”Those people… have retreated!”

As Wang Chong looked around at the vacant surroundings, a tinge of unhappiness flitted across his face. These people could use their eyes to command the monster, so Wang Chong had believed that they would use the moment the shroud broke to take control of the monster and use it to hold him down. Consequently, Wang Chong had ordered Wei Guo and Wei Wu to set up many walls of silk and cloth within the residence to block their line of sight.

But he hadn't expected the black-robed men to be so restrained.

These people are really quite cautious. They're not willing to leave behind a single clue, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

He had exchanged blows with these people quite a few times, but even so, he had still not managed to get any information on them or their background.

They were apparently very focused on keeping their identity hidden and covering their tracks, leaving behind no trail for outsiders to follow.

”Young Master! What do we do now?”

A set of panicked voices came from the distance. Wei Guo was standing atop a wall, a bow and arrow in his hands. Across from him, the monstrified Lu Wu was charging at him.

Although the black-robed people on the outside had retreated, the Wang Clan's troubles were far from over. Lu Wu was currently unstoppable, with certain death awaiting anyone who ran into him.

Moreover, the Wang Clan was surrounded by residences, so if this monster ran out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Chong's brow creased as he swept his gaze over the Wang Clan. There was no one left who could stop the monster. His little sister definitely couldn't step forward, and Li Siye's state was extremely worrying. And anyone else would be burned to ash upon first contact with the violet flames.

Wang Chong could only delay, but this was no long-term solution. The most frightening thing was that the more he delayed, the more frighteningly powerful the monster became.

When its speeds reached a certain level, the walls of the Wang Clan would no longer be able to hold it.

”Chong-er! Stand aside! Let me do it!”

Suddenly, an elderly yet domineering voice came down from the sky, resounding as a clap of thunder. Whoosh! There was a flash of light as a dark figure dropped out of the air like some giant bird and landed in the Wang Clan Residence.

Before anyone else could react, that person's figure blurred. When they next appeared, they were in front of Lu Wu. Lu Wu's massive body made that figure seem even more thin and fragile, but in Wang Chong's eyes, the figure appeared to be as majestic and lofty as a mountain.

”Master!”

Wang Chong was elated, immediately recognizing the dark figure as his master, the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

”Chong-er, withdraw. Leave this beast to me!”

A wave of the Demonic Emperor Old Man's sleeve seemed imbued with an intense self-confidence. Just by standing there, that frail figure seemed to be rooted into the earth, as sturdy as a mountain.

Roar!

The giant beast roared. Lu Wu appeared to sense the energy on the old man's body and immediately turned, his crimson eyes like two red lanterns in the night as they stared at the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

Boom! The claws of four thick limbs crashed down as the three-meter-tall beast exerted all its energy. It cannoned into the air, shooting like a lightning bolt toward that seemingly frail and tiny old man.

Mid-leap, the massive monster opened its mouth. Boom! A pillar of violet flame shot out, surging toward the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

”Ah!”

Cries of alarm came from all around, and even the distant Wang Chong couldn't stop his heart from coming up to his throat. While Lu Wu's violet flames at the start could only ignite a person's internal energy, his violet flames were now so dangerous that not even Wang Chong dared to risk touching them.

Boom!

Wang Chong didn't have time for a warning as the massive pillar of flame crashed onto the Demonic Emperor Old Man.

”Master!” Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao shouted out at the same time, their hearts on edge.

But to everyone's shock, that destructive pillar of violet flame crashing on the Demonic Emperor Old Man's body was like a waterfall crashing onto the hardy rock of a lofty mountain. An invisible energy had stopped it and cut it into countless strands.

For the first time, the ever-harmful violet flames of Lu Wu had been ineffective.

”Beast! You still dare act recklessly before me?”
