Chapter 383 383: Showing one's hand
"Senior, please come in!"
Niu Qianshan instructed excitedly, his expression one of respectful humility, deeply afraid of offending the 'senior' before him.
Xu Nian walked at the front with a smile on his face, but inwardly he chuckled.
This father and son duo, Niu Qianshan, were truly easy to deceive.
With just a few words, he had spun them around in circles.
He really didn't understand how the Desolate Hall could involve such people.
Xu Nian, led by Niu Qianshan, quickly arrived at a grand hall.
At that moment, two Black Robed Men were sitting in the hall, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing Niu Qianshan walk in, and even bringing an outsider, their faces immediately showed anger.
"Niu Qiansan, who is he? Haven't I told you before? No one is allowed in, are my words ineffective?" one of the Black Robed Men reprimanded loudly as he slammed the table.
This man's cultivation was not low, having reached the Seven-star Battle King Realm.
The man by his side was even stronger, actually being at the Nine-star Body King Realm.
Such cultivation, even in the whole continent, was that of a Marquis's existence.
"Gentlemen, please calm your anger, this senior is not an outsider, he is the grandfather of your Desolate Hall Master! You must not offend his elderliness," Niu Qianshan quickly stepped forward and urged.
The Hall Master's grandfather?
The two Black Robed Men widened their eyes as they looked toward Xu Nian.
Soon after, the Seven-star War King gave Niu Qianshan a slap on the face and berated him, "Niu Qianshan, have you lost your mind? Do you know what you're saying? Insulting the Hall Master is a capital offense. If you dare spout nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll kill you."
Niu Qianshan, his head spinning from the slap, held his swollen face and said in frustration, "Sir, I'm telling the truth, this senior really is the Hall Master's grandfather. Don't let his young appearance fool you, he has achieved a very high level of cultivation and has rejuvenated!"
"Yes, sir, I personally witnessed this senior crush Qingyuan Bull, who is at the Battle Sect Peak, into a meat pie with one punch," Niu Daming also hurriedly chimed in.
Upon hearing this, the two Black Robed Men showed a hint of doubt on their faces.
After exchanging glances, they once again looked toward Xu Nian.
"Kid, are you saying you're our Hall Master's grandfather?" the Seven-star Battle King expert questioned, his gaze filled with deep skepticism.
"Ignorant junior, do you know who you're speaking to?" Xu Nian immediately retorted with a cold snort, his tone imperious.
The Seven-star Battle King's brow furrowed.
Had he encountered a tough nut?
"Then may I ask, senior, do you know how old our Hall Master is this year?" the Seven-star Battle King questioned again.
"Hmph, how old she is is something I would hardly remember clearly. When I met her, she was but a little brat," Xu Nian said with a cold snort.
"Is that so? Then do you know how many wives our Hall Master has?" the Seven-star Battle King asked again.
"Didn't I just tell you? When I met her, she was only a few years old. How would I know how many wives she has?" Xu Nian snorted coldly again.
But right after he spoke, he regretted it.
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Nian's words, the Seven-star Battle King's face broke into a sneer.
"Hmph, boy, you've got some nerve pretending to be our Hall Master's grandfather. You must be tired of living. Our Hall Master is a woman; what wives would she have!" the Seven-star Battle King sneered.
With these words, the Niu father and son duo immediately looked toward Xu Nian.
Xu Nian also cursed inwardly!
He had felt that there was something odd about the Seven-star Battle King's questions; it turned out to be a trap waiting for him to fall into.
What was more surprising to him, though, was that the Hall Master of the Desolate Hall was actually a woman?
"Hmph, daring to impersonate our Hall Master's grandfather, prepare to die!" the Black Robed Man snorted coldly.
As he spoke, a powerful dark force surged in his palm, slamming fiercely towards Xu Nian.
The palm contained a powerful fluctuation.
Xu Nian's gaze sharpened, and he immediately countered with a palm strike.
The black-robed youth's palm had barely touched Xu Nian's body when Xu Nian's hand had already struck his chest.
"Boom!"
The black-robed youth instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
"What?"
A Seven-star War King was turned into blood mist with a single palm strike?
What kind of terrifying strength was this?
Seeing this, the Nine-star Body King immediately realized that something was wrong.
He hastily tried to sweep towards the outside of the hall.
Anyone who could turn a Seven-star War King into blood mist with one palm was definitely not an opponent he could contend with.
However, before he could flee through the doorway of the great hall,
Xu Nian used his hand as a sword and casually slashed with it.
A flash of green light flickered and was gone, then the Nine-star Body King's strides halted.
Finally, under the horrified gazes of father and son of the Niu family, his body split in two.
"Crash!"
The body of the Nine-star Body King fell to the ground, and the sound made both father and son of the Niu family tremble.
Without turning his head to look at the Niu pair, the invisible pressure emanating from Xu Nian's body was already suffocating them.
"Do you guys believe that I'm the grandfather of the Desolate Hall Master?" Xu Nian's voice echoed in the hall.
Hearing this, the Niu pair blinked, then nodded continuously, "We believe, we believe!"
As they spoke, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Eyes fixed on Xu Nian's silhouette, their legs were shaking.
Damn it, at this time, did they dare not believe?
"In fact, I am not the grandfather of the Desolate Hall Master; I indeed lied to you all. However, you've seen my strength. Even if I'm not the grandfather of the Desolate Hall Master, killing you all would be a piece of cake," Xu Nian turned around and looked at the Niu pair with a cold laugh.
"Thump!"
Father and son of the Niu family once again knelt down in unison, quickly pleading, "Spare our lives, great one, spare us!"
Xu Nian looked at the two, terrified out of their wits, and sat down on a nearby chair with a light laugh, "Wanting to save your lives is simple, tell me all about why the Desolate Hall came here."
Upon hearing this, the body of the Niu pair shuddered, their expressions twisted.
Xu Nian, seeing this, chuckled lightly and spoke unhurriedly, "You're afraid of the Desolate Hall's retaliation and dare not to speak, but have you thought about what will happen if you don't? You won't even be able to walk out of this door today."
"We'll talk, we'll tell everything," Niu Qianshan quickly said.
Next to him, a single moment of Xu Nian's rage could split them all in half.
Even a Battle King Peak Expert had been cleaved in two.
They had absolutely no chance to run.
"Then speak fast!" Xu Nian roared.
Niu Qianshan and Niu Daming were both trembling, their faces filled with fear.
Niu Qianshan then began to speak, "Predecessor, actually, I don't know much. Over a month ago, several dozen people from the Desolate Hall came and have been living in my house. They seem to be searching for something. Just a few days ago, it seemed they found that thing, and all the dozens of people left, only leaving behind these two."
"What were they searching for?" Xu Nian asked, frowning.
"I do not know what it was, but I overheard the word 'token' once by chance. It seems they were searching for some kind of token," Niu Qianshan spoke.
A token?
Xu Nian was taken aback.
What did the people of the Desolate Hall want with a token?
What token was so important?
What do you think?
