Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Wuhan's Care For The Empire!
Hearing the cough, the two of them looked away. Xin Yan looked in the opposite direction while Noah looked straight at Wuhan, who was giving him the nastiest look he had ever seen in his life. Noah was amazed, realizing someone could look so handsome and disgusting at the same time.
"We need to talk. You can continue your home drama back at the manor." Hearing Wuhan's words, Noah smiled behind the mask. It was clear that Wuhan was not going after their lives or even throwing them out of his sect.
"Sure. We can talk!" Hearing Xin Yan's chilling voice, Wuhan shivered. Oh, how much he regretted forgetting the nature of the woman living with Noah. He forced a smile to appear on his face, but it only made him look even more ugly than before.
But he managed to calm himself as the topic he wanted to talk about was very important to him. Taking a deep breath, he looked deep into Noah's eyes as his whole demeanor changed. His eyelids dropped, his posture straightened, and his aura became authoritative. In front of Noah was not Wuhan, his friend, but Feng Wuhan, the emperor of the Feng kingdom!
Seeing the changes in Wuhan, Noah also became serious, waiting for him to ask the questions.
"Do you plan to harm my empire?" Even though Wuhan was not actively releasing his aura, Noah could feel a subtle sense of oppression on his body. If a normal foundation stage cultivator had been standing in front of Wuhan, they might have pissed their pants or at least trembled where they stood, but to Noah, it was nothing but a small blow of air from someone's mouth.
Xin Yan on the side prepared to react no matter the response Noah gave her.
"Your empire is safe from me." Noah smiled, his calm reply did not break the face-off between them. Xin Yan tensed her hands, her nails growing into claws. In the most tense moment, Wuhan did something she never expected.
"Oh! Then it's fine, I guess." Wuhan's body suddenly relaxed as he flashed Noah a thumbs-up. Xin Yan became stumped seeing this scene, but she still sighed in relief. The air did not even leave her lungs properly before Wuhan became serious once again. "Because if you endanger the people of my empire in any way, I will come after you and deal with you.
Even if it's the last thing I do, I will kill you!"
A huge amount of killing intent appeared in the area as Wuhan placed his hands on Noah, who was still looking back calmly in his eyes from behind the mask. Before Xin Yan could even think of moving, Noah raised his hands.
"I don't doubt that after all…." He grabbed Wuhan's hand and all the killing intent in the area vanished in an instant as if it was never there. "You don't have a life besides that~"
Silence enveloped the domain as Noah said those words. Wuhan was too lost in his thoughts that he could not register what Noah said immediately, but after some time, he snapped out of his daze and recalled what he had just said.
"I have a life!" he yelled with a dark look on his face. "Oh, whatever, let's get out of this place."
Wuhan glanced at the place he had placed the hand on Noah and saw a subtle dent before looking back at his hands. 'What a monster, I was using 10 percent of my full power, and all he got was a dislocated shoulder!'
*Ptack!*
The more he thought about it, the scarier it seemed to him. Noah looked at the back of Wuhan, who suddenly turned around to leave, and raised his hand to place his dislocated shoulder back in its place.
"Are you fine?" Xin Yan rushed forward hearing the popping sound coming from Noah's body and started inspecting his body.
"I am fine, Xin Yan." Hearing Xin Yan's concerned tone, Noah patted her head, making her freeze in her place. After a few moments, she snapped out of her daze and turned towards Wuhan. "I should just end him right here; maybe you can get a strong body with a budding soul realm cultivator."
Killing intent started leaking out of her body. Even though she was saying that, she was thinking about the feeling she got when Noah patted her head. The gentle warmth was so addicting and made her crave more of that warmth.
"Let's leave this place first; we need to go to two other places." Noah chuckled before storing the rank-four sword that he had stabbed into the ground. He patted Xin Yan's back and pulled her out of her dark thoughts.

The three of them made their way out of the Domain, and Noah placed the array of formations back on the portal.
"Why are you doing that?" Wuhan looked at Noah's action with a confused face. "There is no need to waste time since we have already killed them, right?"
"There is no need, but I want to buy time for us before the head of this organization knows about this place. The more ordinary this place seems to them, the less they check thoroughly." Noah replied as he placed the last of the array formations back on the ground.
His meticulous and precise actions caused the area to appear exactly like the time when they first appeared in that place. Seeing the results, Wuhan had to admit Noah did a good job.
"Are we going to some other place now?"
"Just two more bases to massacre and then back to the sect for the major event." There was a hint of glee in Noah's voice. He could not wait to get a body of his own; in this body, he could not help but feel restrained and restricted.
Xin Yan waved her hand and brought out a flying artifact for them to travel on.
"Come along, this time you don't have to chase us," Noah smirked behind the mask before walking forward. Wuhan did not even attempt to comment and just followed behind after snorting in response.
"You like that empire of yours? You are really willing to protect it with your life." Seeing him ignoring him, Noah changed the topic.
"I promised someone to be the best empire there was and keep my subjects safe and happy." Wuhan sighed, his voice filled with melancholy, and eyes laced with pain looked at the sky far away.
"She must be a wonderful woman to make you do something like this for all the people. A bit naive too…"
Hearing Noah's comment, Wuhan glared at him with a sharp look in his eyes, but soon he looked away, a hint of coldness in his eyes as he seemed to be reminiscing about the past. "She was a wonderful woman… and a bit naive too. This empire, let alone the world, is filled with messed-up people…"
