Chapter 1123: Chapter 80: Entering the Border Pass
"You’re still threatening ."
Luo Hai sat on the rattan chair, his gaze icy.
His deanor in front of the Marquis of Xining was completely different compared to when he faced Xie Xuanyi.
Reaching the level of the Ten Heroes, they were entirely distinct from re mortals.
Zhu Gong was one of the Seven Marquises, governing Xining City as a feudal lord... but in Luo Hai’s eyes, soone like Zhu Gong could be killed without consequence.
To the Crown Prince’s side, at most a re apology would suffice.
And the matter would be over.
"..."
Zhu Gong was drenched in cold sweat, prostrating on the ground, head lowered, not daring to utter a single word.
"After tonight, I don’t want to see Zhu Shuo again."
Luo Hai frowned and said, "The things he did to my disciple... truly disgusting. How did such a nauseating creature co out of the Xining Marquis Mansion?"
"Your... disciple?"
Uncle Yao and Zhu Gong were taken aback upon hearing this.
They imdiately understood the reason Luo Hai had appeared at the Marquis Mansion—
After comprehending the Rule of Destruction, Xie Yueying was taken under the wing of the newly promoted Ten Heroes, becoming a disciple of the One Strike Sect.
Thus it seed.
The secret needed to be kept.
The incident at Baoyue Building, Xining had no choice but to consider it as bad luck.
Yet...
Luo Hai’s demand exceeded the expectations of the two.
Was he demanding... Zhu Shuo’s death?
Uncle Yao reacted swiftly; he knew that the Marquis Mansion had no qualification to resist at this mont, so he quickly agreed, "Yes, my lord!"
Luo Hai nodded slightly, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"My lord!"
At this mont, Zhu Gong gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and pleaded sorrowfully, "I have only this one nephew, may I ask for your rcy to spare his life? I will certainly punish him heavily!"
Luo Hai paused.
He turned his head slightly, revealing only half of his face.
At this mont, Luo Hai’s gaze was exceedingly cold. He did not speak; just with a glance, he made Zhu Gong’s face turn pale and slump back...
In front of a strongman like Luo Hai, Xining City had no right to negotiate.
He wanted Zhu Shuo dead.
Zhu Shuo had to die.
...
...
The next day.
A rare clear sky appeared, and the people sward to the north of Xining City.
Xie Xuanyi changed his appearance with the All Living Beings technique, blending into the crowd, heading out of the city. Having "smuggled" into the Li Kingdom following a cargo ship, Xining City was just the first stop; his destination was Xuanbei Pass, where Chen Chong was stationed... After seeing through the Demon Country strategist’s plot, he planned to travel through Chong State, observe the changes in demon energy at the Northern Li Country, and confirm the true intent of their movents.
If he was not mistaken.
The Li Kingdom was about to face a massive demon wave.
If unprepared, this demon wave could easily take half of Chong State... Sixty years ago, in the Battle of Poison, the North County of Great Chu beca a chessboard, and as ti passed, now the Li Kingdom would beco the next main battlefield. For this dire situation, no one at the Li Kingdom’s court had realized, for the Crown Prince focused most of his thoughts on internal strife and power struggles. The Ninth Prince was only able to fend off attacks; even if he realized the predicant, he couldn’t change anything.
In such circumstances, an outsider was needed to "break the impasse".
This eastward journey of Xie Xuanyi aid at becoming that impasse-breaker.
"Have you heard?"
"Last night a big event happened at the Xining Marquis Mansion!"
Among the crowd, soone whispered.
"What big event?"
"The Marquis of Xining’s nephew... drunk himself to death..."
"Tch, heaven’s justice! That little bastard wielded power to snatch young won, and not long ago, even forced a family to hang themselves..."
This news spread wider and wider.
Xie Xuanyi didn’t need to use Divine Thought to hear it clearly.
His expression unchanged, he continued on his way.
Zhu Shuo was dead?
After parting with Luo Hai last night, Xie Xuanyi no longer involved himself in Xie Yueying’s matters... Even though he had t Luo Hai only once, he understood the style of the "Young Master of One Strike Sect
