314 Lying in Wai (2/2)

”Zhou Donghuang, thank you for choosing to appear at this galaxy teleporter near the Lightning Sword Sect... Your life is worth as much as a Divine Transformation drug! After this, if I manage to enter the Divine Transformation stage after consuming a Divine Transformation drug, I'll really have to thank you for it.”

Wu Qian once again glanced at Zhou Donghuang, and this time, he smiled evilly and made his Primordial Soul Power step forward. Its giant fist reached out for Zhou Donghuang.

After hearing this, it was clear that Emperor Qi had offered up the reward of a Divine Transformation drug in return for Zhou Donghuang's head.

Divine Transformation drugs could help those who were close to crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage successfully close the gap. It was extremely precious, and even the entire Qi Dynasty only had less than five of such drugs. The fact that the Qi Dynasty was willing to use one of these five drugs as a reward for finding Zhou Donghuang meant that they greatly prioritized this matter.

”Roar!”

At almost the same time Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power reached out to attack Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang's body also materialized a giant Primordial Soul Power behind him. This was a white tiger, and it let out a roar that shook the land and skies. This terrifying sound washed over everyone and caused waves of vibrations that forced Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power to retreat a little.

”How can this be!?”

Once Zhou Donghuang's Primordial Soul Power appeared, it scared Wu Qian till his nostrils flared and his facial expression changed. ”You... How can you be an ultimate Primordial Soul adept too!?”

”Nothing is impossible,” Zhou Donghuang replied impassively.

At the same time, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action and rushed towards Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power. Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power was unable to defend itself or back away, and the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power managed to scratch at it. Within an instant, as if a giant cage had landed and trapped Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power, it was broken and greatly damaged.

”Wah...!”

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wu Qian's face turned as white as a sheet of paper. His eyes and facial expression were full of shock.

”How can this be? As an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, how could you have such great powers?”

”Like I said... Nothing is impossible.”

Zhou Donghuang spoke again, and his voice rang out like a gong. Within an instant, under his command, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action again.

”Zhou Donghuang, spare my life! If you do so, I'm willing to become your most humble servant!”

By now, Wu Qian was badly injured, and he was unable to resist Zhou Donghuang's further attacks. Although he was doubtful, he still chose to bow down. His body trembled visibly as he spoke these beseeching words to Zhou Donghuang.

However, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power's attack did not seem to stop.

The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power reached out a claw and hit Wu Qian to the ground, where he was forced into a bed of soil and pushed underground.

Whoosh!

The black puppy on Zhou Donghuang's shoulder shot forward and snatched up Wu Qian's space ring like a hungry gold digger. Before it left, it even took a bite of Wu Qian's corpse.

”Old fellow, with such looks, you want to act like a dog? You are an embarrassment to us, what an idiot!”

Afterwards, the black puppy returned to Zhou Donghuang's shoulder, and he coyly passed the space ring that he had collected to Zhou Donghuang. ”Boss, in any case, this old man was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept. The things he stored in the space ring are probably useful for you.

”As for the items that are worthless to you, I can eat them! You can give them to me!”

After saying these words, the black puppy salivated at the thought of food.

”You can hold on to it first,” Zhou Donghuang said. The black puppy excitedly put the space ring into the collar that was around its neck. More accurately, it was within an empty stone that was embedded onto the collar.

This collar had been handmade for the black puppy by Zhou Donghuang, and it was a manufactured spirit weapon. On the collar, he had attached two space stones which could be used as storage spaces for the puppy's items.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang had left with the black puppy...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shadows appeared at the venue where the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect had been destroyed. If Zhou Donghuang were here, he would immediately recognize with a single glance that one of these two figures was no ordinary man. This was the Thunder Knife Sect Leader, Luo Yuanqiu.

However, Luo Yuanqiu now glanced at the corpse buried underground with chills running down his spine.

”Who could have taken action against him... I did not expect Wu Qian of the Qi Dynasty to die such a violent death!

”Could it be that the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, had taken action? After all, out of the three Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect, only he managed to survive... Furthermore, if someone were to be able to kill Wu Qian, an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, so easily before we arrived, he would have to at least be at the Divine Transformation stage!” the old man beside Luo Yuanqiu guessed aloud.

”That's impossible!” Luo Yuanqiu shook his head.

”As far as I know, although He Jin did in fact manage to survive, he won't stay alive for long... he was poisoned by a man from the Qi Dynasty, and now he is just waiting for his death!”

This man of the Qi Dynasty was a Divine Transformation adept who specialized in using poison. He had trained himself to attack using poison and could infect any adept at the Divine Transformation stage and below.

”If this was not He Jin's doing, then who could it be?”

The old man's eyes shone with suspicion and doubt.

”I'm not sure either.” Luo Yuanqiu smiled bitterly.

”However, since we have discovered that a servant of the Qi Dynasty has died here... Although it was not our doing, we had best inform the Qi Dynasty since it was us who discovered it... They can investigate this matter themselves.”

Previously, before this Qi Dynasty servant had arrived at the Thunder Knife Sect's galaxy teleporter to lie in wait for Zhou Donghuang, he had first paid a visit to the Thunder Knife Sect to greet the Thunder Knife Sect Leader. He had requested for the Sect Leader to accompany him on his mission. At that point, Luo Yuanqiu did not disagree as he was deeply fearful of offending the Qi Dynasty.
