Chapter 140: Last Resort!
"Fuck off!" Ashen replied immediately.
"What? What did you say?" The attendant roared, just on the verge of pounding Ashen to a pulp.
Ashen quickly explained himself: "I meant this message is not something a mere attendant can hear. It is from my lord to your lord. This message is for his ears only. Call him and I promise that you will not regret it. I will take full responsibility if lord Qin Feng considers the message of minor importance."
Hearing the confident words of this old man, the attendant was convinced. However, just to take revenge for his previous misconduct and arrogant demeanor, he questioned: "Do you dare bet your life on it? If you do, I'll go and call my lord right now!"
Ashen acted to be caught off guard before pretending to hesitate and nodding in agreement: "Alright, I'll bet my head on it!"
The attendant laughed internally as if he had won the bet already:
Hehe, fool!
I'll just ask the lord to declare the message of little importance even if it is not. Today you'll lose your head here!
Smiling to himself, He went to inform Qin Feng who was busy in close cultivation.
Ashen waited patiently since he was so close to his goal. Just meeting him would be enough for him since after that, he will get his whole life's information through the system.
After an hour, the attendant returned. Ashen waited for another individual to appear, however, the attendant was alone.
The attendant came and bowed: "I apologize, but the lord has declined to come out. He has instructed us to have you remain here until he does. It will only take ten to fifteen days, so please stay. I assure you, we will not disappoint you with our hospitality!"
Hearing their offer, a frown appeared on Ashen's face as he cursed in his mind:
Do you think I have that much time to stay and wait here?
In five days, there is the emperor's birthday.
I'll have to leave before then.
Wow... It's as if he knows that I can't stay for more than five days and therefore he is refusing to come out!
"I don't think I can stay for more than a day." Ashen bowed and declined the offer, "This message is very urgent. I think you were unable to make him understand the urgency of the matter. Let me talk to him once, I'm sure I'll get through to him!"
The attendant sighed as he replied: "I told him everything. From the bet to the urgency of the message. Why do you think it took me an hour? It was strange. I have never seen the lord act so stubborn before. It was as if something was stopping him from meeting you. Nevertheless, I have to obey my lord's order, Please stay here until he comes out, otherwise, I'll have to resort to force to make you stay!"
Hearing the attendant's words, Ashen's eyes widened in realization as a thought flashed in his mind:
As if something was stopping him from meeting you...
These words, it's clear now...
It's the world's will protecting him from me. It knows that once he meets me, all his secrets will lay bare in front of me which will give me an advantage and hence it is stopping that from happening.
It also wants me to stay here for ten-fifteen days to make me miss the emperor's birthday and the chance to announce my participation in the throne race.
He looked up at the sky as he smirked:
Do you think you can stop me? I know luck is a very powerful thing, however, I can always use other ways to overcome the difficulties you throw at me.
Do you think I'll give up just because he refuses to come out? Just wait... I'll make him unable to stay inside this mansion!
Ashen simply thought instead of saying it out loud. The world's will cannot hear his thoughts, however, his words and actions could be monitored.
Ashen looked at the attendant and asked: "Is there any way I can meet lord Qin Feng today?"
The attendant shook his head and answered honestly: "No. As I told you, you cannot meet him unless he comes out of his close cultivation!"
In response to his words, Ashen sighed as a solemn expression appeared on his face: "You should know that I tried everything possible to solve this peacefully."
Then he turned around, his back facing the attendant: "Now I'll tell you my lord's order..."
As he was saying this, in his right hand, an illusory sword began to appear before shining brightly.
"If Qin Feng refuses to meet me, I should..." Taking a pause, he turned around in a flash as a word escaped his mouth: "Kill!"
As this word escaped his mouth, the illusory sword elongated like a whip before attacking the attendant like a snake going for the neck.
The attendant's eyes widened as the aura of death enveloped him. The sword was too fast to track, let alone defend against.
Swoosh!
Spurt!
Thud!
The elongated illusory sword sliced the neck in an instant, making the head fly and blood spurting out like a fountain.
However, that wasn't the end. The guards who witnessed the scene attempted to shout, however, no voice came out due to fear and shock.
The sword danced in the air as if a snake was wriggling before going for the guards.
The guards were only origin realm cultivators, not even able to struggle against the attack.
Soon, two more heads were lying on the ground with blood covering the area, creating a small pool of blood.
But, was this the end?
Of course not!
There were two more people in the mansion who needed to be cut down and Ashen needed to do it fast before the world's will could play any dirty tricks!
He raised his right hand in the air, his palm facing the sky. Closing his eyes, he focused on concentrating the sword qi and spatial qi in the air.
This was one of the most powerful attacks Ashen had since it combined two paths. The sword path and Spatial path.
Crack!
Soon, in the sky above Ashen's palm, a crack appeared in space.
Next, it shattered, revealing a black hole in the space from which the shining tip of a large sword emerged.
The sword continued to emerge from the hole, manifesting in the sky. This sword was made up of pure sword qi and didn't contain any material or metal.
The sword was massive, around 55 meters in length alone. The mansion appeared small in comparison to the sword hanging in the air.
Ashen didn't want many people to notice it due to its size. Without wasting any time, he folded his palm into a fist and slammed it down!

The sword followed the movement of his palm and began to slam down with massive force, cutting through the air pressure in between it's surface and the mansion.
It was clear that this mansion was done for and if no one inside noticed it, they would be swept up in the attack, getting killed without knowing what hit them.
However, without any mercy, the sword continued to bring its wrath down with full force on the mansion, before,
BOOM!!
