176: Visitors from all over the world

After Lin Mu returned to the Zhang Family, he went into seclusion again.

There were still many things in the green Jade Slip that he needed to research.

Meanwhile, Zhang Daoling, who had returned from the God Emperor Palace, had already achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor cultivation.

Lin Mu had pursued Jia Lan that day.

Not long after, Zhang Daoling steadily achieved a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

He was originally a Genius whose talent far surpassed others of his generation.

He also had the help of Lin Mu's Origin Power.

Xiao Hong, whose talent was slightly weaker, also achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor the next day.

After their Breakthrough, the two did not hesitate and together moved to annihilate the remnants of the God Emperor Palace.

The God Emperor Palace, without a God Emperor, had no power to resist against two Quasi-Emperor Experts.

Furthermore, most of the Divine Lord Experts of the God Emperor Palace had already fled.

This made their task even easier.

The absolute overlord that once controlled a region actually disintegrated like that.

As the news spread throughout the Divine Realm, everyone remained skeptical.

After all, the structure of the Divine Realm had been stable.

The Four God Emperors each ruled a territory.

Although they all wanted to annex the other three, they understood that it was not that easy.

This was simply because God Emperor Experts were too difficult to kill.

Once one was provoked, there would be endless troubles.

Therefore, without absolute certainty, no one dared to instigate conflict.

Even the Northern God Emperor, Liu Yang Gong, who knew the inside story, did not believe that the God Emperor Palace would be annihilated so easily.

After all, he had personally witnessed Jia Lan escaping that day.

As long as the God Emperor was not dead, the God Emperor Palace would not be annihilated.

However, as they continuously sent people to inquire everywhere, the people who went out brought back even more explosive news.

God Emperor Jia Lan was dead.

The Jun Family, with a Legacy of over a million years, had submitted to a Man in White Clothes.

And this Man in White Clothes was the one who had killed God Emperor Jia Lan.

This news came from members of the Jun Family.

Its authenticity was beyond doubt.

For a time, Lin Mu's name resounded throughout the entire Divine Realm.

At this moment, Zhang Daoling also resumed his identity as the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family.

Those who knew the detailed events sent people to the Zhang Family.

Ostensibly, it was to congratulate the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family on his Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor.

In reality, it was to curry favor with the Zhang Family.

The people from the other Three God Emperors also sent envoys to offer congratulations.

Their purpose was to ascertain Lin Mu's true strength.

If Lin Mu truly possessed the Divine Power to slay a God Emperor, as rumored, then their three Families would have to make plans early.

The person sent by the Northern God Emperor this time was actually from the Ning Family of Laizhou.

The leader was the Old Ancestor of the Ning Family, Ning Changfeng.

As a trusted force of the Northern God Emperor, the Liu Yang Family, the Ning Family's status in the Northern Region was second only to the Liu Yang Family.

Ning Changfeng, as the Old Ancestor of the Ning Family, had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm thousands of years ago.

However, only a few high-ranking members of the Ning Family knew about this.

His personal presence was partly due to Liu Yang Gong's instructions.

On the other hand, he also had a small agenda.

Only two people, both women, accompanied him this time.

At this moment, they were following him, one on his left and one on his right.

One of the women had delicate features, rosy lips and white teeth, and unbelievably perfect facial features.

This woman was the object of the young man from the Zhang Family's affection, Miss Ning.

The other woman, though also beautiful, exuded a charming and seductive aura.

She was precisely the stunning young woman who had fled from the Zhang Family earlier.

The Old Ancestor of the Ning Family bringing these two with him, his intentions were self-evident.

Ning Changfeng walked on the streets of Wu'an City, and looking around, he saw many familiar faces.

He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I need to settle things quickly. Whether the Ning Family can ascend to the next level depends on today."

At the same time, someone recognized Ning Changfeng.

He was about to step forward to greet him when a wisp of green smoke flashed, and the figures of the three Ning Family members disappeared.

Ning Changfeng, with the two women, directly teleported to the entrance of the Zhang Family.

He had originally intended to enter the Zhang Family directly.

But he was afraid of appearing too abrupt.

After all, he couldn't gauge the temperament of the person rumored to be able to kill a God Emperor.

So, he still chose to announce himself before paying a visit.

At this moment, the people who came to visit the Zhang Family had surrounded the Zhang Family's entrance, making it impenetrable.

The crowd formed a long line.

Seeing this scene, Ning Changfeng unconsciously frowned.

If it were any other day, he would only need to state his name, and these people would respectfully step aside, allowing him to go first.

But now, everyone wanted to witness Lin Mu's presence as soon as possible.

Among them were many Divine Lord Experts from various regions.

If he revealed his Quasi-Emperor strength, these people would naturally make way.

However, he had been hiding for over a thousand years and did not want to expose himself too early.

It was a very dangerous thing for a Family not to have some trump cards.

Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, a slightly excited yet nervous voice suddenly came.

"Miss Ning, why… are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Changfeng slowly looked at the speaker.

The person's appearance was acceptable.

But his cultivation was rather mediocre.

He just didn't know how he knew Ning Cai'er.

Ning Cai'er was the name of Miss Ning.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Cai'er, do you know this person?"

Ning Cai'er glared at the speaker with her beautiful eyes and said fiercely.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, this person is that little rascal from the Zhang Family."

The speaker, hearing Ning Cai'er call him a little rascal, immediately explained in a fluster, "Miss Ning, you misunderstood."

"It was my recklessness back then. Zhang Cheng apologizes to Young Miss here."

It turned out that Zhang Cheng was at the gate today, helping his father receive guests from various forces.

But he inadvertently saw the person he longed for day and night.

If it were before, he would never have dared to approach her.

However, with the Zhang Family's status soaring, not only had their Old Ancestor achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor, but they also had Lin Mu, who possessed the power to slay a God Emperor, guarding them.

The Zhang Family members all automatically overlooked the fact that Lin Mu had impersonated their Old Ancestor earlier.

Some even still regarded Lin Mu as the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family.

Although Zhang Cheng was a bit of a dandy, he was not a fool.

The Ning Family's group appearing at the Zhang Family's entrance at this time clearly indicated they were here to pay a visit.

Wasn't this his chance to make an impression?

Indeed, after Zhang Cheng stated his name, Ning Changfeng immediately put on a smiling face.

"What nonsense are you speaking, virtuous nephew? Love between a man and a woman is human nature."

"I often hear Cai'er mention your name, virtuous nephew."

"Seeing you today, you truly are a young hero."

Ning Changfeng's mixture of truth and falsehood made Zhang Cheng beam with joy.

Meanwhile, Ning Cai'er, hearing her Old Ancestor speak like this, immediately became somewhat annoyed.

She genuinely looked down on Zhang Cheng.

Neither in appearance nor in talent did Zhang Cheng meet her requirements.

But she dared not openly defy her Old Ancestor.

She could only glare fiercely at Zhang Cheng with her eyes.

And Zhang Cheng, who was already overjoyed, facing Ning Cai'er's Phoenix eyes, had long since conjured up fantasies and could no longer tell if Ning Cai'er was glaring at him.
