Forcing His Way into the Wang Family

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the Temporal Temple's protection period was over.

The instant the flow of time returned to normal, Zhou Zheng felt everything around him become normal again. Turning his head, he saw a bustling street crowded with people.

If the Temporal Temple's teleportation was not random, then this should be Black Wind City, where the Wang Family mentioned in the mission was located.

"We only arrived half a day earlier than the other team, and that newly advanced Transcendental could arrive at any time. So the two of you must move quickly. The faster you are, the easier this mission will be for us!" A voice suddenly rang out.

The speaker was a fat man, none other than Demon Herc in disguise.

On the other side of Herk stood a cloaked figure. It was the God Realm lifeform Jit.

"Understood."

Zhou Zheng nodded calmly. He gestured to Feng Zhu Hong, and the two vanished into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The Wang Family was the overlord of Black Wind City.

Zhou Zheng and Feng Zhu Hong casually made inquiries and learned much about the Wang Family. Their acts of bullying men and women aside, what mattered most to them was the Wang Family's strength.

According to the information they had obtained, the Wang Family had three King-level experts and one old monster Transcendental.

King-level expert was likely one of the classifications for the mortal realms in the Nine Yuan World. Barring any surprises, it should also be the Mortal Sixth Tier.

Different Material Worlds had different classifications for mortal realms.

For example, Zhou Zheng and Feng Zhu Hong were considered to be at the same realm, but Zhou Zheng was Title-level while Feng Zhu Hong called himself a Grandmaster. Now that they were in the Nine Yuan World, it was not strange for there to be a third title.

"That Transcendental of the Wang Family is somewhat unusual!" Feng Zhu Hong said. "Some say that he was once defeated by a King-level expert. A King-level expert is equivalent to a Grandmaster in my homeland. I cannot imagine a Transcendental being defeated by a Grandmaster!"

"It is indeed strange. The Temporal Temple's mission is for us to protect the Wang Family, but if the Wang Family has a Transcendental, they should not fear a newly advanced Transcendental!" Zhou Zheng nodded. "Either that newly advanced Transcendental is absurdly powerful, or the Wang Family's Transcendental is not a true Transcendental at all!"

"A Pseudo-Transcendent?" Feng Zhu Hong said thoughtfully.

"Looks like your homeland has such beings as well!" Zhou Zheng smiled. "To become a Transcendental, both the power within one's body and one's physical body must undergo transcendence. A Pseudo-Transcendent takes a shortcut, forcibly transcending only the physical body. While this grants them a Transcendental's lifespan, their strength is not particularly great!"

"In my world, there is a ranking specifically for Title-level experts. Pseudo-Transcendents are only stronger than ordinary Title-level experts. In terms of actual strength, they cannot even make the top hundred!"

"In that case, a true Transcendental, even a newly advanced one, would be enough to easily destroy the Wang Family. That also explains how the Wang Family's Transcendental was once defeated by a King-level expert!" Feng Zhu Hong nodded slightly.

"Let's go to the Wang Family!" Zhou Zheng said.

"Alright!"

Feng Zhu Hong nodded.

The two headed toward the Wang Family. Along the way, Feng Zhu Hong could not help but ask, "Lightning Swordsman, what do you think of the Temporal Temple?"

"The Temporal Temple is undoubtedly a great existence. Once we join the Temporal Temple, as long as we can survive, our futures will be bright. We may even have a chance to become gods!" Zhou Zheng answered without hesitation. Although he was extremely displeased with the Temporal Temple, he certainly would not say it aloud.

The Artifact Spirit of the Temporal Temple could investigate everything that had happened in the Endless Space at any time.

"What about your family? You vanished so suddenly—what will happen to them?" Feng Zhu Hong asked again.

"I have no family."

"..."

Feng Zhu Hong immediately fell silent.

After a while, the two arrived at the Wang Family estate.

It was an incomparably vast and luxurious manor. Its walls stretched as far as the eye could see, awe-inspiring at a single glance.

To possess such a massive estate in a city teeming with people, the Wang Family truly deserved its status as the overlord of Black Wind City.

"What do we do?" Feng Zhu Hong finally spoke again.

"Since we need to be quick, we'll use the simplest and most direct method!" As Zhou Zheng spoke, he strode straight toward the Wang Family.

"You mean to...?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Feng Zhu Hong's face. By then, Zhou Zheng had already reached the Wang Family's gates.

Two exceptionally burly guards immediately stepped forward to stop Zhou Zheng, but in the next moment, both guards were sent flying.

Boom!

Zhou Zheng kicked the Wang Family's gates. The two doors, each weighing ten thousand jin, were kicked open at once.

"Y-you've got some nerve!"

The two guards who had been sent flying stared at Zhou Zheng in disbelief. Then, amid a series of rapid footsteps, dozens of guards rushed over.

"Take him down!"

At the lead guard's command, the dozens of guards formed a battle formation and charged at Zhou Zheng.

With a thought from Zhou Zheng—

Boom!

Terrifying force of heaven and earth descended, and in an instant, all the guards were pressed flat against the ground.

If the gap between Transcendentals and mortals was incomparably vast, then among mortals, the gap between those at the Mortal Sixth Tier—Title-level experts, Grandmasters, King-level experts, and the like—and the lifeforms beneath them was equally immense.

The reason was simple. Breakthroughs before the Mortal Sixth Tier were purely a matter of tempering the body.

However, breaking through to the Mortal Sixth Tier required a sufficiently high Spiritual Realm. Only upon reaching Unity of Heaven and Man could one break through!

Those who attained Unity of Heaven and Man could manipulate the force of heaven and earth.

One relied purely on one's own strength, while the other controlled the force of heaven and earth. How could their power possibly be compared?

In the Xia Clan World, any Title-level expert was said to be capable of holding off an army of a hundred thousand alone.

Any Title-level expert could absolutely crush all other mortal lifeforms.

"King-level..."

Feeling the boundless mighty power pressing down upon them, the Wang Family guards immediately understood.

Zhou Zheng ignored the guards and headed straight into the depths of the Wang Family estate.

A short while later, once Zhou Zheng had gone far away, the guards finally relaxed. At that moment, Feng Zhu Hong followed after him.

"Stop! This is the Wang Family—"

One guard tried to say more, but in the next instant, surging force of heaven and earth descended once again.

The guards, who had only just struggled back to their feet, were pressed down again.

"Another King-level expert..."

All the guards felt bitter, but they were fortunate that no one intended to kill them.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zheng continued deeper into the Wang Family estate, putting every guard he encountered in their place.

At last, a rather burly figure appeared before Zhou Zheng.

"A King-level expert of the Wang Family..."

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Zheng's face. At last, someone respectable had come out.

In the Great Xia World, he had challenged Title-level experts from every quarter until he had no more opponents. He wondered what this world would be like.
