"Huangfu Shanhe, stop right now!" Just then, a furious roar suddenly echoed from the live television broadcast.
On the screen, an elder was seen sprinting from a distant rooftop.
At the scene, Huangfu Shanhe frowned upon seeing the elder's sudden appearance. This elder was none other than the leader of the Six Doors.
The reporters present naturally broadcasted this entire scene live.
Zhou Hong, watching this unfold, also wondered why the leader of the Six Doors had suddenly arrived.
"Greetings, Sect Master," Huangfu Shanhe quickly bowed to the elder.
"Huangfu Shanhe, how dare you go on a killing spree here?" the Six Doors leader roared.
"I...!" Huangfu Shanhe didn't know how to explain.
"Huangfu Shanhe, as the deputy leader of the Six Doors, you inexplicably annihilated a fifth-rate family. Today, if I don't punish you, I'll be letting down heaven's justice."
"Sect Master, please, no," Huangfu Shanhe's face was filled with anxiety. He had intended to curry favor with Zhou Hong, but he never expected the Sect Master to appear so suddenly, and to act as if he were avenging the Changfeng family.
Seeing this on television, Zhou Hong could no longer remain idle. He had to rush to the scene immediately to save Huangfu Shanhe. After all, he was the one who had instructed Huangfu Shanhe to handle this matter.
Thus, Zhou Hong sped towards the Qiao family's residence at his fastest pace.
Zhou Hong was very fast, and fortunately, he wasn't too far away.
"Huangfu Shanhe, our Six Doors' duty is to protect the citizens of Huaxia. Yet, you went and wiped out the Changfeng family. Do you truly consider yourself the ruler of Huaxia?" the Sect Master bellowed, his voice carrying for miles.
At that moment, in countless households, people were watching the live broadcast, speculating why the leader of the Six Doors would so fiercely defend the Changfeng family. Was it truly for justice?
"Sect Master, I...!" Huangfu Shanhe tried to speak but couldn't find the words.
"Do you have anything else to say? You have committed such a heinous crime, and I will never forgive you. Hundreds of lives were taken by your hand. Today, you shall accompany them to the underworld." The Six Doors leader's gaze turned icy. He had initially intended to cripple Huangfu Shanhe, but he suddenly changed his mind, deciding to send Huangfu Shanhe to his death.
"Sect Master, no!" Huangfu Shanhe's face contorted, and he quickly begged for mercy.
"It's too late. When you killed hundreds of people from the Changfeng family, did you ever consider sparing them?" With that, the Sect Master prepared to strike.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly echoed through the air: "Try and touch him."
Hearing the voice from the air, the Sect Master frantically looked around but saw no one. Precisely, he couldn't discern who had spoken.
The media reporters at the scene also heard the threatening voice emanating from the air. They exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of its source.
"Who is it?" the Sect Master shouted.
Upon hearing this voice, Huangfu Shanhe's face lit up with excitement. He guessed it must be Zhou Hong, but why couldn't he see him?
Little did Huangfu Shanhe know, Zhou Hong was still seven or eight kilometers away. Fearing that Huangfu Shanhe would be killed before he could arrive, Zhou Hong had used a secret sound transmission technique to stall for time.
Thus, with Zhou Hong's intervention, less than a minute later, Zhou Hong finally arrived.
The reporters at the scene immediately turned their cameras towards Zhou Hong.
However, Zhou Hong did not appear in his true form but rather in the guise of a reclusive hermit.
Therefore, Zhou Hong's appearance caused a sensation.
"It's him, that reclusive hermit!"
"My goodness, he's actually come to the capital!"
Instantly, both those present at the scene and the countless viewers watching the live broadcast were stunned upon seeing Zhou Hong's face, and a buzz of discussion erupted.
Zhou Hong had chosen to appear in this disguise precisely because he intended to reveal his true identity to everyone present later. Otherwise, no one would believe him even if he claimed to be the reclusive hermit.
"It's you. I've heard of you. You guided Leng Feng, the founder of the Lone Wolf organization, in a past live broadcast, helping him reach the Martial Emperor realm, right?" the Six Doors leader said, looking at Zhou Hong and scoffing. Su Dan Novel Network.
"That's correct. Sect Master has an excellent memory," Zhou Hong nodded.
"Everyone says you are a reclusive hermit. I'd like to see just how 'high' you are." The Sect Master clenched his fists slightly. From Zhou Hong's guidance of Leng Feng, he could deduce that this hermit's strength should at least be at the Martial Lord realm, or very close to it. "I won't lie to you. I, Jin Wuming, the leader of the Six Doors, am a third-stage Martial Lord. I'd like to see what your true strength is."
"Then watch closely." Zhou Hong didn't want to waste any more words. He instantly kicked his foot, sending a roof tile flying.
"Whoosh!" The tile shot forward. Its speed appeared slow, as if thrown by an ordinary person.
However, only those involved knew the immense power carried by the tile Zhou Hong had kicked.
"Boom!" The Sect Master attempted to block, but in the next instant, he was sent flying directly by the tile.
"Gasp!" The Sect Master landed and immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
At the scene, and in countless households watching, everyone was dumbfounded.
They had never imagined that the reclusive hermit's strength would be so formidable, defeating the leader of the Six Doors effortlessly.
After spitting out some blood, the Six Doors leader scrambled to his feet, looking at Zhou Hong in disbelief.
"You couldn't even block a single tile from me, and you dare to challenge me? I'll spare you because of your position as the Six Doors leader. Leave immediately. As for Huangfu Shanhe annihilating hundreds of people from the Changfeng family, that was my decree. If you want to avenge the Changfeng family, then come find me."
"Junior has no such intention," the Six Doors leader said, lowering his head in utter defeat. He had some confidence just moments ago, but now, severely injured by a single tile from Zhou Hong, he had none left. He never expected this reclusive hermit to be so powerful.
"Then get out of here quickly."
"Yes." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Six Doors leader, Jin Wuming, scurried away dejectedly.
Meanwhile, countless people watching the live broadcast in their homes were incredibly excited. The hermit who had appeared last time had reappeared once again, and this time, he had surpassed their previous understanding of him.
In an instant, Zhou Hong gained countless fans.
