Chapter 125: Two Options

Originally, most people in the Chu royal city assumed that the youth named Zhou Donghuang might not be stronger than the two Petty Consummation demon golden-crowned eagles in terms of ability, but had subdued them using some other methods.

Now that Xiao Jiancheng from the imperial court of Yunyang had been defeated in the Chu royal city, one thing was clear to the people of the Chu royal city: That youth’s ability was actually greater than that of the two golden-crowned eagles!

The two golden-crowned eagles would not have been able to kill Xiao Jiancheng from the imperial court of Yunyang even if they joined forces.

The youth had proven his ability in this battle.

Of course, even though it was well-known in the Chu royal city that the youth had killed Xiao Jiancheng, very few knew that he had been killed in one attack by the youth…

Killing an opponent in one attack and managing to kill an opponent only after using every ounce of effort were two completely different things.

How could it be? That little swine, how could he have such incredible ability?

When Patriarch Yang Yunji of the grand Yang family heard that Zhou Donghuang had killed Xiao Jiancheng, his mood seemed to fall from heaven straight down to hell, and he was so exasperated that he almost vomited blood.

When the patriarch of the tycoon Tang family received the news, he heaved a sigh of relief with even as shock was written all over his face. Seems that I was worried for nothing… I never imagined that Young Master Donghuang had such ability.

That’s why he was not bothered when I got the young mistress of the Ren family to warn him… he never was afraid of the imperial court of Yunyang in the first place!

This time, by killing the Petty Consummation flying demon Cloud Condor of the imperial court, he has nothing else to worry about in the imperial court of Yunyang.

Unless… the Connate stage adept that the imperial court of Yunyang could possibly have is proficient in the use of bows.

After all, even if the imperial court of Yunyang has a Connate stage adept, he will only be an ordinary Connate stage adept at most. At that level, he will not be able to do anything to Young Master Donghuang unless he is proficient in the use of bows.

Therefore, even if the imperial court of Yunyang has a Connate stage adept, he might not be able to strike against Young Master Donghuang easily… after all, Young Master Donghuang could order the two golden-crowned eagles to go to the imperial palace and slaughter everyone there when the Connate stage adept is trying to deal with him!

This thought put Tang Liunian completely at ease.

That youth was the benefactor who saved his life and also the benefactor who saved the Tang family, and he naturally hoped that no harm would befall him.

He was happy with the status quo.

Now, the only thing to be worried about was… the imperial court of Yunyang could very well feel that they cannot tolerate Young Master Donghuang and offer some benefits in return for the Connate stage adepts of the Valley of the Medicine Masters to take action.

At this thought, Tang Liunian could not help but be slightly worried. In the Valley of the Medicine Masters, there were numerous Connate stage adepts… and there were definitely Connate stage adepts who were proficient with the bow.

Moreover, in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, there were even Connate stage adepts so powerful that they could kill those two golden-crowned eagles even though they were not proficient with the bow!

Besides that, in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, there was supposedly a Connate stage flying demon!

The more Tang Liunian thought, the more worried he became.

Now, I just hope… that the imperial court of Yunyang will be so concerned about its reputation that it will not be willing to seek help from the Valley of the Medicine Masters just to deal with a youth.

Tang Liunian prayed in his heart.

…

The Chu royal family.

After returning from Chuxiu Inn, the Chu king Xiang Xiong gave orders, mobilizing every ounce of the Chu royal family’s resources to secure all the valuable herbs that the youth needed.

After all, that youth had only given him three months.

“Your Majesty… is there really no other way to deal with him?”

The royal consort, Fan Ji, had an expression of indignation on her face ever since Xiang Xiong had returned from Chuxiu Inn.

She had expected that the person sent by the imperial court of Yunyang would be able to help her avenge the ocean of blood from when her Fan family was wiped out.

She did not expect that he would be killed by the youth.

“My dear,” Xiang Xiong sighed. “That youth is not someone the Chu royal family can deal with… and moreover since the imperial court has already sent someone over, the Chu royal family can no longer pursue this issue.”

Now, Xiang Xiong was truly afraid.

Although that youth was not a Connate stage adept, he gave the impression that he was even more fearsome than an average Connate stage adept.

At least, the small metal sphere that could transform into a sword that the youth possessed was not something that he could comprehend. If I’m not wrong… that small metal sphere is a treasure that a magnificent practitioner of the Primal Core stage left behind!

With a treasure left behind by a magnificent practitioner, an average Connate stage adept would not be able to oppose that youth even though he had not yet attained the Connate stage.

However, although Xiang Xiong obviously did not dare to mess with the youth again, he had already sent a messenger to the imperial city at top speed to report the news of Xiao Jiancheng and the Cloud Condor’s death to the imperial court of Yunyang.

The news had already begun to spread, and if the Chu royal family had not reported it by the time it reached the ears of the imperial court, the imperial court would show no mercy to the Chu royal family.
