Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Revenge (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Wei Chi Juan and Huang Xuanji were in great urgency, but looking at the cold-faced Zhong Wu ahead, they didn’t dare to make a move.

The next moment, within the abode, mana surged and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth formed into a giant hand, tossing Luo Jiu Zhen out.

Slap! Slap!

The clear sound of slaps rang out.

Luo Jiu Zhen landed awkwardly, her dress and hairpins in disarray, and most crucially, there were two bright red handprints on her once beautiful face.

"You dare to hit me? You actually dare to hit me?"

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes vacant, and then her face twisted as she screamed shrilly.

"This..."

Wei Chi Juan was almost scared silly, finding it hard to believe that this was the same graceful and poised elder sister from before.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Zhong Shenxiu strode out, his tone cold, "What a grave matter it is to cultivate in seclusion? You deliberately came to disturb me, causing my artifact refining to fail at the final stage—who does Elder Brother Zhong Wu determine should be held accountable for this crime?"

Zhong Wu’s gentle eyes slowly fixated on Zhong Shenxiu, his true thoughts inscrutable, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, "To engage in alchemy and artifact crafting, failure is always a possibility. For Junior Brother to place the blame on Junior Sister Luo seems a bit unfair..."

"Since Elder Brother Zhong Wu has spoken, I will let this shrew off this time..."

Zhong Shenxiu shrugged his shoulders, his face sporting a magnanimous expression.

Finally, there was a flicker of emotion in Zhong Wu’s eyes, like a dark flame, "Su, you’ve just started artifact refining and already aim to create a magical treasure, moreover, a first-class Divine Power exquisite treasure, that’s far too presumptuous... I wonder how many Divine Power Talismans you have left? I am willing to pay a high price for them."

"None left."

Zhong Shenxiu spread his hands, "I’ve already failed repeatedly, my Divine Power Talismans are nearly exhausted, and the last attempt was close to success but was interrupted by this shrew."

"Who are you calling a shrew?"

Luo Jiu Zhen was furiously enraged, almost leaping up to fight desperately.

Zhong Wu simply flicked his sleeve lightly, which suddenly inflated as if swallowing heaven and earth, and engulfed her within it.

First-class—Sleeve Universe Great Divine Power!

His usage was effortless, as natural as a spring breeze turning into rain, devoid of any trace of mundanity.

This act was a show of force!

Unfortunately, for Zhong Shenxiu, it was like casting flirtatious glances at a blind man.

"Junior Sister Luo was just impatient and spoke without thinking,"

Zhong Wu said indifferently: "Since Su has exhausted all his Divine Power Talismans, I will not disturb you further. We’ll meet again another time!"

He remained incredibly polite, his confidence seemingly unwavering, as he turned and left.

...

"This is bad."

Wei Chi Juan’s face turned pale, "Elder Brother Zhong Wu assists the two Grandmasters in formulating tasks for the teams. Offending him, we will inevitably be sent to dangerous places for patrol every day."

Huang Xuanji was also sweating profusely, "He... he is a True Inheritor of the law enforcement lineage. If in the future we deviate slightly from the sect’s rules and end up in his hands, there will be no good end for us."

"Oh!"

Zhong Shenxiu kicked the wind thunder beast that ambled over and laughed, "How do you see it, you mongrel?"

"I am but a lowly beast; I will not speak."

The wind thunder beast transformed into the form of a lion-dog and buried its head deep into the ground.

It knew well the ferocity of this master; even with the power to pluck out hearts, superior to that of ordinary True Inheritors, one would still be killed without hesitation at his word.

Even if this lord could only mix within the Divine Power Realm for a lifetime, as long as Zhong Wu had not broken through to the Primordial Pill, capturing him would have been extremely difficult, and it was even possible to get both hands stabbed in return.

"Right, our True Disciples can be taught the ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’, right? The treatment is the same as that of a Primordial Pill Master..."

Zhong Shenxiu asked with a smile, "This True Inheritor Zhong Wu must be the same, right?"

"Of course."

Wei Chi Juan answered with a pale face, "Our sect’s marvelous techniques are only imparted to True Disciples and Primordial Pill Elders, and the fact that we can cultivate the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’ is already quite remarkable."

’The "Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture" of a Primordial Pill Master contains the Primordial Spirit Chapter. In Zhang Taiyi’s memory, he received the complete text, capable of cultivating all the way to the Dharma Body. Truly a pity, worthy of the Zhang Family’s direct lineage. Even if this Zhong Wu falls a bit short, without the Dharma Body Chapter, the likelihood of having the Primordial Spirit Chapter is still very high... After all, he’s a True Disciple and treated the same as a Primordial Pill. And in comprehending cultivation techniques, if there are further parts, then cultivation would be much smoother.’

Zhong Shenxiu narrowed his eyes and gripped tightly the object hidden in his sleeve.

The so-called sabotage by Luo Jiu Zhen causing his Artifact Refining to fail was naturally a lie.

As an Outer Elixir Master, to have his endeavors ruined by a mere Superpower Disciple would be a joke.

The moment Zhong Wu had arrived, Zhong Shenxiu had discovered him and successfully crafted a one-time use magical treasure by combining the Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart, the Soul Suppressing Divine Power, and the Heart Demon Possession Divine Ability.

Now, even the target had been selected.

’There is only one chance; the target must be chosen carefully.’

’Actually, the safest would be a Primordial Pill Master... but a mere magical treasure, even if transformed by a First-class Divine Power, would find it very difficult to deal with a Primordial Pill Master; one has to make do with the next best.’

...

In the following days, Wei Chi Juan and Huang Xuanji were in constant trepidation, but their daily tasks to patrol Qingfeng Mountain Ridge remained unchanged.

’Zhong Wu, after all, is a True Disciple who cares about appearances... Such blatant revenge would be too unsightly.’

Zhong Shenxiu stood on the deck of the Wind-Riding Shuttle, sneering to himself, ’But waiting for him to brew his conspiracy is a bit of a waste of effort, a pity, as this person never leaves the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land and doesn’t go out on patrol.’

And playing tricks under the watchful eyes of a Primordial Spirit Ancestor made Zhong Shenxiu somewhat nervous.

Even though he possessed the myriad doors of escape and the art of nine deaths and rebirth, he still acted prudently and did not risk lightly.

"Hmm, there’s a demonic aura!"

Suddenly, Zhong Shenxiu frowned and shouted angrily, "Audacious demon, you dare to run? Take this sword!"

With a casual slash, he merged into his sword and left his teammates and the Wind-Riding Shuttle behind in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.

...

Over a swampy area.

Luo Jiu Zhen and several Inner Sect Disciples formed a small team, patrolling the area.

This place, being close to the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land, could quickly receive support from a Primordial Pill Master or even a Primordial Spirit Ancestor, thus it was considered an easy job.

But at the moment, her face was sullen, grinding her teeth with thoughts of revenge.

’A mere Dao General, a Dao General, he dared, he dared...’

Thinking back to the scene of that day, Luo Jiu Zhen almost exploded with rage.

However, the next moment,

A vast shadow enveloped the sky, crashing down.

A terrifying presence overflowed, sealing heaven and earth, the crushing levels of influence appeared, rendering these Inner Sect Disciples’ Divine Skills incredibly weak, their faces filled with despair, "Primordial Pill Old Monster!"

Crack!

In the sky, a gigantic palm pressed down, as if swatting flies, squashing the small team into a bloody pulp.

"A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years, a villain’s revenge is relentless from morning till night; I am neither gentleman nor villain, it’s just been a few days..."

Zhong Shenxiu muttered to himself. He now appeared as a pale-faced Primordial Pill Master from the Demon Sect, his body faintly exuding demonic energy. Glancing at the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land, he chuckled lightly and transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

Moments later, Ming Xue and Jiu Ru, two Great Masters with gloomy expressions, arrived belatedly, their faces extremely ugly.
