Chapter 532 - 531: The Luo Family’s Despair

Chapter 532: Chapter 531: The Luo Family’s Despair

A young man appeared, dressed in a black robe with a matching conical hat and cape, looking as if he were one with the night.

He dodged left and right, and after an hour, he appeared before a large estate.

The Luo Mansion!

The Luo Mansion, home to one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families, was heavily guarded. Most of the patrolling Martial Artists were formidable, their patrols forming a Celestial Net of Heaven and Earth. Yet to the young man, it was like his own backyard.

He soon reached the rear courtyard where the women of the Luo Family resided.

A cold sneer played on his lips. He glanced at the hidden sentries around him, and his figure became a wisp of cyan smoke—this was the Misty Cyan Smoke Step of the Joy Sect.

A light breeze flickered past. The hidden sentries only felt a gust of night wind brush by, a chill running through their hearts. They looked closer but found nothing out of the ordinary.

’Did I just see a ghost?’

Several sentries, their eyes glinting sharply, scanned the area meticulously.

"No one’s there. It was just a gust of wind!"

"Definitely no one there. Still, we need to be careful. There’s a pervert in Yunhu City abducting women lately. Everyone, stay alert. The Luo Family women are all here. If anything happens to them, it’ll be our heads on the line!"

Another voice whispered, "Don’t worry, boss. The Luo Family’s hidden security is layered three deep. We even have big shots at the Condensing Vein Realm and Sea of Reincarnation Realm guarding in the shadows. Nothing can go wrong!"

A different voice said grimly, "It’s still better to be careful. Our lives depend on it!"

Listening to their discussion, the black-clad figure curled his lip in disdain. His gaze swept the area, quickly locking onto the young mistress’s private chamber.

It was an exquisitely arranged pavilion.

Pink silk curtains billowed in the night wind, carrying a tantalizingly feminine fragrance.

The black-clad figure flickered several times, instantly slipping into the pavilion. A moment later, he rushed back down with a lecherous expression, a young woman in his arms.

The appearance of a second figure immediately drew the attention of the hidden Luo Family sentries.

"Trouble! A pervert has broken into the Luo Mansion! Get the pervert!"

"Get the pervert!"

"Audacious thief! Surrender now!"

"Stop him! Don’t let him take the young mistress!"

Amid the shouts, figures rushed out from all corners of the Luo Mansion.

"A bunch of worthless chickens and dogs dare to stand in my way? There’s no place in Yunhu City this Crown Prince can’t go! All of you, die!"

The black-clad figure paid them no mind. With a wave of his wide sleeve, a pink Martial Vortex Wind swept out, blanketing the entire Luo Mansion in a thick, pink fog.

This was one of the black-clad figure’s signature Divine Abilities.

"Soul-Devouring Pink Mist!"

As soon as the charging Luo Family guards came into contact with the crimson mist, they all grew limp as if drunk. At the same time, a crimson Demon Serpent shot out from within the pink fog.

This was a Soul-Devouring Demon Serpent, nurtured by the experts of the Joy Sect with the essence of Yin Yang Merging Qi. It moved as fast as lightning, its scales were as hard as Vajra, and it possessed a sinister power.

These Demon Serpents were as fast as lightning. A few Luo Family guards who charged too quickly were instantly bitten in the face by the crimson serpents.

A few screams of agony rang out.

To the horror of the remaining Luo Family members, the bitten guards collapsed, screaming. Their skin shriveled before their very eyes as their Essence Blood was completely drained by the Demon Serpents.

One crimson Soul-Devouring Demon Serpent after another flew out, plunging the entire Luo Mansion into chaos.

The black-clad figure sneered, and holding the Luo Family’s young mistress, he covered several hundred zhang in the blink of an eye.

Just then, a gray, shadowy power surged out from the side of the path.

"Which friend has come to visit the Luo Family? Might you state your name, so that my Luo Family may offer you our finest hospitality?"

’Dark Element power... To think the Luo Family has a Dark Element Sea Reincarnation Strongman! But even if a Dark Element strongman is formidable, he’s no match for this Crown Prince!’

With a sinister cackle, the black-clad figure tapped his foot. A pink Yin Yang Divine Map appeared around him, rumbling as it met the gloomy point of light.

Silently, the gloomy radiance was swallowed and annihilated by the pink Yin Yang Divine Map.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, with a pale, beardless face, emerged from the pink mist with a cold expression. Dark Power coalesced around him, forming a rare Dark Divine Thunder that tore through the mist.

The Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Jiuyang.

Among the Twelve Aristocratic Families, the Luo Family’s power was ranked in the middle—neither high nor low. Although their business in Yunhu City was extensive, the Luo Family had always maintained a low profile.

This was especially true of the current Patriarch, Luo Jiuyang, who was known for being an elegant and humble gentleman of extraordinary character.

Few had ever seen Luo Jiuyang fight.

Even fewer knew that this Patriarch, renowned as a gentleman, actually wielded the world’s darkest and most profound power.

The Dark Element!

Dark Element Martial Artists were even rarer than their Light Element counterparts.

The Luo Family’s direct lineage inheritance, the *Scripture of the Root Wisdom of Darkness*, was of unfathomable might and had been passed down from Ancient Times.

At this moment, Luo Jiuyang, who had always been known as a gentleman, had a look of unprecedented fury on his face.

"Let Xi’Er go, and I’ll spare your wretched life! Otherwise, the Luo Mansion will be your grave!"

"You? Don’t even mention a no-name Patriarch of the Luo Family like you. Even if your City Lord came, he couldn’t hope to keep me here. This Crown Prince comes and goes as he pleases!"

A vast aura erupted from the black-clad figure.

A Half-Step Martial Arts Giant!

Luo Jiuyang’s expression changed drastically. The next moment, he grunted, and a low peal of thunder echoed in the Void. A bolt of black lightning shot across a hundred zhang of empty space, rumbling as it descended upon the black-clad figure.

It was the Great Black Heaven Divine Thunder from the Luo Family’s *Scripture of the Root Wisdom of Darkness*.

Luo Jiuyang was the first person to have mastered this Dark Element Great Divine Ability.

A black bolt of lightning, carrying the true intent of Destruction, appeared above the black-clad figure’s head in an instant.

"A Dark Element Divine Thunder with this much power... you’ve got some skill. But it’s not enough to impress this Crown Prince!"

An intensely dense pink radiance erupted from the black-clad figure, like a Divine Saber cleaving the Void.

"Great Yin Yang Soul-breaking Blade!"

This was also a Great Divine Ability, one the black-clad figure had refined by extracting the pure Essence from 999 resentful couples, then fusing it with an immeasurable amount of yin-yang qi.

The blade’s light cleaved through the Great Black Heaven Divine Thunder. Luo Jiuyang’s pupils constricted as Dark True Power surged from his body like a torrential river, forming the Great Black Heaven Domain in front of him.

PFFT!

But in the next instant, Luo Jiuyang’s face fell. His Domain was sliced apart by the bolt of blade light as if it were tofu, and the light was already upon him.

"Patriarch, look out!"

"Master, be careful!"

Seeing this, the Luo Family experts who had rushed over felt their eyes were about to split with rage, a look of despair on their faces!

Luo Jiuyang was the Sea Stabilizing Pillar of the Luo Family.

If Luo Jiuyang died, all of the Luo Family’s glory would likely wash away like flowing water!

The black-clad figure sneered. It was a warning—an example to terrorize the others.

Anyone who dared to stand in his way would die.

BOOM!

The blade’s light, which moved like rushing thunder, was caught by a single hand!

That’s right!

Caught!

The owner of that hand had appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Jiuyang and caught the terrifying Great Yin Yang Soul-breaking Blade with one hand.

A figure stepped out of the Void.

It was a young man in black with a sinister air about him.

The many experts of the Luo Family were overjoyed. "City Lord!"
