Chapter 764: The Emperor has arrived

~8 min read 1,468 words

"Thank you, housekeeper." The guests nodded.

Don't look at this old woman as just a housekeeper, but the people present didn't dare to neglect her.

After all, this is the Thorn Emperor's housekeeper, and also the person she trusts by her side.

Everyone heard that the Thorn Emperor would be here soon, and a hint of expectation arose in their hearts. Even when chatting with others, their peripheral vision kept paying attention to the direction of the courtyard gate.

Xu Tian walked past the many guests nonchalantly, seemingly visiting this magnificent manor, but actually taking the opportunity to secretly record the orientation of each side door of the manor, so that if he really had to take action with Thorn's people, he could take Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu away at the fastest speed.

He didn't even need to wait until taking action with Thorn's people. Anyway, the fact that he injured Zheng family members in public on Thorn's territory had definitely spread, and the Zheng family and the Thorn Emperor had a close relationship, which was equivalent to their Canglang Hall expressing their position that they would absolutely not submit to the Thorn Emperor's arrangements, and it didn't matter if they fell out with her.

Once the Emperor arrived, he could just throw a few barbs at her and find an excuse to leave.

Xu Tian originally didn't intend to attend the meeting. The reason he came was just because he promised the Wuji Martial Arts Association to deal with Thorn and needed to express his position.

Just as Xu Tian was formulating the fastest escape route in his mind, a man in black walked over from not far away. He didn't pay attention and bumped into the other party directly.

"Are you blind?" The man in black cursed angrily.

However, before Xu Tian could speak, the paralyzed man behind him kicked the man in black away first.

The man in black, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was kicked dozens of meters away like this, slamming heavily onto the lawn opposite, alarming the big shots who were chatting and greeting each other over there.

"Wolf King, you really have a lot of guts?"

"Unreasonable, on Thorn's territory, how can you be arrogant and presumptuous?"

The heads of various forces who were disturbed by the man in black falling to the ground cast hostile eyes at Xu Tian one after another.

"Heh, this is Thorn's territory, I think you really don't want to live!"

Xu Tian held his forehead. He didn't let the paralyzed man hit anyone either.

But these bounty hunters were brought by him, and every move basically represented his meaning, so he couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.

"Brother Yi, serious injury is one thousand. We are so familiar, I'll give you a 20 percent discount, you can give me eight hundred." The tall, thin man didn't realize at all that Xu Tian's face had already darkened, and he thought he was considerate to give him a discount.

"Give it, wait until we go back." Xu Tian gritted his teeth and replied word by word.

Of course, the premise was that they could go back.

It was fine to take action against the Zheng family before, but now the paralyzed man hit a Thorn member, this grudge was definitely settled.

"The Wolf King really doesn't want to live. He not only dares to hit the Zheng family's people but even dares to hit the Emperor's subordinates."

"I'm seeing someone courting death so actively for the first time. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, just watch the show."

"I'm looking forward to how the Emperor will deal with the Wolf King after she arrives. Kill him directly, or lock him up and torture him for a few days before killing him?"

Facing the cold sarcasm of others, Xu Tian had long been numb.

If the Emperor really wanted to start a war, he could only go all out to break through. Although he didn't have the capital to compete with the other party at all, he couldn't admit defeat in front of a woman.

The paralyzed man who had just taken action seemed to see Xu Tian's displeasure. He walked over and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Yi, Miss Yun asked us to protect you at all costs, so even if you don't speak, we will eliminate all hidden dangers for you. As long as anyone offends you, we will teach them a lesson, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Tian:...

You people probably don't know what I'm worried about at all.

He knew his own level. Zhong Yu and Zhong Ling, the two little girls, had good skills, and plus the Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group, the strength looked indeed not bad, but this was Thorn's territory after all. No matter how powerful the two of them were, it was impossible to deal with hundreds or thousands of Thorn elites at the same time.

"Brother Yi, the level of these people is not very good, not even as good as your Canglang Hall. They are arrogant and ignorant to be disrespectful to you, Brother Yi. I think it is necessary to teach them a good lesson. Why not kill them all and let them see the dangers of the world!"

The tall, thin youth looked at the heads and high-level members of the various gangs in front of him as if he were looking at walking Huaxia coins.

"One by one, fifteen twenty... Forget it, there are too many people, I can't count them. Why not calculate the group price for you? What do you think of 300,000?"

"Presumptuous!" Those gang heads who were named couldn't allow the tall, thin youth to insult them like this, glaring at Xu Tian one after another, and couldn't help but take action against him.

And just then, a line of guards wearing black robes walked in from outside the manor.

In the lead was a woman wearing a black veil hat, a black suit skirt, and a tall and slender figure.

The woman's aura was extremely strong, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in ice and snow that hadn't melted for thousands of years, emitting extremely strong coldness.

The crisp high heels tapped on the eardrums of everyone present in an orderly manner, and the whole scene was instantly silent. The heads of various gangs immediately stopped talking, not even daring to breathe.

The Thorn Emperor was low-key and had never appeared in public. Even the heads of the various gangs present had almost never seen her true face.

After the Emperor appeared, those gang heads who intended to settle accounts with Xu Tian all stopped, not daring to act presumptuously anymore. In everyone's eyes, one could see the fear and dread of the Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, the woman had walked to the center of the courtyard. She stopped, looked up at the crowd, and her cold eyes still didn't carry a trace of emotion.

Zheng Jing, the prospective successor of the Zheng family, stared fixedly at the woman in the black dress standing in the center, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

This woman is the Thorn Emperor. Five years ago, he had seen her. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and time seemed not to have left any traces on her face. That exquisite face, like a darling of the Creator, was still breathtakingly beautiful.

"Emperor, please!"

Escorted by Thorn guards, the woman turned and sat in the main seat of the venue.

After she sat down, everyone present felt a sense of relief.

This woman is the Thorn Emperor, the supreme king of the dark world.

"We pay our respects to the Emperor!"

The gang heads present hurriedly bowed and saluted the woman sitting in the main seat.

The woman nodded slightly, and her exquisite face, like an iceberg, didn't have any fluctuations.

"Brother Yi, look, the Emperor has arrived!" Zhong Yu tugged at Xu Tian's sleeve and whispered.

There were many people standing in front of Xu Tian, and from his direction, he couldn't see the Emperor's position at all, and he didn't want to attract the other party's attention.

There was a grudge between the Wolf King and the Emperor, and he didn't want to take the initiative to send himself to her as a target. ===== CHAPTER 765 =====

There were many people standing in front of Xu Tian; from his position, he couldn't see where the Emperor was at all, and he didn't want to attract her attention either.

There was bad blood between the Wolf King and the Emperor, and he didn't want to voluntarily offer himself up as a target.
