Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 582 - 561 Favoritism (1/3)

A woman’s charm is not just in her face; her figure is also a crucial part, and Yang Lanxin’s face is no less beautiful. Together, they make her one of the most famous beauties in Xihai City... one of them.

At least within the scope of Wild Horse City, Yang Lanxin is definitely the top beauty in name and reality, but not many have actually seen her. Mostly, her reputation spreads by word of mouth, amplifying as the story is told and retold.

"So this is Blood Rakshasa, indeed beautiful and glamorous, seductively to the bone!"

"Damn it, such a delicate flower actually stuck in a pile of cow dung, I really can’t accept it!"

"Can’t accept it? Why don’t you go kill Fu Zewen yourself?"

"Pah, killing a person from the Fu Family, this guy is bound to be doomed!"

"Yeah, although the Yang family also has the power of a Moonlight Emperor, they fall far short when compared to the Fu Family! Even if the Blood Rakshasa wanted to protect this kid, she wouldn’t have the strength, let alone her father!"

"Heh heh, this is what they call a ’beauty’s curse’!"

Most people were just watching the excitement; after all, it didn’t concern them. They too had backgrounds of Moonlight Emperor-level, and even if they couldn’t match the Fu Family, they were also not someone the Fu family would want to offend without good reason.

Wild Horse City was large, but it took only a little over ten minutes before a tumultuous noise erupted from outside, as a large crowd poured in.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, his appearance strikingly handsome, and his cultivation level had reached that of a Moonlight Sovereign, exuding a natural aura of authority with every step he took.

He saw Fu Zewen’s headless corpse, and Fu Zewen’s head that had rolled far away, still not closed due to shock. His expression immediately turned angry and sorrowful.

He was Fu Zewen’s father, Fu Liding.

He knew all too well his son’s shortcomings, but still, that was his son! Moreover, most immortals have few offspring, and he had only two descendants, with the other being a daughter, who could not carry on his family line!

His son was dead!

Fu Liding’s gaze quickly locked onto Zhou Heng, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

No matter who it was, anyone who killed his son would not be allowed to live!

"Seventh Master Fu, please show respect for my face, and do not cause trouble in my Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion!" Lian Jingxiang finally showed herself, stepping forward gracefully. Although she was not as stunningly beautiful as the Moon Shadow Saintess or as enchantingly attractive as Yang Lanxin, she was still a rare beauty who provided a feast for the eyes.

Unfortunately, her expression was too cold!

Of course, being cold had its advantages; some men just liked to conquer such women, feeling an extreme sense of achievement.

Fu Liding showed a serious expression.

He didn’t know the background of Lian Jingxiang, but he knew that anyone who could hold their ground in Wild Horse City had to have real capability, especially since her Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was the most famous place to spend gold in the city!

How could such a good business not attract envy? Yet the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion managed to run smoothly and safely year after year, without anyone daring to cause trouble!

What did this indicate?

She had a deep and powerful backing!

At another time, Fu Liding would definitely have given face, but now with his son’s body still warm, how could he swallow his anger?

"Miss Lian’s face is, of course, to be given. I will take this boy away immediately!" Fu Liding pointed at Zhou Heng, his eyes swirling with endless killing intent.

Lian Jingxiang wasn’t worried about Zhou Heng’s safety. After all, he was a Three Stars Pharmacist, and there were plenty of families with Sunshine Kings who would fawn over him. What’s the big deal about the Fu Family? To put it plainly, she stepped forward to sell a favor to Zhou Heng.

Her expression remained icy as she said, "Once inside my Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, they are my guests. Seventh Master Fu, if you want to arrest someone, fine, wait until he leaves Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Then, you may do as you please!"

"But here, whoever dares to touch a hair on my guests is declaring themselves an enemy of Lian Jingxiang!"

Her words resonated with firmness.

Favoritism! It couldn’t have been more obvious!

Fu Liding stared coldly at Lian Jingxiang; he was unclear about her background, but he had been warned by the elders in his family to not provoke Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

For the family elder to warn so cautiously, the background of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion must be alarmingly powerful!

Though Fu Liding harbored hatred for the murder of his son, he was ultimately a scion of a great family and a smart man, knowing when to step back. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since Miss Lian has spoken, how could I dare not to comply? However, I also hope Miss Lian will keep her promise!"

"Of course!" Lian Jingxiang said indifferently.

In fact, it wouldn’t take long, at most three days, for the Pharmacists Association to create Zhou Heng’s identity token. Then, even if Fu Liding had a hundred times the courage, would he dare to make a move against Zhou Heng?

Not just Fu Liding wouldn’t dare, but neither the entire Fu Family nor even the Situ Family, who controlled Wild Horse City, would dare! freёwebnoѵel.com

"Let’s go!" Fu Liding waved his right hand, instructing his subordinates to carry away his son’s body along with the bodies of several attendants. He glared at Zhou Heng for at least ten seconds, as if to imprint his face in his memory, before finally turning to leave.

Zhou Heng merely smiled faintly, as though he didn’t take the Fu Family seriously at all.

He had originally planned to kill Fu Liding on the spot, but since Lian Jingxiang had done him a favor—though it was a favor he didn’t need, given that she had meant well, he should return the courtesy!

Therefore, he decided to take care of Fu Liding after leaving the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion!

"Brother Zhou, I really don’t know what to say about you," Lian Jingxiang shook her head, an expression of utter helplessness on her face, "The Pharmacists Association will surely make your identity plaque within three days, so you might as well stay with me for a few days!"

Zhou Heng laughed heartily and said, "Your place charges too much. If it wasn’t for Brother Situ treating me today, I wouldn’t dare to come in, so I’ll pass on staying for a few days!"

Lian Jingxiang was slightly taken aback. Being a smart woman, she could tell that Zhou Heng wasn’t truly out of money or being stingy; he was simply a thorn in the side, eager to pick a fight with the Fu Family!

This guy really thought too highly of himself!

Two Moonlight Sovereigns, one Moonlight King, and he dared to walk so brazenly in Wild Horse City? It’s true that the Yang family had a Moonlight Emperor, but firstly, help from afar couldn’t solve immediate troubles, and secondly, merely having two Moonlight Emperors was hardly enough to sit on equal terms with the Fu Family!

Zhou Heng’s prowess in Alchemy Technique was indeed impressively formidable, but without flaunting the title of Three Stars Pharmacist, who would know it?

Well, that’s good, adding flowers to the brocade is never as precious as offering coal in snowy weather! Once Zhou Heng had suffered enough at the hands of the Fu Family and found himself encircled, if she extended a helping hand, then the debt of gratitude would be immense!

"Brother Zhou, if there’s anything you need, just say the word!" Situ Ling could no longer sit still; if he didn’t step up now, all the favors would be snatched up by Lian Jingxiang!

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "I can handle this bit of trouble by myself!"

Regardless of the Fu Family’s background, the most powerful families in Hai Immortal City could only have Moonlight Emperors, not anyone from the Sunshine Realm. Hence, although his power was still somewhat lacking compared to a One Wheel Moonlight Emperor, having stepped into the realm of Moonlight Emperor, even the Peak Moonlight Emperor was nothing to fear.

Enough to protect himself!

And just as Lian Jingxiang and Situ Ling thought, he also had the title of Three Stars Pharmacist, which would certainly be confirmed within three days. At that time, let alone the small Fu Family, even the family of a Sunshine King wouldn’t dare to harm a single hair on him!

Fu Zewen dared to take liberties with his woman, and that had thoroughly enraged him. If the Fu Family swallowed their pride and behaved, he wouldn’t be interested in stirring up trouble, but if they refused to let things go, the Meng Family would serve as a lesson!

Situ Ling and Lian Jingxiang exchanged glances, both reading the same thought in each other’s eyes.

In their opinion, Zhou Heng was getting a bit too big for his boots!

Indeed, possessing such profound Alchemy Technique was enough to be proud! However, it was bitter for them; they had to keep a close watch on Zhou Heng for at least the next three days to ensure he didn’t get into any trouble!

"Those people just now, what’s their background?" Zhou Heng asked with a smile.

Situ Ling and Lian Jingxiang both felt faint, this fellow had killed someone and didn’t even know who they were—what were they supposed to say?

"The one you killed was named Fu Zewen, he was just a debauched scion, but behind him, the Fu Family is one of the ten great families of Wild Horse City. Their strength could even squeeze into the top ten, and the family has at least twelve Moonlight Emperor Old Ancestors!" still, Situ Ling said.

This was indeed very powerful, but still not enough to frighten Zhou Heng!

His heart was already set on Juexian City, eager for a thrilling battle with those Creation Emperors. Possessing such ambition, how could he fear a mere Moonlight Emperor family?

Of course, fearlessness was one thing, but Zhou Heng also would not be complacent.

He nodded slightly and said, "Brother Situ, let’s call it a day. I’ll return the favor some other time! Miss Lian, I bid you farewell!" He waved at the Moon Shadow Saintess and Yang Lanxin, unable to wait any longer for a chance to unleash havoc.

For him, reaching Eight-Wheel Moonlight Emperor was only the beginning; therefore, he needed countless Life Essence Qi to enhance his Spiritual Power reserves, and he was just lamenting the lack of evil ones he could slay!

At least twelve Moonlight Emperors!

If he could slaughter them all, that should be enough to propel him to the peak of Moonlight Emperor.

Situ Ling’s expression soured, as the situation had arisen suddenly, and he hadn’t had the chance to request reinforcements from his family yet, while Lian Jingxiang had previously stated she would not intervene in matters outside of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion!

Things seemed a bit troublesome now!

Although he was the most valued of the younger generation in the Situ Family, that was only within the family; with the Fu Family having lost a direct descendent, they may not give him any consideration.

"Miss Yang, maybe you should persuade Brother Zhou to stay a bit longer?" he said to Yang Lanxin, in the hopes that the young miss of the Yang family could stop Zhou Heng from acting so rashly.

Yang Lanxin just smiled faintly, shaking her head. She knew Zhou Heng’s temper well; once he had made up his mind, not even eight oxen could hold him back.

How could this family be so stubborn?

Now Situ Ling was regretting it; if he had interceded when Fu Zewen had a conflict with Zhou Heng, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult predicament.

But there is no such thing as a pill for regret in the world!

Zhou Heng strode out of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
