Chapter 74 The Four Divine Servants of the Divine Palace, whose reputations are not undeserved, are truly not just empty words...
The four divine attendants of the shrine are by no means undeserving of their reputations.
Apart from Wu Chen, who was born an orphan, the Zou, Luo, and Yu families are all powerful clans in the cultivation world, with deep roots and rich heritages that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Zou Buming, Luo Heqing, and Yu Jitang are all the most outstanding disciples of their respective families in this generation. Luo Heqing is the head of two families, and although Yu Jitang always looks down on him, he knows very well that if they really fought, the two would be evenly matched, and it would be difficult to determine a winner without risking their lives.
However, Luo Heqing, who was on high alert, had his head sliced off by Zou Buming with a single, seemingly effortless sword strike.
Looking at Luo Heqing's unseeing expression, Yu Jitang touched his neck, thinking that his own expression should be similar.
The people at Zhan Yantai stirred, staring in disbelief at the scene before them. They wanted to move but dared not approach Zou Buming, seemingly unsure of how to react.
Zou Buming's expression remained perfectly calm, as if nothing had happened. He transferred his sword from his left hand to his right, looked up at Qi Wu, and said, "The Medicine King and his wife truly live up to their reputation."
Qi Wu seemed to have heard something interesting, and his expression was somewhat smug. "Zou Shenshi, have we met before? I didn't expect you to recognize me."
Zou Buming took a step forward. “When speaking to you, I really have to be careful in every way, otherwise, I don’t know which word I will reveal a flaw.”
Qi Wu "comforted" him, "You don't need to worry about it. Anyway, you won't let anyone here go. Even if you accidentally let something slip, what does it matter? Dead men tell no tales."
Zou Buming took another step forward, "You are absolutely right."
The experts surrounding Zou Buming, following his footsteps, walked menacingly toward the rest of the group.
The rogue cultivators were filled with anger and terror. One of them shouted, "Zou Buming, don't be so arrogant! Now Zhan Yantai and Jin Manlou are on our side. Your conspiracy has been exposed. Surrender now..."
Zou Buming sneered, glancing at him as if he were looking at a fool.
Someone else shouted, "This witch is with him, let's capture her first..."
Qi Wu rolled his eyes and said to Xiu Yi beside him, "Throw his body far away later. With a brain like that, I wouldn't even want it as fertilizer."
Xiu nodded, glanced at the person, and genuinely tried to memorize their face. "I've memorized it."
Qi Wu ignored the madman, gently clasped her hands together in front of her chest, maintaining a relaxed and elegant posture, like a mistress watching her children's antics, waiting for Zou Buming to approach her.
The experts brought by Zou Buming went all out, first targeting the rogue cultivators, then the experts from Zhan Yantai who had lost their leader, while Jin Manlou's people temporarily surrounded Jin Hua.
Jin Hua's expression was grim. He had understood the conversation between Qi Wu and Zou Buming. Zou Buming clearly wouldn't let anyone off the hook today, and even if he knelt down and begged Zou Buming, it would be too late. He looked across at the other side, where Wu Chen and Yu Jitang stood side by side, their expressions calm, seemingly with no intention of making a move. However, Yu Jitang was Zou Buming's adversary, meaning that Wu Chen was also Zou Buming's adversary.
Jin Hua shouted, "Witch God Servant, are you really going to just stand by and watch us die?"
Wu Chen bowed slightly in response, "Young Master Jin, they are all here for the Spirit Fruit. This fight can be considered a competition for the Spirit Fruit. But we have no intention of competing for the Spirit Fruit. It would be bad if we rashly intervened and caused a misunderstanding."
Jin Hua was so angry that he almost cursed out loud. "Even at a time like this, you can still come up with this kind of twisted logic. No one from this Divine Palace is any good."
However, his old servant, being far more cunning and adept at assessing the situation, immediately shouted, "Witch God Attendant, please don't misunderstand. Although we are curious about the Fruit of Spiritual Communication, this lady has already made it very clear. We at Jinmanlou despise such inhuman cruelty and would never do it. If anyone covets the Fruit of Spiritual Communication again in the future, we at Jinmanlou will certainly uphold justice."
Jin Hua suddenly realized, "That's right! Wu Chen's confidence clearly means he's in cahoots with this lady. Zou Buming dug a pit for the cultivators to fall into, but this lady clearly dug a pit for Zou Buming to fall into. He should be clinging to her coattails, not going after Wu Chen! But right now, directly groveling might backfire. Well, a more conservative and roundabout strategy is safer."
Jin Hua raised his voice, "Witch God Attendant, we were also deceived by the rumors spread by the Zou family. Now, after hearing what this lady has said, we know what really happened. Fortunately, thanks to this lady's reminder, we haven't caused a great disaster. Today, even if we, the people of Jin Man Lou, are torn to pieces, we will not associate with Zou Buming, that inhuman beast. If we die today, we hope that the Witch God Attendant will spread the truth. If we are lucky enough to survive, I will definitely issue a thousand gold coins. If anyone else covets the Spirit Fruit, Jin Man Lou will spare no expense to buy their head."
Yu Jitang muttered, "This rich man is so shameless, he can even say such flattering things."
Wu Chen's face was serious, but he whispered to Yu Jitang, "Is life more important, or face?"
Yu Jitang thought for a moment, "That's true."
Among the rogue cultivators and those at the Flame-Slaying Platform, there were quite a few quick-witted individuals. Jin Hua's shout immediately brought them to their senses, and they all began to curse the Zou family for their utter depravity. Their indignant and grief-stricken tones made it seem as if they were there to protect the Spirit Fruit, if one didn't know what had transpired beforehand.
Seeing the comical scene, Zou Buming laughed, took a step forward, and with a casual slash of his sword, cut a rogue cultivator in two.
The ground was covered in blood; the sight was nauseating.
The crowd quickly retreated, and no one dared to block his way.
Zou Buming walked slowly forward, casually instructing, "Hurry up, time is running out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit Tree burst into brilliant color, its brilliance dazzling within a radius of several feet, making it impossible to look directly at it. Zou Buming stopped in his tracks, staring intently ahead.
A shimmering light flowed within, the wooden egg constantly flashing with magnificent colors, all the splendor converging upon it. Once all the light was absorbed, a crack appeared on the surface of the wooden egg. Then, the egg fell directly to the ground.
Everyone saw a white arm emerge from the crack in the wooden egg.
Qi Wu pulled a piece of white gauze from his sleeve and covered the wooden egg with it.
In just a few breaths, the bulge under the white veil grew larger and larger, until finally a young girl peeked out and looked around.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and held their breath.
More accurately, they forgot to breathe.
This girl is so beautiful.
Her long, dark blue hair swayed like water plants on the surface of water, her smooth skin shimmered with a mother-of-pearl-like luster, and her eyes were deep and bright, like a tranquil lake reflecting the blue sky. She stood there, draped in white gauze, her beauty ethereal and otherworldly. For such exquisite beauty could not be found in the mortal world.
Zou Buming's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Everyone present, except for Zou Buming's subordinates, sincerely cursed the Zou family in their hearts.
How could someone so beautiful sleep with her! They're truly worse than animals!
