A massive mushroom cloud surged into the sky, the powerful shockwave sweeping around.
When everything finally settled, the ground was directly blasted into a massive mark stretching dozens of yards.
"Don’t just stand there, hurry inside!" Zhang Xiaohao called out.
With a light step, he rushed towards the black palace.
As soon as they entered the black palace, a formidable demonic qi pressure, three times thicker than outside, suppressed them. Under this powerful demonic qi, ordinary martial artists could barely exert half, or even less than half, of their strength here.
But this had no effect on Zhang Xiaohao.
With the Shennong Battle Sky Technique, Zhang Xiaohao was unafraid of any attribute suppression.
"Hmph! Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
With a step, a vast fighting spirit erupted from within him, directly dispersing the oppressive demonic qi.
Brilliant golden light enveloped Murong Baiyun and the other seven.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Many thanks for your help, Brother Hao! We’re fine!" Murong Baiyun and the others replied.
"Hmm, everyone follow me closely, remember! Don’t fall behind! If you get separated, I might not be able to save you in time." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Alright." Murong Baiyun and the group nodded.
They immediately followed closely behind Zhang Xiaohao, stepping in with martial arts techniques.
Under Zhang Xiaohao’s lead, the group entered the inner hall.
The path was unobstructed, it seemed the demons in the black palace had all been eliminated by the Murong Family’s first and second branch.
At this moment, violent sounds of battle came from ahead.
It seemed the forces of the Murong Family’s first and second branches were just up ahead.
"Don’t act impulsively later, follow my orders!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Brother Hao, I’m afraid I can’t hold back!" Murong Baiyun said.
"Don’t worry, with me here, those two old dogs from the Murong Family can’t escape!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.
"Alright." Murong Baiyun nodded emphatically.
With that, Zhang Xiaohao led the seven of them towards the inner hall.
As soon as they entered, an elderly white-haired man from the second branch flew back swiftly under a demon soldier’s attack.
"Die!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
With a quick step, he charged forward.
His right fist, carrying a powerful gust of wind, smashed into the man’s head.
He directly smashed the white-haired elder into pieces. Even in death, the elder likely couldn’t believe he died such an ignoble death.
After dealing with the white-haired elder, Zhang Xiaohao looked coldly at the leaders of the first and second branches.
The leader of the first branch was Murong Longbo, Murong Yu Yan’s father, and the leader of the second branch was Murong Longchen, Murong Baiyun’s father.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao and his group enter, the two leaders looked at them with a seemingly mutual understanding.
"Hmm? Who are they? How did they get in?" A question appeared in both their minds.
Suddenly, the remaining dozen or so demon soldiers were also slain by their subordinates.
"Hmph! Listen up, I don’t care who you are or how you got here, you’d best stay put obediently, or I’ll send you to see King Yan immediately." Murong Longchen said domineeringly.
"A bunch of ants daring to covet my treasures, you’d better wise up, or I won’t mind leaving you a dog’s life! If you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll make sure you come here to never return!" Murong Longbo said coldly. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
As he finished speaking, his cold gaze especially lingered on Murong Longchen.
"Hmph! We’re going in!" Murong Longchen said coldly.
With that, he led his group as they rushed inside.
"Want to hog it all? Did you ask me, Long?" Murong Longbo sneered.
With a wave of his hand, he led his followers inside swiftly.
"Brother Hao, what do we do now?" Murong Baiyun asked.
"Are you stupid? We’re already here, should we let two old dogs scare us into leaving?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
In a flash, he turned into a streak of lightning and rushed inside.
"Let’s go!" Murong Baiyun said.
The group of seven followed again.
Zhang Xiaohao and the group stopped in an empty courtyard.
Murong Longchen and Murong Longbo’s people faced each other coldly, keeping a wary eye on each other.
The two of them, separated by a six-zhang wide golden lake, glared murderously at each other.
"My dear elder brother! Even if you were born before me, what of it? After so many years of cultivation, you’ve just amounted to nothing. In the end, to break through the bottleneck of the late-stage Void Transformation Realm, you stooped to such animalistic actions, using your own daughter! Alas, the Murong Family’s illustrious reputation, completely tarnished by you!" Murong Longchen sneered.
"Hmph! Don’t call me elder brother, it disgusts me! You, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, even dared to touch your sister-in-law! Truly heartless!" Murong Longbo said with a sullen face.
"My dear elder brother! Do you really think I didn’t know? On the night of my wedding, while I was in the front hall drinking and entertaining guests, you sneaked into the back courtyard to mess with my bride, didn’t you? All these years, I’ve kept it in mind! How does it feel to have someone else mess with your woman? Isn’t it thrilling? Hahaha... This past year, every night, with my sister-in-law’s beautiful figure serving me, life has been utterly explosive!" Murong Longchen said with a twisted face.
"Beast!" Murong Longbo cursed angrily.
"Beast? NO! NO! NO! Compared to you, I’m just a small fry! A while ago, my sister’s entire family was exterminated. If I’m not mistaken, that was your doing too, right? Slaughtering her entire family and capturing her as a furnace for cultivating evil arts. Compared to you, my bit of craft is nothing!" Murong Longchen said murderously.
"And what if it is? Serving me is her honor!" Murong Longbo sneered.
"Indeed! I think so too! Oh, you’ve always been curious why you’ve never had a son all these years, haven’t you? That was all your dear brother’s doing! Poisoning your food and drink, tsk tsk, how does it feel to have no sons?" Murong Longchen snickered wickedly.
"You damn beast!" Murong Longbo roared with rage.
"Don’t rush! I have another thing to tell you!" Murong Longchen said playfully.
"What is it, speak!" Murong Longbo demanded murderously.
"My dear elder brother! Actually, you have a bastard son!" Murong Longchen said with a sinister laugh.
