Chapter 20 Seeking Vengeance for an Eighty-Thousand-Year-Old Event, Inviting to a Banquet
“You’re asking for trouble.”
Xiao Yan stepped forward, his eyes calm yet cold, his mind racing with countless ways to kill the young man in fine clothes before him.
“Xiao Yan, you…”
Xiao Hongdou hadn’t expected her younger brother to stand up at this mont, her face imdiately filled with worry and tension.
In her eyes, Xiao Yan had just recovered from his illness and had never been exposed to cultivation since childhood.
How could he possibly be a match for Song Tian and his gang?
“Sister, don’t worry,” Xiao Yan said calmly.
Just then, a distant screeching sound echoed, shaking the long street.
Several terrifyingly powerful beasts, their scales gleaming, were charging towards them.
Boom!!
The next mont, the sky split open as a black flash, swift as thunder, pierced through the unprepared young man, Song Tian, with a swift “pfft.”
The man holding the spear flicked his wrist, causing Song Tian’s body to explode into a mist of blood.
“Young master…”
Song Tian’s servants were left dumbfounded by the sudden violent scene before them.
Nearby cultivators, who had been expecting to watch a good show, were equally shocked, frozen in place with unprecedented astonishnt.
Nanque Sacred City had a ban on fighting, with powerful cultivators patrolling everywhere.
“That’s… the third young master of the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhao Hao… Young Master Zhao…”
Soone recognized a figure riding one of the beasts, further shocking the crowd.
Xiao Hongdou’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend what was happening.
“What the fuck”
The spear-wielding man on the beast was a cold-faced black-clad man, his eyes devoid of emotion.
Anyone who saw him would turn pale and tremble, as if faced with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This black-clad man had killed countless beings, resulting in an aura of overwhelming terror.
“Hmm?”
Xiao Yan, who had been about to act, frowned slightly but quickly regained his composure, observing the newcors.
“You… you are Lord Zhao Hao…”
Finally overcoming her fear, Xiao Hongdou recognized the glowing, handso man on another beast.
Though she lacked much experience, she knew this was Zhao Hao, the third young master of Nanque Sacred City’s City Lord, a figure of imnse prestige.
Despite growing up in Nanque Sacred City, she had only seen him from afar once.
Why would soone like Zhao Hao co here personally, and why did he seem embarrassed and awkward?
Especially in front of the black-clad man, he even seed humble and fearful, which she found incredible.
“Brother Chu…”
Zhao Hao forced a smile, glancing at the spear-wielding black-clad man, nervously swallowing.
Despite being a powerful young Tianjiao in Nanque Sacred City, unmatched among his peers,
he felt an icy chill just now, unable to muster any resistance.
Too terrifying.
No wonder he was one of Jiang Minghan’s followers. His strength was bone-chillingly terrifying, likely capable of killing Zhao Hao as easily as squashing a chick.
“How dare he touch soone the Master is looking for from Qingxu Holy Land?”
The black-clad man nad Chu rely glanced at Song Tian’s remains, as if looking at an ant, showing no concern.
He remained indifferent even to Zhao Hao.
“Y-yes, yes, I understand. This guy is definitely death.”
Zhao Hao quickly agreed, indifferent to Song Tian’s fate.
“Lord Zhao Hao…”
“And this… benefactor is?”
Xiao Hongdou hadn’t fully processed everything, unsure of the black-clad man’s identity or the master he ntioned.
But seeing Song Tian, who had harassed her, dead, she was deeply grateful.
Zhao Hao quickly smiled and explained, “Miss Hongdou, please just call Zhao Hao. This is Chu Xuan, a follower of Jiang Minghan, the young master of the Jiang family.”
He knew Chu Xuan ca from an ancient Daoist sect and was a terrifying young supre, showing imnse respect for Jiang Minghan.
“Jiang Minghan, Young Master Jiang…”
Hearing the na, Xiao Hongdou paused, finding it familiar as if she had heard it before.
Then she realized, her eyes widening in disbelief.
She stamred, unable to speak properly, “C-could it be the legendary… young master of the hidden immortal clan…”
Xiao Hongdou recalled the ancient warship from the hidden immortal clan that had arrived in Nanque Sacred City yesterday.
Realizing this, she beca extrely excited, her dust-covered face turning red.
To soone like her, the young master of the hidden immortal clan was a mythical figure.
She usually only heard rumors about his brilliance, making his peers bow their heads in awe.
He was soone she could never hope to et.
“The young master of the hidden immortal clan…”
Even Xiao Yan’s calm expression changed slightly, though he quickly regained composure.
He felt puzzled.
Why would the young master of the hidden immortal clan, soone so high above, help soone as insignificant as Xiao Hongdou, and even ntion looking for people from Qingxu Holy Land?
After her excitent, Xiao Hongdou also felt puzzled.
Why would such a figure suddenly seek her out?
“Miss Hongdou, here’s the situation. Do you rember eighty thousand years ago, when a senior from Qingxu Holy Land quelled a dark turmoil? An ancestor of the Jiang family feels guilty about it…”
Seeing Xiao Hongdou’s confusion, Zhao Hao explained politely, without his usual airs as Nanque Sacred City’s young master, “Young Master Jiang ca to Nanque Sacred City because of that matter. You’re incredibly fortunate.”
He couldn’t help but feel envious too.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou was stunned, unable to believe it, her head spinning.
It was because of sothing from eighty thousand years ago?
She only knew about it from her master’s occasional clear monts, when he angrily cursed those who had taken Qingxu Holy Land’s resources, ungrateful for the past kindness.
“Haha, actually, I’m here to invite Miss Hongdou to a banquet tonight at the City Lord’s Mansion. All influential figures from around will be there.”
“Rest assured, with Young Master Jiang on your side, all the grievances you’ve suffered will be addressed.”
“This news will soon spread throughout Nanque Sacred City.”
Seeing Xiao Hongdou still in a daze, Zhao Hao smiled and added.
Around them, cultivators who had gathered due to the earlier commotion were equally stunned, then exploded in excitent.
