Chapter 204 - 201: Don’t Be Nervous

SWOOSH!

The Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level General moved, charging toward Mo Qianqian.

Lao Liu also swept Mo Qianqian along, rushing toward the general.

"Kill him! He’s injured! We must kill him; we absolutely cannot let him escape!!!"

The yellow-robed elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the Void Spirit Realm First Layer roared thunderously. His aura erupted, knocking back one Quasi-Space Spirit Realm expert after another.

"Kill!" Wu Rong also roared, clashing fiercely with Su Xiujin.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Black Dragon Army’s Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level General brandished his longsword in a flurry, constantly repelling everyone who charged at them. After all, the enemy simply didn’t have anyone capable of stopping him. Furthermore, most of them were tied down by the forces of Black Dragon City.

In no time, Mo Qianqian was carried away from the battlefield by the Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level General, flying off into the distance. However, many onlookers and a few experts still followed them.

Some distance away from Jingshui Town, a white-robed elder suddenly shot into the sky from the forest ahead, blocking the path of Mo Qianqian and the other two.

"Mo Qianqian, is the Ninefold Coffin on you?" the white-robed elder asked in a deep voice.

The voice sounded familiar to Mo Qianqian. It was none other than the elder from the second-floor VIP box who had bid fifty drops of Liquid of Chaos.

Mo Qianqian frowned and explained, "Senior, that day outside Black Dragon City, everyone saw with their own eyes that I threw the Ninefold Coffin away.

"Senior Black Dragon and the Sect Leaders of the two great powers all went in pursuit of Mu Chen. With their discerning eyes, they couldn’t possibly be mistaken. That item is truly not with me.

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chased after Mu Chen; they would have come after me instead."

Although the explanation was perfectly reasonable, the white-robed elder still insisted, "Then let this old man search you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of a Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level erupted from the white-robed elder.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Several other people rushed over from the surroundings as well. There were Void Spirit Realm experts and high-level Tongyou Realm cultivators. The group was disorganized, clearly not belonging to a single faction. They were all people looking to snatch the treasure.

Mo Qianqian’s expression changed. There was one Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level, several Void Spirit Realm First Layers, and a dozen high-level Tongyou Realm experts. There were also others approaching who hadn’t made a move yet. He currently had little combat power left; he was in huge trouble. Moreover, behind them, the people from the Imperial Alliance were still charging in their direction. The battlefield was shifting.

"Everyone," Mo Qianqian suddenly spoke up. "If I let you search me, and the item isn’t on me, will you let me leave?"

Fighting head-on was impossible; he needed to outsmart them. He didn’t believe they would be able to detect the Ninefold Coffin inside his body.

"Kill!"

However, before the others could reply, another group charged over with murderous intent. There were over a dozen people, including six Void Spirit Realm experts, one of whom was a Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level expert.

"The people from Cyan Cloud Mountain!" The Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level General’s expression drastically changed.

Mo Qianqian’s expression also contorted in shock. To think the people from Cyan Cloud Mountain had actually made a move too!

SWOOSH!

Right at that moment, a figure rushed toward Mo Qianqian at an even faster speed. That speed was far, far faster than Wu Rong’s earlier!

The person’s face was covered by a cloth. However, his physique betrayed him. He was a short, chubby elder, wearing a loose merchant robe exactly like Zhu Biquan’s. Coupled with his lightning-fast speed, no one would believe it if they were told this wasn’t Zhu Biquan, the President of the Eternal Commerce Association.

Mo Qianqian’s expression changed again. Could it be that Zhu Biquan also wanted to attack him?

"Don’t be nervous. I’ll get you out of here!" the short, chubby, masked elder in the merchant robe suddenly said as he rushed toward Mo Qianqian.

The voice was deliberately lowered, but it was still reminiscent of Zhu Biquan’s voice.

Mo Qianqian kept his guard up, but given his current condition, he was completely unable to defend against such a powerhouse. Beside him, the Void Spirit Realm Fourth Level General who had charged to the front to meet the enemy wore a solemn expression. He was also on guard, unsure if Zhu Biquan was here to help or attack Mo Qianqian.

In the end, however, he chose to believe Zhu Biquan’s words. Because even he had absolutely no way of dealing with a Seventh Level of Void Spirit Realm expert.

At that moment, the short, chubby, masked elder grabbed Mo Qianqian’s arm. Seeing that the other party didn’t attack directly but merely grabbed him, Mo Qianqian did not resist. At the same time, Lao Liu on the other side suddenly grabbed his other arm as well.

SWOOSH!

The short, chubby, masked elder burst forward, darting through the gaps in the crowd and dragging Mo Qianqian and Lao Liu away toward the horizon.

"Chase them!!!"

An expert from Cyan Cloud Mountain roared, and a group of people hurriedly chased after Mo Qianqian.

However, how could they possibly match the speed of a Seventh Level of Void Spirit Realm expert? Before long, Mo Qianqian, dragged by the short, chubby, masked elder, had distanced himself from the crowd. Taking a few detours along the way, they completely lost their pursuers.

En route, Mo Qianqian watched as the short, chubby, masked elder directly pulled the cloth off his face. As expected, it was the President of the Eternal Commerce Association, Zhu Biquan.

"Thank you for saving us, Elder Zhu!" Mo Qianqian expressed his gratitude. Yet, in his heart, he remained vigilant toward the older man.

Zhu Biquan hadn’t attacked him yet, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility that he might. After all, the temptation of a peerless supreme treasure like the Ninefold Coffin was simply too great. Even with just a sliver of suspicion, many people would want to make a move on him.

"Don’t worry. This old man said he would save you, so he saved you," Zhu Biquan said. "Our Eternal Commerce Association aims to make money. We don’t like fighting and killing, and we won’t lay a hand on you."

Only then did Mo Qianqian let out a small sigh of relief, though he still asked cautiously, "Then how should this junior repay you, Elder Zhu?"

"You owe me a favor. In the future, if the need arises, just lend a hand to my Eternal Commerce Association," Zhu Biquan said in an indifferent tone. "Investing in a monstrous genius of your caliber is far more valuable than anything else."

"Elder Zhu saved my life. I, Mo Qianqian, will definitely etch this kindness into my heart. If there is ever anything you need, Elder Zhu, just give the order," Mo Qianqian said sincerely.

Even though Zhu Biquan only wanted to "invest" in his future, repaying kindness was a fundamental principle by which he lived. Hearing the other party speak like this, the anxiety hanging in Mo Qianqian’s heart finally settled.

"Zhu Daoren is my grandson. If you get the chance, please lend him a hand too," Zhu Biquan added.

"Rest assured. Brother Zhu has helped me as well," Mo Qianqian replied.

So Zhu Daoren really was related to Zhu Biquan—he was his grandson.

While pulling Mo Qianqian and the other rapidly through the air, Zhu Biquan looked toward Lao Liu and asked, "Are you the Black Dragon’s daughter?"

Hearing this, Mo Qianqian was taken aback, his face revealing deep astonishment. Lao Liu was actually the Black Dragon’s daughter?

"How... how did you know?"

Let alone Mo Qianqian, even Lao Liu herself looked shocked. But Lao Liu’s response also confirmed Zhu Biquan’s words. Lao Liu truly was the Black Dragon’s daughter!

"I guessed!" Zhu Biquan said.

Lao Liu was speechless.

Mo Qianqian, on the other hand, had a face full of disbelief. Who could have possibly imagined that Lao Liu was the Black Dragon’s daughter? If there wasn’t a specific reason, how could Zhu Biquan have guessed it so instantly? However, since he wasn’t willing to say, there was no way to know the reason.

"I don’t know why the people from your Long family came here, but you’ll return sooner or later, won’t you?" Zhu Biquan continued, changing the subject.
