Chapter 349 - Let's Chat about It Who Captured Who?
Upon hearing the news, the Fifth Elder was taken aback!
He had assumed, based on the Seventh Elder's account, that Soong Wanzhong's bodyguard was roughly on par with the Seventh Elder himself.
But witnessing the situation firsthand, he realized he had been sorely mistaken.
He couldn't fathom the depth of this individual's strength!
What he failed to realize was that the figure below wasn't Uncle Hai at all—it was Jiang Hao in disguise!
At that point, the Eighth Elder lost all pretense of arrogance. He watched Jiang Hao warily and quietly asked the Fifth Elder for guidance.
“Fifth Elder, what's our move now?”
Jiang Hao heard every word they exchanged.
Yet, he had no intention of dragging this out with them. Without delay, he unleashed his second-level Thousand Mile Sound Transmission skill.
Without moving his lips, a voice abruptly echoed in the minds of the Nether King's Hall's three elders.
“Are you waiting for a personal invitation to come down?”
The trio was instantly petrified, certain that the voice had manifested directly in their thoughts!
Simultaneously, they felt a formidable presence ensnare them!
In that instant, they knew that even if they harbored thoughts of fleeing, they lacked the power to do so!
The Fifth Elder's face contorted with displeasure; he had come to the grim realization that he was no match for this adversary!
It wasn't just him—among the top five elders, all but the Great Elder were outclassed by this formidable stranger!
Perhaps only the enigmatic Great Elder could hope to contend with him.
After much deliberation, the Fifth Elder resigned himself to following Jiang Hao's command.
“We'll descend!”
Leading by example, he leaped down first, followed by a moment's hesitation from the Seventh and Eighth Elders.
But ultimately, they too made the leap!
The trio landed from the lofty rooftop without a whisper of sound, leaving Jiang Hao taken aback by their stealth.
The Nether King's Hall was proving to be even more enigmatic than he had anticipated!
Jiang Hao cast a brief glance at the three before turning and making his way to the pavilion.
“Come, take a seat,” he beckoned to the trio.
The three elders of the Nether King's Hall were left in the dark, wondering about Jiang Hao's mysterious intentions.
Circumstances compelled them to bow their heads in submission.
Upon arriving at the pavilion with Jiang Hao, they were taken aback to find a full banquet laid out on the table.
Their faces twisted into scowls at the sight.
It was a blatant display of disrespect!
Yet, they were powerless to respond.
Jiang Hao had already seated himself by the time they arrived.
He gestured invitingly and said, “Please, have a seat.”
The trio reluctantly took their seats. Jiang Hao then used the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique to notify Soong Wanzhong, who was still pacing in the room.
Just then, an abrupt voice echoed in his mind.
“Uncle, I've captured the three of them. You can come out now!”
Soong Wanzhong's heart leaped with joy.
“They're caught!”
He quickly opened the door, stepped out, and made his way to the pavilion.
However, upon seeing the three individuals seated beside Jiang Ran, he froze.
“Is this what you call ‘captured'?”
“It looks more like you're the one who's been captured.”
The scene prompted a wave of doubt in Soong Wanzhong's mind.
But now, with Jiang Hao and the three elders of the Nether King's Hall noticing his arrival, he had no choice but to approach with feigned confidence.
As Soong Wanzhong approached, Jiang Hao rose to his feet, adopting Uncle Hai's voice.
“My lord, please take a seat!”
His impersonation was impeccable, capturing Uncle Hai's essence in every aspect, from his demeanor and gestures to his voice.
