At that mont, Chu Tianhe and Fang Yuntian clashed. As soon as these two Purple Mansion Immortals exchanged blows, a great commotion and destructive force erupted. With a loud boom, the palm power of both n crossed, sending a powerful shockwave in all directions, lifting the entire main hall into the air and affecting many Fang family's servants.
Following Fang Yuntian and Chu Tianhua's fight, the Chu family mbers and Fang family mbers also engaged in battle, causing a blood feud between the Chu family and the Fang family.
This battle resulted in heavy casualties, and since it occurred in the Fang family's location, they held the upper hand. Chu Tianhe and twenty Chu family mbers were all killed, and the Fang family also lost a son and over a dozen experts. In the end, the battle resulted in mutual destruction, with only Chu Tianhua escaping alive.
Due to this incident, the Fang family and the Chu family ford a blood feud.
This conflict between the Fang family and the Chu family was anticipated by Wang Xiaoqiang. Seeing his two adversaries engage in a bloody battle and mutually destroy each other, Wang Xiaoqiang was naturally delighted. However, since the matter originated because of him, he maintained a neutral stance and avoided inquiring about any news related to this incident.
As promised, Chang Tianfeng did not break his word. After Wang Xiaoqiang married Chang Xiuyue, the Chang family sent a batch of cultivation resources to Windrise Palace, ant for his future cultivation use.
Wang Xiaoqiang stored all these cultivation resources in his Storage Bag, and then, along with Chang Xiuyue, set off on the road. The deadline set by the Biluo Heavenly Emperor had arrived; he could no longer enjoy a life of leisure and had to search for the Grim Reaper.
The reason for bringing Chang Xiuyue was twofold: firstly, they had just married, so this trip was like a honeymoon; secondly, since Chang Xiuyue possessed the Taiyin Body, keeping her close and experiencing mutual affection as a couple would greatly enhance his cultivation base.
With the Vermilion Bird Guardian overseeing the Windrise Tribe, Wang Xiaoqiang felt assured. Upon leaving Windrise Palace, he used a small piece of bloodstain to cover the lightning mark on his forehead.
The lightning mark was too conspicuous; others could easily recognize him as Wang Xiaoqiang. He thought that since the Grim Reaper could steal the Spirit Gathering Array secret technique of the Biluo Heavenly Emperor, it must not be a simple character—either with many spies or possessing great divine skills.
Lest he not find it and be discovered instead, losing his life to it would be a major disaster.
Thus, disguising himself was very necessary.
Furthermore, for Chang Xiuyue's safety, during the quest for the Grim Reaper, he stored Chang Xiuyue in his Storage Ring and did not forget to release a large portion of the Spiritual Spring from his body externally, disguising himself as a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor level.
In this way, he appeared very ordinary; no one would notice him, and neither would the Grim Reaper pay him any attention.
Wang Xiaoqiang traveled alone, with the Heavenly Eye always open. Although he knew his Heavenly Eye could see the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper would never expose itself easily to him, so he had to search city by city.
He decided to start the search from the Xiguang Territory and then move in one direction, checking each domain one at a ti until he scoured the entire Biluo Realm. Surely, he would eventually find the Grim Reaper.
During the search for the Grim Reaper, Wang Xiaoqiang did not forget to cultivate, searching by day and cultivating by night—sotis searching at night and cultivating by day.
Quickly, half a year passed, Wang Xiaoqiang searched the entire Xiguang Territory but still couldn't find any trace of the Grim Reaper. However, with six months of cultivation and the help of Chang Xiuyue's Taiyin Body, Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base increased by one level, reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm.
Finally, Wang Xiaoqiang entered the Huayin Province.
On this day, he searched all day without any discoveries and arrived at a large city in the Huayin Province to eat in the evening.
Whenever he ate, he would release Chang Xiuyue to let her breathe so fresh air and accompany him for als.
This city was not only large but also bustling; because it was alti, every restaurant was teeming with guests, every establishnt packed full. Getting a private room was impossible.
Therefore, the two could only eat in the first-floor hall. There were many guests in the hall, it was noisy and crowded, but Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue arrived relatively early and managed to grab a spot.
They ordered wine and dishes and were waiting for their food when a gang of six people walked into the restaurant.
Leading them was a young man dressed like a prince, around twenty-five or six years old, already at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm—a genius indeed, with fine clothes and a noble deanor, surrounded by four attendants and accompanied by a woman of decent beauty.
As soon as the restaurant's waiter and boss saw this young lord step into the restaurant, they imdiately greeted him, "Yo, Young City Lord, your esteed arrival truly brings glory to our humble establishnt..."
"Cut the chatter. Do you have a private room?" A burly man behind the Young City Lord barked.
"No... Umm, yes, yes..." The restaurant owner saw he was soone not to be provoked and hurriedly changed his response to say there was one available. To be honest, facing this local tyrant, even risking the ire of other guests by emptying a private room for them had to be done to accommodate the Young City Lord. Otherwise, his restaurant wouldn't be able to continue operating.
"If you have one, hurry up. The Young City Lord is hungry. If you delay his al, you won't be open much longer." The burly man behind the Young City Lord shouted arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. I'll have soone handle it imdiately." The restaurant owner nodded repeatedly, then signaled to an attendant beside him. The attendant imdiately went upstairs to clear a private room.
The Young City Lord was too lazy to say another word to the restaurant owner and swept his ** eyes across the hall rapidly, his gaze soon falling upon Chang Xiuyue, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
Although he had no lack of won before, the woman by his side was also quite pretty, but upon seeing Chang Xiuyue, he finally understood what it ant to have soone better—beauties over beauties.
Seeing the Young City Lord engage in staring openly at a beauty, the woman beside him couldn't help but glance at Chang Xiuyue. Chang Xiuyue's looks filled her with amazent but also a sense of jealousy. To prevent the Young City Lord from finding a new fla, the woman clinging to the Young City Lord's arm, said seductively in a charming voice, "Young Lord, don't be lost in thought. The private room is upstairs; let's go up..."
The Young City Lord threw away the woman's hand and pointed to the table where Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue were sitting, saying to the restaurant owner, "Boss Feng, we don't want the private room anymore, just that table."
Originally, the restaurant's private rooms were full, and clearing one would harm reputation and ruin business. Boss Feng understandably was not willing. Seeing the Young City Lord decided not to take a private room and wanted to eat in the hall, he made a gesture of invitation, "Young City Lord, please."
The Young City Lord was about to move forward when the woman next to him cast a cunning glance at Boss Feng and called out, "Feng, are you blind? There are already two people at that table; how can we fit?"
"Uh, right, right, I understand, I understand." Boss Feng said submissively, then stepped forward and asked Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, "Have you two eaten?"
Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Not yet, what's the matter?"
"Uh, the place is small, and guests are many. Sotis to ensure each guest gets a seat, we have to shuffle tables around. Would you two mind moving to another table? This table has to be cleared."
While Boss Feng spoke to the two, the Young City Lord and his entourage had already approached. The Young City Lord's brazen gaze swept indecently over Chang Xiuyue.
Feeling the Young City Lord's malicious gaze, Chang Xiuyue couldn't help but wrinkle her charming brow, signaling Wang Xiaoqiang with her eyes to change to another table.
To remain low-key while searching for the Grim Reaper and not draw the Grim Reaper's attention, Wang Xiaoqiang had to operate with a principle of non-provocation. Seeing the party approaching with ill intentions and Chang Xiuyue signaling him, he agreed with Boss Feng, standing up to clear the spot.
Unexpectedly, the Young City Lord slapped Boss Feng across the face and angrily shouted, "Presumptuous! Did I ask you to kick them out? Doing this, do you want others to see as domineering and tyrannical?"
Boss Feng was struck dizzy and not comprehending. The woman next to Wen kicked people out, but Wen then reprimanded and hit him.
Bewildered as he was, he dared not show the slightest rebelliousness, imdiately telling Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, "You two don't need to move, remain at the table."
Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze then swept over Boss Feng and Young Lord Wen, anger flashing across his face. (To be continued.
