In the blink of an eye, when the surrounding people felt that they had escaped from the terrifying flame furnace, Steward Huang of the Huang Mansion was burned to ashes in the flames of the Vermilion Bird. There was nothing left of him.
No, there were still some things left.
Clang …
The protective armor that Steward Huang had taken out turned into a lump of unrecognizable, pitch-black metal and fell heavily to the ground.
Other than this, there were also gold coins that had been dropped from Steward Huang's spatial equipment. The gold coins that had fallen out had melted in the blink of an eye. As for the other items that had fallen out, there seemed to be quite a lot of gold notes and elixirs. However, they had all been burned to ashes by the flames in the blink of an eye. Nothing was left behind.
This crisp sound seemed to have freed everyone from the terrifying nightmare-like perception just now.
The light figure of the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird hovered in front of everyone's eyes like a nightmare.
Xia Pingan gently landed on the ground from the sky like a feather.
The water on the ground had already dried up. The water on the ground in the surrounding hundreds of square meters had also dried up. There was no trace of rain at all. Besides the metal lump, there was only a puddle of solidified golden water on the ground where Steward Huang was standing. The terrifying heat gradually dissipated in the entire space, causing the rainwater to evaporate before it touched the ground, forming a weird cloud above the Huang Mansion like a volcanic eruption.
Xia Pingan looked at the other guards of the Huang Manor. A few of the guards who were holding guns trembled. Their faces paled and their guns fell to the ground.
As for the summoner of the Huang Manor who had shot the fireball at Xia Pingan, his face was as white as paper. His eyes were dazed and his body was trembling uncontrollably due to fear. Only now did the summoner feel that he had just walked back and forth from the gates of hell. Steward Huang was a summoner of the Three Sun Realm and was the strongest person in the entire Huang Manor. If this envoy inspector had attacked him, he probably wouldn't have known how he had died.
"Heaven Burning Vermillion Bird … Heaven Burning Vermillion Bird …" The summoner from the Huang Clan murmured like a person who had lost his mind. Only when he saw Xia Pingan's eyes did he take a few steps back in fear.
Legend had it that the Heaven-burning Vermilion Bird's summoning magic came from the Sage Monarch Realm Pearl. But even if a hundred thousand people fused with the Sage Monarch Realm Pearl had a divine will crystal, they would only be able to use the Sage Monarch Realm Pearl's water-type summoning magic. The Divine Will Crystal wasn't omnipotent.
Only a handful of legendary Summoners who were blessed by the heavens were able to break through the shackles of the divine will crystal and fuse with the Sage Monarch Realm Bead. They were able to discover the earth-shattering secrets hidden within the Sage Monarch Realm Bead and summon a legendary divine creature of fire.
"The East Port Inspection Department is handling this case. Anyone who obstructs will be executed …" Xia Pingan said to the guards of the Huang Clan. Then he snapped his fingers and the obedient Black Dragon immediately rushed out and led the way into the Huang Clan.
Xia Pingan ignored the guards of the Huang Clan and directly followed the Black Dragon into the Huang Clan.
Everyone hurriedly stepped aside, no one dared to block their path.
The reputation of the Huang Clan was not enough to intimidate this powerful envoy inspector. Even the steward of the Huang Clan was killed, what more small fries like them?
Long Chao and the others were also dumbfounded. They hurriedly followed Xia Pingan's footsteps.
Long Chao walked beside Xia Pingan and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, the Heaven-burning Vermilion Bird you just summoned … Was … was it a summoning magic obtained by fusing with the Sage Monarch Realm Bead?"
The Summoners of this world called Yu The Great Realm Bead the Sage Monarch Realm Bead.
Xia Pingan nodded lightly.
The Heaven-burning Vermilion Bird was the summoning magic of Yu The Great Realm Bead that he had learned after reaching the Three Sun Realm.
Apart from this, he had also learned the summoning magic of the White Tiger when he was at the Two Sun Realm.
As for the summoning magic of the Azure Dragon, he would probably need to reach the Four Sun Realm before he could learn it.
Xia Pingan's expression didn't change, but his heart still ached. The summoning just now was very satisfying, but a full 360 points of divine power were gone in an instant.
…
Just as Xia Pingan broke into the Huang Manor, in a living room in the backyard of the Huang Manor, there were two noblewomen and a young man sitting there talking and drinking tea.
One of the noblewomen was the wife of the Anxi Province Governor, Huang Zheng — the mistress of the Huang Clan. The other was a guest of the Huang Clan. Today, the Huang Clan's guest was the most famous "Sister Ran" in Shang Jing's wealthy circle. She was the matchmaker.
Madam Huang wasn't even fifty years old and was slightly plump. Because she took good care of herself, there weren't many wrinkles on her face. However, when she smiled, there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Those wrinkles were like the unfurled tail of a fish. They carried with them a trace of sharpness that had accumulated over time. With her head full of pearls and jade, she appeared even more dignified and noble.
Sitting across from Madam Huang was "Sister Ran", who looked much younger than Madam Huang. She looked like a young woman in her thirties. She had an oval face and a face as beautiful as peach blossoms. Her eyes were bright, and she spoke well. When she smiled, there were two dimples on her face. She exuded the charm of a mature woman.
The two women were talking. A handsome purple-robed young man who looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old was sitting next to Madam Huang. He was drinking tea and listening to their conversation with a smile on his face.
The purple-robed young man's slanted eyes flashed with an unfathomable light from time to time, carrying a trace of lewdness. He stared at the "Sister Ran" who came to the door and wandered around the woman's body. Only when the "Sister Ran" turned to look at him did he pretend to be drinking tea, avoiding the gaze of the "Sister Ran" and revealing a serious expression.
She is the apple of Old Master Cui and Lord Cui's eyes. She is well-matched with Young Master Huang. I just met Madam Cui yesterday. Madam Cui has also met Young Master Huang twice at the banquet. She has a good impression of Young Master Huang. She said that Young Master Huang is cultured, elegant, and handsome. He is a Two Sun Realm Summoner at such a young age. He is hardworking and has a bright future. There aren't many people like Young Master Huang in the circle of young masters in Shang Jing! "
As the "Sister Ran" spoke, she turned to look at Young Master Huang with a smile on her face.
"I heard that the Cui Family's Second Miss has an elder sister. I wonder how her elder sister is like?" Madam Huang asked.
"I was just about to tell you, Madam. The Cui Family's First Miss is also a lady from a respectable family. Last year, she was engaged to the son of Lord Qi of the Zhenwu Army and will be married at the end of this year. If Young Master Huang's marriage is successful, Young Master Huang will be in-laws with the son of Lord Qi of the Zhenwu Army. The Huang Family and the Qi Family will be even closer. I heard that Madam Huang also has a son in the Railway General Headquarters. Chief Gu of the Railway General Headquarters is the brother-in-law of Lord Qi of the Zhenwu Army.
As one of the noblewomen in Shang Jing City, Madam Huang knew the importance of the social circle in Shang Jing City. This social circle was the moat of their Huang Family's wealth for hundreds of generations. Therefore, Madam Huang paid extra attention to choosing a daughter-in-law. As long as the Huang Family's people were in this social circle, no matter how bad her son was, he wouldn't be too bad.
"Wei 'er, you've seen the Cui Family's Second Miss. What do you think of her?" Madam Huang turned to look at her son and asked.
"If Mother fancies her, then she's naturally good. Everything will be decided by Mother!" The Huang Family's Second Young Master, Huang Wei, said obediently.
"Then I'll have to trouble Madam Yue with this matter. If this matter is successful, the Huang Family will definitely thank you greatly!" Madam Huang said to the "Sister Ran".
"I'll do my best. Everything still depends on the fate between Young Master Huang and Miss Cui. There's one thing that Madam Cui needs to know. The Cui Family's rules are very strict. If Young Master Huang is meeting with friends, it's best that he doesn't go to those places of romance to avoid gossip!"
"Although my Wei 'er's personality isn't stable enough, he has always been clean and honest. He won't do anything that will disgrace the family!"
"That's good!"
At this moment, Huang Wei, who had been sitting beside the two, turned his head and looked in the direction of the front yard. As a summoner, he could already feel some unusual divine energy waves coming from the front yard.
Young Master Huang was a little puzzled. He didn't know where the divine energy waves came from. Could it be the summoners of the Huang Family sparring with each other? But the divine energy waves were a little intense, far beyond the range of a normal summoner sparring.
Of course, Young Master Huang would never have thought that someone would dare to come to the Huang Family's door and cause trouble.
It didn't take long for a clamor to be heard from outside.
Madam Huang frowned slightly and looked at 'Sister Ran' with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, but Wei 'er's father has not been in the manor all this time. The servants in the Huang Manor lack discipline and are too rude. They're making a ruckus outside without any decorum. Madam Yue, please excuse us!"
"It's just a small matter. It's fine. Sometimes, the servants in the Huang Family's residence are noisy and lively …"
"I'll go out and see what's going on." Young Master Huang's eyebrows twitched. He felt that something was wrong and wanted to go out to take a look.
"Let Steward Huang go for a small matter like this …" Madam Huang said and waved a maid outside the door to find Steward Huang.
Seeing that the maid had left, Young Master Huang continued to sit in the living room.
But for some reason, Young Master Huang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His heart was beating fast and his palms were sweating. He was a little flustered.
But a few seconds after the maid left, a Huang Family guard rushed into the room with a pale face. "Madam, Young Master, it's not good. A few people from the East Harbor Inspection Department have barged into the Huang Family's residence. They say they want to arrest the criminal who raped the women in East Harbor …"
