Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1644: Chapter 835: Seal Core

Shadow’s cold voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, carrying an undeniable killing intent.

”This person offended our Tantai Clan’s esteemed guest, and is lightly punished. If there is a next time, I will eradicate his entire family.”

”Tan... Tantai Clan?!”

The leader of the guards shuddered violently, the blood drained from his face instantly, and his eyes were filled with incredible fear!

Being a person from Central Province, he understood too well what the word ”Tantai” meant!

It is truly a colossal being standing at the Peak of Central Province!

Not to mention the family behind their own lord, even the City Lord Mansion of Wanxiang Imperial City must bow before the Tantai Family!

He no longer dared to show any anger, not even hatred could arise, only boundless fear remained!

He quickly lowered his head, his voice trembling.

”Yes... yes! I understand! I have eyes but fail to see, offending the Tantai’s esteemed guest! I deserve death! I will take the lord away now! I dare not have a next time!”

As he spoke, he and another guard hurriedly lifted the severely injured, unconscious young lord, frantically squeezed through the crowd, fleeing the scene without looking back, not daring to leave a single harsh word.

The surrounding onlookers instantly buzzed, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity as they looked at Shen Qingtan and the other two.

Tantai Clan’s esteemed guest? These three seemingly ordinary women, could they possess such an astonishing background?

Just as Shadow was about to leave with Shen Qingtan and the others, the crowd in front of the street suddenly parted.

Three men dressed in uniquely styled black outfits, with a golden scale emblem embroidered on their chests, silently blocked the way ahead.

Leading them was a man with a stern face, eagle-sharp eyes, and a presence as solid as a mountain, surprisingly, he was also a King Realm expert!

The two behind him were slightly weaker, but had also reached the Peak of Sect Realm.

”Law Enforcement Hall business.”

The leading Black-robed Steward spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over Shadow and Shen Qingtan with the other two.

”Hurting others in the street, disturbing the order. Come with us.”

His gaze especially lingered on Shadow for a moment, filled with heaviness.

Clearly, Shadow’s method of quickly repelling the Peak Sect Realm guard and intimidating the silk-robe young lord’s guard leader caused him stress as well.

Shadow halted his steps, his gaze under the black robe calm, looking at the Black-robed Steward.

”They attacked first, intending to abduct our clan’s esteemed guest. I acted in rightful defense.”

”One-sided words.”

The Black-robed Steward remained unmoved.

”Right and wrong, the Law Enforcement Hall will make its own judgment. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

Shadow fell silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling to clash with the Law Enforcement Hall.

He slowly replied.

”Anyone present can testify to what the guard leader said earlier. He admitted they were the ones who first offended.”

The Black-robed Steward furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding crowd.

The crowd immediately started to stir, but facing the Law Enforcement Hall’s might, no one dared to easily speak up as a witness.

”Where are the witnesses?”

The Black-robed Steward asked coldly.

Shadow did not answer, simply watching him quietly.

The Black-robed Steward’s eyes showed impatience, he suddenly raised his hand, palm showing a palm-sized black token, with its surface engraved full of mysterious runes.

He whispered a few words to the token, and it immediately flashed with light.

Shortly after, a surprising scene unfolded.

The guard leader, who had already fled several dozen meters away with the young lord, suddenly froze, his eyes becoming empty and dazed, uncontrollably turning around, step by step walking back, stopping only before the Black-robed Steward.

The Black-robed Steward pointed the black token at the guard leader’s forehead, chanting words.

The runes on the token glowed with eerie light, enveloping the guard leader in an invisible force.

”Speak! Tell everything that happened here earlier! No concealment whatsoever!”

The Black-robed Steward’s voice carried a strange magic power.

The guard leader, eyes empty, repeated how the silk-robe young lord mocked and insulted, ordered them to act, and how Shadow instantly repelled the young lord.

Including Shadow’s final warning of ”offending the Tantai Clan’s esteemed guest, eradication of the entire family,” all entirely, word for word!

Even his own inner fear and words of admission and plea for mercy were recounted!

Throughout the process, the guard leader was like a soulless puppet, completely out of his own control!

”A technique similar to the Soul Capturing Technique...”

Shadow’s eyes under the black robe flickered slightly, recognizing this ability to forcibly read memory and control the mind, although its form differed, the effect was remarkably similar to the Soul Capturing Technique, seemingly augmented by the black token magical treasure.

The Black-robed Steward, after asking for some details upon hearing the guard leader’s recount, confirmed and retracted the token.

The guard leader’s body went limp, falling to the ground, his eyes regaining clarity but filled with extreme fear and dread, looking at Shadow and the Law Enforcement Hall like he was looking at demons.

The Black-robed Steward no longer paid him any mind, turning his gaze to Shadow, his tone slightly softened.

”The situation is clear. The other side provoked first, intended misdeeds. You acted in defense, understandable. This matter, the Law Enforcement Hall will not pursue further. You may go.”

He waved his hand, indicating to let them pass.

Shadow nodded slightly, saying no more, leading Shen Qingtan, Gu Ningshuang, and Qin Yurou swiftly through the crowd, disappearing at the end of the street.

It wasn’t until they went a long way, far from the commotion, that Qin Yurou patted her chest, speaking with lingering fear.

”I was scared to death! That person from the Law Enforcement Hall was terrifying!

What method did he use? That guard leader seemed possessed!”
