The Wang Family's Fury, a Mighty Expert's Gift, and Leaving Without a Trace Once the Deed Was Done

On the Boundary battlefield of Demon Capital, the deathly silence continues to spread.

That once arrogant and invincible Lingtai Demon King was reduced to a sky full of black ash.

The Sun Grade investigators, the patriarchs of the three major families, and the remaining soldiers of the Defense Army stared blankly at the black-clad youth who casually withdrew his hand in mid-air. A storm raged in everyone's hearts.

"Is this... is this Heavenly Immortal descending to earth?" A soldier covered in blood murmured to himself, his legs buckling, and he involuntarily knelt down.

Immediately following, as if by a domino effect, thousands upon thousands of human martial artists knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with fanaticism and extreme awe.

In their eyes, the person who wiped out 100,000 demonic beasts in an instant and crushed the Lingtai Demon King with his bare hands is the savior of the Great Xia!

"Your Excellency possesses divine power! The Great Xia will forever be grateful for your kindness!"

Sun Grade investigator, accompanied by several powerful beings at the Sea of Consciousness level, flew forward with utmost humility and bowed deeply. Their voices trembled slightly; faced with an existence that completely transcended their comprehension, any air of superiority seemed laughable.

Dongfang Yueming looked at them calmly, ignoring their flattery. He was only here to deal with the disgusting sources of pollution from the Primordial Sea and, incidentally, gather some intelligence on the Demon Cave.

Just then...

A staggering white streak flew from the horizon; it was none other than the Wang Family patriarch, a [Spirit Platform Realm] cultivator who had been severely injured by the Demon King in the heavens.

Elder Wang's face was ashen, and lingering demonic energy remained in his chest. He was helped down to the ground, his gaze turning to Dongfang Yueming with a complex expression.

"Thank you... for saving me, senior." Elder Wang coughed up a mouthful of black blood and struggled to bow.

However, before he could even bend down...

An official in charge of rear communications stumbled over, his face ashen.

"Lord Sun Grade expert! Elder Wang! Something... something has happened in Central Capital!"

"What's all the fuss about?!" The Sun Grade investigator frowned. The monster tide had subsided; what major event could possibly occur in Central Capital?

The communications officer swallowed hard, glanced at Dongfang Yueming in mid-air with fear, and then whispered a few words in a trembling voice to the Sun Grade investigator and Elder Wang.

"What did you say?!!"

Elder Wang's originally ashen face instantly turned bright red, his eyes bulged, and a surge of violent Spirit Platform Realm true energy almost erupted uncontrollably!

"Teng'er... Teng'er is dead?! His soul is completely annihilated?!"

Wang Teng, the only son of the Wang Family! His most beloved great-grandson, the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty! And he was actually murdered in the rear of Central Capital?!

"Who?! Who did this?! I will tear him to pieces!!!" Elder Wang was furious, the grief of losing his loved one had almost made him lose his mind.

The communications officer was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, trembling all over as he pointed at Dongfang Yueming in mid-air.

"Reporting to Elder Wang, the news from Central Capital is... it was this great senior who personally brought Young Master Wang..."

"Boom!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, violently poured onto Elder Wang's burning anger.

He froze, staring incredulously at the black-clad youth who had just saved his life and casually crushed the Lingtai Demon King.

The one who killed his great-grandson was actually this unfathomable and mysterious powerhouse?!

If it were anyone else, Elder Wang would have risked his life to seek revenge. But...

Faced with Dongfang Yueming, what means did he have to seek revenge?

He couldn't even defeat that Lingtai Demon King, and that demon king couldn't even last a single move against Dongfang Yueming! Going up there would only be suicide! Moreover, once he angered this powerful figure, not only him, but the entire Wang Family, and even the entire Great Xia government, could be wiped out with a flick of their wrist!

The air seemed to freeze.

Even the Sun Grade investigators held their breath, cold sweat pouring down their backs. They were terrified that Elder Wang's impulsive actions might bring annihilation upon the Great Xia Dynasty.

"How?"

Dongfang Yueming looked down at Elder Wang, his voice calm and utterly emotionless, "You want to avenge your scumbag great-grandson?"

"Old man..."

Elder Wang's lips trembled violently. Faced with immense grief and overwhelming power, his aged back finally bent down in utter humiliation and helplessness.

"This old man... dares not."

Elder Wang closed his eyes tightly, two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks. "Teng'er... he's spoiled and arrogant, committing countless evils. I've heard of him before, but I've neglected to discipline him. Today he offended you, senior, and deserves to die... It's all my fault for failing to teach him properly. You acted on behalf of Heaven, senior. I... I thank you for your great kindness."

Upon uttering these words, Elder Wang seemed to age ten years in an instant. For the sake of the Great Xia and the survival of his family, he could only swallow this Xue Hai and even had to take the initiative to apologize.

This is the harsh reality in the face of absolute power.

"Snort."

Dongfang Yueming snorted coldly, showing no interest in such hypocritical pleasantries.

He hadn't originally intended to kill them all; he just wanted the old man to stay out of trouble.

"Since you believe I saved you," Dongfang Yueming looked at the Sun Grade investigator and Elder Wang, "Then produce something tangible. I don't want your gratitude."

The Sun Grade investigator was extremely shrewd. He quickly took out a top-level purple-gold resource card from his storage ring and presented it with both hands. "Senior, this is the highest-level access card of the Great Xia Night Watchers. It can mobilize all official regular resources. Please accept it."

Elder Wang gritted his teeth and solemnly took out a tattered ancient book from his bosom. The book was made of an unknown material and exuded an ancient aura.

"Senior, I know that mortal things are beneath your notice. This ancient book was brought out of an ancient ruin many years ago after I narrowly escaped death. Inside... it contains some fragments about the [Above Soul Condensation] realm. Consider it my... apology to you."

Upon hearing "above the Soul Condensation," a glimmer of light finally appeared in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

He made a grabbing motion in the Xukong, taking the tattered ancient book into his hand, and quickly scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Although it was badly damaged, it did contain some information that he needed.

"You're smart to know your place."

Dongfang Yueming put away the ancient book and the purple-gold card, without giving these people another glance.

He turned around, his left hand naturally encircling Hong Gui's alluring waist, while his right hand domineeringly wrapped around Baihu.

"Let's go find a quiet place."

"Buzz!"

With the roar of the [Taixu Roaming Dragon Heaven-Surpassing Steps], the purple-gold light once again tore through the night sky.

Amidst the awe and complex gazes of hundreds of thousands of people.

Dongfang Yueming, accompanied by two peerless beauties, left without a trace after completing his task, disappearing completely from the Boundary battlefield.
