Chapter 138 Taking His Head
In his residence in Tianwu City, Zhou Xianzong enjoyed the dancers' moves while eating the fruit Yingxi fed him, living a carefree life.
He glanced at the man dressed in Zhou Dynasty attire and asked casually.
"Why did Mother send you here?"
"Your Highness, the Queen specifically asked me to remind you that the ruins will open in half a month. I hope that Your Highness will not be distracted by other matters when you enter."
The man said respectfully.
Despite his Celestial Realm cultivation, he remained subservient and respectful in front of Zhou Xianzong.
"I understand, I will participate, and I will definitely live up to Mother's expectations."
Zhou Xianzong nodded, feeling mostly moved.
He never expected that Murong Mingyue would send someone to remind him about something so trivial.
This also shows that Murong Mingyue truly cared for him.
"Step down."
Zhou Xianzong waved his hand.
"yes."
Just as the man reached the door, a beautiful figure walked in.
She first glanced at the dancers in the lobby, who were dressed in exquisite costumes, had good looks, and hot figures, before turning her gaze to Zhou Xianzong.
"I never would have guessed that Your Highness was living such a comfortable life. I was the one who was worried too much, fearing that Your Highness would lose your appetite and sleep because of Miss Le'er."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong's lips twitched.
He looked at Mo Wu's smiling eyes and was speechless.
But we still need to put on a good show.
After all, in his character setting, he is a devoted lover who only has eyes for Luo Le'er and has no interest in other women.
"It's good to relax occasionally so that you don't live a life that's too stressful."
Zhou Xianzong made up an excuse on the spot.
"Yeah."
Mo Wu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on a chair to the side, jokingly saying...
"I've heard that His Highness is incredibly devoted, with only Miss Le'er in his eyes, and ignores all other women."
Zhou Xianzong smiled somewhat awkwardly and changed the subject.
"Sister Mo, you didn't come here today just to make fun of me, did you?"
"Hehe, naturally I have something to ask of Your Highness."
Mo Wu chuckled softly, her natural charm sending a shiver down Zhou Xianzong's spine.
She continued.
"Recently, I have had my alchemists refine a number of pills. I have come to ask Your Highness to take a look and see if they meet the standards required by the Zhou Dynasty. I would also like to ask Your Highness what kind of pills the Zhou Dynasty needs most."
Mo Wu did this because she already planned to hand over the management of Tianwu City's affairs to someone else.
The ruins were about to open, and someone from her family had come to inform her, so naturally she was going to enter them.
Before that, everything must be handled properly.
To be honest, Zhou Xianzong didn't really want to get involved in this kind of thing, because he felt it was a waste of time.
Unfortunately, Mo Wu is one of the female leads, and she is currently supplying medicinal herbs and elixirs to the Zhou Dynasty.
Helping her is helping yourself; you can't refuse.
"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
Zhou Xianzong nodded.
He said to Yingxi beside him.
"I'm going to the Treasure Pavilion. You stay home and wait for me to return."
"Young master, you may go."
Yingxi nodded slightly.
"Sister Mo, let's go."
Zhou Xianzong stood up.
The two walked towards the gate of the mansion, where a carriage was already quietly waiting.
After getting into the carriage, Mo Wu sat on the soft, snow-white cushion, crossed her legs, and showed off her long, straight, jade-like legs.
"Your Highness has really hurt me. As long as I don't take the initiative to seek you out, you would rather watch dancers perform than come to the Treasure Pavilion to see me. It's true, I'm old and faded, and I can't compare to these young girls anymore."
Oh shit.
Why would I, a villain, bother with you?
I can't possibly spark a romantic connection with you.
Zhou Xianzong openly glanced at her jade-like legs before speaking righteously.
"Sister Mo, what are you saying? In my eyes, Sister Mo is the most beautiful."
"Yeah."
Mo Wu suddenly leaned close to Zhou Xianzong's face, the two of them so close that they could even feel each other's breath.
"No matter how beautiful I am, Your Highness still thinks of Miss Le'er."
Mo Wu winked at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a breathtaking beauty.
Who likes Luo Le'er?
Zhou Xianzong immediately curled his lip, inwardly unconvinced.
He has never liked the cold, aloof type of woman; he prefers the type like Mo Wu.
He was knowledgeable and reasonable, and every word he spoke resonated with him, making him feel comfortable.
But while that's what I really think, I still have to pretend on the surface.
"Sister Mo's beauty and Le'er's beauty are naturally different."
"How are they different?"
Mo Wu asked with great interest.
She wanted to see what kind of nonsense this little guy could come up with.
"Well..."
Zhou Xianzong pondered for a moment, carefully examined Mo Wu's figure, and was just about to speak.
A piercing whistling sound cut through the air, instantly interrupting his train of thought.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the second floor of the inn next to the street ahead was instantly torn to shreds by a powerful spiritual energy, the hard walls crumbling like paper.
Whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, several masked figures rushed out from the corner below the inn.
At a glance, there were eight people, all of whom possessed powerful auras and exuded terrifying malevolent energy.
This must have been formed by killing countless people.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying these people would be if they made a move.
"They are from the Crimson Tower!"
Zhou Xianzong took a breath.
The plot states that the Crimson Tower will send assassins to hunt down Xiao Potian.
They wanted to avenge Xiao Potian killing their sect leader last time.
Zhou Xianzong never expected that he would actually run into him again.
Moreover, judging from the cultivation levels of these individuals, the lowest among them is at least the ninth level of the Opening Meridian Realm, and there are even experts at the Celestial Realm.
It's not hard to see that Xue Shi went to great lengths to kill Xiao Potian.
Zhou Xianzong really didn't know what level of cultivation Xiao Potian had.
Oh shit.
Is this good-for-nothing still at the ninth level of the Qi Opening Realm?
How can he fight?
Is he going to get hung up and hammered again this time?
I'll blanch it.
That's so pitiful.
However, they should not be in any danger to their lives.
After all, Mo Wu saw it with her own eyes, and she wouldn't just stand by and watch Xiao Potian die.
Zhou Xianzong felt relieved after thinking about this.
"That's true. But why are they making such a fuss? What are they trying to do?"
Mo Wu was somewhat curious.
Such blatant killing in Tianwu City is extremely rare.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see. I also want to know who it is that has attracted so much attention from the Crimson Tower that they even sent out a Celestial Realm expert."
Zhou Xianzong smiled and told the coachman to move the carriage to the side.
"Intelligence indicates that Xiao Potian is on the second floor. He should have just been injured by my hidden weapon. Rush up, take his head, and go back to report."
The lead assassin gave the order in a cold voice.
"yes."
The other seven responded in unison, and at the same time, their feet seemed to fly, soaring into the air as if they were scaling walls and rooftops.
