Lu Bong is together with Meng Zuo, Lu s.h.i.+, and a few other men from both Meng and Lu Clan.

"I want to speak with your tier 3 Alchemist, Mu Ye!" Meng Zuo's voice sounded.

"Tell him that I, Meng Zuo of the Meng Clan from the Royal Capital is looking for him."

Hearing his name, a lot of the apprentices outside were shaking, even the applicants that wanted to join the Alchemy a.s.sociation halts their track.

'A person from the Royal Kingdom! Meng Clan!'

Although Gangting City is under the rule of the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, and Northern Star sect, there is a hierarchy to follow.

The four major Sects together with the Royal Kingdom stands above them, and under these five are Region Lords, there are four of them, which is also the representative of each of the Four major sects, and under these four region lords are the Cities.

There are a total of 88 Cities in the territory of the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, and 34 of them are the territories of these major sects, the 54 Cities are then left are serving under the Royal Kingdom itself.

The benefits of these are of course big, The Cities, all 88 of them are sending the tax to the Royal Kingdom annually, then, the ones under the territory of the sect will be able to trade treasures with the Sect, not including the a.s.sociations settling under the City's territory.

Now, a person from the Meng Clan, a Clan inside the Royal Kingdom had come to their small City. One can already imagine the amount of pressure that the normal folks from the Gangting City are feeling.

Just at this moment, Mu Ye went out with another old man behind him.

"What's the ruckus about!?" Mu Ye shouted.

"Hmmmp!" Meng Zuo immediately snorted and added.

"A mere Tier 3 Alchemist dare to antagonize the Clan where my Sister is residing, I hope that you reconsider your decision." Meng Zuo's domineering att.i.tude showed immediately.

"And also, do yourselves a favor, and bring the one that offended my nephew here now. I will forget the incident that happened today." Meng Zuo's eyes gleamed in confidence as he looked at Mu Ye like an ant. "Even you brutally thras.h.i.+ng my nephew."

Hearing this, Mu Ye couldn't help but frown; "May I know who you are?"

As he asked, Mu Ye turned his attention to the people behind him, and as soon as his gaze landed on Lu Bong and Lu s.h.i.+, he couldn't help but feel enraged.

Seeing Mu Ye's expression, Meng Zuo couldn't help but chuckles and replied: "I'm Meng Zuo, from the Meng Clan in the Royal Capital."

Hearing this, Mu Ye now know the situation, it was rumored before that the Lu Clan has some ties with a certain clan inside the Kingdom, and now, this Meng Zuo actually confirmed the rumor itself.

"Hmmp! It is your nephew that is too arrogance, brandis.h.i.+ng his sword at the precious guest of my Alchemy a.s.sociation, how dare you command us to hand over the victim?" Mu Ye's reply is solid, not even backing down.

So long as the other party has no background other than being a Clan member of the Meng Clan, he can still stand it, unless it is a Young Master, a direct descendant, elder, or the patriarch himself that is in front of him, he could only do nothing but bow down.

"Oh, then are you sure that you would stick to your words and fight with me? A person from the Meng Clan?" Meng Zuo's face carried a mocking expression, belittling Mu Ye with every word that comes out of his mouth.

"Can you carry the guilt, when the Alchemy a.s.sociation in this City-"

Meng Zuo was about to carry out his final pus.h.i.+ng words, forcing Mu Ye to the corner, but before he could, a cough was heard.

"Ahem." The old man beside Mu YE advanced as he continued: "Did I hear it correctly? Someone is threatening my Alchemy a.s.sociation?"

Meng Zuo's mood soured a bit, he immediately replied; "What of i..." But as soon as his gaze landed on the old man, he stopped.

"Grandmaster Zhu!" Meng Zuo immediately kneeled.

The people from the Meng Clan that had gone with him also kneeled, the Lu Clan family members were shocked, before they were pulled down by Meng Zuo to kneel.

"Oh, you know of me? But I have not heard of the domineering name of Meng Zuo, where does the Meng Clan's residence? Is there even a Meng Clan in the Royal Capital?" Grandmaster Zhu's words echoed to the ears of each member of the Meng Clan.

And instead of anger, they are feeling despair, beads of sweat started to appear everywhere in their body, they didn't even dare look at Grandmaster Zhu's eyes.

Meng Zuo immediately replied: "No, we dare not to Grandmaster Zhu, we dare not!"

"It seemed to me that the Meng Clan had been growing increasingly bolder by the day, wouldn't you say so?" Grandmaster Zhu stroked his beard as he walks closer to them.

"Even daring to antagonize the branch of 'Our' Alchemy a.s.sociation."

Hearing this, Meng Zuo trembled; "We deeply apologize, Grandmaster Zhu!"

"Hmmp! It is your fortune that I am in a good mood today, all of you may go." Grandmaster Zhu spoke as he entered with Mu Ye again.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Zhu." Meng Zuo spoke trembling on the spot, only standing up when Grandmaster Zhu and Mu Ye vanished from the location.

"Let's go, there's nothing left for us here!" Meng Zuo glared at Lu Bong, if he didn't follow Lu Bong here, he wouldn't be embarra.s.sed in a place as small as this.

Lu Bong frowned as he thought; 'Who told you to act rashly, you even warned us not to, yet you are the one that did so in the end, yet, you are blaming me for that.'

"Let's go, we don't need to stay here further, we will only embarra.s.s ourselves!" Meng Zuo led his man away, returning to the Lu Clan's residence.

Lu Bong and Lu s.h.i.+ followed with their men after, their defeated backs can be seen with their shoulders slumped.

...

Back to the present.

"YOUUU!!" Meng Zuo's rage fluttered, his hands shaking in anger.

Feeling his Spiritual Energy wrapping around them, Shang Ting s.h.i.+vered as she looked back.

Meng Zuo's eyes descended to Shang Ting, and as soon as he saw her face, his body trembled, his hand shook as the anger in his eyes were immediately replaced with a light full of malicious intent.

Meng Zuo's hands moved in a weird way as he approached closer and closer, his lips couldn't help but salivate, but remembering the two beside Shang Ting, killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Aiqing.

"The seed of evil had already born fruit, but as soon as I purge the fruit, I can purify you." Meng Zuo looked at Shang Ting as he said those words.

He directed his gaze as he looked at Aiqing, pointing his finger and spoke: "Kid, blame your Father for bringing you to this World with his useless talent!"

But as soon as he closes in on Aiqing, only three meters away from her, Meng Zuo suddenly halts his steps.

A terrifying feeling surged within his whole body, it feels like someone, or something is glaring at him, this gaze has a certain feeling; 'If you take a single step more, you will die.'. Never in his whole life had he felt something like that.

Meng Zuo's eyes slowly looked at Mo Xie, with a forehead and back covered in sweat, he trembled.

"It is that finger that point at my beloved Daughter, right?" Mo Xie's words caused Meng Zuo to shake, hiding his left hand subconsciously, stumbling to the ground as he started to walk back.

Mo Xie started to walk towards Meng Zuo, a sword suddenly appeared in his eyes as he glared down at him, his killing intent, filled with the lives of millions, even billions of lives that he had taken surged forth.

Wrapping not only Meng Zuo, but even the Lu and Meng Clan's men were also in it all together.

With every step Mo Xie stook, their heart would stop subconsciously.

An experience more frightening than death itself, their mind started to play tricks, they can see Mo Xie's figure gradually increasing, turning into a dark being as its red fiery eyes glared at them.

"Next time, be sure to pick carefully of who you are messing with." Mo Xie's words descended.

_Swis.h.!.+_ A fast and swift slash was seen as Mo Xie's hand slashed from above.

"GHAAAAAAAA!!!"
