Chapter 188: A Serious Situation
ally understood why Ling Hao said he had no military rank.The five great Dukes within the realm, indeed were not granted military ranks. Duke was their status!Thinking about the two of them before tow...Whew!
Mu Yatian let out a foul breath, his eyes flashing with a complex look.
Ling Hao, this question is really hard for him to answer!
He was able to reach the position of chief responsible person at the battlefront, besides his brilliant military achievements, more importantly, it was based on his noble and upright character.
Given his personality, if he were truly in Ling Hao's position now, knowing that there were still dirty dealings behind that incident, he absolutely wouldn't ignore it.
"Just now, Mu Shuai didn't ask me about my intentions" Ling Hao took a sip of tea and continued.
If I were to compromise myself for that position and turn a blind eye to the Shadow Gate case, then I can confidently tell you, I'm not interested!
"West King, today, this old man offers you tea instead of wine as a toast!" Mu Yitian stood up and looked at Ling Hao: "When the day comes that you conclude the Shadow Gate case, this old man will bring strong liquor to toast you three cups!"
After finishing his words, he held up his cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp!
"Xie Mu Shuai!" Ling Hao also rose to his feet, bowing respectfully, then raised his teacup in both hands and drank it down.
Three minutes later, Mu Yatian's figure appeared again in the courtyard square, and Ling Hao saw him off.
Just as they were about to reach the courtyard gate, Mu Yatian turned his head and looked at Ling Hao, saying in a deep voice.
“West King, the world is vast and clear, right and wrong are known to all hearts. Go ahead and do what you must!”
As long as I am still in power, I will ensure you receive justice!
After finishing his words, he strode toward the door.
"Thank you, Mu Shuai!" Ling Hao bowed slightly.
"Farewell, General Mu!" the young men from Yingmen shouted in unison.
"Big brother, can we depart now" After Mu Yaotian left, the Judge asked.
"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded and looked at Ye Ji: "Just a few of us should go, and let the brothers below stand by!"
"Got it!" Yujie nodded in response.
The Chu family's manor was located in the south of the capital city, built on a mountainside, covering an area of 100,000 square meters. It had beautiful scenery and was a feng shui treasure land.
One hour later, the extended off-road vehicle stopped at the gate of a pavilion. The top of the gate was carved with the two large characters "Chu Mansion," written in elegant and spirited script.
Below the archway is a fence, and behind the fence is a tree-lined avenue about a kilometer long, leading straight to Chu's mansion.
According to the regulations of the Chu Mansion, all visitors must disembark here and walk into the mansion.
"Who is visiting" Eight men in black stood at the entrance, their expressions tense, their breaths sharp, warrior-level!
It is obvious that the Chu Mansion knew that Ling Hao and his party were coming, so the gate guards had already been replaced.
"Police are here to apprehend a level SSS criminal, please cooperate!" Zhou Liang, the driver, got out of the car and responded loudly.
"That's preposterous!" one of the men in black responded in a low voice. "The Chu Estate has no wanted criminals. You have one minute to leave immediately, or we will hold you responsible for causing a disturbance!"
"Bold!" A chill emanated from Zhou Liang.
"The Shadow Gate has an order: Anyone who obstructs the Shadow Gate's investigations will be treated as a fellow party member!"
If you don't open the door, I'll cut it down!
"Hmph! Arrogant!" The man in black stared coldly at Zhou Liang: "You can try!"
"Good!" Zhou Liang's eyes sank, his figure flashed, and he swung his curved saber down at the man in black.
"To dare to be so arrogant at the Chu residence is truly ignorant of one's place, you shall die!" A low voice boomed from within the watchtower.
As he spoke, a blade of light slashed out from the guardhouse with the force of thunder.
"Over your head!"
The judge alighted his carriage and, with a sweep of his hand, unleashed a chilling ray of light.
Boom!
After the Judge's blade deflected the opponent's attack, it continued to shoot forward with incredible speed. Immediately after, the watchtower exploded like paper, scattering dust and debris everywhere.
Pffft!
A middle-aged man spat a mouthful of fresh blood, quickly staggering back seven or eight steps before he could stabilize himself. His face was ashen, and his breath was shallow.
"God of War Peak!" He looked at the Judge with astonishment.
"Well, what a frog at the bottom of the well!" The judge responded in a deep voice.
Boom!
At the same time, Zhou Liang's blade strike had already landed on the black-clad man.
The opponent was a warrior of the Great Accomplishment realm, while Zhou Liang, as the inspector of the Shadow Gate City, had already reached the Small Accomplishment realm of War God!
After the flash of the blade, the man had no chance to struggle. He fell headfirst, twitching several times before dying.
"Damn you, you bastard!" The other seven roared in unison, brandishing their swords and charging toward Zhou Liang.
"Anyone who intends to attack the high officials of Yingmen shall be executed!" Before Zhou Liang could respond, the judge spoke in a deep voice.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After several flashes of blade light, all seven people lay down, with a blood line across their throats. Their legs twitched once and then went still.
Phew!
The middle-aged man, seeing this scene, didn't hesitate at all and rushed into the avenue lined with trees.
"Want to run" The judge sneered, "The moment you attacked Zhou Liang, you were already dead!"
Whoosh!
As he spoke, the blade flashed once more, hurtling towards his opponent at incredible speed.
Ding!
Just as the blade was about to strike the other person, a cold light flashed from the right side of the road, shattering the judge's attack. The middle-aged man also took the opportunity to dash aside.
"Hmm" The judge's pupils contracted slightly. He could sense that the other party's skill was at least that of a half-step Martial Venerable.
"Within the Chu Residence's grand courtyard, one must not act recklessly. Considering you are from the Shadow Gate, I will overlook what just transpired. Please return now!" A low voice resonated in the air above the tree-lined avenue.
Otherwise, death!
As soon as the words left her lips, a hush fell once more over the entire avenue lined with trees.
"Big brother, how should we handle this" In the car, Zhu Hun turned to Ling Hao and asked.
"Get out of the car and see who this mysterious person is!" Ling Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light. After finishing his sentence, he pushed the door open and got out of the car, and everyone followed closely behind.
"Quite a sight, isn't it!" As the group pushed through the fence and entered the tree-lined avenue, Lu Yue spoke coldly.
Both sides of the road were filled with powerful auras. There were two War Lords and six late-stage War Gods!
"This is just an appetizer!" Ling Hao narrowed his eyes, gazing ahead. At the end of the road, five powerful figures were waiting for them.
"It shouldn't just be people from the Chu clan!" Canglang spoke in a deep voice.
"It's obvious!" Lu Yue nodded slightly.
"Let's go!" Ling Hao said lightly, continuing forward.
"I warned you, but you persisted. Don't blame us now!" The man's voice echoed again.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Before the words were even out of his mouth, six men in battle armor materialized from both sides of the road.
Next, each wrist flipped, several razor-sharp blades shot towards Ling Hao and the others, a piercing whistling sound echoed in the air, unstoppable like a broken bamboo.
"Arrogant!" Canglang growled, his voice low. He dashed forward with lightning speed, holding the Cold Moon curved saber in his hand.
Whew!
Han Yue, along with the other four and Yuan Hua, simultaneously dashed out. The curved blades in their hands drew several chilling arcs of light.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
At the scene, a piercing crashing sound arose instantly. Blades whirled everywhere, and cracks appeared on the large trees lining the road.erial palace gates and entered the magnificent, opulent palace complex. It finally stopped about 100 meters from the main hall.Then, led by the walrus, they entered the main hall.Inside the grand hall...
