Chapter 724: Chapter 451 The Arrival of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty’s People

    “`

    The people from the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty arrived faster than Zi Liyuan had imagined.

    In less than half an hour, while he was still managing various tasks, a dark cloud flew over from the west and stopped at the border of the Land of the Dead.

    Three lords, exuding strong power, stood in a triangular formation at the edge of the barrier, their expressions extremely somber.

    A thundering sound roared like muffled thunder, directly exploding throughout the Land of the Dead.

    “Newly appointed Grand Lord, open the barrier immediately and come out to answer, or bear the consequences yourself!”

    The tone was unfriendly, coupled with the pressure of dignity, making it clear that these three were here to cause trouble.

    However, Zi Liyuan was not afraid in the slightest. The lackeys of a decaying dynasty dared to target him; they were seeking their own doom.

    Riding on Dilys, he leisurely flew over.

    From afar, Zi Liyuan spoke casually.

    “Who are you? What is your business? What do you mean by ‘bear the consequences yourself’?”

    His Spirit had already spread out, and the map displayed a vast array of Life Origin information.

    Within the dark clouds behind these three, three thousand beings were hidden, all with Fourth Tier strength judging by the strength of their Life Origin.

    As for the three standing in front of the barrier, they were all at Fifth Tier peak strength, though their Life Origin seemed somewhat hollow.

    If Zi Liyuan was not mistaken, the reason these three were able to reach Fifth Tier was by using certain items or drugs, coupled with not very strong Cultivation Techniques, to succeed in breaking through.

    “Kid, do you wish to die? Do you not know that the first layer of the Blue Star Sea of Realms is controlled by our Great Qing? Can’t you see the official robes we’re wearing?”

    The person to the rear, his forehead shaved smooth, leaving only a pig-tail at the back of his head, clad in peacock-patterned robes, scolded coldly.

    “Great Qing? Which Great Qing? Hasn’t the Great Qing fallen over a hundred years ago? Where did you bumpkins come from? If you’re impersonating, at least impersonate a still-existing government!”

    Zi Liyuan sat atop the Black Dragon, his eyes full of mockery.

    These people brought trouble, deliberately concealing soldiers within clouds; their motives were written all over their sinister faces.

    With just Fifth Tier peak strength, where did they get their confidence?

    Did they really think that the lords of the New World had no means or ways to break through to the Fifth Tier?

    If not for an agreement with Ying Xueji and others, Mr. Zi could have stayed incognito in the New World for a few more months; by then, when the Lord’s Mansion reached LV40, he could have smoothly broken through to the Sixth Tier and then emerged again.

    Meanwhile, he understood why Ying Xueji’s words were so sarcastic earlier.

    This Wild Boar Skin Dynasty had long since decayed; how could they be polite to a newly risen Grand Lord?

    It’s quite possible these people might plot to take his position as Grand Lord.

    Given that, how could Zi Liyuan show them any courtesy?

    A bunch who lacked power and whose influence was about to crumble, did they deserve his politeness?

    Thinking of this, Zi Liyuan gently patted Dilys.

    As the top-tier mount for day and night riding, she immediately understood her master’s intent with just a small gesture.

    Immediately, the might of the Black Dragon King unfolded mightily.

    The dragon’s dignity pressure of the Fifth Tier peak Epic Boss Black Dragon King overwhelmed the surroundings.

    Caught off guard, the dragon’s pressure descended onto the three Wild Boar Skin officials, who felt their breath hitch, their Spirits trembling slightly, with danger warnings continuously flashing.

    At that moment, the previously arrogant trio’s expressions changed immediately, looking at their opponent’s mount with uncertainty and worry.

    The Black Dragon, of course, they recognized, a Fourth Tier high-level creature, with a minimum strength of a Fourth Tier rare Boss upon maturity.

    Initially, they paid no heed to this Black Dragon, which was only fifty meters long, but now with the manifestation of Epic Dragon pressure, especially having Fifth Tier peak strength, the trio was a bit flustered.

    Never mind that they also had Fifth Tier strength, could ordinary humans compare with a Giant Dragon?

    No chance for comparison, could they!

    Moreover, these were pampered officials, whose strength had been forcefully enhanced through Treasures, and their actual combat power was quite mediocre.

    Even the one leading them, once known as a warrior of the Great Qing Dynasty, that was over a hundred years ago!

    Living a life of indulgence and decadence nowadays, no matter how strong a warrior was, he had become a weakling.

    Given the court’s internal and external troubles, would these officials not understand what this meant?

    Of course, they understood, which was why they used the court’s banner to bring their private army to seize benefits.

    Intimidation could naturally yield greater benefits, and even stealing the position of Grand Lord was not out of the question.

    If intimidation wasn’t possible, they could still rely on the court’s name to forcibly pressure the opponent to concede some interests.

    Now, the opponent’s mount was powerful, beyond what they could contend with, and to tame such a strong mount, the strength of this Grand Lord could be easily imagined.

    So, direct intimidation was impossible; they could only rely on the court’s banner to force compliance on the other party.

    In nearly two hundred years, the Great Qing annexed only a few pieces of land, totaling just nine, including this time.

    The previous eight Grand Lords had been pressured by the court’s name to cede some interests, with even two losing their positions as Grand Lords.

    However, with the fall of the Lower Realm Blue Star Great Qing Dynasty over the last hundred years, the later Grand Lords started showing more assertive behavior and increasingly stronger prowess.

    Thinking of these, the trio exchanged glances, pretending not to have heard what Zi Liyuan had just said.

    “We belong to the first layer of the Sea of Realms, third-ranked officials of the Great Qing Dynasty. Kid, stop pretending to be oblivious; do you intend to go against the entire Great Qing Dynasty?”
