Return, Fulfilling the Promise

Ruin City, Guest's Abode, third-floor window booth.

Two dishes and a soup were laid out in front of He Liang. He picked up the wine pot, filled his wine cup, took a sip, picked up a grain of rice with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a crunching sound. His expression was uncertain, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Judging by the time, the Secret Realm is about to close. I wonder how much Hua Qiang has gained in the Secret Realm.

Have you completed the tasks you were assigned?

I hope he's lucky and that he'll achieve something, so that my efforts in helping him won't have been in vain.

If he can't bring the "Water of Life" to himself, then... hehe, his initial investment will be doubled off, and no one will be able to take advantage of him.

At this moment, Hua Qiang had already survived the Lightning Tribulation and achieved the Immortal Emperor Second Heaven.

He concealed his aura, revealing only his cultivation level True Immortal Realm First Layer, and then headed towards Ruin City, which was tens of thousands of miles away.

He is a man of his word, and his promises are worth a fortune. Since he has received such a favor, he naturally has to repay it accordingly.

The spiritual springs in the Small World contain abundant Life Divine Water, the quality and efficacy of which far exceed the Water of Life that He Liang requested.

However, this is too precious for him to take out, lest it cause trouble.

What he intended to give to He Liang was only diluted Life Divine Water.

Even if diluted ten thousand times, it is still far more than the ordinary kind of Water of Life!

Hua Qiang had to admire He Liang's keen eye; he had managed to spot this high-potential stock and invest in him.

Soon, he arrived at Ruin City. With a sweep of his divine sense, he locked onto He Liang's location and then slowly walked towards the restaurant.

He Liang, who was drinking, sensed Hua Qiang's presence and immediately stood up from his seat, his face full of astonishment, followed by a look of surprise.

The kid came out. I wonder how he fared and whether he got the Water of Life he needed.

"Hey buddy, over here!" He poked his head out of the window and called out to Hua Qiang, who was walking towards the front door.

Hua already knew where He Liang was on the floor, but he pretended not to know, looked up, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Soon, the two sat down again, and several main dishes were laid out on the table. He Liang filled Hua Qiang's wine glass with wine, raised his glass and said, "Young brother, congratulations on your successful return!"

After the two shared a drink, He Liang looked at Hua Qiang again Wen Dao, "How did the trip to the Secret Realm go? Was it successful?"

Hua Qiang smiled faintly, then produced a jade bottle in his hand, filled with a bottle of emerald green liquid, and placed it on the table in front of He Liang.

"I was lucky. Although I encountered many crises, I managed to escape them all and successfully completed my mission!"

He Liang stared intently at the bottle on the table, filled with a crystal-clear blue liquid, a look of ecstasy spreading across his face.

He quickly put away the Water of Life, raised his cup again and said, "Young brother, thank you. I never expected that you would have such good fortune to actually obtain this treasure. This time, I am indebted to you."

After downing a glass of wine, his eyes flickered, and he began to ponder. This kid had taken out a bottle of Water of Life so readily, so he definitely had more than just this one.

He wasn't sure of the exact amount, but he looked Hua Qiang up and down and was quite surprised to see that he had reached the True Immortal Realm.

It should be noted that Hua Qiang was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm before entering the Secret Realm. He has already crossed a major realm in such a short time. He is truly a prodigy.

Upon discovering that Hua Qiang was only at the True Immortal Realm First Layer, his mind began to stir again.

He's now at the True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer, so dealing with a mere first-level trash is a piece of cake.

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he looked at Hua Qiang. This time, Hua Qiang must have gained a lot in the Secret Realm, and all of these things should be his.

A mere True Immortal Realm First Layer is not worthy of possessing it.

The two then toasted and ate together, having a lively time.

After a hearty meal and drinks, He Liang asked enthusiastically, "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Hua Qiang glanced at He Liang. The greed in He Liang's eyes, though fleeting, could not escape Hua Qiang's notice.

However, he remained calm and composed. It's normal and understandable for him to have desires, but it's best not to impose them on him. If he dares to show them, it can only be said that this is his fate.

"Yes, I'm going back to my sect."

"Oh, what a coincidence! I just happen to be going down to the Lower Realm on official business. I'll give you a ride for free."

"Hehe, then I'll have to trouble you." Hua Qiang also showed a smile.

Hopefully, this kid won't make any unnecessary moves, oh well...

Soon, the two left the restaurant, He Liang took out a Cloud Boat and tossed it into the air.

The Cloud Boat continued to grow larger, and once the two were seated, it soared into the sky and vanished in an instant.

They broke through boundaries all the way down and soon entered the territory of the Middle Fourth Heaven.

Suddenly, the speeding Cloud Boat came to a stop, below which lay a bottomless Abyss shrouded in mist.

He Liang suddenly turned around, his face full of greed.

"Young brother, let's make a deal. I'm a bit short on cash lately. You must have gained quite a bit from the Secret Realm this time, right?"

Let your brother see if there's anything he can use.

"Don't take anything from me, brother. I won't touch anything I don't need!"

Damn it, this kid has finally shown his true colors. He won't touch anything he can use, but he'll just grab whatever he can't.

Hua Qiang remained expressionless, his gaze calm as he looked at He Liang, which greatly displeased him.

Damn it, you're so calm, are you unaware of fear, or are you just stupid?

He is True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer, shouldn't he be terrified and even beg for mercy?

"Give it to me!"

He Liang held out his hand, gesturing for Hua Qiang to hand over his Storage Ring.

He still maintained a degree of arrogance and didn't intend to directly snatch it.

He even thought that with his status as Silver Rank Inspector, Hua Qiang wouldn't dare to resist. He had taken the other party's things, so what? What else could the other party do?

If the other party is sensible and cooperates obediently, he may spare their life; if they dare to resist, then he should not blame him for killing them.

Hua Qiang remained calm and composed, even sporting a mocking smile.

"Inspector He, are you trying to steal my things?"

"Damn, why say it so harshly?"

This is something everyone who sees it gets a share of.

Those who have the treasures will live in !

You should know that some things, if you possess them, will become a source of trouble and can easily bring you death or disaster.

"I'm only doing this for your own safety, to share the danger with you!"

Hua Qiang couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking how shameless a person could be.

He then stopped laughing and said, "What if I don't give it to you?"
