Hua… Six metal-elemental dragon cultivators who were wearing white Taoist robes rushed out from the clouds.
Without a word, Su Han shot out a green light with her longsword. As peak Qian-level cultivators in the Elder Council, they should know the rules of the Dragon God Shrine.
They had appeared in East Ocean City, showing no regard for the Dragon God Shrine.
Boom… The green light suddenly split into six pieces, shooting toward the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators immediately blocked the green light, but they felt their arms stinging from the attack, which surprised them.
This longsword that was refined from the White Jade Sword had a Thunder Roc Tailbone melted into it. Thunder Roc had the highest flight speed among demon beasts, and it possessed lightning properties.
That was why the attacks from this longsword contained some natural lightning energy.
“Don’t get us wrong, Inspector Su. We came here to do some investigating,” one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators said to Su Han.
Stepping on the longsword, Su Han looked at them coldly. Since she had been immersed in cultivation, she didn’t know about Wang Shitong’s death in East Ocean City, and the Dragon God Shrine didn’t release the news.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators secretly checked the realm of the beautiful woman who was standing beside Su Han and found that she was just a mid-tier Qian-level cultivator. Therefore, they disregarded her and turned their gazes back to Su Han.
When they saw Su Han remain cold, they said after a moment of consideration, “A metal-elemental dragon cultivator died in East Ocean City, and we came to investigate this issue.”
As members of the Elder Council and peak Qian-level cultivators, they had gotten the news of Wang Shitong’s death in East Ocean City after a few days.
They had planned to keep clear of the spies of the Dragon God Shrine and the regional inspector of East Ocean City to catch Hao Ren who was the biggest suspect. However, they didn’t expect Su Han to be here.
“Oh? A cultivator was killed?” Surprised, Su Han looked at them and said, “Since it happened in East Ocean City, it’s my job to investigate it, not yours.”
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked at each other angrily.
It was a big issue that Wang Shitong, a peak Qian-level cultivator who could potentially charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm, suddenly died in East Ocean City. That was why the six of them came together.
After all, no one had dared to kill metal-elemental dragon cultivators in the past hundreds of years, let alone a peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon cultivator.
Since Su Han had half of the metal-elemental dragon bloodline and was the regional inspector representing the Dragon God Shrine, they had compromised by explaining it to Su Han.
However, Su Han was still aggressive.
On the other hand, Su Han was angry that the metal-elemental dragon cultivators entered East Ocean City to catch cultivators without warning. They were indeed arrogant!
It was a big case that a metal-elemental dragon cultivator was killed in East Ocean City. If the metal-elemental dragons had given a heads up to the Dragon God Shrine or Su Han, they probably would have allowed the metal-elemental dragons to do the investigation.
“To tell the truth, the cultivator was Wang Shiting, a peak Qian-level cultivator from our Elder Council,” they continued.
“Peak Qian-level…” Su Han froze for a moment and thought, “No wonder the metal-elemental dragon clan sent six pea Qian-level masters to investigate the death of the cultivator. However, who has the ability to kill such a master in East Ocean City, especially when the master was from the most powerful metal-elemental dragon clan?”
“After some investigating, we found that the cultivator who is related to the case of Wang Shitong is in this house. We have come to invite this cultivator to help us investigate this issue,” one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators continued as he pointed at the small seaside house which was Hao Ren’s home.
Meanwhile, they released powerful auras.
Standing on the longsword, Su Han lost her balance and was sent flying dozens of meters.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators came here to catch Hao Ren!
Since Hao Ren was an inspector of the Dragon God Shrine, they had concealed their auras in East Ocean City so that they wouldn’t alert the Dragon God Shrine. Now that Su Han wouldn’t allow them to do their investigation, they didn’t need to conceal their strengths anymore!
Standing dozens of meters behind Su Han, Lady Zhen lifted her palm and touched Su Han’s back lightly, stopping her backward momentum.
“Humph!”
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators snorted arrogantly and dashed toward the house.
Capturing a cultivator who was below Dui-level didn’t need the six of them to come together. However, worried that the powerful figure who had killed Wang Shitong was still in East Ocean City, they had come to East Ocean City together.
After searching repeatedly, they had found no presence of a super master around.
In their minds, they would get some clues as to who had killed Wang Shitong if they captured Hao Ren and interrogated him!
As one of the eight elders of the Elder Council, Wang Shitong’s death was absolutely a big issue. If they captured Hao Ren, they didn’t think that the Dragon God Shrine would get angry at metal-elemental dragons for a small inspector.
However, if they had consulted with the Dragon God Shrine before they investigated the inspector, then things would get complicated!
For metal-elemental dragon cultivators, the fastest and most direct way to solve problems was by brute force!
“How dare you!”
Su Han suddenly understood that the cultivator whom they planned to catch was probably Hao Ren!
Her longsword shot out three ice frost beams, trying to block the six metal-elemental dragons.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators suddenly appeared in East Ocean City and had dodged the spies of the Dragon God Shrine on purpose to catch Hao Ren, an inspector of the Dragon God Shrine and the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
Right now, except for Hao Ren, the Lu sisters, and other cultivators, there were still three mortals including Yue Yang, Hao Zhonghua, and Grandma in the house!
After losing a peak Qian-level elder, the metal-elemental dragon clan got so furious and humiliated that they ignored all the rules!
If the battle began, the cultivators such as Hao Ren and Xie Yujia would be ok, but the mortals like Grandma would be in danger!
Worried, Su Han shot out three ice frost beams again.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators were here to capture the person they want and then return to their respective caves. The Dragon God Shrine could do nothing to them after the whole thing.
Without the dragon palaces behind them, the metal-elemental dragon cultivators lived in their caves. If they caught Hao Ren, the Dragon God Shrine wouldn’t be able to find a way to negotiate with them. The Dragon God Shrine would either have to strike these six peak Qian-level cultivators or declare war against all the metal-elemental dragons!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The metal-elemental dragon cultivators shattered the three ice beams condensed by Su Han’s nature essence.
She was only at top-tier Qian-level. Even if she had reached peak Qian-level, she wouldn’t be able to defeat these six old men.
Wang Shitong was the weakest one among the eight peak Qian-level masters in the Elder Council. These six metal-elemental dragon cultivators had reached peak Qian-level hundreds of years ago!
The Taiyi Cave Master had his own plan and thus didn’t come with them, but the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators didn’t think that a regional inspector could block them!
Six white lights shot past Su Han.
Standing behind Su Han, Lady Zhen was cl
oser to the house. Since the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators knew that Su Han was a high-level inspector, they didn’t continue attacking her. However, they found the smiling woman who was floating in front of them an eyesore!
Hua… Six white lights shot toward Lady Zhen.
Lady Zhen didn’t move while the precious stones embroidered on her colorful traditional dress lit up slightly.
As if the six blinding white lights had shot into cotton, not even moving a corner of the dress.
“Hehehe…” Lady Zhen covered her smile and said, “You attacked me first.”
Her pretty hand picked up her oil-paper umbrella lightly.
Boom… More powerful than the Soul Formation Realm!
652 Master Amongst Masters!
“Impossible!” Sensing the powerful presence beyond their imagination, the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators were stunned.
Such an aura surpassed the Heavenly Dragon Realm and the Soul Formation Realm, and it shouldn’t be found in this world! They thought that it must have been faked through some special technique!
As cultivators who had reached peak Qian-level after the traditional life-and-death training from the metal-elemental dragon clan, they circulated their nature essence to their limits and launched six white lights as thick as arms without hesitation.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators of peak Qian-level all launched attacks with their full force!
Holding her oil-paper umbrella, Lady Zhen still stood there and didn’t dodge.
When the six white lights struck her body, her colorful dress brightened a bit, and the six lights vanished!
Lady Zhen was covered in ultimate treasures!
She had made this colorful treasured garment when she was bored, and it was in the same style as the dress that she had given to Zhao Yanzi. While Zhao Yanzi’s dress could only defend against attacks from ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, this dress could easily block violent strikes from peak Qian-level cultivators!
Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t break this colorful treasure garment with ease!
The attacks from peak Qian-level cultivators didn’t even break one golden thread on the garment.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked at each other and were astonishment.
After they reached peak Qian-level, they rarely met people who could rival them below Fifth Heaven. However, the combined force of the six of them couldn’t even damage Lady Zhen’s dress. What terrifying power was that!
“Could she be a cultivator from the Above Realm?” they thought.
“Little peak Qian-level cultivators; I’m not interested in fighting you.” Lady Zhen lifted her white hand and yawned. “You can catch anyone you want. But while I’m visiting this place, don’t spoil my fun!”
When she said those last words, her tone became stern.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators shook violently, sensing a crazy suppression that they had never felt before!
They shivered with fear like kittens facing a tiger!
Lady Zhen opened her right hand, and the oil-paper umbrella that had floral patterns on them flew up in the wind.
The ordinary raindrops that were falling on the surface of the umbrella suddenly changed into golden raindrops and dashed outward.
Swoosh…
These raindrops were faster than bullets.
Su Han walked closer to Lady Zhen and stood under the umbrella while the raindrops attacked the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators!
“Supreme spiritual treasure!” The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators almost yelled.
While the oil-paper umbrella spun slowing in the air, the raindrops that fell on it were bounced off continuously with golden lights.
One of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators had his shoulder pierced by one raindrop!
They immediately took out their dharma treasures to block, but their powerful dharma treasures were shattered when they touched the golden lights which were formed by the raindrops!
“You have fun.” With a smile, Lady Zhen took Su Han’s hand and floated toward the house.
Hovering in the air, the oil-paper umbrella was still turning slowly.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators tried to flee, but they couldn’t move!
Pu… They spat out a mouthful of essence blood to cast their secret techniques. However, when they flew only about a dozen meters higher, they were knocked back by an invisible wall.
The raindrops fell on the umbrella steadily, and the golden lights bouncing off the umbrella forced them to scramble to dodge.
They were like small wild beasts that were locked in a cage and were shot at by bullets!
Lady Zhen landed on the ground while pulling Su Han with her. With a wave of her hand, another oil-paper umbrella appeared in her palm.
Su Han looked up and saw that oil-paper umbrella still hovering in the high sky. It looked ordinary, but the golden lights it shot out forced the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators to block with full force.
The top-tier masters of the metal-elemental dragon clan were completely under Lady Zhen’s control! If the attacks continued, they would be seriously wounded or even killed!
Su Han glanced at Lady Zhen, sensing the power of an eternal demon king.
“With such little strength, how can you fight Qiu Niu?” Lady Zhen said lightly and pointed at Su Han’s inner elbow.
Su Han’s jade longsword suddenly flew up, and Lady Zhen touched the handle with her finger.
Hum!
The jade longsword buzzed as there was a sudden addition of a trace of nature essence.
Su Han caught the longsword and suddenly felt the intense lightning energy!
The trace of demonic soul contained in the Thunder Roc Tailbone in the sword handle was activated, and the longsword seemed to be alive.
The power of Su Han’s natal dharma treasure doubled!
With the longsword in her hand, Su Han looked at Lady Zhen in surprise.
“I met your mom once and even fought with her. You…” Lady Zhen glanced at Su Han and continued, “Look like your mom.”
Su Han looked at Lady Zhen in confusion, wondering if she were telling the truth.
She looked at the high sky again and saw the slowly turning oil-paper umbrella had expanded and had a diameter of hundreds of meters!
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators had been forced to the edge of the oil-paper umbrella, and each of them was covered in wounds.
The dense raindrops landing on the umbrella were bounced off as thick golden lights.
The huge umbrella could block hundreds of cultivators of peak Qian-level, let alone six of them!
With the aid of the raindrops, the oil-paper umbrella was an unrivaled killing tool. However, it was only for blocking the rain for Lady Zhen.
She had seven colorful traditional dresses for her to change into any time, and she had over a dozen similar oil-paper umbrellas to choose according to the patterns on them and her moods.
She didn’t want to kill the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators to spoil her good mood and dirty one of her favorite oil-paper umbrellas with blood.
“We are back!” Lady Zhen pushed open the door and said with a smile.
She leaned the umbrella against the door and said, “I wanted to buy some fruit and asked Little Su to be my guide, but we couldn’t find any grocery stores.”
“Forget the fruits!” Grandma waved her hand. “You’ve brought so many gifts already!”
Lady Zhen and Su Han had been outside for only a few minutes, but that was enough for Lady Zhen to defeat six metal-elemental dragon cultivators who were at peak Qian-level.
However, she didn’t like killing nor wanted to solve the problem for the Dragon God Shrine. If these tough metal-elemental dragons were killed, the Dragon God Shrine would get all the benefit while she got nothing from it.
It would be worse if Qiu Niu blamed her for it after he cam
e out of seclusion cultivation.
However, if she killed anyone who messed with Zhen Congming, Qiu Niu wouldn’t have any objections to that!
Standing at the window, Hao Ren looked at the huge spinning umbrella and the six black dots which were scrambling to dodge the attacks. He knew it was Lady Zhen’s doing.
“Little Zhen, come and eat some tang yuan!” Grandma called out to Lady Zhen.
“Ok!” Lady Zhen looked at Duan Yao who had been sitting alone and said, “Yao! Come and eat together.”
Wearing Zhao Yanzi’s middle school uniform, Duan Yao walked over slowly and sat beside Lady Zhen, ignoring everyone in the house except Lady Zhen.
Grandma didn’t like her due to her dull expression. However, she couldn’t neglect the girl who was brought by Lady Zhen and handed her a bowl full of tang yuan.
After taking the bowl, Duan Yao didn’t even say thank you. She was determined to kill Hao Ren but felt a bit hesitant when she saw Hao Ren’s parents and grandma.
Born in Sky Mountain Sect with parents as cultivators, she had experienced little warmth from her family. When Sky Mountain Sect was in danger, she was sent to Ethereal Summit to take the blame without asking for her opinion.
“However, if Hao Ren died, his family would be sad, right?” she thought.
“Yao, if you find them too hot, you can wait for a while before eating,” Hao Zhonghua said when he saw Duan Yao keeping silent with the bowl in her hands.
With her cute face, Duan Yao looked like an ordinary middle school girl in Zhao Yanzi’s school uniform. Hao Zhonghua paid special attention to her since she seemed shy.
“Humph!” Duan Yao glanced at Hao Zhonghua and walked to the sofa in the living with the bowl of tang yuan. She sat there alone and ate the sesame tang yuan quietly.
Made by Grandma, the tang yuan were soft and tasty. As the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master, Duan Yao had eaten all kinds of delicacies on Six Heaven, but she had never tasted such delicious food.
After eating a bowl of tang yuan, Hao Ren turned to look at Duan Yao who was sitting in one corner of the living room, almost mistaking her for Zhao Yanzi.
