“Ok.” Su Han nodded coolly and walked out of the house with Lady Zhen.
Grandma was baffled. But since Lady Zhen said it would take only a while, she thought it was a minor thing. Beckoning to Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters, she said, “Girls, I’m hungry. Can you please make something to eat?”
“Ok!” Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters answered cheerfully.
The Lu sisters had sensed masters near the house, but they were not worried since they had seen the power of Lady Zhen.
Anyway, Lady Zhen had given them gifts to show her friendliness, and it seemed she didn’t plan to bring Zhen Congming back to the Demon Sea.
The Lu sisters had no dealings with Zhen Congming, but with everyone gathering around Hao Ren, people were good to him too.
Besides, since Qiu Niu had taken Zhen Congming as his disciple, even Lady Zhen didn’t dare to bring him back to the Demon Sea. She had come to visit Zhen Congming on the Moon Festival Day so that she could spend it with him.
While people in the house began to prepare breakfast, Su Han had walked out of the door with Lady Zhen.
It was drizzling outside. Lady Zhen picked up her oil-paper umbrella lightly, and the colorful umbrella snapped open, looking exceptionally bright in the rain.
Walking beside Lady Zhen, Su Han was naturally covered by the umbrella.
“How many?” Lady Zhen asked Su Han.
“Six. All peak Qian-level,” Su Han answered calmly.
Lady Zhen covered her smile as she said, “Hehe… It seems like the Dragon G.o.d Shrine has conflicts with the metal-elemental dragons.”
“I didn’t say that.” Su Han glanced at her coldly.
In fact, the Dragon G.o.d Shrine didn’t get along with metal-elemental dragons who challenged the management of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine due to their great power and unique habits. Besides, they had their own decision-making team, the Elder Council.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators who are at peak Qian-level were undoubtedly members of the Elder Council.
Although Su Han didn’t know why they came here, as the regional inspector of East Ocean City, she was displeased that the metal-elemental dragons had entered the territory of East Ocean without reporting to her.
It was why she had immediately agreed to come out with Lady Zhen.
“Then, I’ll teach them a lesson on behalf of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine.” Ignoring Su Han’s words, Lady Zhen floated up.
Not as powerful as Lady Zhen, Su Han didn’t dare to be careless while six metal-elemental dragons were around them. She flew into the high sky stepping on her longsword.
Hua… Six metal-elemental dragon cultivators who were wearing white Taoist robes rushed out from the clouds.
Without a word, Su Han shot out a green light with her longsword. As peak Qian-level cultivators in the Elder Council, they should know the rules of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine.
They had appeared in East Ocean City, showing no regard for the Dragon G.o.d Shrine.
Boom… The green light suddenly split into six pieces, shooting toward the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators immediately blocked the green light, but they felt their arms stinging from the attack, which surprised them.
This longsword that was refined from the White Jade Sword had a Thunder Roc Tailbone melted into it. Thunder Roc had the highest flight speed among demon beasts, and it possessed lightning properties.
That was why the attacks from this longsword contained some natural lightning energy.
“Don’t get us wrong, Inspector Su. We came here to do some investigating,” one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators said to Su Han.
Stepping on the longsword, Su Han looked at them coldly. Since she had been immersed in cultivation, she didn’t know about w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s death in East Ocean City, and the Dragon G.o.d Shrine didn’t release the news.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators secretly checked the realm of the beautiful woman who was standing beside Su Han and found that she was just a mid-tier Qian-level cultivator. Therefore, they disregarded her and turned their gazes back to Su Han.
When they saw Su Han remain cold, they said after a moment of consideration, “A metal-elemental dragon cultivator died in East Ocean City, and we came to investigate this issue.”
As members of the Elder Council and peak Qian-level cultivators, they had gotten the news of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s death in East Ocean City after a few days.
They had planned to keep clear of the spies of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine and the regional inspector of East Ocean City to catch Hao Ren who was the biggest suspect. However, they didn’t expect Su Han to be here.
“Oh? A cultivator was killed?” Surprised, Su Han looked at them and said, “Since it happened in East Ocean City, it’s my job to investigate it, not yours.”
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked at each other angrily.
It was a big issue that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong, a peak Qian-level cultivator who could potentially charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm, suddenly died in East Ocean City. That was why the six of them came together.
After all, no one had dared to kill metal-elemental dragon cultivators in the past hundreds of years, let alone a peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon cultivator.
Since Su Han had half of the metal-elemental dragon bloodline and was the regional inspector representing the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, they had compromised by explaining it to Su Han.
However, Su Han was still aggressive.
On the other hand, Su Han was angry that the metal-elemental dragon cultivators entered East Ocean City to catch cultivators without warning. They were indeed arrogant!
It was a big case that a metal-elemental dragon cultivator was killed in East Ocean City. If the metal-elemental dragons had given a heads up to the Dragon G.o.d Shrine or Su Han, they probably would have allowed the metal-elemental dragons to do the investigation.
“To tell the truth, the cultivator was w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ting, a peak Qian-level cultivator from our Elder Council,” they continued.
“Peak Qian-level…” Su Han froze for a moment and thought, “No wonder the metal-elemental dragon clan sent six pea Qian-level masters to investigate the death of the cultivator. However, who has the ability to kill such a master in East Ocean City, especially when the master was from the most powerful metal-elemental dragon clan?”
“After some investigating, we found that the cultivator who is related to the case of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong is in this house. We have come to invite this cultivator to help us investigate this issue,” one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators continued as he pointed at the small seaside house which was Hao Ren’s home.
Meanwhile, they released powerful auras.
Standing on the longsword, Su Han lost her balance and was sent flying dozens of meters.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators came here to catch Hao Ren!
Since Hao Ren was an inspector of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, they had concealed their auras in East Ocean City so that they wouldn’t alert the Dragon G.o.d Shrine. Now that Su Han wouldn’t allow them to do their investigation, they didn’t need to conceal their strengths anymore!
Standing dozens of meters behind Su Han, Lady Zhen lifted her palm and touched Su Han’s back lightly, stopping her backward momentum.
“Humph!”
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators snorted arrogantly and dashed toward the house.
Capturing a cultivator who was below Dui-level didn’t need the six of them to come together. However, worried that the powerful figure who had killed w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong was still in East Ocean City, they had come to East Ocean City together.
After searching repeatedly, they had found no presence of a super master around.
In their minds, they would get some clues as to who had killed w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong if they captured Hao Ren and interrogated him!
As one of the eight elders of the Elder Council, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s death was absolutely a big issue. If they captured Hao Ren, they didn’t think that the Dragon G.o.d Shrine would get angry at metal-elemental dragons for a small inspector.
However, if they had consulted with the Dragon G.o.d Shrine before they investigated the inspector, then things would get complicated!
For metal-elemental dragon cultivators, the fastest and most direct way to solve problems was by brute force!
“How dare you!”
Su Han suddenly understood that the cultivator whom they planned to catch was probably Hao Ren!
Her longsword shot out three ice frost beams, trying to block the six metal-elemental dragons.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators suddenly appeared in East Ocean City and had dodged the spies of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine on purpose to catch Hao Ren, an inspector of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine and the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
Right now, except for Hao Ren, the Lu sisters, and other cultivators, there were still three mortals including Yue Yang, Hao Zhonghua, and Grandma in the house!
After losing a peak Qian-level elder, the metal-elemental dragon clan got so furious and humiliated that they ignored all the rules!
If the battle began, the cultivators such as Hao Ren and Xie Yujia would be ok, but the mortals like Grandma would be in danger!
Worried, Su Han shot out three ice frost beams again.
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators were here to capture the person they want and then return to their respective caves. The Dragon G.o.d Shrine could do nothing to them after the whole thing.
Without the dragon palaces behind them, the metal-elemental dragon cultivators lived in their caves. If they caught Hao Ren, the Dragon G.o.d Shrine wouldn’t be able to find a way to negotiate with them. The Dragon G.o.d Shrine would either have to strike these six peak Qian-level cultivators or declare war against all the metal-elemental dragons!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The metal-elemental dragon cultivators shattered the three ice beams condensed by Su Han’s nature essence.
She was only at top-tier Qian-level. Even if she had reached peak Qian-level, she wouldn’t be able to defeat these six old men.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong was the weakest one among the eight peak Qian-level masters in the Elder Council. These six metal-elemental dragon cultivators had reached peak Qian-level hundreds of years ago!
The Taiyi Cave Master had his own plan and thus didn’t come with them, but the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators didn’t think that a regional inspector could block them!
Six white lights shot past Su Han.
Standing behind Su Han, Lady Zhen was closer to the house. Since the six metal-elemental dragon cultivators knew that Su Han was a high-level inspector, they didn’t continue attacking her. However, they found the smiling woman who was floating in front of them an eyesore!
Hua… Six white lights shot toward Lady Zhen.
Lady Zhen didn’t move while the precious stones embroidered on her colorful traditional dress lit up slightly.
As if the six blinding white lights had shot into cotton, not even moving a corner of the dress.
“Hehehe…” Lady Zhen covered her smile and said, “You attacked me first.”
Her pretty hand picked up her oil-paper umbrella lightly.
Boom… More powerful than the Soul Formation Realm!
