The phoenix sword shot through the void and before the assailant could even run very far, the sword was through his back and sternum. The heat radiated from the spirit of the phoenix ravaged the man from inside out. Hao Ren was that overpowering now. It was not about the same realm of cultivation, but his strength being higher than the ones in same realm, all thanks to his saint halo's.
The person was burned from inside out, and then Hao Ren said, "Go, hunt the others as well."
Although Ye Si was handling things rather well for it to be a one vs eight, she was still not able to kill them. As she was getting desperate for an outcome, a red streak flashed in the corner of her eye and she hurriedly took a step back.
What followed was the death of seven assailants. All this happened in a blink and it was rather shocking for Ye Si and the rest of the Ye Generals who were watching. They had not reacted earlier because Hao Ren had called upon Ye Si, and if anyone was to partake in her battle, they would be disciplined later on.
The eighth guy was just a Dao World realm critten. Hao Ren flashed before him and with a snap of his finger, hypnotized the guy. He said, "Peng, take him down. The rest of you, seek and sweep. Every corner of the nation, I want it purged. All the representatives from the Spirit Siphon Continent residing in the continent, I want them all gathered in one spot. Also, the people who had been in contact with them, every single one. You all have a week."
The Ye Generals all replied in unison, "Yes, Your Excellency."
The tribulation finished, and Han Lingshi basked in the radiance that came after passing the tribulation. She opened her eyes and spotted Hao Ren standing tall before her as he instructed the Ye Generals and the corner of her lips curled. She loved it when Hao Ren acted strong, although she knew that he was very gentle and almost feminine in temperamental terms when it came to dealing with his closed ones. However, to the world outside, he was a sword that drank blood whenever it was poked. She loved him so much in this moment that she couldn't help but step forward and embrace him from behind.
Hao Ren was surprised and he said, "Lingling, we are outside, my love."
Han Lingshi chuckled in his ears and said, "Have you forgotten that I am the Empress here."
Hao Ren chuckled and Ye Si came over as she said, "Big brother, the capital is clear. No outsiders have came inside."
The young man nodded and said, "Good, I am going to interrogate that guy and then head over to the Spirit Siphon Continent, to see who really had the guts to walk in my home and act this rampant."
After saying this, Hao Ren kissed bye to Han Lingshi, who had to go and pacify the citizens were gawking at the sky with their eyes wide open.
...
Hao Ren appeared near the place called, 'Cold Prison' before he walked inside the place. The soldiers bowed to him but the young man only nodded as he moved deep inside the place. He found Ye Peng sitting outside a holding cell with a cigarette in his hand. He was surprised and asked, "Peng, where did you get a cigarette?"
Ye Peng stood up and said, "I came up with a research that smoking low grade natural herbs refresh my breath and it is also helpful in forcing the lungs to refine better breath holding capacity."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Fine, where is the guy?"
Ye Peng said, "There, he is cowering in the shadow."
Hao Ren turned to look over and he found that the person was really sitting inside the cell, huddled in the corner as he shivered. Ye Peng said, "I dislodged his teeth to find that he had a poison capsule inside, and his tongue is also missing."
Hao Ren frowned, his hypnotism didn't work with spiritual communication. This guy was really a suicide soldier, looking at his gaze, Hao Ren said, "Tch, he might break away from my illusion. Call over someone from Yue's squad. Have them interrogate this guy for as week, and find out what he has been upto and who is the person behind him."
Ye Peng nodded and Hao Ren flicked a silver needle at the prisoner to knock him out. The two people headed out and they returned to the imperial study. Maya Okudera said, "It seems that the Demon Moon has been secretly watching us the entire time."
Hao Mei nodded and said, "Not only that, but they are well integrated in the forces on the Spirit Siphon Continent, we have no idea of who is who."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "By now, Yue would have gathered some information so you can communicate with her, and also, I want to get back and kill some people. Motherfuckers almost caused an injury."
As he said this, the room was filled with killing intentions so strong that it made the people shiver. They had no idea when was the last time Hao Ren had gotten so angry.
*I just noticed that you are genuinely angry over the fact that someone tried to harm your wife. You are rewarded with a bonus period. Over the coming month, all the people from the Demon Moon Empire that you kill personally will be counted as points to upgrade your refining skills.*
The young man looked at Han Lingshi and asked, "Do you want to say something?"
Han Lingshi said, "Nothing, just be safe, the enemy is hiding in the shadow."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "I have a way to deal with this, don't worry."
That said, he bade a quick farewell to the people and moved back to his refining room where the teleportation formation was located. He took out the phoenix sword and looking at the edge, he found a speck of blood on it.
Earlier when he withdrew the lotteries, he gained a blood analysis skill where he could use a drop of blood to appraise almost everything about the person the blood belonged to. Looking at the speck of blood he smiled and said, "Time to see who is the demon, bitch.
