Chapter 1672: Chapter 1671: Comprehending the Second Move, Stirring Up Trouble
“Senior, for escorting us on this journey,
we have nothing to repay you with.
Please co to my Luo Residence, so I can offer you so hospitality.”
The elder turned around and solemnly said to Xu Zii.
“I have no interest in getting involved with your Luo Residence,” Xu Zii directly refused.
“I’ll just find an inn in the city to stay.
And wait for the recruitnt conference of the Five Great Powers.”
This ti Luo Mingyue’s return ho might stir an undercurrent throughout the entire Luo Residence.
Although Xu Zii is not afraid,
he’s not soone else’s enforcer.
These days, he had escorted the two and they guided him, telling him much about the Great Wilderness.
Considering this, it could be said they owe each other nothing more.
Feeling awkward at Xu Zii’s refusal, the elder could only nod slightly.
He said, “I am the Great Elder of the Luo Residence and still hold so influence.
If the senior has any needs, feel free to seek out.”
Xu Zii nodded slightly.
Without further concern for the two, he walked straight into Fan City.
It was now early morning, with the first rays of the sun just breaking the horizon.
The city, sealed overnight, was just now opening its gates.
Watching Xu Zii’s departing figure, the elder sighed deeply.
“Great Elder, has the young master left?”
Luo Mingyue asked, poking her head out from the carriage.
“He has,” the elder nodded helplessly.
“The young master and us, after all, are not on the sa path,” Luo Mingyue said, sowhat dejectedly.
“I know, but I must admit to having so personal motives.”
The elder replied.
“You have just joined the Luo Residence and have no foundation there.
Even with the Family Head’s protection,
I’m afraid you’ll find it hard to move an inch.
The power dynamics within the Luo Residence are too complex, and the struggle for power has reached an extre.”
“If the senior ca to our Luo Residence,
with him protecting you, at least you would have so influence.
What a pity, what a pity.”
“Great Elder, please do not say that again,” Luo Mingyue replied firmly.
“The senior saved our lives.
We should be profoundly grateful and reverent.
How can we exploit the senior’s presence to feign authority?”
“You, young lady, are just too stubborn,” the elder shook his head.
“But I am upright in my conduct,” Luo Mingyue said.
“This return to the Luo Residence is rely to fulfill my mother’s wish.
When the recruitnt conference of the Five Great Powers starts,
I will find a way to join the Jade Maiden Palace.
I have no interest whatsoever in Luo Residence’s wealth and power.”
“What if you cannot enter the Jade Maiden Palace?” the elder asked in return.
The recruitnt of disciples by the Five Great Powers
shakes the entire Great Wilderness.
At that ti, talented disciples will erge, and countless strong beings.
Who can guarantee being chosen for sure?
“Then I will return to my old ho, live a peaceful life until death,” Luo Mingyue replied resolutely.
“Alright, let’s head back to the residence,” the elder waved his hand.
Once we reach the Luo Residence, the Family Head will naturally make arrangents.
……
This Fan City is enormous.
As the main base of the Luo Residence, the first of the thirty-six cities, the vastness of Fan City is beyond imagination.
Fan City is divided into two parts, East City and West City.
The East City is where the indigenous residents of the city live.
While the West City attracts countless people from south to north across the thirty-six cities, forming an imnse trading market.
In the West City, there is nothing that you cannot buy.
Xu Zii first ca to the East City and found an inn.
It should be just around dawn, and the inn’s attendants seed not fully awake, looking sowhat listless.
Seeing Xu Zii enter, they perked up their spirits and ca forward to greet him.
“Dining or lodging, sir?”
“Lodging,” Xu Zii gestured, choosing a window seat.
“Bring out all the specials of the house.”
“Alright,” the attendant quickly went away to prepare.
anwhile, Xu Zii began pondering his next actions.
First, he must find a way to enter the Jade Maiden Palace.
They do not accept males,
but what if there was a dazzlingly talented disciple?
There are always things in the world that can lead people to make exceptions.
In other words, in the worst case, he could apprehend soone from the Jade Maiden Palace and have them take him in.
However, it is still uncertain if the End of Heaven is indeed the place of the Barren Tree.
But as one of the Five Great Powers,
the Dominator of the Great Wilderness,
the Jade Maiden Palace should have heard of the Barren Tree.
For now, he can only take one step at a ti.
Xu Zii wasn’t in a hurry either, he was recently comprehending his second form.
Since the Jiuyou Fall, Xu Zii discerned that the path of creating divine thods is feasible.
The divine thods he creates himself are the ones that fit him best.
As for the second form, Xu Zii already had an inkling.
It will be called Extermination of Ten Thousand Immortals.
So fall into Jiuyou, others beco the bane of immortals.
I am the chess master, all beings are chess pieces.
……
After dining, Xu Zii returned to the inn.
But he had barely started comprehending his second form of divine thods when he was awakened by a commotion.
A “boom” was heard.
The door to his room was kicked open.
A group of people in martial attire barged in.
“You’re in trouble, co with us,” said one of them.
This person was broad-shouldered and powerful, exuding a strong aura.
His strength was likely around the Divine Vein level.
However, Xu Zii sensed that this group was rely the vanguard.
In the shadows, several emperor-like presences fell upon him, as though probing for sothing.
“How interesting,” he chuckled lightly.
He did not get angry.
Because once they barged in, their fate was sealed.
“Who are you people?” Xu Zii asked.
“Luo Residence guards,” the leading man said proudly.
Though re guards, the Luo Residence is the ruler here.
Their status is naturally different.
Ordinarily, everyone must give these guards so respect.
“What do you want with ?” Xu Zii asked again.
“You know in your heart. Once you arrive at the Luo Residence, everything will be decided,” the guard said coolly.
“Then let’s go take a look,” Xu Zii stood up.
He was sowhat intrigued now.
He never provoked others, but if soone sought death, he wouldn’t mind sending them on their way.
The guard seed sowhat surprised by Xu Zii’s calmness.
They watched him walk out.
They hurriedly surrounded him and followed along.
Soone led the way in front, and they grandly headed towards the Luo Residence.
Xu Zii did not resist, which made them at ease.
Walking on the street,
naturally sparked curiosity and discussions all around.
……
At this ti, on a restaurant by the street.
A group of people in scholar robes sat there.
An elder with four young disciples looked down from a second-floor window.
“The Luo Family has been quite restless lately, hasn’t it?” said one of the male disciples.
“That place is about to open, and it’s on their territory, so if they keep calm, it would be strange,” a woman beside him laughed.
“When will we make our move?” a man beside him, unsmiling, asked plainly.
“That depends on the Master,” the smiling woman replied.
Everyone looked up.
Seeing the elder sitting by the window, remaining silent.
“Cannot discern,” the elder said.
“What does Master an?” the disciples asked, puzzled.
“My art of divination cannot see through him,” the elder’s eyes fixed on Xu Zii.
Until Xu Zii’s figure disappeared from view.
