Chapter 241
"Zhuowen!Please forgive us. We were momentarily blinded by greed, so we listened to Lü Yuanhua's words and actually wanted to snatch the treasure from your hands. ""Yeah!We know we're wrong. We'll never do it again. We'll take a detour when we see you in the future. ""As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to become your slave and serve you for the rest of my life!""…"The endless sea of fire was filled with the miserable cries and pleas of countless warriors. At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with horror. The young man in front of them was too terrifying. He actually killed them just like that."It's too late now. If you want to repent, then wait until your next life!"Zhuowen's eyes were filled with coldness as he stomped his feet on the ground, stepping on the green fire lotus as he arrived above the giant cauldron.Bang bang bang!His right hand suddenly knocked on the cauldron lid of the Nine Wheel Burning Sky Cauldron three times. The fire vent suddenly trembled, and even more intense flames surged out in all directions. The sea of fire that was originally dozens of miles wide instantly expanded to hundreds of miles.Outside the sea of fire, Lingju, the Ninth Commandery Princess, Xu Mu, Qing Lian, and Guang Mo led their men and horses to open up their Primordial Energy Shields. They kept retreating until they were dozens of miles away from the sea of fire. They were shocked and inexplicably looked at the towering pillar of fire not far away."What a powerful Soul Treasure and a powerful formation. What a ruthless and decisive young man!" Qing Lian stood in front of the group and looked at the sea of fire. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she softly exclaimed.Lingju, the Ninth Commandery Princess, and Xu Mu smiled bitterly when they heard Qing Lian's praise. Their eyes were filled with fear.Originally, they had thought that the trip to the Ancient Era's Cave this time around would only be a competition between the five great powers. However, no one had expected that a young man who was originally not noticed by anyone would actually have the last laugh. Right now, his strength had greatly increased and he was able to fight against a thousand people alone.Hiss!The faint sound gradually faded away, and the towering pillar of fire in the distance slowly receded, revealing the scene within a radius of several hundred kilometers.There were originally thousands of cultivators within a hundred miles, but at this moment, there was only a small mountain of ashes. This was the only trace left after thousands of cultivators were incinerated by the blazing fire.Rustle!A cool breeze blew past and the ashes that were piled up like a mountain drifted away. Thousands of warriors whose strength was above the Human King Realm had turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. This shocking scene was still vividly displayed in front of the warriors on the open ground."Several thousand Human Monarchs were annihilated just like that?Is this … really possible? "The Ninth Commandery Princess stared blankly at the ashes that were scattered all over the sky. Her delicate body trembled involuntarily and she could not help murmuring.Xu Mu's eyes were also filled with fear. He glared fiercely at Xu Chang beside him and coldly said, "Second brother, don't provoke this kid in the future!He was able to defeat Lü Yuanhua at such a young age, and now he has killed thousands of cultivators by himself. I'm afraid we can't afford to provoke this kid. "Xu Chang was already in a daze with his mouth wide open. He sat down on the ground and his legs trembled violently. He was also shocked by Zhuowen's ruthless means. He knew that if Zhuowen wanted to kill him now, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. This was because there were many cultivators among the thousands who were more powerful than him."Big brother!This Zhuowen has no background at all. Do you think our House of Marquis of Baichuan will be afraid of him? "After calming down a little, Xu Chang forced himself to be calm and asked Xu Mu."Humph!Of course, our House of Marquis of Baichuan is not afraid of this kid. However, this kid's potential is so great that even I am a little scared!If we want to go against this kid, we must get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, we may be the unlucky ones!Lü Yuanhua is the best example. Do you want to follow in Lü Yuanhua's footsteps? "Xu Mu stared coldly at Xu Chang and said.Feeling the coldness in Xu Mu's eyes, Xu Chang trembled all over and lowered his head silently. The resentment in his heart towards Zhuowen had weakened a lot at this moment.Thump! Thump!Thump! A figure slowly walked out of the remaining power of the sea of fire. There were even traces of lightning and green sparks spreading in the figure's body. At this moment, it was quite dazzling and colorful.Zhuowen glanced indifferently at the stunned crowd not far away and said indifferently, "Is there anyone else who wants to take the Nine-wheel Burning Sky Cauldron from me?"As soon as these words came out, the open space fell into a strange silence. Everyone's faces showed a wry smile. You have just killed thousands of Human King Realm cultivators. Who has the guts to take something from you?"Since there's no one else, I'll leave first!"Looking at the silent open space, Zhuowen spoke again. Just as he was about to leave, a clear voice suddenly rang out."Wait!"The clear voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. When they realized that the one who called out Zhuowen was the Ninth Commandery Princess of the House of Marquis Qin, they could not help but be stunned."What's the matter?" Zhuowen glanced indifferently at the Ninth Commandery Princess and said indifferently.Feeling the attention of the crowd, the Ninth Commandery Princess's pretty face could not help but redden. She bit her lower lip and looked at the young man in front of her with a complicated expression. She said, "Are you really … Zhuowen from Rattan Armor City?"The Ninth Commandery Princess could not reconcile the young man in front of her, who had easily defeated her third brother Lü Yuanhua and killed thousands of Human King Realm cultivators with the young man who could only look up to her in the competition for places."Why not?If the Commandery Princess has nothing else to say, I'll leave first! "Zhuowen frowned slightly. He did not expect that the Ninth Commandery Princess would only ask him to stay for such nonsense.Seeing Zhuowen's impatient attitude, the Ninth Commandery Princess's pretty face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and said, "The thousands of people you killed today were basically all warriors from the forces in the Commandery Capital. You've killed so many people that I'm afraid the forces in the Commandery Capital will not let you go!Even if you're not afraid of these forces, your family is different! "Hearing this, Zhuowen's face suddenly darkened. What the Ninth Commandery Princess said was right. He frowned slightly and said, "I'll deal with this myself. If you still want to recruit me, you don't have to mention it anymore!Today I've defeated Lü Yuanhua, so Lü Yuanhua and I are irreconcilable. If I join the House of Marquis Qin, I'll simply walk into a trap. "Zhuowen's resolute refusal made the Ninth Commandery Princess's pretty face turn even paler. Her lips trembled, but she did not say anything in the end."Haha!Young Master Zhuo, you're indeed a man of noble character and unquestionable integrity. You can even refuse the invitation of the House of Marquis Qin. No wonder you could refuse Qing Lian's invitation so decisively in the cave mansion! "An oriole-like laughter slowly sounded. Qing Lian, whose face was covered by a veil, walked out of the group. Her beautiful watery eyes stared straight at Zhuo Wen."The forces behind those thousands of warriors can be controlled by the Jade Lady Star Court for you. In the future, they won't cause trouble for the Zhuo Family!"Hearing this, Zhuowen's eyes moved slightly. He said in a low voice, "Miss Qing Lian, you're really brave. But I've said that I won't join the Jade Lady Star Court, let alone any other forces.""Young Master Zhuo, don't worry!I'm not asking you to join the Jade Lady Star Court. I just want you to owe us a favor!For you to be able to defeat Lv Yuanhua at such a young age already shows that you have boundless potential. Qinglian is certain that in the Essence Qi Tower battle two years later, you will definitely shine brilliantly! ""So, in the Battle of the Vitality Tower in two years, I hope Young Master Zhuo can help us. What do you think?This is a fair deal! "When Qing Lian spoke until here, she actually winked in a rather playful manner. That moment of charm immediately caused the eyes of quite a number of martial artists to reveal an intoxicated expression.Zhuowen was stunned, and a trace of joy appeared on his face. Qing Lian's condition just solved Zhuowen's current problem.In terms of trump cards, Zhuowen was no longer afraid of Heavenly King Realm warriors. Perhaps even a half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm warrior would not be a threat to him. Moreover, the county capital was so far away from Vine Armor City. If those forces wanted to capture him, Zhuowen could completely avoid them.However, the Zhuo Family could not. After all, the Zhuo Family had thousands of people. They could not hide like him. If the forces in the county capital could not find Zhuowen, they would definitely find the Zhuo Family to settle the score.Qing Lian's proposal was what Zhuowen wanted. Zhuowen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Qing Lian. This time, Zhuowen owes the Jade Lady Star Court a favor. In the Battle of the Vitality Tower in two years, this one will definitely do his best to help the Jade Lady Star Court."Seeing that Zhuowen had agreed, a smile appeared on Qing Lian's pretty face. It was like a hundred flowers blooming.After saying that, Zhuowen did not say anything else. With a stomp of his foot, his entire body shot into the distance like an arrow released from a bow.Now, Zhuowen was in a hurry to return to the Zhuo Family. He knew that the news of him obtaining the Earth-Rank Soul Treasure would spread very quickly. At that time, the Zhuo Family would most likely become the target of public criticism.Zhuowen had gained a lot in the Ancient Cave Mansion. More importantly, Zhuowen had collected a considerable amount of puppet materials in his Qiankun Bag.He knew that if he wanted to increase the strength of the Zhuo Family, he would have to refine puppets first. Once he refined a large number of Human King and Earth-King puppets, Zhuowen would not be afraid even if the forces around Rattan Armor City were to stir up trouble.Looking at Zhuowen's gradually disappearing figure, the atmosphere in the open space suddenly became much more relaxed. Lingju looked at the somewhat dispirited Lü Yuanhua in her arms and sighed softly, "Zhuowen is really a dragon among men. If he does not fall, he will have a place among the experts of the Qing Xuan Empire in the future."Surprisingly, when Lingju spoke, no one in the open space refuted her words. Instead, they lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
"Zhuowen!
Please forgive us. We were momentarily blinded by greed, so we listened to Lü Yuanhua's words and actually wanted to snatch the treasure from your hands. "
"Yeah!
We know we're wrong. We'll never do it again. We'll take a detour when we see you in the future. "
"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to become your slave and serve you for the rest of my life!"
