"Big brother!"

At the entrance of the manor, Lu Yue and his two companions hurried to Ling Hao's side and bowed deeply.

Actually, Lü Yuè and Qinglóng both had a hunch in their hearts that their eldest brother was very likely to appear.

After all, the aristocratic family has a profound heritage. Just the two of them are still a little weak.

"How are you guys doing" Ling Hao asked the three of them.

"Don't worry, big brother, it's a small matter!" The three of them shook their heads at the same time.

"This is a healing pill refined by Xuanpang. It's quite effective. Try it!" Ling Hao picked out three pills from his body.

"Thank you, big brother!" The three of them took the pills and swallowed them.

"Take a breather here!" Ling Hao said, then walked towards Chu Jun.

"Are you deliberately making me take action against them" Chu Jun took a deep breath and then spoke in anger.

The moment he saw Ling Hao, it dawned on him that Ling Hao was going to completely eradicate the Chu family.

"Do you know why the Shadow Gate and the Western Bloodguard are here at the Chu family estate today" Ling Hao ignored Chu Jun and looked at Chu Heng, speaking in a soft tone.

What do you mean

Chu Heng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Night Maiden, tell him what crime he has committed!" Lu Yue opened his mouth.

"Received!" Yejī responded loudly.

"Chu Heng, the head of the Chu clan, colluded with foreign enemies and plotted to assassinate King Xi. His crimes are grave, he should be executed!"

"Huh!" At this, Chu Heng's pupils constricted sharply.

Originally, he always thought the other party was still here because of last time, but he never expected it to be about this!

That shouldn't be!

Although he learned two days ago that assassins from the Heavenly Darkness Kingdom had entered the country from the South Border, he hasn't received any feedback on their movements yet!

No, the cat's out of the bag already!

A shiver ran down my spine, and my right eyelid twitched uncontrollably several times.

He was very clear about the consequences of this matter. If it really came to light and they found out it was him, then the Chu family's powerful clan would be finished!

“You unfilial son, what on earth have you done!” Chu Jun, standing beside him, glared angrily at Chu Heng and roared.

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense. I haven't done anything, they are framing me!" Chu Heng forced himself to calm down and responded.

"Heh heh, is that so" Ling Hao spoke again, his tone still as flat as ever.

"Aren't you curious why we all came to you, but you haven't received any feedback from the Heavenly Yin Country"

"Nonsensical!" Chu Heng took another deep breath and spoke loudly, "When you've been falsely accused, there are always reasons to justify it!"

"I, Chu Heng, walk upright and sit properly. Your accusations of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting the assassination of important military officials are nothing but fantasy and absurdity!"

"Even at the brink of death, he's still stubborn!" Lu Yue said in a deep voice, raising his hand and waving it. "Bring him up!"

"Yes, sir!" Two voices came from behind the crowd.

In a moment, two blood guards dragged the Tianyin country's Duke to their front.

At this time, he had long since lost the aura of being above all others. His eyes were hollow and lifeless, resembling a fallen hegemon.

Boom!

Upon seeing the other party, Chu Heng's only sliver of hope vanished. He slumped down on his rear end, a cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

His face was filled with despair. He knew, the Chu family's reign was over!

Treason against his own country, plotting to assassinate the most important officials of the state, this alone is enough to warrant the execution of his entire family!

At this moment, infinite regret finally arose in my heart.

If only I had known this beforehand, why would I have bothered provoking Ling Hao Just out of spite, I've brought the entire Chu clan down!

Alas, there's no medicine for regret in life. One misstep leads to another, everything is a consequence of cause and effect!

"You real scoundrel!" At this, Chu Jun seemed to age decades all at once.

"Father, save me! I don't want to die!" Chu Heng scrambled towards his father.

Boom!

Before he could get closer, Chu Jun kicked him away with one foot and shouted angrily.

"You, a disobedient descendant of the Chu family, have utterly destroyed it! How can I face the ancestors of the Chu family when I go down there!"

"Are you two done with your act" Lu Yue spoke in a low voice, "Will you commit suicide to apologize or shall we help you"

Whew!

Chu Jun let out a heavy sigh, looked at Ling Hao and opened his mouth.

"I know your goal is the entire Chu clan, this is all self-inflicted by this rebellious son. I don't blame you."

"I know your rules, obstructing the Shadow Gate is considered aiding and abetting, let alone the fact that I hurt one of your people. Today, there's no question we will fight to the death."

Although I know your strength is formidable, the words "self-destruct" don't exist in my dictionary, Chu Jun's. Even knowing I might not be your match, I want to try once!

"As you wish!" Ling Hao spoke softly, then looked at Lu Yue and the others: "Take everyone out a kilometer away!"

"Roger that, big brother!" The three nodded simultaneously, helped the Tianyin Nation's Duke up from the ground and turned to leave.

On the other side, Chu Heng and the other members of the aristocratic family also quickly retreated back into the aristocratic family's courtyard.

"Very well, today I shall see for myself the prowess of the Western King. Let me see what you've got!" Chu Jun narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Boom!

In the next moment, the aura on his body exploded outwards, instantly shrouding the void within a thousand meters.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Next, Chu Jun's hands swiftly drew countless afterimages in the air, creating a piercing whistling sound.

In an instant, a faint, rapidly rotating phantom of the Bagua diagram appeared above his head.

"Take that!"

Subsequently, Chu Jun spoke in a deep voice. The Bagua diagram materialized as if it were a tangible object, carrying an overwhelming aura and hurtling towards Ling Hao at lightning speed. Its momentum was like a rainbow.

Wherever it passed, a fierce wind raged, destroying everything in its path. The trees lining the road were snapped in half one after another, and their withered leaves danced in the air, obscuring the sun.

There seems to be a great momentum of overwhelming change, like a storm brewing.

"Sorry, you won't be able to see my cards just yet!" Facing Chu Jun's full-powered attack, Ling Hao stood calmly and said.

Whew!

At the same time, a more powerful aura than Chu Jun's swept out from him.

Leaves dancing in mid-air were shattered into dust instantly, and those miles away couldn't help but shiver.

Then, Ling Hao flipped his wrist, and the Blood Shadow Saber appeared in his hand. Without any fancy moves, he slashed forward with a single stroke.

Boom!

A deafening clap of thunder echoed across the heavens, followed by a crimson blade that descended from the sky like lightning, slashing straight at the phantom's Bagua formation. The impact was earth-shattering.

Boom!

Another earth-shattering boom echoed through the air. A destructive shockwave rippled outwards, causing the outer walls of the Chu Clan's mansion to collapse in a deafening crash. Within a radius of one kilometer, everything was instantly reduced to rubble.

Click!

The next moment, a voice reached the ears of the crowd a thousand meters away.

Immediately following, a trench spanning about a thousand meters appeared on the road ahead of Ling Hao, extending deep into the Chu Clan Estate.

In the estate, houses were in ruins, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and dust flew about, just like an earthquake zone.

This blade, it's not just about killing Chu Jun, it's also a warning to some people.

And, as Ling Hao himself said, this sword was far from his trump card!

Fewer than a handful of people in the world are qualified to see through his facade.r only issued five hundred invitations in total."As they say, ordinary people who don't understand the value of a top-tier diamond like the Heart of the World should just stay out of it!"Things that a...
