Chapter 656: Chapter 19: Do it or Stop Trying [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

In the late evening, Immortal Qi Jing finally arrived at Fengya Pass.

"We’ve confirmed that the final piece of the Shenxu Ruins scroll is in Lei Ren’s hands." Chu Liang greeted him and Jiang Yuebai outside the Lei residence.

"Very well." Immortal Qi Jing gave him a nod of approval.

Despite locating the Lei Family, the most crucial credit goes to the information they’ve gathered over many years. Yet, since Chu Liang’s arrival, things became smoother.

This naturally couldn’t all be attributed to luck.

"What should we do now?" Chu Liang asked. Now that Immortal Qi Jing was present, the decision-making wasn’t on him anymore.

"Let’s directly approach him and try to keep a low profile," Qi Jing Xiaoren smiled.

As long as they confirmed who had the scroll, with his cultivation and Divine Skills, there were countless ways to acquire it.

"Then I’ll be off to let loose my good friend." Chu Liang laughed and took a temporary leave from the pair.

He previously promised the Raging Dragon Colt that he would free it when they left, now was the time.

Reaching the park where the demon beasts were housed, releasing the Raging Dragon Colt should have been a straightforward matter. However, he saw an unexpected visitor there.

Lei Family’s offering, Chen Huang, was standing there. Seeing Chu Liang suddenly approach, Chen Huang furrowed his brows, barking, "Scram!"

He was too lazy even to kill mulazim like this.

Once he’d set free all these demon beasts, he’d be able to leave.

Chu Liang hesitated slightly. Chen Huang was highly cultivated, and engaging him was sure to attract attention, even if he could eventually win. Immortal Qi Jing preferred minimal disturbance and stealth.

It would be better to see what Chen Huang was up to first.

Before he had the chance to leave, he saw Chen Gongfeng raise a hand, emitting a beam of light, unraveling the Array Rune in front of the Raging Dragon Colt.

Huh?

Chu Liang was surprised.

Could it be a friendly force?

After Chen Huang opened this area, he flew forward immediately to open the cage of another demon beast.

The Raging Dragon Colt, after being released, brought a bout of flaming heat to Chu Liang, rubbing against him affectionately.

"Hehe, I told you I’d come to get you, didn’t I?" Chu Liang stroked its mane, "You go wait for me outside on the hill, I’ll come and fetch you in a while."

Originally, he only planned to release the Raging Dragon Colt. However, Chen Huang went ahead and set free all the demon beasts in the park; his actions were even more ruthless than Chu Liang’s.

A series of demon beast’s roars resonated, and at Chu Liang’s words, the raging fire Raging Dragon Colt ran out of the Lei residence.

Whereas Chu Liang hurried to the familiar study room to check on Immortal Qi Jing’s progress.

There was a prohibition set up by Immortal Qi Jing outside the study room, preventing all light and sound from escaping. The atmosphere inside was quite harmonious.

"Senior, let’s settle this." Lei Ren was obsequious.

"Good," Immortal Qi Jing smiled, "You hand me the Shenxu Ruins scroll, and I will shelter your Lei family three times. This deal is definitely worth it for you."

"Of course," Lei Ren kept nodding.

This unfamiliar, strong cultivator of the Eighth Realm suddenly appearing in the room earlier had given him quite the scare.

The stranger had clearly come for the scroll, Lei Ren naturally denied the existence of the scroll in the Lei Family to him.

Immortal Qi Jing directly pointed out that the scroll was on his person. Seeing the stranger’s unwavering certainty meant he came prepared; Lei Ren’s resistance was entirely meaningless.

Fortunately, this strong Eighth Realm cultivator was reasonable, willing to negotiate terms for exchange.

They finally agreed on the terms that he could shelter the Lei Family three times. As long as the cultivator was alive, the Lei family would have no further crises.

As for the stranger deceiving him, Lei Ren didn’t consider it.

After all, if the stranger wanted to eliminate his family, he could do so in the blink of an eye. What does it matter if he cheated him?

Immortal Qi Jing produced three Jade Slips: "These are my tailing talismans, if your Lei family faces any threat, just crush the jade talisman, and I will rush to rescue."

"Thank you, senior!" Lei Ren hurriedly offered his gratitude, reaching out to accept them.

Qi Jing Immortal retrieved the jade talisman: "Where’s the scroll?"

"Here, here," Lei Ren took out a brocade box from his chest and gingerly opened it.

In it was indeed a piece of parchment scroll map.

Immortal Qi Jing looked at him, his eyes suddenly turning cold, "Is this scroll authentic?"

"Absolutely!" Lei Ren shouted loudly.

"Then..." Immortal Qi Jing wrinkled his nose, "Why do I smell a rank odor?"

...

Looking at the two letters in his hand, Du Wuhen fell into deep thought.

Last night he foolishly believed in a transaction, ended up rushing over for nothing. Today was even worse; two letters came at once.

Furthermore, one was set for the second watch of the night, and the other for the third watch, each scheduled apart.

Even though he held a high position as an eldest disciple of Thunder Fortress, he never experienced such popularity due to his unattractive looks.

Seeing that it was almost the second watch, he decided to take a look.

Coming again to the place where the three pines were, looking from a distance, there was a figure waiting. It looked like a woman with an alluring figure.

Du Wuhen’s footsteps quickened.

Arriving under the tree, he saw a beautiful woman, and he was slightly surprised, "You?"

He had seen her at the dinner party, she was Lei Ren’s second wife. So it was someone from Lei Family doing such things to bring loss to their own.

"Indeed, it is me," Zhuo Yuxiang gave a faint smile, "Young Hero Du, did you bring the agreed amount?"

"Where’s the goods you mentioned?" Du Wuhen asked as well.

He looked around, and there didn’t seem to be any demonic beasts in sight. But thinking about it, such a secret transaction would naturally not be carried openly.

"It’s right here." Zhuo Yuxiang handed out a brocade box.

Du Wuhen looked at it, slightly taken aback, "In there?"

This size...

Forget about stuffing a demon beast in there, even ashes wouldn’t fit, right?

Just then, there was the sound of whooshing wind from all around.

"I didn’t expect you to walk into the trap yourself, haha!" Feng Chaoyang’s voice echoed from above, "Prepare to die!"

The Heavenly King Sect members who had been hiding in this area thought that since Du Wuhen had been prepared the previous night, there was no way he would fall for it again. They were considering a new approach.

Who would have thought that this time Du Wuhen showed up unprepared again?

Confirming that there were no ambushes around, the members of the Heavenly King Sect launched their attack.

"A trap?" Du Wuhen’s eyebrows shot up, looking at the person before him with a sharp gaze.

His journey was meant to be concealed, but these people from the Heavenly King Sect had received the news, and the one who lured him out was the second wife of the Lei Family.

He instantly understood that it was the people of the Lei Family who were colluding with the Heavenly King Sect to harm him!

He immediately attacked with his sickle in hand!

First, kill the one before his eyes!

The second wife was also shocked. Although she was from the Lunar Sect, her cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the fifth realm for many years, never entering the sixth realm.

And the enraged Du Wuhen in front of her, who was at the peak of the sixth realm, attacked abruptly. How could she resist?

In her panic, the second wife could only raise her spear fingers and erect several ice walls before her. Du Wuhen, with a sweep of his sickle, broke through the ice walls and cut her down as well.

"Ah—" The second wife screamed, blood staining half her body as she attempted to escape.

Du Wuhen didn’t have time to chase after her as Feng Chaoyang’s divine light was already striking him! The two top fighters collided; no one paid attention to the escaping second wife.

The severely wounded second wife attempted to escape along the mountain path back to the Lei family for help, but she collapsed halfway due to exhaustion.

Huh..." She gasped for breath, blood rushing out.

Behind her, a figure took slow steps toward her on the mountain path. Seeing her fall, he exclaimed, "Second Madame!"

The last person Zhuo Yuxiang saw was Steward Wang Fugui from her household.

Turns out the demon beasts in the Lei Family’s gardens had escaped, leading to chaos. Those in charge of the gardens hurriedly went out to track down the beasts.

They didn’t find any beasts, but they stumbled upon their dying second Madame.

Zhuo Yuxiang tightly held the brocade box in her hand, muttering unintelligibly, "Find someone... help... help..."

Seeing her condition, Steward Wang wanted to hurry back and find help.

But just as he took a step, he hesitated.

The garden was in chaos, and many demon beasts had escaped causing an immeasurable loss. As one of the stewards, he would undoubtedly have to face severe punishment.

Losing silver coins was one thing, but there was a chance he’d be beaten half to death. The Lei Family was very strict about guarding their demon beasts. The last time, when Ah Wei lost a Demonic Bull, they beat him half to death before throwing him out.

And these days, he had been injured several times and was already on edge. The Lei Family was not kind to him.

On the other hand...

He looked at the brocade box that Zhuo Yuxiang held in her dying grip, it must be some valuable treasure.

He might as well take it all!

Steward Wang snatched the brocade box from Zhuo Yuxiang’s hands and ran. Zhuo Yuxiang’s fingers were clenched tightly; he had to step on her wrist to snatch it from her.

He couldn’t go back to the Lei Family. Once he sold this treasure, he should have enough to live a wealthy life in the countryside. Wouldn’t that be better than being a servant here, swallowing criticism?

Thinking this way, Steward Wang’s footsteps became even lighter. He turned the corner of the mountain and distanced himself from the Lei Family. He was about to open the brocade box to see what precious things were inside when he stopped.

Because he suddenly felt like his body was being covered by a shadow.

A scorching breath sprayed onto his face.

He lifted his head, only to see a towering horse face, a golden eye flickering with fire, reflecting his figure.

It was the old familiar horse.

"He...hey," Wang Fugui forced a smile, "You’re out too? I...I’m not in charge of the Lei Family anymore, you... don’t...

Boom—

An explosion sounded from behind the cliff, and a figure soared high into the sky.

Vaguely, only a single syllable echoed through the night sky.

"Ah—"
