou Xuan, his fist slightly clenched, the energy within his body surging like a volcano about to erupt.
Just a moment ago, he almost couldn't help but shoot Zhou Xuan with an arrow to vent his anger.
But Li Yu immediately calmed down. This Zhou Xuan was just someone who had changed his surname, and he wasn't even a real member of the Zhou family. There was no need to alert him now.
Sitting next to Li Yu, Xiao Zhan also clearly felt the killing intent that Li Yu was emanating from Zhou Xuan.
His gaze swept back and forth between Li Yu and Zhou Xuan like an eagle's, and the hand holding the spear finally relaxed a little.
Xiao Zhan was secretly amazed. The killing intent of the person beside him was even stronger than his own, and he was afraid that the other party had a deeper grudge against the Zhou family than he had.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as they are enemies of the Zhou family, Xiao Zhan will provide them with unconditional support.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan suddenly found Li Yu sitting beside him to be particularly pleasing to the eye, as if he had found a like-minded ally in Zhongzhou.
Just as Li Yu forcibly suppressed the surging killing intent around him...
"Boom!"
A violent tremor suddenly came from the depths of the swamp, and the viewing platform trembled and shook violently under the force.
As a result of the strong tremor, the pink mist that had been permeating the swamp began to gradually spread out.
Large amounts of pink mist, like ocean waves, drifted high toward the observation deck.
The awakened ones watching from the cordon all paled; they had stayed so far away precisely because the powder mist was too toxic.
Seeing the pink mist drifting in from afar, everyone hurriedly retreated.
"It's an anomaly in the dragon veins!"
With a gentle wave of her hand, Bai Zhiyu unleashed a burst of pure energy, protecting the representatives of several families closely associated with the Human World Pavilion from the fog's erosion.
