Upon hearing this, Vincent Zuo’s heart trembled. He lowered his eyelids and said indifferently, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Before Jiang Chu could say anything further, Kunlun Jue’s eyes flickered with surprise as if recalling something. “Are you the Master of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in Qingxuan Town?”
The Black Fiend Region had only twenty major cities and over a hundred towns. Given that Qingxuan Town was relatively close to their Qianyou City, he had some impression of the four major powers there.
Vincent Zuo did not answer, remaining on high alert.
He was well aware that the person before him was the Palace Master of Celestial Palace in Qianyou City. However, all his attention was focused on the two elders from the Jiang Imperial Clan, leaving him no time to respond to Kunlun Jue.
Seeing this, Kunlun Jue’s eyes flashed with displeasure, and he fell silent.
The Vice Palace Master glanced at the seven-colored serpent and said coldly, “We came to this Longevity Tavern to drink. Move aside!”
Vincent Zuo acted as if he hadn’t heard, and the seven-colored serpent remained in place, its eyes bloodthirsty, ready to attack at any moment.
He wasn’t foolish; he didn’t attack immediately. If he could stall until the innkeeper came out, that would be best.
These people before him… he couldn’t possibly stop them. If he died just like that, he would be unwilling… He still had deep-seated grudges to settle!
Upon hearing the news, more and more cultivators gathered around the Longevity Tavern.
Seeing the hundred or so cultivators crushed to the ground, some even lifeless, their hearts trembled.
What on earth… happened here?
“Master!”
At this moment, the people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion arrived. Seeing Vincent Zuo’s iconic serpent, they knew something serious had occurred.
Vincent Zuo’s expression changed slightly because he saw Evelyn Zuo had also come along!
“Oh?”
Jiang Chu instantly sensed something unusual from the bronze mirror. His eyes narrowed as he flipped his hand and took it out!
The usually inactive bronze mirror began to emit a faint glow at this moment!
Jiang Chong, Kunlun Jue, and the Vice Palace Master were all shocked.
In the next moment, a golden beam shot out from the bronze mirror, illuminating Evelyn Zuo in the crowd!
Everyone was astonished!
“Miss, this is…”
The elders of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were bewildered but instinctively knew this was not a good sign!
Evelyn Zuo stood frozen, her face filled with confusion.
“Hahaha… So you were hiding in Qingxuan Town all along. What a fruitless search it has been…” Jiang Chu regained his composure and laughed meaningfully.
He exchanged a glance with Jiang Chong, both feeling exhilarated—they had finally found her.
Jiang Chu suddenly looked at the stiff-faced Vincent Zuo and sneered, “I finally understand why you seemed familiar earlier… Zuo Hengzhi, you’ve made us search so hard for you…”
The reaction from the bronze mirror made everything clear to him instantly!
Vincent Zuo sighed and grinned sinisterly, “Zuo Hengzhi is dead. I am now Vincent Zuo, Master of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!”
Everyone was confused, except for Evelyn Zuo, whose heart trembled. She knew the Jiang Imperial Clan had come for them.
“I don’t care if you’re Zuo Hengzhi or Vincent Zuo now. Since we’ve found you and your daughter, killing you will allow us to report back to the clan. You’ve lived long enough,” Jiang Chu said as he spread his left hand, a green light slowly emerging from his palm.
As the green light appeared, the temperature dropped sharply, making everyone feel like they were in the depths of winter, the intense killing intent seemingly ready to engulf the entire scene.
“Father!”
Seeing this, Evelyn Zuo panicked and rushed to Vincent Zuo’s side.
“Don’t come over, Evelyn!” Vincent Zuo shouted.
Evelyn Zuo’s expression changed, but she ignored him and still moved to his side.
The elders of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion hesitated but eventually gritted their teeth and stood behind Vincent Zuo in a line. At this moment, they couldn’t retreat, even knowing the people before them were super strong.
However, the young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stood frozen, trembling, and disappeared into the crowd under disdainful gazes.
In the crowd, Adam Su and others, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, watched the scene in shock.
They recognized Kunlun Jue and the Vice Palace Master of Celestial Palace but didn’t know who the two elders were or why such powerful figures had a grudge against Vincent Zuo!
Not to mention the two elders who seemed to be in charge, Kunlun Jue alone was a first-turn Immortal Emperor, a super strong figure!
Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless.
They might have some friendship with Vincent Zuo, but it wasn’t worth risking their lives!
“Haha, causing trouble outside the Longevity Tavern and killing so many customers in line—isn’t that going too far?” At this moment, Shane Peng stepped out amidst countless astonished gazes, standing in front of Vincent Zuo and facing Jiang Chu and the others!
Vincent Zuo was taken aback. Wasn’t this the fat man who ruined his plans? What was going on?
Everyone present was equally stunned, increasingly confused about who this fat man was.
Many people recognized this fat man who often wandered outside the Longevity Tavern.
Today’s commotion was full of mysteries, and they were utterly baffled.
Jiang Chu and the others frowned, scrutinizing the unfamiliar fat man, their expressions quickly turning serious!
This fat man was actually an Immortal Emperor!
The Black Fiend Region truly hid many talents. Even in a small town like Qingxuan, such a powerful figure appeared.
“I advise you, Daoist Friend, not to meddle in this matter. Even if you are an Immortal Emperor, some things are beyond your control. Be careful… you might lose your life,” Jiang Chu said with a faint smile.
As these words fell, the crowd erupted in shock!!
Countless astonished gazes turned to Shane Peng!
This usually cheerful fat man was actually an Immortal Emperor?!
Moreover, the elder’s casual tone suggested he was also an Immortal Emperor?
Immortal Emperors were rare, yet two appeared today?
Vincent Zuo looked at Shane Peng’s back, his face pale. No wonder this fat man looked down on him that day… it all made sense now.
Shane Peng laughed, “Beyond my control? Just the two of you second-turn Immortal Emperors and him, a first-turn Immortal Emperor?”
The Vice Palace Master’s face turned awkward. The fat man didn’t even count him in, openly looking down on him…
Three Immortal Emperors, plus this fat man, made four Immortal Emperors! The crowd was utterly stunned!
Jiang Chu and the others’ eyes narrowed upon hearing this. From his words, they realized this fat man’s level was likely much higher than theirs!
But he wasn’t afraid. The power behind him gave him confidence!
Jiang Chu said, “Daoist Friend, if you don’t meddle today, our Jiang Imperial Clan would be willing to befriend you…”
Jiang Imperial Clan!
These words were like a massive wave crashing over a calm sea, shaking everyone to their core!
Today’s matter involved such a significant force, even the legendary Imperial Clan appeared…
Even the usually calm Shane Peng’s pupils contracted sharply!
His eyes wavered with hesitation.
At this moment,
Tap, tap, tap… Light footsteps suddenly sounded.
A figure in cyan cloth walked out from the courtyard, followed closely by Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin.
“The innkeeper…”
Everyone was startled.
Ambrose Lu’s gaze swept over the bodies on the ground, then looked at Jiang Chu and the others,
“On my turf, killing my customers—even if you are Immortal Emperors, you must pay with your lives.”
As these words fell, everyone was stunned, then felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
In the Black Fiend Region, where people were usually cold-hearted, they had never been so dominantly protected by anyone.
Being a customer of the innkeeper felt truly good.
