"Everyone present, if anyone still wants to spar, it's 1 trillion Divine Crystals per person, no exceptions!" Zhang nglong shouted loudly.
"Cough, cough, cough, I suddenly rembered I have sothing to do, I'll leave now."
"Hmm, I think I forgot to buy sothing."
"Let's go, let's go, let's have a look over there. It's my first ti in this Ninth Grade Empire, and I haven't really explored yet!"
Just now, many who were dissatisfied with Zhang nglong's ranking completely chickened out at this mont. Even a martial artist at the Sixth Grade Peak of Divine Breath wasn't a match for him, so why would the rest join in the fray?
Not to ntion whether they could win or not, even scraping together this 1 trillion Divine Crystals wouldn't be an easy task.
"Make way, make way!"
"Hong Yun Empire business, all idle people move away!"
At this mont, a large crowd suddenly gathered near the Heavenly Prides Ranking. This group was clad in armor, looking like a well-trained army. There were over a hundred of them, and nearly all had reached the Divine Cultivation Realm.
The leader of this group had an even more unfathomable aura, at least at the Ninth Grade Divine Cultivation Realm. They seed to co looking for trouble with soone.
"These are the Imperial Guards of the Royal Family of Hong Yun Empire. It's said their numbers are small but combat prowess is strong. To join, you must have at least Divine Cultivation level strength. Plus, there's an annual elimination and recruitnt system, so their strength only keeps increasing each year, never declining."
"The leader of the Imperial Guard was once an intern disciple of a superpower. Though he didn't officially beco an outer sect disciple, he's not comparable to most Heavenly Prides here. Reportedly, he was appreciated by a senior and learned so true skills of a superpower. Now, his realm has reached Half-step Dao Realm, making him the fourth strongest in Hong Yun Empire besides three Dao Realm experts."
"Could that person be the leader of the Imperial Guard? I just felt he was extraordinary, not a normal person after all."
"Half of these Imperial Guards protect the Royal Family's safety. Why would they co here?"
"Indeed, looks like they intend to cause trouble for soone. Who's provoked the Royal Family?"
This Imperial Guard troop arrived here and directly took out a portrait for comparison on site. Zhang nglong stood at the most conspicuous spot, and was instantly targeted by them.
At the mont they saw Zhang nglong, their eyes brightened, and the leader waved his hand, leading the Imperial Guards to encircle Zhang nglong imdiately.
"Brother Gu, what's going on?" Long Sen was sowhat baffled because he and Zhang nglong had almost co to Hong Yun Empire together. Up until now, they've been together. Although Zhang nglong caused quite a bit of trouble earlier, he hadn't had any major conflict with the Royal Family. Why was he now targeted?
"I don't know either," Zhang nglong shook his head, for he'd offended too many people. In the Skyless Realm, he'd virtually antagonized everyone. If so of these were from Hong Yun Empire's aristocratic class, it wouldn't be impossible. It seed like now they were back ho, their courage also increased.
"Are you Gu Tianle?" A person holding the portrait walked up to Zhang nglong.
"That's . What's the matter?"
"Co with us!" The leader of the Imperial Guard didn't say much, just directly wanted to take Zhang nglong away.
"Did I do sothing against Hong Yun Empire's laws?"
"Please co with us," he still gave no explanation.
"Oh, I rember now," Zhang nglong suddenly slapped his forehead. "Are you guys sent by that Hong Yang or soone from Mu sothing?"
Zhang nglong recalled encountering a pretentious guy at the bank in Skyless Realm, whom he taught a lesson.
Also at the Black Rock Auction, the one trying to act smart had his teleportation fee supercharged by Zhang nglong.
These two had intricate ties with Hong Yun Empire.
As for others, Zhang nglong couldn't think of any for now.
"It seems you rember us!"
Two young n stepped out from behind the Imperial Guard. They were the two whom Zhang nglong had taught lessons before.
Hong Yang's grandfather and the Grand Emperor of Hong Yun Empire were brothers, while the Mu Family was one of the four major families in Hong Yun Empire, quite weighty despite not being on par with the Royal Family.
Hong Yang was one thing; at most, he spent 100 billion Divine Crystals. But the youth from the Mu Family had a tough ti. He stayed 14 days in the Skyless Realm, and nearly faced attacks twice daily. The assassins Zhang nglong hired from Dark Hands were almost like shadows.
During als, sleep, even in the restroom, he faced possible attacks. Most crucially, these people had the ability to kill but only chose to injure.
These 14 days were the most terrifying of his life.
Though he safely arrived at Hong Yun Empire with countless wounds, his mind suffered deep psychological damage. Even in dreams, he felt surrounded by assassins ready to kill him.
By chance, the two had a chat, and sharing a common enemy forged them into an unbreakable alliance.
Zhang nglong's reliance was only that mysterious scroll. In Hong Yun Empire, true Dao Realm experts were several. If Zhang nglong summoned a Dao Realm puppet, Hong Yun Empire's elders would not sit idly.
By then, whether they acted or not, those elders wouldn't, they certainly would.
And if he didn't summon those puppets, they had confidence to play Zhang nglong to death!
Relying on Hong Yang's relations and the Mu Family's ans, they really managed to enlist Hong Yun Empire's Imperial Guards, even the Legion Commander, that very Half-step Dao Realm expert ca personally to reclaim their honor.
"Gu Tianle, I know you have a powerful scroll," Hong Yang said, "but there's an unwritten rule: in any country, martial artists above Divine Cultivation Realm are forbidden to act. If you summon that puppet, Hong Yun Empire's Dao Realm experts won't turn a blind eye."
"What? You intend to kill ?" Zhang nglong smiled, "If you dare lay a finger on , the superpower folks won't spare you."
"Hahaha, I know that of course," Hong Yang laughed, "but killing isn't the point. I have a thousand ways to make you suffer worse than death."
"Sigh," Zhang nglong shook his head, "Really lacking in scope, all over a re 100 billion Divine Crystals you create such a scene, aren't you being childish?"
"This isn't about money," Hong Yang gritted, "my face as Hong Yang is far more valuable than this money!"
"Hong Yang, why talk so much with him?" The youth from Mu Family interrupted Hong Yang.
"Gu Tianle, as I've said before," Mu Family youth spoke, "you'd better have killed , otherwise once you ca to Hong Yun Empire, I'd surely show you true cruelty. Do you know how I survived those dozen days?!"
"Wait, who are you?" Zhang nglong muttered, "First today, peed on my hand and it's annoying enough, now psychos co one after another."
The youth's face instantly beca gloomier. Tornted like that, now finally standing victoriously before his enemy, yet the other couldn't even rember his na—this was utter mind-killing!
"Rember well, my na's Mu Xiang, part of one of Hong Yun Empire's four major families Mu..."
"Alright, alright," Zhang nglong quickly interrupted him, "I'm not interested in your na or background, but you think you can take with those few people? You guys have bubbles for brains?"
