"Senior, this junior knows his mistake, please give this junior a chance!" Zhao Xi imdiately straightened his attitude. Although the Zhao Family receives a large amount of "gifts" from the Iron Blood Stockade every year, in return, the Zhao Family occasionally helps the Iron Blood Stockade deal with so "formidable" adversaries that they cannot handle.
This is a win-win result.
The Zhao Family can gain a large amount of wealth without dirtying their hands, and sotis even receive a few top-grade original beauties. But to say to live and die with the Iron Blood Stockade?
What a joke!
What is the Iron Blood Stockade that they can stand on equal footing with the Zhao Family?
Zhao Xi was rely curious for a mont, which is why he took on this errand to co here, never expecting that things would be so coincidental, and he would encounter a terrifying enemy!
For such an expert, I’m afraid only the Old Ancestor can handle!
Zhao Xi thought with his frog-in-a-well knowledge. In his eyes, the Old Ancestor’s cultivation level was the strongest in the world, and there was no way anyone stronger could exist.
Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Too late, you’ve already made your choice!"
"Senior, my family patriarch Zhao Kequn is the Star Emperor!" Zhao Xi proudly stated, bringing out the big figure.
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "So what?"
So what?
Star Emperor, what a bumpkin!
Zhao Xi’s eyes darted around urgently, and suddenly he abandoned his sword and turned to run!
He didn’t want to get involved in this ss anymore. It originally had nothing to do with the Zhao Family, so why stay?
Zhou Heng pointed with one finger, and whoosh, Zhao Xi’s fleeing body suddenly turned into a shower of blood, naturally dying completely.
Hiss!
All the bandits were petrified!
It’s over now!
Not to ntion Zhou Heng, this calamity star, just the fact that the most outstanding mber of the Zhao Family’s younger generation died here... they would also be killed by the furious Zhao Family! Dead without hope of revival, not a single dog in the entire stockade would survive!
"No need to worry, this has nothing to do with you!" Zhou Heng said with a faint smile, but his murderous aura was boiling.
"Fight to the death!" All the bandits had their eyes reddened, since Zhou Heng had cut off their escape route, they naturally had no choice but to fight desperately.
Unfortunately, they had no idea what cultivation level Zhou Heng had, in comparison, what was the Zhao Family?
Zhou Heng casually waved his hand, a flash of cold light swept through, and all the bandits’ bodies exploded, turning into a shower of blood.
This was two hundred steps of battle power!
Zhou Heng returned to normalcy, he had already vaguely grasped the direction of a breakthrough, proving that his years of ordinary life had not been in vain. So once again, he returned to normalcy. Perhaps, next ti he could truly achieve a breakthrough.
He headed towards the Nujiang Sect, traveling with the speed of an ordinary person.
A month later, he arrived outside the mountain gate of the Nujiang Sect.
"Little brother, please inform, I want to see Lu Tong!" Zhou Heng said to a guard at the mountain gate.
"Lu Tong!" There were four guards at the mountain gate, upon hearing Lu Tong’s na, they all showed a solemn expression, and the guard conversing with Zhou Heng said, "Old man, are you related to Uncle Lu?"
"His elder, just tell him my na is Zhou Heng!" Zhou Heng replied.
"Old man, please wait a mont, I will go report!" The guard hurried away, and after about ten minutes, returned with a sturdy young man flying beside him.
"Old Master Zhou!" The young man hesitated a little when he saw Zhou Heng, but imdiately shouted with enthusiasm. He was evidently Lu Tong. After not seeing each other for ten years, he had grown into a handso young man.
He looked around, showing a puzzled expression, and asked, "Where are my parents? Old Master Zhou, did sothing happen to my parents? Why is it you who ca to see this ti?"
Zhou Heng walked over, took the young man’s arm, and said, "Co with , I need to tell you sothing!"
The two walked to the side, soon Lu Tong’s angry roar was heard, and then the young man burst into tears.
Zhou Heng did not go back, he built a hut outside the Nujiang Sect’s mountain gate.
He had promised Lin Yuhua to take care of Lu Tong, of course, this care could not last a lifeti, but at least while he was still transford into a mortal, he would always guard Lu Tong until he took that step and ford the tenth Black Cave!
Lu Tong went to pay his respects to his parents, and when he reached the Iron Blood Stockade, he only saw ruins, but the grave Zhou Heng had established was intact. He inquired and found out that sohow, the Iron Blood Stockade had offended the Zhao Family, which led to its destruction in Zhao Family’s anger!
The vengeance was settled by soone else!
Lu Tong knelt before the grave for three days and nights before returning to the Nujiang Sect, practicing even more diligently. With Zhou Heng’s secret help, improving his physique, his progress was rapid, and there was great hope of breaking through the Stellar Realm within a century!
This brought joy to the entire Nujiang Sect, as the retired forr Sect Master, the top expert, was only a Star Emperor! Considering Lu Tong’s current progress, he was very likely to surpass the Stellar Realm in the future!
To ensure this genius was fully loyal, the current Sect Master intended to marry his daughter to Lu Tong, trying every possible ans to keep them together.
The daughter was nad Wu Xiui, matching her na, both beautiful and charming, a renowned beauty. However, being too beautiful made her inevitably proud and aloof. Although Lu Tong fell in love with her at first sight, she was not very interested in him.
Under her father’s strict orders, Wu Xiui still spent every day with Lu Tong, and everyone thought—affection grows over ti!
Lu Tong is a very filial child. Every few days, he would co to see Zhou Heng. Since Wu Xiui spent all her ti with Lu Tong except when she was sleeping at night, she also ca over a few tis to see Zhou Heng.
As ti went on, she ca even more than Lu Tong, sotis even sneaking over after going to bed.
The young girl had a lot on her mind.
She didn’t have strong feelings for Lu Tong, neither liking nor disliking him, but she was very resentful of being forced by her parents, her elders, and everyone else to be with Lu Tong, which instead stirred up her rebellious spirit.
Ever since that day Zhou Heng said a few words to Lu Tong, he had remained silent and no longer spoke, so Wu Xiui thought he was deaf and dumb and often confided in him.
This peaceful life was shattered six months later.
Lu Tong and Wu Xiui followed Wu Tong, the current Sect Master of the Nujiang Sect, to attend a major sect’s auction, intending to acquire so Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to help Lu Tong grow faster. They succeeded in buying the dicine, but Wu Xiui also caught the eye of the Young Sect Master of the Sky Blue Sect.
Seven days later, the Sky Blue Sect sent an emissary to the Nujiang Sect, saying their Young Sect Master wanted to take Wu Xiui as his twenty-third concubine!
The emissary’s attitude was extrely arrogant, as if they weren’t there to propose marriage but rely to inform a subordinate, completely disregarding the will of the Nujiang Sect.
The Sky Blue Sect had enough reason to be arrogant!
Because the Sky Blue Sect was far stronger than the Nujiang Sect—they had experts from the Milky Way Realm!
This is a world where the strong are kings. Since the Sky Blue Sect is much stronger than the Nujiang Sect, naturally, as the Young Sect Master of the Sky Blue Sect, he could demand anything from the Nujiang Sect. If they refused, they would simply be trampled over!
This put the leaders of the Nujiang Sect in a difficult position!
To agree, not only would it be a disgrace to marry the Sect Master’s beloved daughter to soone as a concubine, but what would happen to Lu Tong? What man could endure such a thing?
The Nujiang Sect would not only suffer extre humiliation but also lose a promising genius!
After much deliberation, the Nujiang Sect decided to resist!
But in a direct confrontation, the Nujiang Sect would be completely outmatched, so Wu Tong first pretended to agree to stall the Sky Blue Sect while imdiately mobilizing the entire sect to prepare to relocate!
Once Lu Tong advanced to the Milky Way Realm in the future, they would naturally return with their heads held high!
However, there were over a thousand people in the Nujiang Sect, and it was impossible for everyone to be loyal, so a few vile individuals, seeking their own future, ran to the Sky Blue Sect to inform them!
This infuriated the leaders of the Sky Blue Sect!
How dare the small Nujiang Sect deceive them?
Thus, a Supre Elder led a team to attack the Nujiang Sect. Although the Sky Blue Sect did not send out a Milky Way Realm expert, they dispatched eleven Stellar Realm experts, including one Star Emperor, five Star Sovereigns, and five Star Kings!
Such a lineup could already destroy the Nujiang Sect several tis over!
The Nujiang Sect wasn’t prepared for this, as they hadn’t even relocated yet, and the Sky Blue Sect’s forces were already at their doorstep!
Fight to the death, or surrender?
The Sky Blue Sect gave the Nujiang Sect a choice: if they didn’t want their sect to be destroyed, everyone in the Nujiang Sect must co out and kneel to confess their sins. The n could only wear shorts, and the won... not even a pair of socks!
This was a blatant humiliation!
The Nujiang Sect couldn’t swallow this indignity and decided to fight to the death!
Lu Tong ca to see Zhou Heng again. He wanted Zhou Heng to leave, as this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Heng, and once the battle started, the Nujiang Sect planned to focus on breaking through. Most people would have to sacrifice themselves, only preserving the most core and promising disciples, hoping to rise again soday.
He was surely a key figure to be preserved, but he couldn’t selfishly have the sect’s experts take care of Zhou Heng too!
"Old Master Zhou, you should go first!" Lu Tong persuaded, "You don’t know martial arts, the people outside shouldn’t make things difficult for you!"
Zhou Heng smiled and spoke for the first ti, "Foolish boy, how can the whole nest remain unscathed when it is overturned? The Sky Blue Sect is here to establish their power, how could they possibly let a single survivor go?"
Upon hearing him speak, Wu Xiui was shocked and her small mouth ford an ’O’, her pretty face quickly blushing with embarrassnt.
—She had confided too much in Zhou Heng, including private matters befitting a young lady!
Oh, this hateful old man, pretending to be deaf and mute all along!
Lu Tong tried to convince Zhou Heng for a long ti, but he couldn’t move him, so he left despondently while Wu Xiui gave Zhou Heng a fierce glare full of anger. But since none knew if they would survive to see the next day, even the biggest grievances could be dispelled.
After the three-day deadline, the Sky Blue Sect began their assault.
Buzz!
At this mont, an incredibly terrifying will suddenly descended, Zhou Heng reverted to a young voice and said just one word: "Scram!"
The Sky Blue Sect, of course, refused to comply and wanted to test the waters, but a finger descended from the sky, instantly crushing all eleven Stellar Realm experts, thus relieving the Nujiang Sect of this extermination crisis.
Who was this mysterious expert?
The entire Nujiang Sect was filled with curiosity. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
