160: Wanfang Chaofeng Tu

On the eve of the Heavenly Pride Battle, Cao Bu stood before the mountain gate with a group of Elders, gazing into the distance.

Behind him stood the children of Gu Qingtian; or more accurately, all of Gu Qingtian's daughters.

"Today is truly a good day!" Cao Bu sighed softly.

Gu Yingying, standing beside him, tilted her head and asked, "Big Brother, the Heavenly Pride Battle doesn't start until tomorrow. Shouldn't the good day be tomorrow?"

A trace of hidden meaning flashed in Cao Bu's eyes as he followed her lead, saying, "Big Brother remembered wrong. Tomorrow is the real good day."

Gu Yingying frowned slightly, feeling that Cao Bu was being inexplicable.

Little did she know, the "good day" in Cao Bu's mouth referred to the imminent reunion with those women with whom he had shared intimate moments.

And his sworn brother, Lu Chen.

Since they had traveled from afar, he had to fulfill his duties as a Host and entertain them properly.

"System, give me five draws to celebrate."

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a supreme dao emperor weapon—the Nine-Turn God-Slaying Cauldron!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a mad demon card!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a supreme dao emperor weapon—the Nine Heavens Cloud Neon Satin!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a supreme dao emperor weapon—the sky-swallowing demonic jar!】

As long as a woman's Essence Blood and a wisp of her Primordial Spirit were implanted into the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram, one could control her life and death.

The limit could reach ten thousand people, and those controlled would enter the diagram to Cultivate, with efficiency far exceeding the outside world by a hundredfold.

The mad demon card could cause a designated Child of Luck to fall into madness, ensuring their death within one hundred days.

The corners of Cao Bu's mouth curled up slightly; this haul was not bad.

This System was reliable.

Just then, Gu Yingying gently shook his arm and pointed toward the distant horizon: "Big Brother, someone is coming!"

Cao Bu composed himself and looked up, seeing hundreds of figures flying through the air.

Among the crowd, the figures of Leng Feng and Su Chen were particularly striking. The young men and women following closely behind had burning gazes, clearly the contestants here to participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle.

Cao Bu was naturally very polite to his two brothers-in-law.

He took the initiative to step forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "So it is my Fellow Daoists from the Su Clan and the Leng Clan. You have traveled far to participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle; your efforts are appreciated."

"The Gu Clan has already prepared a place for you to rest. I hope all you Prodigies will shine brightly tomorrow."

Leng Feng and Su Chen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Before coming, they had heard that not only had Cao Bu's Dantian recovered, but he was now the Vice Clan Leader of the Gu Clan.

The two scrutinized Cao Bu, their hearts filled with confusion.

They couldn't figure out how Cao Bu, an outsider with a different surname, had managed to secure such a position.

However, since Cao Bu was so polite, they could not be rude either, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Greetings, Vice Clan Leader Cao."

"You two are too kind. Please follow the Eighth Elder to rest." Cao Bu stepped aside and ordered loudly.

The Eighth Elder stepped forward in response: "Everyone from the Su Clan and the Leng Clan, please follow me."

Just as Leng Feng and Su Chen were about to pass by, Cao Bu suddenly spoke: "You two, where are your Dao Companions? Why didn't they accompany you?"

Both of them furrowed their brows simultaneously. Leng Feng said in a deep voice, "Vice Clan Leader Cao is joking. I am still single."

Su Chen also nodded: "Me too."

A trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Cao Bu's eyes.

These two thousand-year-old single dogs—it was one thing that they couldn't find a Dao Companion, but they didn't even know how to find a sweetheart.

That way, he could have let the two brothers taste the bitterness of love.

Cao Bu hurriedly smiled and apologized: "It was my presumption."

The two frowned even deeper.

They just took a deep look at Cao Bu and were about to leave with the Eighth Elder.

At that moment, a stream of light cut across the sky and stopped steadily in front of the mountain gate.

As the light dissipated, a team of hundreds appeared; it was the people from Yunxiao Pavilion.

Yun Shang spotted the woman leading the group at a glance and rushed forward to throw herself at her: "Mother! You've finally come!"

Lu Qingwu smiled and patted her daughter's back, her tone carrying a hint of reproach: "You are already the wife of the Gu Clan Chief, yet you are still so impetuous."

Yun Shang hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "In front of Mother, I will always be your little girl."

Lu Qingwu shook her head helplessly, though her eyes were filled with doting affection.

After the people from Yunxiao Pavilion exchanged pleasantries with Yun Shang, they walked toward Cao Bu together.

Cao Bu's gaze fell upon Lu Qingwu; that swaying, graceful figure reminded him of their brief, intimate moments in the past.

"Greetings, Vice Clan Leader Cao."

Lu Qingwu spoke first, her eyes filled with a touch of disbelief as she scrutinized Cao Bu.

For Cao Bu to sit in this position as an outsider with a different surname was truly a unique occurrence in the Spirit Realm for ten million years.

"Madam Lu, you are too kind. Please, enter."

Cao Bu lingered for a moment on her exquisite figure before reluctantly shifting his gaze away.

Just as everyone was about to head to the resting place arranged by the Gu Clan, the firmament suddenly tore open with dozens of cracks, and dozens of teams of Cultivators flew out from them.

Following that, major forces arrived one after another.

The Endless Fire Territory, the Explosive Heavens Faction, the Axe Gang, the Buddhist Sect, the Lin Clan, the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty, the Salted Fish Sect...

The Lin Clan's team was led by Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Wei. Cao Bu spotted Lin Dong and Lin Rou in the crowd at a glance.

The current Lin Rou's figure was several times hotter than before, making him pause in surprise.

Lin Dong, not far away, noticed his gaze and whispered to Lin Rou: "I told you to dress more conservatively, but you wouldn't listen. Look at the gazes around you, and even that Cao Bu, he's almost drooling."

Lin Rou replied dismissively: "It's just drooling. What, is he going to eat me?"

Lin Dong shook his head helplessly; he really couldn't persuade this younger sister.

Cao Bu's gaze then turned to the camp of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty.

When he saw the figure of Tang Shuying, a meaningful smile rippled in his eyes.

Tang Shuying happened to look over as well, and the moment their eyes met, her cheeks instantly flushed.

Those days and nights of intimacy with Cao Bu uncontrollably flooded her mind, and her body involuntarily stirred with a strange throbbing sensation.

She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling both ashamed and resentful.

Ever since she had become entangled with Cao Bu, she could no longer feel any pleasure when intimate with Chu Tianxuan, leaving only endless emptiness.

Now, seeing Cao Bu again, those suppressed feelings were stirring once more, making it hard for her to control herself.

Another figure in the camp also attracted Cao Bu's attention; that woman stood quietly beside Chu Hao, possessing a stunning appearance.

Cao Bu couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

He had been in this world for several hundred years, why hadn't anyone fallen for him because of his looks?

Was he not handsome enough? He fancied himself comparable to the Daniel Wu of his past life.

Seemingly noticing Cao Bu's gaze, Chu Hao subconsciously pulled the Ye Lingxi beside him backward, his eyes filled with vigilance.

This bastard had broken him and Gu Yin apart; if he broke him and Ye Lingxi apart too, he would probably be crying his eyes out.

Just then, a flying ship tore through the sky and instantly hovered above the Gu Clan's mountain gate.

Cao Bu saw the flag on the ship clearly, the corners of his mouth curling into a knowing smile, and he waved his hand, calling out: "Brother, Big Brother is here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was curious—who was Cao Bu's "Big Brother"? They all looked up.

When they saw the large flag with the character "Chu" fluttering on the flying ship, many already had a vague guess, but they still couldn't believe it.
