Hao Ren looked straight in the eyes of the young man and asked coldly, "How dare you think that you can look at my Lingshi in that manner?"
The young man shivered as he sensed a killing intent drowning him, then Hao Ren asked, "Who else was there with you?"
The young man hesitated, and Hao Ren sighed as he snapped his fingers, and asked, "What is your name?"
"Alam Midje.", said the young man.
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Alam, tell me honestly kid, who else is there?"
Alam gulped and said, "There is the second prince of the Khyberstan, and then there is the son of the Prime minister of Khyberstan, along with a few more people from the courtier families."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Which direction does Khyberstan lies in?"
Savant Midje pointed deeper in the west and Hao Ren said, "Mister Midje, tell me about them. Who is the strongest person there?"
Savant Midje guessed Hao Ren's intentions and said, "Senior, the strongest person there is the Royal Ancestor, he is a half step world realm expert."
The young man nodded and looked at his son on the ground as he asked, "What do you think I should do with this boy? I know that you are a father, and thus your position here is difficult, so tell me honestly, I will give you just one chance."
Savant glared at his son, but in the end he was still a human, and he knelt on the ground as he said, "Senior, I beg you, please spare him. I will discipling him better in the future."
Hao Ren waved his hand and he made Alam look at his father as he said, "Look at your father, he is the strongest man in this region and countless people bow to him, yet your actions have made his forehead touch the ground. do you know why? Because you reached out for something that is way beyond your league. Now, I will let you understand the reason why everyone should be responsible for the things they do."
He then turned to look at Savant and said, "I want you to chop off your left pinky finger. Would you do that?"
Savant was shocked, but then he thought and said, "Yes, senior."
A finger was still not as bad of a price then it was to pay with the lives of every single human in the Truth Tower. He took out a knife and without any hesitation he chopped off his finger. The cultivation base of the Dao World realm expert allowed him to avoid most of the pain but he still let out a groan.
Alam saw his father chopping off his finger, and his young heart couldn't take it anymore, and he wailed, "No, Father!"
Savant looked at his son and sighed, as he said, "Senior, is there anything else?"
Hao Ren stood up from his spot and said, "Tower Master Savant, you are a good man, and I can tell that from the fact that your elders are all ready to fight me right now. However, the price you paid is not to get away from me, but to make sure that your son understands who you are, and what you are made of."
Savant sighed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Senior."
Hao Ren waved his hand and vanished from the place. Savant and the rest of the elders didn't move for a few minutes, and then they sighed and fell to the ground on their knees. Alam was crying non-stop. Savant sighed and sealed his acupoints to stop the bleeding and he said, "Alam, I hope you can be better than before after this."
The elders came forward to support the Tower Master, and took him to rest in another room. Alam cried for half an hour, before his gaze fell on the chopped finger, and just when his heart was filled with rage, a calm voice sounded in his mind, "Don't try to approach her again with the intent of revenge, I will destroy you and everyone from your bloodline in this world. Do you understand?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Alam seemed to have seen the situation of his family and bloodline relatives being destroyed. He took a deep breath and knelt on the ground as he said, "Yes."
Hao Ren moved through the void at a quick speed, he raised his left hand and looked at the dragon ring on his finger as he asked, "Lingshi, are you there?"
Shortly after a voice echoed in his mind, "Yes, Love, I am here, do you need something?"
Hao Ren replied, "No, I was missing you only."
Han Lingshi said, "Well, I miss you too, but I will talk to you later as I have to go and find a natural treasure, bye, Ilove you."
Hao Ren said,"I love you too."
The connection was disconnected, the young man moved through the void at a higher speed, and soon he found himself standing above the royal palace of Khyberstan. On his way, he converged his aura to avoid getting detected by the generals and the guards on the borders.
His realm was high enough to make it so that the weaker people cannot sense him. The young man lowered his height and said, "I wonder if The sovereign would allow the favor of an audience to this wanderer?"
His voice echoed through the capital and many people came out to see him. Some guardians reacted, "Who dares!"
They all directly hurled attacks towards Hao Ren, the young man waved his hand and the attacks were dispelled as he said, "Kneel."
The people who attacked him were all kneeling on the ground. A soft voice echoed from inside the palace, "May I ask who is Your Excellency?"
Hao Ren smiled and looking at the old man dressed in a red robe, he said, "I am Hao Ren, Emperor of the Crescent Moon Empire. I come from the Spirit Shimmer Continent, I wonder if you are aware of its existence?"
Everyone knew about the merging of the two pieces of land. The man in the red robe bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, may I ask what is the reason for your visit?"
Hao Ren frowned and asked, "Your sovereign does not even regard me seriously. Is that why he sent you to greet me?"
His aura assaulted the royal palace causing it to tremble a bit. The people understood that Hao Ren was not a simple entity. The eunuch bowed deep and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Khyberstan doesn't wish to escalate matters into a negative paradigm. It is just that, our sovereign is unable to move."
Hao Ren raised his brow and sent out a spiritual probe before he said, "Very well, since I need his help, I will help him."
He vanished from his spot in the void, and bypassed the eunuch and came directly to the bed chamber of the King. The guards wanted to act against him but he said, "Freeze."
The people froze, he waved his hand and pushed open the door of the dragon room, and walked inside. He saw a feeble figure laying on the bed, and a few women sitting beside his bed with hopeless gazes.
Hao Ren approached the bed and the women wanted to say something when the Head Eunuch finally caught up and issued a telepathic message to the ladies, not to offend Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at the feeble emperor, and pointed his right index finger at the chest of the latter. A wisp of flame passed through the void and drilled inside the body of the emperor. The energy of the flame wisp gradually flowed around the meridians, and Hao Ren asked, "Head Eunuch, you might want to call for the best guards that your Sovereign has, because he is not dying from natural causes, but a slow poison."
The eunuch was shocked, but then he took out a fan and said, "Black Death."
A dozen experts appeared around the bed, and a few moments later, the old emperor on the bed woke up and coughed out a mouthful of black corroded blood.
His pale face gained radiance of vitality and his breathing stabilized. He sat up in his bed, and the Eunuch approached him with the details of what transpired. The old man looked at a particular woman in his harem and said, "Seal the cultivation of Concubine Shi and throw her in the imperial prison. I will deal with her later."
The man stood up from the bed and bowed slightly to Hao Ren, who stood with his back facing the old man. The old king asked, "Your Excellency, you have saved my life, please tell me how can I repay this debt."
Hao Ren turned around and said, "Your son tried to make moves against my wife. Your second son, I want him. An equivalent exchange. I wonder what you have to say."
The face of the old king changed, but just when he was about to say something, the voice of his royal ancestor sounded in his mind and he said, "I agree with you, Your Excellency Hao Ren. I will summon him right away."
Hao Ren nodded and thanked the man as he said, "Please call back all the people who are a part of his entourage. They all need to pay a price."
The old king gulped, because his ancestor has just told him to give up or the royal family would finish right there.
