Chapter 235: Chapter 227: The Background of the Mao Family (3/3)

The matter of the Peerless Magical Instrument was a fraud!

Recently, this news suddenly spread, the so-called Peerless Magical Instrument was nothing but a scheme by conspirators to lure martial arts experts underground for slaughter to harvest living hearts!

In recent times, there have been incidents of Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artists being killed within various countries, so such a statement was not absurd. Furthermore, a large number of Martial Artists near the Wind Fire Dead Lake confirmed that those Experts of the Open Heaven and Mountains and Rivers Realms who entered the lake seldom returned!

Instantly, the entire world was outraged, directing their anger towards that mysterious force.

This matter even alarmed a Nascent Soul Realm unsurpassed expert from the Dynasty who personally went to the scene, only to find the cave long deserted. However, experts of higher Realms possess powerful Divine Senses, and after being killed, a malign aura lingers, especially when hearts were forcefully carved out, causing an even more tangible air of resentment.

According to that Nascent Soul Realm old ancestor, the cave was filled with resentful energy, which definitely wasn’t just from ten or twenty people dying; the number was at least a hundred!

This essentially confirmed the earlier rumors!

...

"The Mao Family?" In a corner of the Wildfire Marsh, Han Yiyao showed a strong shock, furrowing her lovely brows immediately after Zhou Heng finished speaking.

"What, do you know of this family?" Zhou Heng asked.

"I do!" Han Yiyao’s face grew solemn as she gave a slight nod.

Zhou Heng felt an urge to spank her. If you know, just say it, why play coy!

"There are indeed many Familys with the surname Mao in the world, some are even quite extraordinary, but only one possesses experts of the Spirit Sea Realm!" Han Yiyao took a deep breath, "The Mao Family of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, one of the seven strongest families!"

What, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty! And also one of the seven strongest families!

Wouldn’t that mean the Mao Family has a Divine Infant Realm old ancestor in residence?

"Exactly, the Mao Family old ancestor is an unparalleled Expert of the Divine Infant Realm!" Han Yiyao nodded her head, no wonder she was being so cautious. They had disrupted the Mao Family’s plans, making them the mortal enemies of the Mao Family!

Let alone the fact that they were currently just lowly soldiers of the Mountains and Rivers and Open Heaven Realms, even if the three great household old ancestors of Bright Moon Country heard of this, they would furrow their brows, considering whether they should dissolve their families and retreat into the forests to avoid the Mao Family’s wrath!

With no Great Emperors or Heavenly Venerates of the Divinity Transformation Realm left on the entire Xuanqian Continent, the Divine Infant Realm old ancestors were the most powerful in the world, and being an enemy of the mightiest — who wouldn’t be nervous?

Luckily, neither of the two, nor the donkey, had revealed their real identities.

"Pfft, what’s there to fear about an old ghost of the Divine Infant Realm!" Black Donkey snorted.

"Stinky donkey, then conjure up a few Divine Infant Realm old ghosts for me!" Zhou Heng glared at him.

"Back in the day, Divine Infant Realm old geezers were only worthy of giving this lord a back massage, and even then, I didn’t spare them a glance!" Black Donkey spoke arrogantly.

Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao both just laughed it off, who would take a mean donkey’s nonsense seriously?

What should the two of them do next?

Previously, because of the Peerless Magical Instrument, their goals aligned, but now that it had proven to be a hoax, one would think they should each go their separate ways.

However, due to the love knot, they could not part more than a hundred paces from each other, which decided that they must stay together.

So, who would follow whom?

"Naturally, you should listen to me!" Han Yiyao was the first to speak.

"Hmph!" Zhou Heng just harrumphed.

"What do you mean by that?" Han Yiyao asked displeased.

"What he means is that women have long hair but short insight, just play nice and obedient!" Black Donkey interjected, "To speak a word of justice, women’s greatest role is to warm the bed!"

Swish, a sword light flashed by, and Han Yiyao unleashed her White Frost Sword, fiercely slashing towards the despicable donkey.

"No good deed goes unpunished!" Black Donkey cried out as it stood on its hind legs, retreating rapidly with a hundred paces using a mystic stepping technique, "Zhou, your woman is too fierce, you better train her to be more gentle. I’m going first, if we meet again, make sure she serves me tea and apologizes!"

Amidst its outrageous blabber, the despicable donkey had already gone over ten miles away.

Han Yiyao stopped in frustration, firstly because she might not actually be able to catch up, and secondly, how could she chase when Zhou Heng remained still?

"Although that donkey is despicable, it’s not wrong about one thing!" Zhou Heng said with a slight smile, looking at Han Yiyao, "You do indeed need to be taught a lesson!"

"Nonsense!" Han Yiyao was furious. No matter how it was heard, that sentence was uncomfortable.

"In the world of Martial Artists, in the end, strength reigns supreme!"

"Then let’s battle!"

The two of them engaged in fierce combat, both possessing their own strong wills, neither willing to be led by the other, striving to exert their ultimate Battle Power.

Han Yiyao was also a genius among geniuses, and thanks to a big opportunity, she was able to reach the Mountains and Rivers Realm at such a young age, thereby being handpicked by Ying Cheng’en as his not-yet-married wife.

She had the potential to be invincible in her tier!

Unfortunately, Zhou Heng was even more monstrous. He wasn’t just invincible within his Great Realm; he could battle across Great Realms!

His physique alone, comparable to a Mountains and Rivers Realm Magical Artifact, allowed him to stand unbeatable. Han Yiyao could only pose a slight threat to Zhou Heng if she used her White Frost Sword, but her lack of speed was a fatal weakness, leaving her reluctantly on the receiving end.

She was soon defeated, with nothing left to say.

In fact, Han Yiyao herself knew that she was no match for Zhou Heng. However, just a month ago she could suppress Zhou Heng with one hand, and now, in such a short period, Zhou Heng had become an existence she could only look up to. That psychological gap was enormous!

Speaking of which, she really had to admire Zhou Heng.

Although she had never witnessed Ying Cheng’en’s performance during this period of his cultivation level, she believed that he absolutely couldn’t have been as monstrously talented as Zhou Heng. If this kid had enough room to grow, his future achievements might even surpass Ying Cheng’en’s!

Hmm?

After such a thought crossed her mind, she realized that she was actually rating Zhou Heng’s potential so highly!

The loser naturally followed the winner, and after traveling together for seven days, they left the Wildfire Marsh and set off towards Cold Blue Country.

Zhou Heng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Previously, with one thing or another to distract him, although he was attracted by Han Yiyao’s body, he had managed to suppress it. But now, having left the Wildfire Marsh, all pressure dissipated. He needn’t worry about any conspiracies nor think about treasures, so his mind was naturally drawn to Han Yiyao.

This woman was truly beautiful! With a slender figure that did not appear thin, her abundant breasts, perky buttocks, and that waist that could be grasped in one hand radiated sexual allure.

Zhou Heng’s eyes shone, and he quickly tightened his mental focus. He wasn’t someone who had never seen a beautiful woman before; Mei Yixiang’s appearance and figure were no weaker, and it wasn’t like he was moved by her. So why was he unable to restrain himself around Han Yiyao in particular?

How strange!

"Have you cultivated some sort of Charming Skill?" He couldn’t help but ask in the end.

"You’re the one who cultivated a Charming Skill!" Han Yiyao became furious. Don’t think that just because his strength had grown, he could insult her!

This lecher really was incorrigible by nature!

Zhou Heng smiled helplessly. Why was it so difficult for him to get along with Han Yiyao?

As the two traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains, day and night, Zhou Heng discovered that his self-control was growing increasingly worse, constantly indulging in fantasies about Han Yiyao’s body! He felt frustrated inside, but he didn’t dare to enter the Nine Mystic Trial Tower and risk an irresponsible frolic with Xiao Huoshui and the other woman.

Therefore, he didn’t know if, after being isolated in the Treasure Pagoda’s space, he and Han Yiyao would be eliminated together by the love knot!

It was a risk he did not want to take!

There was something mysteriously alluring about Han Yiyao’s body that could only cause Zhou Heng to repress his desires, unable to dispel them, building up more and more until one day it would explode!

Indeed, because of this, Han Yiyao’s gaze towards him was also weird. She couldn’t help but sense a chill, feeling as if Zhou was like a ravenous wolf, his eyes full of a ferocity that seemed to want to devour her whole.

She had seen this kind of gaze before. When she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, some creepy uncles in her family would often look at her like that, only their gazes were even more lecherous and disgusting.

She shuddered and finally realized what Zhou Heng was thinking.

If Zhou Heng really forced himself on her... she couldn’t resist!

Such a thing must not happen.

A thought struck her, and she immediately had an idea.

"Follow me!" she said to Zhou Heng.

The two traveled together. Zhou Heng made the big decisions, but Han Yiyao could also provide some small suggestions, like where to stop for a meal or to stay for the night. So, Zhou Heng didn’t think much of it and followed her through the bustling streets.

This was a big city, and during the afternoon, the streets were very crowded.

Han Yiyao led him to an extravagantly elegant building and then said, "Go in, one hour!"

Zhou Heng looked up and immediately ground his teeth in irritation!

Spring Fragrance Pavilion, a brothel!

What did this woman mean by this?

"Oh, my lord, you’ve come so early!" A pimp immediately greeted them. He was taken aback upon seeing Han Yiyao, though. Even though her face was covered by a white veil, her figure clearly indicated she was a woman, and exceptionally sexy at that.

Bringing a woman to a brothel, what did it mean?

Weird fetish!

He probably thought it was more exciting this way!

As a pimp, he wouldn’t care about the clients’ peculiar preferences as long as they paid handsomely.

"Sir, do you have any favorites?" the pimp asked enthusiastically.

Zhou Heng suppressed his anger and instead smiled, saying, "Arrange two for me!"

Two? This lord was really vigorous. Not content with bringing one, he wanted two more!

"All right, I will make the arrangements for you right away!" The pimp made a welcoming gesture.

Zhou Heng chuckled and with a big hand, grabbed Han Yiyao’s wrist and followed the pimp.

"Let go of me! What are you doing?" Han Yiyao was so scared that she got goosebumps. She had never been in such a place before.

"Of course, we should stick together!" Zhou Heng was not about to let go, dragging her up the stairs.

Han Yiyao felt a chill down her spine. Although it was only afternoon, it was just the beginning of the day for the brothel, which was lively at night. She could see listlessly dressed women walking around, their clothing disheveled.

Her intention was to have Zhou Heng release some of his pent-up desire, so that it wouldn’t fall upon her. That’s why she searched the whole city for a brothel. But she never expected Zhou Heng to drag her in as well!

Now she really had dug a pit for herself! She was filled with regret!

Zhou Heng, you bastard! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
