"Ah! This is indeed a troublesome matter. The path of cultivation, although striving for perfection, still requires a steady pace! I'll go take a look later, these two sisters are too eager for revenge!" Zhou Qing thought to himself: "I can now control the Blood God Knife, and even if Tian Xuan's blood magic is powerful, it won't be able to withstand the might of the knife."
Zhou Qing's strength surged, but he didn't become arrogant or think that he was the best in the world. He just used the Tian Xuan Blood Demon to create a monster alliance, and China's Taoist sects didn't take it seriously. Zhou Qing knew that things weren't that simple. The Tian Xuan Blood Demon's strength was high, but not enough to make China's Taoist sects worry. Was there someone powerful behind the scenes? Zhou Qing had an idea in his mind.
The four great disciples of Mount Shu ambushed Zhou Qing in the Monster Alliance, causing him to almost capsize in the gutter. Zhou Qing was furious and initially wanted to kill his way up Mount Shu in a fit of rage, but after some reflection, he calmed down. Mount Shu had been established for nearly a thousand years, although it was far from being as ancient as Kunlun, since the time of the Old Ancestor with the Long Eyebrows, who created the Purple and Green Dual Swords, there had been an endless stream of talented individuals emerging, with numerous masters appearing one after another. They had accomplished earth-shaking feats such as beheading the Blood Demon of Ten Thousand Years and exterminating the Green Robed Old Ancestor. Later on, they even convened three times for the Emei Sword Duel, their prestige was so great that it temporarily surpassed that of Kunlun. The accumulation of a thousand years made Zhou Qing dare not act rashly.
Especially now, the Taoist sects and the country have a close relationship, and those four great disciples are even self-proclaimed members of the national security department's dragon group. Zhou Qing himself is just a means to an end, and he cannot resist the entire Chinese Taoist community with his own strength, let alone the whole country. He can only secretly endure this bitter resentment. However, Zhou Qing is not someone who likes to suffer losses. Rationally speaking, he has never been afraid of anyone in his life, including that old heavenly lord in the underworld.
For those orthodox disciples, Zhou Qing had no good feelings, and could even be said to be disgusted. The Dragon Group was almost the same as some corrupt institutions in Zhou Qing's heart. On the other hand, for the demons, Zhou Qing always had a thread of goodwill. To be strict, none of Zhou Qing's two apprentices, together with that little fox, were human.
"Xiao Jin, how much money do we have left?" Zhou Qing asked. After returning from the US with a large sum of money, Zhou Qing had always handed it over to Liao Xiao Jin to manage for her cultivation purposes. Now, on a sudden whim, she asked.
"We've been to Las Vegas, gambled and stolen and robbed, and got back 10 billion. The little devil's place had 3 billion, so in total we have 13 billion. Now there are still over 12 billion 500 million left!" Liao Xiao Jin was very clear about the accounts.
"It's not even been a year and it's already over 50 million?!" Zhou Qing was shocked. The exchange rate between RMB and USD wasn't as high as before, but still, 50 million USD was equivalent to over 1 billion RMB. For nine months, using over 1 billion, even Zhou Qing, who was now wealthy and extravagant, couldn't bear it. Over 1 billion, enough to crush someone to death.
"Master! You didn't even calculate, you brought out those few flags and spent tens of millions, not to mention the seven or eight pieces of jade we purchased. The owner of the jade field is almost calling you dad, but I haven't seen you produce anything." Liao Xiao Jin whispered.
"Fart! I didn't expect you to make progress so quickly, your cultivation has even affected the dogs. The spiritual energy in this villa is several times higher than outside, if not for the nearly one ton of jade stones buried underground by me, how could your cultivation be so fast? How could you evolve into a Marquis candidate so quickly?" Zhou Qing scolded him harshly.
"I'll go take a look at how Zhou Chen is doing, you stay here and wait for me, later we'll go out and have some fun! Practicing from dawn till dusk is unbearable, don't you think it's time to find some entertainment?" With that, Zhou Qing threw a sentence at Liao Xiao Jin before disappearing.
In the spacious training room, a small figure flashed at an incredible speed, bringing up waves of air, whoosh! A grab of wind tore through, and the steel-reinforced concrete wall was scratched with five long, half-inch deep scratches. The figure stopped, and the little fox stood in the middle, its nose still having a sparkling drop of sweat that was about to fall to the ground. Zhou Chen hurriedly stepped forward and took out a towel to gently wipe away the sweat from the little fox's face.
"Sister! Our Fox Clan's martial arts skills have reached their limit, it's time to learn magic. The Mei Fox Tribe is left with just the two of us, we must avenge and personally kill that Tian Xuan Blood Demon. But our current strength is still far from enough, it's really not possible to deal with that monster." Zhou Chen sighed, stroking the little fox's head.
"Sister, with this magical treasure that your master gave me, I can now use it freely. Your skills have also made great progress, and with your master's powerful magic, you should be able to kill that Blood Demon!" The little fox was puzzled by Zhou Chen's sigh.
"Master has already helped us a lot, how can we bear to trouble him again? Besides, the grudge of our Fox tribe must be avenged by our own hands. Remember this, little sister!" Zhou Chen hugged the little fox tightly.
Zhou Qing's concentrated mind became the second yuan god, and the strength of his divine thought could be said to be rare in the world. His five senses were even more acute, and he had already heard the conversation between the two sisters. In his heart, he secretly praised: This disciple is not stupid, and his cultivation is fast, but he loves to recognize a dead reason. As long as he can avenge himself, who cares about so much? Taking revenge with his own hands, it's still unknown when that will happen! Zhou Qing felt the Gang Jin Qi unintentionally emitted from Zhou Chen's body and knew that her sword energy had already reached the small success realm of Ling Kong Jue.
Zhou Qing suddenly appeared in the training room, and Zhou Chen and Xiao Hu Li immediately felt it. They instinctively took on a defensive posture, but upon seeing that it was Zhou Qing, Zhou Chen hastily said: "Master, why is it you? You weren't supposed to come out of seclusion for three months, how did you come out so soon?"
"I left early, and Xiao Jin told me that your cultivation is quite crazy. This path of cultivation emphasizes the calmness of one's mind, regardless of whether it's a human or a demon, the higher the realm, the more it's about mastering the energy of the universe with oneself. If you continue like this, you might go mad. I also know you're eager for revenge, but that Tian Xue Mo is not simple, and there seems to be some power behind him. Since you are my disciple of the Tian Dao Sect, I won't stand idly by either. I know you want to take revenge personally, and when the time comes, I'll give you that opportunity." Zhou Qing didn't like beating around the bush, and wasn't willing to let Zhou Chen speak more, so he settled the matter. Zhou Qing still decided to help his disciple this once.
After Zhou Qing left, the little fox's eyes sparkled and said: "Sister, this master is so decisive and has a great personality. Although he doesn't look handsome, his abilities are strong. Everyone has started to like him!" Zhou Chen was shocked and asked: "How old are you, how do you know these things? Who taught you?"
"Hmph! I'm already over thirty years old, don't think I don't know anything, thinking I'm still in the mountains! Don't forget, I've read books for several years too!" The little fox was very nonchalant.
The sun in spring is dazzling, but not hot. People feel comfortable basking in its warmth. The streets are crowded with people who have emerged from their homes after a cold winter. They can't help but go out to enjoy the warm sunshine. All sizes of shopping malls are bustling with joy, filled with customers. Adults with children, couples, all enter empty-handed and leave carrying big bags of items.
Liao Xiao Jin looked at the little fox walking and eating KFC chicken with a can of Coke in its hand, saying: "I say little fox, you like to eat chicken that much? Every day, now even foreign chicken is not spared?"
"Ugh, I hate it when you call me that. My name is Zhou Cang, not Little Fox anymore, please don't call me that again," said Zhou Cang with a glare at Liao Xiao Jin. Although she was annoyed, she didn't want to make a scene on the street. The four of them made a striking group: Zhou Chen was pure and lovely, Liao Xiao Jin was handsome and elegant, Zhou Cang was innocent and adorable. Zhou Qing was rather plain, but that didn't affect the 100% head-turning rate they got from the crowd around them.
"Master, we demons may have entered the mortal world, but we never appear in bustling places. Such a lively scene, I don't often get to see." Walking on the pedestrian shopping street, Zhou Chen said with delight.
"We humans can cultivate anywhere, entering the mundane world to cultivate our hearts, and entering the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate our bodies. Your skills may be advancing quickly, but sword cultivation is after all a human cultivation method, different from your demon tribe's methods, so we still need to follow the steps of humans. Let you experience human life, it will still be beneficial for your cultivation." Zhou Qing himself was also a novice in cultivation, but he understood the general principle.
"So that's how it is! But human life is indeed much richer than ours in the demon tribe, I don't know how many times over. No wonder so many demons are willing to risk being hunted by human Taoist priests and still want to live in cities with humans." Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Liao Xiaojin, who was standing next to him, suddenly exclaimed: "Master, where did all those people go just now?" Zhou Chen immediately noticed that the street, which had been crowded with people rushing by earlier, had become empty and desolate. Not a single person could be seen, leaving only the four of them standing alone in the middle of the road, looking very eerie.
