I Am Overlord

ursuing Xiang Shaoyun at that time.

Xiang Shaoyun had only been able to escape to the Soaring Dragon Province after braving through numerous dangers.
One could say that Xiang Shaoyun harbored a great grudge against Hong Liliang and his clan.
They were among his first targets to be eliminated.

At present, Hong Liliang was in a meeting with several other people in the governor's manor.
Hong Liliang was a rosy-faced middle-aged man.
He looked righteous and fair, a person that one could easily trust.

Seated on the governor's seat, he looked at the people across him and asked, ”Why is Litao still not back here? Nothing had happened there, right? ”

”I doubt so.
Lord Litao went there with so many experts.
Even if they can't enter, they will still be able to leave, ” replied someone.

”That's right.
The Buried Monarch Mountain Range only has some powerful demonic beasts.
Not many existences there can threaten Lord Litao.
Perhaps they will return in honor in a day or two, ” said someone else.

”I hope so, ” said Hong Liliang with a sigh.
”The sect master has recently decreed that everyone should take note of that little bastard's whereabouts.
He might be returning for his revenge at any time.
The moment he is discovered, we are to kill him without asking any questions.
Additionally, take note of any strangers.
That kid will probably come with helpers.
We don't want to be caught with our pants down. ”

”Governor, is that little bastard really still alive? ” asked someone anxiously.

”Yes, he has been living very well, in fact.
I heard he is an Emperor already.
He had even killed the eighth young master, ” replied Hong Liliang.

”What? He's actually brazen enough to kill the eighth young master? ” exclaimed someone in shock.

”The grudge between them can't be resolved anyway.
Who wouldn't he kill? That's why he is definitely coming back for his revenge, ” said Hong Liliang.

Just as someone else was about to speak, a series of sounds broke out from outside the room.
However, the noise went away as quickly as it had come.
Hong Liliang and the others instantly sensed something ominous and smelled blood in the air.
They stood up and sent their senses outside, trying to figure out what was happening.

At the same time, Hong Liliang pointed at someone and commanded, ”Go take a look outside. ”

The selected person did not dare to disobey and left immediately.
He was never seen again, as though he had vanished without a trace.

”Dang Er, Dang Er, are you dead? Come back and report your findings, ” Hong Liliang shouted unhappily.

No reply came, and his heart thumped as he sensed that something big might have happened.

”Lord governor, why don't we go out together? ” proposed someone.

”Sure, let's go.
Don't tell me all the guards are dead, ” said Hong Liliang with a solemn nod.

Just as they were about to leave, a phantom shot inside through the door, giving them a fright.

Bang!

When the phantom crashed onto the ground, they noticed that the phantom was none other than the person they had sent outside.
He was dead.
Before they could recover from their shock, several other phantoms flew in, causing them to hurriedly dodge aside in panic.
It turned out that the phantoms were all corpses.

”Impudent! Who dares to kill members of the governor's manor? ” Hong Liliang berated with a frown.
