Slap!
After a resounding slap that echoed throughout the hall, Hu San was sent flying!
Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected Chen Xiao to actually dare to act, nor had they expected Hu San to be sent flying so easily.
Even Hu San hadn't expected it. Chen Xiao's speed was too fast. He himself only realized he had been hit when he was already flying, leaving him no chance to dodge.
When he got up, he was naturally furious.
"Brat, how dare you hit me! If I don't kill you today, then my twenty-plus years on the streets were for nothing!"
Hu San's body became a blur as he lunged fiercely at Chen Xiao.
Although his strength hadn't reached the Hua Jing realm, he was at the peak of Qi Jing, practically half a step into Hua Jing. Naturally, he didn't take the young Chen Xiao seriously.
However, before he could get close to Chen Xiao, a shadow faster than him suddenly shot out from the side and violently rammed into him!
Bang!
After a dull thud, Hu San was sent flying again.
When he got up, he saw a man in a black training suit standing before him.
Hu San froze. This was a Hua Jing Grandmaster!
At this moment, the man in black berated him angrily, "How dare you act out on the Dragon King's pleasure boat? Are you tired of living?"
Hearing this, Hu San immediately understood that this Hua Jing Grandmaster was one of the Dragon King's subordinates.
But he was wronged. He wanted to argue, "Esteemed Grandmaster, I wasn't the one who made the first move. It was that brat. He's the one looking for death. If you're going to hit someone, you should hit him!"
The black-clothed Grandmaster roared, "The Dragon King has arrived. Shut your mouth immediately!"
Only then did a man in a red robe slowly stride into the hall.
As soon as he appeared, all eyes were drawn to him.
Chen Xiao was no exception. When he saw the Dragon King's true face, he was immediately stunned: "So the Dragon King is him!"
It turned out the Dragon King was the bald man in red that Chen Xiao had met at the central hospital yesterday. He remembered this person was called Long Xiao!
Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
Who would have thought that the dignified Hall Master of the Underworld Palace would be a eunuch!
Han Jiuchian frowned slightly at Chen Xiao's reaction and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, do you know the Dragon King?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "I wouldn't say I know him. I've only met him once!"
Han Jiuchian mused, but said no more.
At this moment, the Dragon King had already entered the hall. He was smiling, like a Maitreya Buddha.
Most of the people present were seeing the Dragon King for the first time. They hadn't expected the notorious Dragon King to be such a benevolent-looking person.
Behind the Dragon King were two more people.
One was a true eminent monk, and he was quite old, with a white beard.
However, his fierce expression was completely at odds with his identity and age, making him look very unapproachable.
Chen Xiao had also seen the other person. He was tall and imposing, with a scorpion tattoo on his face.
It was the scorpion man who had gone to Jiangcheng with Xu Ning to deliver the letter.
The scorpion man, the fierce monk, and the black-clothed man who had just knocked Hu San down.
From their auras, it was evident that all three were Hua Jing Grandmasters.
Most of the influential figures present were martial artists, and they naturally knew what three Hua Jing Grandmasters meant.
One Hua Jing Grandmaster could dominate a region. What about three Hua Jing Grandmasters working together? Their strength was unimaginable!
The Dragon King casually brought three Hua Jing Grandmasters with him upon his arrival. It seemed the strength of the Underworld Palace was indeed as terrifying as the legends said!
Moreover, everyone noticed that they couldn't discern the Dragon King's strength, which meant his power was unfathomable, far beyond theirs. He might even be comparable to the Four Supreme Experts on the Heavenly Ranking!
However, if Chen Xiao knew their thoughts, he would have burst out laughing on the spot.
Because what they couldn't see, Chen Xiao saw very clearly.
This Dragon King, the Hall Master of the Underworld Palace, was not only a eunuch, but also an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.
Although he didn't know why such a person could become the Hall Master of the Underworld Palace, Chen Xiao could indeed feel no fluctuation of internal energy within him, indicating he was just an ordinary person.
The Dragon King walked onto the main stage at the end of the hall, with the three Grandmasters positioned behind him, providing him with support.
He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I am Long Xiao of the Underworld Palace. Welcome, everyone!"
As he said this, he specifically looked at Chen Xiao and smiled at him.
Clearly, he also remembered Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao nodded at him, acknowledging the greeting.
Then, the Dragon King began to get to the point.
"I know all you influential figures from Jiangbei must be curious about my purpose in inviting you here!"
"And I also know that you must be wondering if the Underworld Palace is as overbearing as rumored, intending to sweep across the entire Jiangbei!"
After saying this, the Dragon King suddenly paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Dragon King's next words.
Finally, the Dragon King spoke, shaking his head and saying, "It's not like that. My original intention in inviting you all here was simply to make friends, nothing more..."
At this point, his expression suddenly darkened, and his tone shifted abruptly!
"However, I didn't expect that people from Jiangbei would be so unfriendly to me! If I had known this earlier, I, the Dragon King, would not have set foot in Jiangbei!"
Everyone was completely bewildered by what the Dragon King was saying, and their gazes at each other were filled with confusion!
The Dragon King continued:
"It's a pity that things have already happened. I must seek justice for my brother! Who did it? Do you dare to step forward?"
The crowd began to whisper, discussing what could have caused the benevolent Dragon King to suddenly become enraged.
Han Jiuchian raised his head and asked the Dragon King, "Dragon King, what exactly happened to make you so angry?"
The Dragon King said expressionlessly, "Just yesterday, my good brother Han Bin was on his way to do a job for me when he was involved in a car accident. A truck traveling at 120 miles per hour in the city head-on collided with my brother!"
"It's obvious that this car accident was not a random event. It was definitely a deliberate plan targeting him!"
"Although my brother was lucky and survived, I must find the person who harmed him. Otherwise, I will no longer have the face to face my brother!"
Han Jiuchian frowned and said calmly, "Dragon King, then how can you be sure that the person who harmed your brother is among us? The Underworld Palace acts arrogantly and has made many enemies. How do you know it wasn't someone else who did this?"
As soon as Han Jiuchian finished speaking, the black-clothed Grandmaster beside the Dragon King suddenly attacked.
"Bold Han Jiuchian, how dare you disrespect the Dragon King! You are seeking death!"
