In the capital of the Great Ming Empire, in a bustling street market.
Lu An suddenly frowned slightly. His originally gentle expression suddenly turned cold.
This change couldn't be hidden from the women and the old emperor. Jiang Ni couldn't hide anything and immediately asked.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just an unwilling little bug. It wanted to cause trouble tonight, and we happened to catch up.”
"After shopping for so long, you should be hungry.”
"Find a restaurant to fill your stomach and watch the show.”
Since Lu An had made up his mind, the others naturally had no objections.
The group found a decent restaurant and ordered a few signature dishes. They sat by the window and waited for the show to begin.
Before everyone could wait, the main character appeared as soon as the dishes were served.
A deafening sound came from the city gate.
Half of the city wall collapsed, and the city tower was reduced to rubble.
A large number of soldiers died instantly.
This sudden turn of events broke the peaceful scene in the city.
For a moment, it fell into a strange silence.
A figure descended from the sky and entered his sight.
He was dressed in black and looked to be in his thirties, but his appearance was almost evil and handsome.
Her skin was crystal clear, shining with a dazzling luster. Her nose bridge was straight and high, and her eyes were full of spirit. They were like lightning, hiding a charm that was close to evil.
His entire body emitted an extremely terrifying pressure, as if a demon god had descended into the world.
As soon as he appeared, the city was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. Even the air seemed to have become sticky.
It was Devil Master Pang Ban.
"Today is the birthday of the Great Ming Empress Dowager.”
"With the blood of the entire city, I will send the Empress Dowager to the west and wish Emperor Ming an early death.”
His voice was like a great bell, resounding through the clouds and entering everyone's ears.
The meaning behind his words was even more audacious, arrogant, and domineering. A monstrous killing intent spread out.
It made the depressing atmosphere even more somber and cold.
Pang Ban was decisive in killing and didn't say many harsh words.
After stating his intentions, he immediately made his move.
With a wave of his hand, the restaurants along the street collapsed. Large pieces of rubble flew into the air and transformed into countless sharp weapons.
Wherever it passed, everyone's throats were slit and they died on the spot, blood flowing like a river.
Instantly, the entire city was in an uproar.
The people who were originally playing panicked and scrambled to escape.
They were afraid of being involved in this storm.
The person who came was obviously a god of death.
They didn't even let innocent passers-by off.
In the face of life and death, the prosperity in front of him instantly withered and turned into the most messy side.
At this moment, everyone revealed their true selves.
Some were crying, some were panicking, and some were filled with righteous indignation.
Some of them abandoned their vows of eternal love and turned to flee. There were also people who subconsciously stood in front of the people who were as precious as life.
All kinds of things in the human world were on display.
The restaurant was also in chaos.
Some of them were wailing, while others were running for their lives. In an instant, the building was empty.
Only Lu An and the others, who were standing in the corner of the window, remained calm and composed as they looked down at this change.
"Is this scene lively?"
Lu An took a sip of wine and asked.
Although this wine couldn't be compared to the Linglong Wine, it had a worldly aura.
Lu An was not an extravagant person. He could eat delicacies and wild dishes.
He drank with relish.
"This is indeed a rare show.”
"It's just that it's too cruel to dye the city in blood!”
The women spoke.
They weren't happy about this, but they didn't help either.
After spending so much time with Lu An, they understood him. He was not a busybody.
As long as he wasn't provoked, he could just watch on coldly.
They were not related to these people, so they would not cause trouble for him just because they were hot-headed.
After taking a sip of wine, Lu An looked at Pang Ban, who was on a killing spree, and explained.
"All living beings suffer."
"Countless people die every day in this world.”
"We can't do anything about it. The only thing we can do is live our lives well.”
"The Savior is too tired. I'm a layman and don't have such a big heart.”
"If the world is peaceful for a long time, something will happen.”
"This is a calamity that belongs to the Great Ming Imperial Capital.”
"They need to cross it themselves."
The ladies nodded. They understood this logic.
In the restaurant, Lu An looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
A large number of people rushed over to intercept Pang Ban.
"Your reaction is not slow."
"It's just that it's not enough!"
"Today is the day when the power of the Earthly Immortals will completely bloom in this world.”
"From now on, everyone below the Earth Level Deity realm will be ants and will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.”
………
Within the Imperial Palace.
Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao's expression was extremely gloomy and terrifying.
He had heard Pang Ban's treacherous words just now. All the officials had heard it.
He was too arrogant, too despotic, and didn't put the Daming Empire in his eyes.
If he still had to endure, he was not worthy of being an emperor.
"Mobilize the army, mobilize the royal family's servants, and kill the traitor at all costs.”
"Those who cut off their heads will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Families!”
"Everyone says that an Earth Level Deity cannot be killed. Today, I will kill an Earth Level Deity!”
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would float.
Not to mention an emperor who had his door blocked and his life threatened.
At this moment, all the experts in the Great Ming Imperial Capital were mobilized.
The 200,000 soldiers guarding the Imperial City were mobilized.
They formed an army formation and blocked Pang Ban.
The three Patriarchs of the Imperial Army had been sent to the front to kill the enemy.
At that time, it would be clear who was the traitor.
"Kill them!"
Wherever Pang Ban went, blood flowed like a river and corpses littered the ground.
He was like a god of death.
If a Buddha blocked his way, he would kill the Buddha. If a person blocked his way, he would kill the person!
With a wave of his hand, he reaped lives. In a flash, ten thousand people were killed in the streets.
Killing intent filled the world.
"Evil devils and heretics deserve to be killed!"
"Traitors and traitors should be killed!"
"Infringing on your superiors and causing trouble, you deserve to die ten thousand times!"
Some experts attacked together.
Every single one of them was a deva!
In the end, before he could even get close, he was blown up by Pang Ban, and blood rained down.
Even someone as strong as Ironguts Zhu Budian was heavily injured.
The terror of an Earth Level Deity was fully displayed by Devil Master Pang Ban.
Tens of thousands of people had died tragically, but he was unharmed, as if he hadn't used his full strength.
His expression was calm as he charged through the army.
Stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the white bones behind him were like mountains.
This scene caused everyone to tremble in fear.
They were getting closer and closer to the Imperial City.
More and more people died.
The 200,000-strong army had suffered countless tragic deaths.
The rest were also retreating.
Nearly ten devas had died.
An aura of despair gradually spread out.
In everyone's eyes, Pang Ban was like an invincible demon god, invincible and treating human lives like dirt.
Tada!
The entire city fell into a strange silence. Only his footsteps and the screams of the people could be heard.
As he waved his hand again, a large number of soldiers flew out. A portion of them headed towards the restaurant where Lu An was.
In an instant, the table was overturned, and the cups and plates were in a mess.
Lu An, who was about to pick up some food, was stunned. A rare hint of anger appeared on his cold and otherworldly face.
………
"Doesn't he see that there's someone else here?”
Lu An's cold voice rang out in the restaurant.
The women were silent, and the Old Emperor tried his best to reduce his presence.
Of course, they wouldn't warn him. The moment Pang Ban appeared, Lu An covered everyone's aura.
Although they were in the restaurant, in the eyes of others, this place was empty.
Moreover, they did not believe that Lu An did not know about this.
However, if he wanted to play dumb, they would be happy to play along.
Today, enough people had died.
Although they wanted to stay out of it and watch from the sidelines, they were not cold-hearted.
"Bad appetite, unreasonable!"
"He deserves punishment!"
"It's time for this calamity to end."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu An held his chopsticks and waved them gently in the air.
Pang Ban, who had already reached the palace wall, seemed to have been hit by something and suddenly flew backward.
They flew out of the long street.
Flying out of the Great Ming Imperial Capital.
He flew all the way back to the Demon Master Palace.
He landed on the ground and coughed up blood.
In front of the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
Everyone, who was prepared to fight with their lives, looked at each other in confusion.
Then, there was a sudden burst of excited cheers.
Many people cried tears of joy.
Even though he didn't know what had happened, it was obvious that Pang Ban, who was like a demon god, had been forced back.
The despair that shrouded their hearts was swept away.
The haze lingering over the Great Ming Imperial Capital was blown away.
However, looking at the corpses strewn all over the street, some people could not help but cry.
Too tragic!
Too many people had died in this battle.
Zhu Bujue was helped to his feet. He looked around in bewilderment, feeling uneasy.
There was both the joy of surviving a calamity and the fear of the unknown.
Was the person who had defeated Pang Ban a passerby or an expert who lived in seclusion in the palace?
If it was the former, why did he have to wait until Pang Ban reached the palace before attacking?
If it was the latter, why hadn't he received any news about it before?
………
In the restaurant.
Lu An put down his chopsticks.
His cold gaze landed on the women and the Old Emperor.
"Are you satisfied?"
If it wasn't for these people, that person wouldn't have landed here and ruined his mood.
It was just that he did not expose them at the beginning.
Jiang Ni smiled fawningly.
"If Young Master didn't agree, how could our little tricks have succeeded?”
"In the end, it was Young Master's intention that pushed the boat with the current.”
"Stupid girl!"
Lu An flicked her head in annoyance.
"This matter is over. We should go back.”
With a wave of his hand, he activated Limitless.
In the blink of an eye, they had returned to the top of Motian Cliff.
Looking at Lu An who turned around and walked into the Dao Seeking Palace without saying a word, Mo Shanshan felt uneasy.
"Is Young Master angry?"
Jiang Ni comforted him with an experienced tone.
"Don't worry!"
"Young Master is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.”
"I guess there's something else."
Yu Lian, who had always been quiet, spoke concisely and accurately.
"Every dynasty is not simple. There must be guardians in the dark to maintain the balance.”
"Pang Ban might have become bait and let Young Master discover something.”
Dao Seeking Palace, in a room.
Lu An was indeed not angry.
In his eyes, they were all family.
Since they were family, they could not bear to help in the end. Lu An naturally had to satisfy them.
If it were anyone else, he would not spoil them.
Even if the Great Ming Imperial Capital was razed to the ground, it had nothing to do with him.
Just like what Yu Lian said, he only found the aura of a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert at the end.
Even if he didn't make a move, the Great Ming Imperial Palace would still be safe and sound.
Now, he was just curious and trying to figure out this person's identity.
A moment later, he came to a realization.
"So it's him."
That was not strange!
After that, Lu An started to deduce that other than this Half-step Transcendent expert, there was another person who was even more outstanding in the Daming Empire.
He was very curious if the other party was a supreme transcending expert.
