Martial Master

The Great Sadness Elder's legs weakened, nearly causing him to fall to the ground. It's over, it's really happened.

"What's the matter? Is Wanbao Tower doing business like this?" Qin Chen maintained his composure and said coldly.

"Hahaha." Hu Guanshi laughed loudly, "If it were normal guests, our Wanbao Tower would naturally be polite and conduct business amicably. But with you two, it’s clear that you came to scam us; it would be unreasonable for me not to be rude. And as for the black card VIP, our Wanbao Tower has never had any black card VIP. Come in!"

With a loud shout, a group of guards rushed in from outside. Each of these guards was actually an eighth-tier Martial Emperor, and the leader was even more formidable, being a peak mid-eighth-tier Martial Emperor, his aura not weaker than the Great Sadness Elder's.

"Hu Guanshi, what are your orders?" After the guards entered, they immediately surrounded Qin Chen and the Great Sadness Elder, then respectfully addressed Hu Guanshi.

Hu Guanshi sneered and said, "These two guys, with unknown backgrounds, came to my Wanbao Tower to deceive us. Capture them and investigate their origins to see what kind of conspiracy they have."

"Understood."

The guards responded in unison and began to charge forward.

"Wait." The Great Sadness Elder hurriedly stepped forward, "Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding."

Seeing the nervousness on the Great Sadness Elder's face, Hu Guanshi became even more certain. A real businessman would not fear their investigation; these were clearly reckless kids who didn’t know the heights of heaven and earth, coming to his Wanbao Tower to take advantage. Fortunately, they hadn't disturbed the Tower Master; otherwise, the situation could become serious.

"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be?" He smiled arrogantly, looking down at Qin Chen and the Great Sadness Elder as if they were mere ants, and coldly snorted, "What are you still standing there for? Take them down."

"Yes."

A group of guards immediately surged forward, the leading one sneering as he swung his hand, a huge palm like a black cloud swiftly pressed down towards Qin Chen.

The Great Sadness Elder was almost in tears; had he known, he wouldn't have come to this Wanbao Tower. But now that it had come to this, he couldn’t just watch Qin Chen get captured. Gritting his teeth, he shifted his body instantaneously, blocking in front of Qin Chen and striking out with a palm.

Boom!

The massive palm prints collided, erupting with a thunderous roar, and the two black palm prints shattered into nothingness.

"There really is a misunderstanding," the Great Sadness Elder shouted.

"Hmm? No wonder you dare to cause trouble in my Wanbao Tower; turns out you have some skill. But even a mere mid-eighth-tier Martial Emperor dares to be so arrogant; it is truly laughable." The leader of the guards sneered and attacked again. He raised his palm, and with a rumble, a terrifying shadow surged forth, carrying a devastating blade of black light that seemed ready to split heaven and earth apart, exuding a frightening killing intent.

"Damn it, I already said there's a misunderstanding, and none of you are listening?" The Great Sadness Elder was also enraged. His gaze turned cold, and an endless radiance erupted from his body as his right hand struck out suddenly.

Great Sadness Hand!

In the air, a pitch-black palm print appeared, as if it had rushed out from the ancient chaos, carrying the power to destroy everything, colliding with the black blade in an instant.

Rumble!

The reception room shook violently, dazzling array lights flashing everywhere, blocking the might of the two men’s attacks, with hardly any leakage. Aside from the violent tremors in the reception room, the entire Wanbao Tower remained unscathed.

The Great Sadness Elder felt a chill in his heart, and every hair on his body stood on end. It was terrifying; such a small reception room had such a formidable array defense. How strong would the defense of the entire Wanbao Tower be? The array set up within this small building was probably stronger than the defense array of the entire Northern Heaven Domain's Alchemy City.
