Xia Feng’s sudden statement caught Elder Gulu off guard.
The ropes binding them loosened and fell away, filling Elder Gulu with a sense of foreboding. He had only perceived Xia Feng’s strength as that of a Saint Monarch, yet Xia Feng's demeanor was far beyond anything a Saint Monarch could possess. His bearing and composure were not those of a mere Saint Monarch. Furthermore, the six women accompanying him showed no signs of fear.
The more Elder Gulu pondered, the more something felt amiss. Initially, he hadn't overthought things, believing his own strength and boldness were sufficient. But ever since the ropes binding Xia Feng had come undone, he sensed trouble.
“Who are you?” Elder Gulu’s expression turned grim as he stared intently at Xia Feng. This person felt entirely too deceptive, igniting suspicion in Elder Gulu’s heart.
“Didn’t I just tell you clearly? I’m not playing around anymore,” Xia Feng waved his hand and continued, “When will the Beast King be resurrected? Since I’ve encountered this, I’ll deal with it myself.”
*I’ll deal with it myself.*
The sheer, world-overlooking aura accompanying this statement stirred both excitement and unease within them. This was absolutely not the power of a Saint Monarch.
Elder Gulu took a step back, his face etched with terror, and asked, “Who exactly are you?”
Upon finishing his question, Elder Gulu unleashed his Saint Venerable strength, preparing to face Xia Feng.
“Kneel and speak,” Xia Feng’s tone shifted, and his full Saint Emperor Grand Completion strength was revealed, making Elder Gulu feel the immense disparity in their power.
(O_O)…
Elder Gulu’s eyes widened, nearly choking on his own saliva.
Saint Emperor Grand Completion???
This was utterly blinding to Elder Gulu. He could never have imagined that the human before him was a Saint Emperor Grand Completion. This was an unacceptable reality. After all, Elder Gulu was a Saint Venerable expert himself, and he knew that Saint Emperor Grand Completion cultivators did not exist in this world. Even their deceased Beast King was only in the early Saint Emperor stage, merely being resurrected after a long dormancy.
Now, faced with Xia Feng’s power, Elder Gulu was completely deflated. An existence like this could easily ensure the Beast King’s second death, even if it were resurrected.
*Thump…*
Overwhelmed by the aura of a Saint Emperor Grand Completion expert, Elder Gulu had no ability to resist. He fell to his knees before Xia Feng, his face still contorted in fear.
The other beastmen also showed expressions of terror. They were unaware of Xia Feng’s true strength, only witnessing Elder Gulu, their strongest, being forced to his knees. What was happening? Each of them was filled with a multitude of questions. However, with Elder Gulu, the strongest among them, kneeling, none dared to inquire. They all stared wide-eyed at Xia Feng.
“Speak. When will the Beast King be resurrected, and how?” Xia Feng asked slowly.
“Yes… yes… we found the method of resurrection and planned to proceed in three days. If you’re in a hurry, we can do it now,” Elder Gulu dared not defy Xia Feng’s interrogation and quickly revealed the truth. In the presence of a Saint Emperor Grand Completion, he felt less than an ant. It wasn’t that he was betraying the Beast King, but rather that he had no choice but to tell the truth.
“Then go and resurrect the Beast King now, so he can die sooner and be reborn,” Xia Feng instructed.
“Elder Gulu, are you betraying the Beast King?” someone finally couldn’t help but question.
Elder Gulu let out a furious roar, stating sternly, “He possesses the strength of a Saint Emperor Grand Completion. Do you think I want to betray him? If you’re so capable, you go ahead.”
(O_O)…
Everyone hearing this froze, their faces contorting in fear.
This human is a Saint Emperor Grand Completion?
How could they possibly not believe this?
