Chapter 11660 — Should Young Hero Lin Be Interested
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Outside the ancestral shrine of the Prince of Qi's Estate.
A hush fell over the entire scene, within and without.
Eight human heads were lined up in a row, neatly stacked at the main gate.
Compared with the towering mounds of thousands upon thousands of heads, such a sight was naturally far from grand—at most it counted as child's play.
Yet at this moment, the deterrent force of these eight heads far surpassed that of a mound of ten thousand!
Not only was the entire Prince of Qi's Estate silent from top to bottom, but even the great personages of every faction observing from afar were one and all shaken.
There was no other reason: these were the heads of the Eight Elite Guards.
Under the gaze of all present, Wei Baizhan and Li Qinghe and the rest of the Ten Great Criminals each took a grandmaster's chair and arrayed themselves in a row, straddling the seats with imperious ease.
The scene was plainly unremarkable, yet paired with the harrowing display these beasts had put on moments ago, the impact and oppression it brought to everyone was maxed out utterly.
Those were the Eight Elite Guards, after all.
They represented the Prince of Qi's Estate's finest trump-card fighting force; against any other power in the Inner Royal Court, they were a top-tier weight sufficient to tip the entire scales of victory.
Yet they had been slaughtered in public by Wei Baizhan and that pack of beasts.
The whole process—bloody, violent, and effortless.
With the Eight Elite Guards annihilated and the Prince of Qi himself nowhere to be seen, the fighting spirit of the remaining experts of the Prince of Qi's Estate was wiped out on the spot, and they had not a shred of will to resist left.
As for the great personages of every faction watching from outside the field, they too all fell into collective silence.
Before this, from their performance in the Night's End Palace incident, they had already known that Wei Baizhan and the Ten Great Criminals were very strong and very hard to provoke.
But their understanding had gone no further than that.
Strong as the Ten Great Criminals were, they did not believe their own houses were truly powerless to resist.
Especially after a host of old monsters had joined their ranks—in terms of overall strength, they reckoned themselves no longer inferior to the Prince of Qi's Estate.
Through today's battle, they could conveniently use the Prince of Qi's Estate as a whetstone to test the true measure of the Ten Great Criminals.
But now the measure had been tested—and they themselves had been silenced along with it.
Given the showing of Wei Baizhan and that pack of beasts, if the Prince of Qi's Estate were swapped for any of them, every last one without exception would likely fare little better.
The only final difference would be whether they died an ugly death or an even uglier one.
The Prince of Qin's Estate.
As the highest decision-making body, the four of the Prince of Qin looked at one another, speechless.
Qin Siren broke the silence with a bitter laugh. "I never imagined this Wei Zhao would truly grow into such a formidable force."
Beside him, Bai Shizu felt a pang of kinship.
By rights, he was the one of Wei Zhao's generation; in their prior understanding, he was the figure the Prince of Qin's Estate would put forward to match Wei Zhao.
But now, let alone matching Wei Zhao himself, even if he were to match Wei Baizhan and the others, he would fall into an obvious disadvantage in terms of strength.
Comparisons between people can kill a man.
These were the very words others had once used to marvel at him; now it was his turn to marvel at Wei Zhao.
"I truly cannot fathom it—where on earth did Wei Zhao scrape together such a pack of monsters?"
Qin Siren voiced the question in everyone's heart.
Even with the Prince of Qin's Estate's top-tier foundations, the number of experts it could field to match Wei Baizhan and that pack of beasts was pitifully few.
