Chapter 172 - Finally to Juedi Cliff (1/2)
After passing through a forest, Zhou Xuanji and his companions came to a lake. The water was clear, and they could see numerous fish scattering in disorder, generating waves of water ripples.
There was an island at the center of the lake. A giant tree could be seen on the island, of which the roots coiled around like a giant python. It looked ancient and as if it had persevered through the vicissitudes.
On the island, Zhao Congjian and Han Shenbo were surrounded by a group of evil cultivators, while a man in purple clothing stood on the tree branch.
It was the Little Evil Lord!
The Young Master of Haoqi Alliance!
He glanced at Zhou Xuanji and smiled, “Oh? You guys have reinforcements? No wonder you are so arrogant.”
The Three-eyed Drought Rodent hid in Zhao Congjian’s arms. It probed its head out and gnashed its teeth at the Little Evil Lord. It was so adorable even when it was angry.
The evil cultivators turned around to see.
Their attention was at once attracted by Ah Big and Small Er.
The dragon eagles circled in the air majestically. When they flapped their wings, it was as though they fanned along with the winds and lightning.
The evil cultivators’ expression changed immediately.
One of them leaped up to the Little Evil Lord and whispered, “Young master, there are two dragon eagles. Could they belong to Zhou Xuanji’s party?”
In the world now, everyone knew that Zhou Xuanji brought his numerous sword slaves along with him to adventure throughout the world.
The Little Evil Lord frowned. He looked at Zhou Xuanji and his companions and tried to identify Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji was also looking at him. “Are there any other powerful cultivators of Haoqi Alliance nearby?” He asked softly.
Daoya Old Man shook his head. “This Little Evil Lord already has the cultivation of Astral Projection. He no longer needs protection to travel around. Wouldn’t that make him a laughing stock?” He said with a smile.
No protection?
Zhou Xuanji raised his brow and said, “If so, what are we standing here for? Beat them up, then reason with them!”
Xiao Jinghong, Chongming Demon Monarch, and Beixiao Wangjian charged immediately.
Daoya Old Man shook his head and said, “You are too shameless, a classic example of fearing the powerful and bullying the weak.”
After that, he flew over and came up to the Little Evil Lord with one step.
Little Evil Lord moved instinctively, but his acupoint was sealed by Daoya Old Man. All his spirit energy was sealed and he could not move.
“I don’t fear the powerful and bully the weak; I dare to even bully the powerful.” Zhou Xuanji said,
“This old man. Although he said he’s unwilling, his body is quite obedient.”
Jiang Xue covered her smile and said, “What kind of talk is that?”
Shortly after, they and Huang Lianxin flew to the center of the lake.
The moment they landed, all the evil cultivators were defeated.
“Where’s the treasure?”
Zhou Xuanji asked. He did not even look at the Little Evil Lord.
Haoqi Alliance was pursuing him for his life. How could he fear the Little Evil Lord?
It was his benevolence to not kill the Little Evil Lord on the spot.
Han Shenbo immediately took out a Ganoderma that was the size of a water tub. The colorful Ganoderma was emanating a visible spiritual Qi.
“Such a beautiful Ganoderma… Is it poisonous?”
Jiang Xue asked softly as she blinked.
“It’s not poisonous,” Daoya Old Man said with a smile, “It’s an excellent medicinal material.”
The Three-eyed Drought Rodent jumped out from Zhao Congjian’s arms onto Zhou Xuanji’s shoulder. It appeared to be joyous.
It still loved to stay with Zhou Xuanji because it was much more comfortable.
The Little Evil Lord stood on the tree branch motionlessly. His entire body was stiff.
His eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Oh no…
Now that he encountered Sword God Zhou, could he still live?
He could not help but remember Xu Xianxuan. He had yet to kiss the most beautiful woman in Great Shang, and now he was going to die. He loathed the situation!
He had yet to take over as the Chief of Haoqi Alliance. He had yet to reign over the world.
He had too many regrets!
He wasn’t willing to give up just like that!
Zhou Xuanji suddenly looked at him, and he avoided eye contact out of fear. Cold sweat covered his forehead.
