Chapter 793 – My Once Love
The town was already bleeding profusely, An Zheng alone had almost captured all of the so called Infinite Palace’s experts. However, he was unable to enter the tavern, the powerful Spirit Force that formed the barrier left An Zheng helpless. When An Zheng was still in Ming Fa Si, he had once said that cultivators with mental energies could make people feel helpless and hopeless.
There was no doubt that whether it was Zhou Buyu’s control over mental energy or his own mental energy, both had reached an extremely terrifying realm.
His entire body was covered in blood, even though he had already reached the level of Lower Celestial Stage, he was still injured when he was surrounded by so many experts. It was just that this time, he had the protection of the Reverse Scale Armor, the change in his left eye’s mysterious vision, and a Cultivation Power that was even more tyrannical and fierce than his previous life.
The cultivation level of the cultivators surrounding and attacking him was much higher than when they were attacked at Mount Cang Man. They could not even be mentioned in the same breath. An Zheng was very clear in his heart that winning sucrduous battle did not mean that he had surpassed his former self.
At this time, the news quickly reached Jinling.
When the old woman from the Left, who had been in closed door cultivation for many years, heard that Chen Liuxi had killed dozens of experts from the Lower Completion Stage alone, her face turned green. She slapped the table and glared at the terrified juniors sitting below.
“What kind of person did you offend?!”
Her hands were shaking from anger. “Our Left is already at the brink of death, yet you idiots went to stir up trouble last year. It’s fine if you have an unknown successor to Fang Zheng, but this is after all the decision of the Fang Zheng family from the beginning, I can’t blame you guys. But now? Was there a need to provoke this Hollow Jade Temple’s Chen Liuxi? Take a look at yourselves one by one, can you afford to offend them all?! ”
Everyone below stood up, who dared to sit?
“You idiots!”
The old woman’s expression became ugly to the extreme. “One person... One person killed so many experts of the Lower Completion Stage and above, and a few of them were even cultivators of the Higher Completion Stage, I wonder who among you can do that! ”
The people below were completely silent, not daring to even breathe.
One of them came forward and asked tentatively, “But Old Ancestor, now that the blame has been laid, why not … Why don’t we send someone out now to pretend to be the Infinite Palace? ”
“Idiot!”
The old lady scolded angrily, “If you had suggested this to me in the first place, I might have agreed. But now? He has already killed all the experts in Infinite Palace, why don’t you go again? Died? Or is it exposing the fact that our Left and his people are connected?! ”
That person was shocked and embarrassedly retreated.
“Have you guys ever thought that he’s just a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple? Why did the sect, which has been in existence for ten thousand years, only send him as a disciple? It was because he was confident! If we truly provoke Chen Liuxi, one of those old monsters from the Hollow Jade Temple that have yet to appear would come out of nowhere and our Left would be annihilated! ”
She said with hatred: “In the past, how glorious was my Left? Now look at all of you, just what level of idiots have you reached? Why did the Sacred Emperor have to rope Chen Liuxi in so much? Could it be that all of you still couldn’t understand, but the Sacred Emperor must have known about the Hollow Jade Temple’s background to try to rope him in this way without sparing any effort? You guys are about to become my stepping stones! ”
Someone asked, “Old Ancestor, what should we do now?”
“Nothing.”
The old woman waved her hand, “Order all disciples of the Left to return. No one is allowed to leave the courtyard of the Left without my permission for a month. I will personally go to the palace and explain to the Sacred Emperor. I hope that the Sacred Emperor hasn’t decided to abandon us yet. If there are no problems with the Sacred Emperor’s side, I’ll send someone to contact Chen Liuxi.
At the same time, at the Zhou Mansion.
The face of the Zhou Family’s Patriarch, Zhou Xiangyang, changed after hearing the report. “What did you say? The person who provoked the Hollow Jade Temple this time was likely our family’s branch in the northwest?”
His subordinate nodded. “The news should be reliable. Someone has seen Zhou Zhirou. The family sent someone to the northwest three years ago to understand the circumstances of the branch.”
“What should we do?”
Zhou Xiangyang muttered to himself, then stood up and instructed: “Prepare a gift for me, prepare that Immortal grass for me as well. When Chen Liuxi returns to the city, immediately send someone to inform me, I will personally pay him a visit.”
“What?!”
“Father, you can’t. Those immortal grasses are priceless.”
“Uncle, the immortal grass is already fully matured. We, the Zhou family, used all our might to snatch it from the Immortal palace ruins, and for that, we even lost a few men, how can we just give it to Chen Liuxi?”
“What do you know?”
Zhou Xiangyang said: “If a single Immortal grass can be exchanged for sucowerful ally, then it’s worth it. Luckily... Fortunately, our Zhou Family managed to get along well with Chen Liuxi, and there were no conflicts on the surface. ”
He glanced at the people below and said, “Remember, do not provoke anyone from Hollow Jade Temple without my permission.”
Imperial Palace, quiet garden.
Wen En’s voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke, obviously because he was excited, “Your Majesty, this time it was really out of everyone’s expectations. Although the one who kidnapped Chen Liuxi’s little junior sister was the Infinite Palace, he had guessed correctly, but he hadn’t thought that Chen Liuxi would be the one to overturn the Infinite Palace. More than thirty cultivators above the Lower Completion Stage can’t stop him. ”
Chen Wunuo laughed: “Do you think it’s similar?”
Wen En nodded his head with all his might: “This power, is extremely similar to when Fang Zheng attacked back then.”
“The heavens have given me a chance.”
Chen Wunuo said: “We didn’t treat Fang Zheng well back then, and because we, the celestial bodies, knew our regret, we sent another Chen Liuxi over to us. This time, I will not make any mistakes. ”
“What rewards does His Majesty intend to give Chen Liuxi?”
“He is not someone who is easy to reward. He does not lack money nor treasures.”
Wen En said: Why don’t you give us the title of an official?
Chen Wunuo shook his head: “That is an unruly person, giving him the title of an official would instead cause him to be constrained. I don’t want to ruin his reckless personality. I can’t do it as a official … “However, this person must be of use to me. I intend to bestow him wititle.”
“Huh?”
“I wonder how higank he would have to be to embarrass himself and not work for me?”
“The title of noble in the Great Xi, young noble. Why don’t we first bestow it on him as a viscount? Otherwise, if it is too high, it will attract the opposition of the court officials. ”
“No.”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand, “We want to bestow marquis upon him!”
Outside the city gate of the Jinling, seeing that Gu Qianye was ready to move, Zhou Zhirou smiled apologetically, “I’m really sorry for making you suffer. You can go back now. I need to go back too. ”
“Your aunt, why did she become the sect master of the Infinite Palace?”
Gu Qianye couldn’t help but ask, “Foerson like her, no matter what, I don’t believe that she would be the same kind of person as the scum of Infinite Palace. Even though I’ve only seen her once, I don’t believe her when she says she’s that kind of person. She looked cold, but I knew she hadn’t wanted to kill me in the first place. ”
“She …”
Zhou Zhirou said witained tone, “She has a disappointing brother, and a disappointing father …” If I hadn’t found my aunt and invited her to discuss what to do with her, aunt and I would not have realized that my grandfather, who said that he would travel in all directions many years ago, had actually become the sect master of the Infinite Palace. Aunt was very regretful, regretting that she did not mention the Infinite Palace at home. It was also because of this that Grandfather had thought of this. He tricked us, saying that we would travel everywhere in the Great Xi Empire, but he actually went to find the people from the Infinite Palace. ”
“According to what my aunt said, he actually found the sect head. Then, he plotted to kill him. At that time, the sect head was already injured and had yet to recover from it … So grandpa became the sect master. ”
“What about your aunt?”
“When aunt found grandpa, grandpa was discovered and was planning to lock us up. But aunt detected it earlier and used her spiritual force to control grandpa.” Because my grandfather obtained the power of the previous generation’s sect head, some of them were neither male nor female. To think that her pretending to be my grandfather was not seen through by others … The previous generation Infinite Palace’s Sect Master had obtained a girl’s natural Dao Body and absorbed too much of her Yin energy, turning her into a male and female neither male nor female. Grandfather also absorbed the power of that Sect Master, so he became like that too. ”
Gu Qianye let out an “oh”, and could not help but pull on Zhou Zhirou’s hand. “It’s been hard on your aunt, it’s been hard on you too.”
“My aunt is the one who is truly bitter. I actually know that she had never wanted to kill him. The incident with the Chivalrous Hall was entirely an accident and wasn’t something that she instigated at all. It was those scum of the Infinite Palace that colluded with those from the Left. Although she said that, her heart was in great pain. The reason she brought all of the people from the Infinite Palace with her was also because of the regret of not being able to destroy the Heavenly Justice Sect back then. ”
Gu Qianye’s face changed, “She’ll die!”
In the town, a crack suddenly opened up in the protective layer formed by the spirit energy of the inn. An Zheng acutely felt it, and quickly went inside. The moment he entered, the protective layer suddenly closed.
“Why?”
Standing in the courtyard, An Zheng raised his head to look at Zhou Buyu who was leaning on the fence on the second floor: “Why did you do this?”
“There is a man in the Northwest who views you as his idol and targets you. For this goal, he worked hard to reach the position of City Lord but was killed by you …” Do you remember this person? ”
Zhou Buyu looked down at An Zheng condescendingly: “My surname is not Nian, my surname is Zhou.”
An Zheng’s eyes were filled with pain. “Back then when you were in Ming Fa Si, I was most worried that you would be corroded by the evil thoughts and deeds of many evil people. I never thought that you would still have changed.”
Zhou Buyu raised his finger and pointed at An Zheng: “That was also forced by you!”
An Zheng frowned: “No one is forcing you.”
“You killed my brother, do I have to pretend I didn’t know?!”
Zhou Buyu yelled in a hoarse voice, “This is all your doing, I will make you pay the price!”
An Zheng said: “Nian... “You …”
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Buyu suddenly jumped down from the second floor. She pounced down from above and gathered all the Cultivation Power in her hands. And because of this, even the protective layer formed from spiritual force disappeared. This strike of hers, was the limit of her Cultivation Power. This attack had come for the sake of risking his life.
An Zheng’s face changed, and he threw a punch towards Zhou Buyu’s palms. Just as An Zheng’s Cultivation Power and his own Cultivation Power were about to come into contact, Zhou Buyu suddenly dispersed his energy.
She smiled strangely.
Her lips moved slightly.
When An Zheng wanted to retract his power, it was already too late. The two of them were already very close, and with Zhou Buyu’s sudden dispersing of power, how could An Zheng make it in time?
She smiled, but there was no hate in her eyes.
Her lips moved. She was talking about … Goodbye, my old love.
