“You’re indeed a young hero. I didn’t expect Shangguan Lie to be so lucky. He didn’t die after obtaining the flood dragon blood and even took in such a good grand-disciple. How enviable,” He Wuji said with a smile.

“Senior, you flatter me. I’m ashamed.” Han Zhao was polite for a moment before cutting to the chase. “I wonder why the two of you invited me here?”

“It’s not a big deal. We just want to ask if Gang Leader Han appeared in Fanlin Town 200 miles west of the city two months ago?” City Lord He said.

“Fanlin Town. Haven’t you heard of it?”

Han Zhao’s expression did not change.

“But I heard that someone saw Leader Han outside Fanlin Town. How do you explain this? Do you want me to call that person over and confront you?” City Lord He narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly sank.

“Explain? I don’t need to explain to anyone!” Han Zhao smiled indifferently.

“You!” City Lord He was stunned. Han Zhao’s answer directly stumped him.

“Everyone knows that my He family’s He Xuan died in Fanlin Town. If it wasn’t you, who do you think it was?!”

City Lord He changed the topic and directly accused him.

“Investigating cases is your business.” Han Zhao looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

“I…” City Lord He felt that his past experience of interrogating prisoners seemed to be useless on Han Zhao. He had underestimated this young man. The main reason was that he could not really attack.

“We lost a Five Qi Grandmaster and the Nine Nether Mansion lost a Grand

Priest with perfected seven veins. Even if we can let the matter rest, will the Nine Nether Mansion let you off easily? This time, once they send someone over, they won’t be at the Bind-level. Even if the Qi family is very strong, distant water can’t quench our immediate thirst. Cooperating with the He family will be beneficial to both of us.”

He Wuji spoke.

“Old senior, even if the Nine Nether Mansion sends someone, they will first ask why the He family’s elder appeared in such a strange place, right?” Han Zhao asked. He suddenly smiled and said, “It’s better for you to worry about yourselves first.”

“I’ve seen many hot-blooded young people like you. Most of the time, it’s not… He Wuji frowned and began to take advantage of his seniority.

“Alright, old senior. I didn’t come here today to listen to you.” Han Zhao interrupted He Wuji. Young people didn’t need any suggestions.

“You invited me here to give me face. I came to the appointment to give you face. However, you made me wait for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. This means that you’re not sincere. Now that I’m done talking, I’ll take my leave.”

Han Zhao cupped his fists and bowed. He turned around and strode out of the side hall.

“How dare you! Stand…”

City Lord He was furious. With a flash, he reached out to grab Han Zhao’s shoulder.

Not only did Han Zhao not take him seriously, but he also did not even take their Martial Saint ancestor seriously. The Furious Flood Dragon Gang had the Qi family as their backer, and they had the Imperial Court behind them! No one was afraid of anyone!

Buzz!

City Lord He’s hand had just reached a foot away from Han Zhao’s shoulder when he felt a powerful force coming at him.

A translucent spherical Qi barrier appeared out of thin air on the surface of Han Zhao’s body and enveloped his entire body.

“Pfft!”

City Lord He was only a One Qi Grandmaster. As soon as his palm touched the Qi barrier, he was instantly counterattacked by the Connate Astral Qi. His chest felt like it had been hit hard and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Crack! Crack!

“My hand! Let go quickly!” The bones in his right palm were squeezed and twisted, causing him to cry out in pain. However, his right hand seemed to have been nailed to the Qi barrier and could not escape at all.

“How dare you!” He Wuji didn’t expect Han Zhao to dare to attack in front of him.

Blazing Sun True Astral!

“Bang! He Wuji punched out. His entire fist was red and blazing flames ignited on it. The shocking Fire Fiendish Qi burned until the air kept twisting.

Han Zhao turned around and faced the Martial Saint’s attack. He still had his hands behind his back, but his right hand behind him opened and suddenly clenched.

Boom!!

The Connate Astral Qi on the surface of his body contracted as if his heart was beating. Then, it expanded rapidly and exploded.

Two violent forces collided head-on.

City Lord He’s body was sent flying like a cannonball. He Wuji was shocked and hurriedly withdrew more than half of the Fiendish Qi, using all his strength to remove the Astral Qi in his body.

Stomp! Stomp!

He Wuji dragged City Lord He’s body back seven to eight steps before stabilizing himself. When he looked over, Han Zhao had already walked out of the side hall.

The room was a mess. The tables, chairs, and wooden furniture were all covered in cracks.

“Ancestor, are we going to let him go just like that..

“Shut up!”

He Wuji shouted at him to stop.

“Astral Qi!”

Looking at Han Zhao’s elegant back view, he could not help but widen his eyes. Only by condensing true qi to the extreme could he gather Astral Qi.

He had cultivated the Sun True Astral Fist Technique for decades and was called a fist technique genius by the previous ancestor. He was also at the age of 50 when he broke through to the Martial Saint Realm and condensed the

Blazing Sun True Astral.

This young man in his early twenties had also condensed Astral Qi?

“Can the Furious Flood Dragon True Technique do that? Is Shangguan Lie willing to share the flood dragon blood with an outsider?”

He Wuji’s expression was uncertain. In the end, he narrowed his eyes.

“It’s not a good thing for the He family to have such a person appear in the prefecture capital. Moreover, we’ve already offended him today. We can only let the Nine Nether Mansion resolve this problem..”
