Zhangsun Lan asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Xiahou Hongxiang answered, “I submitted a petition to the Tortoise royal family yesterday and requested them to send people to bring Princess Xingyue back. Once Princess Xingyue leaves the jurisdiction of our Golden Horse City, I will kill her.”

“Great! I can finally take revenge!” Zhangsun Lan gritted her teeth and said, “Not only Princess Xingyue but also all the people around her.

“Especially that boy and the little girl who ordered her dog to bite me. I will cut them into pieces.”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “You don’t have to do that. The people of Ghost King Sect will send him to hell tonight.”

Zhangsun Lan said in surprise, “My old man, when did you hook up with people of Ghost King Sect? Those evil people are wanted by the Tortoise Kingdom. If you get entangled with them, it will bring great trouble to our Xiahou family.”

“Don’t worry. I just cooperated with them secretly once…”

As Xiahou Hongxiang spoke, he told her the whole plan of using the Ghost King Sect to kill Qin Haodong. Finally, he said, “That boy has an extremely powerful seventh-level demonic beast. Let Ghost King Sect kill him first. Then it will be much easier for us to kill Princess Xingyue in the future.”

Zhangsun Lan said, “My old man, this is a good idea but don’t get caught by the Tortoise royal family.”

Xiahou Hongxiang replied, “Don’t worry. We’ve removed the city guards without anyone knowing. Ghost King Sect is the one who will kill Qin Haodong. There won’t be any flaws.”

The husband and wife were discussing this secretly but Qin Haodong heard everything clearly from his yard.

When Xiahou Hongxiang and Zhangsun Lan knelt down in a panic, he secretly installed two bugs on them.

These items were from the treasury of the Alien Demon. It was a top high-tech product and was only the size of a rice grain and could be easily planted on a person’s body.

Lingwu Continent was not earth. Even if Xiahou Hongxiang and his wife saw them, they wouldn’t know what they were.

Furthermore, this kind of listening device had its own radar, so there was no need to use any other network. Otherwise, there would be no way for Qin Haodong to use it in the Lingwu Continent.

After listening to their conversation, Qin Haodong closed the laptop. A sneer played around the corners of his mouth.

These two were extremely audacious. They even dared to kill Princess Xingyue.

What’s more, these people from Ghost King Sect were really annoying. Since they wanted to make trouble for him, he had to really take care of them.

Just as he was thinking, the Little Witch pushed open the door and walked in. “Little Brother, Sister Xingyue would like to invite us to visit Golden Horse City. How about it?”

Except for Tu Jiaojiao, who grew up in Golden Horse City, all of them were new here, so they wanted to go out and have fun.

Qin Haodong nodded and walked out of the courtyard with the girls. However, as soon as he reached the gate, he was blocked by a group of soldiers.

The leading officer declared, “General Xiahou has ordered that no one is permitted to take a single step out of the courtyard without his permission.”

The Little Witch said furiously, “What do you mean? We’re not prisoners. Why can’t we get out of here?”

The officer said stiffly, “This is General Xiahou’s order. We are only carrying it out.”

Zhao Xingyue was originally in high spirits but now her expression immediately darkened. “What do you mean? How dare you block my way?”

The officer knew her identity. He was acting according to Xiahou Hongxiang’s instruction, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. General Xiahou is thinking of your safety. He is afraid that something dangerous might happen to you if you go out.”

Zhao Xingyue frowned. “You go and get Xiahou Hongxiang for me.”

The officer had already thought of an excuse. “Please forgive me, Your Highness. General Xiahou sent me here to protect you. Without the General’s permission, my men and I dare not leave our post.”

“You…”

Zhao Xingyue’s face was livid with anger. However, the other party kept saying that it was for her own safety. Thus, she could not refute the officer.

Qin Haodong knew very well that Xiahou Hongxiang was afraid that they would sneak away, so this courtyard was heavily guarded.

He said, “Forget it, General Xiahou has his own plan. Since he won’t allow us to leave, let’s rest here. We’ve been truly exhausted these last few days.”

Princess Xingyue had no other choice, too. Thus, they returned to the room in disappointment.

Fortunately, they were not bored. For cultivation artists, they could usually meditate for a whole day.

After dinner, Qin Haodong returned to his small yard.

Today, he had made a plan to deal with the Ghost King Sect. He took out a large bag of explosives from his ring and hid them under his bed.

The large bag weighed 40 kilograms. Once they exploded, the power was no less than that of a small artillery shell. On earth, it would have been enough to blow up a heavy tank.

For a cultivator who reached the stage of the Combination Realm, his defense would be absolutely strong. Ordinary bullets would not be able to hurt him at all.

However, the result would be different if the bullets were replaced with powerful explosives. This is especially true for the people of Lingwu Continent. They wouldn’t even know about the explosives. The effect of using the explosives would be better if they were caught unawares.

He put away the explosives and slipped the remote control into his pocket. Now, all he had to do was to wait for the people of the Ghost King Sect to come.

It was quiet outside at midnight. All of a sudden, more than a dozen shadows appeared around the small yard.

All these people wore black robes. This made them look like ghosts in the night. The only difference was the ghost masks they wore.

The leader dressed in black had a golden mask on. The four men behind him wore silver masks. The masks of the other 30 people were all bronze.

After the whole yard was surrounded, the man with the golden mask shouted, “Qin Haodong, come out and meet your death.”

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound in the room.

“Boy, do you think you can hide forever?” The man with the golden mask snorted and said to a man with a silver mask next to him, “Go and get that boy out!”

“Yes!”

The man with the silver mask nodded and rushed into Qin Haodong’s room. He smashed the window with his palm.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in the room. The Xuan Yuan Sword, like a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky, stabbed fiercely at the man with the silver mask.

The man with the silver mask shouted and threw a strong punch.

His cultivation had reached the early stage of the Combination Realm. Coupled with his powerful Hard Cross Skill, his fist was as hard as iron and he was not afraid of ordinary swords at all.

However, he never dreamed that the sword used by Qin Haodong was the Xuan Yuan Sword, a great artifact. The sharp edge of the sword cut through his body-protecting Genuine Qi in an instant. Then, his fist was cut in half.

“Ah…”

The man with the silver mask screamed and turned to run. However, Qin Haodong did not give him any chance at all. The Xuan Yuan Sword followed him closely and cut his body in half from head to toe, including his silver mask.

After killing the man with the silver mask, Qin Haodong walked out of the room with the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand. He said, “How dare you come here to disturb my dream by sending someone with such mediocre strength!”

A cold light flashed across the eyes of the man with the golden mask. According to the information he received, the young man in front of him was only at the late stage of the Voiding Realm. How could he suddenly become so powerful?

Qin Haodong had his own plan. The people of the Ghost King Sect in front of him were in scattered positions. Even if he detonated the explosives, it would be difficult to achieve a fatal effect.

In order to maximize the efficacy of these explosives, he had to try his best to attract as many people as possible to him, so, before these people came, he swallowed a Great Energy Explosion Pill and improved his cultivation to the late stage of the Combination Realm.

“Boy, do you think you can fight against our Ghost King Sect with your low strength? Stop dreaming.”

The man with the golden mask said as he pulled out a saber. The momentum on his body suddenly erupted. It seemed that he was also the Strong at the late stage of the Combination Realm.

However, this guy seemed to have realized Qin Haodong’s power. He didn’t rush over directly but said to his fellows, “Come with me. Don’t take too long. Let’s finish it as soon as possible!”

After that, he took the lead and rushed to Qin Haodong with the saber in his hand. Three men with silver masks followed closely behind. So did more than 30 ghost slaves at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. For this moment, they had great momentum and were combative.

Although Qin Haodong had been promoted to the late stage of the Combination Realm, he was alone after all. There were many people on the other side. None of them was weak. He would suffer a big loss if he really fought with them.

However, his current goal had been achieved. There was no need to fight against these people head-on. He smiled at the man with the golden mask. Then, he took out the black remote control from his pocket and pressed the red button.

The man with the golden mask rushed forward with his men. He did not understand what Qin Haodong was holding in his hand. He thought it was some special weapon, so he was stunned and did not take action immediately.

At the moment when Qin Haodong pressed the button of the remote control, he instantly hid in the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

The people of the Ghost King Sect had already surrounded him. However, they suddenly found that he had disappeared.

“Where is he? Where did he go?”

The ghost slaves holding swords and knives shouted one after another. They started to look for Qin Haodong everywhere.

For no reason, the man with the golden mask felt a great sense of foreboding and shouted, “It’s dangerous. Retreat quickly…”

However, before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang. With Qin Haodong’s house as the center, the explosives suddenly detonated.

40 kilograms of explosives were equivalent to a big cannonball. Although these people had strong cultivation, they still suffered heavy losses when they were caught off guard. More than 30 ghost slaves were instantly blown to smithereens.

The three men with the silver masks had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. With their strong Genuine Qi protecting their bodies, they still could barely resist the power of the explosives. They were blown to pieces in an instant.

The man with the golden mask instinctively did something by virtue of his cultivation. When the explosives went off, he had already retreated dozens of meters away.

Even so, he was still lifted high by the powerful wave of air. When he landed on the ground, he had already lost an arm and was lying on the ground spewing forth mouthfuls of blood.

At the moment of detonation, Qin Haodong sent himself back to the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

It was a totally independent space, so he could not feel the explosion in Golden Horse City at all.

After checking his condition for a while, he felt that the power of the explosion should have dissipated by now. He then sent himself back to Golden Horse City.

When he stood in the small yard again, he found that it had become a big pit with a depth of dozens of meters. In addition to the dense smoke, the people of the Ghost King Sect had been completely blown into pieces.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Haodong couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue. The power of the explosives was far beyond his imagination.

Then he began to look around. His secret must not be revealed by these people from the Ghost King Sect, so he could not leave anyone alive.

A hundred meters away, the man with the golden mask got up from the ground. However, the mask on his face had been completely blown off at this time. A ferocious face was revealed.

Seeing that all his men had been completely blown to pieces and his arm had disappeared into thin air, there was a flash of crazed hatred in his eyes.

He didn’t understand why this thing suddenly became like this. What was that? Why was it so powerful?

“Qin Haodong, you just wait and see. Our Ghost King Sect will never let you go…”
