Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 45 The City Lord’s Shock
Xu Yining then realized that she was still clinging to the No.1 Shadow Guard.
Her cheeks instantly turned crimson.
She hurriedly jumped down and explained, "The one who was running away earlier was not an ordinary member."
Oh?
Ye Qingxue was taken aback, "Could it be a Protector?"
"No wonder you were forced to flee!"
"It’s a blessing you all are safe."
The Shadow Guards who had chased after also showed expressions of surprise.
"A Protector’s strength is at least at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, and they are experienced in combat, very fierce!"
"For both No.1 and No.2 Shadow Guards to return unscathed and even injure the opponent, it’s truly remarkable!"
"If it were us, facing a Protector, we probably wouldn’t even have the chance to escape, let alone injure them."
Listening to their misconceptions.
Xu Yining showed a strange expression and said, "Who said the one running away was a Protector?"
"No.1 Shadow Guard had already slain one Protector and three other members."
What?
Ye Qingxue’s eyes widened in shock, "No.1 Shadow Guard, you, you actually killed a Protector? And three other members?"
Wait!
She quickly realized the key point.
With a look of shock, she said, "Then the one who was chasing you just now was..."
If Jiang Fan could easily slay a Protector, how could he be chased by one?
The person capable of chasing them could only be...
"It was the Sub-Altar Master!" Xu Yining said with lingering fear.
Recalling the invincible swordsmanship and Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure of the opponent, she felt suffocated.
"The Sub-Altar Master?" Ye Qingxue’s voice trembled.
Such an existence was far beyond what the Shadow Guard Team she formed could handle.
Her original intention was just to clear out some ordinary remnants and ease her father, the City Lord’s, burden.
The Sub-Altar Master should be left to her father and other experts to deal with.
But No.1 Shadow Guard had confronted the Sub-Altar Master head-on and blinded his right eye, then returned unscathed?
She had always thought that listing Jiang Fan as No.1 Shadow Guard was overestimating him.
Only now she realized she had underestimated his true strength!
The Shadow Guards were also wide-eyed with shock, gazing at the invincible figure of the mysterious No.1 Shadow Guard, they couldn’t help but tremble.
Those who had harbored any defiance towards him now felt only reverence.
Ye Qingxue was secretly thrilled; bringing Jiang Fan into the Shadow Guard Team was indeed an extremely wise decision.
"Let’s go, we’ll check out the remnants’ bodies!"
Soon.
Four corpses were brought before everyone.
Seeing the fatal wounds inflicted with a single strike, the group couldn’t help but gasp.
Especially the remnant at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, who was cleaved into two pieces at the chest.
Their understanding of Jiang Fan’s strength was once again renewed.
"I know this person, he is the Right Protector of the Sub-Altar, named Iron Eagle, the closest confidant of the Sub-Altar Master."
Suddenly, a Shadow Guard recognized him and exclaimed, "His strength was second only to the Sub-Altar Master!"
"He specialized in a short blade, and had killed several Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation experts in Lonely Boat City, extremely fierce."
"Unexpectedly, he was slain by No.1 Shadow Guard’s blade."
A few others checked and exclaimed one after another.
"And those two remnants at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, they were also top-notch fighters just below the Protectors, infamous!"
"Oh, they were all killed by No.1 Shadow Guard!"
"And judging by the battle traces, the four of them were besieging No.1 Shadow Guard, yet were killed in return!"
This discovery left them again in astonishment.
To face the Sub-Altar’s strongest Protector and two infamous remnants in a siege, yet kill them all in return!
Despite having Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation strength, why did it feel like Foundation Establishment powerfulness?
Ye Qingxue was overjoyed, grabbing Jiang Fan’s shoulders, "Let’s go! I’ll take you to the City Lord Mansion right now, I want Father to see how impressive my Shadow Guard Team is!"
"Others, carry the corpses back to the City Lord Mansion!"
Xu Yining said, "I’ll stay out of it."
She took a deep look at No.1 Shadow Guard and solemnly said, "This time you win."
"When I break through to Foundation Establishment, we will compete again."
After saying that, she quickly ran off.
The Chen Family’s auction for the Pifu Pill was about to begin.
No matter what, she had to get it, to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go!
Otherwise, she wasn’t even fit to compare with No.1 Shadow Guard!
City Lord Mansion.
"What? Qingxue formed a Shadow Guard Team specifically to eradicate the remnants of Blood Bat Palace?"
Listening to the butler’s report, Ye Jifeng burst into rage.
"Isn’t this nonsense? Those remnants who escaped the Green Cloud Sect’s roundup, which one of them isn’t an exceedingly fierce expert?"
"Sending a group of youngsters with no combat experience to deal with them is courting death!"
"Bring her back immediately!"
At this moment.
Ye Qingxue came running in joyfully, bringing Jiang Fan with her.
"Father! Good news! Good news!"
Ye Jifeng was just looking for her.
He immediately began scolding her, "Nonsense! Who allowed you to form some Shadow Guard Team?"
"Disband it immediately!"
Noticing Jiang Fan beside her, with the mask bearing the number one, he felt it even more absurd.
"Right away! Now! Go!"
Ye Qingxue pouted and said, "Don’t underestimate my Shadow Guard Team, they’re quite impressive!"
Ye Jifeng huffed, "A bunch of youngsters who haven’t even grown up yet, how impressive can they be?"
"Have them all go back, stay with their families, and seriously cultivate, that’s the proper thing to do!"
"The task of eradicating Blood Bat Palace isn’t something that a group of kids should worry about!"
Underestimating my Shadow Guard Team?
Ye Qingxue chuckled secretly and clapped her hands, "Bring them in!"
So, the four corpses were brought before Ye Jifeng.

He recognized them immediately.
His face changed dramatically, "The Sub-Altar’s Right Protector, Iron Eagle! The Black Blade Brothers, Chen Jue and Chen Leng?"
Not only did he recognize the Protector, but he also recognized the two remnants at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
They were infamous experts of Blood Bat Palace!
Government experts had suffered considerable losses at their hands.
To cope with them, Ye Jifeng had deployed many experts, always on guard.
Who would have thought.
They were dead!
"Qingxue, did you, you do this?" Ye Jifeng couldn’t believe it.
Ye Qingxue crossed her arms, her chin lifted proudly, "It was my Shadow Guard Team!"
"But since you don’t think much of them, Father, I’ll just obediently follow your order and disband the Shadow Guard Team."
Saying this, she waved her hand to disband Jiang Fan and the others.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Ye Jifeng panicked, looking at the Shadow Guards again with deep appreciation, "Young talents, truly young talents!"
"As the City Lord, I apologize for my previous disrespect to you, young heroes!"
"Someone, prepare a feast, bring out the City Lord’s best wine!"
"Tonight, I must properly reward them!"
Ye Qingxue looked smug.
The Shadow Guards also felt exceptionally honored.
They exchanged glances and revealed the truth, "To report to the City Lord, we are ashamed."
"These four were actually slain by No.1 Shadow Guard alone."
