Chapter 74: Entering the He Family Manor

If the He Family really had an Imperial Rank martial artist, the existing power structure of the Wu Kingdom would see the addition of another formidable force, inevitably leading to a shift in the balance of power.

Moreover, to many people who were unaware of the inside story, the He Family would undoubtedly be seen as standing together with the Xiao Family... The He Family, like the declining Jiang Family, was the family most frequently intermarried with the Xiao Family!

The Zhou Family of the imperial court, which already appeared isolated on the surface, would find itself in an even more precarious position if the Xiao Family were to swell again due to the He Family's support. At that time... chaos would definitely break out! The Wu Kingdom would descend into civil war! This was what people who heard He Shuo's words were thinking!

For a moment, the news spread far and wide!

He Shuo's roar was very loud, deliberately amplified with his cultivation, and the range of its reach was not small. With the additional means of dissemination, the scope of its spread was further expanded.

The imperial city, the capital, could be considered both large and small.

Therefore, it was foreseeable that this news would soon be known by everyone and spread like wildfire throughout the imperial city.

This was also what He Shuo, who was now emitting the aura of an Imperial Rank martial artist, intended to achieve.

He wanted everyone to know that the He Family had an Imperial Rank martial artist, that they were not a declining major family, but one with the potential to rise again!

The He Family indeed had an Imperial Rank martial artist! Those who said the He Family was finished should think twice before saying so!

Xiao Bei, who was drinking the last sip of "Snow Ridge Tea" not far from the He Family Manor, was slightly taken aback when he clearly heard He Shuo's words. He really did not know that the He Family had an Imperial Rank martial artist.

"How could the He Family have an Imperial Rank martial artist?"

This question puzzled Xiao Bei, because when he had questioned the already deceased Xiao Bing and Xiao Lie, both had said that the He Family did not have even one Imperial Rank martial artist.

"Those two could not have lied; I would definitely have sensed it if they had... which means the He Family's Imperial Rank martial artist must have appeared only recently."

Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed.

Looking at the few experts floating above the He Family Manor, Xiao Bei knew he should go out.

Standing up, Xiao Bei's black robe rustled in the windless air.

His gaze swept over the young man and the two middle-aged men in civilian clothes behind the table, and he paused for a moment.

These three people continued to drink their "Snow Ridge Tea" quietly, not meeting Xiao Bei's eyes.

However, Xiao Bei knew this was because the aura he was currently emitting was stronger than theirs. Although he was still holding back and not fully releasing his peak Imperial Rank martial artist strength, the aura he was currently emitting was already stronger than theirs.

Xiao Bei turned his head, and then his body suddenly shot up into the air like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for He Shuo and the others floating in the center of the He Family Manor!

"The blood of our He Family's fine young men, like He Ling, will not be shed in vain! Our He Family will not let others bully us!"

He Shuo, seeing the emotions of the He Family members rise, immediately spoke, and seeing their faces filled with righteous indignation, he knew his words had taken effect.

No, something was wrong!

Suddenly, after scanning the crowd, He Shuo was about to shout again to stir the emotions, but his expression froze. He knew the moment of truth had arrived... He saw the faces of the He Family members in front of him change!

Their gazes were all fixed on the same direction!

Behind him!

At that moment, He Shuo knew what had happened!

There was definitely someone in that direction!

It could be...

His face darkened, and his eyes turned cold. He Shuo, who had been hunched, slowly turned in the air.

Then, as his eyes turned with his body, he saw a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a black veil, standing opposite him.

He could not sense any martial aura from this person at all!

Even when the person was only fifty meters away, he still could not sense it, which meant this person was stronger than him!

A quick glance revealed that the military deputy commander on the ground was pale and trembling.

It was him!

The masked martial artist who had killed He Ling and He Yong!

Thinking of this, the martial aura that had already been swelling around He Shuo rose even higher... "Fall back!"

As He Shuo's martial aura rose, he shouted loudly.

The He Family members on the other side immediately obeyed He Shuo's command and fell back.

On the ground, chaos ensued!

Although the large group of He Family members had been orderly, Xiao Bei's arrival, with his mysterious and profound strength, as described by the military deputy commander, suddenly turned their order into complete chaos!

A large number of people began to flee in confusion... Only a few He Family experts at the Innate Realm remained, as they still had some strength compared to others and could not flee, staying on the ground.

The military deputy commander who had come to report the news did not dare to move in this situation.

Yes, although he was a martial artist at the Innate Realm, considered a strong person by ordinary people, he still did not dare to move, because he was unsure what the masked black-robed martial artist, a true powerhouse, would think of his movement—he was the one who had come to the He Family to report the news!

At this moment, he was thinking that it was General Wang Yong who had harmed him, making him report the news, and being caught by the demon god on the spot, his life was in grave danger, and it was uncertain whether he would live or die!

Imperial Rank martial artists were casually crushed by this demon god, and he was just an Innate Realm Holy Rank martial artist, so death could come at any moment... Cold sweat broke out on his body, and his armor felt unbearably heavy at this moment.

He stood there, very abruptly, in a sparsely populated place, waiting to be slaughtered.

The few He Family experts at the Innate Realm did not retreat, their faces taut, standing behind He Shuo, nervously watching the black-robed man with the veil.

"Is that so? Do you think Imperial Rank martial artists are invincible? Killing our He Family's fine young men, He Ling and He Yong, so recklessly, bullying us because you think we have no one to stand up to you?"

He Shuo's white hair fluttered, and his aged face snorted angrily.

On the other side, the man in the black robe, naturally Xiao Bei, shook his head when he heard He Shuo's words, "Your words are just as full of strong, unsatisfactory implications as those of He Ling and He Yong, whom I killed. I think the lack of discipline in He Yong and others is also due to your indulgence, and I have heard that the women of your He Family are very arrogant and domineering, like the notorious fierce woman He Zhi of Wu Kingdom... It's all because of you."

These few words almost made He Shuo spit blood!
