"Hmm?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard Feng Hao's voice.
"What do you mean? Could it be …"
Mu Lingheng's pupils shrank as his expression suddenly turned extremely grave.
The higher-ups of the Mu Clan also quickly reacted. Their gazes immediately followed the direction of Feng Hao's gaze.
However, what puzzled them was that there were no unusual fluctuations in the sky.
"Buzz …"
Feng Hao frowned slightly when he saw this, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.
Puff!
Chen Tiandao and the others were sent flying by the terrifying aura, vomiting blood.
Even if the aura wasn't targeted at the experts of the Mu Clan, Mu Lingheng and the others still felt an enormous pressure. Even the grade-5 Mu Clan Patriarch found it difficult to breathe, let alone the others.
However, their hearts were filled with shock, and they didn't really care about the pressure.
Previously, the strength that Fenghao had displayed allowed them to guess that the latter's strength should not be much different from a Monarch existence. However, when they clearly felt the aura that only a Monarch possessed, the shock they felt was still indescribable.
"It seems that you guys aren't that important to Zhu Yuanzi."
Feng Hao glanced at Chen Tiandao and the others before he withdrew his aura and said indifferently.
Chen Tiandao's face turned red when he heard this. However, he no longer had any wishful thinking when he sensed how powerful Feng Hao's aura was.
In the face of such a powerful existence, any quibble seemed so weak and powerless.
"Buzz …"
As if sensing Feng Hao's aura, a figure appeared out of thin air in the distant horizon.
The figure was dressed in a white robe, and there was some indifference between his brows. As he appeared, an invisible pressure filled the world, as if he was the ruler of this world.
"Emperor Zhu Yuanzi!"
The pupils of Mu Lingheng and the others shrank when they saw this figure, and their expressions immediately became unusually solemn.
Zhu Yuanzi was one of the three Monarchs of the Hongling Continent!
Any expert on the Hongling Continent would have heard of Emperor Zhu Yuan's name. In their hearts, the latter was like a god. No one had expected that Zhu Yuanzi would actually appear here!
"Chen Tiandao greets the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Lord Monarch!"
Chen Tiandao and the elders of the Chen family hurriedly bowed in greeting. They did not even dare to look directly at the imposing figure. Although they had always said that they had the support of the Emperor, this was only their wishful thinking. They did not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous in front of Zhu Yuanzi.
"These bastards."
Zhu Yuanzi took a deep breath and cursed inwardly. He could sense an extremely dangerous aura from Feng Hao!
Even the other two Monarchs didn't have such a feeling of danger!
"Phew …"
Zhu Yuanzi didn't even look at Chen Tiandao. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he moved and appeared not far away from Feng Hao. Then, he cupped his hands together.
"This emperor, Zhu Yuanzi, greets fellow daoist."
Zhu Yuanzi smiled brightly. He did not put on the airs of someone superior at all.
Everyone shivered inside when they saw this. They understood that it was not because Zhu Yuanzi was approachable. Instead, he had already accepted that Feng Hao was an existence on the same level as him.
"Feng Hao," Zhu Yuanzi smiled faintly.
Feng Hao smiled faintly. He did not try to avoid his gaze. Instead, he studied the Class 7 Reciprocity existence with some interest.
Zhu Yuanzi's presence pulsed extremely vigorously. Unsurprisingly, he was at the great perfection of Reciprocity. However, he did not give off the same strange pulses as Emperor Midnight and the others.
Clearly, Zhu Yuanzi had not reached the Chaotic realm. His strength should be similar to Da Xie and Emperor Wutian. Existences at the half-step Chaotic realm like the Prison God and Emperor Yuntian should be able to suppress him.
For some reason, Zhu Yuanzi felt rather flustered under Feng Hao's gaze.
They were both at the great perfection of Reciprocity, but the latter gave him the feeling of a primordial beast. As one of the rulers of the Primordial Continent, he actually felt insignificant before Feng Hao.
"Fellow Feng Hao, may I have a word with you?"
Zhu Yuanzi's heart was in turmoil, but his expression did not change. With a gentle smile, he said, "Don't worry.
"If fellow Zhu Yuanzi doesn't mind, why don't you come with me to my courtyard?"
Feng Hao pointed at the courtyard below and smiled.
Feng Hao's personality was to return the favor tenfold. Since Zhu Yuanzi did not seem overbearing, he obviously would not take the initiative to antagonize him.
"We're all fellow daoists, so how can I mind? However, please wait a moment …"
Zhu Yuanzi smiled knowingly. Then, his gaze finally fell on Chen Tiandao and the others.
"Sir emperor!"
Feeling Zhu Yuanzi's gaze, Chen Tiandao and the others trembled all over. They really felt very guilty.
"Chen Tiandao, I've already repaid the favor I owe your Chen clan. I've been wanting to hold you accountable for taking advantage of me all these years!"
Zhu Yuanzi's expression froze. In front of Chen Tiandao and the others, he finally displayed the dignity of a Monarch expert.
"Emperor …"
Chen Tiandao was terrified. He wanted to explain, but the powerful pressure made it impossible for him to even open his mouth.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzi's expression, Feng Hao only shook his head and did not say anything. He knew that Zhu Yuanzi was purposely putting on an act to disassociate himself from the Chen clan.
"Hmph, it's all thanks to fellow Feng Hao for teaching me a lesson today. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble you'll cause by taking advantage of my name!"
Zhu Yuanzi clearly knew that Fenghao had already understood his meaning. After letting out a cold snort, he did not waste any more words and directly waved his arm. An obscure wave swept out from his hand and instantly enveloped Chen Tiandao and the others.
Puff!
The bodies of Chen Tiandao and the others shuddered in the face of this fluctuation. They could clearly feel the power of the bloodline in their bodies evaporating.
"I'll spare your lives today, but I'll only strip you of your bloodlines as punishment. In the future, if the Chen clan dares to take advantage of my name again …"
Zhu Yuanzi's eyes flickered coldly, and his voice was icy cold.
Although he did not finish his sentence, everyone knew that the Chen clan would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
"Thank you for your mercy, Emperor!"
The stripping of their bloodlines was undoubtedly a huge loss for Chen Tiandao and the others. Even if they recovered from their injuries, their cultivation levels would still be unstable.
