Chapter 495

Although Bu Jingyun did not know why Guichen was like this, he trusted Guichen immensely.

He no longer held back, channeling all his true Qi throughout his body into this single strike.

It was just that in this kind of contest, Bu Jingyun's cultivation was weak but his palm technique was formidable, giving him the upper hand.

Shan Lu Wu Xiang, on the other hand, had high cultivation but ordinary palm technique, holding the rear hand.

In theory, the two of them clashing should have been a draw.

The impact force of an absolute-level expert could very well blow the roof right off the Tongfu Inn.

But at the critical moment, Bu Jingyun felt a powerful surge of true Qi suddenly channel into his body.

Thereafter, the power of his Cloud-Dispelling Palm increased by more than tenfold.

"Boom!"

Under that single palm, the knapsack was shattered into fragments.

Shan Lu Wu Xiang attacked with all his might, but how could he possibly withstand a Cloud-Dispelling Palm whose power had increased tenfold.

Every bone in his body was directly smashed into powder, and his entire person turned straight to ash.

The most peculiar thing was that the surging, overwhelming force of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm only killed Shan Lu Wu Xiang.

When passing by Shen Bijun, this palm force actually dodged right around her.

Then it viciously smashed a pit over a zhang deep into the floor of the Tongfu Inn.

Once everything settled, Bu Jingyun caught Shen Bijun in one swift motion,

and amid the storm of palm force, seized a bronze box, slowly landing on the ground.

"This is?"

Holding the bronze box, Bu Jingyun immediately guessed what it was.

"That's right! This is precisely the Heart Moon Fox."

Guichen flashed forward and said with a smile,

"This Heart Moon Fox is said to be one of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon."

"And the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon are, by legend, the heaven-shaking great power created by Zhou Wenwang."

"Then think about it—could a mysterious existence like this be something you or I could shake?"

"Uh…"

Bu Jingyun felt embarrassed; just now it was fortunate Guichen had reminded him, otherwise he really would have withdrawn most of his palm force.

Otherwise, he might have given Shan Lu Wu Xiang an opening.

"But don't be discouraged either—I'll let you in on a secret: not just you and I, even the Dragon Heads have tried it."

Guichen leaned in closer and said teasingly in a low voice.

Even the Dragon Heads couldn't destroy the bronze box?!

320 Although I want to as well, it really wasn't me!

"Friend outside, please show yourself!"

After Guichen finished speaking with Bu Jingyun and had him safeguard the Heart Moon Fox bronze box, he suddenly said a sentence.

"Haha! People say that Altar Master Guichen is not only superbly skilled in martial arts, but also perceptive in mind—nothing can be hidden from him."

"Seeing him today, it's truly so!"

Two more people walked in from outside the inn.

The leader was an old man with white hair and white beard, doddering and senile, yet his steps were extremely light—clearly an expert.

Behind him was a middle-aged man dressed in refined attire, either wealthy or of noble birth.

"I, the Grandfather-in-Law of Great Song, An Yunshan (Imperial Brother-in-Law An Shigeng), greet Altar Master Guichen."

The two did not wait for Guichen to ask, but announced their own names.

"Oh!"

Guichen paid no heed to their salutations, and instead continued looking outside.

As if the person he spoke of was not these two.

"Altar Master Guichen, you…"

An Shigeng was young and hot-tempered; seeing Guichen act this way, he nearly lost his temper.

After all, he was the Imperial Brother-in-Law of Great Song, known as the God of Wealth, and was usually revered by tens of thousands.

With Guichen acting this way today, he nearly couldn't hold himself back.

"Cough, cough!"

It was still the experienced An Yunshan who, seeing his son about to flare up, immediately interrupted with a cough.

"Altar Master Guichen, what are you doing?"

"Oh! Nothing, nothing! Since… forget it!"

The cultivation of An Yunshan and An Shigeng was, at best, that of a Land Immortal, and An Shigeng hadn't even reached that.

These two were naturally not the person Guichen had spoken of.

But that person refused to show himself, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Since we have the bronze box, let's go."

Guichen and Bu Jingyun had both come for this Heart Moon Fox bronze box.

Bu Jingyun had been sent down directly from the Azure Dragon Peak by Senior Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Sanfeng.

Guichen, however, after seeing the contents of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, keenly discovered that this was a meritorious deed.

One that could be exchanged for decent merit points.

Therefore, after accepting the relevant task at the Mission Hall, he brought his subordinates and tracked Shen Bijun and the Heart Moon Fox all along.

They never expected the two of them, taking different paths, would end up arriving at the same place.

Now that they had their mission objective in hand, they naturally did not want to linger.

"Hold on…"

An Shigeng could no longer hold back and reached out to stop Guichen.

"What is it? Does the 'Imperial Uncle' have some instruction for us?"

The corner of Guichen's mouth lifted slightly as he asked in a teasing tone.

Put nicely, you, An Shigeng, are the Imperial Uncle!

But dare to offend Daoqinglong Society, and even the Emperor of Great Song can be replaced!

Let alone a mere Imperial Uncle like you!

Strength is the foundation for earning Daoqinglong Society's respect!

Do you, An Shigeng, have that kind of strength?

Are you worthy?

"Master Guichen, please forgive us…"

An Yunshan's head was swelling to the size of a bucket—how had his own son become so utterly clueless about when to advance and when to retreat today?

"It's like this! We obtained the reward 'Dragon Head Token' previously issued by the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking."

"So my unworthy son wishes to use this token to meet the Great Dragon Head in person."

In truth, the buzz around the Dragon Head Token drew even more attention than the so-called Mount Wuyi Seven Stars.

After all, the Mount Wuyi Seven Stars were split into seven, and they were still a legend from antiquity.

Where would ordinary people or factions find the nerve to take the Mount Wuyi Seven Stars?

As the saying goes, a commoner is guilty for possessing jade—a man without power is cursed for holding treasure!

They feared that before they could even gather the Mount Wuyi Seven Stars, possessing just one would already bring every major faction hunting them down.

To the great factions, it was a treasure of the highest grade.

But to an individual or a small faction, it was no different from poison.

Yet the Dragon Head Token was different!

Holding the Dragon Head Token allowed one to meet anyone in Daoqinglong Society, and also to have Daoqinglong Society carry out one task on their behalf.

Even an ordinary person who obtained it could use the Dragon Head Token to exchange for boundless wealth and glory for generations of descendants.

Needless to say, for An Yunshan and his son An Shigeng.

Upon hearing that the An father and son had obtained the Dragon Head Token, Guichen was also somewhat taken aback.

"The Dragon Head Token? Are you certain?"
