Capítulo 1183: Chapter 461: Honored Guest Arrives (Part 3)
“Something’s not right…”
The thought had just crossed his mind when there was a loud bang.
The entire door burst apart, a fierce surge of Inner Strength suddenly arriving.
Zhou Mao was flung backwards, directly from the doorway to the steps in front of the main hall.
In his ears came the sound of clattering noises.
It was the sounds of the door fragments striking the surrounding area.
When he landed, he dared not stay in place, swiftly dodging and reaching out to grab.
At the same time, he reached into his coat, hearing a series of whizzing sounds.
Through the air came several Darts, glinting blue under the scorching sun.
Before the entrance, out of nowhere, stood a man as mighty as an iron tower.
Seeing the Darts, he did not bother to dodge, letting them hit his body.
Only the sound of clinking could be heard.
The Darts couldn’t leave even the slightest mark on him and fell to the ground.
The man casually dusted off the spot where the Darts struck, appearing as if he’d been bitten by a mosquito.
He gently shook his head:
“The people on this island are full of deceitful tricks, not worth mentioning.
“You possess some skill, but that’s all there is.”
As his words fell, he stepped forward, already at Zhou Mao’s front, reaching out to strike, intending to kill Zhou Mao on the spot.
Zhou Mao remained calm in the face of danger, merely letting out a soft call:
“Hold it!”
The man actually complied, stopping in his tracks at the word:
“More to say?”
“Who are you? Why do you attack so ruthlessly?”
“Is this your final words?”
The man coldly shook his head, his gaze not lingering on Zhou Mao at all.
Zhou Mao, however, smiled:
“If you don’t say, I already know…
“You came here for Lady, didn’t you?”
“Hmm?”
The man glanced at Zhou Mao, nodding slightly:
“Seems you’re not quite like the others on this island.
“Since you know why I came, lead the way?”
“Alright.”
Zhou Mao nodded without hesitation:
“Please follow me.”
The man raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Mao was so obedient it made him somewhat incredulous.
But, with his high skills and bold heart, he didn’t mind if Zhou Mao had other tricks up his sleeve.
He followed along, curious about Zhou Mao’s intentions.
The two stepped out from the courtyard.
Only then did Zhou Mao see the inner courtyard was strewn with corpses.
Several figures patrolled the roof of the residence, seeking survivors.
His heart cursed them silently.
These people came silently to the island, immediately beginning a massacre.
Indeed, they were cruel!
Yet his face only revealed the right amount of fear, nothing more.
The man coldly chuckled upon seeing this.
He trailed Zhou Mao deeper into the courtyard.
The further they went, the heavier Zhou Mao’s heart felt, stopping before the inner courtyard’s main hall, his face breaking into a wide grin:
“Brave hero, would you care to enter and have some tea first?
“I’ll go fetch Lady to meet you.”
“What did you say?”
The man shot a cold glance at Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao replied with a smile:
“Master said, for some time now, esteemed guests would visit seeking Lady.
“After guests arrive, misunderstandings and conflicts may arise.
“But it’s nothing serious…
“Most people on this island deserve their fate.
“Esteemed guests, if you wish to kill, feel free to do so.
“We won’t stand in your way.
“However, if their lives are spared, surviving by chance…
“Then, esteemed guests should come inside the inner courtyard’s main hall for tea.
“Shortly, Master will bring Lady out to meet you all.”
“Elder Du…”
The man muttered, then burst into laughter, his voice booming like thunder, shaking all directions.
Zhou Mao’s face turned pale, stepping back two paces.
He felt the world sway slightly with the man’s laughter, tightening in his heart.
Uncertain if this step was right or wrong.
He simply lowered his head fiercely, not letting a hint of expression slip.
“In broad daylight, like ghosts screaming.
Zhang Fang, laugh a bit, you’ve scared the neighbor’s hens so they won’t lay eggs.”
A voice approached from afar, soon arriving.
Once he stood still, it was a lanky Swordsman, like a pole.
Casually holding a sword, he glanced at Zhou Mao:
“Who might you be?
“The Alliance Hierarch commands, all islanders, be eradicated without exception.”
“Zhang Fang, why spare him?”
“Just a pawn leading the way.”
Zhang Fang coldly smirked, suddenly looking up to see figures from all directions arriving.
Among this group, there were men and women, old and young.
Upon seeing Zhang Fang and the Swordsman, they all kneeled on one knee:
“Report to both Leaders.
“All seen in inner and outer courtyards killed, total 173.
“All buildings checked, no anomalies found.”
“Any sight of Elder Du?”
The Swordsman asked coldly.
“Report Leader Leng, no sight of Elder Du and Miss.”
At this, Zhang Fang glanced at Zhou Mao, suddenly smiling, and said to the Swordsman:
“Elder Du invites you and I for tea, do you dare enter?”
“I wondered why you laughed; hearing someone invite for tea, joy without bounds?”
The Swordsman shot a cold glance at Zhou Mao:
“Who knows what dangers lie within that hall?”
“To be honest.”
Zhou Mao cupped his hands and said, “In the hall, Master set up the Heaven and Earth Net.
“All esteemed guests entering will surely be ensnared by Master. Leaving alive is difficult… I advise, do not enter.”
“Good.”
Zhang Fang nodded: “Since so, we won’t enter, go and fetch your Master and Lady to meet us.
“We’re here to bring your Lady back; I imagine upon knowing we’ve arrived, she’d be… overjoyed.”
Zhou Mao promptly nodded: “Then you must wait a moment, I’ll go inside and report.”
After speaking, he bowed and prepared to enter.
Suddenly, laughter erupted from a distance.
Zhang Fang and the Swordsman’s expressions changed simultaneously.
Saw white-robed figures flying over, arriving in moments.
Zhang Fang and Swordsman exchanged a glance, one striking with fist, the other with sword.
Instantly, Punch Wind and Sword Qi soared to the sky.
The leading white-robed individual reached out with palms, layers of Ice Crystal appeared in the void.
Clashing against Sword Qi and Punch Wind, there was a muffled explosion, forceful energy spreading everywhere.
Scattered Punch Wind, Sword Qi, along with Ice Crystal, swept across in all directions.
For a moment, none present could stand their ground except Zhang Fang and Swordsman, all were pushed back by the gust.
Even Zhang Fang and Swordsman swayed.
But the white-robed figure in midair twisted with them, landing on the courtyard wall with a few others.
Leading figure smiled slightly:
“Zhang Mangfu, Bamboo Pole Sword, haven’t seen you for years, meeting and fighting, what’s the meaning?”
“… Xiao He?
“Why is the Dragon King Hall here?”
…
