Chapter 1616

Three days later, He Pingsheng stretched lazily and rose from the wide, soft futon.

Qiao Huizhu had somehow prepared a table full of food without him noticing.

He Pingsheng asked, somewhat surprised: "You can cook too?"

Qiao Huizhu gave him a sideways glance: "What did you think? Do I only know how to do... uh... other things?"

"Alright, come try it!"

"Okay." He Pingsheng chuckled: "I haven't eaten anything in tens of thousands of years!"

"The desire for food is also something I haven't indulged in for ages!"

As he spoke, he sat down beside the small table and took a bite.

"Hmm... the taste is really special, quite good!" He Pingsheng then thought of others and asked: "Why not call them over too to have a taste?"

Qiao Huizhu smiled: "As my husband says!"

"I'll go call them!"

Qiao Huizhu rose and went out.

After a while, Wen Wannian and Yin Pan Ying entered.

Luo Bing Yao was nowhere to be seen.

He Pingsheng frowned slightly: "Where is my precious disciple?"

Wen Wannian said: "She said a few days ago she was going out, and hasn't returned yet. Don't worry—her cultivation is already this high, and she has immortal talismans on her; she'll be fine!"

He Pingsheng nodded and then continued to enjoy the meal.

But just as he had eaten half, he felt the disturbance of a formation from outside.

Ordinary formation fluctuations would not transmit into He Pingsheng's main hall, since his hall was surrounded by several layers of defensive formations and barriers that could block outside sounds.

After all, just a few days ago, he and Qiao Huizhu had been indulging in cloud-and-rain affairs in this very hall.

But if someone disturbed it with extremely high Divine Sense, He Pingsheng could still feel it.

"It seems someone is outside?" he said.

Yin Pan Ying rose and said: "This servant will go check!"

After a dozen breaths, Yin Pan Ying led in a woman dressed in green robes into He Pingsheng's main hall.

The woman had the cultivation of a third-layer Golden Immortal of the Great Luo, and upon seeing He Pingsheng, she hastily clasped her hands and said: "May I ask, are you Fellow Daoist He?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "What is it?"

The woman said: "I am a disciple of the Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord. Today, by order, I invite you to come—Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord summons you!"

After speaking, she added: "It is of great importance; please, Fellow Daoist, hurry over!"

He Pingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "What exactly is the matter?"

The woman said: "I don't know either; you should ask my master yourself!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Very well, lead the way!"

He was not afraid.

I have slain the Profound Heaven Daoist Lord—would I still fear a mere third-layer Dao Origin?

When I first saw the Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord, I used my Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze divine ability to inspect her cultivation—she was only third-layer Dao Origin.

The Flower Pavilion is not far from He Pingsheng's sect; the two reached it in just a few breaths.

Under the woman's guidance, He Pingsheng arrived before a majestic main hall.

"Fellow Daoist He... this is the place!"

"My master has been waiting inside for a long time!"

"Please!"

He Pingsheng nodded, and his Divine Sense burst forth, sweeping over the hall.

Outside the hall, there were indeed several layers of formations, but they were all only seventh-grade.

"Junior He Pingsheng, I request an audience with Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord!" He Pingsheng bowed respectfully before the hall.

Then, the mighty formations opened layer by layer, and the hall's main doors swung open two leaves.

A flat voice came from within: "Come in!"

He Pingsheng stepped inside!

The hall was spotless!

The Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord's hall differed from the usual Daoist's place of cultivation—inside, all kinds of precious furnishings were complete, filling the entire hall.

At this moment, the red-robed Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord sat leisurely on a purplish-black chair, sipping tea.

Opposite her sat a young man.

The man appeared young, but his cultivation had already reached the Dao Origin realm.

First-layer Dao Origin.

"Hmph..." Upon seeing He Pingsheng, this Dao Origin first-layer cultivator snorted coldly.

The Flower Pavilion Daoist Lord's gaze also fell upon him, saying: "He Pingsheng, is it? Come forward!"

He Pingsheng walked over, yet there was no seat for him.

But he did not mind.

After all, he was merely a Great Luo, while they were Dao Origin.

"Senior Flower Pavilion!" He Pingsheng still respectfully clasped his hands: "Please instruct me!"

"Hn!" Flower Pavilion nodded, saying: "I heard you have been in seclusion these past few days—did this palace disturb you?"

He Pingsheng smiled: "Not bad!"

Flower Pavilion continued: "Today I summoned you because your disciple Luo Bing Yao has caused a great calamity!"

"You, as a Master, must give an explanation!"

He Pingsheng's head instantly ached: Good grief, what has Luo Bing Yao done?

But his expression remained calm and indifferent: "What exactly did my disciple do? Please speak plainly, Senior. If the fault lies with me, this junior will naturally give an explanation!"

"Hmm!" Hua Ting said: "Then this Palace will tell you one by one!"

"The Yao family's Seventh Young Master took a fancy to your Grand Void Gate's Mistress Qiao Huizhu, wanting to become Dao Companions, and share a wife with you!"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng's face turned black!

However, he did not flare up!

"As a result, the Seventh Young Master came to propose marriage!"

"As a result, your disciple beat the Yao family's Seventh Young Master violently, and also beheaded a Yao family Da Luo Golden Immortal Elder!"

"One must admit, this Luo Bing Yao is indeed fierce. Later, in a great battle with the Yao family, alone and single-handedly, she beheaded seven Yao family Da Luo Golden Immortals!"

"Later, the Yao family's Dao Yuan stepped forward, but was also beheaded by an Eighth-Grade Immortal Talisman activated by your disciple!"

"You tell me, how should you explain this?"

He Pingsheng gasped in shock: Good grief... good grief... good grief...

This Master closed up for three days, and the mess you stirred up isn't even this big!

In just three days, you killed the Yao family's Dao Jun?

"Hmph..." The man sitting opposite Hua Ting jumped up with a whoosh, saying: "My Yao family's seven Da Luo Golden Immortals, one Dao Yuan Dao Jun!"

"All fell because of your disciple. This karma, let's see how you explain it!"

His voice was loud, frantic and furious.

He Pingsheng smiled: "So this Dao Jun is from the Yao family!"

"Then... right now, where is my disciple Luo Bing Yao?"

That Dao Yuan said: "Luo Bing Yao... this cheap woman, has already been suppressed by this old man, and is now imprisoned in our Yao family!"

He Pingsheng's face instantly turned cold and grim.

He stared dead at that Yao family Dao Jun: "You cursing my disciple as a cheap woman, that's fine, I won't quibble with you. But you locked up my disciple. If my disciple suffers any mishap, your Yao family, starting from you, will not have a single chicken or dog left!"

"You'd best confirm my disciple's safety right now!"

The Yao family Dao Jun was startled by He Pingsheng's tone and gaze, saying: "You, a mere Da Luo Golden Immortal, still trying to intimidate me?"

He Pingsheng said: "I don't have that kind of leisure to intimidate you!"

"Not to mention you, a Dao Yuan First Layer, even a Grand Dao Jun of the Dao Yuan Realm Twelfth Layer, I've killed before!"

Wait a moment, before 12 o'clock, the remaining two chapters will be delivered!
