I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Luo finally entered the inner city.

Unlike the ancient and oppressive style of the outer city, the scene before you is suddenly open and bright as soon as you step into the inner city.

Here, the uniform black stone houses are no longer replaced by ornate pavilions and towers with carved beams and painted rafters.

The bluestone path underfoot has been transformed into a wide street paved with some kind of warm and lustrous jade.

The "people" walking on the streets were no longer wearing the uniform gray robes of the outer city, but instead wearing well-tailored, exquisitely made luxurious silks.

They were elegant in demeanor and solemn in expression, gathering in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones.

The entire inner city looks like an ancient noble world that is isolated from the outside world and has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Of course, all of this is just a facade.

In Jiang Luo's right eye, these well-dressed and seemingly respectable "nobles" all possessed a calamity power within them that was many times greater than that of the "residents" of the outer city.

them……

It's all calamity!

Even the weakest one has reached the S-rank!

The highest level is Super SS!

Jiang Luo's appearance was like a drop of cold water falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the inner city.

His white, somewhat bulky down jacket stood out starkly against his surroundings, appearing unusually conspicuous.

Almost simultaneously, the eyes of everyone on the street focused on this uninvited guest.

At first, I was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, that astonishment turned into undisguised contempt and disgust.

"Where did this stray dog ​​from the outer city come from? So filthy, how dare it step into the inner city?"

A handsome young man holding a folding fan frowned and covered his mouth and nose with the fan, as if Jiang Luo had some unpleasant smell.

His voice was filled with an arrogant and condescending tone.

Another woman, who appeared to be his companion, spoke up directly, her tone full of disgust.

"What's wrong with Steward Zhou? He can't even keep an eye on a stray dog ​​from outside the city. He let him in and made an eyesore."

"Get rid of it quickly, it's annoying to look at."

"Shadow Guards, seize him! Skin him alive and make a rug!"

As the "young master's" words fell.

A dark shadow silently separated from him, instantly transforming into an assassin dressed in a black bodysuit and wearing a mask.

That shadow guard's strength had clearly reached the peak of the Super S-class, his aura was cold and deadly.

The moment he appeared, his figure blurred again, as if he had merged into the air.

next second.

A sharp claw, gleaming with a cold metallic light, silently appeared behind Jiang Luo's neck, its target aimed directly at his vital area.

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless, devoid of any harshness.

The surrounding "nobles" already had smiles on their faces, as if they were watching a good show.

In their eyes, this arrogant outsider would be torn to shreds by the shadow guards in the next second.

however.

Faced with this fatal blow, Jiang Luo didn't even turn his head.

He just waved his hand casually behind him, a little impatiently.

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out.

The shadow guard, whose strength reached the Super S level, couldn't even let out a scream.

His claws, sharp enough to tear through space and pierce through everything, shattered instantly when they touched Jiang Luo's chubby little hand!

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and terrifying force surged through his arm and into his entire body.

boom!

The shadow guard's body exploded into a thick cloud of black mist in mid-air, then slowly dissipated without leaving a trace.

The street fell silent instantly.

All the discussions and laughter came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

The smiles on the faces of those "nobles" froze completely.

They stared wide-eyed at the dark gold, their mouths slightly agape, in disbelief at the scene before them.

What happened...?

Where is the shadow guard?

What about that powerful Shadow Guard who could easily slaughter an ordinary S-rank Calamity?

How... just like that, it's gone?

The young "gentleman" holding the folding fan lost all color in his face in a short moment.

His hand holding the folding fan was trembling slightly.

Fear, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed his reason.

Jiang Luo withdrew her small hand, patted off non-existent dust from her palm, and then slowly turned around.

He looked around at the "nobles" who had instantly gone from arrogant to terrified, and a naive smile appeared on his chubby little face.

"Since that's the case..."

"Then... let's continue eating!"

Jiang Luo chuckled softly and spoke in a childish voice.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every "person" present.

Then, the small figure dashed away!

……

at the same time.

Inside that temple.

Zhou Yuan, the current head of the Zhou family, was standing quietly with a group of core members of the Zhou family in front of a huge water mirror.

The water mirror did not reflect the riots taking place in the inner city.

They didn't care what was happening outside.

because……

There are more important things to do right now!

In the water mirror before them was an even larger altar, filled with bloodshed and an ominous aura.

In the center of the altar, a towering crimson pillar of light was slowly dissipating.

As the beam of light dissipated, the intricate and eerie runes around the altar gradually faded away and eventually disappeared completely.

The whole process was quiet yet eerie.

As the last glimmer of blood completely dissipated, a member of the Zhou family dressed in black, with uncontrollable joy and excitement on his face, strode in from outside the hall and knelt on one knee before Zhou Yuan.

His voice trembled as he reported loudly to his superior:

"Lord Yuan!"

"The sacred ritual... was a success!"

"The soul and life of that sacrificer have been perfectly integrated into the seal, becoming the final shackles binding the king!"

"From this moment forward, the king's power will be entirely at our disposal!"

"We...have successfully taken control of the king!"

boom!

These words, like a thunderclap, resounded in the quiet temple hall.

Upon hearing these words, all the core members of the Zhou family showed expressions of relief and ecstatic joy.

It worked!

The final plan, which has been planned for hundreds of years, sacrificed countless people, and waited for countless days and nights, has finally succeeded today!

Zhou Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

He could clearly sense that in the deepest part of the temple, in that "Abyss of Nothingness" that was sealed and isolated by layers of barriers, a terrifying power large enough to destroy the world was establishing a faint but real connection with his spirit.

That is……

The power of a monarch!

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, and in those pupils burned a flame called "ambition".

He had finally waited for this day.

"very good!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand with an air of triumph, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"Pass down my orders!"

"Prepare to open the teleportation portal immediately! Notify all clansmen abroad, it's time... to seek revenge!"

"Our first stop: Beijing!"

"I want that old bastard Chen Wang and those other fools to watch as the Extraordinary Bureau, which they've protected their whole lives, is reduced to ashes under the iron hooves of the Zhou family!"

"I want the whole world to see who the true master of this world is!"

"From this moment on, this world will be the hunting ground for the Zhou family!"

Zhou Yuan's voice echoed in the empty temple, filled with madness and domineering power.

The tribesmen below, infected by these words, all showed fanatical expressions and shouted in unison.

"Long live Lord Yuan! Long live the Zhou family!"

Amidst this frenzied atmosphere, a younger-looking member of the tribe seemed to remember something and whispered a reminder.

"Lord Yuan, that brat who broke into the outer city and is now wreaking havoc in the inner city..."

"Should we send someone to handle this first?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan waved his hand dismissively, his face full of contempt.

"Just a little bug with a bit of brute force, who doesn't know its own limitations."

"By now, they've probably been torn to shreds by our inner-city ethnic group!"

"So there's no need to pay attention to it."

"Right now, nothing is more important than ruling the world!"

In his view, Jiang Luo was nothing more than a minor interlude, an insignificant variable.

In the face of absolute power, any struggle seems pale and powerless.

however.

Just as Zhou Yuan was in high spirits and preparing to issue the next order to begin the Zhou family's grand ambition of "ruling the world".

An unexpected change occurred!
