On the Luo clan’s way back, Zhuo Fan was the picture of calmness. Li Jingtian stuck to him like glue, creating a stifling atmosphere that no one around dared to break and approach.

Everyone watched them go in shock, even the house lords.

No one had seen it coming. A mere third rate clan had risen to the ranks of a house the instant Li Jingtian showed up next to them.

Nobody present knew a house, except Regent Estate of course, that had someone at the height of power as Li Jingtian had reached, a peak Radiant Stage expert.

Not to mention the said expert could fight Divine Dragon Fang Qiubai to a draw. This fact only gave the Luo Clan even greater importance.

From now on, Luo clan wasn’t merely at the level of a house, but was right below Regent Estate. Any offense would be met with impunity from Li Jingtian, annihilating their entire clan.

Such a thing had never been never achieved in the past because of the delicate balance of power. This also did not push the other clans into a corner.

But now, You Wanshan and the other houses who held a grudge with Zhuo Fan had to reconsider their approach to revenge as the Luo clan had now become the second house under Regent Estate.

Luo clan was strong, but only because of Li Jingtian alone.

Yet that man was strong enough to shock everyone.

Luo clan slowly made their way to their accommodations in Dragon Cloud City. Zhuo Fan had a deathly look on his face that no one disturbed. And in this manner, they walked further and further away…

Suddenly, Zhuo Fan stopped and looked at Leng Wuchang with a sinister smile as he shouted, “Sir Leng, I admit my loss this time. But the games have just begun. Let us have a blast next time, ha-ha-ha…”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes exploded with hatred and coupled with his creepy tone, everyone’s hair stood on end.

Leng Wuchang’s face grew graver than ever. But it only matched Zhuo Fan’s bloodthirsty stare.

It was Zhuge Changfeng who then said, “Sir Leng, you really kicked the hornet’s nest this time, ha-ha-ha…”

Zhuge Changfeng then left with his two elders.

Leng Wuchang’s beard shuddered in rage.

The others around him were too scared to make a peep. It was a tangle between big shots, not something they should butt in.

Messing with the Regent Estate would get one killed, erasing the body and clan. While pissing off Zhuo Fan, who had tormented half of the six dragons, none of the vassals and small clans dared to imagine.

Not to mention they had a peak Radiant Stage expert as cover, bringing them on the same level as the seven houses.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two houses had sparks flying when their gazes met.

“Ahe-he-hem!”

“Uh, people, in all the Esoteric Debates held over the millennium, the grudges aren’t brought back from the competition. If the two houses wish to resolve their hatred, please wait for the next Esoteric Debate.” Dugu Zhantian took on an imposing stance and said so.

Zhuo Fan only smiled. Leng Wuchang’s killing intent never faltered.

It was clear as day that no one was buying it.

There were no grudges in the past Esoteric Debates because the seven houses kept appearances. While this time, Regent Estate killed the one Zhuo Fan cared about the most, Xue Ningxiang, and the man toppled their future, along with three other dragons.

Who the hell would wait a hundred years to settle that kind of a bloody score?

At least they were wise enough to let the matter slide for now, since Dugu Zhantian said it. Even if there was no verbal confirmation.

But then a brash voice resounded, “Regent Estate, listen up. From this very moment, the Luo clan and you are now mortal enemies!”

The crowd was in complete shock.

Luo clan simply got up and broke all pretenses, falling out with the Regent Estate in the open as well as in the dark. What came next was the worst outcome, war. To a clan having only one Radiant Stage expert, it meant death.

People whipped their heads to see who was the ignorant buffoon spouting such words. What came into view was the face of a dignified youth.

Luo clan’s young master, Luo Yunhai!

Long Yifey, Xie Xiaofeng and Grandmother’s eyes shrank, giving desperate signals to Zhuo Fan with their eyes. Luo clan going to war meant dragging them into it as well since they were allies.

There was no hope for victory at this point.
