Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun Appear

Lin Mian had been keeping the entire area under control, so naturally he would not let Tang San succeed.

His approach did not seem fast. If anything, he looked leisurely and unhurried.

Yet before his voice reached everyone's ears, he was already standing behind Xiao Wu.

With a light tap of his finger toward the purple-black Blue Silver Grass rushing at Xiao Wu, the vine-like strands instantly shattered. A gust of wind scattered the fragments without a trace.

Even Tang San, the master of the Blue Silver Grass, was affected.

The instant the Blue Silver Grass shattered, he too was pinned to the ground like a feeble ant, unable to move in the slightest.

Blood spilled from his mouth.

To Tang San, this pressure was utterly beyond imagination. Before this man, even if he used every trick he had, it would be completely useless.

"Master!"

Seeing Lin Mian arrive, a flicker of joy appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face, and she finally relaxed completely.

After spending these past days together, this master had become a figure as lofty as the heavens in her heart. With him around, she felt safe.

"Master~"

Ning Rongrong called out timidly as well. With her personality, she should have been much livelier, but the hardships of the past few days had made her somewhat afraid of her master, and she did not dare approach him too closely.

"Senior!"

A trace of surprise appeared on Xiao Wu's face. What had just happened was somewhat beyond her expectations.

She had not expected Tang San to truly attack her.

So all those years together had been fake.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun had already shrunk behind Dai Mubai like quails.

When Shrek had been recruiting students, they had personally witnessed this man make a move and knew just how powerful he was.

"You have quite a lot of nerve, attacking my disciples right outside my home. Tell me, what punishment do you want?"

Lin Mian's tone sounded gentle and pleasant, but to Oscar and the others, it was bone-chillingly cold.

This was Dai Mubai's first time seeing the powerful expert Oscar and the others had spoken of.

Such bearing, such conduct—he was certain that Oscar and the others had not exaggerated.

This man was indeed powerful to the extreme.

However, he was not particularly afraid, because he had already figured it out: behind him stood the entire Star Luo Empire.

No matter what, Zhu Zhuqing could not escape his control, because he was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée.

No matter how strong this expert was, could he really stand against an entire empire?

This man was not the legendary His Excellency the Arbiter.

Dai Mubai stepped forward and spoke to Lin Mian.

"Senior, I advise you not to interfere rashly. I am a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and Zhu Zhuqing is my future imperial consort.

"If you insist on interfering, you should first consider whether you can truly oppose the entire Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai felt that these words should perfectly display his unyielding backbone.

Such a performance would surely make everyone see him in a new light.

What he did not expect was that, aside from Oscar and the others, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and even Xiao Wu all looked at him with extremely strange expressions.

Those looks seemed to ask, Are you joking?

For a moment, Dai Mubai felt like a clown.

"The Star Luo Empire? It sounds powerful."

"But that is not a reason for you to act so recklessly before me. Even if the emperor of the Star Luo Empire came himself, he would not dare act so presumptuously before me."

Lin Mian's utterly disdainful voice rang out.

Along with it came the sound of Dai Mubai crashing to the ground.

Lin Mian did not appear to have made a move, yet Dai Mubai seemed to have been struck by the air itself and slammed hard onto the ground.

The insignificant Dai Mubai was not worthy of Lin Mian making a move personally. For Lin Mian, a single word was enough to command the Soul Power between heaven and earth.

"You... you... how arrogant! I am a prince of the Star Luo Empire, yet you dare attack me."

Blood trickled from the corner of Dai Mubai's mouth, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"I told you already: before me, your Star Luo Empire is nothing. If you continue spouting nonsense, I would not mind taking my disciples on a trip to your Star Luo Imperial Palace."

"When that happens, if you want me to leave, your Star Luo Emperor will have to kneel and personally see me off."

"Hahaha, who do you think you are? His Excellency the Arbiter? How dare you boast so shamelessly.

"This is only because we are not in the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, I would make sure you died without a burial place."

Madness appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes. He did not believe that this man truly dared to kill him.

"So you think I should not kill you. In that case, give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Mubai was lifted directly from the ground, as though someone had seized him by the throat and dragged him into the air.

For a moment, Dai Mubai felt incomparably miserable and could not breathe at all.

Only sounds like bursting bubbles came from his mouth.

At that moment, he truly felt death approaching. This man actually dared to kill him?!

"Guard, go save my foolish little brother. He cannot die just yet."

The voice did not come from Oscar, Ning Rongrong, or the others, but from somewhere nearby.

As the voice fell, a six-ring Soul Emperor clad in the uniform of the Star Luo Empire suddenly appeared. Naturally, this Soul Emperor's target was Dai Mubai.

Behind the Soul Emperor stood nearly ten more people, led by a young man and woman.

The man had golden hair draped over his shoulders, slightly sinister purple eyes, and a body taller and more robust than Dai Mubai's. His features were seventy percent similar to Dai Mubai's, while his lazy bearing carried the dominance of one in a high position.

The woman was tall and voluptuous, with skin like creamy white jade. She resembled Zhu Zhuqing by sixty to seventy percent, but their temperaments were completely opposite—Zhu Zhuqing was cool and aloof, while she was seductive and enchanting. Her smile was captivating, and her voice carried an innate charm.

This young man and woman were none other than Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's elder siblings, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

"My dear little brother, I truly did not expect you to be living so miserably in such a small place."

Dai Weisi's mocking voice rang out. Clearly, like Dai Mubai, he had not taken Lin Mian seriously.

As Dai Weisi finished speaking, Zhu Zhuyun's bewitching voice followed.

"My dear little sister, you ran away from home for so long without even sending a letter back. Did you not know your sister was worried about you?"

"But you have truly disgraced our Zhu Clan. You actually took a master in such a small place, and now you cannot even make it home."

"Should your sister praise you for growing up?"

Surprise appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face. She had not expected the sister she least wanted to face to come all the way here.

Dai Mubai's thoughts were the same as Zhu Zhuqing's, but he was now on the verge of death and had no strength left to express them.

"Why does every one of you act like I do not exist? Do I really look that weak?"

"That makes me a little angry!"

Lin Mian looked at the Soul Emperor rushing toward Dai Mubai and shook his head, as though lamenting the man's tragic fate.

Then the Soul Emperor was suddenly sent flying backward. He landed before Dai Weisi and the others, dead on the spot.
