Chapter 503 - 360: Martial Arts Grandmaster, Zhao Family Ancestor! (Double Length)
Zhao Boqi, upon hearing this, abruptly halted his lifted foot, and a low, oppressive aura suddenly erupted from him.
The formidable Innate Qi Aura whipped up a fierce wind, glaring at Meng Yuan angrily.
"You’re pushing it too far!"
He originally intended to compromise, to follow and see what tricks Wang Tianshuang planned to play at the Prince’s Mansion.
However, given the current situation, the other party had no intention of sparing the Zhao Family today.
Not only did Wang Tianshuang want to take Zhao Boqi away, but Meng Yuan also joined the effort to take all the important figures within the Zhao Mansion!
This changes the nature of the situation entirely.
Because among those to be taken away were many prestigious clan elders within the Zhao Mansion!
These clan elders are the foundation of the noble family, their heritage, and ultimately their last resort.
If even this had to be compromised, then the Zhao Family would be completely reduced to a laughingstock.
"I want to see Prince Cui!" Zhao Boqi said angrily, his brows furrowed.
Below his feet, several stone tiles had already shattered into powder, and the Innate Qi Aura around him was on the verge of erupting.
"Innate Perfection..." Song Changming assessed the level of the other’s Qi Refining Cultivation at one glance, not surprised.
The head of a family, without enough power, would find it hard to command respect and set an example in this martial arts-dominated world.
Indeed, this Patriarch of the Zhao Family in front of him gave him an even stronger sense of oppression than Zhao Liang had, which was quite remarkable!
"The official document is here, and the truth will come out after investigation. Patriarch Zhao, are you planning to defy the Prince’s Mansion?" Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Boqi without a trace of fear or concession.
Zhao Boqi’s gaze at this moment seemed murderous. He took a deep breath, then said, "The clan elders are too elderly to go."
Facing Meng Yuan’s aggressive stance, he took a step back.
The implication was that apart from the clan elders, other family members, including himself, could go to the Prince’s Mansion for interrogation.
The clan elders were the final boundary.
This was basically the bottom line for all noble families.
"Hmph, Zhao Liang and his son Zhao Zun attempted to assassinate military generals on duty and even colluded with the Demon Race, leading to the death of Feng City’s City Lord. Is this the doing of the Zhao’s clan elders?
With such precedents, how could others not be interrogated!" Meng Yuan snorted coldly, refusing to accept the other’s compromise.
"Fine! Young man of the Meng Family, do you really think my Zhao Family has no one left?"
With a loud shout, an elder flew in and landed within a breath from the Zhao Mansion, striking a palm towards Meng Yuan without a word.
The surrounding Qi Aura whooshed into the shape of a large avian shadow, which made Song Changming, standing not far away, apprehensive.
This palm had reached the Mastery Realm, a divine skill indeed!
Meng Yuan’s expression changed slightly. He put away the document and similarly struck with a palm, transforming his Qi Aura to counter.
With a thunderous boom, the airflow surged along the entire street, causing many buildings and mansions to seem to sway.
Buzz!
The rampant energy was yet quite restrained, without truly destroying the street’s bricks and tiles.
After the strike, the first striking white-haired elder stood still, while Meng Yuan staggered back several steps, his face paling, and his aura dropping a few levels.
Undoubtedly, although both of them were moderately restrained in their exchange just now, he was still injured.
This shows the high prowess of the Zhao Family elder opposite him.
Meng Yuan, a martial artist of the Innate Perfection Realm, was yet injured so easily.
"Elder Tong, destroying official documents and defying orders carry responsibilities!" Meng Yuan said somberly.
"Responsibilities? At this point, does my Zhao Family still fear responsibilities?!" Zhao Butong’s white beard trembled with rage, the aura around him intensifying with his emotional fluctuations.
Saying so, he delivered another palm strike, with such vigorous palm force that even the elite soldiers couldn’t stop retreating uncontrollably.
"Meng Family, let that Meng Kunlun lad come and talk!" Zhao Butong snorted heavily.
The strong appearance of this Zhao Family elder finally allowed the Zhao clan members, oppressed for long, to vent the pent-up frustration and indignation within.
"Indeed, this matter is no trivial thing, our Zhao Family must first meet Prince Cui!" Another Zhao Family elder slowly walked out of the door, saying calmly.
"Truly worthy of a top-notch noble family, with these old-generation powerhouses of Innate Perfection Cultivation appearing one after another..." Guan Yuntai, standing behind Song Changming, marveled at the powerful figures of the Zhao Family emerging in succession.
The Guan Family, though an outstanding noble family in the Second District, still couldn’t compare with these elite families in the Core City.
In terms of clan strength, they fell short by far!
Only in the circles of elite noble families could one witness so many martial artists of the Innate Perfection Realm.
In such a setting, it seemed that without the prowess of Innate Perfection Realm Cultivation, one did not even have the right to speak.
In fact, outside the turf of elite noble families, finding a martial artist of the Innate Perfection Realm was like finding a needle in a haystack.
In most cases, Innate Perfection Realm is synonymous with elite noble families.
Only those elite noble families can sustainably cultivate such powerful martial artists generation after generation, which is one of the reasons they stand unyielding for millennia, with profound heritage.
Guan Yuntai originally thought his family’s development was promising, with the aim to move into the Core City and step into the ranks of elite noble families someday, a dream perhaps achievable in the near future.
But now, as the Zhao Family was forced to reveal its might, Guan Yuntai suddenly felt that his Guan Family’s journey to become an elite noble family was still a long way to go.
Whether it could be realized in his lifetime also became an uncertainty.
"Zhao Family, by defying the Prince’s Mansion’s orders today and resisting arrest, the crime is compounded!" Wang Tianshuang stepped forward two steps, showing no fear towards the highly potent clan elders and martial arts powerhouses of the Zhao Family, loudly and indifferently declared each word.
