Chapter 66: Zhang Zhongchangs Proposal (1/2)
The others cultivators started to lose their will when they saw even Zhang Zhongchang couldn't do a thing to approach the treasure.
Just before they turned back and left, the light from the direction of the lake receded, and space trembled. Whatever the thing that barred them from moving forward had finally disappeared.
Smile coming back on the cultivators' faces, and, led by Zhang Zhongchang, they rushed toward the treasure's location.

”Snowy, we finally did it! My father will recover soon!” exclaim Feng Xue ecstatically.
”Un. Let's head back, so we can treat your father sooner,” replied Snowy.
”Aah~, I finally get out from this place~,” said Rong Hua while her nose wiggled in joy.
Feng Xue squinted her eyes and sternly warned Rong Hua, ”Little rabbit, you must behave if you want to follow us, you understand?”
”Okey, dokey~ I'm always a good a girl and ”definitely not a troublemaker” is my moniker. Don't worry!” said Rong Hua lightly.
Feng Xue sighed helplessly. She could already picture a future full of trouble because of a certain white bunny.
”Let's go, Xue, Rong Hua,” urged Snowy.
”Okay!”
Feng Xue summoned her flying sword right away and helped Snowy climbed and stood behind her. Meanwhile, Rong Hua sat lazily on Snowy's head.
Actually, with Rong Hua's help, they could instantly teleport back to Phoenix City.
But, because it was the first time she left the Blackwood Forest, Rong Hua requested that they used the usual method instead.
She wanted to leisurely travel while enjoying the scenic view of the outside world.
When they about to take off, a sudden voice interrupted them.
”Young lady, don't rush to leave!”
Snowy looked at a group of people that quickly approached them. They seemed to be the cultivators who usually hunt spirit beasts and gather spirit medicine within the forest. It was understandable that the dazzling light attracted them during Nine-Petal Lotus blooming time.
She then looked at the middle-aged man who told them to stop.
'He looks as powerful as Lin Ming. But the man beside him is quite strong.'
Snowy stared at the middle-aged man and his company vigilantly while made a mental note to keep her eyes on the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator beside the man.
”What do you want?” said Feng Xue with a voice as clear and cold as a block of ice.
”Oh, where's my manner,” Zhang Zhongchang realized that Snowy and Feng Xue must be startled by their sudden appearance. He wore his warmest smile and spoke to them softly, ”My name is Zhang Zhongchang, Chief of the Eastern Star Chamber of Commerce's branch in Central Area. I just want to ask the two young ladies how long you've been here.”
