Afterward, he reached into his bosom and pulled out the Dragon Key, and the two gently touched. A "ding" sound rang out, the crystal vanished from sight, and the radiance on the Dragon Key was thoroughly ignited. Dark red patterns spread across his entire body, forming a unified whole, radiating a tangible and pure Dragon Power.
Shang ngting’s gaze fell upon the Dragon Key in Su Heng’s hand; her expression remained calm, but inside, she was hit by a storm of shock.
She had previously seen footage of Su Heng’s confrontation with King Dingxuan.
Although the image was very blurry,
Putting together the information collected through various channels and her understanding of Su Heng,
Shang ngting was almost certain that the person who had fought with King Dingxuan was the currently renowned top martial artist of Jiang E, Su Heng.
And because of Su Heng’s low-profile actions,
Following their encounter, both vanished, leaving the outco of the battle unknown. Stay tuned to
But now, Su Heng appeared alive and well before her, while King Dingxuan was still missing.
Could it be...
Thinking of that possibility, Shang ngting couldn’t help but shudder.
She recalled her past resolve to take her family and leave the Jiang E region, even at the cost of paying a huge price to enlist experts from Liuyun Mountain to support them.
Looking now at the various predicants the Shang Family was facing,
Shang ngting felt a sourness in her teeth and regret turning green in her guts.
The only relief amidst this series of events was that the relationship between the two had not completely deteriorated.
Otherwise,
Facing the current situation of the Shang Family, they truly would have been beyond redemption.
Seeing that Su Heng had returned the Dragon Key to his bosom, Shang ngting finally shifted her gaze away. With her head bowed and a respectful expression on her face, she asked in a ek voice, "About our cooperation, I wonder if the elder might be willing..."
"Rest assured," Su Heng replied calmly, "I will honor the promises I have made to you."
"Thank you, elder," Shang ngting felt as if a weight of ten thousand catties had been lifted from her shoulders and couldn’t help but take a deep breath of relief.
Boom!
At that mont, a noisy rush of footsteps ca from outside the door.
The two exchanged a glance, and Shang ngting said, "It must be the people from Dao Kan Mountain looking for trouble."
She knew their actions had been under constant surveillance and that there could be a mole inside the family. Therefore, Shang ngting was not surprised by the sudden arrival of Young Master Zhou and his group.
Especially with Su Heng here to suppress everything.
Although the Fallen Dragon’s Breath was precious, having such a mighty ally
Was indeed more than worth it.
"Cultivators from the mythical mountains, right? Let’s go and take a look," Su Heng nodded and agreed.
Shang ngting extended her hand in a gesture of invitation, leading the way with Su Heng behind. The two left the storeroom one after the other, coming into a spacious and bright hall. ṝ𝘼NòΒÊs̩
...
With Young Master Zhou in the lead, there were already quite a few people gathered in the hall.
Apart from the entourage brought from Dao Kan Mountain, a batch of Shang Family elders had been covertly bribed and swayed to their side.
Among these elders, the highest in status was a man nad Shang Qisheng. He was brawny, with a goatee on his chin. His face bore a long, narrow scar, giving off a sinister and dangerous impression from afar, difficult to approach.
Limited by the orders from King Qingyang, Young Master Zhou and the others were not free to act openly.
Therefore, Shang Qisheng, being an elder of the Shang Family as well, played a key role in the plan. His power was indeed strong, at the third step of Heavenly Deceit, ranking him among the top five in the family, even above Family Head Shang ngting.
Now, seeing Shang ngting standing high above, erging from a side room and looking down at him from the stairs,
Shang Qisheng knew his chance to perform had arrived.
"My lord..." He first whispered to Young Master Zhou for his opinion, who gave a slight nod.
Then without hesitation, Shang Qisheng took a step forward, the wooden floor beneath his foot bursting apart, and his body suddenly transforming into a blurred shadow.
Whoosh!
His fingers ca together to form a claw, reaching for Shang ngting’s delicate neck.
Shang ngting bore a plain expression, offering no resistance.
Shang Qisheng assud she lacked practical combat experience and was petrified by his ferocious montum. Feeling a trace of scorn in his heart, he increased his speed by another threefold.
Crack!
A burly figure bent over to co out of the door, appearing behind Shang ngting.
Shang Qisheng’s heart panicked, not yet knowing who the person was. On instinct, he looked up and found himself face-to-face with Su Heng’s pitch-black eyes, overseeing everything.
In just a single glance, he felt as if his body was a deflating balloon. His essence, energy, and spirit were all diminishing at an inconceivable rate, rapidly draining away.
In what felt like an eternity stretched into an instant, his knees weakened and he knelt straight down before Su Heng.
Su Heng extended a single finger, gently touching Shang Qisheng’s forehead.
His body, now devoid of all vitality, rolled lifelessly down the steps, bumping into Young Master Zhou’s lower leg.
The entire room fell into dead silence!
