I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 443 - : 443. Conflict erupts

Chapter 443: 443. Conflict erupts

Lu Yao and his family returned home with a full load, in high spirits.

Three Great Grandmasters outside the city weren’t quite so lucky.

After spending several hours, they still had not breached the Mercury Guards’ defense, blocked at the doorway unable to enter.

Their Spirit Refining Practitioners, none of which recognized the formation, let alone understood how to break it, could only say helplessly:

“This is a grand formation laid down with the help of the earth’s magnetic field, it would take a very long time to exhaust it with manpower…”

The three Great Grandmasters shook their heads in succession.

Officialdom rarely had any powerful Spirit Refiners, as those in power were always wary of those who could gather the power of belief; those at the Fetal Breath Realm were already the most core personnel.

“We must have Spirit Refiners!”

At this moment, all three were considering having their trusted subordinates, or even themselves, strengthen their Spirit Refining Stage.

However, these were matters for the future; the immediate problem was pressing.

Grandmaster Zeng was the most anxious, pacing back and forth on the spot, growing increasingly agitated.

Zhang Wenda said leisurely from the side:

“Grandmaster Zeng, please stay calm. From the sounds of it earlier, they fought fiercely; wouldn’t it be better for us to reap the benefits of their fight?”

Yuan Kaisheng nodded in agreement, not seeming too anxious. He was sitting on a Taishi Chair, with two young girls helping him massage.

Zeng Bohan said indifferently, “You two, you’ve already found solid backing, haven’t you?

Zhang Wenda, you have Einheit’s support, and I hear even their entire cabinet has huge investments with you.”

Then, Zeng Bohan turned to Yuan Kaisheng, glancing meaningfully at the katana at his waist, and said:

“As for you, it seems you’ve hooked up with Izumo’s Emperor. Hence, the two of you aren’t in a hurry, but if there’s even a slight mistake on my part, my life and fortune would be at risk.”

Yuan Kaisheng replied, “Grandmaster Zeng is very close to Jiade. The country just signed the surrender declaration… But you needn’t be anxious, Jiade wasn’t completely incapacitated, the so-called surrender declaration is merely a ceasefire agreement.”

Zhang Wenda suddenly laughed out loud, “Would Grandmaster Zeng put all his eggs in one basket? He has already been in contact with the Vice President of the Menes Federation. Rumor has it that you’re conceding monetary sovereignty, that’s a bold move.”

Zeng Bohan cast a cold glance at his old rival but appeared calm in demeanor.

All the regional governors were colluding with the great powers. Whether they plan to establish their rule or welcome the New Dynasty, they had to be fully prepared for any eventuality.

Their conversation was interrupted by new movements in the Epang Palace.

As the palace gates flung open, under the gaze of countless eyes, Lu Yao and his entourage walked out, full of vigor and vitality.

When the Mercury General Meng Yi, guarding the palace walls, saw them, he not only did not stop them but rather saluted them with a fisted bow!

Witnessing this scene, a tumultuous uproar erupted! The three Great Grandmasters’ expressions changed dramatically!

“Damn it, even the palace guards are saluting him! This Lu fellow must have taken all the treasures from the Underground Palace!”

“It seems the Joyful Bodhisattva and Lin Mengsheng have little chance of surviving.”

Amidst the commotion, Zeng Bohan shouted, “Lu Yao, where is The Empress Dowager!”

Zhang Wenda also asked, “And His Majesty?”

Lu Yao said indifferently, “They’re all dead. Emperor Yong’an was swallowed by The Empress Dowager’s Heavenly Demon Form, and then I took care of the rest.”

He spoke casually, but those present were shocked into silence for a long while, unable to speak!

“Three Golden Body Level powerhouses… all died by your hand!?”

“That’s impossible, Lu must have used some treacherous scheme!”

“Exactly! With the combat power of Golden Body fighters, even if they couldn’t win, they could at least escape!”

Lu Yao’s words were too incredible to believe, and many people had their doubts, couldn’t help but voice their skepticism.

Lu Yao said with a smile, “That’s the situation. The Mausoleum Underground Palace will be my place from now on, so if you have no business here, please disperse.”

As these words came out, there was an uproar among the crowd:

“Let us go? How can you be so domineering, leaving no room for others to live!”

“This surnamed Lu is so arrogant, what do you think… is he just bluffing?”

At this moment, the most active was none other than the brother of Great Grandmaster Zeng—Zeng Boquan.

“Even if this man has truly killed three of the Golden Body Level, he himself must have been injured; he’s surely at the end of his strength!”

Then, he pointed at the female companions of Lu Yao and said, “Look at them, their bodies are all adorned with Ice Jade!”

Upon closer inspection, the beauties all wore Ice Jade Rings on their fingers, and Ice Jade Bracelets around their wrists!

The crowd couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, and then greed flared up.

Ice Jade was an aid for cultivation, especially useful for those in the Spirit Refining Stage, a sacred item not purchasable with money!

Who knows what they would think if they knew that Lu Yao had also obtained several Magical Treasures.

Aside from the greedy, the remnants of the Golden Lotus Sect glared at Lu Yao and his family, filled with intense hatred!

They had secret methods to confirm the death of their Sect Leader, and with no Golden Body Level members left, it was as if the main beam of the house had broken, and the collapse was imminent, how could they not hate.

In an instant, the crowd was stirred up with indignation, and even many who held no particular grudges were gnashing their teeth.

Bear in mind, this was Emperor Qin’s Underground Palace, where even a randomly pried ground tile taken back would be something to boast about for a lifetime.

And this surnamed Lu thinks he can clear the area with just a few words, he shouldn’t think too highly of himself!

At this moment, blinded by hate and greed, countless people had lost their vision.

Facing gazes of various expressions, Lu Yao’s smile faded, and a shadowy figure appeared behind him.

“It seems that you prefer to drink a penalty rather than a toast.”

Nearly 20,000 people heard these words and simultaneously stepped back three paces, looking towards the three Great Grandmasters.

They weren’t stupid, of course. Such matters naturally needed someone to take the lead.

The three Great Grandmasters exchanged glances, clearly not planning to just walk away.

Zeng Bohan said with a cold face, “Surnamed Lu! With so many people here, by what right do you claim to monopolize the Underground Palace with just one word! Moreover, you’ve been conferred by the Imperial Court, and are even the husband of Princess Yongping. Killing the Emperor and the Empress amounts to disloyalty, unfilial behavior, and immorality!”

Lu Yao turned his head and looked their way, saying, “Grandmaster Zeng, then let me ask you, when the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers invaded, where did you flee to after enjoying the nation’s grace for so many years?

And what of Zhang Wenda and Yuan Kaisheng, where were you two? If you had even resisted a little, the citizens of Jinmen would certainly have had time to evacuate, rather than being completely decimated.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Kaisheng, who was best at quibbling, attempted to argue, “We were preserving strength for future prospects, to retain the seed of civilization…”

“No need for meaningless chatter with him!” Zeng Bohan, eyeing the Ice Jade worn by Lu Yao’s family, could hardly wait any longer.

In this day and age, reputation served no purpose; only personal strength was fundamental, and there was simply no need for explanations.

His palms immediately started to blur, a sign that he was mustering the force for “Supreme Taiyi Thunderclap Hand.”

Suddenly, the crowd witnessed the 12-meter tall heart demon manifesting behind Lu Yao.

The three Great Grandmasters felt a surge of joy, thinking such a size was not very difficult to deal with…

But the next second, their smiles froze on their faces…

Out of nowhere, a majestic Golden Dragon coiled around the arm of the heart demon, turning into a golden dragon-shaped flame dancing in the air!

In an instant, the three-headed and six-armed heart demon grew to a hundred meters tall, soaring to the heavens, standing tall as if it were a deity or demon!

Ordinary people were only the size of one of its fingers, and martial artists below the Blood-Exchange Realm who dared to look it in the eyes would collapse on the spot in terror.

All three faces of the heart demon locked onto Zeng Bohan, and its voice boomed like thunder:

[What was it that you said about me just now?]
