Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 204: You Can Eat Messily, But You Can’t Speak Carelessly!

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: You Can Eat Messily, But You Can’t Speak Carelessly!

BOOM!

This was followed by a terrifyingly loud explosion. Everyone stopped in their tracks, looking up toward the City Lord Manor. Instantly, they saw shockwaves spreading out in all directions through the void like a tidal wave.

"What happened?"

"Was that an explosion?"

"Don’t tell me it was Ning Xuan’s strange flying vessel!"

The crowd below buzzed with discussion.

High in the sky, some were utterly dumbfounded. Aboard the Qian Family’s Flying Ship, Qian Yourong and Qian Fanfan’s beautiful eyes widened, and they were rendered speechless.

"I remember that being Tianxia City’s City Lord Manor, right? How did it just explode?!" The speaker was the recently rescued Qian Manman. Having been transferred from Black Cliff Mountain ahead of time, he had missed the astonishing sight of the moving villa crashing into the Kuihu Mercenary Group.

However, the Qian family’s aunt and niece had been fortunate enough to witness it before. Even though they couldn’t see Ning Xuan’s moving villa now, they knew who was responsible.

"That guy is... he’s unbelievably audacious!" Qian Yourong murmured, jolted from her thoughts by Qian Manman’s words.

She could never have imagined that Ning Xuan would be so lawless! The City Lord Manor was the Heavenly Palace’s representative in Tianxia City! Even the most powerful of the Ten Clans, the Jiang Family, had to be respectful to the City Lord. But now, forget a home, the City Lord wouldn’t be able to find a single intact tile!

"Auntie, do we still have time to run?" Qian Fanfan asked Qian Yourong, blinking as she regained her wits.

Though she was clearly joking, she secretly clenched the hem of her dress. Her palms were drenched in sweat. She also never imagined Ning Xuan would dare to do something like this! That was the City Lord Manor! Across the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, probably only Ning Xuan possessed such guts and audacity!

Also high in the sky, inside the moving apartment, Chu Tian was equally speechless. He had only maneuvered his apartment into the air after hearing the massive explosion. While he also hadn’t seen Ning Xuan’s moving villa, he knew the capabilities of flying treasures produced by Bi Luo Palace. His moving apartment could withstand an attack from a cultivator at the peak of the King Realm, which meant Ning Xuan’s moving villa could probably endure an attack from an Emperor Realm powerhouse!

However, Chu Tian could rack his brain all day and never imagine Ning Xuan would use the villa’s function in such a way.

Using it to ram the City Lord Manor... who but him would even think of that!

"It seems I’ll have to learn a thing or two from him in the future!" Chu Tian muttered to himself. His previous conviction to keep his distance from Ning Xuan was now wavering. That move was simply god-tier!

"I heard the City Lord Manor is full of experts. I wonder how many of them have fallen this time!" he mused. He didn’t go to join the spectacle, however. He still had to participate in the Great Competition of the Ten Clans, after all. If he showed up at the scene now and was mistaken for Ning Xuan’s accomplice, it would be a huge problem.

「At the same time.」

Outside the ruins of the City Lord Manor, a middle-aged man disembarked from a Flying Boat with several others, staring blankly at the scene before him. He was Zhang Cheng, the City Lord of Tianxia City. This was his domain, so he naturally had eyes and ears everywhere. He had received the news the moment Ning Xuan killed Mo Qi and had been instantly enraged. The Molin Army was a sharp weapon under his command, and Mo Qi was unquestionably his right-hand man. Thus, he had acted swiftly, setting out personally.

He had just flown out of the City Lord Manor when a streak of light shot across the sky, immediately followed by a deafening explosion from behind. Just as he turned his head, a massive shockwave struck. Despite activating a protective cultivation technique, he was still sent flying. When he finally returned, disheveled and dust-covered, this was the scene that greeted him.

At this moment, his mind was a complete mess, with three questions swirling relentlessly.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened here?!

"City... City Lord... it’s gone. The City Lord Manor is gone..." one of his companions, an old man, muttered as he came to his senses.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. In the blink of an eye, the magnificent City Lord Manor had been razed to the ground. What in the world happened?!

Zhang Cheng’s body trembled, his lips quivering. A moment later, a roar shook the high heavens. "WHO DID THIS?!"

His robes billowed and his hair stood on end as his rage peaked. Naturally, no one answered. Instead, onlookers began to appear in the distance, their numbers growing by the second.

"This... Where’s the City Lord Manor?"

"Why is the City Lord Manor gone?! Don’t tell me that explosion just now was..."

Everyone who arrived was utterly shocked.

"He actually dared!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"How did that guy do it?!"

WHOOSH!

Zhang Cheng vanished from his spot and reappeared, grabbing one of the speakers. "Who is the ’he’ you’re talking about?!" he demanded, his voice dripping with killing intent.

"It’s... it’s..." The man’s face turned pale, too scared to speak. Ning Xuan dared to obliterate the City Lord Manor. If I snitch on him, I won’t even know how I died!

"Speak! If you don’t, I’ll kill you now and exterminate your ten clans!" The murderous aura radiating from Zhang Cheng had already solidified into a terrifying blade pressed against the man’s throat.

The man was terrified. The City Lord was clearly dead serious. If he didn’t talk, he would die right here, right now.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! It was Ning... Ning Xuan..." the man stammered, gritting his teeth as he finally said the name.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want!" Before Zhang Cheng could even react, Ning Xuan’s voice rang out from nearby.

At this, everyone was completely stunned, especially those who had just witnessed Ning Xuan annihilate the Molin Army. They had seen him head toward the City Lord Manor with their own eyes! He razed the manor and didn’t even run? Instead, he showed up at the scene? The word "audacious" didn’t even begin to describe this behavior.

"NING XUAN!!! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!" When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred. Enraged, Zhang Cheng bellowed and prepared to strike.

HUM!

A long spear materialized as a red-robed Wu Pianpian stepped in front of Ning Xuan, blocking the way. The aura of a King Realm powerhouse erupted from her, filling the air. At the same time, Yun Wangshu appeared beside them, mysterious runes coalescing in the air before her. This was the technique of a Dao Xuan Master! Conjuring runes from thin air was a skill absolutely on par with that of a late-stage King Realm expert.

Although a few men on Zhang Cheng’s side were about to step forward, Ning Xuan’s voice cut in again. "Hold on! Let’s get things straight. What do you mean, *I* did it?!"

He sounded completely innocent and incredibly aggrieved.

"You! Tell them!" Zhang Cheng yelled, yanking the tattler forward.

Since he had already started talking, the man knew he had no choice but to see it through. He quickly recounted everything that had just happened.

"Now, what do you have to say for yourself?!" Zhang Cheng trembled with rage. This guy was too arrogant! He killed his men, destroyed his City Lord Manor, and still had the gall to show his face!

"Are you kidding me?" Ning Xuan said, a look of profound injustice on his face. "The only reason I asked for the manor’s direction was that I suddenly remembered they mentioned wanting to pay the City Lord a visit. Since I had just killed people from the City Lord Manor, I obviously had to stop them. I’d only just caught up with them when we heard the explosion from over here, so I brought them along to watch the show!"

Many of the onlookers were simply flabbergasted.
