Chapter 124: Survival and Death
Chapter 124: Survival and Death
In Qianyang City, Qianling Prefecture, Yan Zixia arranged a large private room in her own business "Food is Fairy" and prepared a large table of rare and exotic animals to entertain Ximen Qinghong.
During the period, Wang Xiumei seemed to want to bring the two together and left halfway with an excuse. After her departure, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became awkward.
Yan Zixia was secretly angry but did not show it at all.
"Haha... Senior Brother Ximen! Thank you for coming all the way to help our Feiyu Chamber of Commerce. No matter what the result of this competition is, our Yan family will definitely reward you handsomely. I would like to offer you a toast."
Yan Zixia smiled, picked up the wine in the cup and drank it all.
"Haha... we are all family, Zixia, why do you have to say two different things? But... I don't know what kind of generous reward you are talking about?"
Ximen Qinghong picked up the wine glass and asked jokingly.
"Uh... this... hehe... the Yan family has prepared five million medium-grade spirit stones as a reward,"
Yan Zixia was stunned at first when she heard this. She didn't expect Ximen Qinghong to ask this suddenly. Then she sorted out her thoughts and smiled.
Ximen Qinghong didn't seem to be interested when he heard about the five million mid-grade spirit stones. He stared at Yan Zixia and said:
"Haha... I don't care about the mere five million mid-grade spirit stones. What I care about is your feelings, Zixia! Do you understand what I mean?"
Yan Zixia naturally understood what Ximen Qinghong meant. Back then, Yan Zixia, as a descendant of Yan Feiyu, also studied the art of alchemy in Dancheng. The alchemy god Kong Qiu taught Yan Zixia for a period of time for Yan Feiyu's sake.
However, although Yan Zixia was a child of destiny, she lacked the natural talent for alchemy. No matter how hard she tried, she could not make much progress. She could not even become a registered disciple, so she had to give up in the end.
It was at that time that Yan Zixia met Ximen Qinghong. Ximen Qinghong had good qualities in all aspects and knew how to please girls. Yan Zixia did not mind being friends with Ximen Qinghong at that time.
However, when Ximen Qinghong expressed his love for her, Yan Zixia refused. Ximen Qinghong never mentioned the matter again after hearing this, so the two kept in touch from time to time.
Now, after many years, when Yan Zixia heard Ximen Qinghong's overt and covert hints again, she really didn't know how to respond.
"Haha... Senior Brother Ximen! I see you are tired from the journey, why don't I go and arrange a place for you to stay first! We can talk again when we have a chance."
Yan Zixia smiled and fled out of the private room. After leaving the door, she took a deep breath of fresh air and was glad that she was smart just now, otherwise she really didn't know how to refuse.
In the private room, Ximen Qinghong saw Yan Zixia's panic, but he didn't care. He picked up the wine glass, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then drank the wine in the glass.
In Baiyun City, in a magnificent manor, at this moment in the back garden, more than a dozen fusion-stage cultivators surrounded the injured Lu Chen.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, sat on the ground like a dead pig, not afraid of boiling water, and looked around curiously.
I found myself in a place similar to a back garden. Everywhere I looked, there were rockery, rocks, pavilions and waterside terraces. The environment was quite good.
But when he thought about his current situation, knowing that he was going to die anyway, Lu Chen gave up any further futile resistance.
"Haha...boy! You are quite courageous. Why don't you run away?"
At this time, the middle-aged monk in the dungeon flashed out from the underground passage, and saw Lu Chen slumped on the ground. There was no fear on his face, and he mocked him at the right time.
"Haha...what's there to run for? Besides, I can't run away. The environment here is pretty good, and it's also suitable for my burial place."
Lu Chen pointed at the surrounding environment and smiled calmly.
"As you wish, kill him!" the middle-aged monk gave the order in a cold voice, signaling his men to take action.
Upon hearing that, the monk had a magic sword appear in his hand, which was infused with true energy and emitted a golden light.
At this time,
"Haha... I found that guy, Senior Brother. I was right, wasn't I? This Wanli Piaoxiang really works. If you still don't believe me, look, I found him!"
Just as he finished speaking, two figures flew on swords and landed in the back garden in the blink of an eye. As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by more than a dozen monks in the fusion stage, and the two sides became tense.
Lu Chen looked at the two monks, one fat and one thin, in confusion. From their movements, he knew that their cultivation was not low.
Looking at them again, I felt as if I had seen these two people somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. After thinking for a while, I suddenly had an idea, and then I became even more confused.
Aren’t these two monks the same two monks that he met at the entrance of the teleportation hall in Zhongba City?
At that time, the fat monk bumped into me, but I didn't care about it and just looked back at them.
But how could these two people appear here? Judging from what they just said, these two monks seemed to be looking for me intentionally.
They even left some kind of fragrance on me, so I tracked them here. Judging from their appearance, they are not here to treat me to a meal.
Lu Chen had a headache. When did he offend these two masters again?
"What? You want to fight?" The fat monk among them said disdainfully, and displayed his aura. The dozen or so monks in the fusion stage around him felt infinite pressure.
"Stop!" The middle-aged monk stopped him.
At the same time, he exerted his aura to relieve the pressure on his subordinates. He could see that these two cultivators had come with bad intentions, and their strength was not inferior to his, both of them were in the early stage of Golden Core.
"Hehe... I don't know why you two fellow Taoists are here. It would be better for you to make things clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Besides, the owner of this manor is Tianyuan Pavilion." The middle-aged cultivator said with a smile.
"Lei Hu! Stop!" another thin monk spoke out to stop him.
"Oh... okay!" Upon hearing this, the fat monk retracted his aura and looked at Lu Chen in confusion.
"The Tianyuan Pavilion is actually behind the pawnshop?" Lu Chen muttered to himself. This was the second time he heard the name Tianyuan Pavilion. The last time at Qiankun Stone Square, didn't Zhen Guanxi claim to be from Tianyuan Pavilion? He didn't expect that he would have something to do with Tianyuan Pavilion again.
Lu Chen was watching them with great joy, thinking that the two gangs would fight, so that he could find a chance to slip away. However, he did not expect them to stop again.
"Hehe... Please, fellow Taoist. We have no intention of offending you. It's just that this kid is someone our master has ordered to be killed, so we tracked him all the way here." The thin monk pointed at Lu Chen and said.
"Hehe... In that case, please do as you please, fellow Daoist!" The middle-aged cultivator waved his hand, and his men retreated behind him, leaving Lu Chen alone there.
"Come to kill me? Are you kidding me?" Lu Chen was shocked when he heard this and wanted to retort, but suddenly his eyes froze and a look of horror appeared on his face.
