209: The Hua family patriarch came seeking revenge.

“Oh, Tianbao City?”

Hearing this, the old man's expression suddenly paused.

He had just assumed Hua Hong was killed by some Saint Emperor or Quasi-Emperor.

If Hua Hong had perished in Tianbao City, then the matter would become complicated.

Because Tianbao City, as the most prosperous place in Central State, often had Emperor-level powers trading resources there.

If Hua Hong was killed by one of these Emperor-level powers, he could only swallow his anger.

However, since he didn't understand the situation yet, he couldn't draw a conclusion.

But Hua Hong was a junior he had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years, spending countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and effort.

Now that he had died so inexplicably, he absolutely had to investigate.

If it truly was an Emperor-level power, he would be helpless. But if it was some other blind creature, he would grind those fellows to dust to quell the fury in his heart.

The old man stood up and slowly disappeared from the Secret Chamber, preparing to head to Tianbao City to find out the truth.

Tianbao City Teleportation Zone.

This place was covered in dense Teleportation Arrays.

A large number of Cultivators teleported out from here, and a large number of Cultivators teleported in.

On one of the Teleportation Arrays, the figure of the Hua Family Ancestor slowly appeared.

After stepping out of the Teleportation Array.

The Hua Family Ancestor, with a gloomy expression, walked onto the main street, intending to find someone to ask about Hua Hong's situation.

After all, Hua Hong was so famous in Central State; if he perished in Tianbao City, it certainly wouldn't be without a sound.

However, before he could make a move.

Two young men in the Heavenly Venerate Realm standing at the street corner and talking attracted his attention.

“Haha, Brother, let me share an amazing recording with you. Just now on the Gambling Arena, Hua Hong, ranked thirteenth on the Central State Saint King List, stripped down to just his shorts and crawled like a dog on the stage. It was truly spectacular.”

One young man pulled out a Recording Stone and excitedly handed it to the other young man.

After watching it, the second young man immediately cursed.

“Holy crap! This Hua Hong really crawls like a damn dog! Number thirteen on the Saint King List, he actually has the talent for being a dog.”

The two stood there, holding the Recording Stone and joking around happily.

When the old man heard the conversation between the two, he was instantly so furious that smoke seemed to pour from his seven orifices.

He walked up to the two men in extreme rage, and the aura of a Half-step Great Emperor ruthlessly pressed down on them.

“Speak! What exactly happened to Hua Hong? Tell this old man everything, truthfully!”

Facing the Half-step Great Emperor's oppressive might from the old man.

The two Heavenly Venerate young men knelt on the ground, their faces filled with terror.

The young man who had taken out the Recording Stone trembling recounted everything that had happened on the arena stage to the old man.

“Senior, I've told you everything. Please let us go.”

“That's right, Senior, we were just joking around. We didn't mean anything else.”

After the young man finished speaking, the two begged for mercy, their faces full of fear.

They were just sharing some entertaining gossip, yet they hadn't expected to run into such a terrifying old man.

Judging by the old man's demeanor, he was most likely Hua Hong's elder. They were truly unlucky.

“Hmph, daring to insult someone from my Hua Family? You deserve death!” Watching the two begging for mercy, the old man coldly snorted and instantly smacked them into a mist of blood.

Seeing the old man murder people right on the streets of Tianbao City.

The passersby nearby were horrified, all giving the old man a wide berth, afraid they might also be slapped to death.

Although Tianbao City regulations prohibited murder within the city, those Emperor-level powers simply didn't regard this rule seriously.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce would just turn a blind eye.

The fact that this old man dared to kill people here already proved his strength.

“Heh, a genius Saint killing a Saint King? I want to see if you can truly cross realms and kill me, a Half-step Great Emperor?”

After killing the two men.

The Hua Family Ancestor muttered fiercely and headed toward the East City.

He had just seen the scene of Night Owl killing Hua Hong in the Recording Stone.

And the Heavenly Venerate young man had also revealed that after Night Owl left the stage, he and a few others headed toward the East City.

Therefore, he had to go to the East City and find Night Owl.

As for Night Owl's identity, he determined immediately that Night Owl was not affiliated with any Emperor-level power in Central State.

Because among the Emperor-level powers in Central State, there was absolutely no Monstrous Talent like Night Owl who could cross an entire major realm to kill an enemy.

Therefore, today he would make Night Owl wish he were dead.

The Ten Thousand Demon Restaurant in the East City of Tianbao City.

Night Owl and five others were seated on the second floor, at a window seat.

The table in front of them was currently filled with various dishes made from Demonic Beasts, as well as Spirit Wine brewed from rare Spirit Fruits.

“Hehe, these restaurants really live up to their reputation. The dishes they make taste much better than my barbecues.”

Gu Chen picked up unknown pieces of braised Demonic Beast meat one after another, putting them into his mouth, chewing while praising the flavor.

Seeing Gu Chen looking like a starving ghost reincarnated, Night Owl scolded him speechlessly, “Can you eat slower? If others see you, they'll think I'm abusing you and haven't let you eat for hundreds of years.”

“Hehe!”

Hearing Night Owl lecturing Gu Chen.

Mu Xueqing and the others chuckled.

Just as the group was eating with great relish.

The Hua Family Ancestor, passing by downstairs, spotted Night Owl and the others on the second floor immediately.

There was no helping it; Night Owl's blood-red hair was simply too dazzling.

If he couldn't even see that, he might as well be blind.

The Hua Family Ancestor chose not to smash the window and seize them directly.

Instead, he entered through the main entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Restaurant, preparing to go upstairs and capture Night Owl.

Because the Ten Thousand Demon Restaurant was an asset under the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, he dared not damage the Chamber of Commerce's property.

“You killed a member of my Hua Family, and you still dare to eat here? You certainly have guts, don't you?” As he reached the table where Night Owl and the others were seated, the Hua Family Ancestor scanned the six people with a sinister expression.

Since Gu Chen and the five others knew Night Owl, he didn't plan on letting them go either. He intended to capture all six and take them back for proper torture.
