"What is it?"
"Is your royal family going to interfere in this matter?"
Looking at the few people who appeared before them, Chang Li, having seen Princess Zhao's memories, immediately recognized the middle-aged man in front as the Xiling Empire's Empire Lord, Zhao Wuji.
"Senior, please don't misunderstand. That unfilial son deserved to die, and I won't plead for him. Furthermore, all his henchmen in the imperial city are under my control."
"I've come to request that Senior no longer act against those people and hand them over to my royal family for handling. After all, not all of them are bad people; they just followed the wrong master."
Zhao Wuji looked at the disappearing mansion below and the barrier outside the imperial city, knowing that the three people before him were not someone his royal family could deal with.
This was because when Zhao Wuji had summoned the royal ancestor earlier, he had tried to breach the barrier, but it was impossible. He couldn't even send a message out.
Moreover, the royal ancestor had also transmitted a message to him just now, stating that the cultivation levels of the three people before them were unfathomable, and they had no confidence in dealing with them. He urged Zhao Wuji to absolutely avoid offending such powerful individuals.
"The master's order is to kill all of Princess Zhao's henchmen. Will you make way, or will you die with them? I'll give you ten breaths to consider."
Hearing that Zhao Wuji was here to plead for those people, Little Black's cold voice rang out, giving Zhao Wuji ten breaths to consider.
This was a mission assigned by Mu Feiyang, so how could Little Black agree just because of Zhao Wuji's words!
"This..."
"Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Little Black's words stunned Zhao Wuji. He hadn't expected Little Black to be so difficult to deal with. Helplessly, he could only look towards the royal ancestor.
"Senior, could you allow us to experience your strength!"
The strongest Imperial Realm ancestor of the royal family considered for a moment before speaking. Since Little Black's attitude was so firm, he didn't want to offend Little Black and the other two without knowing their strength.
However, he proposed a condition: he wanted to experience their strength. If they couldn't defeat him, then so be it.
If there was an opportunity, his royal family could still try to negotiate. After all, if too many people died in the imperial city at once, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the empire.
His Xiling Empire was only a mid-tier empire in the Azure Dragon Domain, and there were many surrounding powers that could threaten them. If the Xiling Empire fell into chaos, it would be easy for other empires to seize the opportunity to attack.
"Heh heh!"
"You actually want to experience our strength? In that case... I'll use ten percent of my strength to let you experience it."
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you can remain unharmed under ten percent of my strength, then I can hand over Princess Zhao's henchmen to you for handling."
Hearing the old man's words, Little Black said with a bit of amusement. These people were truly amusing!
"Alright!"
Zhao Qingtian's expression was rather grim. Little Black was underestimating him so much, but Zhao Qingtian still suppressed his anger, intending to gauge Little Black's strength first.
"Are you ready?"
"We're ready."
Zhao Qingtian exchanged glances with two other elders. They put several layers of seals around their bodies and then looked at Little Black and the other two with vigilance.
Although Zhao Qingtian was annoyed by Little Black's condescension, he also knew that if Little Black dared to say such a thing, he must not be simple. They also defended themselves with all their might.
Seeing the group defending themselves with all their might, Little Black shook his head and chuckled lightly, then extended his palm and slapped towards them.
Just as Little Black's palm struck out, a massive claw shadow appeared before Zhao Qingtian and the others, pressing down on them.
Bang!
Before Zhao Qingtian and the others could even think about why it was a beast's claw, Zhao Qingtian, along with Zhao Wuji and the other four, were struck by the claw shadow. With a bang, the five of them were smashed to the ground below the imperial city.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Five sounds of spitting blood echoed. Zhao Qingtian and the other four spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the three figures in the sky with terror.
What kind of strength was this? They couldn't even muster the slightest resistance before being struck down by a single claw and injured.
And this was only ten percent of someone's strength. Was it really that terrifying? When did their Xiling Empire have such terrifying powerhouses, and they had no idea?
In fact, Zhao Qingtian didn't know that this wasn't even ten percent of Little Black's strength, but rather half of ten percent. If Little Black hadn't held back some of his power at the end, the five of them would have been killed by Little Black's strike.
"Do you want to experience it again?"
Little Black and the other two landed in front of the five, Little Black said with a faint smile on his face.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Senior. We will no longer interfere with Princess Zhao's henchmen's affairs. However, please grant them a complete corpse!"
Zhao Qingtian quickly got up and bowed. He had clearly felt that Little Black had held back some of his strength, as they had only spat blood and were not severely injured.
"Alright, I can agree to this request of yours."
"Chang Li, Tian Long, make your move!"
Little Black agreed to Zhao Qingtian's request and then gave instructions to the other two. He made the first move himself. However, Little Black only destroyed the souls of those people, without causing any damage to their physical bodies.
This was the most dignified way to die, as if everyone had simply fallen asleep. Chang Li and Tian Long operated in the same manner.
"Let's go!"
The three of them acted simultaneously. It only took a moment to complete. At this moment, tens of thousands of people in the imperial city suddenly collapsed. These were Princess Zhao's henchmen whose souls had been annihilated by the three of them.
Little Black called out, and the figures of the three disappeared from Zhao Qingtian and the other five's sight. When they reappeared, they were already above a village a hundred miles outside the imperial city.
This was where Princess Zhao trained her Death Warriors. The three of them spoke no words, instead each unleashing a palm strike towards the village below.
The Death Warriors within the village had no idea what was happening before they were suddenly annihilated by the three incoming attacks, leaving not a single survivor.
After the three figures vanished from the scene, the entire village suddenly erupted in flames. By the time anyone arrived, only a scorched patch of land remained.
The Heavenly Wolf Sect was located in the northern part of the Xiling Empire, situated on a large mountain shaped like a wolf's head. It was one of the Xiling Empire's top ten second-rank sects.
Its strongest ancestor was at the ninth level of the Grand Unity Realm. Within the top ten second-rank sects, its strength ranked fourth. By all rights, with such power, no one should dare to cause trouble, except perhaps other top ten sects.
But today, something unexpected had occurred. The Heavenly Wolf Sect was currently being slaughtered, and by three young individuals, no less.
Whether it was disciples, elders, or even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, none could withstand even a single move from the three youths.
One black-clothed youth could take the lives of several, even over a dozen people, with a casual wave of his hand. They were utterly incapable of blocking even a fraction of his moves.
On the other side, it was even more terrifying and bizarre. A red-clothed woman of exquisite beauty walked as if strolling through a garden. Yet, one by one, Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples were engulfed by sudden flames.
Such a strange phenomenon caused the Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples to flee at the mere sight of the woman, but it only served to temporarily save their lives.
