Chapter 405: The Formidable Sun Qiang

"Is this the Lin Manor?"

In the past, as the foremost family of the Tianwu Kingdom, even late at night, the Lin Manor was bustling with people and guests coming and going.

But now, the empty courtyard was a mess, with no guards or servants left, deserted, giving the feeling of an abandoned estate.

It was completely different from what she remembered.

"Liu Cheng, I will kill you..."

Her beautiful eyes wide with rage, her jet-black hair stirring without wind, Crown Princess Lin Rong let out a roar that echoed through the courtyard.

Having received news that a man named Liu Cheng was making a move against the Lin family, seeing this scene, there was no need to think—it must be that bastard who had succeeded!

"Go find out where my father and brother are. If anything happens to them, I will make the entire Tianwu Kingdom pay!"

Clenching her silver teeth, Lin Rong's hatred overflowed, and murderous intent blazed in her eyes.

A mere first-grade small kingdom, trash-like existence, she had never cared about it before. How dare they lay a hand on the Lin family? They were simply seeking death!

That Liu Cheng, provoking the Lin family, must die!

The dignified Tianwu royal family, knowing full well, yet not stopping it—they too must be destroyed!

"Yes!" The two behind her dashed off.

The Eastern Palace Commander Liang Qingming, strength at the late-stage Supreme, and the beast tamer Zhou Jin who came with him, also reached the early-stage Supreme!

Two Supreme realm experts, extremely fast, soon flew back together.

"Your Highness, the Lin family head and the young master are over there!"

Hearing that her father and brother were not dead, Lin Rong breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over. Soon arriving at a great hall, she took one look and her eyes nearly split with rage.

They were indeed not dead, but they might as well be.

Their cultivation had been completely废ed, and there was hardly a single intact spot on their bodies. Even if saved, they would be utterly ruined.

The former was still conscious, the latter unconscious; if not for his breathing, one would think he had long been dead.

"Rong'er, avenge us!"

Seeing her approach, the still-conscious Lin Ruotian, as if seeing a savior, rushed over.

Back then, Lu Chong hadn't killed him, but had ordered Hall Master Liao to inflict at least seven or eight kinds of deadly poisons on him, causing him to suffer intense pain every day, a fate worse than death.

Moreover, with the Lin family broken, old enemies came one after another, tormenting and humiliating him, making him wish he could end his life on the spot!

If not for waiting for his daughter to avenge him, he would have surely given up long ago.

"What exactly happened?"

Hurrying forward, she fed him a healing and life-saving pill, then Lin Rong looked at him.

"It's... Liu Cheng! No, it's Zhang Xuan, a two-star master teacher! His student is that beast who escaped from the Qu family two years ago..."

After taking the pill, Lin Ruotian recovered somewhat, gritted his teeth, and recounted the matter.

Of course, he only spoke of how they were bullied, and said nothing about the cause, the annihilation of the Qu family.

"Zhang Xuan?"

Her teeth grinding audibly, Lin Rong narrowed her eyes: "Commander Liang, go to the Master Teacher Academy now and bring this Zhang Xuan to me. I will use his blood to tell everyone that offending the Lin family leads only to death!"

"Your Highness, please think twice. This Zhang Xuan is a two-star master teacher and a genius. I fear he may be under the protection of the Master Teacher Academy..."

Frowning, Liang Qingming did not immediately comply.

An early-stage two-star master teacher meant little to the Xuan Kingdom.

But he was still a member of the Master Teacher Academy. Openly killing him might provoke a backlash, which even the Xuan Kingdom would find hard to handle.

"He destroyed my family, harmed my parents and brother—a deep, bloody grudge. Even if the Master Teacher Academy comes, can they not listen to reason? Besides, Hall Master Luo of the Master Teacher Academy is a close friend of the Crown Prince. Once I explain the situation, he should not say much!"

Lin Rong's eyes were bloodshot.

Luo Qianhong, the hall master of the Xuan Kingdom's Master Teacher Academy, was a close friend of the Crown Prince. Killing a mere master teacher from a small kingdom—would Hall Master Luo fall out with the royal family over such a trivial matter?

"Yes!" Seeing her insistence, Liang Qingming, as a subordinate, could not refute and nodded. Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang out.

"Wait, I'll go with you. I want to see that bastard cut into pieces with my own eyes..."

Lin Ruotian's face was twisted with hatred.

"Alright, let's go together!"

Seeing her father's state, Lin Rong agreed.

They mounted the Lightning Golden Scale Beast and soared into the air.

"He's not at the Master Teacher Academy now, but in a mansion not far from here. I've inquired thoroughly—he went in yesterday and hasn't come out since!"

Lin Ruotian said.

Knowing his daughter would surely seek revenge, he had been sending people to gather information these past two days... This Zhang Xuan had not fled but was inside his own mansion.

Boom!

The Lightning Golden Scale Beast sped like lightning, and in moments, they were above the mansion.

"Commander Liang, I hope you can capture him. I want to torture him to death slowly..."

His face contorted and twisted, Lin Ruotian revealed a crazed expression.

Since leaving the Lin Manor, he had learned the strength of the middle-aged man before him.

Late-stage Supreme!

Such a person, with a single stomp, could cause the entire Tianwu Kingdom to collapse; no one could resist!

Even if the Tianwu royal family's guardian beast had broken through, it would only be at the early-stage Supreme—before such an expert, it could be crushed with a flick of the hand!

"Rest assured!"

Nodding, Liang Qingming flickered and landed on the huge head of the Lightning Golden Scale Beast. Coldly looking down at the courtyard below, his late-stage Supreme aura instantly enveloped the surroundings, and his icy, harsh voice rang out.

"Zhang Xuan, roll out here and die!"

Boom!

The voice resounded through the clouds, carrying the true energy of a Supreme expert, shaking the entire royal city.

"Roll out here and die?"

"Oh no, it's the Lin family's Crown Princess!"

"Indeed, this is bad. From the power of the voice, it's at least a Supreme expert. Can Master Zhang... withstand it?"

"Although he is not weak, he is far from a Supreme. Big trouble..."

...

As the voice sounded, countless people were alarmed, their faces turning pale.

The power behind the Lin family was no secret. Although there had been no movement these past few days, everyone knew it was just the calm before the storm.

Now, the unbridled voice and the huge beast hovering in the air all indicated that the other side...

Had come!

Had come for revenge!

"A... late-stage Supreme expert? If I'm not mistaken, it should be Liang Qingming, the guard commander of the Xuan Kingdom's Crown Prince's residence!"

Inside the royal palace, Mo Tianxue also heard the voice. Hurrying to the high tower, he saw the middle-aged man standing on the beast's head, his lips trembling.

As a subordinate kingdom, he knew much about the power distribution of the Xuan Kingdom. The one emitting such power and displaying such strength—without a doubt, it was that late-stage Supreme commander!

"Late-stage Supreme? Then... Master Zhang is in danger?"

Mo Yu's body trembled, her face full of anxiety.

Although Zhang Xuan had repeatedly worked miracles, the gap between late-stage Supreme and half-step Supreme was vast, like heaven and earth.

Lin Rong had actually brought such a person here—how could Master Zhang resist?

"What to do? I... have no way either! And I'm afraid our kingdom is finished..." Mo Tianxue's body shook.

The other party was a late-stage Supreme; what could he do?

Even if the guardian beast went, it would be no match.

They were simply no match.

"Xiao Yu, take this ring and flee immediately. With you alive, even if the kingdom is destroyed, there is still hope..." Gritting his teeth, Mo Tianxue took a storage ring from his hand and handed it over.

Mo Yu had high talent and was clever; she was the future hope of the Tianwu Kingdom. She could not fall here.

Otherwise, even in death, he would be ashamed before the ancestors.

"Father..."

Mo Yu's body trembled.

Though unwilling, she knew her father's decision was correct.

Lin Rong had once annihilated the entire Qu family over a trivial matter. Now that the Lin family was nearly destroyed, given her usual style, once she killed Master Zhang, she would certainly target the Tianwu royal family!

It was very possible that the entire royal family would be wiped out.

"Alright, go. Your father cannot leave... nor will he. If they truly make a move, I will perish with the kingdom!"

Mo Tianxue's gaze was firm.

His daughter could leave, but he could not.

As king for so many years, he was deeply marked by the Tianwu Kingdom and could no longer leave.

"Father..."

Knowing the inevitable outcome, Mo Yu's body trembled. She was about to say something more when an impatient voice rang out from the mansion.

"How insolent! Which fool is making such a racket here? If you don't want to live, and want to see the young master, kneel outside!"

"Ah?"

Mo Yu and Mo Tianxue were stunned.

Liang Qingming had made such a commotion that almost the entire Tianwu royal city knew. All those observing were also dumbfounded, nearly spitting blood.

That was a late-stage Supreme expert from the Xuan Kingdom, and someone was speaking like that...

Climbing to higher ground, they all looked at the speaker, expecting some formidable figure. When they saw him, they nearly blacked out.

It was that potbellied fat man from the mansion... Steward Sun.

These past few days, many had come into contact with him and knew that his strength was only at the peak of the Skin and Bone realm, not even reaching the Full Strength realm—extremely weak.

So weak... where did he get the guts and audacity?

Did he know how strong the one flying in the sky was? To dare speak like that?

Exchanging glances, Mo Yu and Mo Tianxue each trembled.

A late-stage Supreme expert—not just in the Tianwu Kingdom, but even in the Xuan Kingdom, he was considered a top expert. A mere steward, not even at the Full Strength realm, dared to be so arrogant...

Holy shit!

It was already hard to mediate, and now it was probably even worse.

No need to think—a massacre was about to begin.

"You..."

As everyone went mad, Liang Qingming nearly fell off the Lightning Golden Scale Beast.

His strength was renowned even in the Xuan Kingdom; he was considered a super big shot. He thought that with one loud shout, the small figures of this small kingdom would all tremble in fear and dare not speak. He never dreamed...

They didn't care at all and even told him to kneel outside and wait...

Damn it!

Was this guy thick-headed or brain-damaged?

"I'll count to three. Have Zhang Xuan come out and die, or I'll destroy this mansion, and everyone in it will be buried with him!"

His face twitching, barely restraining his anger, Liang Qingming's complexion turned iron-gray.
