Chapter 186

Even the expression that had originally been somewhat panicked and flustered.

Had at this moment returned to calm.

"Heh~~"

"You mean the Night Emperor?"

"Or the Great Ming's National Guardian?"

"Or perhaps the Night Emperor's Lady and the future?"

The Southern King's Heir sneered.

His eyes looked at him with great interest.

The corner of his mouth curled into a playful smirk.

At these words.

Zhu Houzhao's face, which had only just recovered its calm, changed drastically once more.

While his heart was shocked and horrified, there was also a thread of disbelief.

One had to know.

Although the Great Ming Dynasty was only ranked middle-upper among the Eight Great Dynasties.

Just its foundation alone was considerably better than the Great Sui, whose sun was already setting in the west.

If one then added the Night Emperor, the Night Emperor's Lady, and the future.

It would be even more exaggerated!

And yet such a terrifying and luxurious lineup.

Had actually shown not a single movement until now.

How could this not shock him?!

At this thought.

Zhu Houzhao forcefully suppressed the tremor in his heart and demanded in a cold voice.

"Who exactly are you people?!"

"At this point, does it still matter? What, you think you can still stall for time?"

The Southern King's Heir asked back with a light laugh.

Immediately after.

He didn't wait for an answer.

He waved his hand at Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian.

Signaling the two could make their move.

He himself, unhurriedly, paced his steps toward the golden Long Yi.

"Your Majesty, forgive the offense."

Cao Zhengchun let out a sinister chuckle.

He rubbed his hands together and slowly walked over.

The killing intent on his face was not concealed in the slightest.

"You dog of a thing, you dare lay hands on me?!"

"Aren't you afraid that when Royal Uncle and the others return, they'll make you pay dearly for it?!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was dark as water.

That fierce-on-the-outside-but-timid-within appearance.

Looked like, where was even half a trace of a Ming Emperor's bearing?

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Your Majesty."

"Even if their numbers doubled, they absolutely will not be coming back!"

Cao Zhengchun curled his lip, his face certain.

Hearing this.

Zhu Houzhao's heart sank slightly.

Then, a flash of cold intent passed through his eyes, and he suddenly raised his palm and roared.

"Traitorous wretch! Die for me!!"

After the roar.

An astonishing aura erupted from his entire body.

His right palm struck out.

Causing bursts of sonic booms to ring out in the void.

Looking at his appearance.

He actually possessed the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster at its peak!!

"You actually hid your strength?!"

Not expecting him to attack at the slightest provocation.

Cao Zhengchun hastily raised his hand to forcibly receive this palm.

His entire person retreated several steps with a scraping sound.

His expression looked at him with slight surprise.

106-An emperor should die an emperor's death; how could he be subjected to blade and sword! (Seeking subscriptions)

The words had just been spoken.

Cao Zhengchun then reacted.

No matter how you put it.

Zhu Houzhao was, after all, the Emperor of Ming.

Even though he was young, and swamped with state affairs, leaving him little time for cultivation.

But no matter how you looked at it, he was still the lord of an imperial dynasty.

Backed by the dynasty's deep foundation and resources.

It was only natural for him to have such a cultivation.

"You people are from the Qinglong Society?!"

No one answered him.

A flash of dark, hawkish menace crossed Zhu Houzhao's face.

Though it was phrased as a question.

His tone was utterly certain.

The incident had happened too suddenly.

He truly hadn't thought of it at the very first moment.

But in the instant they crossed hands.

He understood.

To be able to dispatch so many top experts to tie down the Night Emperor and the National Guardian Offerings and the rest.

The sheer might of their power was plain to see.

Looking across the entire Nine Provinces continent.

Only four powers could pull this off — the Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang dynasties, and the Qinglong Society!

As for why he had bitten down so firmly that they were the Qinglong Society.

There were two reasons.

First, if the Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang dynasties had harbored such an intention, they would have acted long ago — there was no need to wait until now.

The reason they had never made a move.

Was that each wanted to keep the whole cake for itself.

If this time it truly was one of the three great dynasties that had struck.

Then the other two would absolutely not stand idly by!

The situation before them would not be what it was now.

Second, compared to the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, the Immortal Spring Valley drew far more attention.

From this, one could well imagine.
