Chapter 468: Heaven Opening Axe

Zhang Nuo walked slowly up to Wei Shang, only to see that this once arrogant Palace Master of Taixu Palace was now, one could say, miserable to the extreme! His hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, and his complexion was as unsightly as dead ash! Only a face full of anger remained, still revealing a few traces of the domineering aura he once possessed!

Reaching out to cast a spell, Zhang Nuo undid the restriction that bound his ability to speak!

"Zhang Nuo! If you have the ability, then kill me with one strike!"

It was unknown how long he had been stifled in the bag; as soon as Wei Shang could speak, he roared loudly at Zhang Nuo! His eyes were wide open, his eyeballs almost popping out!

"You want to seek death! What is difficult about that!"

Zhang Nuo was not angry; he leaned down, a victor's smile hanging on his face as he said indifferently:

"Back then, you wanted to put me to death without even asking about right or wrong! Did you ever think this day would come?"

"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit! There is no point in saying more! Do it!"

Although Wei Shang had now become a prisoner, his heroic spirit still made Zhang Nuo feel a bit of admiration!

"I will ask you a few questions now. If you answer truthfully, Zhang can give you a quick end!"

"What questions?"

Wei Shang was now like someone barefoot who didn't fear those wearing shoes; either way, it was death, so what was there that couldn't be said?

"Back then, you gave Wei Juren a Magic Treasure named 'Heaven Splitting Scissors!' I don't know if you have any other Magic Treasures of the same type in your possession! You should know what I am talking about; don't beat around the bush!"

Zhang Nuo had long admired the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set, but he was still two pieces short of completing it. Since Wei Juren's 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' were given by Wei Shang, it was very likely that the other two pieces existed on him!

"You actually know about the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set! Fine! In my Storage Bag, there is still a 'Heaven Opening Axe,' as for the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer,' I don't know its whereabouts!"

Zhang Nuo was delighted upon hearing this. He hurriedly took the Storage Bag from Wei Shang's body, opened the bag's mouth, and swept his Divine Sense inside. Sure enough, an exquisite little axe was inside!

With a 'whoosh,' the 'Heaven Opening Axe' transformed into a green light and flew out! Zhang Nuo took advantage of the momentum and grabbed it in his hand! He examined it carefully and saw that the axe body was half a foot in size! It was entirely green, and the axe blade occupied almost half of its total length!

"It is indeed excellent, exactly the same as recorded in the Jade Slip!"

Zhang Nuo handed the small axe to Su Haizhen. Su Haizhen received it, examined it carefully, and nodded repeatedly. In this way, Zhang Nuo had collected three pieces! As long as he found the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer,' the complete Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set would appear in the world once again!

"One last thing to ask you! Does your Taixu Palace's secret technique have a complete cultivation method Jade Slip..."

Before Zhang Nuo could finish his words, he saw Wei Shang's old face turn red with anger, his lips trembling slightly as he said:

"You... you actually still want to scheme for my Taixu Palace's secret technique! To tell you the truth, this set of secret techniques has no Jade Slip at all; it was only passed down orally to me by the previous generation's Palace Master. Furthermore, a restriction was placed in my mind, so it is impossible for you to obtain the complete cultivation method! Give up on that thought!"

"Oh! Since that is the case, then don't blame Zhang!"

His gaze suddenly turned cold. Zhang Nuo's five fingers clawed toward Wei Shang's crown, and at the same time, spiritual light flashed between his fingers; it looked like he wanted to perform a 'Soul Search' on him!

"Hmph! If you want to search, then come!"

Wei Shang actually didn't show the slightest bit of fear, his eyes tightly shut, revealing a look of resignation to death! Zhang Nuo's hand, which was halfway there, slowly stopped! Looking at his appearance, what Wei Shang said before should all be true!

"Forget it! Fellow Daoist Wei can be considered a hero of his generation! Zhang will give you a decent way to die!"

The palm hanging in mid-air changed from a claw to a palm and struck down toward Wei Shang's head! 'Slap'! A crisp sound of a palm strike echoed in the hall, and immediately, a blood-red palm print appeared on Wei Shang's forehead! A generation of Taixu Palace Palace Master died with hatred just like that!

Until the moment of his death, Wei Shang could not understand: how vast was the momentum of the Taixu Palace back then, so why couldn't they kill a mere Zhang Nuo? Was it really Heaven's will?

Zhang Nuo looked at the corpse on the ground. He reached out with his right hand, and countless tender green branches rushed out from his palm, wrapping around Wei Shang's body on the ground, and then pulled it into the Divine Tree! Regardless, this was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator; although the person was dead, the Nascent Soul inside his body was still useful!

"Why didn't you really use the Soul Searching Technique on him? You might have been able to get some useful information?"

Su Haizhen was greatly puzzled.

"The moment I made a move on him, I felt that what he said was not false. Since that is the case, why bother? Regardless, Wei Shang was also a Palace Master of a generation!"

With his hands behind his back, he looked toward the entrance of the hall! Zhang Nuo's gaze shot all the way to the sky! At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart! Even if one cultivated to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, so what? Once one encountered a powerful opponent, one would similarly become a prisoner; Wei Shang was the best example!

If one did not want to be suppressed by others, one had to improve one's own strength! In this world, the weak are the prey of the strong; whoever has the harder fist can speak the loudest!

Sighing lightly, Zhang Nuo slowly turned around and said to the two women:

"In a while, I plan to go into seclusion! I am afraid I will have to entrust the affairs of the pavilion to you both!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo suddenly become somewhat dejected, Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao were both greatly puzzled! However, Su Haizhen smiled sweetly, walked up to Zhang Nuo, and said softly:

"It is fine for my husband to go into seclusion! But you must handle one thing first!"

Looking at her mysterious appearance, Zhang Nuo was stunned for a moment!

"What is it?"

"Just now, I told Sister Ye about your thoughts! Even if you are in a hurry to go into seclusion, you must marry her first!"

In front of the two of them, as soon as Su Haizhen finished speaking, Ye Yuemiao's face turned red instantly, and Zhang Nuo also felt very uncomfortable! Looking at the blushing young girl, his heart jumped violently several times!

"This..."

Zhang Nuo was speechless for a moment! After a long time, he did not say a single word.

"What is this? I will handle the wedding matters! You two just wait for the good news!"

Su Haizhen was now acting just like a matchmaker, moving between Zhang Nuo and Ye Yuemiao! It left both of them speechless! After a long time, Zhang Nuo's excited mood finally calmed down. He looked at Su Haizhen and said:

"Haizhen! You and I became Dual Cultivation partners at the 'Nine Nether Cold Pool,' but there was no formal ceremony. How about this? Let the three of us hold a wedding together, how about that?"

"I think this is excellent! Sister Su should also participate!"

Before Su Haizhen could answer, Ye Yuemiao blinked her lively eyes and interjected.

"I don't think that is necessary! We are an old married couple! Besides, if I also participate, then who will handle the arrangements?"

With an embarrassed look on her face, the affair between Su Haizhen and Zhang Nuo was known to almost everyone on the Xianhuan Continent. If they held another grand wedding, what would that be!

"Don't worry about what others say! As long as we are happy, that is all that matters! Besides, Elder Liu and the others can help us with the arrangements! Leave this matter to me! You two just need to get ready!"

Zhang Nuo laughed and walked out of Yulong Hall, his face filled with a happy expression. Taking two wives at once, this was something others could only dream of!

Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao looked at each other, both having an indescribable feeling! If it was happiness, there was still a little bit of fear in their hearts; if they said they didn't want it, their hearts were praying for this day to come quickly!

In Liu Qingshan's Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo stood face-to-face with him. After he spoke about the marriage, Liu Qingshan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth!

"Pavilion Master! How many years has it been, our Giant Spirit Pavilion hasn't had any happy events! Your marriage this time can be said to be the biggest happy event! We must hold a grand celebration! Leave this matter to me!"

"I have always trusted Elder Liu's handling of affairs! It is just that besides this matter, I also need Elder Liu to help me handle two things in secret! This matter is of great importance and must not leak even a bit of wind!"

Zhang Nuo's originally smiling face suddenly became serious!

"Please speak, Pavilion Master!"

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Liu Qingshan also restrained his smile! He just did not understand in his heart, now that the Great Underworld Mansion had been eliminated, what else could be so important?

Zhang Nuo flipped one hand, and as rosy light surged in his palm, two Jade Slips appeared immediately!

"Among these two Jade Slips, one records the person to be found, and I have also written the detailed conditions inside; as for the second one, it requires many precious materials!"

After taking the Jade Slips, Liu Qingshan's Divine Sense first sank into the first Jade Slip, and after a moment, he withdrew his Divine Sense with a face full of astonishment, letting out a low exclamation:

"Pure Yang Body! This... this old man has never even heard of it!"

"Correct! That is exactly the matter! This affair must be carried out closely; there must not be the slightest mistake!"

Zhang Nuo nodded solemnly; now that the affairs of the Xianhuan Continent had finally come to an end, his next step was to find a Pure Yang Body for Chunyangzi!

Thinking carefully for a moment, Liu Qingshan did not dare to ask more, and immediately sank his Divine Sense into the second Jade Slip again! After reading the contents within, his mouth hung wide open, and he did not recover for a long time!

"Rebuilding a physical body! Who is this prepared for?"

As for the contents of the second Jade Slip, Liu Qingshan did understand a little; this was a list of materials specifically prepared for Demon Sect cultivators to rebuild their physical bodies. Other materials were easy to discuss, but the final item—nine cultivators with special constitutions who had practiced Demonic Arts their entire lives—was extremely difficult to find!

"You do not need to ask about this! Zhang will not do anything to harm the Giant Spirit Pavilion!"

Zhang Nuo was deeply afraid that Liu Qingshan would grow suspicious.

"Pavilion Master, do not misunderstand! I have no other meaning! The Pavilion Master has risked life and limb for the Giant Spirit Pavilion! If not for you, there would not be the Giant Spirit Pavilion of today! Very well! This old man will do his best to handle it! However, the time might be a bit long!"

"The time can be long! But the items in the Jade Slip must not be missing a single one! And they cannot be replaced!"

Looking at Liu Qingshan's troubled expression, Zhang Nuo spoke once more.
