At first, Liu Jie’s words did not trigger any reaction. But when everyone present read in between the lines of Liu Jie’s words, they realized who this standard Spirit Guards’ mask-wearing man that had just called the Midnight Palace his house was.
He could only be Night Leaning Moon’s disciple.
No one else would dare to pretend to be Chief Guard Ye’s disciple right in the Midnight Palace.
Li Xuan and Long Tao had already made a guess, but they still looked shocked and could hot help but steal glances at Liu Jie.
Gao Feng had been about to seek out his father to ask Chief Guard Ye for forgiveness on behalf of Lin Yuan, but his jaw fell open now.
He did not expect the main character of the Guard Ye Banquet to be standing right next to him, yet he had been none the wiser.
Gao Feng also looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief. Not only had Lin Yuan traveled with the disciple of Chief Guard Ye’s disciple, but Chief Guard Ye’s disciple had even stood up for Lin Yuan.
Just who was Lin Yuan?
In spite of Gao Feng’s bewildered state of mind, he realized that Lin Yuan was completely different from who he initially thought he was.
The people that were gawking at Liu Jie were looking at him differently now that they knew who he was.
None of the disciples of the veteran or top factions expected that soone they initially thought was too brave for his own good was actually a dragon in disguise.
Most of the people’s attention was focused on Liu Jie as they tried to co up with a way to strike up a connection with him.
There were also so people that were still gawking in spite of their shock.
However, they were now gawking at Miao Zhuo, Du Shuo, and Fang He.
The injury that Chief Guard Ye’s disciple had inflicted on Miao Zhuo could not even be brought up at this point.
Chief Guard Ye’s disciple had called Miao Zhuo a nasty guest, and everyone was thinking about what this term would entail.
Usually, nasty guests were chased out.
If Miao Zhuo was kicked out of the Guard Ye Banquet, it might affect the Miao family’s main representative, Master Miao Qi.
Du Shuo and Fang He, who had spoken up for Miao Zhuo, were as pale as ghosts now that they knew who Liu Jie was, and they took large steps to put distance between themselves and Miao Zhuo.
The relationship between Furnace Stone tal and Four Beasts Territory was very similar to the one between Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
Furnace Stone tal had been supporting Four Beasts Territory just like what Coiling Dragon’s Valley had been doing for Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
Du Shuo and Fang He also shared a similar relationship to that of Long Tao and Li Xuan. In fact, Du Shuo and Fang He were much closer because Fang He had grown up in Furnace Stone tal.
Ever since they were children, Fang He had been playing with Du Shuo.
Du Shuo contracted feys that excelled at attacking while Fang He followed behind him to heal him when needed.
The two of them were even closer than real brothers.
Furnace Stone tal had discovered a secret when they ventured into a subterranean dinsional rift and needed a large amount of Creation Master resources. Hence, they had approached Connected Beast Park with the intention of working together.
However, the transaction was so large that both parties had yet to co to an agreent.
During this ti, when all the top factions were gathered in the Royal Capital, Du Shuo and Fang He had secretly t up with Miao Zhuo.
Miao Zhuo could not be described as their friend, but they had helped him so that Connected Beast Park would be more compromising during their business negotiations.
A bitter smile spread across Du Shuo’s face. He had been the one to warn Liu Jie about having to pay the price, but now he was the one who would have to pay it. Not even karma worked this fast.
Now that they had been dragged into the ss, Du Shuo and Fang He’s eyes were full of resentnt for Miao Zhuo.
They felt that Miao Zhuo was a small fry, yet he had well and truly affronted Chief Guard Ye’s disciple.
When he thought of his strict seniors back ho, Du Shuo instinctively placed his hand on his backside.
He prayed that the two globes of flesh would not be beaten too badly by his father so that he would not have to trouble Fang He to heal him.
A fierce pressure swept across the area outside the Midnight Palace, and that felt like a floating fla in the frigid night.
With his soul injury, Miao Zhuo could not hold himself steady against the pressure even with Zheng Kaiyuan supporting him and collapsed on the ground.
The pressure stopped short in front of Liu Jie and Lin Yuan.
A man with average features walked out to the area outside the Midnight Palace, his face ashen.
Du Shuo cursed under his breath.
The Spirit Guards’ right-hand manager had a much better temperant than the left-hand manager. The left-hand manager had always been in charge of managing the Spirit Guards’ Sin Cleansing Pool and could be called the Demon King of the Spirit Guards.
If the left-hand manager ca to settle the commotion, it would spell trouble for Du Shuo and the rest.
There was even a chance of his seniors inside the palace being affected.
The left-hand manager was rciless. It would be fine if only he was tossed out of the Midnight Palace, but it would be utterly humiliating if his seniors were chased out alongside him.
Although Du Shuo was the only son, he had a feeling that his father would beat him to death then have another son to take Du Shuo’s place if they were tossed out of the Midnight Palace because of Du Shuo.
Miao Zhuo thought that he had fainted and died after being struck by the pressure.
However, the pressure had tightly grabbed hold of his soul and kept his consciousness awake under excruciating pain.
As a Creation Master, Miao Zhuo was imdiately in despair. He knew that the left-hand manager had used law world power to quake his soul.
If it were his previous soul injury, he would be fine if his aunt imdiately used spiritual ingredients to heal him.
But now that the law world power had shaken up his soul, his injured soul was chipped away.
This was irreversible damage.
Ashes appeared before Miao Zhuo’s eyes, and he knew that he would never be able to beco a Class 4 Creation Master.
The irreversible damage to his soul ant that he would never be able to use the power of his soul to concoct spirit fluids.
The pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master Miao Zhuo knew that his life was finished.
The left-hand manager walked up to Liu Jie and bowed to him.
The crowd found the left-hand manager’s show of respect to be odd because he was not standing directly in front of Liu Jie but rather between Liu Jie and Lin Yuan.
It was confusing whether he was bowing to Liu Jie or Lin Yuan.
