Chapter 460: Breach

[L-little master?]

They looked at one another, each more puzzled than the next.

[What’s the strongest Divine Dragon doing, not chasing Zhuo Fan and instead getting acquainted with the Luo clan? By the looks of that flawless bow, they’re pretty close, even calling him little master.]

Zhuo Fan grinned, pulling Gu Santong in front, “Ha-ha-ha, you didn’t know? Let me make the proper introductions. Gu Santong, my godson.”

[What?!]

Everyone stared at him with dull and blank looks.

That little explanation was enough to justify the little master title. With his position, calling the kid a kind of young master was totally within his purview.

What got the crowd baffled though was, how did the demon Gu Santong end up as his godson? No one could tame the freak for three centuries but Zhuo Fan just showed up and it was a done deal?

Everyone made strange faces at Zhuo Fan.

“Steward Zhuo, when did you and Gu Santong have the ‘fortune’ to get so close?” Grandmother probed.

Zhuo Fan smiled, “Around eight years ago, me and young Sanzi traded blows leading to us becoming the father and son duo we are today, ha-ha-ha…”

“Oh, I see.” Grandmother nodded.

She used to wonder why they fought a mean fight back in the imperial palace. It was now obvious from their close relationship.

And since they knew each other before it, that battle was just a farce.

And by connecting the dots with the imperial family’s attitude for the seven houses, Grandmother smelled a conspiracy.

Grandmother turned grave, “Steward Zhuo, what have you planned after this war?”

Zhuo Fan praised [Smart.] and smiled, “Don’t worry, I have everything set up.”

Grandmother nodded.

Only now did she have an inkling as to what was with those series of strange events so far. Why the imperial family broke it off with Luo clan over a mere marriage proposal, why instead of keeping the seven houses in check, it turned a deaf ear to the Regent Estate’s blind ambition.

With Zhuo Fan’s shindig at the Imperial Palace as the start, it had already exposed the imperial family’s intention of clashing with the houses. Zhuo Fan didn’t just lash out either, having seen through it.

The way he pulled away Gu Santong, their great general, proved it. Not even the emperor knew of this by his behavior back then.

Hiding such a relation for five years was a killer move.

It all made sense. The imperial family wants domestic peace by eliminating any dissidents, Zhuo Fan had long since entertained the thought of taking on the world and Regent Estate used this chaos to expand.

Each with their own goal, all at the low low price of the other houses, out of the loop and toyed with like fodder.

Now that they were in Zhuo Fan’s boat, they were stuck with him and his orders. That was the purpose behind her question regarding Zhuo Fan’s plans after defeating Regent Estate.

His answer laid her worries to rest.

Veiled Dragon Pavilion and Sword Marquise Abode’s people were still clueless.

“Steward Zhuo, what’s become of Huangpu Tianyuan?” With such a huge commotion in the nation, they were all concerned about the Nine Dragons Diamond Body freak. Long Yifey couldn’t fight the question.

Everyone looked on hopefully.

Zhuo Fan snickered, “Do you need to ask? With young Sanzi’s help, he’s dead as a doornail!”

Everyone released a breath.

They figured it might be so. Nine Dragons Diamond Body was a freak but he didn’t stand a chance against Gu Santong and Zhuo Fan teaming up.

They only wanted confirmation.

They looked at the duo with more praise, [No one can top them in Tianyu!]

Luo clan had shot from a down in the dumps third rate clan to higher than the seven houses and their legacies in just a decade.

They all admired Zhuo Fan, for he was the one to bring it all to pass…

“Steward Zhuo, I have failed you. We’ve been attacking Caged Dragon City for ten days but can’t do anything to it.” Qiu Yanhai sighed.

Zhuo Fan glanced at Gu Santong.

The kid let out a theatrical sigh, “Ten days and no results. You sure are useless. Guess this young master and my dad will have to show you how it’s done.”

Qiu Yanhai’s face twitched.

Getting told off by a kid, even if a freak, bruised his pride.

The others sighed. [Like father, like son.] The ever stubborn Invincible Scamp took to the ill-reputed act of showing off like fish to water.

Zhuo Fan laughed, ruffling the kid’s hair in pride.

[My son is a hero. If young Sanzi doesn’t show it, how can he be called my son, ha-ha-ha…]

Under the expectant gazes of the excited audience, Gu Santong and Zhuo Fan entered the play. Zhuo Fan’s right eye flashed golden and Gu Santong’s adorable fists surged with rampant power.

“Look, someone’s attacking!” A Radiant Stage expert from within the city said.

The one next to him dissed him, “Lighten up, no matter who comes, we have the eight overseers watching the Heaven-locking Chain Array. Not even the emperor can breach it.”

“Oh, no, no, no… that’s Zhuo Fan!”

“What?”

People panicked at the familiar creepy smile and their hearts seized.

Zhuo Fan’s presence meant their Estate Lord…

Zhuo Fan’s shout traveled to every corner of Caged Dragon City, like a Demon Archon, striking fear in all.

“Divine Eye of the Void’s 2nd stage, Void Annihilation!”

“Soaring Fist, Splitting Heaven!” Gu Santong shouted, throwing his delicate fist into the air.

Boom~

Something shot through the air, breaking three hundred plus barriers like nothing. Then came Gu Santong’s outrageous punch, taking out the arrays.

Rumble~

Like a flood, the array operating Radiant Stage experts spat blood and collapsed lifeless.

Caged Dragon City shook like never before, reaching the brink of collapse.

Bam!

A door slammed open, revealing a Regent Estate’s elder rushing in, “Sir Leng, our defenses are breached! What do we do?”

Leng Wuchang sat in his seat with closed eyes, “What can we do? Surrender. Our only hope fell with Estate Lord. Since I heard Zhuo Fan just now it only means Estate Lord… Even if this array is yet to fall, holding out now has no meaning…”

“That…” The elder shook his head, crestfallen.

If not even the resourceful Leng Wuchang could come up with something, all that remained was for him to send the order to lay down their arms.

The house lords heard it and were totally against it. Zhuo Fan was their bitter enemy, how could they just give up?

Yan Bogong in particular, riddled with hundred poisons. The grand Hall Lord lost everything when a traitor defeated him in his area of expertise, poisons.

And now he’d go down as a captive? How could he stand for it?

What were they supposed to do anyway? Their boss was the strongest, Regent Estate. And since it had capitulated, their opinions hardly mattered.

“I went with Regent Estate because I wanted to get revenge on Zhuo Fan for destroying my home. But now, even the Regent Estate lies defeated, ha-ha-ha, heaven has forsaken me…” You Wanshan sighed.

The rest were feeling just the same…

Meanwhile, the attackers watched the father son duo do in an instant what they couldn’t in ten days.

All were bug eyed, some slackjawed, at the unbelievable power that existed in this world. It was like there were two Gu Santongs.

[There might not be another pair like them.]

Zhuo Fan’s order came, “Capture Regent Estate and bring me Leng Wuchang, alive!”
