Chapter 648 Domineering and Tyrannical Nature is His True Colors (Part 2)
Zhao Qian walked from the city gate of Wushi City to the entrance of Huxiao Hall countless times, each time with a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Because along the way, all the mortals and cultivators who saw him, the deputy hall master of Tiger Roar Hall, would respectfully bow to him.

This is not only because of the power of Tiger Roar Hall, but also because this city needs Tiger Roar Hall.

The Seventy-Two Kingdoms are unlike the Central Plains; they have always been overrun by demons. If the human world in the Central Plains is on the verge of collapse, then the human world in the Seventy-Two Kingdoms has long since become a battlefield of carnage.

Every month, wandering monsters would rush to the vicinity of the city, and within a few days, they would cause a disturbance with vengeful ghosts and spirits.

Without the Tiger Roar Hall maintaining order inside and outside the city, this place would be like Anguo, where mortals would be reduced to livestock for demons, and the entire country would become a never-ending slaughterhouse.

Zhao Qian has always acted arrogantly, uprightly, and with a clear conscience.

Today, however, he felt like he couldn't move his legs.

Because there was a pair of cold eyes behind him, he could sense that the mysterious Zuo Lengchan was gathering anger.

Although he didn't know where the anger came from, Zhao Qian was truly afraid.

This is probably because of the humiliation that Zuo Lengchan had just inflicted on him.

It stems from the fear of the unknown.

The reason Zhao Qian was wandering around the city gate was because he saw the unique radiance of the Star Chariot when it broke through the nine heavenly gates.

He had never ridden a star raft, but he knew that it was a magical artifact possessed only by sects like the Qingxu Sect, which allowed one to travel the world and delve into the void.

Those who can arrive by starship must be extraordinary figures, and extraordinary figures are accompanied by opportunities.

So he went to wait near the city gate, but what he encountered was a demon.

Now that this fiend has set his sights on the Tiger Roar Hall's business, Zhao Qian is very worried. The big shot who arrived on the star raft might just be Zuo Lengchan behind him.

What is the purpose of this person's visit?

The streets of Wushi City are very wide, and the ground is paved with neatly cut bluestone slabs, which is enough to prove that the city took a lot of effort to build back then, and it is still well maintained today.

Su Che entered through the city gate without being stopped or questioned by any ghostly messengers. This showed that the Eight-Armed Ghost King from Daqingshan was indeed in a position of ruling over Wushi City, just as Zhao Qian had said.

This may also explain why the conflict between Tiger Roar Hall and Thunderclap Sect and Chaotic Soul Sect has been escalating.

Since these ghosts have no intention of sacrificing the entire city in blood, these gangs and factions will naturally continue to fight for power and profit.

Zhao Qian staggered to the entrance of Tiger Roar Hall.

This place is not far from the city gate. The road in front of the gate is very clean. The courtyard wall is several feet high. On both sides of the gate is a black jade lion statue with bared teeth and claws. The plaque in the center of the gate reads "Tiger Roars in All Directions".

As soon as Zhao Qian arrived at the door, a smartly dressed cultivator came out to greet him.

"Master Zhao, you're finally back! Madam Sun and Master Lü have been looking for you several times, afraid that you'd run into those good-for-nothings from the Chaotic Soul Sect."

As the cultivator spoke, he kept glancing at Su Che behind Zhao Qian.

"Go and call them to the hall to speak."

Zhao Qian gave an order in a rather irritable manner.

"Mr. Zuo, please come in."

Zhao Qian respectfully raised his hand, and led the way for Su Che with a half-bow posture.

"Looks like you're still not giving up."

Su Che looked at him and said, half-jokingly, "You think three Divine Realm experts can defeat me?"

"The villain dare not."

Zhao Qian shivered.

"You'd better be bolder."

Su Che said slowly.

The main hall of Tiger Roar Hall was much as Su Che had imagined. It was a rather spacious hall, somewhat similar to the main hall of a temple, with high ceilings and wide open spaces on both sides. However, there were few furnishings in the hall, except for an offering table at the head of the table with a memorial tablet on it. The tablet was inscribed with the four seal characters "Loyalty, Filial Piety, Benevolence, and Righteousness".

On either side of this offering table are four armchairs, which is where Tiger Roar Hall used to hold meetings.

Su Che casually chose a grand chair and sat down, while Zhao Qian stood respectfully below with his hands clasped, eyes downcast and not uttering a sound.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, I heard you found a master to help you. It's all thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have any ideas."

Before anyone arrives, laughter is heard.

A dignified woman, dressed in a light purple palace gown, with a smile in her eyes, carefully walked in from outside the door. As soon as she entered, her eyes first swept over the respectful Zhao Qian, and then turned to Su Che, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"This is Mr. Zuo."

Zhao Qian bowed to Su Che: "Yao Qin, please don't be rude."

The woman in palace attire covered her mouth and smiled.

"Yao Qin met Mr. Zuo. He has a truly dignified demeanor."

Su Che looked her up and down, but didn't say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes and leaned back in the armchair.

"Mr. Zuo, I don't know where you are..."

As Yao Qin spoke, she swayed her steps toward Su Che's side, but Zhao Qian's shout interrupted her.

"This Mr. Zuo is a master of the Core Formation Realm, how can he be so rude?"

"Why are you being so fierce? Our sect leader is also at the Core Formation stage..."

Yao Qin pouted, her peach blossom eyes full of laughter, and raised her hand, taking another step closer.

It can happen from the elbow or armpit.

pat.

A crisp sound rang out in the hall.

"what……"

Yao Qin reached out to touch her hair, and before she knew it, a hairpin she had been wearing on her head had been broken in two and lay on the ground. Her black hair fell down in a mess, like a waterfall.

Before she could react, a figure appeared in front of her like a ghost.

Su Che reached out and pinched her chin, pulling it upwards so that she could see her own eyes.

"You look much better in this messy state."

After saying that, Su Che gently pushed her chest, and she was pushed back several steps by a magical force, standing directly next to Zhao Qian.

Swallowing hard, Yao Qin's body trembled slightly.

She had no idea what Zuo Lengchan had just done, just like an ordinary mortal.

In other words, if Zuo Lengchan had really made a move, she would already be decapitated.

How could this not be alarming for the powerful cultivator who usually held considerable influence in Wushi City?

Heavy footsteps sounded again outside the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

The heavy iron boots pounded on the ground like the beating of war drums.

A tall figure walked in from outside the door. He was a tall man wearing a heavy stone armor and with a thick beard on his charcoal-black face.

He glanced at Yao Qin and Zhao Qian, who looked as if their bones had been broken, frowned slightly, and silently stood beside them. Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee and bowed.

"This junior student, Shi Meng, pays his respects to the True Man."
