Chapter 417

The mocking tone within instantly caused the expressions of the four people present to change!

Their faces darkened, and a fierce glint appeared in their eyes!

Originally, seeing that this child had been brought by Zhao Hu, they did not pay much attention.

But now, these words could no longer be explained away as a child's innocent babbling, and seemed more like courting death!

As for the claim that the Prefecture Lord was already dead, they did not believe it.

After all, as confidants secretly cultivated by the Prefecture Lord, they naturally understood what terrifying power the one they served possessed!

While still at the Moon Wheel realm, he had been able to suppress all Moon Wheel cultivators within Tiandou Prefecture, and no one dared to offend him in the slightest!

Now he had even reached Half-Step Sun Wheel.

Before long, he would be able to take that final step, achieve the Sun Wheel realm, and be ennobled as a marquis by the imperial court!

Such an invincible existence within the borders of Tiandou Prefecture, one whom absolutely no one could contend against—how could he simply die? Who could wound him in the slightest? Let alone kill him!

This matter was simply absurd to the extreme!

However, although they knew this matter to be false, they still felt extremely furious!

A Star Wheel cultivator must not be insulted; those who insult them must die!

A mere child, and he dares to bark wildly before us?

And even more senselessly clamoring about sending us on our way?!

Thinking of this, one of them immediately extended a finger, pointed at Xiao Bai, and rebuked:

"How audacious! To be so ignorant of what reverence means—have your elders never taught you....."

The moment the words began to sound, Zhao Hu instinctively felt something was wrong!

He then looked at this man with a gaze as if regarding an idiot.

Even I do not dare to offend this young master.

Yet you actually dare to point at his nose and curse him indirectly to his face—truly commendable courage.

On this point, I admit my own inferiority.

As Zhao Hu's thoughts flashed through his mind.

The Star Wheel cultivator, completely unaware of the impending danger, continued speaking.

"Since your elders have not taught you well, then I shall take it upon myself to discipline you........"

The moment the word "discipline" fell.

The next instant.

Whoosh—

A streak of brilliant light flashed past.

Immediately following, with a loud bang, this Star Wheel cultivator, without the slightest ability to resist, instantly exploded and perished, transforming into a ghastly mist of blood!

Confronted with this horrifying scene, the pupils of the remaining three Star Wheel cultivators sharply contracted, and their faces drastically changed!

Their original fury was also like having a large basin of cold water poured over it, instantly extinguished!

At this moment, their innermost beings trembled ceaselessly, and they desperately wished to flee.

Yet their entire bodies were stiff beyond compare, and their legs felt as if filled with lead, making it difficult to take a single step!

Not good, they're done for now!

The three Star Wheel cultivators exchanged glances, and strong regret, terror, and despair surfaced in all their eyes!

At this point, they also understood that they had misjudged the situation.

How could this child be some little white rabbit they could crush at will?

He was clearly a terrifying true dragon!

At the same time, even Zhao Hu, who had long anticipated the fate of the crowd.

After personally witnessing this scene.

Could not help but shudder all over, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

One move to annihilate a Star Wheel cultivator—a Sun Wheel powerhouse is truly terrifying beyond compare!

Then, under the collective gaze of everyone around.

Xiao Bai unhurriedly withdrew his right hand.

He cast a cold glance at the three people before him.

"I hate having people point their fingers at me......"

"And I hate even more people wanting to discipline me on his behalf......"

As the words fell.

A strong chill swept through the surroundings, seeping into everyone's hearts.

The scene was utterly silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Not only the three Star Wheel cultivators, but even Zhao Hu beside them felt extremely tense, not even daring to take a deep breath!

Only because this aura was truly too terrifying, far beyond the limits of their cognition and imagination!

Is this level of power really just Sun Wheel?

Or could it be that the other party is...... Myriad Manifestations?!

At the mere thought of this possibility, Zhao Hu's mind was even more violently shaken; he only felt his throat unusually dry, and could not help but swallow.

If the Sun Wheel realm could still be within the range of ordinary comprehension.

Then the Myriad Manifestations realm was an entirely different level!

In the eyes of countless cultivators, a Myriad Manifestations realm cultivator, hailed as a True Lord, could truly be said to be no different from an immortal or a deity!

Setting aside that extremely long, terrifying lifespan reaching over five thousand years!

Just considering that incomparably overwhelming power—merely condensing a Myriad Phenomena Dharma Aspect allows one to release force from a hundred thousand li away, a long-range strike capable of annihilating a city—such invincible strength!

Is enough to chill one to the bone!

At this moment, the three Star Wheel cultivators, like Zhao Hu, quickly realized this point.

Their lips parted slightly.

Their hearts were drowned in shock, nearly losing the ability to form words!

Until Little White's voice rang out: "Speak—what did Sima Nan leave behind here?"

When the words fell, the three men immersed in shock were slightly stunned, unable to react in time.

However, in that very moment of hesitation, another surge of power filled with terrifying aura swept in, once again slaying a Star Wheel cultivator!

Crimson blood splashed across the robes, hair, and faces of the remaining two Star Wheel cultivators.

Feeling the sticky, warm liquid on their skin, they couldn't help but shudder, a tingling sensation crawling over their scalps!

Immediately after, Little White's voice rang out once more:

"My patience is limited. You have ten breaths left. If no one speaks after ten breaths, then there's no need to keep you."

To avoid following in the footsteps of those two unlucky souls, the remaining two Star Wheel cultivators, in order to save their lives, could no longer be bothered to care about the grace Sima Nan had once shown them.

Thus, the two began speaking at the fastest speed of their lives, revealing everything here, along with the many secrets about Sima Nan, without holding anything back!

Listening to the two men's exposé.

Learning that the Prefect had secretly done so many things behind the scenes.

Zhao Hu inwardly marveled, nodding from time to time.

He looked utterly like a melon-eating bystander.

However, as the two continued to reveal more.

Soon, Zhao Hu could no longer laugh.

His expression froze, his face filled with astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief!

Because according to what the two revealed.

His most beloved wife had actually been a mole deliberately arranged by the Prefect through these four men to be "trained" and ultimately planted by his side!

And before the wedding, in order to train the relevant abilities, his wife had even had affairs with Sima Xuan, as well as these four men!

This... How could this be!!

Zhao Hu's eyes bulged wide, bloodshot and crimson, like a maddened beast!

His heart was desolate, and he could not help but let out a long howl toward the heavens.

Then his whole body lost strength, his legs bent slightly, and he dropped to his knees on the ground.

He pounded the ground with both hands, his face filled with unwillingness!

"Sima Nan! I, Zhao Hu, have given my all for your Sima family all these years, serving you faithfully for so long! And yet you deceive me like this!"
