Chapter 169

The way he looked, it seemed he had gradually grown accustomed to such days.

"Master, Lord Chuan Ying and others request an audience."

Just then.

Miss Baoqin hurried over.

"Take them to the grand hall."

Ximen Wudi gave a faint order.

As he spoke.

He hadn't even lifted his eyelids.

Clearly, he intended to wait until he had finished enjoying this piece and dance.

"Yes."

Miss Baoqin softly replied.

She turned and left.

Time slipped away swiftly.

Soon.

A cup of tea's time passed.

With the tea nearly drained, Ximen Wudi still had not appeared.

Han Gongdu and the others immediately grew restless.

Had it not been for the fact that this was the Qinglong Society's headquarters.

They would have already voiced complaints.

Only Lord Chuan Ying and Li Dazui.

Showed not the slightest change in expression.

Eyes half-closed.

Sat calmly in their chairs.

In an instant.

Both their faces suddenly changed.

For from within the grand hall, Ximen Wudi's voice suddenly sounded.

"So, did you bring everything?"

They snapped open their eyes.

Staring at Ximen Wudi, who had appeared atop the main seat without warning.

Lord Chuan Ying and Li Dazui's pupils shrank sharply.

Their faces became solemn beyond measure.

When... when did he appear?!

They exchanged glances.

Both saw shock, horror, disbelief in each other's eyes!

Within their hearts, a colossal storm surged.

Clearly, they had been terrified by Ximen Wudi's silent, unseen maneuver!

Before this.

Even though they dared not claim themselves the strongest under heaven.

They still believed.

With their own strength.

Even the strongest under heaven might not be beyond their ability to contend with!

At most, they'd lose after a few moves!

But now.

This cruel reality had slapped them hard across the face!

Had their temperaments not been honed well over the years.

They might already have been crushed into self-imposed silence by his sudden move!

"So you're the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Chief?!"

At this moment.

Han Gongdu, finally reacting, suddenly spoke.

In his words.

There was not the slightest respect.

Indeed, a hint of contempt lingered.

As if meeting him were less impressive than hearing of him.

"Zhengshixi Sect."

Ximen Wudi gave a slight nod.

His tone was utterly plain.

His face showed not the faintest ripple.

"If you are the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Chief, why did you deceive us in the Song Dynasty?!"

Han Gongdu added.

But his tone had grown distinctly hostile.

"When did I ever say I wasn't the Grand Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society?"

"Deceive you? Don't you think far too highly of yourself?!"

Ximen Wudi was first taken aback.

Then, in an instant, he was amused.

I don't even know what mangy cur you are.

Deceive you?

Is there any need?

The words had only just fallen.

Before he could say more, he raised his eyes, flashing like twin bolts of lightning, and looked at him.

His face somewhat indifferent, he said coldly.

"What? Are you questioning me?"

As his voice rang out.

In an instant.

The temperature of the hall plummeted.

Even the atmosphere grew taut, as if swords were drawn at the slightest provocation!

It seemed the slightest disagreement would lead to a violent clash.

Feeling that invisible, terrifying pressure.

Han Gongdu only felt his whole body grow heavy.

The blood throughout his body faintly began to congeal.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Cold sweat instantly beaded across his forehead.

His heart was filled with boundless shock!

He clearly hadn't expected Ximen Wudi to fly into a rage at the slightest provocation!

Even less had he expected.

That the other's strength would be so exaggerated!!

Merely being locked onto by his Qi.

Was enough to make his hair stand on end, as if facing a mortal enemy!

Truly, truly terrifying beyond words!!!.
