Chapter 369: Chapter 364 Taking Charge

"Climbing relatives? Do I, Yan Rufeng, need to climb relatives with you, Zhao Shuo? It’s truly laughable."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng’s heart let out a cold laugh: "Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo, from what a guard of your Zhao family said, it’s not hard to tell that you’ve been quite arrogant all these years..."

"Sigh..."

Then, Yan Rufeng shook his head and let out a long sigh in his heart.

"It seems that Zhao Shuo long ago threw his former lofty ambitions away to the clouds..."

"Boy, what are you thinking, if you don’t get lost now, be careful I won’t be polite."

"Swish～" At that moment, the guard drew the long sword from his waist.

The light of the sword flashed. Looking at the guard with his eyebrows furrowed and eyes wide, Yan Rufeng said indifferently: "This little brother, don’t get angry. When your master arrives later, it will be difficult to clean up the mess."

"Heh heh."

Another guard said coldly: "Boy, I’ve tolerated you long enough. If it weren’t for being at the gate of the City Lord Mansion today, I would have taught you a lesson. Before I change my mind, disappear from my sight immediately."

"Presumptuous!"

"Damn it, I, Divine Sword, can’t stand it anymore. In front of my master’s baby, one ’I’ after another. Are you planning to make my baby call you something?"

"Zheng～"

With a sound of sword hum, a green light burst out from behind Yan Rufeng.

"Whiz～"

The Creation Divine Sword drew an arc in the air. In an instant, a green light flashed in front of the two guards. The green light dissipated, leaving the two guards standing there in disbelief, eyes wide open.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Xiao Jian, your hand was a little heavy."

"Heh heh!"

The Creation Divine Sword said proudly: "Master, my baby just severed their extraordinary meridians and abolished their cultivation. Not killing them is already lenient."

The Creation Divine Sword immediately added: "Master, to deal with people like them, you have to use such thunderous means. Master, you won’t punish me for this, will you?"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said: "Punish you? Not necessarily. If I had taken action earlier, they would have lost their lives. Just come back. In the future, without my permission, don’t take it upon yourself to attack others."

"Xiao Jian obeys."

"Whiz～" With a swish, the Creation Divine Sword returned to hover obediently behind Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng walked slowly to the two guards, whose cultivation had been abolished, and said softly: "Two little brothers, now can you go report to Patriarch Zhao, Zhao Shuo?"

Although Yan Rufeng was not angry, the two guards were indeed terrified; with their cultivation abolished, they were like ants in front of Yan Rufeng, fearing that he would kill them if displeased.

Their previous arrogance vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.

One guard, whose cultivation had been abolished, bowed and cupped his hands: "Immortal Master, I offended you earlier. I ask for your forgiveness. I will go report to the Family Head now. Immortal Master, please wait a moment."

Yan Rufeng stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Although you two were disrespectful to me, it’s not a crime worthy of death. Now, go report to your Family Head."

"Immortal Master, we... we obey..."

Though their cultivation was abolished, the two guards were as fast as mortals, running quickly to the inner courtyard of the City Lord Mansion and disappearing in a flash in front of Yan Rufeng.

The main hall of the City Lord Mansion, glittering with gold under the sunlight, looked incredibly grand.

Inside the magnificently decorated hall, Zhao Shuo sat imposingly on a dragon chair, looking down on everything with disdain. However, from his expression, it was not hard to tell that he was not very pleased.

"It’s not that I’m blaming you. How many days have passed since I ordered you to find someone? Three teams have gone, and none have returned. What use do I have for you good-for-nothing idlers?"

Zhao Shuo almost shouted the last sentence.

An elderly man in white stepped forward and bowed: "Clan Leader, there is indeed something strange about this. Think of it: our clan members sent to investigate Dragon Origin Star disappeared without a trace. The ones sent to search for them also never returned. What does this indicate?"

Zhao Shuo hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "Uncle, are you suggesting that they all fell on Dragon Origin Star?"

The elderly man in white nodded.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhao Shuo immediately denied it.

The elderly man in white continued: "If they didn’t die, why haven’t we seen them all this time?"

From the crowd, someone argued: "In the Mortal Domain, who among those cultivators could kill them?"

Stroking his beard, the elderly man in white said disdainfully: "That may not be the case. Dragon Origin Star has always been mysterious. Most of you here ascended from Dragon Origin Star. You should know how terrifying some places there can be, comparable to some areas in Qiming Star of the Immortal World."

Someone, disagreeing, immediately retorted: "But they have already become Immortals. Even if they went to the forbidden lands of Dragon Origin Star, they shouldn’t perish there."

"Heh heh!"

The elderly man in white said coldly: "Anyone who doesn’t believe can go to the forbidden lands of Dragon Origin Star and see for themselves."

With that, the hall fell silent. They knew that before ascension, no one dared venture into the forbidden lands of Dragon Origin Star.

Moreover, they went to Dragon Origin Star for inspection because of the chaos Yan Rufeng caused when supporting Xiao Fei to become King, massacring their clan members in the Mortal Domain.

And the Zhao family sent one batch after another to investigate Dragon Origin Star, without any return. Except for those killed by Yan Rufeng, the others likely fell outside the Dragon Origin Star Domain at the protective formation Yan Rufeng set up there...

The grand hall was silent. Zhao Shuo, sitting on the dragon chair, gently massaged his temples. After a long pause, he finally said: "Stop speculating. I have decided to visit the Mortal Domain personally. You are all dismissed."

"Yes, sir..."

Just then, the two guards whose cultivation had been abolished by Yan Rufeng ran to the hall door, gasping for breath. Before they arrived, their loud shouts reached inside.

"City Lord, City Lord, something terrible has happened. Someone is attacking our City Lord Mansion..."

Zhao Shuo, already fuming, heard the guards’ shouts and immediately became furious, shouting: "Who has the audacity to attack my City Lord Mansion?"

One guard ran into the hall, knelt before Zhao Shuo, and stammered: "Re... report to Lord City Lord, a lad who just ascended is now causing a ruckus at the gate?"

Zhao Shuo’s anger flared, and he roared: "A mere ant who just ascended dares to storm my City Lord Mansion? Didn’t you detain him?"

Another guard quickly replied: "Re... report to Lord City Lord, that lad is skilled with a Flying Sword. Not only were we unable to fend him off, but our millennium cultivation has also been completely abolished by that lad. Please, Lord City Lord, seek justice for us brothers."
