Sovereign?! The word sounded like a thunderclap in the steward’s brain, for an instant, he couldn’t even tell where north or south was.
The ‘trespasser’ was none apart from Huwang Xiao. He moved into the primary hall looking at Wang Dingzhi, the temperature in Huwang Xiao’s eyes dropped a few degrees.
Ch.419
Huwang Xiao did not utter a word as he walked to the main seat and sat down.
One could even hear a needle drop in the heavy silence.
Huwang Xiao sat down silently and did nothing at all to indicate to Wang Dingzhi that he could stand, thus Wang Dingzhi continued to be in a kneeling posture without daring to go an in .. The menacing cool air from Huwang Xiao triggered the heat in the hall to plummet drastically.
However, Wang Dingzhi was sweating profusely, while that manor steward stood blankly at the medial side, as if the word ‘Sovereign’ that came out from Wang Dingzhi’s mouth worried his soul into oblivion.
Within seconds, sounds of rustling wind came from many different directions into the primary hall. Without doubt, these noises were the manor guards rushing over, prepared to encircle the trespasser.
Huwang Xiao breaking in to the Castellan Manor and injuring over a hundred manor guards had alerted the hidden experts within the manor grounds.
Hearing the sharp wind sounds arriving one after another, Wang Dingzhi grew more anxious, however, Huwang Xiao had yet to permit him to stand. He dared not stand on his own accord to order these manor guards to retreat.
Huwang Xiao silently sat in the hall. In that short moment, a group of manor guards had broken through the doors and rushed into the main hall.
The manor guards who broke into the primary hall in a rush were stupefied seeing their Castellan kneeling on the floor.
“Castellan, are you alright?” One of the manor guards came swiftly to Wang Dingzhi’s part, inquiring with concern. In his view, their Castellan was subdued by the black-haired son and was forced to kneel in humiliation.
The guards snapped back again to their senses, bellowing as they simultaneously attacked Huwang Xiao.
Reaching this point, Wang Dingzhi could no more remain kneeling and hollered out in anger: “Impudent! Damn the great deal of you, get the hell out of here this instant!” Jumping anxiously to his ft, he released a powerful wave of energy.
All of the manor guards were pressured back awkwardly by the powerful influx of energy from Wang Dingzhi.
The manor guard and steward closest to Wang Dingzhi were the most miserable, receiving the highest colliding impact, their bodies were sent flying out of the main hall. Both of these fainted before they strike the floor.
The manor guards struck by Wang Dingzhi struggled up from the ground. Confusion, apprehension, and bewilderment obviously showed on their faces, not knowing what they do wrong. It was beyond their understanding that the individual that attacked them would be their own Lord Castellan.
In the next moment, they witnessed Wang Dingzhi quickly getting down to his knees again before Huwang Xiao, “They are not aware of Sovereign’s identity and inadvertently offended Sovereign, please have mercy and free their lives!”
A sharp clap resounded in the minds of the manor guards, shock written all over their encounters as their pupils shifted towards the black-haired young man sitting down in the most conspicuous chair in the primary hall.
Sovereign?!
Their Asura’s Gate Sovereign?!
Huwang Xiao merely glanced at Wang Dingzhi from the corner of his eye, speaking in a low drawl, “I ran into something very interesting on the first day I arrived in Enigma City.”
Something very interesting? Wang Dingzhi’s center tightened nervously.
Huwang Xiao continued in the same decrease drawl, “Several Cosmos God Cult disciples were harassing a young woman in the Auspicious Scepter Restaurant. One of our Asura’s Gate disciples tried to avoid them, but was pounded until he was gravely wounded by those Cosmos God Cult disciples. In addition, our disciple was humiliated in public, he was told to lick the feet of these Cosmos God Cult disciples. When our Asura’s Gata Enforcement Squad appeared, not only did they not help their own sect sibling, but hid and viewed behind the scenes.”
Sweat was falling down Wang Dingzhi’s forehead like monsoon rain.
Huwang Xiao’s tone of voice echoed softly in the hall, “What made it even more interesting was, after those Cosmos God Cult disciples were taught a lesson by me personally, the Asura’s Gate Enforcement Squad disciples actually ran out like loyal dogs, taking purchases from the Cosmos God Cult disciples in an attempt to capture me and the other Asura’s Gate disciple, attempting to throw us into the dungeon!”
By this point, Wang Dingzhi had lost all colors from his face as though all of his blood were drained away. At this brief moment, he finally recognized the reason for Huwang Xiao’s anger, why the murderous aura via Huwang Xiao was so ferocious.
A sect’s Sovereign was nearly thrown into the dungeon by his own sect’s disciples!
Wang Dingzhi’s tongue was twisted into knots, being unsure of what to say.
“Wang Dingzhi!” Huwang Xiao instantly snapped.
A cold shiver ran down Wang Dingzhi’s body: “Sovereign.”
“Will Enigma City belong to the Asura’s Gate or even to the Cosmos God Cult?!” Huwang Xiao barked the question at Wang Dingzhi.
“Enigma City belongs to our Asura’s Gate.” Wang Dingzhi clarified fearfully, his heart was trembling inside.
“Then you tell me, why does a Cosmos God Cult disciple dare to order our Asura’s Gate Enforcement Squad prior to the public crowd, right under our noses, in Enigma City? Beating up our Asura’s Gate disciples, humiliating our Asura’s Gate disciples?!” Huwang Xiao questioned mercilessly.
Terrifying Asura qi surged around Huwang Xiao, enveloping the Castellan Manor main hall in a suffocating slaughter aura.
Dread paralyzed all the servants, maids, and guards on the manor grounds, feeling an immense pressure enveloping them.
Wang Dingzhi was still on his knees, holding his breathing as his face turned increasingly paler.
While this was happening in Enigma City’s Castellan Manor, in the neighboring Treasure Oblast’s Castellan Manor, Castellan Peng ZHuwang had just received the message that his disciple Hu Guang was injured in Enigma City to the level that his Qi Sea was destroyed and both hands hacked off. In a fit of anger, he changed the desks and chair beside him into dust with a slam.
“Relay my order, inform the Qi Family’s Patriarch, Qi Lei, to search the entire Enigma City! I don’t care how, he must find that bastard for me! If he escaped, I'll uproot his Qi Family!” Peng ZHuwang’s roar thundered through the manor.
“Yes, Castellan!” The Cosmos God Cult disciple quickly complied and ran out as if he was fleeing for his life.
On another aspect of the Enigma City, inside the Qi Family’s hall, more than a dozen people were lying on to the floor. Amongst these dozen people, one of them was the very same Cosmos God Cult disciple who experienced his Qi Sea ruined and both of your hands hacked off by Huwang Xiao, Hu Guang, and the Asura’s Gate Enforcement Squad Leader, Qi Wu.
The Qi Family had always been closely connected to the Cosmos God Cult, or better phrased, they were Cosmos God Cult’s dog inside Enigma City. Now that a Cosmos God Cult Elder’s son, Hu Guang, got both of his hands and his Qi Sea crippled inside the Enigma City, Qi Lei’s face was warped with anger, and at the same time, with fear.
Asura’s Gate Enforcement Squad Head, Qi Wu, was a direct descendant of the Qi Family’s main branch, someone that Qi Lei arranged in to the Asura’s Gate by pulling some strings. Qi Wu was a good talent and was one of the disciples that the Qi Family was centered on nurturing. He didn’t expect Qi Wu to finish up getting killed by someone like this.
“Sovereign!” A Qi Family Elder burst into the hall looking flustered, confirming to Qi Lei, “Just now, Treasure Oblast’s Lord Castellan delivered someone over with an order, we mus
t search the whole Enigma City to find that murderer, if not, if not…”
“If not what?” Qi Lei asked.
“If see your face escaped, Treasure City’s Castellan said that he would annihilate Qi Family!” That Elder did not dare to conceal the matter, telling Qi Lei that which was said.
Immediately, Qi Lei’s and the other Elders’ faces turned ugly.
Annihilate the Qi Family!
From these words, they already knew the extent of Treasure City Castellan’s ire! Not to mention, Hu Guang’s father had yet to learn concerning this matter, if he knew, one could imagine the consequences.
Qi Lei knew that Treasure City’s Castellan was a person who kept to his term, if the Qi Family really failed to catch that murderer, they would face annihilation.
“Have we found where in fact the killer went?” Qi Lei asked.
Among the present Elder answered, “We received phrase moments ago, that person went in to the Castellan Manor.”
“The Castellan Manor?” This information was unexpected.
“Patriarch, what do we do now?” Another Qi Family Elder inquired Qi Lei.
A ruthless gleam flickered in Qi Lei’s eyes, “To the Castellan Manor, now! Force Wang Dingzhi to surrender that killer to us, in any other case, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Although he didn’t know very well what relation see your face had with Wang Dingzhi, at this moment, Qi Lei wasn’t in a position to be concerned about this point. Regardless of that person’s identity, he must capture him, or the consequences of Treasure City Castellan’s wrath had not been something that their Qi Family could afford!
Ch.420
Make Wang Dingzhi surrender the killer?
That Qi Family Elder was stunned for an instant before vowing solemnly, “Patriarch, rest assured, Wang Dingzhi might be bold, however, not enough to cover for the criminal that harmed Young Noble Hu Guang! I’ll check out the Castellan Manor immediately and can surely drag that murderer back again!” The Elder performed a brisk salute toward Qi Lei before turning around to leave the hall, bringing with him several Qi Family guards, and headed toward the Castellan Manor.
In the Enigma City Castellan Manor’s main hall, Wang Dingzhi was still on his knees.
Huwang Xiao watched the kneeling Wang Dingzhi quietly, a small part of Huwang Xiao understood that the complete matter couldn’t be blamed on Wang Dingzhi only.
Since his Master, Ren Wokuang, disappeared several decades ago, most of Asura’s gate matters were handled by Chen Tianqi. Chen Tianqi endured and offered way because he didn't want an open confrontation with the Cosmos God Cult. Due to that, the place under the Asura’s Gate’s governance was swallowed by the Cosmos God Cult through the years From the original fifty-two oblasts from its heyday, it was reduced to only thirty-six oblasts.
For this reason, the Cosmos God Cult disciples dared behaved in such brazen manner in territories under the Asura’s Gate’s governance!
And for this reason, the Asura’s Gate disciples showed fearful looks when facing Cosmos God Cult disciples.
In that brief span of time, the manor guards sent traveling by Wang Dingzhi earlier quickly knelt down in salute. Like Wang Dingzhi, most of them held their breaths as dread packed their hearts-fear toward Huwang Xiao.
Their Asura’s Gate’s new Sovereign, Huwang Xiao!
Young Noble Divine Dragon!
Young Noble Divine Dragon’s glorious deeds and brutal reputation had spread throughout Starcloud Continent.
There have been also those Poison Corpse Scarabs that had turn into a nightmare in many experts’ hearts.
Just occasions ago, they actually had the guts to attack their Asura’s Gate Sovereign? Finally, they realized the bitter reality. The Castellan stunning them is at fact for his or her own good. Normally, if their mighty Sovereign released those Poison Corpse Scarabs… Remembering the details of how people passed away under the Poison Corpse Scarabs in the rumours, those guards shivered by reflex.
A manor guard suddenly ran into the hall and saluted Huwang Xiao on his legs, reporting, “Reporting to Sovereign, the Qi Family’s Elder Qi Tian led many Qi Family experts over. They’re waiting outside, requesting to see the Castellan.”
“Qi Family’s Elder…” Huwang Xiao considered Wang Dingzhi, “Was that Enforcement Squad Leader Qi Wu a disciple of the Qi Family?” That Qi Wu transported the surname Qi, the connection was easy to make.
“That's so, Sovereign. That Qi Wu is definitely a Qi Family’s disciple, he’s the existing Qi Family Patriarch Qi Lei’s nephew.” Wang Dingzhi honestly revealed everything. Obviously, this whole time, the perspiration operating down his face acquired yet to stop.
“Qi Family Patriarch, Qi Lei’s nephew?” Huwang Xiao snorted, “Apart from Qi Wu, just how many more Qi Family’s disciples are inside Asura’s Gate?”
Wang Dingzhi answered: “About 10 or so. These Qi Family disciples were arranged in to the sect through Qi Lei’s contacts. This subordinate failed terribly in governing the Enigma City and is willing to simply accept any abuse Sovereign will mete out!” Wang Dingzhi knocked his head against the hard floor with a noisy boom, not daring to lift his head to face Huwang Xiao.
Wang Dingzhi was aware that Qi Lei used his cable connections to arrange some Qi Family disciples into Asura’s Gate, just that the Qi Family had a strong influence inside Enigma City. As long as Qi Lei did not act too unscrupulously, crossing the line, Wang Dingzhi would close one eyes to his dark deeds.
Huwang Xiao’s tone of voice was chilly as ever, “Your crime will be judged after this!” Then he turned to the manor safeguard that came in to report, “Lead that Qi Tian and the band of Qi Family’s people in here.”
“Yes, Sovereign.” The manor guard acknowledged respectfully, saluted to Huwang Xiao and exited the hall.
When that manor safeguard remaining, Huwang Xiao finally allowed Wang Dingzhi and the other manor guards to go up to their foot. He ordered the manor guards to retreat, leaving only Wang Dingzhi with him in the main hall.
“You, sit.” Huwang Xiao directed at one of the seats further right down to Wang Dingzhi.
Truth be told, in Huwang Xiao’s presence, Wang Dingzhi as a Domain name Leader was not qualified to sit, but he dared not disobey Huwang Xiao’s order. Therefore, after saying his thanks, Wang Dingzhi sat down gingerly on the chair Huwang Xiao pointed at. Even so, only half of Wang Dingzhi’s butt actually rested on the seat.
Barely a few seconds after Wang Dingzhi sat down, Qi Family’s Elder, Qi Tian, swaggered into the hall with a group of Qi Family’s experts in tow. However, these people were just a little surprised viewing the bits of broken doorways lying around, as though a fight occurred here moments before they arrived.
Along with his surprise, Qi Tian strode in to the hall along with his eye scanning the surroundings. He immediately noticed the son sitting at the center of the hall and Wang Dingzhi. Qi Tian narrowed his eyes at the scene.
According to the description given by the Qi Family disciples, that black-haired young man sitting in the center of the hall was probably the sinner who demolished the Cosmos God Cult disciple, Young Noble Hu Guang’s Qi Sea and take off his arms. But what was this young man’s identification that provided him the qualification to sit equally with Castellan Wang Dingzhi? On top of that, Wang Dingzhi actually sat in the lower position seat.
Qi Tian’s eye flickered as these thoughts sped through his mind, whereas on the top, he stopped before Wang Dingzhi and cupped his hands in greeting, “Castellan Wang.” Despite Qi Family’s strong impact, Wang Dingzhi was still the official Castellan of the Enigma City. In front of Wang Dingzhi, he dared not take action discourteously.
Wang Dingzhi put on an indifferent face, nodding slightly, “What matters have you got?”
Hearing Wang Dingzhi speak in a straightforward manner, Qi Tian also didn't defeat throughout the bush. He directed at Huwang Xiao, “Castellan Wang, this person harmed Cosmos God Cult disciple Hu Guang previously
today at the Auspicious Scepter Restaurant. Not only has he destroyed Young Noble Hu Guang’s Qi Sea, he also cut off both of Young Noble Hu Guang’s hands. I implore Castellan Wang to hand over this person to me, so I can bring him back to the Qi Mansion.”
Wang Dingzhi glanced sideways at Huwang Xiao, yet he couldn’t read anything from Huwang Xiao’s stoic face.
Wang Dingzhi appeared coldly at Qi Tian, “What if I refuse?”
Qi Tian’s face sank, no longer bothered to put up any pretense of courtesy. A mocking scoff sounded as his firmness was laced with a mildly veiled threat, “Castellan Wang, perhaps you have thought of the results? I’m not scared to tell you frankly, that Young Noble Hu he injured is non-e other than Treasure City Castellan’s disciple and also Cosmos God Cult Elder Hu’s only child! Later, when Treasure City’s Castellan and Elder Hu come seeking an account and find out that you actually protected the legal, hehe…!”
At the end, Qi Tian positioned his threat on the table.
Wang Dingzhi fumed with fury inside his heart, this Qi Tian was just an average Qi Family Elder, but now, this person was taking a dump right on his mind; coming to show his ‘prowess’ in the Castellan Manor, his territory? All these years of adhering to Chen Tianqi’s orders, he had been enduring, which indirectly allowed Qi Family’s arrogance to fester to this degree!
Wang Dingzhi suddenly struck his hand out.
Although Qi Tian held the status of the Elder in the Qi Family, he was only a peak half-Saint, how could he withstand a hand from Wang Dingzhi? Inside a split second, his body flew back from the drive, making an arch in the air across the hall.
“Elder Qi Tian!” Professionals that came with Qi Tian cried out in surprise, hurrying hastily to his side.
Qi Tian wobbled unsteadily wanting to stand up, staring fixedly at Wang Dingzhi. A rapid vicious glint flickered past his pupils; Wang Dingzhi actually attacked and injured him?!
