C777 Huo Dongcheng Who Was so Angry That He Spat out Blood(2)

He might just be the first monk in history to cough up blood out of sheer surprise—or because, in the presence of the woman he loves, he called another man "master."

"How is this possible... how could it be... who exactly are you? It's one thing for a King-level warrior to serve you, but a Sovereign? How could a Sovereign possibly call you master..." Huo Dongcheng questioned in disbelief, blood trickling from his mouth.

"My master's identity is beyond what a small fry like you can comprehend. Forget a Sovereign; even an Emperor, as long as they're beautiful, would become my master's servant," Hongnu retorted sharply.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. It was clear Hongnu was deliberately provoking Huo Dongcheng after seeing him cough up blood, and she was taking the opportunity to elevate her own status.

"An Emperor, as long as they're beautiful, would become his servant... how could that be... ugh..." Huo Dongcheng couldn't believe it, yet the frustration in his heart wouldn't fade, causing him to cough up blood again.

"Whatever... I'm just stating the facts. Believe it or not, your Huo family dared to provoke my master. It's only because my master doesn't bother with you that you're still around. Otherwise, your family would be history. Yet here you are, ungrateful and courting death..."

"Ugh..."

The more outrageous Hongnu's words became, the more unstable Huo Dongcheng's emotions grew. It seemed he was starting to believe her, and even the five King-level warriors with him began to look at Woo Zhengyang differently after hearing what Hongnu said.

Suddenly trapped and forced to accept a master at the Shape Gathering Stage, the five of them were naturally reluctant. They knew Woo Zhengyang had a Sovereign-level practitioner by his side, which was certainly unusual, but they couldn't quite grasp how unusual. After hearing what Hongnu had to say, the five of them were a bit shaken. Could it be that their master had significant influence? If that were true, serving humbly as servants might not feel so bad...

"Enough!" Woo Zhengyang quickly intervened as he saw Hongnu about to provoke Huo Dongcheng further. Huo Dongcheng was still useful, and it would be troublesome if Hongnu's words drove him to his breaking point.

"Huo Dongcheng, tell me, what’s your connection to Huo Dongsheng?" Woo Zhengyang asked directly.

"You know Huo Dongsheng is part of my family?" Huo Dongcheng was clearly taken aback when Woo Zhengyang mentioned Huo Dongsheng's name. However, he quickly realized that although Woo Zhengyang and his companion were from the Golden Scale Domain, many people were aware of the Huo family's affairs. If they were interested, they would naturally know about it.

"Yet you still dared to detain him, and me too. I admit defeat, but if you let me go, I promise not to pursue this matter further," Huo Dongcheng conceded. Unfortunately, Woo Zhengyang wasn't fooled by such a poor act.

The words sounded good—release him, and he wouldn't pursue it. But Woo Zhengyang was certain that as soon as he left, Huo Dongcheng would be back with reinforcements.

Woo Zhengyang wasn't worried about him calling for backup, nor was he about to let him go without a fight. There was still a lingering doubt in Woo's mind, a feeling that he might have made a mistake somewhere.

"Did you all know I detained Huo Dongsheng?" Woo Zhengyang asked directly.

"People talk, and news travels fast. The Huo family is well-known in the Limitless Domain. Even if Huo Dongsheng was cast out, he still carries our blood. By holding him, you’re disrespecting our family."

"And me! I'm not like Huo Dongsheng. I'm a true heir of the Huo family. Huo Tianxin is my grandfather. Once I reach the Martial King Stage, I'll be the new head of the family. If you disrespect me, you're going against the entire Huo family and even the Limitless Sect!"

"But don't worry. If you release me, I promise to let bygones be bygones. I can even help you deal with Huo Dongsheng, quietly and without a trace. Just as long as you... heh heh..." Huo Dongcheng said, casting a lecherous glance at Hongnu and Bing Yue.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. This guy was really blinded by lust, daring to negotiate and even eyeing Hongnu and Bing Yue at a time like this.

"Enough with the nonsense. Tell me how you found out about Huo Dongsheng being detained. Was it the Acacia Sect that informed you?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled. Besides the Acacia Sect, not many in the Limitless Domain seemed to know about this.

Some folks have heard of the Golden Scale Domain, but Woo Zhengyang felt that the people from there wouldn't go against him just for the sake of others.

"That's right, it was Feng Ji, the leader of the Yin Sect from the Acacia Sect, who came to inform my family. You've probably met that enchantress before; she's quite the looker, isn't she? But what you might not know is that she's even more skilled in the bedroom."

"If you can fulfill my wishes, I can arrange for you to experience her talents firsthand. In fact, I could even let you have a go with all the female disciples of the Acacia Sect, and even the partners of the male disciples..."

"Whatever you desire in the Limitless Domain, just say the word, and I can make it happen for you..."
