Chapter 970: Chapter 970 - 440: Landlord Arc - Final Dance_2
"Lord, what is the meaning of this!?"
"Qianshu, explain yourself! Otherwise, we elders will not go back with you!"
[Zuo Qianshu]’s suggestion wasn’t accepted by everyone. Regardless of the cost, the Zuo Family was determined to obtain firsthand information on such a significant matter.
But this time, [Zuo Qianshu] was resolute, looking directly at the elders and speaking coldly.
"As the heir of the Zuo Family’s legacy, I order everyone to immediately return to the Zuo Family with me and request the ancestor to come out!"
Once the words were spoken, everyone in the Zuo Family was stunned on the spot.
After they reacted...
"What?!"
"Zuo Qianshu, have you gone mad!"
"It’s not yet time for the ancestor to emerge. Can you take responsibility for forcibly asking the ancestor to come out?"
"Disturbing the ancestor’s cultivation is a grave taboo! Even as the heir to the legacy, if anything goes wrong, you will be expelled from the Zuo Family!"
Chatter... chatter!!!
The noise of the crowd was nothing but irritating noise to [Zuo Qianshu]!
A bunch of stubborn, ignorant fools who don’t even know what’s happening over there!
"Shut up, all of you!!!"
[Zuo Qianshu] roared suddenly, instantly overpowering everyone present.
Coldly scanning the surroundings, he said firmly.
"I’ll shoulder all the responsibility alone! Now, heed my order and return to the Zuo Mansion! Request the ancestor to come forth!"
Boom!!!
Accompanied by another distant explosion, the ground shook continuously, and the people of the Zuo Family finally suppressed their opinions and followed [Zuo Qianshu] back towards the direction of the Zuo Family!
Meanwhile, three streets away from the Zuo Family’s group, two women were running frantically on foot in the pouring rain.
Against the wind, the rain battered the two women, their hair sticking wetly to their scalps, but neither showed any sign of stopping.
"This way... it’s this direction!"
Ding Hui took a turn, leading Diao Ruru towards the street on the right.
Watching Ding Hui run ahead, Diao Ruru found it difficult to keep up. Her strength was far inferior to Ding Hui’s, and for some reason, the more she practiced these days, the more exhausted she felt. She was nearing her limit.
But remembering Diao Deyi, her kin, who needed her rescue, Diao Ruru gritted her teeth and kept up with Ding Hui.
"Doctor Ding, how are you certain Diao Deyi is in this direction? The commotion just now clearly came from the opposite way..."
Gasping for breath, Diao Ruru asked while running.
"...The medicine. He took the Medicine Pill I prepared for emergencies. I made a little adjustment so that a trace of his aura remains, allowing me to track him."
Ding Hui didn’t pause in her steps, nor did she look back at Diao Ruru, stating directly: "Since he’s decided to fight desperately, it must be extremely perilous. We need to rescue him! Right?"
"Right!"
At all costs! Even at the risk of life!
Diao Ruru nodded vigorously, continuing to sprint through the torrential rain.
...
Surrounded by a curtain of blood rain.
All humans, all demons, stared in shock at the man who appeared from the pouring blood rain.
In an instant.
Just an instant.
The Blood Ball Barrier burst open with a huge gap, turning into a sky full of blood rain.
Then, this man appeared out of thin air.
"Hu...man?"
The hidden demon, shrouded in a massive shadow, hesitantly looked at the newcomer.
No mistake, whether from aura or any aspect, this was... a human! Impossible to be a demon!
"...It is a human."
Standing atop the three-headed Blood Dragon, the Li Family Ancestor confirmed with a complex expression.
But judging by the three heads of the Blood Dragon baring their teeth in a vigilant stance... it seemed the Li Family Ancestor was not allied with this person.
"Hu, human??!"
After a moment of bewilderment, the remaining living members of the Li Family shouted excitedly.
"It’s a human! The newcomer is a human!"
"Reinforcements! There are reinforcements!"
"Kill, kill, kill! My lord, they are all demons, please slay the demons!"
Just as the Li Family members were about to speak more, they suddenly noticed...
All the demons around them suddenly kneeled towards the blue-clad man ahead.
The remarkably synchronized movement, the dense demon crowd all kneeling towards a human, left the Li Family members’ minds blank.
What... just happened?
Why are the demons... bowing to that guy?
Isn’t he human?
Yes, he’s human! That’s right, even the ancestor confirmed he’s human, so he can’t be anything else!
But why are the demons all...
Thud!
The Shu Bird Demon kneeled, wings falling at its sides, head bowed low.
"Lord Lan..."
A hand stroked its bird head, then moved on to the next Demon Leader.
That was the Blood Sea Demon.
"Lord Lan, you’ve finally returned!"
Lord Lan walked past it, stepping into the air, as if walking on invisible steps, ascending step by step into the heights.
"Welcome back, Lord Lan!"
"Welcome back, Lord Lan!"
The Heart Burning Demon and the once-revealed True Demon form of the Destructive Demon both kneeled towards Lord Lan.
And at this moment, ascending the steps, Lord Lan stood between the Hidden Demon and the Li Family Ancestor.
The situation of a tripartite balance abruptly took shape!
Lord Lan first looked towards the Li Family Ancestor.
That hedgehog-like demeanor, unconsciously baring teeth, reflected in Lord Lan’s eyes, brought a slight curve to the corner of his mouth.
"Long time no see, Xiao Lizi."
"...How are you not dead yet, old fool!"
The two, surprisingly, knew each other!!
