Chapter 175: Bald Boss

Imperial Ancestor said, "You disturbed the Great Zhou Dynasty's dragon vein, causing the order upon the earth to churn; added to my great battle with those two, it ripped open time and space, releasing those three."

He also said, "These are merely my guesses, but I already sense that the moment of bloody storm on Tian'an Continent is approaching."

Everyone knows the Imperial Ancestor is not speaking alarmist nonsense.

This Imperial Ancestor loved martial arts, not the throne; after serving as emperor for a few years, he abdicated to his younger brother, thereafter devoting himself entirely to martial arts study, staying an untold number of years in the Imperial Palace's Scripture Pavilion. He finally broke through the Transcendent Dao, reaching the realm of Sevenfold Heaven, becoming on the surface the guardian deity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

To him, whether the Great Zhou Dynasty exists or not is irrelevant; he only cares whether he can live longer, or achieve immortality.

What is immortality? It means living forever, without aging, without sickness or disaster.

But all that has happened today also shattered his hundred years of peaceful life.

"Three months—give us three months; after three months they will trample Bei Du, trample Tian'an Continent—just three people against millions, even tens of millions of people—isn't that too arrogant? Isn't there really no one in the martial world who can deal with him?" Hu Bao asked indignantly.

"Not necessarily." The speaker was actually Chen Yi He; he had never been this tense before, his face turning especially grim when he said, "I just used all my strength in that sword strike, yet it turned out utterly feeble. That day on the Dong Hai shore, even Dongfang Wuji's demon orb would not fear that sword technique, yet it was blocked by that person called Tianming."

"Yi He makes sense; I don't know if anyone noticed, but the aura emitted by those three people differs from ours—it is as faint as breath, yet when it erupts it instantly becomes tens of thousands of times stronger!" Yan Shan Hai also said, then he asked the Imperial Ancestor, "What exactly do you mean by the Great Zhou Dynasty's dragon vein? We are targeting the West Depot, just Zhang Huayu alone!"

"I'm just guessing as well, let's leave it at that." The Imperial Ancestor walked on, and after a few steps, he flew up into the sky.

Not only Chen Yi He, everyone felt envious; who wouldn't want to fly in the sky?

"What should we do next, Chief Alliance Leader?" Duan Sheng asked Chen Yi He.

Only then did everyone realize the battle had ended, but a ridiculous and terrifying event was about to begin, with only three months of time.

Their time is running short.

The time left for everyone on Tian'an Continent is also short.

"You ask me, but I can't do anything!" Chen Yi He was about to cry.

"Amitabha, good, good, the poor monk feels we should still study what this so-called 'Heaven's Way' is." Grand Master Le Bei pressed his palms together and spoke slowly.

Yan Shan Hai, however, said, "Master, now is not the time for us to study them; we need to find a way to hurry and aid our brothers—Zhang Huayu's return will surely help the Embroidered Uniform Guard fight back!"

"No delay, let's move out quickly; we can discuss plans on the road—we must not let our brothers die in vain." Chen Yi He agreed with Yan Shan Hai's idea; whether it's the Heaven's Way or not, he couldn't concern himself with that much!

"Giddy-up!"

Hu Bao's horse was slapped to death by Tianming's palm, so he could only follow Hongliang on a horse—hitching a ride. Otherwise walking back would take far too long.

……

The first stop for Tianming, Tian Zai, and Tian Ba was actually Clearwater City.

Arriving at Clearwater City was merely a matter of tapping their toes.

The common folk of Clearwater City had not yet emerged from the fear of holes appearing in the sky when they again saw three people descending from the heavens; some with weak bodies or feeble wills fainted outright.

"Clearwater City, shall we go have a look?" They landed outside the city walls of Clearwater City, and Tianming asked his two companions.

"Whatever." Tian Zai shrugged, took the lead, and also asked, "Is giving them three months too long?"

"Letting their minds suffer torment for a full three months—just thinking about it is exciting; moreover, three months is enough for them to prepare all their resistance strength. If we easily let them surrender, wouldn't that be pointless? What do you think, Tian Ba?"

"Indeed." Tian Ba nodded, holding his fist larger than a boulder.

Tianming kicked the gate, several times his height, to pieces, then swaggered straight in.

The city guards dared not make any move, even though their bows and arrows were ready.

"Report! City Lord! Three people of unknown origin have come to our Clearwater City!"

Xiao Feng, lying in bed, said, "Just not let them enter the city, right?"

"City Lord, we can't stop them! One kick shattered the city gate's main door!" the messenger guard shouted, lying on the ground, his helmet askew halfway—where is any semblance of a soldier's bearing?

The city gate had always been impervious to blades and spears, so hard only a battering ram could break it; yet a mysterious person kicked it to pieces with one foot.

"Soldiers inside the castle stand ready; soldiers outside, seize the bandits! Hurry!"

Xiao Feng knew the newcomers were no ordinary folk, but regrettably he lay in bed, unable to rise; each time he thought of this, a surge of bitter pain welled up in his heart—damn Chen Yi He! "I'll have your corpse ripped into ten thousand pieces!"

Xiao Feng never imagined that, in addition, an hour later the Emperor himself would also visit his Clearwater City.

Clearwater City had been peaceful this past year; the last uprising was still the great battle between Chen Yi He and the Evil People Gang.

Times have changed; Chen Yi He is no longer the former Chen Yi He, but the Evil People Gang has never changed, still running rampant in Clearwater City.

Bald Boss's head remained shiny and bald; the history of being brutally beaten by Chen Yi He a year ago had long been turned over—now he strolled leisurely down Clearwater City's main street, followed by over twenty newly inducted lackeys, well-fed and ready to head to the newly opened brothel by the city gate.

The common folk all hid in their homes, doors and windows shut tight; this strange heavenly phenomenon made them only want to find a dark place to hide.

"How are you? Have the brothers eaten well? Ah, pah!" Bald Boss asked his subordinates while spitting a mouthful of phlegm, then continued, "If you follow me, you'll feast on the best; even the Emperor can't control it! Once I become gang leader, you'll all be deputy gang leaders!"

"Thanks, boss!" the lackeys replied weakly, flattering.

They all wondered how Bald Boss could be so unafraid of death—now even the heavens are about to collapse, who wouldn't hide? To stride openly down the street like this truly shows he fears no death.
