Being identified

The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.

The onlookers began to whisper amongst themselves.

“I have to say, it’s truly surprising that the other party has a Three Yin expert.”

“However, how could the Seven Fierce Tigers of Liehai City be easy to deal with?”

“The fact that they could run rampant in Liehai City for such a long time without being killed shows their extraordinary strength!”

“If they chose to surrender humbly and obediently offer their treasures, perhaps they could still live.”

“But now they’ve chosen to fight, which is truly foolish beyond belief!”

Some people shook their heads, as if they had already foreseen the fate of Zhong Qing and his group.

Just then, an overbearing voice came from outside the restaurant.

“Wuliang Sect is handling matters; irrelevant personnel, quickly retreat!”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was greatly shocked.

The Wuliang Sect was the most powerful force within Liehai City.

Its Sect Master, Zhou Tong, was a Three Yang Second Realm master, truly the undisputed overlord within Liehai City.

“Senior, where is Senior?”

“We were unaware of Senior’s arrival; our Wuliang Sect failed to greet you properly, and we hope Senior will forgive us!”

Under the astonished or curious gazes of the crowd, a large group of people surged into the Myriad Fragrance Restaurant.

The one leading them was a middle-aged man, seven feet tall and robust.

He wore a black robe, and his aura was as vast and profound as an abyss.

With his powerful strides, he exuded immense pressure.

That was the pressure of a strong person, the authority of a superior.

However, his opening words were a stark contrast to his imposing demeanor.

His face was wreathed in smiles, as if he were coming to pay respects to some great figure.

It made people curious.

Who could be worth the Wuliang Sect putting on such a display?

After all, within Liehai City, Zhou Tong was considered the highest-ranking and most influential individual!

Amidst the curiosity and confusion of countless people, Zhou Tong was seen stepping forward quickly.

He then walked directly to Zhong Qing.

“Zhou Tong greets Senior!”

This scene nearly made everyone’s eyeballs pop out.

Especially Shi Meng and his group, whose hearts sank, scalps tingled, and faces turned extremely pale.

The ‘fat sheep’ in their eyes was actually a Senior in the eyes of Zhou Tong, the leader of Liehai City’s strongest force, and even Liehai City’s strongest expert.

How could this be?

How old was Zhou Tong?

How old was Zhong Qing?

Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

Zhong Qing looked at the newly arrived group, sighing that today was truly lively!

Similarly, he also felt a doubt.

He said indifferently, “I don’t know any of you; you haven’t recognized the wrong person, have you?”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Meng and his group instantly felt like they had come back to life.

That’s right!

How could such a young boy possibly know Zhou Tong, the strongest expert in Liehai City?

It was clearly the latter who had made a mistake.

However, the next moment, Zhou Tong’s words instantly tightened Shi Meng’s previously relaxed nerves.

He heard him say with an embarrassed expression.

“Senior, please forgive me!”

“A small fry like me naturally cannot enter Senior’s esteemed eyes, nor am I worthy of being remembered by Senior.”

“But Senior’s graceful bearing during the trip to Demon City is something I will never forget.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Zhong Qing nodded upon hearing this.

He had been curious as to how this person knew him, but it turned out this person had also been to Demon City. Although he rarely appeared in public, he never avoided people either, so it wasn’t surprising that a small number of people might recognize him.

Zhou Tong still wore a fawning smile.

Thinking of Demon City, his heart was filled with emotion.

During his previous trip to Demon City, he, the strongest expert in Liehai City, naturally wanted to get a share of the spoils.

At that time, he had seen Zhong Qing from a distance, accompanied by the Twelve Demon Generals.

He didn’t think much of it when he heard the Twelve Demon Generals call Zhong Qing ‘Master’ then.

It wasn’t until later.

The Demon Palace rose to prominence.

The Twelve Demon Generals became the Twelve Palace Masters of a supreme power.

Only then did he realize who this young man truly was.

He was, in fact, the true master of the Demon Palace, which had recently gained fame and transcended the mundane in the Northern Region.

This discovery so terrified him that he couldn’t sleep for several days after returning from Demon City.

Then, today, when Zhong Qing landed, the commotion caused by Mei’s appearance was witnessed firsthand by Zhou Tong, who was patrolling Liehai City.

Suddenly, this man, known as the strongest expert in Liehai City, was almost scared to the point of weak knees.

He dared not delay, immediately returned to his sect to gather his people, intending to invite this esteemed person back and treat him with the utmost respect.

Only when he was satisfied would he leave.

Otherwise, he knew the nature of the other people in the city.

If this esteemed person were to be displeased and, in a fit of rage, cleanse Liehai City.

If his Wuliang Sect suffered an undeserved calamity and was caught in the crossfire, he would truly regret it beyond measure.

He had no doubt that with the strength of the Demon Palace’s master, he could easily annihilate Liehai City.

And then, there was the scene that everyone had witnessed at the beginning.

Zhou Tong, however, did not know what kind of shock his words had brought to others.

Shi Meng and his group, who had originally held onto a sliver of hope, were directly scared to the point of weak knees.

They trembled uncontrollably.

Despair had already appeared on their faces.

Zhou Tong!

He actually hadn’t recognized the wrong person!

Moreover, what he said was even more terrifying.

Zhou Tong, the dignified strongest expert in Liehai City and Sect Master of the Wuliang Sect, actually said that he was not worthy of being remembered by the other party.

Oh my god!

Didn’t this mean that the other party was an existence that even Zhou Tong had to bow down to?

And they had actually picked a fight with such a person.

Instantly, Shi Meng and the others felt their livers and guts tremble, and a chill surged from their hearts throughout their bodies.

They felt completely cold.

Then, with a ‘thump’.

They, who were known as the Seven Fierce Tigers of Liehai City, knelt before Zhong Qing like dogs.

“Se-Senior, I was wrong, please spare our lives.”

The few of them kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Cold sweat streamed down their faces.

Their expressions were distorted with fear.

This situation made Zhou Tong’s expression stern.

He had already felt that the atmosphere was a bit off earlier.

Now, seeing their behavior, how could he not understand that they had severely offended Zhong Qing!

Instantly, his heart was filled with both anger and anxiety.

The reason he had rushed over in such a hurry was precisely because he was afraid someone would offend Zhong Qing, provoke his displeasure, and thus cause a massacre, wasn’t it?

He never expected that in such a short time, there would be such a reckless wretch who had offended such a terrifying existence.

Fortunately, it had not yet reached an irreversible point.

He immediately whispered, “Senior, as half the host of this place, it is my fault for letting these dog-like things disturb your mood.”

“Please forgive me, Senior; this junior will deal with them cleanly right now.”

With someone stepping forward to clean up a group of scoundrels for him, Zhong Qing was too lazy to do it himself.

He took a sip of wine indifferently: “You handle it!”

One sentence undoubtedly sealed the fate of Shi Meng and his group.

Having received Zhong Qing’s approval.

Zhou Tong immediately took action. He had no pleasant expression for Shi Meng and the others.

His face was so grim it looked as if water could drip from it.

“Come, men, drag these people away and dismember them, then throw their bodies out to feed the dogs!”

Immediately, several elders stepped forward.

They subdued the few individuals with lightning speed.

Their so-called Three Yin Three Realm cultivation was truly unable to stir even a ripple in front of the strongest force in Liehai City.

“Senior, Senior, spare our lives!”

Shi Meng and his group were terrified to the point of their faces turning green when they thought of their fate.

They continued to beg for mercy.

However, when they provoked Zhong Qing, they had already set themselves on the path of death.

Letting such people live would be the greatest cruelty to Zhong Qing himself.

Although their strength was insignificant in front of Zhong Qing.

But they were disgusting.
