"Senior Lu, are you taking a break today too?"
Seeing Lu Qing put up a sign saying the store was closed for rest, the owner of a pill shop opposite asked with a smile.
"Yeah, after working hard for a month, we need to take a break." Lu Qing said with a smile.
This time in Zhoutian City, he used the pseudonym "Lu An".
"Senior Lu, you are more open-minded. We dare not rest. The rent and taxes in Zhoutian City are not cheap." The owner of the medicine shop said helplessly.
At the same time, he was a little envious of Lu Qing. Although he had only opened the shop here for a short time, his business had been gradually getting better in recent months.
It is almost surpassing his old store which has been in business for more than ten years.
Fortunately, the other party only sold magic weapons and artifacts, which did not conflict with him.
On the contrary, due to the increase in customer flow, his medicine shop also benefited from it and business was better.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to balance work and rest. I'm going to go out first, you go ahead."
Looking at Lu Qing leaving, the owner of the medicine shop could only look at him with envy, but he was not surprised.
This weapon refiner, who has been here for almost half a year, closes his shop on the 15th of every month. They are all used to it.
After leaving his shop, Lu Qing wandered around and when he saw something delicious he wanted to eat, he would stop to taste it.
Around noon, he went into a hidden corner, and when he came out, he had changed his appearance again.
With Lu Qing's current understanding of the outer city of Zhoutian City, no one could notice this abnormality.
After changing his appearance, Lu Qing walked towards Mengyun Tower.
Not long after, looking at the luxurious and extravagant Mengyun Building, Lu Qing did not go in. Instead, he went to a restaurant opposite it, sat by the window upstairs, ordered a table of food and wine, and slowly started eating and drinking.
As for the Mengyun Building opposite, it no longer had the bustle of the past and became quiet.
There was a suppressed and uneasy atmosphere coming from inside.
None of the wealthy and powerful children or Jindan cultivators who usually liked to go in to seek pleasure dared to show up.
Even the nearby streets were unusually quiet, and no one dared to make loud noises.
Because everyone knows that today is the day when the ancestor Gongshujia travels once every six months.
The old ancestor hated it most when someone made noise and disturbed his enjoyment. Once, someone tried to do so without knowing the consequences, and ended up in a miserable state.
Those who witnessed that scene still feel a chill in their hearts when they think of it now.
However, although no one dared to make a noise, many people were still paying attention to what was happening here.
In the restaurant where Lu Qing was staying, there were a few curious people who were talking in low voices with excitement and anticipation.
"Tell me, how many women will that Gongshu Patriarch kill this time?"
“It is said that Mengyunlou has prepared a lot of good stuff in advance for the old ancestor to enjoy.”
"Of course not! They must all be top-notch beauties!"
"I heard there's even a Jindan-level furnace. This Mengyun Tower is truly generous!"
"Nonsense! How did Mengyunlou become the number one brothel in Zhoutian City? It's because that old ancestor is backing it up. Otherwise, it would have been swallowed up long ago. Of course, we have to cling to this thigh at all costs!"
"Over the years, that Gongshu Patriarch has played with over a thousand women, right?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that. It's been so many years."
"I heard that the old ancestor would not allow the women he had played with to be defiled by others again, so after each play, he would personally suck those women dry. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone who survived..."
The whispers of several people could not be hidden from Lu Qing who was standing beside them.
However, his expression did not change. He continued to eat and drink, slowly enjoying the food.
In this way, time passed slowly as Lu Qing ate and drank.
About half an hour later, when he had almost finished eating the large table of delicious food he had ordered.
Suddenly, a strong and violent aura came, and the whole street suddenly fell into silence.
Everyone held their breath for a moment, not daring to make any sound.
They all knew that it was the ancestor of Gongshujia who had arrived.
Lu Qing also put down the chopsticks in his hand, put them aside, and looked towards the end of the street.
In front of the street, a huge chariot pulled by eight strange beasts was slowly approaching.
An old man with a dignified face and wearing a purple robe was sitting on it, with several beautiful women standing on his left and right.
The eight strange beasts alone were all at the Jindan realm. Even those beautiful women had extraordinary cultivation bases, all of them were at the middle Jindan realm or above.
Those who were familiar with Gongshu knew that those women were all concubines of the ancestor Gongshu.
Lu Qing watched this scene quietly and activated his supernatural powers.
The chariot drove all the way and finally stopped in front of Mengyun Tower.
"Oh! Ancestor, you are finally here. I have been waiting anxiously for you~"
A charming cry came from Mengyun Building, and then a middle-aged beautiful woman with heavy makeup walked out of the building, twisting her waist, and acted coquettishly towards the old man.
The voice was so enchanting that it made almost everyone around him feel distracted.
Some even had a look of dementia, as if their minds had been completely captured by the other party.
Only a few people with high cultivation levels looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman with some caution, feeling deeply afraid of the powerful charm of her.
"Is everything I want ready?"
The old man in purple robe ignored the charm of the middle-aged beautiful woman and asked directly in a cold voice.
The middle-aged beautiful woman's heart trembled, and she dared not to do anything rash. She said very respectfully: "Reporting to the ancestor, I have already prepared eighteen female slaves in the foundation-building stage and three beautiful ladies in the golden elixir stage. They are all waiting for you inside.
Don't worry, Grandpa, they are all virgins, and have never been defiled. They are all top-notch furnace cauldrons!"
"Very good. If you can satisfy me, then I will continue to waive the spiritual tax for your Mengyun Tower this year."
The old man in purple robe nodded slightly, a hint of violence flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little impatient.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
The beautiful middle-aged woman was overjoyed and knelt down immediately.
She was naturally happy not only because she was exempted from the spiritual tax, but also because after the old ancestor spoke, her Mengyunlou would be able to maintain its position as the number one brothel in Zhoutian City for the next year.
"Wait for me here."
The purple-robed old man gave instructions to the beautiful women beside him.
"Yes, my husband."
Those beautiful women said respectfully.
When the people around heard these words, although their hearts changed, no one dared to show it on their faces. They all looked at this scene in awe.
They even dared not look directly at the purple-robed old man, for fear that he would sense it and become furious.
Except Lu Qing.
Upstairs in the restaurant, Lu Qing was also looking at the message in his field of vision.
[Gongshu Lian: One of the three direct descendants of the Gongshu family.]
【Cultivation: Peak of the first calamity of the primordial spirit.】
[Because of his own potential being exhausted and his life span having passed most of the way, his spirit and energy were declining. He did not dare to force his way through the second tribulation of his soul, and thus gave up cultivation and chose to enjoy himself.]
[This man has a brutal nature and enjoys torturing young women. Afterwards, he likes to resort to evil methods, taking Yin to replenish Yang, draining the women's essence, energy, and spirit to make up for his own deficiencies.]
[In the past thirty years, he has tortured and killed no fewer than a thousand women...]
Looking at the messages appearing in his field of vision, the murderous intent in Lu Qing's heart began to slowly surge.
As this murderous intent spread, Gongshu Lian, who was about to follow the middle-aged beautiful woman into Mengyun Tower, immediately sensed something and suddenly turned around to look at the restaurant opposite.
Then he happened to see Lu Qing standing at the window, and his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
Gongshu Lian was stunned when he saw Lu Qing's extremely unfamiliar face.
It's not just because of Lu Qing's youth, but also because of the aura of his cultivation that is only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.
He never thought that a mere Jindan initial stage cultivator would dare to show murderous intent towards him.
Does this kid want to commit suicide?
Just when Gongshu Lian had such a random thought in his mind, he saw the boy opposite him suddenly smile at him.
Then, the whole person disappeared.
"not good!"
As the boy disappeared, the old man in purple robe felt an extremely dangerous aura rising from the bottom of his heart.
Without even thinking about it, the spiritual power in his body suddenly exploded.
boom!
How terrifying is the explosion of magical power from a powerful soul?
With the purple-robed old man as the center, the violent magic power instantly affected everything around.
The chariot closest to him, along with the eight exotic beasts and several beautiful women, were all shattered in an instant, without even having time to scream.
If Zhoutian City had not been protected by a formation, the nearby streets would probably have been completely shattered.
As for the beautiful middle-aged woman who was in the late Jindan stage and almost stepped into the Yuanshen stage, she also let out a scream, was blown away, and fell heavily on a wall.
"Old, ancestor!"
The beautiful middle-aged woman was filled with panic, not understanding why the old man in purple robe suddenly became furious.
She didn't bother to heal herself, and hurriedly looked towards the purple-robed old man, wanting to beg for mercy.
Then she saw a sight she would never forget.
I saw an ordinary-looking young man holding a sword, standing in front of the ancestor.
The sword in his hand was pointing right at the old ancestor's eyebrows.
What made her even more unbelievable was the terrifying old ancestor who had just unleashed a burst of magical power.
At this moment, he stood there in a daze, not only allowing the daring boy to point the sword at him, but he also had no breath left in his body, not even a trace of vitality.
"Could it be that the ancestor..."
An incredible thought just arose in the mind of the middle-aged beautiful woman.
An angry voice rang out from the inner city, echoing throughout the city: "How dare you slaughter the soul of my Gongshu family!!"
Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying aura rose from the inner city and flew towards this side at an extremely fast speed!
When Lu Qing heard this voice, he did not hesitate at all.
First, he swung his sword and cut off Gongshu Lian's head. After putting it away, he turned the sword again and took away the storage magic weapon on his body and put it away.
Then he turned around and in a moment he was in front of the middle-aged beautiful woman, pointing a finger at her forehead.
"No……"
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes suddenly widened, and a great fear arose in her heart. However, before she could open her mouth to beg for mercy, Lu Qing's sword finger had already pointed at her eyebrows.
How terrifying was the sky-breaking sword energy that Lu Qing activated with murderous intent.
Even a soul like Gongshu Lian, who was at the first level of calamity, could not withstand the sword energy that was ready to be released, let alone the middle-aged beauty who was at the golden elixir level.
In just a moment, her soul was completely destroyed by Lu Qing's sword energy and she died completely.
Lu Qing waved his hand and collected the corpse. Then his body turned into a sword light and fled into the distance.
All that was left was Gongshu Lian's headless corpse and the mess on the ground.
Less than ten breaths after Lu Qing left, a figure emitting an extremely terrifying aura descended in front of Mengyun Tower.
"Seventh Brother!"
The figure was an old man in a black robe. He looked at the shattered chariot on the ground and the headless body of Gongshu Lian with an extremely ugly expression.
Besides feeling sad and angry, I was secretly frightened.
Although the seventh brother is not very capable and has practiced for so many years, he is still only at the stage of soul tribulation.
But even the most useless soul is not to be tribulations.
There was actually someone who could kill him in the blink of an eye in Zhoutian City.
What level of cultivation had the person who made the move reached?
It is impossible for a second-tribulation soul to do this.
Three tribulations, or four tribulations of the soul?
"No matter who you are, if you dare to kill my Gongshu family's soul in Zhoutian City, even if you are a top-level soul, you must stay with me!"
The old man in black robe first took out a communication jade talisman, activated it, and input a soul message.
A token, after being activated by the power of the soul, was thrown fiercely to the ground.
The token fell to the ground, but instead of being broken, it melted into the ground as if it had touched the water surface.
As the token entered the ground, a wave of energy emanated, and the formation of the entire outer city of Zhoutian City was instantly activated and began to operate.
A curtain of light suddenly appeared, covering the entire Zhoutian City.
After doing all this, the old man in black robe followed Lu Qing's breath and immediately chased after him.
Although he was afraid of the mysterious man who killed the seventh brother, the direct descendant soul of the Gongshu family was actually killed in the street in Zhoutian City.
This is a naked humiliation to their Gongshu family. If they let him escape, it will be an indelible shame for their entire Gongshu family.
So no matter what the cost, he must keep this person!
With the activation of the Zhoutian City formation and the spiritual message sent by the black-robed old man, many powerful beings who were practicing in seclusion in the inner city were suddenly awakened.
"Fourth Brother, what happened? Why did you suddenly activate the entire Zhoutian Star Array?"
"Could it be that the demons are attacking?"
"Shiro, what's going on?"
Many spiritual messages rang in the black-robed old man's mind, asking him about the situation.
The old man in black robe didn't have time to explain one by one, so he just replied with one sentence.
"Old Seven was killed within our Zhoutian City. The killer is still in the city, but his level of cultivation is unknown. I was afraid that I alone would not be able to capture him, so I activated the Zhoutian Star Formation to prevent him from escaping the city."
As soon as these words were spoken, the powerful beings fell silent for a moment, then all flew into a rage. (End of this chapter)
