Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 464 - 464 Critical Moment
464 Critical Moment
In an inn somewhere in Lanjiang city.
This place was located in the corner of Lanjiang city. Few people would come here on normal days. Even though the entire Lanjiang city was overcrowded because of the sect competition, this place was still the same. After Gu Xi accidentally found out about this place, he ordered Little Nine to bring Zhan Hong here after leaving the Zhan Clan’s courtyard. It was for the sake of a safe and hidden place.
However, at this time, the inn was crowded with people. Some of them were floating in the air, some were squeezed in groups of two or three on the thick trees around, and some were standing on the roof of the inn. If Gu Xi was here, he would be surprised by the identity of these people, because they were all from the Eastern Continent, and were also participants of the Grand Sect Competition.
Not only that, but even Tong Shan, Tang Conglin, and a group of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s disciples had gathered at a certain spot in front of the inn. Like everyone else present, they all had their eyes on the empty space in the center.
The person who attracted their attention was the tall and beautiful Little Nine in a white dress. At this time, Little Nine’s breathing was a little rushed, her beautiful face a little pale, and there was a look of fatigue on her face that could not be hidden. The tyrannical fluctuations emitted from her body revealed a trace of chaos, and it was obvious that she had just experienced a big battle not long ago.
Not far away from her, a middle-aged man in a black robe was looking at her with a cold expression. This man was the current head of the Zhan Clan, Zhan Wushuang!
Although Zhan Wushuang’s expression was indifferent, there was an unconcealed look of surprise in the depths of his eyes.
“You have the strength of a Great Saint at such a young age. I have to admit that your talent is the greatest I’ve ever seen in my life. Even among all the famous families and sects in the Eastern Continent, you are the most monstrous of all.”
After an unknown period of time, Zhan Wushuang laughed and his voice was filled with praise.
The moment these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but start discussing. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they looked at Little Nine. One had to know that to be able to make Zhan Wushuang praise a junior so generously, such an honor was something that even the outstanding Zhan Hong of the Zhan Clan’s younger generation had never received!
“Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then continue.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
However, Little Nine did not fall for Zhan Wushuang’s praise. She waved her jade-like hand and threw out another wave of spiritual energy that was enough to kill a mid-stage Saint. However, it was also easily dispelled by Zhan Wushuang who was not far away.
“Peak of the late Saint stage, half-step Great Saint… Although you are talented, you stand no chance in front of absolute power,” Zhan Wushuang said with a smile. He was not in a hurry to continue attacking Little Nine.
Hearing this, Little Nine’s expression was still indifferent, but she knew very well that it was undoubtedly a fool’s dream to defeat Zhan Wushuang, who was in the intermediate Great Saint stage. Even if she revealed her true form, it would only be a draw at most.
However, revealing her true self in front of so many people was undoubtedly a stupid decision.
“Hand Zhan Hong over to me, and I can let go of all your previous actions. Not only that, but I will also give you a chance to join my Zhan Clan.”
Seeing that Little Nine had no reaction, Zhan Wushuang naturally thought that Little Nine had already felt the huge gap between them. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, “Don’t worry. As long as you join my Zhan Clan, we will not treat you badly. We will do our best to cultivate you. With your talent, you will be able to enter the Great Saint stage in a year or two. You will definitely reach my current level in ten years.”
“This Zhan Wushuang really dares to say that!”
“If I can help this woman reach the Great Saint intermediate stage within ten years, then the Zhan Clan will have at least two Great Saint intermediate cultivators at the same time, right?”
As Zhan Wushuang’s voice faded, many people could not help but start whispering to each other. Their expressions were all ugly.
If the Zhan Clan had another Great Saint cultivator, then there would be a qualitative change in the Zhan Clan’s overall strength. At that time, the ranking of the sects in the Eastern Continent would also have a big change. This was not an outcome that they wanted to see.
It was okay for a sect or family to be strong, but they could not be too strong, because that would break the balance that had been maintained in the Eastern Continent for many years!
They were not the only ones with ugly expressions on their faces. Zhan Hong, who was a few steps behind Little Nine, was also present.
At this moment, other than the ugly expression on Zhan Hong’s face, he felt even more indignant and helpless. If Little Nine had really agreed to Zhan Wushuang’s request to join the Zhan Clan, then with the strength and talent that Little Nine had displayed, she would definitely replace Zhan Hong’s position in the Zhan Clan and become the leader of the new generation!
As for himself, he could only be the second child in the future.
However, Little Nine did not even bat an eyelid at Zhan Wushuang’s olive branch. It was as if she did not care about every word that Zhan Wushuang said. She raised her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck. She laughed in disdain and said, “I told you just now, you talk too much nonsense.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Little Nine’s body trembled slightly and she suddenly disappeared from her original spot.
Zhan Wushuang’s brows twitched. It was obvious that he was surprised by Little Nine’s words. After all, joining the Zhan Clan and enjoying such treatment was an irresistible temptation to anyone in the Eastern Continent.
And it was this temptation that was enough to make people go crazy, but in Little Nine’s ears, it became endless nonsense, only in exchange for a contemptuous smile.
When he thought of this, Zhan Wushuang could not help but grit his teeth. Little Nine did not give the Zhan Clan any face, even in front of so many people. This was no different from looking down on his authority as the Zhan Clan’s Master, looking down on him, Zhan Wushuang! 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
“Your personality is unruly, it seems I can only beat you into submission.”
Zhan Wushuang shook his head slowly. A terrifying wave of energy burst out from his body and spread out in all directions, causing a large area of the void to collapse.
As the void collapsed on a large scale, a white figure appeared in his field of vision in a flash.
“I’ve found you.” Looking at the spot where the figure disappeared, Zhan Wushuang sneered coldly.
At the same time, somewhere a hundred miles away, Gu Xi’s figure was flying toward Little Jiu’s position at an extremely fast speed.
…
“Old Dog, if you dare to hurt Little Nine, I won’t let you off!”
As if he felt something, Gu Xi gritted her teeth and growled.
In the next moment, his figure disappeared from where he was standing, and when he reappeared, he was already a few thousand feet away.
