Chapter 169 Breakthrough



dark room

Zhou Mu and Lu Shan sat facing each other.

Sensing the frenzied aura emanating from his body, Zhou Mu knew that it was time for him to break through.

He was previously at the Immortal Realm, but now he has broken through again and reached the Profound Spirit Realm.

While a mere Profound Spirit Realm cultivator is nothing more than dust in the eyes of a Saint, for Zhou Mu, this represents gradual accumulation, preparing him for the day he can break through to the Saint Realm.

"You're about to break through? That's great!" Lu Shan's eyes lit up as he spoke.

He sensed Zhou Mu's increasingly violent aura and naturally understood that his spiritual power had reached its limit.

He then got up and slowly closed the door to the dark room.

"Shanzi, you can go out now. I can manage on my own. Oh, and remember, you must protect Jiang Jinyu. Nothing can happen to her."

Even now, Zhou Mu was still worried about Jiang Jinyu's safety.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan paused slightly, then nodded and said, "Alright, then be careful on your own."

After saying that, he walked out.

Upon exiting the dark room, in the corridor, they saw Feng Qitong pacing back and forth, his face full of worry, but he couldn't find anyone in the entire courtyard.

creak

The door slowly opened.

Upon seeing Lu Shan appear, Feng Qitong rushed over as if she had met a savior, anxiously saying, "Jin Yu seems to be sick, you should go and see her quickly."

"If you're sick, go see a doctor. What's the use of coming to me?"

Although Lu Shan said that, he still followed Feng Qitong away.

In a flash, he realized that it would be quite inconvenient for Feng Qitong, given his status, to go out and find a doctor, especially since the assassination attempt against him was currently underway.

Thinking of this, Lu Shan sighed helplessly.

He thought to himself, what sins has he committed? Two outsiders, Jiang Jinyu and Feng Qitong, have thrown his little place into chaos again. The key is that the assassins who have appeared are all more powerful than the last, and in the end, even his Wentian Tower can't withstand them.

The doctor went.

The final diagnosis was that nothing was wrong.

However, this made Feng Qitong very anxious. If Lu Shan hadn't stopped him, he would have almost gone up to question how someone who looked so weak could be alright.

Fortunately, Jiang Jinyu woke up at this moment and smiled weakly, "It's an old problem, you'll get used to it. It happens a few days every month."

Lu Shan misunderstood, and his face flushed red instantly.

Feng Qitong knew in his heart that Jiang Jinyu was talking about an old problem. It was all his fault. If it weren't for him, Jiang Jinyu wouldn't have acted this way. Even with the Dragon Clan's great supernatural powers, they still couldn't completely eradicate the root of the problem.

After a day of rest, Jiang Jinyu had regained some energy. Seeing Feng Qitong, who had been taking good care of her, she asked the question that had been bothering her: "Do we know each other?"

Feng Qitong's carefulness was exposed, and he felt very embarrassed. However, he still picked up the towel he had just used for a hot compress and used it to wipe Jiang Jinyu's face. After changing the water, he wiped her arms.

The way they handled it so carefully was as if they were holding some priceless treasure.

"you……"

Feng Qitong dared not speak, fearing that if she did, she would stutter and leave a bad impression on Jiang Jinyu.

Just then, Jiang Jinyu suddenly stood up and gently touched Feng Qitong's cheek with her cherry-like lips. Feng Qitong's face then turned visibly red.

"I……"

He became increasingly stuttering.

Jiang Jinyu giggled, as if she had just teased a young girl.

Looking at Feng Qitong, she became even more certain that the person before her was the Feng Qitong from her memories.

evening

Jiang Jinyu, who had spent a full day in the hospital, had finally recovered her spirits, but the fact that she couldn't stay still was incredibly boring.

You should know that even among the dragons, she can roam freely. Unless she is resting, making her stay in one place motionless for more than two hours would undoubtedly be a form of torture for her.

but.

Feng Qitong absolutely refused to let her go out, but when she asked why, she stammered and hesitated. So, she waited until late at night, after Feng Qitong had gone to rest, before sneaking out during a break.

Once outside the territory of Wentian Tower, Jiang Jinyu turned around and, seeing no one chasing after her, breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was about to use her spiritual power, she discovered that her illness had caused her spiritual power to disappear, and now she was just an ordinary person.

The Wentian Tower is hundreds of miles away from the nearest Great Wilderness City. When I had spiritual power, I could get there in the blink of an eye.

But now that he has lost his spiritual power, he can only walk step by step.

It wasn't until dawn that she finally caught a glimpse of the Great Wilderness City.

"Sigh, I'm going to have a blast today."

Jiang Jinyu put in a lot more effort.

By the time she arrived at Dahuang City, the sun was high in the sky. The aroma wafting from the stalls at the city gate attracted her. Having traveled all night, she was starving and immediately ordered several bowls of wontons. Ignoring the steaming heat, she ate them heartily.

Meanwhile, inside the Wentian Tower, when Feng Qitong slowly woke up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and he realized with a start that the sun was already high in the sky.

In a daze, he stared blankly at the surrounding walls.

This doesn't seem to be his room.

After thinking for a moment, he remembered that he was in Jiang Jinyu's boudoir, and his heart started pounding.

However, when he looked around, his expression instantly turned ugly. He clearly remembered that Jiang Jinyu was on the bed before he fell into a deep sleep.

He took a deep breath and slapped himself hard across the face.

Snap

With a crisp sound, his face turned red.

Then, I came to my senses.

"It's all over, it's all over..."

Feng Qitong didn't care about anything else at that moment. She pushed open the door and rushed outside, where she met Lu Shan at the door.

Lu Shan was eating his rice when he saw that the sun was high in the sky and the door was still closed. He assumed that they were doing important business inside and didn't want to disturb them, so he sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"You're awake. I thought..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Qitong rushed over anxiously and said, "Jinyu is missing..."

"What did you say?" Lu Shan, a proper rice eater, had just taken a bite of rice and added a few pieces of golden meat, so his speech was a little unclear.

Feng Qitong was also anxious. She raised her hand and slapped Lu Shan hard across the face. With a crisp crack, the food in Lu Shan's mouth was knocked out, mixed with some blood and foam.

Lu Shan froze, covering his face and glaring at Feng Qitong, saying angrily, "Feng Qitong, are you looking for death? Don't think I won't hit you. Let me tell you, if you piss me off, I'll..."

"Jinyu is gone, Jiang Jinyu is gone," Feng Qitong said, almost bursting into tears.
