314 Lying in Wai (1/2)

The Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy.

A galaxy teleporter was situated near the Thunder Knife Sect, and this was the designated teleporter for the sect.

Near the galaxy teleporter, there was an old and wrinkled man sitting cross-legged on the floor. His eyes were shut tightly, although one was unclear as to whether he was training or meditating.

Behind the old man, a middle-aged man and teenage boy were present as well. One of them was sleeping soundly, while the other was closely observing the galaxy teleporter before him. He only blinked once in a while, as if he was afraid to miss something.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the galaxy teleporter produced a figure out nowhere like a sudden gust of wind.

The figure was a handsome young man wearing pure white clothes. On the young man's shoulder was a black puppy, and this black puppy looked like a typical stray black dog on the streets. However, if one observed this dog carefully, one would realize that this dog had a single horn on its forehead, and it looked extraordinary.

”Zhou Donghuang!”

The teenage boy who was keenly staring at the galaxy teleporter instantly narrowed his eyes as the white-clothed man appeared. He turned to the old man, who was still sitting cross-legged on the floor. With an urgent tone, he yelled, ”Sir Wu Qian, it's Zhou Donghuang!”

”Hm?”

Zhou Donghuang, who had just passed through the galaxy teleporter and arrived at his destination, sensed someone watching him from afar, and he looked in this figure's direction. As he turned, he immediately heard the owner of the voice yell out, catching his attention. Zhou Donghuang began to sense that something was not right, and his face changed slightly.

Within the next instant, his entire body shook and shot into the sky like a white bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the old man who was still sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes shut now opened his eyes. He was also holding on to a piece of jade.

Boom!

Crash!

...

Not far away, the galaxy teleporter that was originally working was instantly enveloped by a frighteningly strong force. It was fried to dust and ashes that filled the entire sky, being reduced to almost nothing. There was almost no trace left of the once huge and towering galaxy teleporter.

”That is Zhou Donghuang?” the old man glanced steely at the white figure in the distance and asked in a low voice.

”Sir Wu Qian, that's him!” the teenage boy behind the old man replied in affirmation.

As for the middle-aged man, who had at some point opened his eyes, he spoke up as well.

”Sir Wu Qian, he is the disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley, Zhou Donghuang.”

”They...”

”Who are you?”

Zhou Donghuang glanced steely at the old man. He was suspicious of the three figures, which included two people of the Lightning Sword Sect, who had been lying in wait for him here.

”I am Wu Qian, a servant of the Qi Dynasty.”

The old man looked passively at Zhou Donghuang as if he were staring at a dead man.

”If you could get me, Wu Qian, to lie in wait here for almost a month for you to appear, even if you die today, then that is already considered an honor.”

Seconds after he had spoken, a towering Primordial Soul Power appeared behind Wu Qian, looking like a giant. This Primordial Soul Power towered above Zhou Donghuang.

”Ultimate Primordial Soul stage?”

Faced with the emergence of this Primordial Soul Power, which demonstrated that Wu Qian was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, Zhou Donghuang appeared indifferent. His gaze turned to the two figures standing behind the old man. ”Are you both disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect? Why are you both here? Did something happen to the Lightning Sword Sect?”

”Let me answer that.” Before the two disciples could speak, Wu Qian had already spoken up coldly.

”The Lightning Sword Sect was exterminated a month ago by the Qi Dynasty. These two disciples are here because they were kept alive by the Qi Dynasty for them to help us identify you.

”Now, they have already helped me to identify that you are Zhou Donghuang. They are of no use to me now, and it is time for them to join the rest of the deceased members of the Lightning Sword Sect.”

Once the old man had spoken, the two figures behind him both turned pale. ”Sir Wu Qian, did you not promise that if we helped you identify Zhou Donghuang that you would spare our lives?”

”Sir Wu Qian, you... you cannot go back on your word!”

Just as the two figures were begging for their lives, Wu Qian had already taken action, and the giant Primordial Soul Power trapped the two like animals in a cage. With great force, it clammed down on the two, and before their reflexes could kick in, it smashed them dead!

Zhou Donghuang was nearby, and he watched this solemnly.

Faced with the death of the two betrayers, he had no sympathy for them at all.

Now, his face no longer had on his usual peaceful expression. It was dark, and his eyes glittered with rage and murderous intent... In the end, his troubling guess had been right.

The Lightning Sword Sect really had met with trouble.

Indeed, it had been the Qi Dynasty, one of the Hengliu galaxy's two Transcendental Forces, that had caused harm to the Lightning Sword Sect!
