Chapter 178: Just the Tip of the Iceberg

in Dongzhou, and there have been many casualties."“The East Prefecture Police Department and the Military Command have received the news, and they are now searching the entire city. I'll go take a lo..."Do you have confidence" Ling Hao asked.

"As long as Ling Shuai has the determination, his subordinates will definitely do their best, even to death!" Yuan Hua nodded vigorously.

"Good!" Ling Hao nodded. "After we return from the capital, you devote yourself entirely to this matter. I'll give you three months. You must make this murky water of Yingmen clear!"

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Yuan Hua saluted in response.

"Hmm!" His voice trailed off, his pupils shrinking slightly.

He sensed two extremely terrifying auras of pressure sweeping towards him.

"Hehehe, you arrived quite quickly!" Ling Hao smiled faintly and then stood up.

Whew! Whew!

In a flash, two figures resembling phantoms appeared outside the two men's range of 100 meters, one tall and the other short.

The tall man looked to be in his early forties. His hands were soft and delicate, his skin smooth like polished jade, and his features were more refined than those of an average woman.

This is a very handsome man!

The man beside him had a rough appearance, with prominent features, thick eyebrows and large eyes. He was burly with broad shoulders, carrying a Guan Gong's big knife on his back. A strong smell of alcohol hung about him.

Just like the report from Xue Luosha, both of them are not weak. The handsome man has already reached the peak of War Venerable Realm, and the other person has also broken through to the peak of War Venerable Realm.

"I've heard so much about Great Xia Nation's commander, Ling Shuai. They say he's an extraordinary and handsome man. Seeing him today, it seems the rumors are true!" The tall man was none other than You Ming, the master of You Ming Sect, known as the Scholar of Dreams.

"Heh heh, is that so" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"However, you did surprise me. I didn't expect the master of the Underworld Gate to be such a handsome man!"

"What did you say" the deputy head of Youming Gate frowned.

"Hee hee, it's nothing!" The Specter Scholar stopped him with a chuckle and said, "To be praised by General Ling, this is an honor!"

As they spoke, Duo and Ling Hao walked over, their eyes scanning Yuan Hua.

"Lord Ling Shuai, I seem to have underestimated the people around you. I didn't expect that besides you, there would be another War Venerable in Dongzhou."

"It seems our intelligence system has a major problem!"

"Scared" Ling Hao smiled faintly again.

"Ling Shuai laughed!" The Netherworld Scholar also smiled and then changed the subject: "Lord Ling Shuai, you should know why I'm here, right"

"I'm not sure, why don't you tell me" Ling Hao replied faintly.

"A man like the Blood Demon King, you can just kill him, he wouldn't cause you much trouble." The Ghostly Scholar continued.

But you shouldn't have, absolutely not killed the emissaries of the Dark Domain. Today, even if my Ghost Gate didn't come, others would have!

"The authority of the Sanctuary of Shadows is absolute and cannot be challenged by anyone, so you've made a grave mistake!"

"Is that so" Ling Hao took a drag of his cigarette. "Then do you know what terrible mistake you've made"

"Are you saying I shouldn't take this mission, Ling Shuai All the way here to Daxia Country just to die" The Netherworld Scholar responded with a smile.

"You seem a little smarter than I thought." Ling Hao let out a string of eye circles and smiled faintly.

"Hee hee, Ling Shuai is very humorous!" The Netherworld Scholar smiled again.

"Lord Ling, I have a sudden suggestion. Would you be willing to consider it"

“Oh Tell me about it”

"With Ling Shuai's abilities, it would be a shame for him to settle down in this Great Xia country as a so-called king of the Western Region!" the Netherworld Scholar said with a laugh.

"The stage of this world is vast, far beyond your imagination. The world you currently perceive is just the tip of the iceberg!"

"If Ling Shuai is willing to go to the Dark Realm to develop, I dare guarantee that your future achievements will be far greater than staying in Daxia!"

"I can recommend you join the Elder Council of the Dark Domain Sanctuary. Only by going there will you know how vast this world truly is, and you'll also know how powerful the strong ones in this world are!"

"This proposal sounds pretty good!" Ling Hao's lips curled into a slight smile.

"That depends on whether Lord Ling will consider it," the Netherworld Scholar said, turning to Ling Hao.

"You know, just from this statement of yours, I can tell that your horizons are far too narrow." Ling Hao spoke again.

"The Xia Kingdom you know, is probably less than the tip of the iceberg!"

"The Great Xia Nation, passed down for thousands of years, has held dominion for almost half of global history. The splendor of the Great Xia once illuminated every corner of the world!"

"And what you call the dark domain world, is nothing more than a puppet of some ill-intentioned countries. For Daxia Nation, it's simply beneath our notice!"

"If you truly want to move them, the Great Xia nation could simply field a team to wipe out the entire Dark Domain world."

"But now you brazenly invite me to the Dark Domain Temple to be one of their elders. Don't you think that's laughable"

"Hehehe, it seems Ling Shuai is very confident in the Great Xia Nation!" You Ming Scholar's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You're wrong. It's not that I have great confidence in the Daxia Kingdom, but you people from the Dark Domain are far too blindly confident!" Ling Hao responded coolly. "In the end, you're nothing more than a bunch of pitiful frogs at the bottom of a well!"

"Damn it, how dare you speak to me like that" the deputy head of You Ming Gate roared.

"Damn you!" Yuan Hua responded in a deep voice, a powerful aura emanating from him.

"Well!" The deputy head of the Netherworld Gate turned to Yuan Hua: "Such a small ant, daring to speak arrogantly, I think you're looking for death!"

As it spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from its body, enveloping Yuan Hua at incredible speed.

Whew!

Ling Hao raised his hand casually, effortlessly disintegrating the opponent's momentum. He then looked at them and spoke calmly.

"If you utter another useless word, I'll send you down to meet the Four Great Ghost Kings first."

"Hmm!" At Ling Hao's words, the Netherworld Scholar frowned slightly.

"By the way, you probably don't know this yet," Ling Hao turned to the Specter Scholar.

"Of the people sent by your Netherworld Gate to Daxia Country, only the two of you remain alive. The others have become true spirits of the underworld."

"What do you mean" The Underworld Scholar's face was no longer as calm and composed.

"Didn't you say your intelligence system had a big problem before" Ling Hao smiled. "Congratulations, you got it right, plus ten points for you!"

"The people you brought here, apart from the two of you, have all been killed by our people!"

"Hmph! Arrogant!" The deputy head of the Netherworld Gate snorted coldly: "A small place like Eastern Continent, apart from you, who else could have killed the Four Ghost Kings!"

"Don't believe me" Ling Hao raised his lips slightly. "You'll believe it soon enough!"

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Just as Ling Hao's voice fell, groups of black shadows flew over from around the lawn.

Then, it landed in the vicinity of the four people with a dull thud.

These shadows are the ones led by the Four Ghost Kings of the Netherworld Gate.

Without exception, they have all died long ago! The bald man glanced at the butcher knife in Li Kai's hand and smirked."Do you think you can intimidate us with a butcher knife""My fellow villagers are just trying to make a living here, why are you...
