"What the heck is that?" Jal her body got out of the window than Lory pointing to the sky.
Bei Li Yan and the others follow her direction and suddenly they expression becomes stern, Bei Li Yan yells at Mong Liu and Mong Tan "Increase the speed, Hurry!" then he pulls Lory back inside the carriage swiftly.
"Who is that?" Lory got worried when she notices Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo's anxious face.
Wu San Bo sigh "Sacred Mountain peak"
Lory than realizes they might come because of Zhao Li Xin, her heart begins to races she's engulfed by anxiety events thought she knew how strong Zhao Li Xin is but the risk is still there and for them dare to against Hei Shen sect they must believe they have enough ability.
"Girsha make the Qi Lin as fast he can!" he shout at Girsha using common language, she knew the lazy bird understand.
Girsha chirping a little then suddenly the Qi Lin growl and he speed up his pace this sudden move surprised everyone on the carriage Lu Jiang Yi hold Shin Jiu before he falls off the carriage and Bei Li Yan holds Lory's shoulder to keep her stable.
"HOLD ON!" Wu San Bo warned them with surprised looks. Who needs the 'Blessed Child' when they have this bird to control the sacred Beast, could it be the 'Blessed Child' power is overrated

Meanwhile, inside the main hall, a certain Lord sits leisurely as if this his owned house no one dares reprimand his rude behavior perhaps no one care either, they feel like a lowly a peasant in front of the Emperor their not dare to make a sound. Zho Li Xin leans his cheeks on his fist while Lu Qian Gong struggles to maintain his dignity.
"Master Long Ming…" Lu Qian Gong finally break the silence "We didn't have to go this far" he said with a solemn voice.
Zhao Li Xin stare at Lu Qian Gong indifferently "Hundreds of people had died, I think we already have gone too far don't you think" he said with mockery.
Lu Qian Gong balled his fist, he can't refute Zhao Li Xin than he takes a deep breath to calm himself "So, what do you want?" he asked again.
"The same thing you wanted from me…..annihilation," he said calmly.
His words make everyone frightened, their face has lost their color they look at each other in panic but none of them dare to say anything, the last thing they want is hastened Long Ming decision. Lu Qian Gong looks calmed but his heart almost dropped when he heard Zhao Li Xin's words.
He clear his throat to calmed his nerved "Master Long, this is Lu Yao fault, it got nothing to do with us, we should not magnify the problem" Lu Wian Gong tries to reason with Zhao Li Xin.
Zhao Li Xin sigh than he straightens his back "Magnify the problem…" he sneers then he shifts his stare coldly to Lu Qian Gong "You still don't understand do you"
Zhao Li Xin's words bring chills to Lu Qian Gong, he didn't know what wrong with his words why this 'Demon Lord' glare at him as if he wants to cut him into pieces.
"What Lu Yao Killed is not just a woman….she killed my entire world" he hissed "You know how it feel when the only thing matter is taken away ….brutely, violently…..from you" His empty dark eyes make Lu Qian Gong terrified, he can't read Zhao Li Xin mind he doesn't know what can appease this 'Demon Lord' because he Can't see anything in his eyes, is like staring to depth of abyss it was dark and hollow.
"If you don't know, asked that granddaughter of you…who is she name again?" Zhao Li Xin tilted his head slightly.
"Lu Xi Xi Milord," Mong Yi remind him.
"Oh…is she still alive?" he asked casually as if he asked about the weather.
Lu Han Zhuo and Lu Qian Gong face turn ashen, Lu Xi Xi is maintained her life but her health is deteriorated and her cultivation is vanish, perhaps she can't even bear a child because her weak condition, for a woman like her who live in Lu clan she's nothing more than empty vase, beautiful and useless she had become a joke and object of ridiculed its also implicated Lu Han Zhuo reputation and this is what vexed him more.
Lu Qian Gong knew Zhao Li Xin mocked him, his face becomes red he never been humiliated like this he squeezed the arms rest chair into splinters than his Qi spread on the air and pressed everyone to the ground, it's funny because Lu Qian Gong only managed to intimidate his owned clan while Zhao Li Xin and the Mong's brothers is unperturbed.
Zhao Li Xin smirked "Emperor level huh, slightly above you isn't it" he casually said to Mong Ki.
"I'll work harder, milord!" Mong Ki feel remorse for his lack of power.
Mong ki words make Lu Qian Gong shocked and embarrassed, he would not guest the emperor cultivator would serve Zhao Li Xin and that man is not even thirty yet while Lu Qian Gong is in his late sixty, his talent is paled compare to Zhao Li Xin servants how could he is not embarrassed at the same time he is terrified if Zhao Li Xin servant is at Emperor level than what level Zhao Li Xin is?
Not just Lu Qian Gong who is scarred all the Lu's is engulfed by horror, is this the end of the Lu Clan? NO, this can't be!
Suddenly the main hall door slammed open than people with yellow and white robes enter the room, Lu Qian Gong and Lu Han Zhuo face beamed finally they have come, on the other Zhao Li Xin smirked "Looks like you're help has come" he mocked Lu Qian Gong incompetent than he wears his gold mask again.
Nan Yu Wei enters the room with a line of woman bodyguard behind her and more expert walk beside her, Nan Yu Wei pretty faces mesmerized every man in the room but their not dare stare at her for too long which would offend her but some young man can't help but take a few glances at her.
Not Long after Jin Hao, Jiang Jin Wei, Li Mo Zhen, Yang Xi Yin, and Ming Yue Yin also enter the room, Zhao Li Xin raised from his seat than Mong Yi nonchalantly turn the chair to the side and so the table than Zhao Li Xin casually take a seat again, after he feel he got a better view he takes the winecup and sip his wine in a relaxed manner, his odd behavior make everyone frowned but for people who knew Zhao Li Xin temperament they didn't feel anything weird.
Jin Hao and the others stand behind Zhao Li Xin, while Nan Yue Wei take the seat opposite Zhao Li Xin and her people stand behind them, she smile kindly at zhao Li Xin but he didn't give her a glance which is expected by her so she didn't care. Lu Qian gong step down from his chair he slightly bow at Nan Yu Wei.
"Holly Lady" he greet respectfully.
Nan Yu Wei ignore him her eyes fixed on Zhao Li Xin, her behavior make Lu Qian Gong awkward.
"Long Ming, you're real name is Zhao Li Xin isn't it?" she asked casually.
Zhao Li Xin didn't bother to answer he put the winecup back on the table.
Nan Yu Wei didn't care "Can I call you Li Xin than?" she asked with a teasing smile.
"No!" he replied without hesitation.
