While Ye Tianze was plotting to kill Gold Mask, Hallmaster Huang was also being hunted down. The person who hunted him was his half-brother, the ancestor of the Huang family.
The Huang family had sent out many experts this time. When the ancestor realized that Ye was an impostor, he was a little annoyed.
However, he did not want to return empty-handed.
He Yingying and Lan Yuheng were his targets. Since he could not capture Ye, he could only settle for Lan Yuheng and He Yingying to vent his anger.
"These two do not belong to the Human Sovereign Palace. Why do you have to work so hard to protect them?" The Huang family surrounded them.
The ancestor alone was enough to restrain Hallmaster Huang. However, the Huang family had seven or eight Hidden Spirit experts. This was not something that Lan Yuheng and He Yingying could handle.
Even if they counted the impostor of Ye Tianze from the Human Sovereign Palace, the three of them would not be able to defeat so many experts from the Huang family.
"They may not belong to the Human Sovereign Palace, but they represent the Human Sovereign Palace in the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Territory assessment. I have the responsibility to protect them!" Hallmaster Huang's face was sinister.
"I'm afraid you don't have much hope for them. All your hopes are on Ye!" The ancestor saw through his thoughts. "It's a pity. Even if I can't capture Ye, someone else will."
Hallmaster Huang's heart skipped a beat, but his face was full of confidence. "Acheron's assassins might not be able to find him!"
"Are you talking about the Jubao Hall?" The ancestor smiled. "Let's not talk about a convoy from the Jubao Hall. Even the people in charge of the Jubao Hall in the three prefectures won't be able to protect him!"
Hallmaster Huang's face darkened.
"Don't think that I don't know about your secret communication with the Jubao Hall. Qingyuan Prefecture is still the Huang family's territory. Nothing can be hidden from me." "Acheron's men are probably waiting for me in Jade Dragon City with Night's head in their hands."
Hall Master Huang's expression was a little ugly. It was just as the Huang Family Ancestor had said, he had high hopes for "Ye". However, he didn't expect the Huang Family to have even taken the Jubao Hall into consideration.
"Did the Huang Clan eat a bear's heart or a leopard's gall? You even dared to kill members of my Mortal Emperor Palace! "Right when both sides were at each other's throats, a stern shout resounded from afar.
The sound waves rolled out, shaking the crowd until they felt goosebumps all over their bodies. A middle-aged man walked over from afar, holding an axe in his hand. His body emitted an oppressive feeling like a mountain!
Seeing this person, the Huang family's Old Ancestor's expression changed drastically. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Qing Ming!"
Palace Master Huang also cupped his hands and bowed, "Greetings, Lord Qing Ming!"
The newcomer was none other than Qing Ming, the lord of Jade Dragon City's Human Emperor Palace. His appearance immediately turned the situation around.
"You're not happy to see me, are you?" Qing Ming's expression was cold. "According to the Human Emperor's Code, you cooperated with the foreign tribes to kill the lord of Mortal Emperor Palace. Do you know what the punishment is?"
"This crime is punishable by death!" The Huang family's Old Ancestor was trembling with fear. "But … my Huang family has never colluded with the foreign tribes. It's just that that brat, Ye, killed three of my juniors. I couldn't take it lying down, so I resorted to this method!"
"Hmph, still trying to argue. Do you think that I've also died in the hands of the foreign tribes?" Qing Ming said coldly.
The Huang family's Old Ancestor immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I'm innocent, Lord Qing Ming. My Huang family has never colluded with the foreign tribes, nor have we ever thought of doing so. This is a personal grudge, a personal grudge!"
He knew very well that if the Human Emperor Palace determined that the Huang family had colluded with the foreign tribes, the Huang family's name would be removed from Qingyuan County.
Therefore, he would rather die than admit that he had colluded with the foreign tribes. In fact, he had never done so. However, when he heard Acheron's people say that the foreign tribes were involved, he was secretly delighted. He felt that even the heavens were on the Huang family's side.
Seeing that the Huang family's Old Ancestor had knelt down, Palace Master Huang walked out and said, "Lord Qing Ming, please show mercy. Although he has made a mistake, I believe that he would never collude with the foreign tribes."
Qing Ming's face turned cold. He said, "Do you know the rules of the Human Emperor Palace?"
"I do." Palace Master Huang nodded, but he was neither servile nor overbearing.
"New I is the fastest; Go!"
"Mm!" Qing Ming frowned. "You can avoid death, but you can't escape punishment!"
He immediately slapped his palm. It looked light, but it directly broke through the Huang family's Old Ancestor's spiritual energy defense, causing him to spit out blood.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Lord Qing Ming!" The Huang family's Old Ancestor didn't even have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He kowtowed and thanked Qing Ming.
"Scram!" Qing Ming shouted.
After the Huang family's group left, Qing Ming turned to Palace Master Huang and said, "I already know about what happened in Stone Stage City. Acheron's secret investigation also has an answer!"
Qing Ming then glanced at Lan Yuheng and He Yingying, and with a flick of his sleeve, the two of them fainted.
"These two are also participating in the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Territory's examination?" Qing Ming asked.
"Yes." Palace Master Huang nodded.
"This fatty is okay, but this girl is not so good." Qing Ming's face was cold. He continued, "Acheron's investigation is an anomaly. It's the same as the foreign tribes' investigation in the human territory. It's also an anomaly."
Qing Ming then said cautiously, "It's said that the stone statue in the Sky Dragon City's Main Hall also had an anomaly. Human Emperor Tai Xuan's statue has a crack!"
"This!" Palace Master Huang was shocked. "Is there a reason?"
"Reason?" Qing Ming sneered. "Hehe, if I knew the reason, I wouldn't need to spend so much effort to investigate. However, I can investigate the incident in Stone Stage City. It seems that five of Acheron's assassins went missing in Stone Stage City."
"Yes, the beast horde in Stone Stage City this time is really strange. According to the agreement, the level of the beast horde shouldn't be more than double the overall strength of a county. However, the beast horde in Stone Stage City this time was at least ten times stronger!" Palace Master Huang said. "The entire city was flattened!"
"It's a pity that no one is alive. Otherwise, we can follow this lead and investigate. I wonder what kind of anomaly could make the foreign tribes tremble in fear. Even Acheron, who is hiding in the gutter, is acting brazenly." Qing Ming said.
"Lord Qing Ming, there's one more thing that I need your help with." Palace Master Huang thought of Ye Tianze. Although he was probably dead, he didn't give up.
"You're talking about Ye, right?" Qing Ming said coldly. "It's a pity that Acheron sent a gold-masked assassin this time. I'm afraid …"
"Gold-masked!" Palace Master Huang's face darkened.
Although he knew that the Jubao Hall had a backup plan, if it was a gold-masked assassin, they would be in trouble!
"Take the two of them to Jade Dragon City first. No matter what the outcome is, I want to see them dead or alive!" Murderous intent flashed in Qing Ming's eyes. "And then there's Acheron. He's getting more and more arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think that the Human Sovereign Hall is a pushover!"
