Chapter 191 - Astral Projection Stage, Frost King Sword (1/2)

Facing Lin Guanyu’s rude words, Emperor Yan of Zhou was expressionless.

He had not been able to deal with this brother-in-law of his this whole time.

It was because of Lin Guanyu and Merciful Melody Cliff that the Great Zhou’s Empress was able to act so arrogantly and wilfully, causing his harem to be so unpeaceful.

“What matter does Brother Lin have in Great Zhou?” Emperor Yan of Zhou asked calmly. This fellow had directly charged into the Great Zhou Palace and hadn’t taken him seriously at all.

He had to get rid of Lin Guanyu before he ascended.

“Zhou Xuanji will definitely come on the day of your ascension. When that time comes, I will kill him in Great Zhou,” Lin Guanyu said coldly. He was not afraid of offending Emperor Yan of Zhou at all.

Hearing this, the Ministers and Generals were sent into an uproar.

Was Zhou Xuanji going to come?

Xitan Changshi frowned as he asked, “Why will he come?”

Lin Guanyu pointed at Zhou Yalong and said, “Zhou Xuanji has a maidservant whose clan was slaughtered by Zhou Yalong. Out of the entire city of tens of thousands of people, only she survived.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions worsened, including Emperor Yan of Zhou’s.

Zhou Yalong’s eyes were wide as he hurriedly explained, “I killed people from the Ghost Emperor Clan, the descendants of Xinhao Sect’s Huang Ming. Apart from that, I’ve never committed a slaughter in a city before.”

Despite this, everyone continued to look at him with strange gazes.

This matter of slaughtering in a city was simply deranged.

If this kind of person became the Emperor, what kind of outrageous atrocities would he commit?

However, apart from Zhou Yalong, there was no one who could become the Emperor.

“You can reside in Great Zhou for now,” said Emperor Yan of Zhou. He did not look at Zhou Yalong and kept his gaze on Lin Guanyu.

Lin Guanyu gave a slight nod and stared back at Emperor Yan of Zhou, a trace of killing intent hidden in his eyes.

…

Beside the lake.

“Breathe fire!” Zhou Xuanji crossed his arms as he ordered.

The red Qilin standing on his shoulder stretched its head forwards and burped, sending out a puff of smoke.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanji looked quite disdainful as he asked, “Why are you so weak?”

The red Qilin looked quite wronged and covered its head with its paws.

Daoya Old Man called out from the distance, “It was born only recently; don’t push it too much. When you were young, did anyone push you like this?”

Zhou Xuanji shot him a glance and replied, “I killed an Inner Pellet demonic cultivator when I was two years old; what do you think?”

Daoya Old Man was startled and did not know how to reply.

You win this time, boy!

Zhou Xuanji continued to train the red Qilin, and only let it off after an hour or so.

The little fellow felt quite aggrieved and ran to play with the Three-eyed Drought Rodent.

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and smiled before looking toward the horizon, and his thoughts floated to Great Zhou.

After thinking for a while, he continued to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, one month passed, and Zhou Xuanji started to break through to the Astral Projection stage.

Everyone gathered over, holding their breath in anticipation.

“Once Revered Teacher breaks through to Astral Projection, he will become like a dragon soaring in the sky and he will be able to sweep across the world,” Xiao Jinghong said in worship. In the future, when they ran into the Xinhao Sect or Haoqi Alliance, they would no longer have to be worried.

The others nodded.

Daoya Old Man stroked his beard and said, “When he breaks through to Astral Projection, perhaps he will be able to enter the top 50 of the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100. When he breaks through to Great Realization, he will definitely be number one in the world.”

After saying this, he sighed with amazement.

This little monster—even though they saw Zhou Xuanji every day, whenever they thought about his talent and strength, they could not help but marvel.

Zhou Xuanji sat beside the lake, and waves of spirit energy flowed into his body.

Currently, he was examining the inside of his body.

For the Astral Projection stage, one had to open their nine acupoints and be able to project their Astral Spirit.

If one could project their Astral Spirit, it would be able to absorb spirit energy and become stronger.
