Chapter 466: Humiliating the Peak Sage
Two hours later…
When the lazy Zhou Tong and the Little Demoness appeared before everyone, they were met with amused glances.
“Did you have a comfortable night last night?” The Empress leaned over and asked expressionlessly.
“So refreshing…” The Little Demoness waved her hand, striking a pose of a victor.
“Don’t get too smug!” The Empress said through gritted teeth, “Don’t let your guard down; today is the big day of confronting the Profound Sky Hall. Why haven’t you transformed into the Great Demoness?”
At this remark, the slightly intoxicated cheeks of the Little Demoness instantly turned fiery red.
“I’ve already used up the opportunity to transform last night; it’s still in cooldown…”
The Empress suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning, never expecting these two would play such varied games!
“She changed her style without bringing you along!”
Xuan Ge chuckled as she covered her mouth, immediately garnering a murderous look from Her Majesty.
This was just a small farce for today. After the playful banter, everyone focused their gaze on the sky, waiting for the arrival of the Profound Sky Hall.
As time passed second by second, many people revealed impatient expressions. Did the Profound Sky Hall take them for a joke?
Another hour slipped by with still no sign. Even Li Mu’s expression turned grim; Zhou Tong was the only one unaffected.
“What time is it now?” Zhou Tong asked with an unfazed voice.
“Reporting to the young master, it is now noon, long past the agreed time with the Profound Sky Hall.”
At this, the faces of the Li family members turned sour.
The other side was clearly stalling deliberately, trying to give the Li family a warning.
“In that case, let’s not wait any longer. Bring him up!” Zhou Tong said without politeness. As his voice fell, two powerful auras of Sages suddenly erupted.
It turned out to be Xia Qiu and Gao Ming. They emerged from the dungeon with the Seventh Offering, then activated the Heavenly Dao Image, allowing everyone to see the scene within.
In an instant, the eyes of the world focused back on this place.
“Everyone, take a good look. This person is the Seventh Offering of the Profound Sky Hall, who wanted to massacre the Li family yesterday, but I subdued him. Today, I will disperse him completely as a warning to others!”
At once, the crowd was deeply shocked.
“This guy is really bold; publicly executing a powerful figure from the Profound Sky Hall is clearly a slap in the face.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? He directly suppressed even an Eighth Layer Sage. Facing a mere Seventh Layer, killing him is no big deal!”
“Make your move!”
At the sound of the command, Gao Ming received instructions, twirling his wrist as a Sacred Artifact-level dagger suddenly appeared, aimed at the heart of his opponent.
“Stop right there!”
At that moment, an aura that could be deemed the strongest within this realm erupted, coming in like a barrage that enveloped the entire island.
Among those present, everyone except Zhou Tong changed their expressions, feeling unparalleled pressure, with some even losing their composure.
Gao Ming was the first to bear the brunt, being blown away by the aura of this Peak Sage, spurting blood from his mouth.
In the distance, an elderly figure strolled over with his hands clasped behind his back, as if a king descending upon the world.
“Old bastard!!”
Zhou Tong responded without a hint of restraint, cursing out loud as an overwhelming wave of Spiritual Power surged out, colliding against the opponent’s aura, firmly restraining it.
At the same time, he stepped forward, aiming directly at the opponent’s head.
This scene sent chills down everyone’s spine, as no one expected Zhou Tong would dare to confront a Peak Sage with such intimidation!
“Kid, do you know what you are doing?”
Xuan Qiubai’s face turned grim. He deliberately arrived late and chose this time to impose his presence in front of the Li family, aiming to instill fear.
He wanted them to understand that only the strong could act as they pleased.
However, he never expected Zhou Tong would dare to counter him without an ounce of respect.
“Old dog, I’ll give you three breaths of time to retract your aura; otherwise, I’ll turn you into a dead dog and flatten the Profound Sky Hall!”
Compared to his attempt to instill fear, Zhou Tong’s threat was far more direct, completely disregarding the face of his opponent, trampling both the dignity of a Peak Sage and the might of the Profound Sky Hall.
“Little brat, can you really do it?”
Xuan Qiubai furrowed his brows, feigning sophistication, trying to save face.
“Three…”
Zhou Tong showed no desire to engage, directly beginning the countdown, causing Xuan Qiubai’s face to twitch.
You are so arrogant; are you not afraid of hitting a wall?
“Two…”
Zhou Tong continued his count; his expression was cold, while Xuan Qiubai’s face turned pale as he silently watched, curious if Zhou Tong would dare to continue counting.
“One!”
The final word left his lips, and Xuan Qiubai completely changed his expression, never expecting the other to actually dare!
“Listen to my command, starting today, the Li family declares war on the Profound Sky Hall again; this time, I want no survivors!”
“Wait!”
Xuan Qiubai immediately said, retracting his aura. They couldn’t afford this battle!
“Old dog, weren’t you curious to see if I could do it? I was just about to demonstrate for you; why are you suddenly afraid? What are you scared of?”
Zhou Tong mocked, leaving Xuan Qiubai utterly humiliated!
