The Ugly Man
Zhuowen's departure caused many people in the square to discuss. From Emperor Qing's attitude and Zhuowen's words, they faintly guessed that the truth was probably not as Huangfu Wudao had said.
There were even many people who revealed thoughtful expressions as they gradually realized that the truth from before was probably not simple.
However, since Emperor Qing had spoken, no one had any objections.
Although the final outcome of the battle between Zhuowen and Huangfu Wudao had not been decided, Zhuowen's brilliant performance was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
Originally, everyone thought that Huangfu Wudao would be able to deal with Zhuowen in a straightforward manner when he appeared in a domineering and merciless manner.
However, the final outcome was far beyond everyone's expectations. Not only was Zhuowen not dealt with by Huangfu Wudao, but Huangfu Wudao was put into a rather sorry state by Zhuowen instead.
Everyone knew that Zhuowen's true combat strength was actually not inferior to Huangfu Wudao, so many people were extremely looking forward to the battle between Zhuowen and Huangfu Wudao in three days.
They all knew that the battle in three days would absolutely be extremely exciting!
In the square, Huangfu Wudao returned to Emperor Qing's side with a gloomy expression and remained silent. He had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Zhuowen today, and he was practically gnashing his teeth. At the same time, he was shocked by Zhuowen's strength.
"Wudao, return to the throne room first!
Use these three days to recuperate properly. "Emperor Qing glanced indifferently at Huangfu Wudao.
"Yes!"
Huangfu Wudao cupped his hands and followed Emperor Qing into the throne room, and they quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Following Emperor Qing's departure, the others in the square naturally had no reason to stay and dispersed one after another.
Grand Haohai was also preparing to leave the square with Grand Lily, but he noticed that his daughter was actually standing blankly on the spot.
"Lily!
What are you thinking about? "Grand Haohai suddenly asked.
Grand Lily returned to her senses and sighed lightly. "Father, Zhuowen's growth is too fast!
Even Huangfu Wudao is unable to do anything to him now!
Was it wrong for us to suppress him back then? "
Hearing this, Grand Haohai was stunned, then he smiled and said, "Baihe, could it be that you regret it?
Do you regret breaking off the engagement? "
Grand Lily was stunned when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes flickered. She was originally a proud daughter of the Grand Clan and was a monstrous genius ranked in the top ten of the Azure Emperor Rankings. Back then, she thought highly of herself and naturally looked down on Zhuowen who came from a small clan.
The other half that she, Grand Lily, worshipped was naturally a powerful and peerless genius. Within the Qing Xuan Empire, only Huangfu Wudao could fulfill this condition.
It was just that Huangfu Wudao had been hiding in the Imperial Family all year round, so Grand Lily didn't have many opportunities to see Huangfu Wudao. However, she actually admired Huangfu Wudao's strength.
But now, not only had the disciple of a small clan that she had looked down on previously defeated her, even Huangfu Wudao, whom she worshipped, had been defeated. All of this caused her heart to become chaotic.
She did indeed have a trace of regret in her heart. If their Grand Clan hadn't been so ruthless back then, perhaps their relationship with Zhuowen wouldn't be so bad now, to the point where it would only end with one side dead.
However, Grand Haohai patted Grand Lily's shoulder with a wisp of wisdom in his eyes and said, "Baihe!
It has already happened, so there's no use regretting it!
This Zhuowen is a great threat, and he has a life and death enmity with our Grand Clan. So what we should do now isn't regret, but think of a way to kill Zhuowen. "
Grand Lily's beautiful eyes flickered when she heard this. She nodded and said, "I understand, but it's already very difficult to kill this Zhuowen now. Back then, you joined forces with the Cao and Feng Clans, but you still couldn't kill him. Now, this Zhuowen's strength isn't inferior to the First Prince, so it's too difficult to kill him."
Grand Lily was clearly aware of how strong Zhuowen was now. The cultivators of the Xuanzun Realm were nothing before Zhuowen. Perhaps only an expert at the Sovereign Stage or above would be effective.
"That's right!
If we rely on our Grand Clan now, it's indeed very difficult to kill this Zhuowen!
After all, this lad has Lü Hantian by his side constantly protecting him. However, have you forgotten that this lad is Zhuo Xiaotian's son!
The Blue Dragon Hall should be interested in him. "
At this point, the smile on Grand Haohai's face grew even wider.
"So what if he's Zhuo Xiaotian's son?
After all, father, you've already checked that this lad doesn't have a Dragon Soul, and without a Dragon Soul, he naturally won't attract the Blue Dragon Hall's interest. "
Grand Lily naturally knew that Zhuowen was Zhuo Xiaotian's son, and she was also very clear about Zhuo Xiaotian's past deeds.
However, Grand Haohai had already confirmed that Zhuowen only had a useless Armor Soul, and didn't have a Dragon Soul. Just based on the fact that Zhuowen was Zhuo Xiaotian's son, he probably wouldn't attract the Blue Dragon Hall's attention.
"Hehe!
I'm afraid I've made a mistake back then. After all, this lad's speed of improvement is too strange. It's extremely similar to Zhuo Xiaotian's back then, so I can't help but be suspicious now! "
At this point, Grand Haohai looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he continued to whisper to Grand Lily, "Come with father first. There's someone who can verify whether this Zhuowen has a Dragon Soul or not."
With that, Grand Haohai waved his sleeve and brought Grand Lily away from the plaza …
In the northeast corner of the Imperial City, there was a dilapidated temple. The surroundings of the temple were desolate, overgrown with weeds, and sparsely populated.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Two figures flew over and stopped outside the temple. It was Grand Haohai and Grand Lily.
Grand Lily's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt. She didn't understand why Grand Haohai brought her here.
Perhaps he noticed the doubt on Grand Lily's face, Grand Haohai smiled and explained, "Father said that I'll bring you to see someone. This person is the key to proving whether Zhuowen has a Armor Soul or not!"
With that, Grand Haohai brought Grand Lily into the temple. Passing through the messy courtyard, the two of them entered the main entrance of the temple.
Inside the main entrance was a narrow space. A stone statue with a blurry face was sitting on a high platform, facing the main entrance.
Entering the temple, Grand Lily furrowed her brows. This temple was too messy. Dust was piled up inside, cobwebs were everywhere, and there was even a strange smell in the air.
Not to mention Grand Lily, even a normal man's face wouldn't be any better if he entered this messy temple for the first time.
Grand Haohai didn't feel anything about this. Instead, he looked around and said loudly, "Come out!
I know you're in the temple. "
After waiting for a while, the temple was still silent. There was no reply. It was so quiet that it was terrifying!
"Didn't you want to deal with Zhuowen?
Didn't you want to kill Lü Hantian?
If you don't show yourself, you'll lose this opportunity forever. "
Grand Haohai wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he slowly spoke again. He had a good understanding of the people in the temple. He didn't believe that the person wouldn't come out.
Boom!
An explosive sound rang out, and the blurry stone statue exploded into countless pieces. From the stone statue, a figure with ragged clothes, a stooped figure, and a blurry face suddenly rushed out.
This person's face was extremely ugly. When Grand Lily saw this person's face for the first time, she couldn't help but jump in fright. Fortunately, her will was firm, and she quickly recovered her composure.
Moreover, this person's right hand was empty. He was actually a one-armed person. For some reason, he had lost an arm!
"What did you just say?
You can kill Lü Hantian and Zhuowen? "
As soon as this person came out, he hurriedly came in front of Grand Haohai and shouted with an excited expression. His entire body couldn't help but tremble.
Looking at the trembling figure in front of him, Grand Haohai frowned and said indifferently, "Lü Hantian is an Empyrean Realm powerhouse. It's a bit difficult to kill him, but it's much easier to kill Zhuowen."
Hearing this, the person slowly calmed down and frowned, "Lü Hantian can't be killed?"
"How can an Empyrean Realm powerhouse be so easy to kill?
After all, the Nascent Soul of an Empyrean Realm powerhouse is already very tough. Even if the body collapses, the Nascent Soul can leave the body and even survive for a long time. If luck is good, it can even rebuild the body! "
Speaking up to here, Grand Haohai coldly snorted. His target was only Zhuowen. As for Lü Hantian, it was simply impossible to kill him. Unless Emperor Qing personally took action, but that was basically impossible.
Hearing this, the person's expression relaxed. What Grand Haohai said was right. Lü Hantian was an existence at the peak of the Empyrean Realm. It was undoubtedly unrealistic to want to kill such a powerhouse.
Of course, if they could join forces with dozens of Empyrean Realm powerhouses, they might be able to take Lü Hantian's life.
But was that possible?
In the entire Qing Xuan Empire, there were probably no more than two digits of Empyrean Realm powerhouses. Where could they find dozens of Empyrean Realm powerhouses?
The ugly person also knew that it was unrealistic to want to kill Lü Hantian. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine if you can kill Zhuowen. Tell me, what do you want me to do to kill Zhuowen?"
"Didn't you say to me back then?
That Zhuowen once revealed the Dragon Soul?
If what you said is true, this Zhuowen will undoubtedly die.
Of course, if it's false, the one who will die is you. "Grand Haohai's eyes flickered as he said.
"Humph!
Don't worry, that Zhuowen definitely has the Dragon Soul. I saw it with my own eyes back then. It's absolutely not false! "The ugly person snorted coldly.
When these words came out, Grand Haohai couldn't help but be moved. She finally understood why Zhuowen's progress was so fast. Moreover, it was unbelievably fast.
It turned out that there was a legendary Dragon Soul in Zhuowen's body. Moreover, judging from Zhuowen's potential and talent, the Dragon Soul that he possessed was probably of a higher grade than that of Qing Yan.
"Hehe!
If it's true, that's the best. Follow us to a place first!
If what you said is true, you don't need to do anything. Someone will take care of Zhuowen. "Grand Haohai said indifferently.
"Where are we going?" The ugly person asked with some vigilance.
"The Imperial Capital's Azure Dragon Sub-Palace!"
