Chapter 287 is that older brother!!
Yuan Ling remembered something and sent a message to Jiang Yuan.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The higher-ups said that what you've been doing lately has had a significant impact. Do you need Da Xia to step in and cover some of it up for you?"
Not long after.
Jiang Yuan replied to the message.
"Need not."
Two words.
Simple and concise.
But Yuan Ling's eyes glazed over for a moment, sensing an extreme domineering aura emanating from it.
That's the arrogance of someone who has stepped into the ranks of the top experts and stands proudly in the world!
I am already one of the strongest in the world, why should I hide myself?!
Why should I hide it?
Let whoever dares to come, come on.
Yuan Ling was filled with emotion, and also found it somewhat unbelievable.
It's only been a few months? Less than half a year, right?
Has that once weak and frail high school student preparing for the college entrance exam grown up to this extent?!
Although he had seen him, a mere low-level martial artist, dare to slay the Abyss King's avatar in the ruins, it showed that he had the potential to become a top-tier expert.
But this...
That's way too fast.
Yuan Ling shook his head.
If you can't figure something out, then stop thinking about it.
With a flick of her delicate fingers, she sent a message to someone.
……
Within the small world of the Ten Ministers' Council.
At this moment, there was only the old man in the first seat and a phantom figure entangled in swirling black light.
The old man looked at the message he received and sighed.
"Youth has its own kind of youthful exuberance."
The black phantom said in a deep voice, "This is very unsafe. I don't agree."
"That's his intention, and besides... none of us know his full strength, do we?" the old man said.
The shadowy figure remained silent.
As the head of the Patrol Division, hidden in the shadows of the Great Xia Dynasty, he indeed knew very little about his new deputy, but their brief encounter last time had taught him one thing.
My young deputy is very capable!
He definitely possesses strength surpassing that of a quasi-king.
But how close to the true King level can be—50%, 60%, or 70%—is unknown.
The shadowy figure pondered, "If something happens, the cost of losing him would be too great."
"Danger will always exist. His return from the abyss suggests that those beings within it have been watching him closely, understanding his power better than we do. How can a blank sheet of paper obscure the sun? What is destined to happen will happen. Lifting the ban now merely lets more ordinary people know of his existence; in the grand scheme of things, it makes no difference." The old man spoke, paused for a moment, and then added...
"Since Beizhenyuan, it's time for the Great Xia to see another blazing sun."
The shadowy figure seemed to want to say something more.
The old man finished speaking, ending the conversation.
"This is also the royal family's intention."
……
at the same time.
The events that happened to the Zhao family quickly spread among various powerful forces and aristocratic families.
All major powers were shaken!
The secret filming by a ruthless and powerful figure hiding in the shadows led to the leak of footage of the battle between the Zhao family members.
What angered the Zhao family the most was...
That unscrupulous expert, having nothing better to do, even gave each of the titles a name, making him arguably the most sensationalist headline writer on UC.
[They've kicked a hornet's nest! A mysterious and ruthless figure has descended upon the Zhao family, alarming both the Zhao family's patriarch and third patriarch!]
[A rising star among the young and powerful, single-handedly taking on the entire Zhao family!]
Completely defeated, they offered compensation, knelt down and begged for mercy; the Zhao family has utterly lost face!
Each video costs 5 contribution points.
Many people paid to watch it out of curiosity, drawn by the title.
In any case, for these powerful and wealthy people, 5 contribution points are nothing.
And when you see the content in the video.
Almost everyone had a line of words that came to mind.
5 contribution points... Worth it!!
It's such a great deal!
In the video.
One person's appearance alone nearly shattered the protective barrier of the Zhao family's ancestral home!
One man faced dozens of Grandmaster-level experts from the Zhao family head-on, suppressing the veteran Grandmaster Zhao's Second Master with an aura of dominance. The pressure forced all the Grandmasters of the Zhao family to their knees, unable to lift their heads!
Forcing out the two potential kings of the Zhao family not only failed to suppress his arrogance, but also allowed him to demonstrate even greater strength, and in the end he even suppressed the three patriarchs of the Zhao family who had been famous for a long time!
Although the filming location was quite far from the battlefield, the terror of that black figure could still be felt.
The overwhelming pressure of will seemed to emanate from the video.
A single glance in the video was enough to send chills down the spines of the powerful masters watching it.
Among the ten prominent families in the capital, the Zhao family was not considered strong, ranking among the bottom five.
But not just anyone can come knocking and provoke us.
Even a potential king would have to weigh the consequences carefully.
And now.
The Zhao family was provoked by the person in the video. Their ancestral home was destroyed. Even when the eldest and third ancestors appeared together, they could not withstand the intruder's sharpness. They were forced to pay compensation of a legendary piece of equipment and a relic. They didn't dare to utter a word.
This is enough to explain the problem.
In an instant, as they watched the video, a question arose in the minds of countless powerful figures.
"who is he?"
Many people began to gather information and speculate.
"Such an unparalleled and ruthless person is unheard of, as if they sprang from a stone. Could they be an ancient figure resurrected from ruins?"
"The Age of Mythology is reviving? Impossible..."
"I think it's some hidden power, a peerless genius who has been lying low for many years, now coming out into the world. And the Zhao family just happened to offend him."
"Didn't the Chu family, the most prestigious family in the capital, have a prodigy who got lost in an unknown realm of ruins? Could it be that he has returned?"
"Stop guessing, I know who that person is."
"real?"
"Who is it?"
……
The Zheng family is ranked fourth among the ten great families of the capital.
Zheng Huangtong, whose ID name is "朕射你无罪" (I am innocent when I shoot you), was about to go out to Times Square to see if the guy with the ID "源神" (Source God) really had a way to lift the curse.
He had once bought a high-level skill book from me, so I guessed he must be a grandmaster martial artist.
But even if it's a grandmaster, if they dare to lie to her on such an important matter, don't blame her for being impolite.
Just before she was about to leave, she saw a video sent by a good friend and learned what had happened to the Zhao family.
While deeply shocked, Zheng Huangtong was also very curious about the identity of the mysterious young man and sent a message asking:
"Stop keeping me in suspense, Yuan Shihou, tell me quickly."
"It's not Yuan Shihou, it's Yuan Shihou." A thin young man in a high-rise building looked helpless, but still obediently revealed the information he knew.
Who can blame her for being so beautiful...?
"His name is Jiang Yuan. Does that name sound familiar?"
Jiang Yuan?
Zheng Huangtong was taken aback, then remembered.
"That hero of Nanjiang City, whose fate is unknown, the top scorer in the martial arts exam, and the recipient of the Purple Dragon Medal?"
"It's him. He didn't die, and he even returned to the capital alive. Surprised? Let me tell you, there's something even more shocking. I was shocked when I heard that too. He's now a professor in the Swordsmanship Department at the Divine Martial Academy, and I also heard he's in charge of leading the team in this national war!"
Upon seeing this message...
Zheng Huangtong was completely stunned, her expression blank, revealing a deep shock.
Having graduated from Shenwu Academy seven years ago, she is well aware of the high value of the professorships at Shenwu Academy.
It's completely impossible to associate this with the words "top scorer in this year's martial arts exam"!
"I'm back!" a clear voice rang out, followed by a joyful exclamation, "Auntie! You're back?!"
Zheng Huangtong turned her head and looked at her with a smile.
Returning home from outside, Zheng Xiaoyu excitedly used her Swift Shadow Step to rush into Zheng Huangtong's arms, wrapping her arms around her slender waist and tilting her head back to excitedly say:
"Auntie, auntie, you haven't come back to see me in so long. Stay a few more days this time, practice your skills with me, and it would be best if you took me to level up."
"Leveling up? Wait until you graduate high school."
"No way~~" Zheng Xiaoyu said in her usual coquettish way, "By the way, Auntie, do you know who I saw today?"
"Oh? Who did you see? It wouldn't be your idol, Assassin Six or Seven, would it?" Zheng Huangtong asked with a smile. The Wuye Tianxing she mentioned was the chief assassin of a certain idol hunter group.
The assassin girl shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
"no!"
"The people I met were far more powerful than Assassin Liuqi; even Uncle Bai was taken aback."
"Oh?"
Zheng Huangtong smiled and said "oh," then looked at the message Yuan Shi had sent to her communicator, which contained a photo.
Zheng Huangtong was stunned at first glance.
In the photo, a handsome young man in black stands on a frozen lake with his black hair flowing in the wind.
He stood tall, like a battle flag, his golden-red heterochromatic eyes looking down upon all living beings like an ancient dragon.
This young man single-handedly suppressed the entire Zhao family?!
Zheng Xiaoyu exclaimed with exaggerated expression, "General!"
"The older brother I met seemed to be a warrior, wasn't he impressive!"
"And that older brother looks even younger than you! Just one look from him and Uncle Bai didn't dare to move..."
He spoke animatedly, but Zheng Huangtong didn't react for a long time.
Zheng Xiaoyu was unhappy.
Waving in front of her:
"Hey, Auntie! Hey, hey, hey! Are you listening?"
no response.
She puffed out her cheeks, refusing to give up, and decided to get closer to see what Zheng Huangtong was looking at.
And the moment I saw that photo.
The little girl was completely stunned.
"Ah, it's that big brother!!"
