Chapter 408: Do You Dare Ride in a Convertible?
The sun shone brightly in the sky when suddenly, a ray of rosy light pierced through the heavens, forming an incredibly clear image.
“Look! It’s the Heavenly Dao Image!”
Instantly, everyone noticed, and some pointed toward the sky, attracting even more attention.
No one seemed surprised; it was clearly a common occurrence.
“I suppose the Enforcers have something important to announce?”
Someone muttered to themselves, garnering agreement from many.
For major powers, activating the Heavenly Dao Image was not a big deal; any first-rate sect could do it.
However, in Central Continent, right by the Chief Enforcement City, the Heavenly Dao Image couldn’t just be turned on at will.
To avoid disturbing the public and preventing brainwashing by cults, other factions wanting to activate the Heavenly Dao Image must first report to the Enforcers, and the Enforcers had to inform the public in advance, adhering to the rules.
Since the people had not received a notification from the Enforcers, they concluded that this Heavenly Dao Image was indeed the work of the Enforcers.
But reality always surprised people; just as everyone speculated about what the Enforcers would announce, suddenly eighteen strong warriors appeared in the image.
They stood in two rows, solemn and respectful.
This formation resembled one waiting for a significant figure’s arrival.
“All eighteen of these are Sage-level warriors!”
An elder with a discerning eye exclaimed, trembling, shocking the people around him.
Since when had Sages become so commonplace?
One had to know that possessing ten Sages allowed a faction to be termed a Sacred Ground and walk freely across Central Continent.
But now someone had sent out a lineup nearly matching two Sacred Grounds just for show, raising questions—could it be the arrival of the Law Master?
Soon after, a seven-colored rainbow extended over, forming a bridge. The crowd couldn’t help but gaze, and indeed, they saw eight divine steeds pulling a convertible chariot racing from afar, stopping before the eighteen Sages.
“Salutations, Lord Palace Master!”
These words stirred deep confusion among the crowd.
What Palace Master? Shouldn’t it be the Law Master? Besides that person, who had the audacity to flaunt such grandiosity!
However, when Jade Linglong stepped out of the carriage, everyone was spellbound by her beauty, momentarily forgetting their confusion.
“Who is this stunning beauty?”
Someone’s heart raced, captivated by her looks, drool almost dripping down.
“I don’t know either; could she be the new Enforcer?”
“Everyone…”
Jade Linglong spoke, her voice filled with a commanding authority that made others dare not offend her.
“Many of you may not recognize me, but that’s alright, because from today onward, you will forever remember me; I am the Palace Master of Profound Sky Hall!”
Upon this declaration, many furrowed their brows!
“Who is this woman? How dare she be so arrogant!”
“Just because she has eighteen Sages with her? The Law Master is even mightier, yet I’ve never seen him so ostentatious.”
“Profound Sky Hall, what is that? Never heard of it!”
Some people scoffed, faces filled with disdain.
“Fool, you’ve never heard of Profound Sky Hall? Truly a wasted life!”
An old warrior puffed out his beard and glared at a nearby youth with contempt.
He said, “Before the rise of the Enforcers, Profound Sky Hall was the leading power of the Human Race. Even now, many significant sects are willing to follow it to the death; they’ve just kept a low profile in recent decades.”
“I don’t believe it!”
The youth retorted bluntly, “If it’s that powerful, why doesn’t Profound Sky Hall gather its followers and dominate the world?”
Just as his words fell, a heavy and magnificent drumbeat echoed through the void.
“Boom! Boom Boom!!”
The sound resembled a war drum, growing more urgent and weighty, making one’s blood boil, rendering breathing difficult, as if a violent force was gathering within, unable to be vented.
“Ah!! I’m about to explode!”
The youth crossed his arms, unable to stop himself from kneeling on the ground!
“Heavens, it’s the Gathering Drum!”
The elder’s eyes widened, looking at the sky in disbelief, as if he’d discovered something outrageous.
“What’s a Gathering Drum?”
“As the name suggests, when this drum sounds, those who’ve sworn to follow Profound Sky Hall must immediately arrive and wait for Profound Sky Hall’s orders. Otherwise, their bloodlines will suffer a curse, enduring torment for generations!”
“How is that possible? There’s actually something so miraculous in this world!”
“Hmph! Youngsters are always narrow-minded; the mysteries of Heavenly Dao oaths are not for you to comprehend!”
Before the elder’s words fell, an astonishing surge of spiritual energy erupted from all directions in the image.
In just a moment, countless strong warriors surged in, gathering in the heavens, encircling Jade Linglong in the center like stars surrounding the moon.
Those people formed a dark mass, like clouds overshadowing the sun, casting a shadow that covered thousands.
The terrible might soared to the heavens, reaching the Ninth Heaven above and the Nine Oblivions below, as if a hundred thousand celestial soldiers had gathered here. A single coordinated strike could reduce any target to dust in an instant!
“What… how is this possible? It’s actually true!”
The youth who had just spoken arrogantly had weakened legs, no longer daring to look directly at the woman in the sky.
However, this was hardly embarrassing, as countless people like him were crushed by the heavy aura, with only the option to kneel in submission.
“Too reckless!”
Inside the Chief Enforcement City, the Enforcer of Central Continent was fuming, ready to issue orders to teach that woman a lesson.
“There’s no need to be so hasty…”
At that moment, an elegant voice came through, making the Chief Enforcer immediately halt and kneel on one knee in that direction.
“Law Master!”
“Don’t pay attention; to make her perish, one must let her go wild; soon, someone will take care of her.”
“Are you saying… it’s that one from the East?”
“Just wait and see; I dare bet you’re significantly underestimating him!”
Upon hearing this, the Chief Enforcer felt a tremor all over.
He had never heard the Law Master speak so highly of someone; was that youth truly so extraordinary?
Far away, Zhou Tong and others also spotted the image in the sky.
“This person is undoubtedly insane!”
Zhou Tong said with utmost certainty.
Profound Sky Hall had hidden for so many years, just to recuperate and develop quietly, right?
Even if they had to emerge, it would be safest after the Golden Great Era began when everything was settled.
Yet now, to confront the Li Family, that woman disregarded everything and appeared so ostentatiously, seemingly unafraid of embarrassment.
Secretly assassinating or launching a surprise attack would have been more effective, perhaps even causing Zhou Tong some trouble, but this woman had to attract attention—one could only say it was…
Absolutely brilliant!
Zhou Tong enjoyed having such foolish opponents.
“Since you won’t ambush me, then I will ambush you!”
Thinking this, a smile crept onto Zhou Tong’s lips.
Truly, she hadn’t learned from the past, daring to ride in a convertible; today, he had to teach her a good lesson!
