Volume One, Chapter 47: They Have Their Eyes on Me
“Ah? Me?” Xu Yuan froze for a second. She had not expected to run into Zhang Zhiqiu here, but the instant she saw her face, she immediately remembered her name.
“You are... Zhang Zhiqiu...”
The two exchanged blows for a minute or two, and the fight unexpectedly remained evenly matched. No—if anything, Zhang Kun held a slight advantage, but winning would still prove rather difficult.
Since this concerned the major matter of his lifelong happiness, Big Bear racked his brains and decided to take A Zi to the most expensive restaurant in the capital. He planned to get her drunk and then coax her into marrying him. Unfortunately, halfway through the meal, his phone rang.
“What happened?” Before Che Wuyou could answer, the commotion here had already drawn the attention of a man who looked like a captain. He was a burly, middle-aged man whose cultivation seemed to be around the Core Formation Realm. Upon approaching, he first gave Che Wuyou a stern appraisal, then turned to ask the guards at the gate.
“It can’t be...” Liu Sanbao, who was clutching his head, happened to witness the scene. His face was filled with disbelief.
At that moment, however, Liu Lanzhi said, “Che Wuyou, over the years, you have done so many wrongs. It is time for you to stop...” Having said this, Liu Lanzhi slowly drew the long sword from behind her and pointed it straight at Che Wuyou.
It turned out that Xie Ge had long since realized that although the two were lovers, Wei Yuan was such a blockhead that his relationship with Lan Xue had probably not progressed that far. He had therefore seized this opportunity to help draw the two closer together.
This time, the Immortal Dao Alliance was absolutely determined. It would not rest until it had excised the demonic sect, that poisonous growth. From this summons for immortals, both the righteous cultivators and the members of the demonic sect could see the Alliance’s resolve, as well as its unquestionable dominance.
Smiling, Zhao Lina slowly passed her head through Zhang Kun’s body. Looking through Zhang Kun’s left hand, she finally saw the several large words written on the paper.
Naturally, Wei Yuan had no idea whether that doctor had been bribed. He was certain, however, that Old Master Lan’s mind was more lucid than anyone else’s. He knew everything that was going on.
Fang Yan held it in his hand and examined it. Sure enough, it was similar to a Heaven-and-Earth Bag. However, since it had not yet been refined and bonded to him, he could not investigate it in greater detail. After finishing his examination, Fang Yan said to the stallholder, “Senior Brother, if there’s no problem, I’ll take it.” He reached out, drew the Dark Yin Sword, and handed it to the stallholder.
As a regional general manager like him, the pearl transactions passing through his hands in a single month certainly exceeded one hundred million. If the price had truly risen by thirty percent as he claimed, then he had undoubtedly earned more than several tens of millions.
On the third floor of the Ba County Tower, Du Yuan gave a slight bow. “Senior!”
Not far from Shen Qishan, a disciple accompanying the Immortal Sword Sect of Mount Shu immediately saluted. General Xue, the highest-ranking military commander at the garrison, also offered a salute. Du Yuan returned it with a slight inclination of his head.
“So the person inside the sedan was not the Judge himself, but the Judge’s son.” Watching the procession of ghost servants pass by, Lan Yudie remarked.
After Photon accomplished this, her Nascent Soul was also moved by the summons. A surge of immortal power rushed from the soles of the Nascent Soul’s feet straight into its mind, achieving the convergence of the Human Flower at the crown.
The Jade Dragon Dao Lord said, “You acted on your own initiative, trying to scheme against others, only to be outmaneuvered yourselves. And now you have ended up in this state. You truly deserve it.” This matter had indeed been decided unilaterally by the Azure Sea Immortal and the others, without informing the Jade Dragon Dao Lord.
The youngest-looking old man raised his palm, filled with true energy, and viciously struck upward toward Wu Xiaoqian’s jade-white palm.
Not only the Shattered Star Bloodline, but also the Primordial Wood Origin Astral Scripture and the Great Beastfire Scripture began circulating. The Primordial Wood was a divine tree that reached the heavens, an unparalleled sacred tree capable of bearing celestial bodies. Now, beneath the dense stellar power, it began to circulate of its own accord, devouring the stellar energy surrounding it.
