Chapter 1026

To understand a person's strength, look at his enemies.

Even the Tianxing Society doesn't dare provoke those madmen of the Shoushen Sect!

Thinking of the Shoushen Sect's madmen who would drag others into self-explosions, Shu Shu Wenkang grew slightly calmer.

"Director Geng speaks wisely!"

"The reason we've been safe these past few days in Mount Dajiao is simply because we didn't stir up trouble and didn't draw Su Yang's attention!" Geng Yan said. "If possible, I absolutely refuse to face Su Yang—there isn't a single organization in the Huaxia Federation that dares challenge Su Yang!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Before Su Yang sealed his godhood in battle, he still leveled the Zhenbao Pavilion's outpost in Mount Dajiao—yet did you see how the Zhenbao Pavilion reacted?" Geng Yan whispered. "I heard they didn't blame Su Yang at all; instead, they apologized and accepted their misfortune. Our Tianxing Society branch isn't nearly as powerful as the Zhenbao Pavilion… let alone now!"

Geng Yan licked his dry lips: "Let me tell you, Su Yang's greatest strength isn't his power—it's his tracking ability. Once he locks onto you, he truly will eradicate entire organizations down to the last person."

"I understand!"

"When we approach Sovereign Jiazi this time, we must be utterly vigilant—no slightest mistake allowed!"

At one o'clock in the morning, southeast by southeast.

A deafening roar shattered the silent night; the residents of Shuize City, Shanyun City, and Heihu City all clearly heard that roar!

The roar brimmed with domineering energy and a chilling killing intent.

The roar was extremely distinctive, slightly shrill!

The sound echoed, and faintly within it could be heard the trembling hum of wind.

Nearly four hundred thousand civilians across the three cities were jolted awake from their dreams by that roar!

Everyone who heard the roar—commoners and beast-tamers alike—felt their hearts tremble.

A fear beyond words began to spread.

In the Heihu City Lord's mansion, on a white hospital bed, two middle-aged maids, also awakened by the roar, stood beside the large bed.

"We kill! Kill them all!"

As the maids sank into the fear brought by the roar, the withered old man beside them suddenly sat upright on the bed and roared loudly.

He was emaciated, nothing but skin stretched over bone, his entire body like a membrane pulled taut over a skeleton.

His slightly bulging eyes were utterly clouded.

Yet after he sat up, those clouded eyes gradually cleared.

"We kill!"

The old man roared again.

Seeing the old man on the bed suddenly sit up, the two maids forgot their fear.

They stared at him in delight, one of them exclaiming: "My lord, you're awake?"

The old man looked around the room, saw the two maids beside him, and finally understood.

He suddenly barked sharply: "Be silent!"

The two maids trembled, standing silently to the side, not daring to speak.

The old man paid no attention to the two middle-aged maids; he merely sat on the hospital bed, tilting his ear slightly to listen.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" one maid dared to ask. "The roar?"
