Chapter 379: Chapter 329: Qin Zheng, Have You Also Died? (4202)

As the premier tavern in Zhenning City, Wanghai Tower’s standards were far beyond those of ordinary taverns, where just anyone could enter.

In ordinary times, this incredibly luxurious tavern was exclusive to the three major powers of Zhenning City, and others were not allowed entry.

But today was different.

Today was the birthday celebration of the Demon Suppression Alliance Master!

Therefore, a feast was held at Wanghai Tower, welcoming guests from all quarters!

No matter what their background, all were welcome to attend!

So, in Zhenning City, any beings who considered themselves of some significance converged towards this grand feast.

After all, as one of the three major forces of Zhenning City, forging good relations meant convenience in future endeavors within the city.

Moreover, as Wanghai Tower was the most luxurious tavern in Zhenning City, countless people also wanted to enter and witness its grandeur.

Under such circumstances, Wanghai Tower, usually quiet and peaceful, had become incredibly noisy today.

At this moment, in the grand hall on the first floor of Wanghai Tower, amidst the noisy crowd, suddenly a loud, impatient roar erupted:

"Are the ears on this damned creature useless?! Didn’t you hear me when I said I wanted a serving of Wanghai Tower’s most famous Immortal Brew?!"

At such a commotion, all the beings within Wanghai Tower turned their attention to the source of the noise.

There stood a man in a wide robe, fat and with large ears, whose rat-like face was now bulging with veins in anger.

Next to him stood a servant, head bowed, wearing coarse linen, constantly uttering apologies.

"My apologies, sir! Our Wanghai Tower does not carry Immortal Brew!"

The servant spoke, his entire body trembling, clearly very frightened.

His aura was not weak, with a Three Realms of Bodily Form aura, enough to be revered and honored in a small town.

But here in Zhenning City, within Wanghai Tower, he was just a lowly servant.

Those who could walk through the doors of Wanghai Tower were mostly beings above the Realm of Immortals!

Although most of them were Human Immortals, with only a few Earth Immortals, compared to the Bodily Form, these were all high and mighty individuals.

The fat man, who was continuously shouting, was also an Earth Immortal, a leader of a minor force under one of the three great powers of Zhenning City.

An Earth Immortal and a Bodily Form – the gap between them was as vast as the distance between the clouds and the mud.

"Haha, Master Zhu, didn’t you know? The Immortal Brew of Wanghai Tower was renamed ’Immortal Drunk’ a hundred years ago!"

At that time, amidst the crowd enjoying the scene, a voice spoke up.

The fat man, now a bit embarrassed, turned to his servant in front of him and scolded, "Damned creature, why didn’t you inform me?!"

With a swat of his hand, even before touching the servant, a powerful gust of wind struck, sending the servant flying out of the hall.

He was thrown straight outside the doors of Wanghai Tower.

"Considering that today is Master Wu’s birthday, I’ll spare your life! If there’s a next time, I won’t show any mercy!"

The fat man coldly shouted.

At that moment, a steward of Wanghai Tower, noticing the commotion, quickly approached.

He didn’t spare another glance at the servant on the ground outside the door, but instead smiled warmly at the fat man and said:

"Master Zhu, please don’t be upset. This servant is new and isn’t very sharp. I will have another servant bring you the Immortal Brew immediately."

After all, the fat man was a powerful Earth Immortal, not someone the three great powers could afford to disregard; maintaining good relations was necessary.

And the servant was only a Bodily Form, common as dirt in Zhenning City; if he died, they could simply find another.

Moreover, this servant was nothing but a lowly creature recently brought in from a lower world.

With the appearance of the steward and his placating words, the commotion quickly subsided.

From start to finish, no one paid any mind to the servant on the ground, barely clinging to life.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A few moments later, the servant coughed several times, barely catching his breath, struggling to stand up from the ground.

His entire body was battered, bones shattered, sinews severed!

Though the fat man had merely swiped at him, without actually touching him, he was still an Earth Immortal.

That simple gesture had nearly cost him his life!

Lou Chengdao’s face was covered in red and black blood, paler than ever, and even though he had managed to stand, he still trembled.

If he did not receive treatment soon, he likely wouldn’t survive the night, similar to some of his fellow servants who had already died.

He had not died at the hands of the Demon race, but by the hands of the Human race of the Upper Realm.

Feeling the condition of his body, Lou Chengdao thought sadly.

So this was the situation in the Upper Realm.

He did not re-enter Wanghai Tower, but instead turned and went against the crowd, looking for a place to bury himself after death.

Yet at that moment, a roaring commotion suddenly erupted within the crowd, followed by turbulence.

"Immortal Lord Xiaoyao!"

"Immortal Lord Xiaoyao has arrived!!"

"At Master Wu’s birthday celebration, even Immortal Lord Xiaoyao has come!"

"...."

The noise of the crowd around Lou Chengdao buzzed meaninglessly in his ears.

His spirit wavered; his consciousness had already started to blur.

At that moment, however, a figure he had never anticipated appeared before his eyes.

That familiar Gold-Patterned Profound Robe and the calm demeanor which seemed to grasp all changes, looked exceedingly similar to the one in his memories!

"Qin Zheng..."

Lou Chengdao muttered to himself, then chuckled wryly, continuing, "Even you died here, huh?"

He thought the familiar figure he saw was but a ghost, a vision presented by his fading consciousness.

After all, since coming to this place, he had never heard of Qin Zheng’s whereabouts.

If that man were alive, given his abilities, he should have made a significant name for himself in the Upper Realm.

With this thought, he staggered towards that figure.

Unnoticed by him was the fact that the road, previously narrow and crowded, had been cleared to create a wide path after the appearance of that figure.

Following the initial commotion, silence as deep as when a pin drops had fallen.

Yet before he could reach the figure, an explosive burst of pain from his injuries overcame him, leaving him overwhelmed by a sense of weakness and feebleness.

Lou Chengdao collapsed immediately.

But in that instant, a broad and strong arm caught him.

Barely opening his eyes, what met his sight was still that familiar figure.

"Brother Qin... you... came to get me...?"

Lou Chengdao murmured intermittently.

At the same time, a stable and reliable voice sounded in his ears.

"Rest easy, I’ve got everything."

At these words, Lou Chengdao smiled contentedly and his consciousness plunged completely into darkness.

Qin Zheng watched the familiar face from the Yuanyang Realm with an unprecedented sense of panic rising in his heart.

However, he still forcibly suppressed it to keep himself calm.

He took out an Immortal Pill and placed it in Lou Chengdao’s mouth to sustain his fading lifeforce.

Meanwhile, three figures arrived together from Wanghai Tower.

They looked towards Immortal Lord Xiaoyao standing behind Qin Zheng and joyfully said, "Immortal Lord Xiaoyao graces us with his presence! Our Zhenning City truly shines brighter for it!"

The three of them were in charge of Zhenning City.

The Grand Elder of Haoyue Immortal Sect, the Master of Lingyan Pavilion, and the Demon Suppression Alliance Master.

Before they could approach, however, a voice rang in their ears.

"Who did this?"

Though the voice was calm, it brought a chill that made one’s heart tremble.

The three paused, their gazes shifting towards the young figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, their eyebrows slightly furrowed.

An Earth Immortal...

But when they saw the indifferent expression of Immortal Lord Xiaoyao, they naturally understood that behind the young figure stood a Top Heavenly Immortal as his support.

They immediately turned and summoned the steward to clarify the situation before calling over the fat man.

Under the scrutiny of the crowd, although somewhat perplexed, the fat man still approached.

Upon seeing Lou Chengdao in Qin Zheng’s arms, he came to a sudden realization.

The guy had some significant backing.

But this backing was merely an Earth Immortal, on the same level as his own realm.

He utterly failed to notice Immortal Lord Xiaoyao’s indifferent demeanor.

Respectfully, he first bowed to Immortal Lord Xiaoyao nearby, then to the three personages, and only afterward did he turn to Qin Zheng with a frosty expression and said, "We are both Earth Immortals, don’t expect me to say anything more."

"He’s merely a Dharma Body; are you expecting me to apologize?!"

"I think..."

Before he could finish, he felt a sudden gust of wind, and a giant hand instantly grasped his head.

Then—

Bang!

There was a splatter of blood, red and white scattering everywhere!

A corpulent headless body stumbled to the ground.

"You too are merely an Earth Immortal."

Only then did a calm voice ring in everyone’s ears again.
