Chapter 1108: Seeing City Lord Qingyu again

"Grandfather..."

Wu Xiu walked up in two or three steps: "Grandfather... you..."

"It's nothing!" Wu Zhanyun waved his hand: "It was I who was careless!"

"I didn't expect this child to have such talent?"

"Sigh... the thing one fears most in life is creating a powerful enemy for oneself!"

"One wrong step, and every step is wrong!"

Wu Xiu said: "Grandfather, don't worry too much. After all, he has only entered the top ten. To put it bluntly, if he stops here, his future achievements won't be that high!"

"Hmm, that makes some sense!" Wu Zhanyun breathed a deep sigh of relief.

That's right, the most powerful person on the entire Yu Emperor Star is the Golden Immortal Stage Lord Star Emperor.

Although He Pingsheng has entered the top ten of the Qiankun Immortal City, that's at most a ranking of one thousand on the entire Yu Emperor Star.

Such a person doesn't even have half a chance of entering the Golden Immortal Stage.

Since it is impossible to enter the Golden Immortal stage, it is highly probable that in the future, he will at most stop at the Profound Immortal, or even the Heavenly Immortal stage.

Nothing to worry about!

"Although that's true, I still feel a lingering unease!" Wu Zhanyun thought for a few breaths: "Xiuer, go call your junior uncles over; I have something to say!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiu walked out.

After the time it takes for two sticks of incense to burn, over a dozen Heavenly Immortal level immortals walked into Wu Zhanyun's Daoist field.

Wu Zhanyun was a Profound Immortal powerhouse with a lifespan of ten million years. He had lived for who knows how many years and couldn't remember how many disciples he had taken in.

But in the end, only these dozen or so had grown to the Heavenly Immortal level.

Not many, but not few either.

"Greetings, Master!" Everyone kowtowed toward Wu Zhanyun.

Wu Zhanyun said: "Rise!"

"Sigh... I summoned you here today because I have done something wrong!"

"I must make it clear to you!"

"A few days ago, I was possessed by a ghost and snatched a token from a Human Immortal cultivator—it was the very token for Wu Xiu's direct entry into the Yu Emperor Star Sword Trial Grand Competition!"

"Sigh... I regret it too late!"

"Now, the owner of that token, He Pingsheng, has relied on his own heaven-defying posture to climb into the top ten of the Qiankun Immortal City Grand Competition. I have truly created a karmic debt for myself!"

When Wu Zhanyun said this, the disciples were secretly shocked, but none of them spoke.

He continued: "When I obtained that token, I once made a Heavenly Dao oath that I would never strike against him in my life!"

"I gathered you here today to tell you to take me as a warning in the future and be cautious in your words and actions!"

"Alright, nothing else, you may all leave!"

After finishing, Wu Zhanyun waved his hand and drove the disciples away one by one.

The dozen or so disciples walked out of the palace, each feeling confused and bewildered.

Looking at each other!

"Qiao Shijie, tell us, what did Master mean?" Someone looked at a woman dressed in black.

The woman in black sneered: "We are all smart people, why ask me? Don't pretend; don't you all understand yet?"

Everyone remained silent.

Master's meaning couldn't be clearer: I have made a Heavenly Dao oath and cannot strike, but you people should be the ones to fully eliminate the hidden danger for me.

"You all know Master's temper; don't think about muddling through!"

"Go do what you need to do..."

After finishing, the Qiao Shijie left directly.

In the largest palace of the City Lord's Mansion.

He Pingsheng had been to this palace once before; this was his second time.

"Wu Zhanyun took that direct entry token of yours; he didn't use his power to suppress you, did he?"

"If he did, you can tell me!"

"I will naturally uphold justice for you!"

The seemingly young woman looked at He Pingsheng with bright eyes, sitting somewhat lazily on a giant lotus platform.

He Pingsheng hurriedly bowed: "Reporting to City Lord, he did not. Elder Wu Zhanyun and I had a normal transaction. He promised to give me an immortal method for refining the spirit, and only then did I give him the direct entry token!"

One must solve one's own problems.

If you say it out loud, can someone really uphold justice for you?

Don't be naive!

It's just polite talk.

"Hmm!" Qingyu nodded: "That's good... You were able to charge into the top ten with a cultivation base at the ninth layer of the Human Immortal Stage, and even defeated the number one genius of our City Lord's Mansion, which shows you are very strong!"

"I summoned you here this time for two purposes!"

"First, to congratulate you on achieving such an accomplishment!"

"I also look forward to you showing your style in the Sword Trial Grand Competition. If you enter the top one hundred or higher, you can become a disciple of Lord Star Emperor. By then, we will both be able to interact as peers!"

"Second, I want to ask, does that Caiyu Biyun Xianzi from Mount Kunwu have anything to do with you?"

"Answer me truthfully!"

City Lord Qingyu's reason for asking He Pingsheng wasn't without cause.

They had been investigating Caiyu Biyun Xianzi for too long without any clues.

Although there were no clues, they had several speculations: First, this person's talent was absolutely extraordinary; second, since they impersonated Mount Kunwu, they must have had some connection to Mount Kunwu—perhaps a disciple, or someone familiar with Mount Kunwu, at least someone who had heard the name Mount Kunwu.

Finally, the timing!

By picking out the sects that came to seek the Dao a few years before and after that period, the scope was quickly narrowed down.

This time, He Pingsheng caught Qingyu's attention because of his sudden rise in the competition.

And He Pingsheng fit all the characteristics above.

Therefore, Qingyu guessed that he was highly likely that Caiyu Biyun Xianzi.

"No!" He Pingsheng denied it flatly: "Junior only spent twenty-plus days seeking the Dao. My fellow disciples can testify to this for me!"

Anyway, as long as I don't admit it, you definitely have no way.

Unless you force me to make a Heavenly Dao oath.

But He Pingsheng knew that if Qingyu was a smart woman, she would absolutely not force a peerless genius to make a Heavenly Dao oath.

Doing so would only bring harm and no benefit to Qingyu.

"Fine, I believe you!" Qingyu walked down from the massive lotus platform and landed in front of He Pingsheng: "The top ten have already been decided. Tomorrow is the ranking battle for the top ten. Do you have the confidence to take first place?"

He Pingsheng bowed: "I do!"

Since his edge had already been revealed, hiding it further would be counterproductive.

"Oh?" Qingyu smiled: "You are quite confident... Then I will ask you again, if you participate in the Yu Emperor Star Grand Competition, what ranking do you think you can reach on the entire star?"

He Pingsheng's brow furrowed slightly: "Junior's goal is to charge for first place and obtain a wish from Lord Star Emperor!"

Hiss hiss hiss...

Qingyu couldn't help but gasp: "He Pingsheng, oh He Pingsheng, now I am eighty percent sure that you are that Caiyu Biyun Xianzi!"

"Fine, I won't ask you about Caiyu anymore!"

"Is there anything you need me to do for you? If there is, speak boldly..." ===== CHAPTER 1109 =====
