Chapter 433: The King of Reincarnation's Henchman

Seeing the Array Guardian Elder’s sincere expression, Su Mo said with a sigh, “Alright, I forgive you. Get up.”

“Thank you, Benefactor! Please wait a moment. I’ll inform Steward Cheng Ru to come and receive you right away.”

The Array Guardian Elder looked as if he’d been granted a pardon.

Zhao Chengru quickly arrived with his men and said in pleasant surprise, “Benefactor, it really is you.”

“It’s me!”

Su Mo said with a smile.

Zhao Chengru said enthusiastically, “Benefactor, you’ve finally made it to Meteor City. You must come visit my Zhao Family so we can properly welcome you.”

Su Mo didn’t refuse.

He was a stranger in a strange land here in Meteor City. This was a good opportunity to learn about the place and avoid making a fool of himself.

However, just as the two of them had taken a couple of steps, a man covered in blood fell right in front of them.

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!

The bloody man lay prone on the ground, continuously spurting blood.

“Hm? Is that… Wang Yue, the Patriarch of the Wang Family?”

“No way! Patriarch Wang Yue is a powerful Late Stage Martial Emperor. How could he have been beaten into such a state?”

The crowd looked at Wang Yue in a panic.

Just then, an old man with a face full of bumps walked up to Wang Yue and cackled, “JIE JIE JIE! Patriarch Wang Yue, I never thought you’d see this day.”

“Celestial Envy Old Monster!”

“Was Patriarch Wang Yue injured by the Celestial Envy Old Monster? No wonder he’s so badly hurt.”

The crowd watched the Celestial Envy Old Monster with dread.

Wang Yue coughed up blood and asked, “Celestial Envy Old Monster, do you enjoy being someone’s dog that much?”

“It’s none of your business!”

The Celestial Envy Old Monster threw a punch, and Wang Yue instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

Seeing this, everyone around gasped in shock.

‘So ruthless!’

A Late Stage Martial Emperor expert was killed by the Celestial Envy Old Monster just like that.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster declared, “If any of you aren’t convinced, feel free to challenge me! I’ll kill every last one of you.”

Hearing this, everyone silently lowered their heads.

Even Zhao Chengru was no exception.

Clearly, everyone present had been intimidated by the Celestial Envy Old Monster.

Seeing everyone lower their heads, the Celestial Envy Old Monster finally left in satisfaction.

Su Mo asked, “Is that Celestial Envy Old Monster always this arrogant?”

Zhao Chengru shook his head. “He’s only started acting this arrogant in the last couple of days. Before, he was a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.”

“Oh?”

Su Mo said, surprised.

Zhao Chengru lowered his voice. “The reason he dares to be so arrogant is because of one person.”

“Who?”

Su Mo asked.

Zhao Chengru said through gritted teeth, “The King of Reincarnation!”

“Huh? The King of Reincarnation?”

Su Mo asked in surprise, “Are you saying Meteor City has already fallen into the hands of the King of Reincarnation?”

Zhao Chengru sighed. “It hasn’t fallen completely, but it’s only a matter of time. The Celestial Envy Old Monster is the King of Reincarnation’s lackey.”

“To kiss up to the King of Reincarnation, the Celestial Envy Old Monster often kills and commits arson throughout Meteor City. His methods are extremely vicious. He’s already exterminated most of the families who oppose the King of Reincarnation.”

Su Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.

‘That guy, the King of Reincarnation, actually wants to seize Meteor City.’

‘What ambition.’

Su Mo asked, “Meteor City is the Meteor Sect’s territory, right? Did they agree to this?”

“The Meteor Sect was threatened by the King of Reincarnation into opening the Meteor Dojo. He wants to seize the Divine Level secret of the Meteor Ancestor. They can barely protect themselves now.”

Zhao Chengru sighed helplessly.

“No way!”

Su Mo asked, confused, “Doesn’t the Meteor Sect have eight Semi-Saints? With their strength, they’re afraid of the King of Reincarnation?”

“The Meteor Sect wouldn’t be afraid of an ordinary person, of course, but the King of Reincarnation is different. He’s at the Saint Level.”

Zhao Chengru explained.

Su Mo said in shock, “Holy shit! That son of a bitch, the King of Reincarnation, reached the Saint Level?”

As soon as he said this, Zhao Chengru’s face went pale with fright.

‘The King of Reincarnation… a son of a bitch?’

‘If the King of Reincarnation’s lackeys heard that, they’d probably tear Su Mo apart on the spot, and it would drag our Zhao Family down with him, leading to our extermination.’

“Benefactor, quiet down! Don’t speak so carelessly.”

Zhao Chengru warned.

Su Mo knew Zhao Chengru was worried the King of Reincarnation would take his anger out on the Zhao Family, so he compromised. “Alright, I’ll stop talking for now.”

‘I’ll wait until I see the King of Reincarnation. I’ll just beat him to death then.’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

On the way to the Zhao Family’s estate, Su Mo saw several more people being killed by the Celestial Envy Old Monster.

Meteor City had descended into chaos.

A middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Chengru and said, “Well, well, if it isn’t Steward Zhao Chengru.”

“Li Mu!”

Zhao Chengru’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Get lost. I don’t have time to deal with you.”

“Not in the mood to deal with me?”

Li Mu sneered, “Heh heh. Well, today I’m going to make you deal with me. I’m going to make you kneel and crawl between my legs.”

Zhao Chengru’s face darkened.

‘He wants me to kneel? And crawl between his legs, to suffer that humiliation?’

‘What a fucking idiot, this cur!’

Zhao Chengru turned to Su Mo and said, “Benefactor, let’s just ignore this moron. His brain is broken; there’s something wrong with him.”

After speaking, Zhao Chengru tried to pull Su Mo away.

But Li Mu was relentless. “Zhao Chengru, you must kneel to me today. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving.”

“Get lost!”

Zhao Chengru said impatiently.

Li Mu grabbed Zhao Chengru and pulled a Holy Edict from his robes. “I have a Holy Edict from the King of Reincarnation. You dare to resist?”

“What?”

Zhao Chengru’s expression changed drastically.

He never expected the Li Family to have sided with the King of Reincarnation and even obtained his Holy Edict.

WHOOSH!

The moment Li Mu unfurled the Holy Edict, an intense Holy Might erupted from it.

“Kneel before me!”

Li Mu bellowed.

THUMP!

Unable to withstand the Holy Might, Zhao Chengru immediately fell to his knees.

Everyone else in the vicinity also knelt.

Only Su Mo remained standing straight.

Li Mu said arrogantly, “Haha! Weren’t you acting tough just now, calling me a moron and refusing to kneel? Why are you kneeling now, huh?”

Zhao Chengru’s face was ashen, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Just then, Li Mu suddenly noticed Su Mo, who hadn’t kneeled.

Instantly, he became enraged.

‘Everyone present has kneeled. Only Su Mo hasn’t. This is a provocation against the King of Reincarnation’s authority, and a slap to my, Li Mu’s, face!’

“Kid, are you fucking deaf? Didn’t you hear me tell you to kneel?”

Li Mu roared furiously.

Zhao Chengru quickly tried to intervene. “Li Mu, stop! This has nothing to do with him. He is our Zhao Family’s benefactor, you mustn’t make things difficult for him.”

He didn’t want Su Mo to get dragged into the feud between the Zhao and Li Families.

“Hah?”

“This kid is your Zhao Family’s benefactor?”

“You must be mistaken!”

Li Mu glanced at Su Mo and scoffed, “Has your Zhao Family fallen so low? To actually find a piece of trash to be your benefactor.”

“Who the Zhao Family takes as its benefactor is none of your business.”

Zhao Chengru said with a cold expression.

Li Mu sneered, “Heh heh, of course, it’s none of my business. But since he’s connected to your Zhao Family, I must humiliate him. Today, he must kneel to me, and he must crawl between my legs, suffering the same humiliation as you.”

“You…”

Zhao Chengru glared at Li Mu in fury.

Just as he was at a loss for what to do, Su Mo suddenly spoke up, “Who is this moron?”

Hearing this, Li Mu’s anger flared instantly.

‘This kid actually dared to curse at me.’

The surrounding crowd also cast astonished gazes at Su Mo, not expecting him to dare mock Li Mu under these circumstances.

But Zhao Chengru felt a surge of fear.

He knew Li Mu’s vindictive nature. Now that Su Mo had publicly insulted him, there was no way this would end well.
