Chapter 207 - 204: Who Exactly Are You?

The glamorous young girl was petrified. She was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl; when had she ever seen such a scene? "Who... who exactly are you people?"

The brocade-robed young man was also feeling a lingering fear and began to step backward. "I’m telling you, I am Lu Ji of the Lu family, the biological grandson of the Lu family’s Patriarch!"

Seeing Mo Qianqian’s indifferent expression, as if he had never heard the name before, the young man hurriedly explained further, "My Lu family is of imperial relation! My aunt is the current Emperor’s most favored Consort, Princess Consort Lu! Our Lu family even has experts in the Void Spirit Realm. If you dare touch me, not only will you die, but your entire clans will be exterminated!"

Emboldened by the young man’s words, the glamorous girl shouted at Mo Qianqian, "That’s right! Nine generations of your family will be executed! Hurry up and kowtow to apologize to my young master!"

SLAP!

With another resounding slap, the brocade-robed young man was sent sprawling to the ground, kicking up another cloud of dust. Blood sprayed from the corner of his mouth.

"Y-you..." The glamorous girl panicked. She hadn’t expected that even after announcing her young master’s identity and the Lu family’s name, the other party would still dare to strike.

"You..." The young man on the ground was both shocked and furious. He couldn’t believe they had actually dared to lay a hand on him.

However, in the next moment, Mo Qianqian channeled his Spirit Body and stomped directly on the young man’s crotch, completely crushing a certain part.

"AHHH!!!"

The young man let out a bloodcurdling shriek like a pig being slaughtered.

"Young Master, Young Master! What’s wrong, Young Master..." The glamorous girl hurriedly rushed over to support him.

"It’s crushed! My manhood is crushed! He ruined me! AHHH!!!" the young man howled in agony.

"What?" Her face was filled with utter disbelief. To think that there was actually someone in this world who dared to harm her young master. In her eyes, her young master was a god whom no one dared to provoke. Anyone who dared to disobey him had been killed by the Lu family. Yet, this youth before her had actually shattered her young master’s manhood.

"Who knows how many people you’ve ruined. Suffering just this bit of torment makes you lucky. Now, you can die." As Mo Qianqian spoke, his Spirit Body placed a foot on the young man’s neck. He didn’t crush it instantly but slowly applied downward pressure.

"Y-you..." Pinned to the ground by a single foot, the young man couldn’t get up; the harder he struggled, the more it hurt. Feeling himself suffocating, true terror finally gripped him. The other party really intended to kill him!

"Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I am the young master of the Lu family! I can give you whatever you want..."

SQUELCH!

Before the young man could finish, his neck was snapped completely, and blood spurted wildly. The young master of the Lu family died on the spot.

"Ah..." The twelve or thirteen-year-old glamorous girl slumped onto the ground, completely dumbfounded. Her young master... had been killed?

"What about her?" Xia Liu looked at the glamorous girl.

"She’s also a pitiful person. Her mind was poisoned by that animal before she even fully matured. Let her fend for herself." Saying that, Mo Qianqian stepped forward and began to search the corpses.

He found quite a few pills on the guards and the brocade-robed young man. There were no less than four Third-Grade Lower-Level Tongyou Pills and over a dozen second-grade pills. Mo Qianqian directly gave half of them to Xia Liu.

"Let’s go!" Ignoring the girl, Mo Qianqian glanced at Xia Liu and quickened his pace toward the Imperial City.

Although the glamorous girl was pitiful, she was also an accomplice. Who knew how many people she had helped the young man harm. Leaving her to fend for herself was enough. Without the young man’s backing, even if she survived, she probably wouldn’t have an easy life.

The place where the bodies lay was still some distance from the Imperial City; the city gates weren’t even visible from there. Before long, Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu successfully entered the Imperial City.

Upon entering, they were greeted by a bustling scene. Shops lined both sides of the streets, pedestrians bustled about, and the cries of merchants hawking their wares filled the air. The liveliness here was even greater than that of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Imperial City.

"Extra, extra! Someone from the Great Shang Dynasty has blocked the gates of Master Lu Zhi’s residence to challenge his disciples!"

"What? Someone from the Great Shang Dynasty? Could it be some Spirit Master genius?"

"I don’t know who it is, but they say they want to have a betting match with Master Lu Zhi’s residence. The stakes are Master Lu Zhi’s Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the Jade Spirit Pearl."

"The Jade Spirit Pearl? Isn’t that the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Master Lu Zhi prepared for Yan Lingshan to break through to become a Third-Grade Spirit Master? They want to wager for the Jade Spirit Pearl? How could Master Lu Zhi possibly agree?"

"They must have offered a massive price. Let’s go see."

At this moment, the crowd surged, striding quickly down the street.

Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Mo Qianqian’s eyes lit up. The Jade Spirit Pearl? An item capable of helping one break through to become a Third-Grade Spirit Master? Although he didn’t know exactly what this Jade Spirit Pearl was, the fact that it could aid in breaking through to the third grade was enough. He had been stuck at the peak of the Second-Grade Spirit Master realm for a long time, and already had half a foot into the Third-Grade Spirit Master realm. However, without the corresponding pills or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he still hadn’t crossed that threshold.

And right here, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure capable of allowing a Second-Grade Spirit Master to ascend to the third grade had actually appeared!

"Someone from the Great Shang Dynasty came for a betting match? Could it be Xie Shiming?" Mo Qianqian muttered to himself.

Xie Shiming was a Spirit Master genius of the Great Shang Dynasty who had once caused trouble at the Spirit Master Banquet and possessed the Heaven-Burning Spiritual Source. In the Spirit Master Realm, Xie Shiming was absolutely a top-tier prodigy. Hearing that the Great Zhou Dynasty had a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for breaking through to the third grade, and with challengers from the Great Shang Dynasty appearing, it might really be him.

"Are we just going to steal it?" Xia Liu asked from beside him. With such an item present, it was impossible for Mo Qianqian not to snatch it.

"Let’s go take a look," Mo Qianqian said.

Following the crowd, Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu hurried toward Master Lu Zhi’s residence. Before long, the two arrived in front of a sprawling compound. The perimeter was already packed with people.

Opposite the compound’s entrance stood four people: an old man and three young men. The old man wore a gray robe, his long white hair smooth and remarkably elegant. One of the young men was dressed in white. He was tall, handsome, and suave, holding a folding fan with graceful poise.

Mo Qianqian recognized these two at a glance.

"Xie Shiming and Hu Boxiang!" Mo Qianqian couldn’t help but exclaim. It really was the master and disciple duo! As for the other two young men, they were unfamiliar faces.

Standing at the compound’s entrance opposite the four was another group of people. There were over a dozen of them, including many young men with extraordinary temperaments. Waves of heated discussion rose from all around.

"Huo Wenfeng, Yan Lingshan, and Nan Shiyin! With three Second-Grade Spirit Masters fighting, the Great Shang Dynasty will undoubtedly lose!"

"And it’s a consecutive-win betting match. In my opinion, Huo Wenfeng alone can sweep through all three from the Great Shang Dynasty. There’s no need for Yan Lingshan and Nan Shiyin to even step up."

"All three are top ten figures on the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Genius Rankings, with Nan Shiyin ranked third. Last time, he almost advanced to the Third-Grade Spirit Master realm, just missing it by a hair’s breadth. Even someone at the First Level of the Tongyou Realm wouldn’t be his match. I don’t know where these three from the Great Shang Dynasty found the courage to come and challenge them, even wagering a Yellow Spirit Crystal."

"Isn’t it out of greed? They want Master Lu Zhi’s Jade Spirit Pearl. Master Lu Zhi has explicitly said he’s preparing to leave it for Yan Lingshan."

"Let’s not underestimate the people of the Great Shang Dynasty. If they dared to come, they must also be top-tier prodigies of their dynasty."

"No matter how prodigious, they couldn’t possibly defeat those three."
