"Hmph. If I weren't trying to avoid dragging the entire Huangfu Family into this, I wouldn't be in such a wretched state!"
Huangfu Zhong was on a special mission. Besides this Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact, his mysterious superior had given him other means to use.
However, to do so without exposing his mission, he would have no choice but to let the Huangfu Family take the blame.
At that point, the Huangfu Family would be branded as traitors to the Hall of Envoys and hunted across the Immortal Realm.
Huangfu Zhong might not care about the lives of some of his clansmen, but he cared deeply for the family as a whole.
He was not about to let the Huangfu Family be destroyed on his watch.
So, even though he wanted to kill the Pig Emperor with every fiber of his being, he could only grit his teeth and endure, not daring to act.
'I'll just treat this as a trial to temper my mind.' Huangfu Zhong took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down.
