Ning Beichen dismissed the medical staff, preparing to take her back to Liu Yilin’s medical laboratory for treatment.
However, just as he was about to leave with Linglong, four foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes suddenly appeared at Linglong's villa.
"Shen Zong Ting?"
Ning Beichen frowned. He immediately saw through the origin of these four foreign men, as they were all carrying weapons from Shen Zong Ting, some of which he had previously seized.
Moreover, these four individuals were likely masters of Shen Zong Ting, or rather, super powerhouses. Their strength was far greater than those Ning Beichen had encountered before.
If Ning Beichen were merely a Grandmaster, he might not have won against them, or at least, not easily.
Although these four were not Grandmasters, their combined strength with their weapons, when attacking in unison, could approach or even surpass that of a Grandmaster. It was no wonder Shen Zong Ting had sent them.
The four men, wielding their weapons, surrounded Ning Beichen and threatened him sternly.
"Did you think you could hide here and we wouldn't find you?
You're too naive!
The dignity of Shen Zong Ting cannot be challenged. Will you come back with us to face judgment willingly, or will I break your limbs and imprison you to face judgment?"
Seeing their threats, Ning Beichen revealed a cold smile.
Even before he broke through to the Grandmaster realm, he hadn't feared them, let alone now.
While Ning Beichen didn't possess an arrogant, condescending demeanor, these four super experts from Shen Zong Ting truly appeared as insignificant ants to him at this moment.
"Noisy!"
Ning Beichen, too lazy to waste words on these four ants, simply slapped them.
Before the eyes of the four super powerhouses from Shen Zong Ting, darkness fell, their ears filled with roaring sounds, and a strong sense of unease gripped them. Their sixth sense was screaming at them to flee immediately, or they would die.
Yet, despite the premonition from their sixth sense, their bodies were already locked in place by Ning Beichen. They couldn't escape, not even able to move a single finger.
These four seemed to see a massive palm descending from the sky towards them. They wanted to flee, but their legs and feet were completely immobilized.
This descending palm exuded an aura of death.
"No!"
The four could only utter a single cry of terror before the palm fell.
With a boom!
The bodies of these four super powerhouses from Shen Zong Ting cracked like porcelain vases, blood gushing out. In less than a minute, these four super powerhouses of Shen Zong Ting were reduced to a bloody pulp.
"Overestimating themselves!"
Ning Beichen snorted coldly. While he disdained these four from Shen Zong Ting, he was extremely satisfied with his own strength.
If he had been the pinnacle of human martial power before, he was now a martial god.
However, at this moment, Ning Beichen suddenly felt a palpitation. This feeling wasn't from an enemy but from the sky above, as if it could crush him.
It made Ning Beichen shiver involuntarily, and he quickly reined in his aura, feigning humility.
Without a doubt, it was the Law.
However, Ning Beichen waited for a while but received no punishment or annihilation. The feeling of palpitation also quietly receded, leaving Ning Beichen somewhat perplexed.
Could the Law be related to him?
Or could the Law tolerate him?
Ning Beichen pondered, unable to figure it out.
He just didn't know why the Law had only warned him and taken no further action.
However, it served as a reminder. With the existence of the Law in this world, it was best for him to avoid taking action if possible.
Although he didn't know why the Law hadn't annihilated him on the spot, Ning Beichen still planned to keep a low profile. This time might have just been a warning, but the next might not be.
Ning Beichen dealt with the corpses of these four super powerhouses from Shen Zong Ting, searched them for any items, and then hastily dug a pit and buried them.
These weapons from Shen Zong Ting were no longer useful to him, but they could be given to his own people to use. After all, these weapons from Shen Zong Ting were quite formidable.
Besides, the world was vast, and the people of Shen Zong Ting couldn't possibly monitor everyone all the time.
If they became too rampant, Ning Beichen wouldn't mind going over and wiping out Shen Zong Ting entirely.
He, Ning Beichen, only feared the Law, but that didn't mean he would truly act like a subservient lackey.
Soon, Ning Beichen left with Linglong and safely returned to Haizhou New City.
Whether it was Shen Zong Ting or the Holy See, as long as Ning Beichen remained in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom, these forces wouldn't dare to deal with him with impunity. Therefore, Ning Beichen didn't take them seriously.
Currently, Ning Beichen was just too busy to bother with them. Once he had the time, he would go directly and destroy them all. Did they really think Ning Beichen had no temper?
What Ning Beichen didn't know was that Shen Zong Ting was in a state of utter chaos. The four individuals they had sent to deal with Ning Beichen were actually four elders of Shen Zong Ting.
As a result, these four elders never returned. It wasn't until they sent people to Linglong's villa that they found their buried bodies. This threw the entire Shen Zong Ting into disarray, with high-ranking officials arguing incessantly.
Since confronting Ning Beichen, Shen Zong Ting had lost an unknown number of people. Now, with the loss of four elders, it was impossible for them to let this matter rest.
"Have you found any clues about that person?"
The head of Shen Zong Ting sat on his chair, his face extremely grim.
At this point, it was no longer a matter of whether to kill Ning Beichen, but that Ning Beichen absolutely had to die. If Ning Beichen didn't die, even he, the head of Shen Zong Ting, wouldn't be able to hold his position.
"We have. He is in a place called Haizhou New City in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom."
Someone below replied.
"Go and invite the Divine Punishment to bring back his head."
The head of Shen Zong Ting said sternly.
"Yes,宗庭长 (Zong Ting Chang)."
Someone below immediately went to notify the Divine Punishment.
Divine Punishment was not a single person but a group of people from Shen Zong Ting, the most mysterious, most ancient, and responsible for maintaining Shen Zong Ting.
Ordinary matters couldn't command them, not even the head of Shen Zong Ting could.
This was because Divine Punishment was loyal to no one, including the head of Shen Zong Ting. They were only loyal to Shen Zong Ting. Even the head of Shen Zong Ting didn't know how long Divine Punishment had existed.
Through countless ages.
Usually, only when Shen Zong Ting faced a life-or-death crisis, or even a situation where it was on the verge of extinction, would Divine Punishment intervene.
And now, with the death of four elders, Shen Zong Ting's reputation had been severely tarnished, forcing the head of Shen Zong Ting to request their intervention.
