Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Xiao Ce Takes Action!

Just as Zhou Yu and the others entered the Light Gate, within three minutes, several dark shadows swiftly approached.

The newcomers were none other than Han Jiulian and his group in pursuit.

Upon reaching the Light Gate, they immediately sensed the abundant and pure spiritual energy emanating from it.

For a moment, greed and fervor flashed in the eyes of Han Jiulian and his companions.

“Hurry, let’s get inside quickly!”

“Don’t let that kid snatch all the treasures.”

As they spoke, Han Jiulian and the others were just about to rush into the Light Gate.

However, at that moment, a sharp voice rang out.

“Stop right there!”

As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying Sword Radiance descended from the sky, slashing directly at Han Jiulian and his group.

The terrifying Sword Radiance startled even Fourth Grade King Realm experts, causing them to retreat in shock.

Bang!

The Sword Radiance ultimately struck the turbulent sea surface and was shattered by the enormous whirlpool.

Immediately after, several dark shadows appeared before the Light Gate.

At the forefront was a girl.

Upon seeing her, Han Jiulian and the others’ faces changed color.

“Xiao Qingyue!!”

This girl was precisely Xiao Qingyue, the granddaughter of Xiao Ce, the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Country Martial Pavilion.

She was dispatched to Hu City to protect Zhou Yu.

She had arrived in Hu City long ago but kept herself hidden, quietly observing Zhou Yu all the while.

Until today, at this critical moment, she appeared to help Zhou Yu fend off formidable foes.

Han Jiulian and his men were well aware of Xiao Qingyue’s status.

Therefore, when they saw Xiao Qingyue standing in front, they were both anxious and furious, yet dared not act rashly.

They dared to attack Li Qinglong, even killing him, but Xiao Ce might not even react strongly. However, Xiao Qingyue was different.

She was Xiao Ce’s most cherished granddaughter. If anything happened to her,

Xiao Ce would definitely go mad.

At that time, their top forces in Hu City might truly face annihilation.

Mindful of this, Han Jiulian and his companions dared not act hastily.

At this moment, suddenly, two extremely powerful presences appeared between heaven and earth.

As soon as these two presences emerged, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure.

It even made breathing somewhat difficult.

It’s worth noting that, other than Xiao Qingyue, the rest were all Third Grade and Fourth Grade King Realm experts.

For them to feel such heaviness, one could imagine the level of existence they faced.

For a moment, everyone struggled to look towards where the pressure was emanating from.

In the black night sky, two dark shadows appeared out of nowhere, slowly descending.

Upon seeing the faces of these two, Han Jiulian and Ao Qingzhou both showed expressions of excitement.

“Big Brother!”

“Uncle!”

One of these two was Ao Family’s top expert, Han Jiulian’s eldest brother, Han Jiuzhou!

The other was Ao Family’s top expert, Ao Qingzhou’s uncle, Ao Tiandong.

Both were Seventh Grade King Realm experts, the most elite in all of Hu City.

Unexpectedly, these two came together.

As soon as Han Jiuzhou and Ao Tiandong appeared, they immediately unleashed powerful Gang Jin, suppressing Xiao Qingyue and the two Fourth Grade King Realm experts with her.

Xiao Qingyue and the two Fourth Grade King Realm experts struggled desperately, yet they were utterly powerless.

Before Seventh Grade King Realm experts, Fourth Grade King Realm was helpless.

Han Jiuzhou said indifferently:

“Jiulian, quickly enter the estate and deal with that kid.”

Upon hearing this, Han Jiulian immediately expressed excitement and said:

“Yes, Big Brother!”

Afterwards, Han Jiulian and his group immediately rushed toward the silvery teleportation gate, vanishing the next moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue was furious.

“Han Jiuzhou, how dare you let them enter the estate! Are you courting death?”

Han Jiuzhou remained unfazed by Xiao Qingyue’s fury.

“Little girl, speaking to me like this is beyond your station.”

“Perhaps your grandfather Xiao Ce might cause some apprehension.”

“But don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Now, get lost.”

With that, Han Jiuzhou lazily waved his hand, binding Xiao Qingyue and her companions with terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth, sending them flying backward.

Han Jiuzhou and Ao Tiandong then prepared to enter the teleportation gate as well.

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted.

“Telling my granddaughter to get lost, Han Jiuzhou, you are quite bold!”

As this voice appeared, Xiao Qingyue and her companions who were previously thrown back suddenly stopped, freeing themselves from Han Jiuzhou’s restraint.

Han Jiuzhou’s expression changed, looking towards a certain place in the sky, only to see a figure appearing above the teleportation gate.

This person stood with hands clasped behind, wearing a long robe flapping in the night breeze.

Upon seeing this face, even Han Jiuzhou revealed a serious expression.

“Xiao Ce!!!”

“When did you arrive in Hu City?”

This shadow was none other than Xiao Ce, the Martial Pavilion Master.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyue also saw her grandfather, filled with excitement.

“Grandpa, you’re here, that’s great.”

“Otherwise, I really couldn’t stop them.”

Xiao Ce flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Qingyue.

He affectionately patted Xiao Qingyue’s head and then looked towards Han Jiuzhou and Ao Tiandong.

But then calmly said:

“Leave immediately.”

Han Jiuzhou’s face filled with anger.

“Xiao Ce, did you come in person just to stop us?”

Xiao Ce replied lightly:

“Why?”

“Did I not make myself clear?”

Ao Tiandong couldn’t help but speak.

He retorted angrily:

“Xiao Ce, it seems Zhou Yu holds quite a place in your eyes.”

“But do you think by stopping us, you can save Zhou Yu’s life?”

“Let me tell you, before this, our six forces already dispatched experts inside.”

“Zhou Yu is destined to die!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce smiled slightly.

“If he can’t handle this situation, then let him die.”

“But as for you, you still need to get out.”

“If you don’t, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
