At Wutong Zhai, the Patrol Guards' cultivation was all on the Eternal Pathways.
The highest among them had reached the Heaven's Mandate Realm.
Even in the entire Yunlan Realm, they could be considered middle-tier figures.
Those on the Path to Becoming an Ancestor were already great personages of the Yunlan Realm.
And in Green Frost Continent, only a small fraction of cultivators had truly set foot on the Path to Becoming an Ancestor.
The overwhelming majority of cultivators in the world were not even qualified to tread the Eternal Pathways.
From this, one could imagine that every Patrol Guard of Wutong Zhai was no ordinary person.
Yet now, Ying Lu had casually struck and slain multiple Patrol Guards. Who would not be shocked by such bloody methods?
The most terrified was Blazing Flame.
He had not knelt and begged for mercy, but he had already been frightened to the verge of collapse.
Even if he cracked his skull open, he never would have imagined that the new Patrol Envoy he had regarded as a good-for-nothing would become so terrifying once he bared his fangs.
Seeing Ying Lu's icy gaze turn toward him, Blazing Flame shuddered all over. Unable to suppress the terror in his heart any longer, he cried out, "Lord Hong, please save my life!"
Blazing Flame turned and looked at Hong Zhu among the seats, his face filled with pleading.
Hong Zhu took a deep breath, rose to his full height, and looked at Su Yi. "Lord Jun Du, could you give my Hong Family Ancient Clan some face and grant Blazing Flame a living path?"
Su Yi could not help but laugh. "A Patrol Guard of my Wutong Zhai needs your Hong Family Ancient Clan to plead for him? This is truly the greatest joke under heaven."
