104: Chapter 104 That kid is doomed

"Who could it be? Aside from the White Elephant King, that brat couldn't possibly have any other King-Sealing Divine Venerable supporters. He is encroaching on the interests of our aristocratic families. Besides, the White Elephant King is being held back by those few, so it is impossible for him to go all out. Could it be Mountain Lord Qin Wu?"

Their gazes instantly met, but after a brief silence, the middle-aged man immediately shook his head.

"No. If Mountain Lord Qin Wu had acted, that brat would never be making such a public display."

"Then who could it be?"

The matter of how Kang Dalei crossed a five-day journey to reach Yuanchu Mountain directly left all these Marquis-level Divine Venerables of the aristocratic families deep in thought.

If a King-Sealing Divine Venerable didn't act, who would have the ability to tear through space? Unless... Kang Dalei is a King-Sealing Divine Venerable.

As soon as this thought arose, the middle-aged man immediately dismissed it.

"What on earth am I thinking? If he were a King-Sealing Divine Venerable, Yuanchu Mountain would have already reached a conclusion; it is impossible for him to be merely a Marquis-level Divine Venerable."

"Report! The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy, Marquis Wanjian Kang Dalei, has arrived."

The two men, who were plotting in the study, all gasped upon hearing this news.

"He came so quickly."

"Marquis, I believe it would be better for you to go out and welcome this Kang Dalei."

"Welcome him?"

Just as the middle-aged man sat in his chair, rubbing his throbbing head, the old man with a goat beard smiled sinisterly.

Facing the middle-aged man's puzzled gaze, the old man with the goat beard stroked his chin and spoke unhurriedly.

"First, this person is, after all, The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy sent by Yuanchu Mountain. He has the authority to inspect the world, and when encountering demonic beasts, he can mobilize the three special organizations: the You Shen Guard, the Demon Extermination Society, and the Earth Net."

"Second, if we go against him now, we cannot prevent him from using his authority as The Worlds No. 1 Inspection Envoy to carry out a massacre. This person is the one who once wiped out three Divine Venerables of the Qian Family."

"Third, if we go out of the city to welcome him, we can use this to lull that brat into a false sense of security. Once he enters our Luzhou City, whether he lives or dies will no longer be up to him."

The two looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter.

The middle-aged man patted the old man with the goat beard, nodding quite satisfactorily.

"Not bad. You are indeed a direct descendant of the Xu family who excels at schemes. It is just a pity that they didn't know how to appreciate talent and actually forced such a great genius as you out of the family."

"Marquis, you flatter me. To deal with a greenhorn, we only need to make a slight move, and he will be nothing but a corpse in a grave."

"Hahahaha."

The two laughed again, but before they could enjoy themselves for too long, Kang Dalei's voice reached their ears.

"What is it that makes the two of you so happy?"

Kang Dalei's figure had appeared in the living room without them knowing when.

Watching their dumbfounded expressions, Kang Dalei picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Don't be shy! Say it out loud together, otherwise you won't have a chance in the future."

"What do you mean?" The Marquis-level Divine Venerable's face turned very gloomy.

"What do I mean? Can't you understand, Marquis?"

Putting down the teacup, Kang Dalei waved his hand, and Bai Xuaner appeared, holding a scroll in her hand. Inside the scroll was the tens of millions of taels of military supplies and countless rare treasures that this Marquis-level Divine Venerable had embezzled.

When Bai Xuaner read out his crimes one by one, the Marquis-level Divine Venerable was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he breathed heavily.

"You, you, how did you know? And it's so detailed."

"Marquis, if you don't want people to know, you shouldn't have done it. Will you kill yourself, or shall I help you do it?"

"Kang Dalei, can't you show any shred of decency? You and I are both Marquis-level Divine Venerables from aristocratic families. Although we haven't met, we are at least grasshoppers on the same rope."

This person was still trying to play the emotional card with Kang Dalei, but Kang Dalei's next words made his killing intent instantly erupt.

"When the aristocratic family alliance you formed wanted to kill me, did you ever think about being killed by me? Also, I am different from you trash who eat the flesh of the common people. Don't lump me in with you. You might as well go to the Nine Springs and slowly show off your aristocratic prestige there."

"You little bastard, I am a dignified Marquis-level Divine Venerable. How could you kill me just because you say so?"

With a squelch, just as the Marquis-level Divine Venerable was about to leap up, he was instantly pierced through by a long sword and fell to the ground.

The secretary nearby, seeing this scene, was so scared that he lost control of his bladder, standing on the spot while his body trembled incessantly.

Wiping out a Marquis-level Divine Venerable with one sword—what kind of terrifying realm has this person's strength reached?

"It's your turn."

Kang Dalei's gaze shifted to the secretary, and upon seeing this, the secretary shook even more violently.

"Don't, don't kill me. I, I know where his family treasury is. Inside are the proceeds of his years of corruption. I can offer them all to you."

"Not needed."

Squelch. With another sound, the secretary fell to the ground.

Before dying, he pointed his finger at Kang Dalei and said six words in terror.

"You are a King-Sealing Divine Venerable."

"Bai Xuaner, find a few people to accompany me to the treasury, and summon the common people to return the military supplies."

"Understood."

The next day, Kang Dalei led the main force to continue advancing, leaving ten people in Luzhou City and giving them pills to advance to Divine Venerable.

Overnight, the Marquis-level Divine Venerable of Luzhou was exterminated along with his entire family, and the matter quickly spread throughout the world.

Kang Dalei's name shocked everyone once again.

Xiangzhou, a medium-sized city, inside the Marquis-level Divine Venerable's mansion.

"Another Marquis-level Divine Venerable has been killed."

"What exactly does this Kang Dalei want to do? Does he really want to become a complete enemy of our aristocratic families?"

"A Marquis-level Divine Venerable died, yet Yuanchu Mountain hasn't even asked about it. Has that lord sent any news?"

Another female Marquis-level Divine Venerable shook her head.

"For such a major event, even Yuanchu Mountain hasn't intervened, so that lord certainly won't act. The key now is to look at the imperial family's attitude. If the imperial family intervenes, we will have hope."

"The imperial family? Those guys probably wish we were dead. There are plenty of people among us who have been following orders but not responding to summons all these years."

Another elderly Marquis-level Divine Venerable coughed and said sarcastically.

"Now I think what we need to do is figure out how to eliminate Kang Dalei. He was able to kill the early-stage Marquis-level Divine Venerable of Luzhou, which shows his strength is at least at the peak of the early-stage Marquis-level Divine Venerable, and possibly even reached the mid-stage."

"Mid-stage Marquis-level Divine Venerable? How is that possible? How long has it been since he leveled up? And he is not even twenty years old today."

"Enough, discussing this is meaningless. According to the intelligence sent back from Luzhou this time, although this person wiped out the Luzhou Marquis-level Divine Venerable overnight, we have also obtained a piece of useful information."

"What is it?"

I saw a middle-aged man wearing armor with eyes like lightning, sweeping his gaze across the crowd and saying:

"High-profile. He is so high-profile; isn't he afraid of encountering any accidents along the way?"

"What do you mean?"

"A demonic beast tide. Use the demonic beast tide outside the city to kill him."

"Don't forget how he got the title of Marquis Wanjian. Trying to kill him with a beast tide, I'm afraid the chance is too small and the risk is too high."

"A demonic beast tide naturally cannot kill him, so we still need everyone's effort."

The middle-aged man said again.

"Us!" The crowd was puzzled.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Do you remember the data from the battle at Xibai Pass that day? Although Marquis Wanjian used ten thousand swords to kill ten thousand demonic beasts, he himself fainted from exhaustion. So..."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes sinisterly.

"As long as we wait for him to use his ten thousand swords to kill all the demonic beasts, we will all strike together. Even if he really possesses the combat power of a mid-stage Marquis-level Divine Venerable, he will definitely die. As long as his soul is destroyed, even Yuanchu Mountain won't be able to find any clues."

"Hahahaha..."

After hearing the middle-aged man's analysis, everyone looked happy, and some even excitedly cupped their fists.

"Brother Gao is truly impressive. If we use Brother Gao's plan to deal with him, that brat will definitely die."
