Chu Liufeng looked at her coldly and said, "You little brat, you seem to know quite a lot. Well then, I won't let you off the hook today."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "You think the same way I do. Don't you feel particularly uncomfortable? Nauseous and want to vomit?"

Chu Liufeng snorted coldly and said:

Do you know what level I am? Ordinary poisons have no effect on me.

"I'm a Earth Ranking; you ignorant brat wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Who's the ignorant child? I hate it when people call me an ignorant child. So what if I'm a Earth Ranking expert?"

If you can make it onto the Earth Ranking, why can't I?

Chu Liufeng laughed heartily:

"How dare a little brat like you make it onto the Earth Ranking?"

Do you know what kind of people make it onto the Earth Ranking? They are the strongest people in all the countries.

I can kill hundreds of people in an instant, do you think you can beat me?

Zhou Wanwan directly pulled out the waist token of number 99 on the Earth Ranking and said, "This is number 99. I was just as confident as you back then, but later..."

Chu Liufeng squinted and asked, "What happened next? Pfft..."

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and said, "What kind of drug did you give me? Why do I feel so weak and itchy all over?"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "It's naturally a colorless and odorless medicine, certainly not an ordinary poison."

Chu Liufeng looked at her and said, "Impossible. You're so far away from me, how could you possibly inject these drugs into my body?"

The Old Scholar Tree suddenly moved, its roots entangling Chu Liufeng.

Chu Liufeng struggled and cried out, "No! A tree demon! How is this possible? How could such a creature exist in this world?"

Zhou Wanwan waved and said, "Goodbye! Number 98 on the Earth Ranking, looks like my ranking will have to move up a step."

Chu Liufeng collapsed to the ground, his face filled with resentment. The Old Scholar Tree wrapped him in its roots, forming a cocoon around him, and said:

"It will take a lot of effort to digest these Earth Ranking people; I have to take it slowly."

I don't know if it will let me upgrade.

Zhou Wanwan climbed directly into the treehouse and said, "Uncle Scholar Tree, you can level up slowly! I'm so sleepy! I want to sleep for a while."

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "Okay, you go to sleep first!"

After a day and a night, the Old Scholar Tree finally opened its eyes and said:

"Wanwan, my power has become incredibly strong. You can go three days and three nights without supplying me with energy, and my speed is now extremely fast."

Let's test just how fast I can go.

Zhou Wanwan was sitting in the treehouse when she saw the Old Scholar Tree move; the speed was as fast as lightning.

The key point is that she sat inside the treehouse without feeling any bumps or jolting.

Moreover, this speed is almost the same as that of a train, meaning that it would only take half a day to get back home from the Northern Desert.

This is terrifying!

The Old Scholar Tree smiled and said:

"The people on this Earth Ranking are indeed very powerful."

Wanwan, what do you say? Since we killed the city lord, why don't we become the city lord ourselves?

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said:

"But this Peerless City also has a Earth Ranking!"

What if that Earth Ranking is unfavorable to us?

Zhou Wanwan suddenly heard someone cough from not far away and say, "I didn't expect it to be a little girl, how interesting!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the old man and said, "Senior, what advice do you have for me?"

The old man gave her a very strange feeling; Zhou Wanwan always felt that he was full of energy.

The old man looked at her and said:

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm. I really am number 95 on the Earth Ranking."

However, my strength is no longer as great. Even if I were to truly fight you, tree, I have no chance of winning.

After saying that, he coughed heavily and said:

"I have a very serious illness and I don't think I have much longer to live."

If you want to be the lord of Peerless City, I'm willing to accept that. After all, Peerless City needs a capable person to run it.

This Peerless City is my home, my roots, and I hope it gets better and better.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "I just don't know what's wrong with you? Do you need me to take a look?"

The old man laughed loudly:

"Little girl, my illness is not something that ordinary people can cure. In my younger days, I fought with someone and had my tendons in my hands and feet severed, and most of the meridians in my body were also broken."

I'm still ranked 95th on the Earth Ranking, but it's all just a title now; I'm long past my prime.

He felt completely drained of energy; his meridians were completely blocked, and he couldn't circulate even a trace of his true power.

The Old Scholar Tree examined the old man's body and said, "It's pretty much as he said; most of his meridians are severed."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

How about we make a deal?

"If I cure your illness, you'll take over the management of Peerless City for me. What do you say?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "If you can really cure my illness, I'd give you my life."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Then how can you make me trust you? What if I heal you, and then you turn around and kill me?"

The old man laughed:

"Do you know about a kind of Gu worm? If you plant it on me, the Gu will obey you."

If I dare to break the oath I made with you, the Gu worms will activate inside me, gnawing at my meridians with excruciating pain, rendering me completely immobile.

The old man took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, uncorked it, and poured out a pair of Gu worms.

He shook the Gu worm in his palm and said:

"This is one of those Oath Gu; I have plenty of them here."

I'm a practitioner of Gu poison; using Gu to control people and kill people is commonplace for me.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Then how do I know if this kind of Gu can control you?"

The old man smiled and said, "You can try it, it's very simple."

Zhou Wanwan naturally knew about this kind of Gu worm. She placed one of the Gu worms on her skin, and it quickly disappeared.

The old man placed another Gu worm inside his body and said, "Now you can try to see if you can control me."

Sure enough, Zhou Wanwan sensed the Gu worms inside the old man's body.

The old man looked at her and said:

"Actually, you should know some knowledge about Gu worms, otherwise you wouldn't dare to do this. Yours is just the Master Gu."

This is just Subordinate Gu; there are several more of Subordinate Gu, I'll give them to you too!

Zhou Wanwan naturally understood these things; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to do so.

She took the old man's pulse and said, "The situation is indeed quite serious. Lie down on this sheet first, and I'll try to see if I can help improve it."

The old man kept rambling on and on:

"My injuries were inflicted by a master ranked 88th on the Earth Ranking."

Those of us on the Jianghu Earth Ranking are all competitive, and we always love to challenge each other to a duel.

That time, I argued with him over the benefits of a hilltop, and we started fighting.

He was ruthless; he severely injured me in just a few moves, destroying my meridians and severing my tendons.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Then why do the people on your Earth Ranking always seem to be fighting each other?"

The old man looked up at her and slowly said:

You have no idea how precious these Earth Ranking are.

Win a match, and your ranking will rise. Every month, you can go to the Jianghu Alliance to collect silver, good medicine, handy weapons, and martial arts manuals.

The higher your ranking, the more good things you can get.

Whether it's mining, trading, or acquiring territory, everyone prioritizes those with higher rankings; who wouldn't want to climb the ladder?
