Chapter 709 - 267: Another Hacker Powerhouse Emerges in the Divine Martial Realm (Part 2)

Could it be just a polite gesture?

Ming Lan was exasperated, "I gave it sincerely, but she accepted it all too naturally!" Couldn’t she at least pretend to decline a few times?

"Not only did she take the items for free, but she also left you with a message." The bartender’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

"Oh?" Ming Lan sat up straighter, "What did she say?"

The bartender, with a playful attitude, said, "She said, although the boss’s taste is a bit ’unique’, he handles things quite smoothly."

The word ’unique’ was deliberately emphasized, clearly not a compliment.

"Ha!" Ming Lan hung up the phone abruptly.

He reached his left hand into the hoodie’s pocket, feeling the stubbly bald head, incredibly frustrated. No wonder that day in Golden Gate City, his grandfather insisted on taking him to get a haircut.

Turns out, it was that ’Old Ancestor’ who found him distasteful.

Just thinking about that young girl, having to treat her with utmost respect every time he sees her, made Ming Lan feel awkward.

Fallen Demon Street got its name because it’s where the most formidable exiled superpowerful beings of the Divine Martial Realm live.

The street ends at the foot of the Bai Ze Mountain Range, where there stands a grand and imposing estate.

Towering black iron walls surround the entire estate, with a demon statue wielding a scythe standing atop the estate gate.

This is the ’Demon Palace’, the residence of the Hell Palace’s master, and also the home of Yan Jingchen and his three companions.

Even though the Hell Palace was destroyed and the four great palace masters died overnight, everything within the Demon Palace remained orderly.

Guards stood inside and outside the Demon Palace walls, diligently defending every person approaching the palace.

It seemed the death of the four palace masters didn’t affect them much.

Because the true master of the Hell Palace was never Yan Jingchen and the others, but their foster father.

The Demon Palace guards knew the Old Palace Master was powerful; no one dared to intrude upon the palace lightly.

Until—

A black off-road motorcycle roared in from the end of the road and stopped arrogantly outside the Demon Palace. The woman on the bike wore black clothes and pants, but oddly, shouldered a discordant canvas bag.

The guards inside and outside the Demon Palace were simultaneously alerted.

"Someone is trespassing in the Demon Palace, prepare for combat!"

The bombing cannon mounted on the Demon Palace tower immediately aimed at the off-road vehicle, with no hesitation, firing the first shot.

The shell surged towards Xu Xingguang.

Just as the shell was about to fall on Xu Xingguang’s head, the handlebars of the motorcycle beneath her suddenly opened, shooting a small bullet emitting a blue gleam into the sky.

The bullet shot straight towards the tower’s shell.

Once the mini bullet ascended, it seemed as tiny as a fly, barely visible. But when it collided directly with the Demon Palace’s shell, its power exceeded that of the shell.

In the sky, the collision tore through, exploding instantly.

It was the Demon Palace’s shell that was blown up.

In the moment the shell from the Demon Palace exploded, the bullet from Eagle Sparrow pierced the air, accurately landing inside the Demon Palace tower.

Boom!

The tower used by the Demon Palace to fend off invaders was shattered.

Witnessing this, the guards within the Demon Palace changed expressions drastically, alarms blaring loudly throughout the palace, catching the attention of everyone on Fallen Demon Street.

"The Demon Palace has been invaded?"

"Are those two not satisfied with killing the four palace masters of the Hell Palace, and now want to take down the Old Palace Master’s hideout?"

"Back then, the Old Palace Master single-handedly broke through the Eastern Alliance’s encirclement of strong individuals, coming to settle on Bai Ze Island. He should be considered a top-tier strongman in the Divine Martial Realm, and these two dare to take down the Old Palace Master’s lair? Should it be considered bold or foolish?"

"I heard the Old Palace Master’s plane has already reached the Black Sea, and will arrive at Bai Ze Island within half an hour; these two are courting death!"

They all believed that the invaders of the Demon Palace were persons 099 and 100.

Little did they know, Huo Wen’an was also unaware of Xu Xingguang’s plan.

Huo Wen’an, seeing Zheng Qin and Ying Ziyao returning to the hospital together but not spotting Xu Xingguang, lifted his gaze towards the Demon Palace’s location, restraining his anger as he questioned Zheng Qin, "I told you to follow the lady, why did you return alone?"

Zheng Qin’s face turned a bit pale, having guessed that the disturbance at the Demon Palace was caused by Xu Xingguang.

Facing Huo Wen’an’s fury, Zheng Qin didn’t dare to speak.

Ying Ziyao was relatively calmer, explaining, "Earlier we accompanied Xingguang to the street, she went into a bar to buy a computer, then told us to return first, saying she had some things to attend to."
