Chapter 468: Ning Xue is About to Leave
As these words were spoken, the world fell silent!
Is this something that can be openly said? What request did Zhou Tong just make?
He actually wanted the Profound Sky Hall to kill the current hall master and then support his ally to take over. How crazy is that?
“I disagree; you shouldn’t even think about it!”
Xuan Qiubai immediately rejected, “This is an internal matter of ours, and you have no right to interfere.”
“Fantastic!”
Zhou Tong clapped his hands, “Whether to hand over Miao Wu is also our internal matter, and you equally have no right to meddle.”
“Ha ha ha…”
After the confrontation, the old man was so angry that his chest heaved, and blood dribbled from the corner of his mouth.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll go all out against you?”
With no other choice, he could only make a final threat.
“I’m so scared… I’m afraid you won’t go all out against me!”
Zhou Tong’s face showed urgency: “Could you please do something rather than just talk? My hands are itching!”
Seeing this scene, everyone in the world had extremely grave expressions.
Zhou Tong had provoked the Peak Sage several times and seemed eager to fight him. Did he really reach a level where he could match up with him?
As soon as this question arose, it was immediately dismissed, for that was impossible.
People were wary of Zhou Tong, entirely in awe of the “peerless strongman” behind him. Until now, most believed that Zhou Tong’s pure strength would not exceed that of an ordinary Sage.
This was perfectly reasonable; after all, his age is such that reaching this level before twenty is already an astonishing achievement!
At this very moment, Zhou Tong was staring intently at Xuan Qiubai, feeling quite serious inside.
Through the clash, he discovered that the Eighth Layer of Sage was no longer his opponent, but the Sage Peak was at least three tiers higher than the Eighth Layer. When it came to real combat, the outcome was still hard to predict.
Therefore, he activated the Void Self Realm, attempting to calculate the results of a confrontation, only to find himself plunged into chaos, indicating that the process was far too complex.
“Are you going to fight or not?”
Zhou Tong reminded, already poised for a fight.
“I have no plans for a large-scale battle today.”
Ultimately, Xuan Qiubai completely calmed down and casually tossed a spatial ring.
Zhou Tong used his spiritual power to hold it, giving it a brief scan. He saw vast wealth and the deed to Profound Yin Mountain, indicating that the other party was indeed not trying to be clever about it.
“Let’s go back to our usual ways!”
After calming down, Xuan Qiubai left a sentence before departing with a cold demeanor.
Clearly, he wanted to find a way to regain today’s face in the future, which made Zhou Tong feel somewhat amused.
“As you wish!”
He replied lightly, isolating the Heavenly Dao Image before slowly descending back to the floating island. Only now did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Master is mighty!”
The Li Family guards exclaimed in unison; the Profound Sky Hall had been subdued by the young master.
“Don’t be complacent. From today on, make the most of this wealth to quickly grow stronger. The Li Family needs more strong warriors to sustain it!”
Zhou Tong handed the ring to the Little Demoness. From now on, she would be the matriarch of the Li Family, and matters of resource control and distribution should be arranged solely by her.
“Obeying the master’s orders, we are willing to give our lives for the rise of the Li Family. We will not disappoint the master’s expectations!”
“Very good!”
Zhou Tong nodded and then looked at Xuan Ge, causing her to grow nervous.
“Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your strong protection. I cannot thank you enough!”
“No need; this is what I should do, for we are allies.”
Zhou Tong interrupted her words of gratitude and then asked, “I humiliated your grandfather and killed the offerings of your Profound Sky Hall; do you harbor hate?”
Hearing this, she immediately shook her head.
“They no longer want me. Since that’s the case, the past grievances are now severed. From today on, the name Xuan Ge is officially discarded. Brother Zhou, remember to call me Miao Wu from now on!”
“Excellent, Miss Miao Wu, welcome to your addition!”
As Zhou Tong spoke, he presented the cultivation of the Seventh Offering and asked, “Do you want to absorb this?”
“I…”
A complex look flashed in Miao Wu’s eyes, and then she closed her eyes in pain.
“No, there’s still a thorn in my heart. I cannot accept it for now. Please help find another master for it, Brother Zhou.”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Zhou Tong replied cheerfully, scanning the crowd before quickly focusing on the eagerly anticipant Empress.
“Your Majesty, you are the most compatible with this cultivation. Why not take it?”
“Sure! Thank you for the gift, Guest Senior!”
The Empress stepped forward without hesitation, and her joy was indescribable.
“Is she really the most compatible one?”
The Little Demoness suddenly remarked, her gaze playfully on Zhou Tong, as if she could see through his thoughts.
“Absolutely, absolutely! I’d be a little dog if I lie!”
Zhou Tong nodded repeatedly before pressing the beam of light into the Empress’s body.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Empress’s aura surged, directly rising from the First Layer of Sage to the Fifth Layer, stepping into the ranks of Intermediate Sages.
“This feeling is truly wonderful!”
The Empress looked at her palm, a bit excited, saying that the surging power within her told her she had become one of the top-tier strong persons of this world.
“Don’t be too happy too soon; only the power you can control truly belongs to you. Your strength has risen too quickly. If not restrained, you might accidentally hurt yourself. You still need to practice more in this regard.”
“Understood! I absolutely adore the Guest Senior!”
Suddenly, the Empress made a bold move, directly hugging Zhou Tong and kissing his cheek.
“Shameless!”
The Little Demoness instantly flew into a rage. This woman dared to act so presumptuously in front of her. If she weren’t there, who knows what the other party would have done!
“In a bit, if you dare to leave, let’s go out for a duel. If I don’t beat you until you’re blooming with peach blossoms, you won’t know why flowers are this red!”
“Hahaha!!”
Seeing this scene, the members of the Li Family couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Their young master truly was amazing; he could make two such outstanding women jealous, which was indeed admirable.
After a moment, the farce here concluded, and everyone returned to their places. Zhou Tong’s side quickly grew quiet.
“Hubby, I’m so tired. Let’s go back and rest.”
The Little Demoness smirked, leaning back against Zhou Tong, making the Empress grit her teeth.
“Disciple greets Master!”
At this moment, Zhong Ningxue came to Zhou Tong’s side and knelt on one knee sincerely.
Having integrated the cultivation of the Netherworld Master, her realm had reached the Second Layer of Sage, and her gaze had become much steadier.
“Are you planning to leave?”
Zhou Tong asked lightly, causing her to shiver all over.
“Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Master. My homeland has been occupied by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Race. Now, thanks to Master’s great fortune, I have gained the strength for revenge. I must lead my clan back to avenge our grievances, and then I will return to serve Master!”
“Is this your final decision?”
“I am an unfilial disciple. Please grant me this, Master!”
“Go then, be careful on your way!”
