"What?"
Before the words fell, Zhao Kuangyin and the others were taken aback, exchanging glances and seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
"What?" Li Dian's expression suddenly darkened. Without any visible movement, Zhao Kuangyin and the others felt a tremendous pressure enveloping them, as if a great mountain had been placed upon them. Their faces changed dramatically, revealing looks of shock, and they hurriedly said, "Lord Wang is currently in seclusion, so please wait a moment."
"In seclusion?" A hint of intrigue flashed in Li Dian's eyes as he said, "Then I will wait."
"No need." At that moment, a calm voice came through.
In the next instant, a figure dressed in white appeared before everyone—it was Wang Yi.
"Husband."
"Young Master."
Zhao Ruixue, Zhao Ling, Lian Bi, and others rushed forward.
"I, Black Feather Army Tenth Commander Li Dian, pay my respects to Young Master Wang," Li Dian said respectfully.
"Paying respects to Young Master Wang."
Fifty members of the Black Feather Army bowed in unison, their presence formidable.
"Everyone, please rise," Wang Yi said with an indifferent expression, waving his hand. However, he was taken aback; Li Dian was actually a late-stage expert of Gaze of the Abyss, and the other fifty members of the Black Feather Guard were also extraordinary—each one was a Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Expert. This kind of luxurious lineup was enough to dominate the entire Eastern Lin; the Six Great True Spirit Families were indeed powerful.
Moreover, from what he heard, the Wang Family had a Black Feather Army, and Li Dian was merely one among them.
"Thank you, Young Master." After respectfully acknowledging him, Li Dian continued, "Young Master, the family head has ordered me to come and escort you back to the Wang Family for your Bloodline awakening."
"Dear husband." Zhao Ruixue and Zhao Ling's expressions changed slightly as they approached gracefully.
"Please give me three hours, and I will set off afterward. What do you think?" Wang Yi waved his hand, speaking calmly.
"I am willing to listen to the young master's instructions." Li Dian paused for a moment before bowing.
"Zhao Huang, please arrange for Li Tongling and the others to stay." Wang Yi said.
"Li Tongling and everyone, please." Zhao Kuangyin gestured for the guards to step back and approached.
Then, under Chen Gonggong's arrangements, Li Dian and the others withdrew.
Imperial Study.
Zhao Kuangyin sat at the head.
Lian Bi and Brother A stood respectfully behind Wang Yi.
Zhao Ruixue and Zhao Ling sat on either side of Wang Yi.
"Husband, when will you return from this trip?" Zhao Lingyu asked, holding Wang Yi's large hand with a reluctant expression.
Zhao Ruixue sat gracefully, her beauty captivating, but her expression also revealed her deep reluctance toward Wang Yi.
"I am going to awaken my family's Bloodline. Once it's done, I will come to find you." Wang Yi said affectionately as he looked at the two women. Then he turned to Lian Bi and the others, saying, "Lian Bi, A-Da, I am Er., you three stay here to protect the two ladies."
"Understood."
Lian Bi responded in unison.
“Wang Yi, the journey to Zhongzhou is long, and there are many dangers along the way,” Zhao Kuangyin said.
“I feel that the time for the demon clan's arrival is getting closer. You all need to work hard on your cultivation and not be slack. When I return to Wang Family, you can accompany me then,” Wang Yi said seriously.
“Yes.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Three days later.
“Dear husband, take care,” Zhao Ruixue and Zhao Ling said with reluctant expressions, tightly hugging Wang Yi.
“You too,” Wang Yi kissed both women's foreheads, then walked out and said to Li Dian: “Li Tongling, let's set off.”
“Please, young master,” Li Dian bowed.
Wang Yi nodded and leaped onto the back of a Black Feather Eagle.
“Let’s go.”
With a command from Li Dian, ten Black Feather Eagles took off, rising like dark clouds into the sky, disappearing from the sight of Zhao Ruixue and the others in an instant.
In the void.
“Li Tongling, how did you know I was here?” Wang Yi asked calmly.
"The Elder used the Fate Revelation Technique to determine the whereabouts of the Young Master. Previously, Nian Ruyu, the daughter of the master of Dan Valley, came to the family and informed us of your location," Li Dian said after a moment of contemplation.
"Fate Revelation Technique? What kind of secret technique is that?" Wang Yi asked in surprise, not expecting such a divine art to exist in this world; it was simply unimaginable.
"I am not sure about the specifics, but I understand that this technique can locate others, which is how I was able to find you, Young Master," Li Dian replied respectfully.
"What is Dan Valley?" Wang Yi asked with confusion. From Ji Hong and the others' attitudes towards Nian Wei, it was clear that her background was quite powerful, coming from Zhongzhou's Dan Valley. This indicated that Dan Valley must be a superpower within Zhongzhou.
"Taking this opportunity, I will introduce some of Zhongzhou's powers to you, Young Master," Li Dian said respectfully. "In Zhongzhou, there are eight major forces, among which are our Six Great True Spirit Families, and the other two are Dan Valley and Hunting Temple."
"Hunting Temple?" Wang Yi exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Meng Hang to be colluding with Hunting Temple.
"Young Master, Hunting Temple is one of the most secretive among the six major forces in Zhongzhou. Few have seen their presence, but their strength is unquestionable. Thirty years ago, a sect called Martial Sect offended Hunting Temple for some reason and was destroyed in a single day. It should be noted that although Martial Sect was not as powerful as my Wang Family, its leader possessed Late Stage of Insight strength and was well-known in Zhongzhou, yet he was killed with a single strike," Li Dian recalled with a hint of shock in his voice. "Since then, no one has dared to provoke Hunting Temple lightly."
"So if you encounter anyone from Hunting Temple in the future, do your best not to provoke them," Li Dian advised seriously.
"Rest assured, Li Tongling. As long as Hunting Temple does not take the initiative to provoke me, I will not seek trouble," Wang Yi replied. However, he couldn't help but smile bitterly; he had not only provoked them but had also killed one of their members. If Ling Yao were to come to Zhongzhou, he would likely face Hunting Temple's pursuit.
"In addition to these forces, there are others that may not compare to the six major powers but still have considerable renown in Zhongzhou, such as City of Demons, Fire Domain, and Sword Sect..." Li Dian nodded and continued. "Evil City is known as the most vicious place in Zhongzhou; those who dwell there are ruthless and dare to commit any crime, much like the Killing Fields in Eastern Lin."
"Fire Domain is quite unique in Zhongzhou; it is rich in Fire Elemental Power where many fire attribute martial artists gather. The Domain Master, Azure Spring, is one of Zhongzhou's Top Ten Powerhouses with unfathomable strength."
"As for Sword Sect, it is a sect focused on sword cultivation and dominates Zhongzhou with its sword techniques. It is said that every disciple of this sect is born a sword cultivator and lives for the sword; they are all resolute individuals. Their signature sword technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, is one of Zhongzhou's few ninth-grade martial arts with immense power," Li Dian explained.
"Thank you, Li Tongling," Wang Yi nodded and cupped his hands in gratitude.
"You are too polite, Young Master. Even if I did not tell you these things, you would learn them sooner or later," Li Dian said hurriedly as he noticed Wang Yi's sincerity.
Silence reigned until the seventh hour.
"Young Master, beyond that Snow Peak is Zhongzhou," Li Dian pointed ahead at a towering snow-capped mountain, his expression slightly pleased.
"Zhongzhou, I, Wang Yi, have arrived," Wang Yi tightened his fists and murmured to himself.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a purple light flashed accompanied by the sound of wind, shooting up from below Snow Peak.
"Enemy attack!"
Li Dian's expression darkened instantly as he shouted. The remaining nine Black Feather Eagles surrounded Wang Yi protectively.
"Who is it? Show yourself!" Li Dian's gaze was sharp as he coldly demanded.
"Release!"
At the moment his voice fell, a chilling voice echoed from the void.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the next instant, a rain of arrows swept across the ground like a swarm of locusts, dense and rapid, each arrow glowing with a greenish light, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.
"Wind Thunder Arrow." Li Dian's face changed dramatically. It was known that Wind Thunder Arrows were crafted using Wind Thunder Power and could swiftly kill a peak Transformation Realm warrior.
"Protect the Young Master." Forty-nine peak Transformation Realm experts soared into the air.
Li Dian and Wang Yi rushed away, escaping from the Black Feather Eagle.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
As a rain of arrows fell, ten Black Feather Eagles were instantly killed, blood pouring down like rain.
"Kill."
With the rain of arrows descending, a cold and merciless voice echoed.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Suddenly, the space trembled as dozens of black-clad figures shot out from the void, all Peak Experts of the Ninth Level of the Transformation Realm.
"Kill!"
The sound of killing reverberated.
"Early-stage Transcendent Realm expert." Li Dian and Wang Yi stood in mid-air and saw a tall figure slowly emerge behind the dozens of black-clad individuals. He was extremely tall, over two meters, with a strong build and thick hair. His blood-red eyes made him look like a raging brown bear from afar.
"Who are you to dare offend the Wang Family?" Li Dian's pupils constricted as he shouted angrily.
"Hmph, you'll know after you die." The Black-Clad Leader's voice was cold and emotionless as he waved his hand and ordered, "Leave no one alive."
"Li Tongling, you protect the young master and leave first; we will hold them off." A Black Feather Guard said urgently.
"Young master, go." Li Dian knew that facing a five-fold expert of the Gaze of the Abyss was beyond his capability. If he stayed, not only would he die, but the young master would also be unable to escape. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Brothers, take care."
Wang Yi's expression changed several times, filled with confusion. Who wanted to kill him?
He had just arrived in Zhongzhou and did not know anyone; how could someone want to kill him?
Li Mingqian? Hunting Temple?
Wang Yi's mind raced. In the vast Zhongzhou, he only had connections with these two forces.
"Could it be the Wang Family?" Wang Yi thought to himself. "Then Ji Hong mentioned that I should be wary of Wang Hang." He understood that he was the true Young Master of the Wang Family. If he entered the Wang Family, Wang Hang would surely fear that he threatened his position as Young Master. Considering this, it was indeed a possibility.
However, before clarifying the situation, Wang Yi did not dare to make rash judgments. After all, any of these three parties were immensely powerful and not something he could provoke.
"Thinking of escaping?" The Black-Clad Leader stepped forward, using the unique ability of a Glimpse of the Nirvana Realm Expert to pierce through space and suddenly appeared before Wang Yi and Li Dian. It should be noted that he was a fifth-level Gaze of the Abyss expert, far stronger than both Wang Yi and Li Dian, making escape difficult.
Li Dian's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly positioned himself in front of Wang Yi, reaching out into the void with a large hand. A long spear materialized in his grasp, emanating immense Nirvana Power. The spear shimmered with dazzling light, like lightning, and with a whoosh, it transformed into a stunning rainbow that shot out.
Wherever the rainbow passed, thunder rumbled as if lightning struck the ground, and deafening explosions echoed from all directions, accompanied by towering waves heading toward the Black-Clad Leader.
Seeing this, the Black-Clad Leader's eyes glinted coldly as he slowly extended one hand toward the void. With a rumble, a purple-gold hand appeared in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a golden mountain, exuding an overwhelming pressure. With another rumble, it pressed down on the long spear.
The shockwave burst forth, and with a bang, the long spear was crushed into countless specks of golden light that scattered everywhere.
