Chapter 680: 680

“What, you didn’t manage to catch that woman?!”

Huo Wufang’s expression was ugly . He hadn’t expected that eight Xiantian Celestials would still return having accomplished nothing .

“When we moved in, we clearly felt two auras in the room . But then somehow, the only one inside was Long San . In order to not expose our ident.i.ty, we could only immediately leave . Brother Huo, I really am sorry,” said one slender man wearing a scholar’s headband .

Huo Wufang was currently in a large room with over thirty experts . These people were all terrifying Celestials . Furthermore, they were very young, and they contained members from both the Righteous and Corrupt paths . The person who had spoken just now was from a Righteous sect .

“Hmph, your Righteous path really is undependable . You wasted brother Huo’s trust . How useless,” sneered a Corrupt Celestial .

“You…! If you have any ability, then go yourself!”

“Let it go . This matter ends here . ” Seeing the two sides were about to fight, Huo Wufang hastily stopped them . These people were all his guests .

These people came from powers that were the Huo family’s customers . The two sides had cooperated for many years now . They had helped the Huo family obtain endless resources . Since he was the future leader of the Huo family, he naturally had to nurture good relations.h.i.+ps with them .

“Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony . Now isn’t a good time to do anything . We’ll wait until after . This Long San has been repeatedly offending me, thinking that he can do so with the Fang and Chai families’ support . Hmph, once I capture his woman, I’ll definitely find her a few hundred men to satisfy . Then I’ll record it all and show him right before the finals . I want to see if he can still calmly refine pills at that time,” sneered Huo Wufang .

“Brother Huo, just leave this matter to us and we’ll handle it,” said a Corrupt Celestial . He had two swords on his back, and his eyes were extremely strange . One was completely black, while one was completely white .

“Then I’ll thank you for your trouble . Come, as my honored guests, let’s have a celebration . The fact that you could come here today means that you truly treat me as a brother . In the future, as long as I am alive, there will be no problem with your supply of medicinal pills . ”

Huo Wufang did his best to entice them . He also knew that if the Huo family truly wanted to get a firm foothold, they had to pull in more experts .

These people were the elites of the powers they belonged to . In the future, they would be the leaders of those powers . So Huo Wufang had to win them over .

But he didn’t know that while he plotted on how to s.n.a.t.c.h Long Chen’s woman, Long Chen was also thinking the same about his .

…

By the time the morning sun released its first light over the horizon, Pill Yang City was already filled with people .

Countless people were holding fresh flowers on the sides of a ten-mile-wide road, calmly waiting . Suddenly, they saw some activity as a large carriage slowly appeared .

These people all had close relations.h.i.+ps with the Huo family, and they had come from all corners of the Eastern Wasteland . Some people hadn’t even received an invitation card from the Huo family and had merely come to suck up .

But after coming here, they realized that they didn’t even have the qualifications to do that . There were too many people, and some of them came from even stronger sects than them . The only thing they could do was wave their flags and cheer .

Within the carriage was a beautiful woman . She wore a phoenix crown and a red shawl . But her eyes were icy-cold, seeming to contain endless hate and killing intent .

She was Hua Biluo . When she had been sent back to Biluo Mountain, that had counted as the end of her experience . She had received the family’s care and resources .

Her display had been exceptionally good, and she had formed a relations.h.i.+p with Long Chen, who had been the reason why the Mo family had exterminated the Yin family . In this world, there was nothing happier than having one’s mortal enemy be destroyed . As a result, she had even been given the chance to obtain a Heavenly Dao inheritance .

Unfortunately, that chance hadn’t worked out . Out of the ten spots, only one person had managed to become a Celestial, and that person hadn’t been her .

If it hadn’t been her, then that was fine . But the person who had become a Celestial was envious of her beauty, and she repeatedly suppressed her . The thing that was most difficult to accept was that this person was her older half-sister .

In this world, there was a saying that fortune never came in pairs . That perfectly described Hua Biluo’s plight . After her older sister had become a Celestial, she gradually gained authority in the family . She even had the right to join the discussion on major affairs occurring within the family .

As a result, when the news that Long Chen had fallen in the chaos region came, Hua Biluo had yet to recover from her shock when the Huo family came to propose a marriage . Her big sister had ‘helped her out’, and no matter how Hua Biluo had tried, she hadn’t been able to change her fate of being married into the Huo family .

Even when she had gone to beg her father, his response was: everything was for the big picture . One person had to sacrifice themselves for the greater good .

That made Hua Biluo’s heart turn completely cold . She now truly experienced the heartlessness of an ancient family . If she wanted the right to speak, she had to have enough power . Otherwise, no one would listen to her .

Back when she had helped Long Chen, the higher-ups had even praised her for being farsighted and having good judgment . When the Mo family had exterminated the Yin family, the family head had personally come to give her praise .

But now that Long Chen had fallen, Hua Biluo’s position had taken a devastating hit . She was actually treated as a chess piece to appease the Huo family .
