“Where is Ye Qiu? Come out and face your death!”
The voice thundered like a bolt of lightning, filling every corner of the plaza, shaking the eardrums of the guests and Dragon Gate disciples.
Someone causing trouble?
Everyone instinctively turned their heads toward the northeast.
Three figures approached, striding forward.
They wore purple python robes, their hair bound with golden crowns, exuding an extraordinary aura.
With each step they took, a “thud” echoed, leaving a five-centimeter-deep footprint in the ground.
“Who are they?”
“Such powerful presence!”
“They don’t seem to come in peace!”
The War God glanced over, his cloudy eyes narrowing slightly; he had already recognized the three uninvited guests.
Long Si, Long Qi, and Long Ba from the Forbidden City!
Tang Fei stood abruptly and shouted, “Men, stop them!”
Swish, swish, swish!
A dozen armed soldiers quickly stepped forward, blocking the path of the three.
“Get lost!”
Long Ba flicked his long sleeve, unleashing a tremendous force.
Bang, bang, bang!
The dozen soldiers were sent flying on the spot.
The guests’ faces changed.
“These three old men have some nerve, daring to touch the Nether King’s Hall’s men. Who are they?”
Tang Fei, enraged by the sight, was about to call for more men when a gunshot rang out.
Bang!
Long Ye fired, the bullet whistling toward Long Ba.
Long Ba seemed unfazed, flicking his sleeve, and the bullet was deflected before it could reach him.
Then, Long Ba coldly glanced at Long Ye.
In that instant, Long Ye felt as if he were being stared down by a ferocious beast, his body chilled to the bone.
“I’ve seen you,” Long Ba said coldly to Long Ye, “Wait your turn. After I deal with Ye Qiu, I’ll kill you.”
The War God’s voice rang out, “Long Ba, today is for bidding farewell to Cao Yuan. Is it appropriate for you to cause trouble?”
“What’s inappropriate?” Long Ba replied, “It’s the perfect time to send Ye Qiu down to join Cao Yuan.”
The War God’s expression darkened.
At that moment, Long Qi spoke up, “War God, last time at the Bai family, if it weren’t for you, we would’ve killed Ye Qiu then and there. He wouldn’t have survived this long.”
“Are you going to stop us today?”
“War God, don’t blame me for not giving you face. Anyone who tries to stop us from killing Ye Qiu today, no matter who they are or what their status, I’ll kill them.”
Hiss—
The crowd gasped.
No one expected Long Qi to be so audacious, openly challenging the War God.
He all but said, War God, if you dare interfere, I’ll kill you too.
The War God smiled faintly and said, “Long Qi, I advise you not to touch Ye Qiu. He’s not only the new leader of the Dragon Gate but also Elder Tang’s grandson-in-law.”
What, Ye Qiu is the Supreme Commander Elder Tang’s grandson-in-law?
The crowd was shocked.
“Enough, War God, don’t try to scare me with Elder Tang’s name. I’m not afraid,” Long Qi said, “Ye Qiu hasn’t even married Elder Tang’s granddaughter yet, but even if he had, I’d still kill him.”
“If Elder Tang knows what’s good for him, he won’t cross us. He knows what happens to those who oppose us.”
The War God rebuked, “Long Qi, you’ve got some nerve, not even respecting Elder Tang?”
Long Qi scoffed, “That’s right, I don’t respect him. What can you do about it?”
The guests were stunned again.
“Where do these three old men come from? How can they be so arrogant?”
“I’ve never seen anyone who doesn’t respect Elder Tang and the War God.”
“So brazen, aren’t they afraid of dying without a burial place?”
The War God stared at Long Qi, his expression grim.
He hadn’t expected Long Qi to be so bold this time, completely unlike before.
Clearly, Long Qi’s confidence stemmed from Long Si.
Long Si had been in seclusion for years, and his strength must have greatly increased upon emerging.
“I wonder what level Long Si’s cultivation has reached?”
The War God’s gaze lingered on Long Si.
Noticing the War God’s look, Long Si said coldly, “Today’s matter is between us and Ye Qiu. I advise everyone here not to interfere, or don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Whoosh!
As Long Si’s words fell, his body turned into a blur. In a flash, he appeared before the War God.
What does this old man want?
Is he going to attack the War God?
Instantly, everyone held their breath, nervously watching Long Si.
Tang Fei was the most anxious, his right hand already gripping the gun at his waist, ready to fire if Long Si made another move.
Long Si looked at the War God, a chilling smile on his face, “I’m going to kill Ye Qiu. You won’t stop me, will you?”
The War God said calmly, “Ye Qiu isn’t so easy to kill. I suggest you back off.”
“Hmph, I’d like to see just how hard he is to kill,” Long Si said, then suddenly threw a punch at the War God.
“Stop!”
Tang Fei drew his pistol.
Hundreds of Nether King’s Hall soldiers also aimed their guns at Long Si.
However, as the fist neared the War God’s face, Long Si’s arm shifted, redirecting the punch to hit Master Du’e, who was sitting beside the War God.
Bang!
Master Du’e took the punch to his shoulder, his body flying out, crashing more than ten meters away.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Master Du’e stood up, clasped his hands together, and chanted, “Amitabha. Benefactor, this old monk has no grudge against you. Why did you attack me?”
“No grudge?” Long Si said coldly, “I heard that last time at the Bai family, it was because of your interference that my ninth brother died tragically?”
“And my fifth brother went to Tianlong Temple to kill Ye Qiu but hasn’t returned to the capital. Where is he?”
“Du’e, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll kill you and then settle accounts with that old bald donkey Kongjian.”
Master Du’e chanted again, “Amitabha. My master passed away some time ago and has gone to the Western Paradise.”
“That old bald donkey Kongjian is dead?” Long Si was stunned, “Then where’s my fifth brother?”
Master Du’e said, “Benefactor Long Wu, he…”
“He’s dead,” a voice interrupted Master Du’e. Then, Ye Qiu emerged from the memorial hall with Cao Qingcheng and others.
Long Si, not recognizing Ye Qiu, asked, “Who are you?”
“Fourth Brother, that’s Ye Qiu,” Long Ba said, then turned to Ye Qiu, “Ye Qiu, we’ve been looking for you. You dare show yourself? Good, I’ll kill you now.”
Boom!
Long Ba charged forward, throwing a punch at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu remained calm, standing still. Only when Long Ba was two meters away did Ye Qiu leisurely raise his right hand, extending his index finger.
Instantly, a sword’s cry rang out.
Whoosh—
Then,
A bloody hole appeared in Long Ba’s forehead, and his body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
