Chapter 246

Aunt Zhuo Meijin

The Zhuo Family Courtyard was filled with people, most of whom were members of the Zhuo Family. At the front of the crowd were the core members of the Zhuo Family, such as Zhuo Xiangding and Zhuo Beitian.

Behind Zhuo Xiangding and the others, there were many juniors with fanatical and excited expressions. These juniors' eyes contained deep admiration as they looked at the figure at the entrance of the courtyard.

This figure was not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. His figure was tall and straight, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. This person was Zhuowen.

A month had already passed. Today, Zhuowen planned to follow Grandmaster Kuraki to Broken Rock City to take the arcana test and obtain the badge of a Third Rank Arcanist.

The badge was the status symbol of an arcanist. With the badge, Zhuowen would have certain privileges and status no matter where he went in the Qing Xuan Empire. As a result, obtaining the badge would be very convenient for Zhuowen when he went to the provincial capital two years later.

After all, after the battle for the Ancient Cavern Mansion, Zhuowen had offended most of the forces in the prefecture. Although these forces did not dare to cause trouble for Zhuowen because of the Jade Lady Star Court, if Zhuowen entered the prefecture, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Therefore, only by obtaining the badge of a Level Three Arcanist could Zhuowen ensure that he would not become a target of public criticism when he entered the prefecture in two years.

At this moment, there were already two people standing beside Zhuowen. One of them was Master Kuraki, and the other was the City Lord of Rattan Armor City, Gu Yue Tian.

When he heard that Zhuowen was leaving today, Gu Yue Tian specially came to the Zhuo Family to send him off. As the City Lord, the fact that he was able to do so showed how much importance Gu Yue Tian placed on Zhuowen!

"Zhuowen!

He had to be extra careful when he went to Broken Rock City. Even though Broken Rock City couldn't be compared to the provincial capital, it was still one of the top super cities in Muqin County. It was said that the City Lord of Broken Rock City was an expert who had stepped into the Ultimate Emperor Realm!

Be more cautious. Don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke. "

Zhuo Xiangding's gaze was somewhat reluctant as he looked at the grandson in front of him, whom he was extremely proud of. However, after he spoke until this point, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face. Soon after, he took out a diamond-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Zhuo Wen.

"Grandpa!

This is … "Zhuowen looked at the diamond-shaped jade pendant in his palm. The word 'Jin' was carved in the center of the jade pendant. The word was delicate and elegant, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"This jade pendant is your aunt's personal jade pendant." When Zhuo Xiangding said this, his eyes flashed with a trace of guilt.

"My aunt?

I actually have an aunt?

Why didn't I know about it? "Hearing this, the doubt in Zhuowen's heart grew even stronger.

"That's because this old man hid information about your aunt from you. Your father had a younger sister named Zhuo Meijin. Back then, your father Zhuo Xiaotian was extremely talented and was the number one person in our Zhuo Family!

Your aunt's talent was equally terrifying. Her cultivation speed was second only to your father's. She was also devastatingly beautiful. At that time, there were many talented young men in Rattan Armor City who pursued her … "

"What a pity!

Good times don't last long. Your father went missing ten years ago and there has been no news of him ever since.

The next year, the eldest son of the Zhao Family, one of the four great families in Broken Rock City, Zhao Youting, came to ask for her hand in marriage. At that time, due to the influence of the Zhao Family, Meijin finally agreed. "

At this point, Zhuo Xiangding suddenly clenched his fists so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. He gritted his teeth and said, "I thought that Meijin would be happy after marrying into the Zhao Family. However, who would have thought that half a year later, our Zhuo Family would lose contact with Meijin!

After that, we went to Broken Rock City many times to inquire about Meijin's situation. However, we were all chased away by the Zhao Family. They even said that there was no such person as Zhuo Meijin in the Zhao Family. "

Hearing this, Zhuowen's eyes instantly narrowed. He also did not expect that he actually had an aunt. After searching his mind for a long time, Zhuowen did indeed have a trace of recollection. Ten years ago, when he was still a child, he did indeed have an aunt who was very good to him.

However, it was a long time ago and Zhuowen was born in another body. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to that woman who had a faint impression of him. Now that Zhuo Xiangding mentioned it, Zhuowen recalled some things.

"In other words, ever since aunt was married into the Zhao Family, there has been no news of her?"

His gaze slightly narrowed, but Zhuowen sighed softly in his heart. He knew that it was very likely that his aunt had met with a mishap.

"Yes!

Your aunt was originally an exceptionally intelligent woman. If she wanted to leave, she would have definitely informed our Zhuo Family. However, ten years ago, it was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth!

I believe that Meijin's disappearance is related to the Zhao Family. Therefore, when you go to Broken Rock City this time, you can investigate your aunt's whereabouts. "Zhuo Xiangding's gaze was somewhat dim as he said with a bitter smile.

"Grandfather, don't worry!

Since this matter concerns my aunt, I, Zhuowen, will naturally investigate. "Zhuowen's eyes slightly narrowed as a trace of cold light flashed in them.

Although he did not have much of an impression of this aunt of his, from what he remembered, his aunt and his father were very close. Back then, his rise to power was inextricably linked to his father, Zhuowen. Furthermore, Zhuo Meijin was related to him by blood. Therefore, Zhuowen naturally had no choice but to investigate this matter.

Seeing Zhuowen readily agree, Zhuo Xiangding's face was filled with joy. He knew that this time, Zhuowen would definitely have a chance to become a Third Grade Arcana Master. With the status of a Third Grade Arcana Master, it should not be difficult for him to find a woman in Broken Rock City!

"Grandfather!

Before I leave, I still have a few things to give you. "

Zhuowen suddenly patted his Qiankun Bag, and a large black shadow immediately scuttled out. Everyone looked over and saw that this black shadow was actually a man with a sluggish expression and listless eyes.

"This is … a puppet?" Looking at the sluggish man in front of him, Zhuo Xiangding asked tentatively.

In the courtyard, many people's gazes gathered on the puppet, and a trace of curiosity appeared on their faces. After all, this was the first time they had seen the way of puppetry.

"I didn't expect Zhuo Xiaoyou to also know the way of puppetry. I heard that the art of puppetry was lost in ancient times. It seems that Zhuo Xiaoyou has gained a lot in the ancient cave!

I wonder how powerful this puppet is? "

Gu Yue Tian, who was standing at the side, suddenly laughed heartily. His eyes contained a trace of shrewdness as he looked at the puppet.

"Lord Gu, you can test the strength of this puppet. If you are able to defeat this puppet, I can gift it to you." The corner of Zhuo Wen's mouth revealed a faint smile as he spoke in a faint voice.

"Oh?

Are you serious? "

When Gu Yue Tian heard this, a trace of emotion appeared on his face. With his sharp intuition, he could feel that the puppet in front of him was extraordinary. Its power should be comparable to an Earth King Realm expert.

Gu Yue Tian's strength was already at the Advanced Earth King Realm, and he was considered above average among Earth King Realm experts. He was confident that he could deal with the puppet in front of him. Moreover, the thing that interested him the most was naturally defeating the puppet, and that was why Zhuowen wanted to gift it to him.

If he could obtain a puppet whose strength was not inferior to a Human King Realm expert, the City Lord's Mansion's strength would naturally increase significantly. After all, the City Lord's Mansion only had him and Gu Lie who were above the Human King Realm.

"Of course!" Smiling faintly, Zhuo Wen replied noncommittally.

"Alright then!

I will test the power of this puppet of yours. "

Gu Yue Tian was a straightforward person. When Zhuowen agreed, he got into his stance and the aura of an Earth King Realm expert burst out from his body.

The air in the courtyard suddenly froze. Many members of the Zhuo Family retreated continuously under this aura. Even Zhuo Xiangding and a few other members of the Zhuo Family's upper echelons bent their knees. Their faces were grave. Obviously, the aura of an Earth King Realm expert was too strong.

Zhuo Wen and Master Kuraki were probably the only two people who remained calm and collected.

Boom!

Gu Yue Tian's legs fiercely bounced off, as his entire body shot out like a spring. In an instant, he arrived above the puppet, as a whip leg flickered with a golden glow as it viciously swept downwards. In an instant, gusts of wind were stirred up, causing the expressions of several people to change.

"Is this an Earth King Realm expert?

I did not expect such a simple kick to be so powerful.

I'm afraid that Senior Zhuowen's puppet will not be able to withstand such a powerful attack! "

After seeing the power of Gu Yue Tian's kick, many of the younger generation in the courtyard revealed looks of awe and yearning.

As Gu Yue Tian's attack neared, the originally motionless puppet abruptly lowered its body, instantly dodging Gu Yue Tian's whip kick. Subsequently, its steel-like arms suddenly reached out, grabbing onto Gu Yue Tian's whip kick. With a ferocious twist of its shoulders, it viciously flung Gu Yue Tian away.

Feeling the powerful force under his feet, Gu Yue Tian's expression changed drastically. He wanted to break free, but he realized that the puppet's arms were as strong as steel. They were indestructible.

Boom!

Gu Yue Tian suddenly smashed into the ground. Under the powerful force, a deep pit was formed and dust filled the air.

Hiss!

The courtyard instantly quieted down. Then, Zhuo Xiangding and the crowd behind him sucked in a breath of cold air. They were somewhat shocked as they looked at Gu Yue Tian's figure in the deep pit.

Gu Yue Tian, the number one expert in Vine Armor City and an advanced Earth King Realm expert, was actually defeated by an ordinary looking puppet in one move. His figure was in a sorry state.

"Cough cough!

A Complete Earth King Realm puppet. I did not expect Zhuo Xiaoyou to have such a powerful puppet. "

Gu Yue Tian slowly walked out of the deep pit. His figure was in a sorry state, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face. He looked at Zhuowen with even more fear. He did not expect Zhuowen to have such a powerful puppet. It seemed that he had underestimated the young man in front of him!

Even Master Kuraki could not help but take another look at Zhuowen and the puppet behind him. Gu Yue Tian's strength was on par with his. If even Gu Yue Tian was defeated, then there was no need to talk about him.

"It seems that my disciple is quite amazing!" Although he looked surprised, Master Kuraki was quite proud of himself as he thought to himself.

"Lord Gu, I'm sorry for offending you just now!"

Zhuowen said apologetically as he cupped his hands. Once the puppet attacked, it was very difficult to control. Zhuowen did not expect Gu Yue Tian to be defeated so easily.

"It's okay!

In fact, I am not seriously injured. However, your Zhuo Family is lucky. With this Complete Earth King Realm puppet, I'm afraid that your Zhuo Family's strength will rise to another level. "Gu Yue Tian waved his hand and looked at the puppet with envy.

"I'm afraid it will not only rise to another level!"
