91: Chapter 91: Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting in a Warm Bed!

Just as Zhou Yuan had said, on the second day after their arrival at Heavenly Star City, news of the unexpected death of Young Master Wen Tianren, the young master of holy demon island, had already spread throughout the entire city.

Everyone in Heavenly Star City, whether Cultivators or Mortals, was utterly shocked upon hearing this.

After all, in this Chaotic Star Sea, while there were not a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators, there were certainly several hundred, but there was only one young master of holy demon island, and that was precisely Wen Tianren.

Not only was his status unique, but his cultivation Aptitude, speed of progress, and his actions were also perfectly suited to this status and position, leaving no room for criticism.

Therefore, his fame in the Chaotic Star Sea was even greater than that of many Nascent Soul Cultivators.

But the most puzzling question was: who did it?

This so-called 'accidental death' was clearly murder! But looking across the entire Chaotic Star Sea, who would have such immense audacity?

Even Wan Tianming, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, would never act in such a manner—not because he dared not, but because it would be beneath his dignity and would easily provoke the complete enmity of Holy Demon Island.

Especially at this moment when the Righteous and Demonic Paths were preparing to jointly form the Reverse Star Alliance, there was even less reason to target their young Revered Master; it would undoubtedly be seeking one's own death.

Such an act would be absolutely intolerable to Six Paths Extreme Saint, the number one figure of the demonic path.

This was a complete slap in his face. Moreover, Wen Tianren still had other uses for him, making it even more intolerable.

In other words, within the Chaotic Star Sea, those with the capability to kill Wen Tianren would, firstly, be branded with the infamy of bullying the weak and losing face, harming their reputation, and secondly, would thoroughly enrage Holy Demon Island, especially Six Paths Extreme Saint, the number one figure of the demonic path and a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Furthermore, although Wen Tianren acted arrogantly, he was not so foolish as to rashly offend Nascent Soul Cultivators. Even if he did offend someone, the other party would most likely only teach him a lesson, certainly not resort to lethal force.

Given this, who would dare to slay this young Revered Master of the Demonic Path? The answer seemed to point directly to a Nascent Soul Cultivator—looking across the entire Chaotic Star Sea, there were almost no Core Formation Stage Cultivators with such strength, and even if there were, no one would dare to bear the consequences of killing the young master of holy demon island.

The weight of these consequences was such that, apart from the Righteous Path's Myriad Laws Sect and the Star Palace, few in the entire Chaotic Star Sea could withstand them.

Thus, this matter instantly became an unsolved mystery; no one could guess which Nascent Soul Cultivator was responsible.

'Could it be that Young Master Wen obtained some rare treasure?'

For a time, this rumor spread throughout the Chaotic Star Sea, especially in Heavenly Star City, where it was recounted with vivid detail.

Some said it was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, others said it was the Legacy of a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, some even claimed it was a relic of a Deity Transformation Cultivator, and there were those who said it was a secret treasure capable of summoning the void heaven cauldron.

Rumors of all kinds emerged endlessly, yet none could provide solid evidence.

The only certainty was that the perpetrator was no ordinary person; they were either a Nascent Soul Cultivator or a Core Formation Cultivator with strength comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to kill Wen Tianren.

Holy Demon Island naturally did not sit idly by. They immediately issued a warrant, offering a reward of one million Spirit Stones for the capture of the murderer—this was an astronomical figure, enough to make even Zhao Changsheng's heart stir, nearly prompting him to consider turning himself in.

But when he heard that Six Paths Extreme Saint had specifically emerged from seclusion over this matter, he completely dismissed this absurd idea. He understood clearly that he stood no chance of escaping unscathed from Six Paths Extreme Saint's hands.

Originally, Zhao Changsheng planned to set out to sea to hunt Yao Beasts upon arriving at Heavenly Star City. Seeing the current situation, he could only temporarily shelve his plans and choose to go into seclusion within the city to lay low.

Although no one would believe that an Early Stage Core Formation Cultivator could have killed the young master of holy demon island, there was one exception—Zhou Yuan, the Sect Leader of the Wonderful Sound Sect.

As for the other sect members and Disciples of the Wonderful Sound Sect who were present at the time, Zhao Changsheng had dealt with all those he could silence, leaving only Zhuo Ruting, Zhou Yuan's Personal Disciple.

He not only made Zhuo Ruting take an enhanced Forgetfulness Pill but also sealed her relevant memories. Even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator tried to probe them, it would be absolutely impossible unless it was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who made the attempt.

And if anyone other than a Late Nascent Soul Cultivator forcibly probed her, the one to suffer would only be the one being probed, Zhuo Ruting, leading to certain death.

In addition, Zhao Changsheng also implanted a sub-flame of the Fallen Heart Flame within Zhuo Ruting's body. Only then did he truly feel at ease, and Zhou Yuan felt similarly reassured.

To Zhao Changsheng's considerable surprise, the Star Palace also subsequently issued a special 'warrant'—not to pursue the murderer, but instead to call for the murderer to voluntarily confess.

As long as the murderer was willing to come forward, admit the deed, and prove they possessed the strength to kill Wen Tianren, they could directly become a Star Palace Elder. As for Holy Demon Island's retaliation, the Star Palace would bear the full responsibility.

If the person was a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star could even take them on as a Named Disciple, simultaneously bestowing Ancient Treasures and imparting Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques. The benefits offered were simply unimaginable.

Such generous terms made Zhao Changsheng's heart stir once again, but he felt there was something strange about the whole affair and ultimately chose to give up the idea.

Others might not know, but he was aware that one of the Star Palace's Two Holy Lords was related by blood to Six Paths Extreme Saint.

Although the relationship between the two had always been strained, the Cultivation World prioritized benefit above all else. It was hard to guarantee they wouldn't cooperate for mutual gain, and selling him out was not an impossibility.

Moreover, he had already gained considerable benefits from Wen Tianren's body. No matter how tempting the Star Palace's conditions were, it wasn't worth the risk for him.

For Zhao Changsheng, the most important thing at present was still to improve his cultivation.

Therefore, upon arriving at Heavenly Star City, he consumed a golden cloud pill, successfully advancing his Realm to the Middle Core Formation Stage in one go.

Although his Realm was slightly unstable, it could be solidified through diligent subsequent cultivation and was not considered a hidden danger. This matter also made Zhou Yuan extremely envious, but her envy was futile—Zhao Changsheng did not have a second golden cloud pill. Otherwise, if Zhou Yuan were willing to properly please him, he wouldn't have minded giving her one, using it to win her loyalty.

The fervor surrounding Wen Tianren's death gradually subsided in the Chaotic Star Sea after two or three years. Only occasionally would Cultivators mention it after meals, curiously discussing the identity of the murderer.

After the fervor had completely died down, Zhao Changsheng ended his seclusion and set off for the Outer Star Sea to hunt Yao Beasts.

At the same time, he instructed Zhou Yuan to help purchase some Yao Beast Materials, especially demon cores.

Naturally, Zhou Yuan did not refuse his instruction and immediately agreed.

During this period, Zhao Changsheng also helped the Wonderful Sound Sect resolve some troubles. In return, Zhou Yuan directly sent her Disciples Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei to Zhao Changsheng's side to serve him in bed. These two female Disciples thus became Zhao Changsheng's exclusive bed companions.

Zhao Changsheng was quite satisfied with this arrangement and had no complaints whatsoever.

Time flew by, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Zhao Changsheng was planning to return to the Tiannan Cultivation World to sell the Materials and demon cores he had obtained from hunting Yao Beasts over the years, his nominal Revered Master Layman Qingyi, along with Venerable Tian Yun, suddenly appeared in Heavenly Star City.
