Being able to receive the support of a force like Sword Valley, Han Li felt quite proud.
In this generation of Sword Valley's disciples, there were a total of four individuals, each possessing extraordinary strength. Whether in cultivation or influence, he, Han Li, did not have absolute advantages or guarantees. Naturally, he needed to continuously expand his connections and power.
"Thank you, Lord Han Li."
Xu Wang stood up and looked up, only to see Han Li accompanying guests for tea. There were three guests in total, two men and one woman. The only woman was stunningly beautiful, exuding an extraordinary aura, with a hint of nobility that made one feel they could only admire from afar.
Of course, compared to the woman he had seen earlier with that detestable kid, she fell short in ethereal grace.
After all, this woman, though gorgeous, was like a blooming rose, carrying a hint of flamboyance. In contrast, the woman he had encountered previously was cold and serene, much like the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, pure and untouchable.
The two men carried themselves with remarkable charisma, truly dragons among men.
They were definitely disciples of a top-tier force. Having Lord Han Li personally accompany them indicated their status was distinctly above his.
As for these three individuals, Xu Wang was not familiar with them; they likely weren't talents from the forces within Demon Sword City.
They could very well be disciples from other royal forces within the Northern Heavenly Region.
Xu Wang didn't observe the three for long; after all, they were strangers to him. Staring too long would be disrespectful. He refrained from asking Han Li for help, as the earlier incident involving his embarrassment was too humiliating. While he could seek revenge, he feared he would lose face beyond the borders of Demon Sword City.
Just as he was about to lower his head and step aside, he suddenly realized there was actually a fourth guest.
He was first taken aback, then horrified.
With his strength, it was shocking that he had not noticed the presence of a fifth person in the hall until now.
At that moment, the fourth guest seemed to sense his thoughts and turned his head slightly to look at him. Instantly, Xu Wang's mind was struck like thunder, leaving only blankness.
"Xu Wang! Xu Wang!"
A voice seemed to come from a distant place. After a moment, Xu Wang suddenly regained his senses, realizing it was Han Li calling him. He couldn't help but shiver, feeling the coldness spreading from his feet to his entire body.
If that person had attacked him just now, he would have had no idea how he would die.
So strong! Just a glance had left his mind blank, causing him to lose all combat ability in an instant. What kind of person was this?
One must understand that even Lord Han Li did not possess such strength to make him lose combat ability with just one look.
If such a powerful being could help him take down that detestable young man, wouldn't it be an easy task?
"Lord Han Li!" Xu Wang hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Weren't you going to tell me something important? Why have you been standing here for so long without speaking? And what’s wrong with your expression?" Han Li frowned slightly. He had guests visiting, and the reason he allowed Xu Wang to enter was to showcase his follower in front of them.
But Xu Wang had entered and stood there like a fool, looking rather embarrassed, which made Han Li feel quite ashamed.
"This..." Xu Wang gritted his teeth, knowing Han Li was angry. He recounted the previous events to him.
In his narrative, Qin Chen naturally became a madman, arrogant and domineering, showing no regard for the rules of Demon Sword City, making him suffer inhumane torment.
"Lord Han Li, you must help me!" Xu Wang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He was desperate; as long as he could get revenge, he no longer cared about losing face.
Han Li's expression darkened. What was this? Originally, he had called Xu Wang in to gain some face in front of others, but now Xu Wang had come in claiming he was bullied and had been taught a harsh lesson. It was utterly humiliating!
