Chapter 194 - Descendant Of The Jiang Clan (1/2)

“No matter how many powerful enemies there are, Sword God Zhou will still dare to come!” Zhao Congjian said coldly. Hearing this, the dandy in front of them nodded.

Seeing that the majority were on Sword God Zhou’s side, the big man did not say anything else and only shook his head as he chuckled. From how he saw it, Sword God Zhou was placed on too high of a pedestal.

He would have a terrible fall sooner or later!

Jiang Xue curled her lip as she said in a low voice, “Looks like there are many people admiring you.”

Among the thousands of people, most of the discussions were about how powerful Sword God Zhou was.

Zhou Xuanji chuckled, not expressing his opinion.

Inwardly, he felt quite amazed—he had just done a few things; were these things worth worshipping him over?

These people were so strange.

There were no phones, computers, or internet in the Northern Wilderness, so how did the news spread even faster than on earth? He had just casually done some things, and yet news always spread so quickly.

As the saying went, people were afraid of becoming famous like pigs were afraid of fattening up.

Only after two hours were Zhou Xuanji and his group able to pass through the border.

They had all used fake names. As long as they gave enough spirit stones, soldiers at borders would not stop them. This was the unwritten rule of each Kingdom.

The soldiers could not stop experts and there was no point in stopping weaklings from entering, so they might as well have gotten some money out of it.

After entering Great Zhou, the group did not travel too quickly, because there was still some time before the ascension.

“There are so many people. Emperor Yan of Zhou really knows how to boost interest,” Daoya Old Man said in amazement. Looking around, there were people everywhere, and they were all traveling toward the Royal City.

Emperor Yan of Zhou had announced his ascension three years in advance and had arranged for a marriage alliance with the Hanyin Divine Sect. He had then allied with Great Shang, and had even announced news of Lin Guanyu’s arrival. This made Great Zhou the most often discussed Kingdom in the Northern Wilderness.

It seemed like business as usual for the Great Zhou, but there were many intentions behind all of this.

Xiao Jinghong nodded. “Perhaps he also wants to intimidate Revered Teacher, making it so that Revered Teacher does not dare to come.”

Daoya Old Man gave a smile that did not seem like a smile and said, “That may not necessarily be the case.”

Xiao Jinghong felt quite surprised and questioned him closely, but the old man only smiled as he shook his head, not saying any more.

Zhou Xuanji was very much at ease. After all, he had experienced many intense battles before, and his mental state was quite extraordinary.

They came closer and closer to Great Zhou’s Royal City, and Zhou Xuanji could not help but think back to his younger days living inside Great Zhou’s Palace.

Back then, the people who had spent the most time with him were palace maids and wet nurses.

He shook his head and smiled, not thinking about it anymore.

The day that Emperor Yan of Zhou ascended, he would definitely make a great commotion and turn the world on its head.

Three days later, the group was resting beside a lake. Chongming Demon Monarch was using the little black snake like a whip, thrashing it about under the pretext that he was helping it strengthen its body.

“Old cow, didn’t you eat breakfast? You seem so weak,” the little black snake sarcastically called out.

Hearing this, Chongming Demon Monarch forcefully slammed it against the ground, causing the ground to crack.

The little black snake fainted, and blood leaked out of his lips, making it seem as if he had died.

Zhou Xuanji glared at him and asked, “Are you trying to kill him?”

Chongming Demon Monarch hurriedly let go of the little black snake and said, sounding quite wronged, “He was goading me to use more strength…”

He had been gentle enough earlier; it was that fellow who was seeking death.

The others gathered over and chided Chongming Demon Monarch, adding salt to the wound, and causing him to hate the little black snake even more.

Daoya Old Man stood beside the lake, continuously pinching the fingers on his right hand together as he calculated something.

“Strange… Why has Great Zhou’s fate been obscured? Something’s off, something’s off.” He muttered to himself, seeming quite vexed.

At that moment, he noticed a figure walking out of the forest opposite the lake.

It was a demon.

He had the body of a tiger and the face of a human. His body was covered with white fur and he looked like a young boy.

Seeing Daoya Old Man, he opened his mouth and said something.

Daoya Old Man’s expression fell and he deeply furrowed his brows.

“Chongming, capture him.” At that moment, Zhou Xuanji’s voice sounded from behind him. Following this, Chongming Demon Monarch turned into a black blur and rushed towards the demon.
