70: Chapter 70 The Star Luo Royal Family: What Are Their Intentions?
Meanwhile, the Shrek side was also extremely shocked.
"Th-this many Spirit Ancestor?" Oscar's voice trembled. "How is this possible? They don't look much older than Boss Dai!"
Under the powerful pressure from the Spirit Hall group, Ma Hongjun felt his breathing becoming difficult. His legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
The lecherous expression he had worn earlier was long replaced by terror, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Seeing this, Oscar quickly steadied Ma Hongjun.
Ning Rongrong's originally haughty expression froze on her Face.
But she was only slightly shocked; backed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she naturally had nothing to fear.
Zhu Zhuqing remained cold as ice, but her slightly constricted pupils betrayed the terror in her heart.
She had originally thought the talent of the Shrek Seven Devils was quite outstanding, and they could be considered the best among their peers.
Yet, the people before her were no less talented.
"Third Brother..."
Xiao Wu also put away her playful expression, instinctively clutching Tang San's sleeve.
Although she was usually fearless, the strength of the people before her far exceeded any opponent she had encountered in the past.
Those rookie Spirit Master, compared to these Spirit Ancestor exuding terrifying auras, were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, Third Brother will protect you."
Tang San comforted Xiao Wu in a low voice, but his brows knitted tighter and tighter.
His hand, resting on the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, tightened unconsciously.
The opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations, forcing him to re-evaluate the current situation.
Although there was a huge gap in Rank of Soul Power, he still had his hidden card: Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
If a real fight broke out, he could launch a sneak attack; even if the opponent were a Spirit Ancestor, the outcome would remain uncertain.
Dai Mubai's expression also stiffened; he hadn't expected the opponent to have so many Spirit Ancestor.
But as the leader of Shrek, and with Zhao Wuji still upstairs, he quickly calmed down:
"So what if you are Spirit Ancestor? We, the Shrek Seven Devils, aren't afraid of you!"
As Dai Mubai spoke, his Soul Power surged, and his Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit instantly possessed him.
Three spirit ring—yellow, yellow, and purple—descended in sequence at his feet, emitting the pressure of a Rank 37 Spirit Elder.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in the other's eyes.
They held high positions in Spirit Hall, so they naturally recognized Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit; this was the Legacy Spirit of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.
"You are from the Star Luo royal family?"
Xie Yue asked in a deep voice, his killing intent receding slightly.
The Star Luo royal family was, after all, a major power, and he had to show some restraint.
The Shrek group had been about to release their Spirit, but they were stunned by Xie Yue's words.
Except for Zhu Zhuqing, who had long known, and Ning Rongrong, who came from an extraordinary background, the others wore expressions of disbelief.
"Boss Dai is actually from the Star Luo royal family?"
Oscar's eyes widened as he stared at Dai Mubai in disbelief.
Ma Hongjun's mouth hung open: "No wonder Boss Dai is so rich..."
Xiao Wu tilted her head and tugged at Tang San's sleeve: "Third Brother, is the Star Luo royal family very powerful?"
Tang San nodded with a grave expression; he remembered Great Master explaining the distribution of major powers on the continent to him.
They were the two great Empires, the Seven Great Sects, and Spirit Hall.
As one of the two great Empires, the Star Luo Empire's strength naturally could not be underestimated.
He hadn't expected Dai Mubai to have this identity; now, things shouldn't be so thorny.
Since the opponent knew about the Star Luo royal family, they would likely be wary of Dai Mubai's identity and not dare to act rashly.
Upon hearing this, a flash of panic crossed Dai Mubai's eyes; he hadn't expected the opponent to identify him solely based on his Spirit.
He had been hiding his identity specifically to escape his older brother, Dai Weisi.
If this information were to reach the Star Luo Empire, it would likely bring a lethal disaster upon him.
"So what if I am?"
Dai Mubai feigned calmness, but his voice carried a hint of unease.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a look.
Hu Liena shook her head slightly, signaling her brother not to act rashly.
Although she held an extraordinary position in Spirit Hall, when it came to a top-tier continental power like the Star Luo Empire, even she had to act with caution.
After all, the relationship between the two great Empires and Spirit Hall had always been delicate; one wrong move could trigger a storm.
She could not bring trouble to her teacher, Bibi Dong, because of today's events.
Tang San took all of this in.
He keenly sensed the unnaturalness in Dai Mubai's expression and the subtle change in the attitudes of the opposing group.
It seemed Dai Mubai's identity had indeed made the opponent wary; his hand, gripping the spirit tool, slowly relaxed.
Xie Yue said coldly:
"Kid, since you are from the Star Luo royal family, I can give you some Face, but that little Fatty spoke insolently, and I must teach him a lesson!"
Before his voice even faded, his Moon Blades were already pointed directly at Ma Hongjun.
In Xie Yue's view, although Dai Mubai had come forward to chat up his sister, he had at least maintained basic etiquette.
Unlike that damn Fatty, whose mouth was full of filth, and whose eyes had unscrupulously scanned his sister, which was simply disgusting.
Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, the hotel owner came running over, tumbling and crawling, begging with a crying voice:
"Oh, my lords Spirit Master, please, I beg you to show mercy; my humble shop cannot withstand such a commotion!"
Ji Xuan slowly stood up and casually tossed a bag of gold coin, which landed before the owner with a heavy thud:
"You may go."
"Thank you, my lord Spirit Master! Thank you, my lord!"
The owner clutched the heavy money bag and scrambled out of the restaurant.
A rough estimate told him that these gold coin were more than enough to buy the entire restaurant, let alone compensate for the damages.
After the owner's figure disappeared around the street corner, Ji Xuan turned to Xie Yue, his tone still calm:
"Now we can begin."
Xie Yue nodded and angrily said: "Damn Fatty, do you dare to fight?"
Ma Hongjun, pointed at by the Moon Blades, turned pale with fright, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
He hurriedly hid behind Dai Mubai, grabbing Dai Mubai's arm, and said in a trembling voice:
"Dai... Boss Dai, you have to help me!"
Although Dai Mubai was quite wary of Xie Yue's strength in his heart, he could not back down in front of everyone.
He patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Fatty, I'm here."
Immediately, he looked straight at Xie Yue, his tone firm: "Today, no one is going to touch a hair on my brother's head!"
Xie Yue frowned slightly; he was indeed wary of Dai Mubai's identity.
If he really made a move, it would likely bring trouble to Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena gently pulled on Xie Yue's sleeve and shook her head slightly: "Brother, let it go."
Xie Yue gritted his teeth and finally, suppressing his anger, withdrew his Moon Blades.
Upon seeing this, the Spirit Hall group, though unwilling, had no choice but to withdraw their Spirit one by one.
Dai Mubai also slowly withdrew his Spirit, and Tang San's hand let go of his spirit tool.
Just when everyone thought the conflict was about to subside.
Ji Xuan walked slowly to the front of the Spirit Hall group, his gaze landing on Ma Hongjun, the corners of his lips curling into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
The Shrek group immediately became vigilant.
Tang San's pupils constricted even further; he had long sensed that the youth before him was extraordinary.
Seeing the other party suddenly step forward now, alarm bells rang in his heart: what exactly was this person planning?
