“I haven’t experienced it, so I won’t comment.”
“I heard this person has some connection with that one from eight hundred years ago…”
“Mentor and disciple, right? That’s what I heard too, but what I’m more curious about is, that person has been alive for eight hundred years, could their strength really not have declined?”
“Declined? Look at the Sword God of the North Continent, does he dare to claim he’s the best in the world now? Do you know why he doesn’t dare change his title? It’s because the one from eight hundred years ago was too powerful!”
“Can someone really live for eight hundred years?”
“Ordinary people definitely can’t… but what if the other party’s Transcendence is longevity?”
“Then how do you explain her swordsmanship?”
“Talent, of course. What else could it be… given eight hundred years, even if you were a pig, you could train to become an expert!”
“If you’re talking about a common expert, I believe you, but for an unmatched expert, if there’s no talent involved, no amount of time is useful.”
Suddenly, someone turned to Wang Hewei and said, “Bro Wang, I heard you got a Treasure a while back?”
Many people turned to look at Wang Hewei.
Wang Hewei waved his hand modestly, but his proud smile was hard to hide: “It’s not really anything special. You know how I like to grow some plants, I just happened to acquire a Spiritual Energy Field Meter from outside…”
“Can people cultivate inside it?” someone asked curiously.
Everyone was very interested as well.
Wang Hewei shook his head: “I’ve tried, but it doesn’t work. After all, humans are different from plants…”
He took it out from his embrace.
Once activated, everyone’s initially skeptical expressions changed to ones of regret.
Pei Jinye, however, seemed to be deep in thought.
Clearly… it can be used for cultivating spiritual power, right?
Why haven’t these people noticed at all?
…
A group of people on the third floor were discussing something.
Big Wild Goose Pagoda’s downstairs hall.
Suddenly, a woman wearing High-top Combat Boots and a leather jacket strode in, her features fierce: “Search!”
She was followed by Group Three of the Investigation Team, dozens of members, their gazes just as chilling as they swept around.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda could be said to be the richest tavern in the region.
If they were to raid it, everyone could make a hefty profit today.
Of course, they wouldn’t dare to carry out such a high-profile search on a normal day; they only dared to take action today because of their leader, Group Leader Zou.
“A search?” The owner of Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Chu Wenhuan, changed expressions slightly: “Group Leader Zou, if this is a routine inspection, please try not to disturb my customers.”
Chu Wenhuan was an outsider, but ever since he arrived in Dawn City a few years ago and opened Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he had made a big name for himself.
However, he was just an ordinary person.
“You don’t yet have the qualifications to negotiate with me. Don’t obstruct my official duties, move aside!” Zou Qingqing stared coldly at Chu Wenhuan, her intimidating presence overwhelming.
“Search!”
No one knew what had happened just now, but this young mistress’s temper was explosive at the moment.
“You!” Chu Wenhuan trembled with anger.
In all the years he had struggled in Dawn City, he had never been subjected to such humiliation.
His thoughts shifted.
He calmed himself down and said coldly:
“Group Leader Zou, I run a clean business and haven’t blocked anyone’s fortune. You humiliate my Big Wild Goose Pagoda in broad daylight like this; do you really think you can dominate Dawn City all by yourself?”
“Are you threatening me?” Zou Qingqing glared fiercely, and in the next moment her whip lashed onto the floor tiles in front of Chu Wenhuan, blasting them apart.
Chu Wenhuan’s eyelids twitched, feeling a burning pain on his face.
Immediately, the anger in his heart was quenched as if doused by a bucket of cold water, swiftly suppressed.
Feeling powerless, he stood there, watching as Zou Qingqing’s subordinates rushed in.
He had no choice.
He was just an ordinary person.
If he truly obstructed official duties, Zou Qingqing could kill him on the spot and get away with it.
The strong dictate the situation, such is the sorrow of the weak.
“Group Leader Zou, Wang Hewei from your team and I know each other, we’re acquaintances. I wonder if you could give me some face…” Chu Wenhuan’s voice softened.
“Wang Hewei? He’s nothing.” Zou Qingqing’s expression was cold, “Search thoroughly, if anyone dares to obstruct, treat them as rebels and accomplices, arrest them all.”
A group of Investigation Team members charged ahead, beginning the search.
But within minutes, an angry rebuke came from inside one of the private rooms.
“Who is it, get out! Do you know who I am!”
Chu Wenhuan’s expression changed, it was his son.
He turned and was about to rush over.
But instantly, a whip landed in front of him, the heat from the whip’s breeze causing Chu Wenhuan to halt abruptly.
“If you dare to move, I’ll treat you as a suspect and deal with you accordingly.”
Chu Wenhuan’s fists clenched tightly: “Group Leader Zou, I’m just worried about my son… can’t I go and check, is there a problem with that?”
“I said, stand still and don’t move; don’t make me repeat it a third time!” Zou Qingqing’s face was ice-cold, her tone growing more impatient.
“Group Leader Zou…” Chu Wenhuan was truly worried.
But just as he spoke, Zou Qingqing’s whip lashed out.
“Group Leader Zou, spare him under your whip!” Wang Hewei rushed over, pulled Chu Wenhuan back, and the explosion of air from the whip that struck in front of him tore through his clothes, leaving a large rip.
But Zou Qingqing showed no mercy, and her whip lashed down fiercely.
Wang Hewei’s expression changed, and as he suddenly swung his steel knife, he managed to block the whip’s momentum. However, the tail of the whip still struck him…
With a muffled sound, blood trickled from the corner of Wang Hewei’s mouth. He looked up with a pale face: “Group Leader Zou, must you be so aggressive?”
