Chapter 1380: Chapter 1377: Chu State Wan Clan (First Update)
Wan Gaoxing stood on the small-town square, his face as dark as iron. In front of him was a massive pit, with tree trunks and branches scattered all around its edges.
No one dared to speak. All the attendants standing behind him lowered their heads, frozen with fear, not even daring to utter a sound.
"Who did this?" Wan Gaoxing’s voice was as cold as ice.
The attendants exchanged glances nervously. Finally, the one standing in the front stepped forward and said in a low voice, "We haven’t found out yet!"
BANG!
With a muffled sound, the attendant was instantly slapped away, flying to the ground where he struggled to get up after a long while.
"Who did this?!" Wan Gaoxing’s voice was filled with boundless fury.
Everyone started trembling.
Among the Ghost Race, those of high status held the power of life and death, leaving them no room for resistance.
At this moment, an attendant cautiously stepped forward and said, "Young... Young Master, while we don’t know who is responsible, I can smell traces of the Human Clan here!"
"The Human Clan?" Wan Gaoxing frowned slightly.
"Yes, the Human Clan!" The attendant nodded affirmatively.
"Excellent! It seems these Humans still haven’t learned their place and dare to stir up trouble?" Wan Gaoxing gritted his teeth, his face full of rage.
He suddenly raised his head and said coldly, "What are you standing around for? If it’s the Humans who did this, they’re likely still nearby. Search the area immediately for any Human gatherings!"
"Yes!" The attendants responded in unison and disappeared into the shadows, scattering to search.
Wan Gaoxing remained standing before the pit, slowly squatting down to observe the withered, decayed roots left in the hole. His face was icy cold.
"No matter who you are, you’re dead this time!"
As someone who had traveled across dimensions and become a member of the wealthy Wan Clan in Chuzhou City, Wan Gaoxing certainly wasn’t here for a mere tree king.
He had come for the Fang Ancient Mirror.
The Fang Ancient Mirror had once been in Chuzhou City, but due to various circumstances, it ended up elsewhere and, by sheer chance, landed in the possession of the town’s tree king.
Ridiculously, the town’s tree king couldn’t recognize its worth and just discarded it casually.
However, Wan Gaoxing knew the value of the Fang Ancient Mirror. After exhausting all means, he managed to trace its whereabouts to this place, only to find himself a step too late—the town’s tree king was dead, and the Ancient Mirror was naturally gone.
This was enough to enrage the proud Wan Clan scion.
For this expedition, he had brought along the elite of his family’s forces.
It didn’t take long before an attendant returned with a report.
"Young Master, a thousand miles away from here, there is a small village with signs of Human activity. Additionally, there are also many native Ghost Race inhabitants there!"
Wan Gaoxing’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Oh? Native Ghost Race?"
"That’s correct!"
Wan Gaoxing let out a sinister laugh. "These useless remnants are still hanging around? Very well, this time, I’ll deal with them all together! Who told them to be unlucky enough to cross me?"
"Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, in the village.
Ying Ning spoke in a low tone, "Yuan’er, are you sure about what you’ve said?"
Que Wenyuan nodded. "Absolutely!"
The room fell silent.
Present were members of both the Human Clan and the Ghost Race, all of them the finest from the entire village.
After the feast, Xue An had gone to rest, while Ying Ning gathered everyone and questioned Que Wenyuan in detail about the recent events again.
Even though it wasn’t their first time hearing it, the group still felt a chill down their spines.
To uproot a fully matured and awakened demon tree with one hand—how terrifying must such strength be!
Que Wenyuan, noticing the somber atmosphere and Ying Jie’s thoughtful expression, couldn’t help but ask, "Ying Jie, is something wrong?"
Ying Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly. "It’s not that something is wrong—it’s just that I can’t figure it out!"
"Can’t figure out what?"
"I can’t figure out who this Xue Gongzi truly is or what he intends to do!"
Que Wenyuan’s eyes widened. "Is that really important?"
Ying Ning nodded. "It’s extremely important! Based on what you’ve described, this Xue Gongzi’s strength has clearly reached a frightening level, surpassing even what we had before our power waned! But here’s the problem."
"If he’s so powerful, why has there been no sign of him or his reputation before?"
This question left Que Wenyuan stunned as well. "Indeed! How could there be no trace of him? Could it be...?"
Que Wenyuan suddenly realized something and looked at Ying Ning with a horrified expression.
Ying Ning nodded. "That’s right. I suspect he also came from outside this dimension!"
Everyone was shaken, their hearts filled with shock.
From another dimension....
Although it sounded unbelievable, it was the most logical explanation at the moment.
"But what does it matter if he came from another dimension?" Que Wenyuan muttered softly.
Ying Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly. "It’s not necessarily bad to come from elsewhere, but the current state of our world is extraordinarily complex. The Ghost Race from other realms has been relentlessly encroaching on the lands of us native Ghosts, eventually overtaking us and forcing us to retreat to desolate backwaters. And now, a mysterious Human has entered the fray—we naturally have to think carefully about this."
Her expression grew serious. "Otherwise, no one can predict what might happen!"
Just as she finished speaking, a soft laugh came from outside the room. "Well said!"
The group gasped quietly and turned their heads to see Xue An walking in, smiling faintly.
"A bit overly cautious, perhaps, but your words do have merit!"
Ying Ning’s expression shifted several times before she slowly stood up and gave an elegant bow. "Xue Gongzi, I...."
Xue An waved his hand lightly. "I didn’t intend to eavesdrop. I just happened to come over to discuss something and overheard by coincidence."
He smiled slightly. "You really don’t need to be so tense. My arrival poses no harm to you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have saved Yuan Niang earlier."
Que Wenyuan blushed slightly but boldly stole a glance at Xue An.
Ying Ning nodded. "We understand that. It’s just...."
"You’re worried about why I’ve come here, aren’t you?" Xue An chuckled, then lifted his gaze toward the sky outside the window. "Are all your people present? Is anyone missing?"
Ying Ning froze, then shook her head. "No, everyone is here!"
"In that case, I assume the crowd outside must be troublemakers looking for a fight?"
Just as Xue An finished speaking, a massive black cloud surged in, and atop it appeared Wan Gaoxing’s figure. He gazed down coldly at the small village below, sneering.
"Those inside, aren’t you going to come out and greet me?"
