Chapter 95: Gathering of the Strong (Please Subscribe!!)

Zhao Ran's expression was calm.

"My husband is a man destined for great things; naturally, the more descendants, the better."

Regarding all this, Zhao Ran's demeanor remained very calm.

Beside them, Chen Fengru revealed a smile: "You girl, you certainly see things clearly."

"I simply know what I want."

Beside them, the Jubei King laughed heartily.

As long as Zhao Ran could be persuaded, nothing else was a problem.

However, he looked at Zhao Ran and spoke slowly: "You carry an Immortal Corpse Bone on your person?"

Zhao Ran did not speak.

"Nowadays, the entire pugilistic world knows; the people from the Wind and Rain Tower have already arrived, and many Grandmasters have also come to Fenglan."

Only then did Zhao Ran's brows knit tightly together: "Does Qi Lin need to follow you back to Jubei City?"

Inside Jubei City, there is an army of three hundred thousand.

There are also many experts; staying in Jubei City would be much safer for Qi Lin.

"That depends on Qi Lin's own thoughts, but before he obtains the Immortal Corpse Bone, he likely will not return to Jubei City," the Jubei King sighed softly.

Zhao Ran did not speak.

"You need not worry either; I still have some face, and I know a few old fellows—protecting your life is still doable," the Jubei King said.

He only spoke of protecting Zhao Ran's life; he did not say he would protect the Immortal Corpse Bone.

"I am only worried that my husband will be caught in the crossfire; he has always liked a peaceful life," Zhao Ran's voice was very soft.

Zhao Ran's cold, clear gaze became resolute at this moment.

It seems it is time for the Gold Cloud Sword to be unsheathed.

Naturally, she would not allow anyone to disturb her husband, let alone harm him.

Just then, Lin Chao pushed the door open and entered: "Little Ran."

He called out, his gaze falling upon the Jubei King: "Grandfather, you have come as well."

"It has been a few years; you lad have grown even more handsome—I fear you are even more dashing than that Two-Yang Finger Li Huanyun," the Jubei King laughed heartily.

Two-Yang Finger Li Huanyun is a young expert on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

His strength is extraordinary, and he is exceptionally handsome; recently, he has gained quite a reputation in the pugilistic world.

"Grandfather, you are still as vigorous as ever."

The Jubei King smiled: "I am old; my face is full of wrinkles."

Chen Fengru interjected at this moment: "Wrinkles are the traces that time leaves on a man."

For some reason, upon hearing Chen Fengru's words, a famous quote welled up in Lin Chao's heart.

Wrinkles are inherent to men.

Of course, he did not say it out loud.

After exchanging pleasantries with his grandfather, the Jubei King spoke: "Qi Lin, I have arranged a marriage for you."

"In a few days, it will be the Fenglan Temple Fair; you should dress up nicely and meet that girl."

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Ran.

Yet he discovered that Zhao Ran's gaze was very calm, without a trace of surprise.

"Husband, do what you should do, what you want to do; I will always support you," a smile appeared on Zhao Ran's face.

Her smile was sincere.

At night, Lin Chao held Zhao Ran's bare body; her face was flushed, her forehead still had some fine sweat, and her hair was stuck to it, adding a touch of allure.

"I have had a new marriage arranged for me; do you have no thoughts on this?"

"Husband is no ordinary person, and this concubine is also no ordinary person," Zhao Ran looked at Lin Chao, her eyes filled with intense affection and attachment.

As a lonely assassin, Zhao Ran had always lived alone; having the feeling of a home is truly wonderful.

Zhao Ran lacked a home, and she also lacked someone to rely on.

"Little Ran," Lin Chao pulled Zhao Ran closer and kissed her.

This world is a reincarnation simulation, yet the person before his eyes is so real.

In a restaurant in Fenglan Wangcheng, the Severed-Finger Guest was drinking wine.

Beside him, Silver Snake looked at the Severed-Finger Guest, a smile curling on his face: "Li Huanyun, it has been a long time; why have you become so sentimental?"

Silver Snake is an assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower.

The Li Huanyun before him is a young talent in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Silver Snake had once challenged Li Huanyun's Two-Yang Finger and ended up defeated.

But regarding Li Huanyun's Two-Yang Finger, Silver Snake was incomparably curious.

"Don't mention it; half a month ago, I lost to a woman," Li Huanyun sighed, a beautiful silhouette appearing in his mind.

That woman, judging by her attire, was clearly someone from the Demonic Path.

At the time, the two of them saw eye to eye, and the dry wood caught fire.

Unfortunately, when he woke up, the beauty was no longer there.

This gave Li Huanyun a great sense of frustration.

It was the first time he had encountered such a person.

"Oh, what kind of woman?" Silver Snake became interested.

"I only know that her name is Susu." A look of infatuation flashed through Li Huanyun's eyes.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the restaurant.

Not long after, a group of people walked in.

Upon seeing that group, Yin She and Li Huanyun's expressions changed slightly.

Especially Yin She; she immediately walked forward with a respectful look on her face: "Greetings, Tower Master."

One of the people who arrived was, shockingly, the Wind and Rain Tower Master.

The Wind and Rain Tower Master glanced at Yin She and nodded slightly: "How is it going?"

"We have already investigated Mu Yu's current residence and the identity she is using for camouflage."

"Good." The Wind and Rain Tower Master nodded.

Beside them, Wei Great General Cao Wuji wore a smile: "Wind and Rain Tower is truly worthy of being the world's number one assassin organization; the efficiency is indeed fast."

"I must take back the Immortal Corpse Bone in Mu Yu's possession." Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike looked at Cao Wuji, "This is an order from the Empress Dowager."

Hearing Su Yunqiong, a look of wariness appeared on Cao Wuji's face: "I can choose not to take the one in Mu Yu's hands, but the Immortal Corpse Bone of Fenglan..."

"Then it depends on each person's ability, does it not?" A hearty voice came, and the person who arrived was none other than the Qingkong Mountain Master, a powerhouse at the Grandmaster realm.

The small inn now held three powerhouses at the Grandmaster realm.

The three top-tier Grandmaster powerhouses exchanged pleasantries and entered a private room.

"With the strength of you two, wouldn't annihilating the Fenglan Royal Family be as easy as turning over one's hand?" Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike laughed.

He naturally hoped to see Cao Wuji and the Qingkong Mountain Master take action against the Fenglan Royal Family.

But at this moment, Cao Wuji's expression became solemn: "Fenglan Wangcheng is not that simple."

"Could it be that Brother Cao believes the rumors that the Heavenly Human is still alive?" The Qingkong Mountain Master's eyes held a smile.

"Not so." Cao Wuji shook his head, "Nearly two years ago, I once dispatched the Tai Nan Si Gui to Fenglan Wangcheng to capture the Fenglan Princess.

However, the Tai Nan Si Gui were all killed.

Their wounds were very peculiar; it seemed they were killed by paper, and other than that, there were no external injuries on their bodies."

"Paper?" The Qingkong Mountain Master's expression finally turned solemn.

Killing with paper is something they can also do at their level of cultivation.

However, they could not kill the Tai Nan Si Gui with paper.

The Tai Nan Si Gui were, after all, two Grandmasters and two First Grade experts.

Even if a Grandmaster powerhouse were to strike, it would take some effort to Slay them.

"The most peculiar thing is that I saw traces of the Golden Cloud Sword Technique on the wounds of the Tai Nan Si Gui."

"What?" The Wind and Rain Tower Master's expression changed drastically.

He naturally knew the Golden Cloud Sword Technique.

He had even practiced the Golden Cloud Sword Technique.

In fact, Mu Yu's Golden Cloud Sword Technique was taught to her by him.

The reason he practiced the Golden Cloud Sword Technique was because, many years ago, the Three-Color Pavilion was annihilated.

A mysterious powerhouse who used a blade, a sword, and a Spear annihilated the Three-Color Pavilion single-handedly.

The Three-Color Pavilion Master, a powerhouse at the Grandmaster realm, along with over a dozen Grandmasters and dozens of First Grade experts, were all Slain.

Moreover, the Three-Color Pavilion Master died by the Golden Cloud Sword Technique.

Now, a mysterious powerhouse had appeared in Fenglan Wangcheng, and they were using the Golden Cloud Sword Technique; it was naturally easy to make the connection.

That mysterious powerhouse from six years ago had actually left traces in Fenglan.

The three Grandmasters present all had their expressions change slightly, becoming wary.

"Have you found out the identity of that person?" Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike looked at Cao Wuji with a complex gaze.

He knew about Cao Wuji dispatching the Tai Nan Si Gui at the time.

But he did not know that the Tai Nan Si Gui had died at the hands of that person.

"No." Cao Wuji shook his head.

Beside them, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in the eyes of the Qingkong Mountain Master: "No matter who he is, anyone who blocks me from obtaining the Immortal Corpse Bone must die!"

The Qingkong Mountain Master had suffered a very serious injury in his youth, and now he was old, his life force and blood energy fading.

If he did not obtain the Immortal Corpse Bone, he would not live for many more years.

Therefore, he no longer had a way back.

"The whereabouts of the Tianji Pavilion Master and the Iron Blood Hall Master are unknown.

We must still be careful that someone else doesn't reap the benefits.

Tonight, we must discuss the matter of the Immortal Corpse Bone carefully."

"Tomorrow night is the Fenglan Temple Fair, the liveliest time in Fenglan; we can certainly add some Fire to this excitement."

……

Fenglan Royal Palace.

Wu Xiangyi sat before a bronze mirror; on the not-so-clear, bright mirror surface, one could see a stunningly beautiful face.

At this moment, Wu Xiangyi held the Luofan Sutra in her hands and began to read it slowly.

"Princess, the Sovereign has sent word that tomorrow at the Fenglan Temple Fair, you are to meet with the Jubei King Heir."

"Very well." Wu Xiangyi responded without much reaction, continuing to read the book that was missing a few pages.

Perhaps life is also like this book; only by missing a few pages is it truly life.
