C577 – Something Happened to Wang Chuan

Everyone came to Wang Chuan’s courtyard.

Their eyes fell on Old Wu whose countenance had declined. He had taken a powerful palm strike to the chest, leaving him with frail Qi and a pallid face.

Wang Chuan, on the other hand, had been vanquished both in body and spirit. The brutality of his opponent was evident; he wasn’t giving Wang Chuan any chance whatsoever.

“Old Wu, what happened?” Qiao Dangdang hurried over, assisting Wu Jinghua to rise. Offering the Holy Spring, he let Wu Jinghua drink a few mouthfuls. The transformation in Old Wu’s expression only transpired after he had finished the contents of the water skin.

Zhang Changsheng’s formidable and potent mental power extended outwards, exuding mounting intent to kill.

“The man in black has returned. Old Wang and I coincidentally encountered him. Our whereabouts were compromised, and he aimed to eliminate us to preserve secrecy. He probably feared Old Ancestor’s involvement, hence he struck Old Wang and me with his palm before departing.”

“Heh, Old Wang, he…” Wu Jinghua’s eyes nearly bulged out. He hurled a punch at the stone grinding mill beside him. A surge of killing intent surged like an immense tide, each wave surpassing the previous.

As everyone witnessed this, their eyes seemed on the verge of splitting open. Wang Chuan’s visage and voice still lingered, yet they hadn’t anticipated his life to be brutally extinguished by another.

How could they feel good about this?

“Creak!”

A piercing sound erupted from beside Zhang Changsheng — the noise of sword light tearing through the very fabric of the Void.

Qiao Dangdang watched this spectacle with astonishment. Never could he have anticipated that Wang Chuan’s demise would catalyze a breakthrough in Zhang Changsheng’s Sword Dao.

Zhang Changsheng’s eyes turned crimson. He fixed his gaze on Wu Jinghua and inquired, “Old Wu, did you get a clear view? It was truly a man in black? Is it undoubtedly him?”

Wu Jinghua affirmed with solemnity, “I am certain. I saw it with utmost clarity!”

“I’ll go after him!”

As Zhang Changsheng concluded, he transformed into a sharp sword, cleaving through the Void. Thus, a tunnel came into being, hewn by his very will.

This spine-chilling spectacle momentarily stunned all, yet it was a fleeting shock. Wang Chuan’s demise had set ablaze the flames of wrath within every heart. They yearned to apprehend the man in black, to rend him to a million shreds.

“The man in black is displaying remarkable arrogance. Why would he intrude upon the courtyard? This strays from the usual conduct we associate with the man in black!”

Gua Wazi said in a puzzled manner.

The others nodded when they heard him. Gua Wazi was right.

The man in black was so proud that he almost raised his nose to the sky. A person like him would never secretly attack.

“What do you know? That young man is the master of the black-clothed man. Didn’t he also launch a sneak attack on the dog?”

Wu Jinghua roared angrily.

“That’s not the same. That young man had warned my master before. Although it was a sneak attack, it was an open and aboveboard attack. It can’t be considered a sneak attack anymore!”

Wazi Wazi frowned and continued, “Chief, I suspect that the man in black wasn’t the one from that day, but another one.”

Wu Jinghua was startled when he heard that and nodded, “Perhaps you’re right. I hope Senior Changsheng can catch that bastard and avenge Old Wang!”

After saying that, Old Wu clenched his fists and said, “The revenge of the small courtyard must be taken. No one can kill the people of the small courtyard without restraint!”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.

“Alright, Old Wu, you go and recover first. If it’s really the men in black, Old Zhang might not be able to catch up to us!”

“Also, strengthen the security. Because of Zhang Xuan’s existence, our security is useless. It’s too lax. Now that kid Zhang isn’t here, we should be more careful!”

Qiao Dangdang said.

Wu Jinghua nodded in agreement. “Old Qiao is right. Gua Wazi, quickly gather the troops in the village and take turns to guard.”

“Yes!” Gua Wazi immediately led his men.

Everyone was still immersed in the endless grief of Wang Chuan’s death.

“Before Ancestor left, he handed over the safety of the courtyard to me. Now that Wang Chuan is dead, how can I face Ancestor?”

Wu Jinghua sighed softly, his eyes were filled with grief.

……

“Hahaha, my little bell is going to advance again!”

In a valley, Loong Linshuang’s arrogant laughter was heard far away.

She raised the little bell with both of her claws and twisted her little butt. She was extremely pleased with herself.

The little cat also did the same, its little bell was also about to advance.

“As expected, only by coming out can I gain experience!”

Loong Linshuang said excitedly.

This was already the number of sealing formations that they destroyed.

Currently, the small courtyard’s pirate hunting group had resounded throughout the entire Martial Celestial Realm. Wherever the Divine Ship went, all the powers would welcome it.

Those people from the Burial World were simply too powerful. Without the help of the small courtyard, there was no way for them to defend against them.

The hunting group in the small courtyard had already become a fire extinguishing team. They had put out fires everywhere, and after killing them, they had left the main door open, allowing the people from the Burial World to come over one after another.

These few days, even though the doors were open, not many people came. This made Loong Linshuang and Kitten somewhat anxious. Fortunately, someone came to this door today, and their treasures had been upgraded.

“It’s boring!”

While Loong Linshuang and Kitten appeared at ease, Nannan found herself discontented. The situation felt utterly meaningless. They had set out to engage in some mischief and have fun, but now they were busy keeping watch everywhere.

Dealing with these spectral matters was something she detested.

“Giggles, every one of us contributes to the world’s balance. Sister Nannan, our Master has always dedicated himself to safeguarding this realm. As his daughter, you wouldn’t want to let him down, right?”

Loong Linshuang chimed in, playfully swaying her posterior.

Upon hearing this, Nannan puckered her lips. Just due to this remark, she had been monitoring the entrance for over a month. The days were becoming far too monotonous.

“I truly can’t fathom how Dad manages it!” Nannan expressed in exasperation.

Taoist Immortal Jiang responded with reverence, “Your uniqueness lies in this. We’ve only been here for a few days and already feel weary, yet you’ve likely been doing this for tens of millions of years!”

Zhang Xuan was oblivious to Taoist Immortal Jiang’s thoughts. If he were aware, he’d probably laugh. He hadn’t even spent five years in this realm. How could he have endured it for tens of millions of years?

“Ah, the struggles of being my father’s daughter.”

Nannan sighed.

Beside her, Tao and the others exchanged eye-rolls. Did it really require maintaining a semblance of dignity to utter those words?

But they had grown accustomed to it. Nannan was oblivious to the concept of maintaining appearances.

Being the master’s daughter was likely the ultimate aspiration for girls across the world.

And those older than her harbored dreams of becoming the master’s woman.

Nannan remained uncertain whether she was fortunate or not!

Such audacious expressions might have been unique to Nannan alone.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a figure tore through the fabric of reality and materialized.

“It’s you!”

Upon spotting the black-clad individual, a tension-filled atmosphere gripped the Divine Ship’s occupants.

Even though Zhang Xuan had previously dealt with the black-clad man, his power was unmistakable to all.

“You fools! How dare you disrupt my plans! You’re asking for death!”

Learning of the situation, the black-clad man seethed with such anger that his nose seemed close to distortion.

His hand extended, and at that instant, silence seemed to descend upon the entire world.

As his palm surged forth, it appeared as if heaven and earth were on the brink of annihilation.

“Woof…”

Nearly as soon as the black-clad man emerged, a claw extended from beneath the Divine Ship.
