Encountering Yan Zhuixing Again

"The scene before was probably unforgettable for everyone. The pressure was so intense that it was chilling and penetrating to the bone. No one had ever seen such power before. He was a true master! He was unstoppable just by his aura before he even made a move."

Now everyone finally understands why Niu Youde dared to defy public opinion and blatantly swindle money from the Ghost Manor. He truly had the ability and wasn't afraid of anyone coming after him.

Mu Lianqiu stared blankly at the heads scattered on the ground, then recognized them—they were all his own people!

Sikong Jue stared silently at the nine heads on the ground, three of which belonged to his disciples. As the second-in-command of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, he had never suffered such humiliation. Knowing that the murderer was right in front of him, he didn't even dare to mention revenge.

"Ah! That head, it's... it's Nie Sheng?"

Someone who happened to see it clearly let out a scream. This immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all gasped in shock, finally understanding why Sikong Jue had been so furious with Niu Youde earlier—his apprentice had been murdered.

Could it be Niu Youde who killed him? Everyone looked at Yue Qianchou with surprise and uncertainty.

"Don't look at me, I didn't kill them." Yue Qianchou glanced around, immediately denying it, then coughed and explained, "After the attack, we continued on our way, only to be ambushed again by another group. This time, the attackers were extraordinary; one of them actually fought me to a draw. Alas! Because I was tied down by that man, I couldn't help Nie Sheng and the others, and I had to watch them be killed. Fortunately, I managed to snatch the heads of Nie Sheng and the others with all my might."

I am ashamed, Ming!

After speaking, he glanced at the skeptical crowd. Whether they believed him or not was none of his concern. The key was to provide an explanation that would allow Sikong Jue face.

A hush fell over the scene. Sikong Jue deep breath and said to Mu Lianqiu, "Collect the head and try to find the mastermind behind it as soon as possible to avenge our fallen disciples." Mu Lianqiu sadly replied, "Yes." He then picked up the head from the ground and turned to leave.

"I was quite abrupt just now, I hope you won't take offense, sir." Sikong Jue apologized with a gloomy face. On the surface, he was like this, but inside he was bleeding.

"I understand, I can understand, after all, Nie Sheng is your disciple. Alright, let's leave this matter behind and talk about serious business." Yue Qianchou waved his hand generously.

"Please come in, sir!" Sikong Jue, raising his hand.

Yue Qianchou nodded and went to the inner hall with him. The group left behind looking at each other in bewilderment before quickly leaving, as they needed to inform the sect of what had happened.

In Lan City, the capital of the Biyuan Kingdom, at the Green Mansion Restaurant, on the second floor, by a window overlooking the bustling street, Yue Qianchou stood with his hands behind his back, watching the throngs of people. Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu stood carefully beside him, not daring to disturb him. The Green Mansion Restaurant, known as the best restaurant in Lan City, required advance reservations for private rooms like this one during peak hours. This particular room was reserved in advance by the manager of the Lan City branch of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, arranged by Guan Zhongkai.

The three's original destination was the Treasure Gathering Basin, the headquarters of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. However, when they passed through the Biyuan Kingdom, Yue Qianchou insisted on visiting it. Guan Zhongkai had witnessed his methods before, and considering what had happened at the Zhujin City branch, even his master, with his cultivation level, had suffered losses. How could he dare to disobey him? So he had no choice but to accompany him.

Actually, Guan Zhongkai was able to regain his freedom so quickly thanks to Yue Qianchou. Sikong Jue planned to accompany Yue Qianchou himself, but after what happened, he had no intention of doing so. Accompanying him would have been pointless; given Yue Qianchou's cultivation level, if he wanted to run away, he couldn't be stopped at all, it was entirely up to whether he would act on his own initiative.

Sikong Jue, no longer wanting to suffer Yue Qianchou's temper, made up an excuse to return to the headquarters ahead of schedule, arranging for Mu Lianqiu to accompany him. However Yue Qianchou specifically named Guan Zhongkai, saying he really liked Guan Zhongkai's character—generous and forthright!—and that he didn't get along with the others.

Forced into a corner, Sikong Jue choice but to restore Guan Zhongkai's freedom, but he remained somewhat wary and had to warn his eldest disciple Guan Zhongkai, to be careful.

Just as Yue Qianchou and Guan Zhongkai were about to leave the Zhujin City branch, Yu Landu to come looking for Guan Zhongkai. Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up immediately; he hadn't expected to reunite these two old rivals. He immediately put on an air of seniority and asked Yu Landu she would like to come along.

Niu Youde's actions at the Zhujin City branch had already spread throughout the Cultivation World. Yu Landu even sought out Guan Zhongkai on orders to inquire about Niu Youde. Unexpectedly, she received an invitation from Niu Youde and immediately consulted her sect. This resulted in her sect taking the matter very seriously, not only instructing her to accompany him but also assigning her some secret missions.

That's why the scene of the three of them at the Green Mansion Restaurant came about, and it was also found online.

"These swarms of flies are really annoying; I can't get rid of them all," Yue Qianchou sneered, looking down at the building below.

Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu exchanged a glance and then approached the window to look out. They saw two people eating at the cold noodle stall across the street, glancing in their direction every now and then. Noticing the people upstairs staring at them, they lowered their heads and continued eating... Early stage of the Moonlit Tribulation, cultivation level 10. I'll go take care of them, so as not to disturb the senior's Guan Zhongkai turned to go downstairs to work; he was already somewhat used to it.

They had been followed by too many people along the way. He and Yu Landu only given warnings after they discovered it, but Yue Qianchou insisted on forcing them to kill. He wouldn't let them get away with anything he could kill.

These people who were following them were naturally sent by various forces, and Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu indeed hesitant to kill them. However, when Yue Qianchou noticed their hesitation, he immediately said without hesitation, "If you don't kill them, I'll kill you. You decide what to do."

The two then remembered that this always-smiling fellow had a nickname, "Ruthless Judge," and were immediately terrified by his words. Forced into a corner, they had no choice but to comply. Yu Landu secretly lamented afterwards, wondering how she had gotten on this pirate ship. Even if she got off, this massacre had offended people from all over the country; what was she going to do now?

"Nonsense, is this the place to make a scene?" Yue Qianchou sneered. "There will be plenty of opportunities. Let's talk about it after we leave Lan City."

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhongkai obediently returned, repeatedly admitting his mistake, "Senior, please don't be offended. It was my oversight."

"Huh!" Yue Qianchou exclaimed in slight surprise, narrowing his eyes as he stared down below. Several people walking towards him from the side of the street caught his attention; they were all familiar faces!

The elegant Yan Zhuixing walked alongside a young man dressed in snow-white robes and carrying a white fan, stopping occasionally at various stalls. Behind them were the four members of the Man Hu martial arts group. At the very back were four plainclothes guards carrying swords.

The young man in white was none other than Princess Wen Qing of the Biyuan Kingdom, who had disguised herself as a man in Dayang City. "Why are these guys here too? How did they end up together?" Yue Qianchou muttered to himself.

Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu, who were on either side of the window, noticed Yue Shichou's unusual behavior and both peeked out. They weren't familiar with Yan Zhuixing Wen Qing, but they knew Man Hu and his fellow disciples.

With their keen eyesight, the two men immediately recognized the white-robed young man as a fake. They also found it strange, wondering who this man and woman were, and how they could stop the snowfall. Bing Chengzi's apprentice as his follower!

What intrigued the two most was that, judging from Niu Youde's reaction, he seemed to recognize these people as well. With doubts in their hearts, Guan Zhongtai tentatively asked, "Senior, do you know them?"

Yue Qianchou shook his head slightly and said, "I just think the arrangement of these people is a bit strange. The four in the middle clearly have the cultivation of the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, so why do they seem to be the followers of the first two? Is it possible that the late Tribulation Transcendence stage is now as common as hairs on a cow? Ordinary people can just grab a few as bodyguards?"

His explanation was perfectly reasonable, though anyone knowledgeable would probably find it somewhat strange. Their doubts vanished instantly, and they were both deeply impressed. Spirit Transformation stage expert was indeed formidable; he had seen through the cultivation levels of four late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators with a mere glance.

Little did he know, it would be strange if Yue Qianchou could see that; he only knew back in the Huaxia Cultivation World that Man Hu and the others were at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Guan Zhongkai said with a fawning smile, "Although I don't recognize the two people in front, I do recognize the four cultivators who late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Should I call them up and ask them?"

"Forget it." Yue Qianchou waved his hand dismissively, "They're just four late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending cultivators, no need to worry about them." Guan Zhongkai was also at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, froze, his smile vanished, and he immediately shut up.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, they discovered that this group of people had also broken into the Green Mansion Restaurant.

After Wen Lanfeng overpowered six late Spirit Transformation stage, his words of support for Yue Qianchou left Yan Zhuixing pondering for a long time. He couldn't understand when Yue Qianchou had become involved with Wen Lanfeng.

As for Wen Lanfeng's claim of appreciating Yue Qianchou's talent, not only did he not believe it, but probably no one else would either. Everyone guessed that there was some connection between the two, or that Wen Lanfeng wanted to monopolize the treasures left by the Myriad Sword Demon Lord of the Misty Forest, which was why he used six experts to intimidate others.

After that earth-shattering battle that shook the Cultivation World, Bing Chengzi finally revealed the secret of the Demon Codex to Yan Zhuixing. Yan Zhuixing finally understood why this master and disciple had gone to such lengths to help him. Bing Chengzi then invited Yan Zhuixing to the Qiu Rong Kingdom, but he refused.

The astonishing power displayed by Yue Qianchou's "heroes," capable of wreaking havoc across various kingdoms, has always been coveted by him. He believes that with the leverage he holds over Yue Qianchou, he is well-positioned to bring this hidden strength under his control.

He had a strange feeling that he would meet Yue Qianchou in the Biyuan Kingdom. It was a feeling that seemed like destiny, something he couldn't quite explain. So he decided to wait and see in the Biyuan Kingdom. If his feeling was wrong and he didn't meet Yue Qianchou, he would go to the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce before the "Treasure Gathering Basin Convention" to witness this Cultivation World.
