Chapter 84: The First World Constraint! (2/2)
It was also impossible for Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan to be by his side all the time, warding off dangers for him. Given his temporary lack of strength, he needed powerful ‘bodyguards’ to prevent such a matter from happening again!
This wasn’t an easy matter to deal with, but Wang Chong had a few candidates in mind.
“However, I should put this matter aside for now. At least, I should focus my attention on grandfather’s birthday first.”
Wang Chong thought.
It was just a few days till grandfather’s birthday. With Ablonodan and Arloja beside him, he shouldn’t have to worry for the next few days. Furthermore, if that female assassin recalled what he told her about the ‘Spectre Steps’, she probably wouldn’t have the time to harass him in the short run.
“Masters, I’ll have to trouble you to live beside me for the next few days then!”
After which, Wang Chong turned to Shen Hai and Meng Long:
“Shen Hai and Meng Long, bring little sister over here tomorrow. Also, tell my cousin, Wang Zhu Yan, to have big uncle dispatch a few experts here to guard my mother’s living quarters. I fear that there might be someone who would target my mother.”
“Also, inform the Imperial Guards of the matter and have them send some men to patrol the area. Right, it’s best to get to them through Uncle Li Lin and have him settle this matter personally.”
Rather than hiring more guards to the residence, it was safer to have the Imperial Army patrol the area frequently. After all, the Imperial Army was filled with experts of True Martial Realm and above.
With such powerful people patrolling the area, the female assassin would have to consider the risks involved if she were to carry out the operation.
“Yes, we will go and settle the matter now.”
Shen Hai and Meng Long replied.
After making arrangements, Wang Chong heaved a sigh of relief. For now, the Wang Family Residence should finally become a safe sanctuary in the truest sense. At the very least, he didn’t have to worry about an attack of this level anymore.
After settling Ablonodan and Arloja into the room beside his, Wang Chong returned to his room.
Peace gradually returned to the Wang Family Residence.
Peng!
Just as Wang Chong pushed open the door and stepped through the doorway, the world around him shuddered abruptly. Intense vertigo overwhelmed his mind.
Before Wang Chong could make sense of what was happening, the world around him changed. Suddenly, he felt as if he was being crushed by countless objects.
The immense pressure left him completely breathless.
【Warning!]
【Warning]
【The first World Constraint is incoming!]
…
Before Wang Chong could react, a storm whipped up within the world before him. Countless daunting waves towered before him, gushing to him at an unbelievable speed.
Before the towering torrent of the world, Wang Chong felt as insignificant as an ant.
Peng!
His right knee caved in, and he knelt onto the floor. At the same moment, he vaguely heard a bizarre call within his body. Despite the faint sound, an extremely powerful strength surged from his body, shielding him with a faint yellow barrier of light.
Boom!
The torrent of the world gushed past Wang Chong’s body. Simultaneously, the faint yellow barrier of light shrouding Wang Chong’s body cracked and dissipated, taking along all of his stamina along with him.
Hu!
Wang Chong’s face paled. He fell onto the floor, and sweat trickled profusely down his body.
“Gongzi, what’s wrong?”
From the adjacent room, Arloja asked, alarmed by the sound.
“It’s nothing.”
Wang Chong replied weakly. Everything before him returned to normal. That omnipresent crushing pressure from the world only sustained for a moment before vanishing.
The entire room was dark and silent.
The first wave of ‘World Constraint’ was over.
“Masters, did you all see anything just now? Or did you all notice anything?”
Panting, Wang Chong asked after a moment of silence.
“We only heard the sound of you falling to the ground.”
Arloja replied doubtfully. For some reason, Wang Chong’s voice sounded extremely feeble. However, given that Wang Chong has just experienced an assassination, he wasn’t too surprised by the matter. Thus, he didn’t pay the matter much heed.
Arloja and Ablonodan didn’t realize that their answer had enlightened the man next door.
“I’m the only one who could see that huge cataclysm?”
Wang Chong mused.
Regardless of whether it was those overwhelmingly powerful torrent of the world or that faint yellow barrier of light, no one except for him seemed to have noticed anything amiss.
Wang Chong realized that the Power of the World was directed only against him. That ‘World Constraint’ has already exceeded the level of an ordinary martial artist, such that even experts like Arloja and Ablonodan were unable to detect anything at all.
Dragging his weary body, Wang Chong climbed into his room.
“Roar! Patroness, why don’t you rest here for a while!”
Monks have a unique way of addressing guests. The exact meaning for the addressing terminology is ‘the one who gives’, and it is a respectful address toward those who donates to the monks.
