Clark's eyes flashed with a sinister, powerful light. By sheer luck, An Er managed to catch up.
Clark was far ahead and in excellent condition.
Unlike An Er, who suffered from a violent backlash that attacked her harshly.
Her personal area was stained with blood.
anwhile, Clark was betting that she would collapse.
But was Clark the type who wouldn't prepare a backup plan if An Er didn't collapse? Of course not.
Clark's action was vile; it even affected Xiu Qing, whose heart whispered that she didn't want to marry her daughter to this devil.
Clark's plan wasn't to exploit the mother and present a positive image of himself.
But to exploit the daughter herself.
In an instant, shocking the spectators...
Boom!!!
Clark's refinent was ruined, and the effect was insane.
After all, the two were right next to each other.
And both suffered a powerful, violent backlash.
They fell at the exact sa ti.
Everyone was astonished, and one word echoed in their minds:
• "Is this a draw??! Such a thing has never happened once in the Refinent Conference!"
But Clark had succeeded in doing this.
Truly insane.
Everyone rushed forward and gathered around An Er, who they thought was dead.
Her mother was terrified.
Twice her refinent had been disrupted, and the violent backlash had attacked her twice.
anwhile, Clark pretended to have lost consciousness.
True, the explosion was strong, but he withstood it.
While An Er showed remarkable resilience, she was still alive.
The elders of the Zhong Nan Sect began treating her, while they left Clark lying on the ground.
After all, his turn would co.
Why should he hurry? Everything cos in its ti.
Isn't that so?!
An Er gradually regained consciousness. Not even ten minutes had passed since her treatnt, after all. She was treated by immortal-level cultivators who possessed immortal healing thods.
Even Clark admired that; he felt his health recovering rapidly.
His injury wasn't weakening or harming Clark, but fear.
Clark wasn't just harsh on others; he was harsh on himself too.
Clark sat down comfortably.
Xiu Qing harbored resentnt toward Clark. After what happened, she hadn't expected him to use such a despicable thod.
But she chose to remain silent. Clark was sothing desired by her entire sect.
If she yelled or got angry at him, it would show the poor judgnt of Han Qing's faction.
Even other factions would offer Clark to join them.
And that was sothing she didn't want.
An Er approached Clark, who spoke first:
• "It seems like a draw."
An Er looked at Clark.
• "No, it's your victory!!!"
Everyone, including Clark, was shocked.
An Er continued:
• "In reality, you fell after by re seconds. Isn't that your victory? And I keep my promise. Take it."
Clark received an Extre Move for storing ssages. It contained the recipe for the "Phantom Face" that Clark wanted. He looked at it with joy.
Moreover, he was flooded with resources for every victory he achieved.
He just needed to win the next round and begin refining the immortal Phantom Face.
He was extrely excited and felt his heart pounding.
After this achievent, he would proceed with creating his own path with supre ease, and perhaps even develop the Sky-Stealing Fists.
Thoughts blazed in his head.
An Er watched him, feeling strange. She said:
• "I don't mind marrying you!!!"
This was the second announcent.
An Er wanted soone stronger and better than her. She didn't want soone worse than her, after all.
But what disappointed her most was that Clark wasn't interested.
Even his expressions of happiness were full of pretense.
Everyone felt happy that soone like Clark, who possessed thods to nurture the soul, would be tied to their sect. It was exciting.
But in reality, what tempted Clark was rely the spoils.
Even the dowry was simply Clark's victory prize!
After that, Jin's looks were filled with hatred toward Clark.
• "How did he achieve these accomplishnts? How? Is he lucky? What is this person? Why is he like this?!"
• "What don't I know that he knows? How? How, damn it!!!"
In human nature, since their very origin, even in human stories... these two were from Earth and knew Earth's tales, like the brother who killed his brother for a woman...
It wasn't just resentnt, but pure envy and a massive sense of inferiority.
No matter how much Jin tried to asure up to his chance encounter, it wasn't like Clark's encounter.
Who had trained under the oppressive Demonic Venerable, the Spectral King.
He didn't know about that.
Also, Clark was just a pawn who managed to escape the eternal cycle.
Why was he surpassing him? ?
But after long thought, Jin understood everything.
This was Heaven's influence.
No matter how hard he tried, these two were destined for enmity and resentnt.
• "I've found it! I will never leave his side! I will watch him wherever he goes!"
A flash—a ssage had arrived for him.
Jin opened the Extre Move and looked at it!!
He fell into deep interest.
• "Hahahahaha! The Southern Sea is interesting. Master Shark's Den personally invited . It seems he covets the Dao of Refinent."
• "Good, I'll invite Clark to go with . That way, I can watch him. I'll watch exactly what he does to understand this person."
After the Zhong Nan Sect's celebration ended, Clark and Jin left together.
The two stood side by side, but Clark noticed Jin hadn't moved.
• "What's wrong?"
Jin replied:
• "I'm going to the Southern Sea. Will you accompany ? I've been invited by an important figure."
Clark looked at him. He knew Jin was scheming sothing, but it was good for him. The more he understood the political structure of the immortal world, the better for him.
• "Alright, let's go."
The two teleported in a flash of white light.
The Southern Sea.
In front of a palace above the sea. It wasn't a ship.
But an immortal formation—a house. A complete immortal formation floating above a sea of Qi.
It was the Sea of Qi region, known for its excellence in Qi Path resources.
And this immortal house formation was carried and made to float on the sea's surface due to the abilities of Master Shark's Den.
The two descended onto the massive marble courtyard.
Soon, the huge door opened, releasing a current of cold, calm Qi.
It was a show of Master Shark's Den's power.
Soon, a powerful master with sharp eyebrows and a majestic, handso appearance erged from the darkness. He was like a sword dominating the sky.
Beside him was his wife. She was graceful, possessing a face white as snow, slender eyebrows, and a calm, beautiful face with an elegantly sculpted body.
She wore a blue dress, and her sleeves fluttered in the air, embroidered in a way that revealed her hands, cold as ice.
• "Welco, my dear guests."
Clark imdiately returned the greeting with respect. After all, these two possessed Saint rank!!
Clark replied:
• "Greetings, Master Shark's Den and your wife. I am Zo Long. Thank you for receiving ."
Master Shark's Den replied magnanimously:
• "No, no, not at all. Master Jin's guests are my guests. Please, don't address by my title. Just call Master Gu Chang. And this is my wife, Hei Nam."
Clark clasped his hands respectfully. Soon, the two entered the magnificent palace. It had a beautiful, ornate style.
Everyone entered a spacious hall. There was a huge, luxurious table with black and gold embroidery.
Clark and Jin stood calmly, waiting for the host to sit before them. But Gu Chang laughed.
• "Sit, Master Jin, you and Zo Long."
Clark and Jin sat.
Clark noticed that Master Shark's Den addressed Jin with great respect, while he literally sidelined Clark and paid him no attention.
anwhile, Jin still had a better understanding of the immortal world's relationships than Clark.
Excellent food was served to everyone, and they began eating.
Hei Nam spoke, despite her usual silence:
• "Master Jin, tell us how the Refinent Conference is proceeding."
Jin laughed and said:
• "Madam, the Refinent Conference is proceeding splendidly. And I can tell you that victory is guaranteed. We will solve the problem together perfectly."
Expressions of joy and delight appeared on Hei Nam's face. She said:
• "I am truly happy, Master Jin. My husband and I will not forget your sincere help."
Clark didn't fully understand the matter, but he felt he should intervene to gain a favor from Master Shark's Den, who clearly possessed vast wealth and resources.
Master Shark's Den spoke:
• "Actually, Master Jin, we are looking for soone with good attainnt and understanding of the Star Path to dismantle complex immortal formations."
Clark watched calmly and didn't speak.
While Jin replied:
• "In truth, I don't have connections in that area."
Clark quickly responded:
• "I can help!!!"
Everyone looked at Clark in shock. He didn't appear to be soone who refined the Star Path.
Even Jin was shocked. How could he possess such attainnt? People toil and struggle to reach that level.
But he didn't know Clark was lying. In reality, he only had Master attainnt, nothing more.
But he could use sufficient thods. He just lacked Extre Moves from the Star Path!!!
But the Zhong Nan Sect would naturally help him!!
To be continued...
