Chapter 20 Seeking Vengeance for an Eighty-Thousand-Year-Old Event, Inviting to a Banquet
“You’re asking for trouble.”
Xiao Yan stepped forward, his eyes calm yet cold, his mind racing with countless ways to kill the young man in fine clothes before him.
“Xiao Yan, you...”
Xiao Hongdou hadn’t expected her younger brother to stand up at this moment, her face immediately filled with worry and tension.
In her eyes, Xiao Yan had just recovered from his illness and had never been exposed to cultivation since childhood.
How could he possibly be a match for Song Tian and his gang?
“Sister, don’t worry,” Xiao Yan said calmly.
Just then, a distant screeching sound echoed, shaking the long street.
Several terrifyingly powerful beasts, their scales gleaming, were charging towards them.
Boom!!
The next moment, the sky split open as a black flash, swift as thunder, pierced through the unprepared young man, Song Tian, with a swift “pfft.”
The man holding the spear flicked his wrist, causing Song Tian’s body to explode into a mist of blood.
“Young master...”
Song Tian’s servants were left dumbfounded by the sudden violent scene before them.
Nearby cultivators, who had been expecting to watch a good show, were equally shocked, frozen in place with unprecedented astonishment.
Nanque Sacred City had a ban on fighting, with powerful cultivators patrolling everywhere.
“That’s... the third young master of the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhao Hao... Young Master Zhao...”
Someone recognized a figure riding one of the beasts, further shocking the crowd.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
Xiao Hongdou’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend what was happening.
“What the fuck”
The spear-wielding man on the beast was a cold-faced black-clad man, his eyes devoid of emotion.
Anyone who saw him would turn pale and tremble, as if faced with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This black-clad man had killed countless beings, resulting in an aura of overwhelming terror.
“Hmm?”
Hearing the name, Xiao Hongdou paused, finding it familiar as if she had heard it before.
Then she realized, her eyes widening in disbelief.
She stammered, unable to speak properly, “C-could it be the legendary... young master of the hidden immortal clan...”
Xiao Hongdou recalled the ancient warship from the hidden immortal clan that had arrived in Nanque Sacred City yesterday.
Realizing this, she became extremely excited, her dust-covered face turning red.
To someone like her, the young master of the hidden immortal clan was a mythical figure.
She usually only heard rumors about his brilliance, making his peers bow their heads in awe.
He was someone she could never hope to meet.
“The young master of the hidden immortal clan...”
Even Xiao Yan’s calm expression changed slightly, though he quickly regained composure.
He felt puzzled.
Why would the young master of the hidden immortal clan, someone so high above, help someone as insignificant as Xiao Hongdou, and even mention looking for people from Qingxu Holy Land?
After her excitement, Xiao Hongdou also felt puzzled.
Why would such a figure suddenly seek her out?
“Miss Hongdou, here’s the situation. Do you remember eighty thousand years ago, when a senior from Qingxu Holy Land quelled a dark turmoil? An ancestor of the Jiang family feels guilty about it...”
Seeing Xiao Hongdou’s confusion, Zhao Hao explained politely, without his usual airs as Nanque Sacred City’s young master, “Young Master Jiang came to Nanque Sacred City because of that matter. You’re incredibly fortunate.”
He couldn’t help but feel envious too.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou was stunned, unable to believe it, her head spinning.
It was because of something from eighty thousand years ago?
She only knew about it from her master’s occasional clear moments, when he angrily cursed those who had taken Qingxu Holy Land’s resources, ungrateful for the past kindness.
“Haha, actually, I’m here to invite Miss Hongdou to a banquet tonight at the City Lord’s Mansion. All influential figures from around will be there.”
“Rest assured, with Young Master Jiang on your side, all the grievances you’ve suffered will be addressed.”
“This news will soon spread throughout Nanque Sacred City.”
Seeing Xiao Hongdou still in a daze, Zhao Hao smiled and added.
Around them, cultivators who had gathered due to the earlier commotion were equally stunned, then exploded in excitement.
