Huo Yun'er!
The White Tiger Duchess's mind instantly popped up with this name.
Because the boy in front of her looked too much, too much like her. That hair, those eyes, were almost carved from the same mold. Moreover, he seemed to have the surname Huo.
A moment of daze made her react quickly.
Feeling that overwhelming hatred, the White Tiger Duchess's face changed from the gentleness when she said "Welcome" to gloominess.
For the identity of this person called Huo Yuhao, she already had eighty percent certainty in her heart. She dared to affirm he was the bastard born from that cheap maid back then, only having changed his surname.
"You are that bastard from back then!"
As soon as the voice fell, an extremely cold aura exploded violently!
Huo Yuhao stared dead at the White Tiger Duchess, his eyes red as if they could drip blood. The next second, red, red, red, red, red, red, a full six 100,000-year Soul Rings rhythmically pulsed around him.
Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul, attach!
"I—am—not—a—bastard!"
Word by word, spat out carrying hatred.
The strength of the Ultimate Ice Soul Emperor, and those six shocking 100,000-year Soul Rings, instantly made the pampered White Tiger Duchess change color. Although she was noble as the Duchess, and even the current Emperor's older sister, her own cultivation was not considered very strong.
Over many years, she had only barely reached Soul Saint. Speaking of strength, facing an Ultimate Ice Soul Emperor, she knew clearly that she, a Soul Saint who hadn't fought in a long time, was not this bastard's opponent.
"Xu, I want you to die!"
Before the voice fell, Huo Yuhao attacked boldly!
A punch swung out, terrifying cold energy gathered at one point, like an ancient ice dragon's breath exploding out, directly freezing all raindrops within range, rolling towards the White Tiger Duchess!
"Block it for me!"
The White Tiger Duchess immediately attached her Martial Soul. Under the shining glory of the Star Crown, seven best-matched Soul Rings pulsed. Immediately, a barrier suddenly rose, blocking in front of the attack.
The strength of the Star Crown Martial Soul made the attack difficult to break through the defense.
Taking this opportunity, the White Tiger Duchess moved to close the White Tiger Duke's Mansion gate while shouting towards Chen Junting's side, "Do you Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just let this bastard kill me, make a move against our White Tiger Duke's Mansion? Don't forget, our White Tiger Duke's Mansion and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ancestors had friendship ten thousand years ago, and cooperation for ten thousand years."
After speaking, she immediately sent out an alarm. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, as an old powerful force inherited for a long time, was not that simple.
At this moment, Chen Junting, who had no action and no sound until now, finally opened his mouth at this time, but his tone was exceptionally calm, even could be said to be full of cold meaning.
"Bastard?"
His gaze seemed to have sword light appearing, and before Huo Yuhao could, it shot out like lightning, piercing through the White Tiger Duke's Mansion gate.
"I don't think our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples would be bastards. Anyone who is my sect's disciple,Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is their home forever. Are you insulting the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!"
By the end of the words, it had turned into an angry shout!
Between wind and rain reversing, seemingly invisible ripples shook out. The next second, terrifying sound waves directly blew the gate into pieces.
Chen Junting step by step, slowly stepped onto the stairs.
"White Tiger Duke? Ten thousand years of friendship? Do you deserve to say this? In your eyes, he is a poor and weak boy, but in my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he is a rare treasure. He came to the door today for nothing else, only to settle the private grudge of killing his mother, it doesn't rise to the sect level."
"Otherwise..."
A cold killing intent instantly rose, making everyone present except Huo Yuhao and Chen Junting himself feel as if they were all placed in a mountain of corpses and sea of blood, causing a moment of trance.
Chen Junting's eyes were cold, speaking the unfinished words, "Today coming to the door would not be us two, but my sect's Supreme Elders personally. After all, if weeds are not uprooted, they grow again when the spring breeze blows."
"Big Brother Junting!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes contained tears.
"What is a man crying for."
Chen Junting raised his head, suddenly said a sentence.
"They're here."
Then waved his hand greatly, Storage Soul Tool Ring flashed with light. Four Array Rune Soul Tool Pillars instantly flew out, landing on the four corners of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion front courtyard. Accompanying Soul Power activation, lines of array runes suddenly spread from under the Soul Tool Pillars.
In less than a second's time, the array formed.
At the same time, several old figures had already arrived. And every figure's aura was no less than Soul Saint level.
"Thieves! How dare you break into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
Chen Junting paid no attention, and just made a grasping motion!
Taking the two guards away from the array's instant, the array along with the four Array Rune Soul Tool Pillars shone greatly, a purple barrier instantly covered this front courtyard, completely isolating it from the outside world.
Inside the barrier, only Huo Yuhao and the White Tiger Duchess remained.
Boom—
Suddenly, a tiger claw slapped down towards him!
Chen Junting didn't even look, directly extending a hand to hold it down. Then without giving the attacker time to react, his palm flipped and suddenly slapped out, a terrifying cold energy instantly gushed out.
Afterwards, a large block of ice was slapped flying out.
Immediately, the Seven Kill Sword also came into hand.
But Chen Junting didn't turn around immediately, instead continuing to say: "Yuhao, this barrier regardless of inside or outside can resist attacks below Titled Douluo level. So next you freely perform, complete your revenge. No one will come to disturb you."
After speaking, he then put his gaze on the people who came.
Glancing at the guy frozen into a block of ice on the ground, Seven Kill Sword lightly lifted, flying back into several old men's hands. And their identity was precisely the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's several Clan Elders.
Although there were no Titled Douluo, they were at least Soul Saint and Soul Douluo level experts. And Chen Junting's identity and just that lightly done move, all shocked them.
"Young friend, this isn't good."
"What isn't good?"
Facing several people, Chen Junting's face didn't change color.
"Revenge for one's mother, this is heavenly justice."
The leading old man's face looked ugly, but still forcibly endured the anger in his heart, "If the Young Friend sparks a struggle between Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and White Tiger Duke's Mansion, then your sin will be great. Moreover, Madam is still the current Emperor's older sister, if she appears even the slightest error, then the responsibility you will have to bear will be..."
"Stop!"
These threatening words, Chen Junting didn't want to listen anymore.
An aura rose behind him, majestic sword intent seeming to turn into a human figure, standing tall behind Chen Junting.
"These words aren't the ones I want to hear. And you only need to know one thing, before Yuhao completes his revenge, if you dare take one step forward, regardless of whether you're innocent or not, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After the words came out, everyone stopped.
Several Duke's Mansion Clan Elders originally wanted to move to first capture Chen Junting, but when meeting his eyes viewing people like pigs and dogs, and feeling the fatal threat emitting from his body, several Clan Elders all stopped moving forward, obviously choosing to be obedient.
They felt, this young man was not joking.
The sword in hand, seemed able to split their brows at any time.
"Go quickly consult the Star Luo Imperial Palace, let Dai Hao hurry back, and go request His Majesty, let the Worship Hall make a move, let the Empire intervene!"
"Yes."
The leading Clan Elder's instruction made one person immediately act. Immediately rushed out of White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and hurried towards Star Luo Imperial Palace!
Originally, after the Sun Moon Empire released peace negotiation news, Xu Jiawei also gave Dai Hao, who was stationed at the Ming Dou Mountain Range, a holiday.
At the same time, it was also to let Dai Hao today bring Dai Yueheng who was brought alongside him to join the army together, to go to Imperial Palace for a meal.
Chen Junting saw this scene, but his face didn't change.
Earlier, when making such a decision, the Sect had already notified Bai Sheng Douluo, stationed at the Star Luo City Nine Treasure Pavilion.
For the purpose of preventing other miscellaneous people from interfering.
And at this moment inside the barrier, Huo Yuhao was already without distraction, the White Tiger Duchess under his hand in fear only relying on Star Crown Martial Soul's specialness, had slight ability to resist.
But obviously, this was also about to reach the end. Under Huo Yuhao's step by step pressing, the White Tiger Duchess showed complete unwillingness.
"Boom—"
One punch, smashed the White Tiger Duchess's last defense.
Raindrops fell, sliding down Huo Yuhao's hair. He extended his palm, seemingly catching raindrops to stroke. Ultimate Ice cold energy bursting forth, made a sharp ice blade instantly form.
He aimed at the White Tiger Duchess's brow center, coldly said.
"Xu, I want you to pay with your life for my Mother!"
The White Tiger Duchess widened eyes, full of fear facing death, "No! You cannot kill me! I know I was wrong!"
However, Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of coldness.
Swish—
A slash fell, blood splashed everywhere.
The White Tiger Duchess completely fell in the rain water, that dilated pupils and blood trace on neck indicated, she no longer had life breath.
"You don't know you were wrong, you just know you're going to die."
