Chapter 235: 234. An Unforeseen Event! (3/4)
Wen Ping understood Zhantian Qingxuan’s astonishment.
Immortal Slayer opened a new world before her, breaking her understanding of cultivation in her mind, and the immersive experience was even more astonishing, as if those people were right in front of her.
Although for Wen Ping, these things were commonplace.
But she was not.
After leaving the Viewing Room, Wen Ping entered the Fierce Beast Trial Ground again, starting a relentless and frenzied cultivation.
He remained sleepless throughout the night, cultivating until early the next morning.
Wen Ping timed his arrival at the kitchen, beginning preparations for the upgraded Moonlight Dumplings. Because of the previous day’s processing, Wen Ping simply wrapped them and put them into the pot, waiting for one or two hours before they were ready.
For the first time, Wen Ping found the waiting process very lengthy.
Perhaps it was related to his lack of money.
The thought of soon being able to purchase the Sword Control Skill filled him with excitement.
Who hasn’t fantasized about the scene of controlling a flying sword to take the enemy’s head from a thousand miles away, or even the higher-level sword flight? Of course, Wen Ping didn’t care about sword flight.
Because with the Flying Ship, sword flight seemed tiring and low. Simply put, it’s like having a private plane, who would still ride a motorcycle to go out?
...
In the inn.
Puff!
Biyue Piaoling suddenly spat a mouthful of blood onto the bedhead, the blood no longer its original bright red, but turned dark red.
Shan Hua hurriedly ran over to support Biyue Piaoling, asking, "Old Ancestor, what’s wrong with you?"
At this exclamation, Biyue Yi and the other three rushed in from outside the door, reaching the bed within a few steps.
"Great-grandfather, hold on!"
Lu Ye glanced at Biyue Piaoling a few times, then quickly said, "Young Master, the Old Ancestor’s illness has worsened, he could fall at any moment, allow me to transfer Qi to the Old Ancestor to prolong his life."
"Hurry up."
Biyue Yi shouted, and Lu Ye immediately acted.
Bang!
The Meridian Gate opened, the condensed Vein Qi instantly drilled into Biyue Piaoling’s body along the slightly extended hand.
Biyue Yi immediately addressed the heavy-bodied person, "Qiangzi, fetch the medicine!"
...
At noon, the Spiritual Cuisine was ready.
The person retrieving the medicine also arrived.
However, the person was neither Shan Hua nor Biyue Yi and the Half-Step Divine Profound, but another individual.
Wen Ping glanced at his personal information, Upper Profound Realm!
Named Qiangzi!
The most imposing part was — Qiangzi’s name wasn’t a nickname, it was his real name.
As soon as Qiangzi arrived, his gaze darted eagerly around, then fell upon the porcelain bowl on the table, where a special aura emanated, "Sect Leader Wen, my Young Master sent me to retrieve the medicine."
"Did you bring the White Crystal?"
"Brought it!"
Qiangzi hurriedly took out a cloth bag from the Storage Ring and handed it to Wen Ping — inside were 10 White Crystals.
Wen Ping opened the bag and glanced inside, then focused on the dumplings on the table.
"Take them away."
"This is the Spiritual Cuisine that can save the Old Ancestor? Indeed, extraordinary, the Spiritual Qi far surpasses any Spiritual Cuisine I’ve seen."
He truly couldn’t imagine how such rich Spiritual Cuisine would be made from a pile of ordinary Celestial Materials and treasures. But he didn’t have time to think about it now, he grabbed the Moonlight Dumplings, turned, and prepared to leave immediately.
Once certain the medicine was quality stuff, he dared not say another word.
Biyue Piaoling’s current body, relying on the Half-Step Divine Profound to forcibly extend life, couldn’t hold on for much longer.
Once Biyue Piaoling passes away, it would be a great catastrophe for the entire Biyue Family.
Of course, it has nothing to do with power.
It is because Biyue Piaoling is the founding elder of the Biyue Family, worthy of everyone’s respect.
"The Old Ancestor is saved!"
Qiangzi tried to tread cautiously as he left, even though he knew with his strength, it couldn’t possibly spill the soup from the first bowl. His cautious demeanor was such that he feared a drop of soup would spill, risking the Old Ancestor’s treatment.
Once Qiangzi left, Wen Ping hurriedly took the White Crystal to the dormitory area.
Qiangzi quickened down the Thousand Layers Stairway.
But just as he left the foot of Yunlan Mountain, Qiangzi’s expression suddenly changed. Two short arrows exploded with two piercing sounds, reaching him in the blink of an eye. Qiangzi quickly sidestepped to avoid, daring not to spare a hand to counterattack, while his gaze focused on the dark arrows passing by.
Once he saw those arrows, Qiangzi’s expression drastically changed.
Life-taking Arrow!
The deadly weapon of the Sun Family from Zimo Lake.
If even grazed by the Life-taking Arrow, Upper Profound Realm would die within a moment.
Having dodged the dark arrows, Qiangzi dared not counterattack, only wishing to deliver the Spiritual Cuisine quickly, he muttered to himself, "Damn, the Sun Family people actually tracked down Cangwu City!"
Even knowing who the assailants were,
No matter how much he wanted to kill them, he dared not linger.
The priority was delivering the medicine!
In the next moment, Qiangzi ran toward the outskirts of Clear Water Street, but just as he started moving, the piercing sound came again.
This time, the sound rapidly approached his back.
The strong one immediately drew his blade with one hand, instinctively swinging twice, knocking down the incoming dark arrows.
Bam!
With the dark arrows falling to the ground, a one-foot array finally revealed itself.
Qiangzi shouted angrily, "Sun Family, aren’t you afraid of retribution from the Biyue Family?"
"Retribution? You really overestimate your Biyue Family." A voice sounded in the air, "Qiangzi, you’re a smart man, knowing that since we’ve come, we’re confident in killing you. Leave the medicine, or die!"
"If the Clan Leader finds out you’re plotting against Piaoling Old Ancestor, your Sun Family will face annihilation!"
Qiangzi retorted coldly, continuing to rush forward.
But he hadn’t moved far when a white sword aura swiftly struck down on his path, forcing Qiangzi to retreat abruptly, rendering the previous few steps pointless. Looking back, at the place he had stood a moment ago, a deep trench had appeared.
Qiangzi’s expression changed, and then he saw three individuals emerge from the alley, moving toward him, speaking as they came, "What are you saying, our Sun Family is just feuding with you, coming to kill you! How could we plot against Piaoling Old Ancestor? He’s a respected figure throughout Zimo Lake."
"Stop wasting words, kill him."
"Let’s act together."
After the remaining two spoke, three Meridian Gates opened simultaneously, pressing against Qiangzi.
Qiangzi glanced at the soup-ravaged Spiritual Cuisine, then at the three Upper Profound Realm approaching him, anxiety flooding his face. He knew the Old Ancestor couldn’t hold on for much longer.
And breaking through was the only choice.
Kill!
With a roar, Qiangzi swung his blade, Meridian Gate trembled, then swung his blade, directly using his ultimate move.
One move turned Clear Water Street into a ruin!
But even such a grandiose move was casually resolved by the three approaching.
Moreover, an arrow shot by one even hit the porcelain bowl in his hand!
Crash!
The porcelain bowl shattered, falling to the ground.
The upgraded Moonlight Dumplings scattered all over.
"The medicine!"
Qiangzi cried out in alarm, immediately bending down to retrieve the Moonlight Dumplings. But at that moment, the three arrived in front of him.
One sword!
The white aura cut across the sky, bringing up a splash of blood.
Puff!
Blood sprayed wildly.
Qiangzi’s right arm flew through the air for a while, eventually landing in the rubble of a house.
