216: Shooting star streaking across the sky

Looking at the prompt on the System interface, Zhou Yan clicked the link directly and entered the event interface.

His consciousness sank back into the System space.

At this moment, on the event interface, where only "Sign-in 7 Days" had been lit up, everything was now unlocked.

Zhou Yan could already feel the attacks coming from the outside world, and his Heart Demon value kept accumulating; he knew time was running out.

If he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock from this event, by the time his Heart Demon value was full, it would likely be his last time erupting with power.

"Fast! Fast! Fast!"

"Think, you blockhead!"

Zhou Yan roared in his heart, but this only made it harder for his consciousness to focus, making it impossible to search for the target accurately.

Realizing this, he forced himself to calm down, concentrating his mind to filter through them one by one.

"Dragon Boat Race—can obtain Dragon Boat mounts, titles, and a large amount of Materials and currency."

"No, it's useless right now."

"Constellation Challenge?"

"I'm almost beaten to death, and you want me to fight a boss? Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?"

"Found it! Grand Welfare Lottery! That's it!"

This was the highest-level pay-to-win event ever opened for the entire server, and also the source of the first set of Mythical equipment for the entire server.

After entering the event page, a huge pool interface popped up.

In the center of the pool stood an Azure Dragon statue, its Dragon claws gripping a luxurious spinning wheel.

The wheel was lined with various rare items, as well as some common fragments and currency.

Most eye-catching were a few pieces of luxurious equipment displayed in red.

Zhou Yan knew time was tight and couldn't care about "miracles from single draws"; he even skipped the ten-draws and directly pressed the one-hundred-draw button hard.

Large amounts of Spirit Stones were consumed from his reserves, and Zhou Yan began a no-holds-barred spending spree.

"Charge, charge, charge, pay, pay, pay, the pay-to-win player is charging!"

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Zhou Yan was being held and beaten by "Chen Jingyuan" like a ragdoll.

"Resist! Why aren't you resisting? Weren't you quite arrogant just now!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Yan in the System space understood that consuming the power of Emperor Taizong like this was extremely taxing.

If the lottery results were unsatisfactory, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to erupt with power.

The large wheel began to spin rapidly.

Since it was a one-hundred-draw, the lottery animation could be skipped.

Zhou Yan kept repeating the cycle of "hundred-draw—skip—hundred-draw—skip."

Finally, at the four-hundredth draw.

"Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for obtaining [Mythical] grade equipment [Di Mansion Chengze Gauntlet]!!!"

Good! The first piece is in hand!

Perhaps because he spent enough, the drop rate seemed to have increased.

This time it only took two hundred draws, and the second piece was successfully drawn.

"Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for obtaining [Mythical] grade equipment [Xin Mansion Tongxi Belt]!!!"

Next was the third piece!

"Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for obtaining [Mythical] grade equipment [Kang Mansion Gilded Chain]!!!"

At this moment, Zhou Yan's health points were still two-thirds left.

Inside the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, the Grand Elder was looking at the Fourth Elder with a gloomy expression.

"Fourth, have you gone mad?"

"What has the Kaifeng become? This is clearly not an internal conflict, why aren't you acting yet!"

In the Sect Main Hall, except for the Sect Master and the Fifth Elder, all other Elders were present.

The reason was simple: almost all the notable Disciples of this generation were in the Kaifeng.

If they all perished there, the loss would be truly significant.

Yet, this damn Fourth Elder actually dared to stop them from acting; he simply didn't know whether he was living or dying.

Facing the fellow Disciples who had come to hold him accountable, the Fourth Elder could only raise his hands in surrender.

"Heaven and earth are my witness, it really has nothing to do with me!"

"I'm just a scapegoat, I really can't say anything!"

"Cut the crap, take my punch first!"

The Grand Elder had a fiery temper and swung his fist to strike.

The Fourth Elder wanted to resist, but discovered that countless Talismans had already crawled all over his body, imprisoning him tightly.

"Wait!"

"Wait for what? We'll hit you first!"

The Sixth Elder was short in stature and easily wove into the Grand Elder's offensive.

The two attacked from left and right, coordinating tacitly, suppressing the Fourth Elder so he couldn't even speak.

The Third Elder watched coldly from the side, manipulating the Talismans to continuously strengthen the control.

At this moment, the Fourth realized why, after the Master went into seclusion back then, he insisted on passing the position to the Second.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be able to suppress this group of dear brothers and sisters!

Inside a certain stone cave, the Sect Master, Immortal Master Qingxu, seemed to sense something, and the chess piece between his fingers slipped quietly.

The piece happened to land on the chessboard, knocking the four pieces that were about to form a straight line scattering in all directions.

And the Disciple opposite him happened to be unable to catch this piece, which was imbued with the Power of Law.

Immortal Master Qingxu scratched the back of his head and grinned.

"Oh, little Zhu, this time it really, really, really, really, really wasn't on purpose."

"I just had a premonition; I felt like something was missing in my heart... as if a beloved or a close friend was in crisis, but at the same time, I felt inexplicably happy, as if I had dodged a calamity."

Although Immortal Master Qingxu was polite with his words, the Disciple opposite him was already tearful.

"Sect Master, please be a human!"

Ever since this old urchin entered the cave for punishment, he hadn't had a few days of peace.

Every time he finished resting, Immortal Master Qingxu would start guiding his cultivation with extremely cruel methods, simply not treating him like a human.

Although his cultivation rose quickly, this kind of Hell training was truly torturous.

That wasn't all; in his spare time, Immortal Master Qingxu would drag him to play games to pass the time.

Although the other party lowered his cultivation and Divine Sense to fight fairly and was quite gentlemanly, he would cheat as soon as he couldn't win, yet he kept losing, which was simply being bad but loving to play, almost driving him crazy.

Just that excuse from earlier, the other party had already used forty-eight times.

This was even more painful than when he had gone through his Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation back then.

Seeing the Disciple full of resentment, Immortal Master Qingxu was embarrassed to pester him further and waved his hand to let him go rest.

Upon hearing he could rest, the other party's resentment instantly vanished, and he happily went to the side to meditate.

Immortal Master Qingxu shook his head and smiled, then walked to the cave entrance.

That playboy expression gradually faded, turning serious.

He crossed his arms and looked into the distance, his gaze deep, his hands unconsciously clenching.

"Old Ancestor, oh Old Ancestor... what exactly are you trying to do again?"

Above Great Yu.

"Chen Jingyuan" sensed that Zhou Yan's vitality was weakening, knowing that the other party might still enter a controllable state of Qi Deviation again.

But he also clearly felt that the borrowed power within Zhou Yan's body was almost exhausted.

Even if he could reverse life and death again, he would only be a Core Formation Cultivator by then.

However, just as he was punching Zhou Yan's head repeatedly, the smile on his face gradually froze.

Zhou Yan actually slowly raised his head, an elusive expression surfacing on his battered face.

"Chen Jingyuan" felt his attacks becoming increasingly powerless against Zhou Yan; the force that could have knocked the other party's head crooked with one punch could now only cause the other party to sway slightly.

By the time Zhou Yan straightened his head completely, his punch landing on the other party's face could no longer shake him in the slightest.

A sense of helplessness suddenly struck him.

Zhou Yan just smiled slightly, then slammed his head into "Chen Jingyuan"'s forehead, knocking him flying fiercely!

Under the huge impact, "Chen Jingyuan" kept falling beneath the layers of dark clouds.

Amidst the swirling mists, he gradually couldn't see Zhou Yan's figure clearly.

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded, and the lightning illuminated a black dot.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning struck down, and the lightning illuminated a massive Dragon shadow.

"Roar—!"

This was the last sound he heard.

Meanwhile, everyone inside and outside the Kaifeng saw what appeared to be a meteor falling straight down from the clouds.

This meant that the battle in the sky had been decided.

And Jie, who had originally been sitting securely on the fishing platform, now found his body trembling uncontrollably.

"I really didn't expect it to be you, I really didn't expect it to be you!"

"Meng Zhang!"

After saying this, Jie vanished from the spot instantly.

The Joyous Union Sect Soul Transformation wanted to catch up, but the soil beneath his feet suddenly coiled around him, trapping him and making him unable to move.

Watching that person leave, the Joyous Union Sect Soul Transformation gritted his teeth, but in the end, he could only sigh and say helplessly.

"Young Lord, I..."

"No need to explain, you have done well enough, leave the rest to me."

Before that person could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice that was indistinguishable from what it was coming from.
