Chapter 1242: The Domineering Old Man Knocks Down The Door

Bang!

All of the worldly natural energy within tens of thousands of meters of Abyssal City was stirred into action. It then converged towards the city as if it was driven by something.

A moment later, nigh infinite amounts of energy transformed into a massive wave in the sky, seemingly capable of crushing the city beneath.

The pressure caused the void to continuously ripple and shatter. Even the ground beneath shuddered as though it feared the cataclysmic power that was about to descend.

The countless experts in Abyssal City were shocked. The terrifying pressure bearing down on them far surpassed that of an upper-grade Duke. They could feel a chill running through their bodies as an inconceivable notion appeared in their heads.

"Is that... a King?"

"Where did this King cfrom? Why would he cause trouble in Abyssal City?"

"This is the core of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin in the World's End River Region."

"Oh God! Is he planning to fight against the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin?"

Numerous shocked shouts echoed throughout Abyssal City. Numerous powers and rogue cultivators had taken up residence in the city; sfelt that the situation didn't seem right and the quicker ones took the initiative to leave.

If the King truly took action, half of the city could very well end up smashed to pieces. As Dukes, they were usually the ones to flaunt their power, but they would simply be collateral damage in such an encounter.

Even if they had interests in Abyssal City, it was not worth risking their lives.

Thus, chaos unfolded throughout the city in just moments. Streams of light swiftly shot outwards as people took their leave with haste.

At the stime, sof the experts in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin finally reacted. Although they felt that the situation was unbelievable, towering pillars of light shot into the sky as Duke Bergfrieds took form, absorbing immense amounts of worldly natural energy.

A guard of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin respectfully cupped his hands and solemnly asked the figure in the sky, "Esteemed elder, could you please explain why you are assaulting Abyssal City? This is the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's stronghold. Could you have made a mistake?"

If the attacker were just a Duke, even if it was an upper-grade Duke, the guard would not have acted so courteously—he would have struck the enemy down instantly. Alas, this was a King. Kings were the pillars that held up the foundation of a Heavenly Emperor power.

In the absence of a Heavenly Emperor, Kings reigned supreme.

On the other hand, Li Jingzhe completely disregarded the Duke who had asked the question. His gaze swept across the city as his indifferent voice rumbled for all to hear.

"Qin Lian, why do you bother hiding after I went through the trouble of coming right to your doorstep?" He stretched out his wizened palm and grasped towards the titanic tsunami of worldly natural energy above him. The numerous experts watched in shock as energy transformed into a gigantic beam of sword energy.

The sword energy emanated undulations of power that could exterminate anything in the world. Even the Dukes who were watching the scene felt their scalps turn numb.

Li Jingzhe casually flicked his hand, and the beam of sword energy plummeted from the skies, directly striking a majestic manor in the city.

Countless complex runes suddenly appeared and intertwined above the manor, forming a defensive ward.

But it was like a block of tofu before the domineering beam of sword energy, offering no resistance. It shattered, and the energy continued to descend without pause.

Bang!

The manor that covered hundreds of square meters collapsed and turned into a huge pit. The wards that protected it shattered, then a miserable figure rose to the sky.

The person had a head of disheveled hair and blood leaked from a corner of her mouth. She stared into the sky with both anger and fear on her face. "Lineage Chief Li Jingzhe, how dare you attack the core area of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin? Do you wish to start a war between two Heavenly Emperor powers?!"

With these words, the countless experts who had remained in the city were shocked. It turned out that the old man was the Dragon's Fang Lineage’s Lineage Chief.

Sother people emerged from the ruins of the manor and landed nearby.

Qin Yi and Chu Qing were in that group. They had solemn looks on their faces as they stared at Li Jingzhe with gazes full of terror. They had never experienced the wrath of a King before.

This sort of might was capable of devastating everything under the skies.

However, they did not understand why Li Jingzhe would suddenly turn up at their doorstep. This was tantamount to a declaration of war and was no small matter.

Li Jingzhe's indifferent gaze focused on Qin Lian. "My grandson Li Luo encountered an assassination attempt from an eighth-grade Duke the moment he stepped into the World's End River Region. It must have been you."

Qin Lian's expression turned gloomy as she replied without hesitation, "Lineage Chief Li Jingzhe, I don't know what you're talking about. Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan made countless enemies in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent all those years ago. It's not hard to imagine that someone out there is dissatisfied with them and chose to act against their son. Furthermore, there are many rogue cultivators in the World's End River Region. They act without scruple and are unrestrained. It is entirely possible that Li Luo offended them and invited retribution."

Li Jingzhe callously replied, "I'm not here to engage in sophistry. I warned you before that the problems of the previous generation will remain with the previous generation. If you still hold enmity, you can look for Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan. However, if you dare to bully my grandson, I will make sure you experience what it’s like to be bullied by someone with far more power.”

Qin Lian gritted her teeth. "I said it before—I have no idea what you're talking about. Is the dignified Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage an unreasonable man? If you can prove that it was me, take out the evidence and I'm willing to be punished. Otherwise, Lineage Chief Jingzhe, do you think that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin is so easily bullied?"

Li JJingzhe coolly replied, clearly unfazed by the threat, "Evidence? I don't need any. If it really was you, then what I am doing is perfectly justified and you deserve to be punished. If it wasn't you, I'd just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

The experts that remained now understood why Li Jingzhe was here. Clearly, Li Luo had been attacked and he suspected that the culprit behind it was none other than Qin Lian.

That said, it was a little unsettling that he would cknocking on their door so violently on a mere suspicion. Was the Dragon's Fang Lineage’s Lineage Chief such a tyrannical individual?

Sof the elites in the city began to whisper amongst themselves. "What's his grandson's name? Remember it dearly and don't bother him."

It wouldn't be possible to deal with the aftermath of any situation in which a King Stage grandpa would personally turn up to look for trouble whenever something happened.

Qin Yi frowned. She understood her mother's personality very well, and if there truly was a chance, she probably would attempt to kill Li Luo.

Alas, no one had expected that Qin Lian's reckless actions would lead to a reckless response from the usually stoic and rule-abiding Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

He'd kill his way to the doors of his enemies just because he suspected it was them.

If news of this spread, the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent would be shocked.

Qin Lian, on the other hand, was also furious. Li Jingzhe was clearly being too tyrannical. She had a feeling that he was planning to deal with her today no matter what. A ferocious glint flashed across her eyes. Since there was nothing that could be said, then she would no longer bother!

Since Li Jingzhe had caused such a ruckus, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's King was sure to have sensed it. If she could hold on for a while, the King would quickly make his way over. Qin Lian clenched her fists and a plaque appeared in her hand, emitting a resounding roar throughout the area.

"Since you dare to attack the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's stronghold so brazenly, I have no choice but to take action. Otherwise, it would be a stain on our reputation. Everyone, listen to my command. Activate the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation!"
