Ruthless and a man of few words

"Hehe! The Drunken Immortal Pavilion..." Di Chen stood outside, looking it over. "Elder Wang, how about we seize the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and become its owners?" The corners of Di Chen's mouth lifted slightly.

"The forces behind you are so terrifying, Young Master. There is no need to fear this insignificant Misty Rain Pavilion."

The two headed to a private room on the second floor, choosing a spot near the window as usual.

"Young Master, I have to ask! Why do you always like choosing a seat near the window?" Elder Wang

finally could not hold back and asked.

Di Chen glanced at him and said, "What do you know? This is called taste."

Hearing this, Elder Wang curled his lip and said nothing more.

The two quietly drank wine and ate, everything peaceful and tranquil.

In a corner of the first-floor dining hall, a young man stared fixedly at the two figures by the window.

His fists clenched, and his body trembled. "It's you. I've finally caught my chance."

At that moment, the diners on the first floor were deep in discussion...

"Hey, have you noticed that there seem to be more and more black monkeys in Cang City lately? And young girls keep disappearing. It's terrifying."

"A black monkey suddenly dropped dead today. Did you know? No one knows who did it, but anyone who could kill a black monkey without a sound must have unfathomable strength."

"That's ridding the people of a scourge!"

"Ah! If not for that woman back then, how could things have turned out like this, with black monkeys everywhere..."

"Shut up! Are you insane? Don't talk about that. Hurry up, pay, and leave.

"If someone with an agenda spots us later,

"we'll be in trouble."

Hearing this, those people all left.

Knock, knock, knock... Di Chen had been listening, engrossed, when a knock suddenly came at the door.

"Hmm? Who is it?" Di Chen frowned slightly.

"Young Master, sorry to disturb you! I'm the manager of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

"A young lady would like to invite you to lunch. Would you do her the honor?"

"Oh! So that's what this is about. Sorry, I'm not free."

Di Chen refused without hesitation.

The manager froze...

Bang!

The door was pushed open. A beautiful woman stood in the doorway, staring coldly at Di Chen.

Di Chen looked up and saw a woman dressed in green, her features alluring.

But at that moment, she was glaring at him angrily. "I'm not bad-looking, am I? Why do you keep rejecting me, Young Master?"

"Am I really that ugly?" the woman in the green dress demanded huffily. She was none other than Zi Yan, the Holy Maiden of the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"You're not ugly. You have curves in all the right places, snow-white skin, and you're very beautiful. Satisfied?" Di Chen said helplessly.

"Then have lunch with me." Zi Yan blinked her limpid eyes.

Di Chen said, "No need. Women will only get in the way of my invincibility."

With that, Di Chen waved his hand, signaling Elder Wang to see her out.

Zi Yan stamped her foot in anger.

"Just you wait. One day, you'll fall at the hem of my pomegranate skirt," Zi Yan said through gritted teeth.

With that, she left.

"Young Master, the Holy Maiden of the Misty Rain Pavilion isn't bad!" Elder Wang said with a chuckle.

"Mm! She's certainly not bad, but someone wouldn't like it."

Di Chen narrowed his eyes and looked out the window...

Di Chen waved his hand. "All right, enough of that.

"It's time to attend to business, Elder Wang."

Elder Wang replied respectfully, "Yes!"

"Young Master, are you planning to use the forbidden zone's forces to deal with the black monkeys?"

"No need. They're merely black monkeys!" A sharp gleam flashed in Di Chen's eyes.

With that, the two vanished from the private room.

A long while later...

Before them stood

an enormous palace, towering into the clouds, grand and magnificent.

The entire palace was shrouded in mysterious, powerful formations.

Across its plaque, several words were written in strokes like soaring dragons and dancing phoenixes: Cangnan Domain Manor!

A smile curled Di Chen's lips.

"Do it, Elder Wang!" As Di Chen's voice fell, a river of stars appeared across the heavens, dazzlingly brilliant, covering the entire sky.

Hum~

The enormous palace below shuddered violently. Countless formation patterns appeared, turning into streaks of light that soared into the air and merged into the vast river of stars, forming a gigantic vortex.

A pillar of light appeared within the vortex, shooting into the clouds and piercing the heavens.

An ancient, overwhelming pressure swept across heaven and earth, as though a ferocious beast that had slumbered for countless ages was about to awaken.

At the same time, many cultivators inside the Cangnan Domain Manor sensed this power.

"Is someone going to attack their Cangnan Domain Manor?"

The faces of the Cangnan Domain Manor's higher-ups changed drastically, and they quickly summoned everyone in the Cangnan Domain Manor.

Boom! A pillar of light shot down from the vortex in the sky, piercing straight through Cangnan Manor's formation.

The Cangnan Domain Manor was shattered in an instant.

Beam after beam pierced heaven and earth, tearing countless buildings apart.

"Ah!"

The soldiers of Cangnan Manor let out agonized screams. Their bodies turned into clouds of blood.

"Damn it! Who is it? You dare launch a sneak attack on our Cangnan Domain Manor? You're courting death!" Furious roars rang through the nine heavens.

One of the Cangnan Domain Manor's Quasi-Emperors threw back his head and roared, his eyes filled

with towering fury.

His body flickered, and he instantly sped into the distance. He

wanted to find out exactly who had attacked.

A guard contingent made up entirely of black monkeys descended from the void.

They carried black iron staffs, their bodies wreathed in Sha Qi.

There were a full thousand of them, each in the Saint Realm, terrifyingly powerful.

"Look! That old man and that young man are attacking the Cangnan Domain Manor. Just who are they?"

The crowd erupted.

"Good! The soldiers in this Domain Lord's Manor always side with the black monkeys and bully us. They even capture slaves to sell to the black monkeys."

"Someone's finally dealing with them for us today. I wonder

"which Lineage they belong to. This really lets us vent our hatred!"

"Wait, hold on! Why do those two look so familiar?"

someone cried out in surprise.

"Huh! They seem to be the two fellows who attacked the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain!"

The people around them were utterly astonished.

They recognized Di Chen.

"It's them!" Over the past two years, they had heard plenty of news about those two.

"I heard they've already joined the Sword Sect in the Immortal Domain. Could the Sword Sect have ordered this?"

They were stunned.

"That can't be, can it? They say the forces in the Immortal Domain are very complicated. The Sword Sect wouldn't concern itself with matters in the ten great Dao Domains.

"Besides, those two only joined recently. How could they mobilize the Sword Sect's forces?"

The people of the Cangnan Domain Manor also roared in fury.

"Damn it! Who sent you? You actually dare attack our Cangnan Domain Manor?

"Are you courting death?"

Angry shouts rang out. The Quasi-Emperor expert

charged out.

His eyes blazed with killing intent.

"There are always people in this world who have no idea of their own limits!" Elder Wang shook his head indifferently.

An icy gleam erupted in his eyes. He took one step, and like a bolt of lightning, instantly appeared before the Quasi-Emperor.

Boom! A punch struck the Quasi-Emperor in the face, sending him flying.

With a crack, half his face caved in.

The Quasi-Emperor screamed, blood pouring from his mouth.

"Who are you?" the Quasi-Emperor roared repeatedly.

Elder Wang said indifferently, "You aren't qualified to know my identity."

"Elder Wang! Keep him alive!" Di Chen's voice came over.

Elder Wang nodded upon hearing this.

Then he slammed a palm viciously against the Quasi-Emperor's dantian.

"Ah!" The Quasi-Emperor screamed. His dantian shattered, his soul was damaged, and he became a cripple.

"Who exactly are you?" the Quasi-Emperor roared.

The onlookers were scared witless at the sight.

"That's terrifying.

"He took down a Quasi-Emperor instantly with just one move. He's too powerful."

Seeing this, another contingent of black monkey guards

turned and fled.

"Hmph! A pack of beasts, and you think you can run?" Elder Wang snorted coldly.
