Chapter 122 Backup Hidden Energy

"Boom!"

As Yan Chu finished speaking, a terrifying Aura shot into the sky.

The thick clouds covering the sky were torn to shreds, and amidst the howling gale, sand and stones flew within a radius of several miles.

A beam of moonlight shone directly down, illuminating the carriage!

Yan Chu remained in his lazy posture.

But the two women in the carriage, Zhu Qingluan and Zhao Jiyao, both changed color, their cherry lips slightly parted, eyes filled with shock.

With a single thought, the heavens changed.

A majestic, overwhelming momentum—those who submit will prosper, those who resist will perish!

The previously moonless night now saw moonlight pouring through the windows onto them.

"Great... Grandmaster..."

Zhao Jiyao's beautiful eyes darted about, filled with disbelief.

The Four Seas Pavilion also had files on Yan Chu; she knew that the young man before her was only twenty years old this year.

A twenty-year-old Great Grandmaster!

What kind of concept was this?

In the history of the Great Jin Imperial Court, there had never been such a young Great Grandmaster; the youngest recorded Great Grandmaster was already nearly thirty, and that person eventually became a top expert on the rankings.

As one of the top aristocratic families within the Six Doors, her Zhao Family only had three Great Grandmasters.

There was no other reason; to achieve the rank of Great Grandmaster, one needed not only talent and Aptitude but also massive resources.

Beside her, Zhu Qingluan's heart trembled slightly.

The veil covering her face fluttered, revealing a delicate, flawless chin; just this half-face was enough to fill one with imagination, and if the full face were revealed, who knows how many would be captivated.

Her Wind Listening Pavilion already knew the news of Yan Chu advancing to Great Grandmaster.

She even knew what Yan Chu had done at the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect.

But seeing Yan Chu reveal his Great Grandmaster cultivation with her own eyes, she still felt as if it were a dream.

Not long ago, Yan Chu was only a Grandmaster—how many days had passed since then?

And looking at the Aura Yan Chu displayed, he was definitely no ordinary Great Grandmaster!

Outside the carriage, Wang Ping and his companion were so pleasantly surprised they couldn't control themselves.

To be honest, they had originally had no confidence at all.

It was purely out of loyalty and instinctive trust in Yan Chu.

But now, seeing the Young Master reveal his cultivation with their own eyes, their hearts were set.

"What Hidden Sword Palace? Nothing but ghosts under the Young Master's blade!"

"I, Wang Ping, really followed the right person!"

A moment later, Yan Chu restrained his Aura.

Thick clouds covered the sky again, blocking the moonlight, and the world plunged back into darkness.

Inside the carriage, the lamplight was soft.

Zhu Qingluan calmed her mind, took a deep look at Yan Chu, and said:

"It seems you are already confident!"

"Since that is the case, I will tell you two more pieces of news!"

"What?"

"The first is that the successor of the Seven Kill Sect, Song Cheng, has emerged; it should be to deal with the people from the Hidden Sword Palace, so you can cooperate with him, and your chances of winning against Chen Fenghua and the others will be greater!"

"The second is that the Chief Helmsman of the Holy Lotus Sect, Xu Chuo, broke through to Great Grandmaster not long ago; he has also arrived in Longhua Prefecture, and just now, before I came, he arrived at Qiushui Villa."

"By the way, Qiushui Villa is one of the secret strongholds of the Holy Lotus Sect; the reason Xu Chuo came to Longhua Prefecture is likely also for you, after all, you killed quite a few people from the Holy Lotus Sect!"

When saying this, Zhu Qingluan's smile was playful.

The forces Yan Chu had offended were simply too many; the Hidden Sword Palace was just the first to make a move.

If the Marquis of Annan's Estate hadn't been tied up by the imperial court's conscription recently, they would certainly have sent a Great Grandmaster as well.

Yan Chu raised an eyebrow and said:

"Where does your Wind Listening Pavilion get its information? You wouldn't have planted people around me, would you?"

Zhu Qingluan's beautiful eyes held a faint arrogance, like a proud female phoenix; she glanced lightly at Zhao Jiyao beside her and said:

"My Wind Listening Pavilion specializes in the business of selling information; our sphere of influence covers the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and our information channels are numerous—it's not something amateur forces can compare to!"

Zhao Jiyao was slightly taken aback, glanced at Zhu Qingluan, and turned her head away in disdain.

Zhu Qingluan continued:

"Currently, the people from the Hidden Sword Palace are resting in Shimen County, not far from Longhua Prefecture city; they plan to head straight to the Raging Flood Dragon Gang tomorrow morning to kill you in front of everyone in the world."

"This way, the Prodigy Gao Yang can not only avenge himself but also use this to boost the reputation of the Hidden Sword Palace!"

"So if you change your mind, there is still time to run now!"

"The Hidden Sword Palace and the Marquis of Annan's Estate will use every means to prevent you from escaping, but with the protection of my Wind Listening Pavilion, they will never find you!"

"No need!"

Yan Chu waved his hand and said to Wang Ping and his companion outside the carriage:

"Change direction, go to Qiushui Villa!"

The two women were stunned when they heard this; Zhu Qingluan couldn't help asking:

"What are you going to Qiushui Villa for?"

"Didn't you say Xu Chuo came for me?"

"Then I'll just solve him on the way!"

The reason he left the two Holy Lotus Sect strongholds untouched was purely because he treated them as spare hidden energy.

When there wasn't enough experience one day, he would go over to harvest them!

Now that a Great Grandmaster had arrived there, he would go solve him first.

Otherwise, after he killed those people from the Hidden Sword Palace, he was afraid that if Xu Chuo found out and ran away, he wouldn't know when he would be able to kill him again.

Wang Ping and his companion outside the carriage heard the order and had already turned the carriage around, heading towards Qiushui Villa.

The two women, Zhu Qingluan, still didn't quite understand.

Since Yan Chu came for the Hidden Sword Palace, why go deal with the Holy Lotus Sect?

Xu Chuo was, after all, a Great Grandmaster.

Whether he could kill him or not was one thing, but a great battle would inevitably consume a massive amount of Yan Chu's True Qi and stamina.

Afterward, facing the Hidden Sword Palace, wouldn't the situation be even more unfavorable?

At this moment, inside Qiushui Villa.

The most luxurious room where Qiu Luyang originally lived had naturally been given to Xu Chuo.

Someone was reporting to him.

"Chief Helmsman, according to the mole we planted in the Raging Flood Dragon Gang, 'peach blossoms on a human face' Shen Zuirong, who we have been searching for, is now hiding within the Raging Flood Dragon Gang."

"It seems she has already given herself to Yan Chu and become Yan Chu's woman!"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuo's face became extremely ugly.

"Bitch!!!"

"I trusted her so much; not only did I pass on our sect's secret Blood Moon Great Method to her, but I also gifted her the wuwei lotus seed for her cultivation—is this how she repays me?"

At this moment, Xu Chuo's eyes were incomparably gloomy, and he was gnashing his teeth.

That was a beauty on the beauties ranking list; who could not be tempted?

He broke the sect's rules and gave the wuwei lotus seed to her, just wanting to wait until her cultivation broke through to Grandmaster so he could Dual Cultivate with her, and both sides could gain immense benefits!

Otherwise, why would he risk offending the Old Marquis Sima Tao to hide Shen Zuirong?

Wasn't it just to be close to her beauty?

As a result, now you tell me that Shen Zuirong has become Yan Chu's woman?

"Where am I inferior to a mere brat?"

"Shen... Zuirong!"

Xu Chuo read Shen Zuirong's name word by word, his heart almost going mad with jealousy!

"If you dare to have a change of heart, I will throw Yan Chu's corpse in front of you when the time comes!"

Xu Chuo's tone was filled with an indescribable disappointment and anger after being betrayed, making the Holy Lotus Cult Members beside him very surprised.

As the Chief Helmsman of the Holy Lotus Sect, Xu Chuo had always been taciturn and imposing without anger.

At this moment, he was like a simp who loved someone he couldn't have; this scene was truly rare to see...
