"Why not?" A sharp glint flashed in Lu Ren's eyes.
Chu Hongjiao thought Lu Ren had gone mad. "Lu Ren, I urge you not to act rashly. The sect won't believe me, much less you. How could you kill Chu Zhaoming in public on your own? And there's a Ghost Path Cultivator behind him!"
"I'm not foolish enough to go alone. I plan to enlist Yuan Luozi's help. If he protects me, I'm certain I can drag those two Ghost Path Cultivators into the open!"
Lu Ren spoke with conviction.
Chu Hongjiao shook her head. "Lu Ren, I know you've reached the Ninth Shattered Realm over the past century, but Chu Zhaoming's strength has grown even more terrifying. His Battle Embryo has reached the Four Extremities Origin Realm. You can't defeat him, let alone kill him!"
"And how do you know how much I've improved in the past century?"
A smile appeared on Lu Ren's confident face. He did not linger and left at once.
Chu Hongjiao caught up to Lu Ren and handed him a token. "Lu Ren, Yuan Luozi and I know each other. With this token, you should have a better chance of persuading him!"
Lu Ren held the purple token, engraved with the words "Misty Rain," and nodded. "Thank you!"
"Be careful!"
Chu Hongjiao shyly kissed Lu Ren on the forehead, then left the inn ahead of him.
Pill City, Myriad Pills Merchant Pavilion!
As soon as Lu Ren entered the Myriad Pills Merchant Pavilion, an elderly man came to receive him. One look at Lu Ren's face, and he recognized him.
"Aren't you Young Master Lu Ren? What brings you to our pavilion?"
Awe showed on the elderly man's face.
The young man before him was not merely a prodigy with a Battle Embryo.
