Inside the Emperor's palace.

Gui Wuchou and Blood Spirit Child were taken aback when they saw Chu Kuangren's sudden appearance.

Never in a thousand years did they expect to see him here.

This especially held true for Gui Wuchou, who had just recalled the times when he was outshone by Chu Kuangren three years ago. Then, at the very next moment, this person appeared in front of him. What kind of sick joke was this?

Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren could not care less about these two. He scanned around the palace, and when he noticed the treasures around him, he remained calm. He had seen so many treasures before in his life that he had developed a resistance toward them.

Not even Sage Ruler-grade treasures could entice him now.

Only when he saw those Emperor-grade Supreme Elixirs and that Emperor Scripture did it pique his interest. “Oh, Emperor-grade Supreme Elixirs. Now, these are valuable treasures, but I'm not quite sure what it can do.”

Supreme Elixirs each had their own unique use. Some were used to improve cultivation, some used to alter natural endowments, while some were used to heal injuries…

Beside him, Gui Wuchou and Blood Spirit Child looked annoyed at how Chu Kuangren had disregarded them as if they were not there.

This kind of ignorance made them feel extremely disrespected.

What was he trying to portray here?!

Were they nothing to him?

No matter what, they were still the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard's sky-prides!

“Blood Spirit Child, have you noticed anything strange about him?”

Gui Wuchou communicated with Blood Spirit Child through spiritual thought.

“Yes, I've noticed it too. There isn't an ounce of spiritual power fluctuations on his body. It seems that he hasn't broken the Heavenly Punishment Seal yet.”

“Pft, we're talking about a seal that even the Emperors of Old found difficult to remove. What makes you think a person like him could pull that off?”

Gui Wuchou sneered.

“This is our chance.”

“You mean…”

Blood Spirit Child's eyebrow raised.

“While those two ladies are occupied, let's kill off Chu Kuangren, s.n.a.t.c.h this Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune, and leave,” Gui Wuchou said.

Even though they were both heavily wounded, they imagined that it would be a simple feat to kill a normal folk with zero cultivation base.

“This…” Blood Spirit Child seemed a little hesitant.

“This is an Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune. Are you willing to let it go just like that? Don't you want to seek revenge on that unfaithful b*tch out there?” Gui Wuchou prompted him.

“Let's attack him together!”

Blood Spirit Child gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

“Yes, we shall.”

The two of them forced their injured bodies up and exchanged glances with each other. Then, they summoned their spiritual powers simultaneously and lambasted them toward Chu Kuangren's back.

“Why do you have to seek your own deaths like that?”

Chu Kuangren shook his head

Behind his back, numerous runes had begun to ama.s.s into a golden light barrier, barricading the two's energies from reaching him.

“How did he do that?!”

“Runes?”

The two's expressions changed. They had been in the Qitai Mountain for the past few days, so they were oblivious to the news that had unfolded in the outside world.

Hence, they were unaware of Chu Kuangren's runic prowess.

This sudden appearance of runes gave them no time to react. Their immensely powerful force landed on the light barrier and rebounded on them.

Spat… spat…

The two of them coughed out blood as they were blasted over a couple of dozen meters backward.

“How can there be runes? Doesn't he have the seal on him?”

Extremely puzzled looks appeared on their faces.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren had already started to keep all the treasures around him into his Yin and Yang Ring. When he was done, he turned around to look at them blankly.

With a lift of his arm, two runic swords formed.

“Uh oh.”

The two wanted to stand up and flee the scene.

However, the runic swords were already flying toward them. In the blink of an eye, the swords pierced their bodies, and they exploded into blood mists.

After that, Chu Kuangren stepped out of the palace.

Outside the palace.

“Dumb wh.o.r.e, I'll kill you!”

Greenmist Dairy stared at Lan Yu with malice.

“I should've ended your life when you tried to seduce my Master a few years ago. I can't believe that all it took was a few years for you to develop to this stage. How many men have you bewitched up till this point?”

Lan Yu said ruthlessly.

Her words pierced right into Greenmist Fairy's heart.

A few years ago, she tried seducing Chu Kuangren but failed miserably, and she was banished from the Jadewater Sect. Throughout these few years, she had sacrificed everything to climb up to the top. By now, selling her body to achieve her means was already a basic routine for her.

Only with the help of some Opportunities of Fortunes did she finally garner the reputation and influence she had today. When she finally returned to Jadewater Sect, she brutally killed the same sect leader who had banished her back then and took the sect's helm for herself.

She coined herself the name, Greenmist Fairy.

Nevertheless, Lan Yu and Chu Kuangren's reappearance had made her recall her humiliating past. Moreover, the combat strength that she had sacrificed everything to obtain was even so fragile before Lan Yu!

“D*mn it, I can't stand this any longer…”

Greenmist Fairy picked up her sword and thrust it in Lan Yu's direction.

Despite that, she was blasted off her feet by Lan Yu's one punch.

At that moment, Chu Kuangren had just come out of the palace. He was quite surprised to see how much of a dismay Greenmist Fairy was in.

He seldom saw Lan Yu do such a thing to someone.

It seemed that Lan Yu had harbored quite a strong hatred toward this person.

However, who the h*ll was this lady?

She did look familiar.

Chu Kuangren stole a couple more glances at the lady in question before he seemed to have recalled something. He finally remembered who she was, but he did not care at all.

“Master Chu, Master Chu, please have mercy on me. I promise I will never do it again.” At this moment, Greenmist Fairy crawled to Chu Kuangren's feet.

Chu Kuangren took a couple of steps back instead.

He looked at her, his face emotionless. He felt no sympathy toward her at all.

“Master Chu, I've made a mistake…”

Greenmist Fairy continued to beg for mercy.

“The fact that you're casting a spell while you're begging for mercy, you truly are a relentless b*tch.” Chu Kuangren suddenly remarked.

Upon hearing this, Greenmist Fairy's expression changed. She suddenly lunged forward and tried to grab Chu Kuangren, attempting to subdue him.

At the same time, her body released a Daoist Rhyme that was usually unnoticeable for an average cultivator, and it filled the air.

It was her specialized ultimate move, Baleful Mist of Demise!

“How dumb are you?” Chu Kuangren lifted his arm and struck out a runic sword, throwing Greenmist Fairy into the air.

“No way. How are you not affected by my Baleful Mist of Demise?!” Greenmist Fairy exclaimed in utter disbelief.

Ever since she had mastered the Baleful Mist of Demise, this was the first time it had failed.

“I just needed to prepare myself to brace it.”

Chu Kuangren replied calmly.

His spiritual thought was incredibly sharp. Others may not notice the Baleful Mist of Demise's Daoist Rhyme, but for him, it was effortless. He merely had to use his mind power to isolate that surge of Daoist Rhyme beforehand, and he would be spared from its effects.

“Retreat!”

Greenmist Fairy's face was full of terror.

She was already not a match for Lan Yu alone. Hence, with Chu Kuangren who could utilize runic energy, the only option left for her if she stayed would be death!

She darted towards the exit of the secret realm.

Chu Kuangren was about to raise one arm and wipe her out once and for all.

Yet at that moment, a white light spear that contained a surge of incredibly majestic force suddenly shot out from his side, making its way toward Greenmist Fairy.

Just when Greenmist Fairy was inches away from exiting the secret realm, the white spear penetrated shot across the air and pierced her. Even so, she was sent flying with the spear. Along with several booms, she crashed into a few mountain peaks.

In the end, she was pinned onto a canyon wall.

Back inside the secret realm, Lan Yu withdrew the Holy Radiant Daoist Rhyme on her body. “This person doesn't even have the right to die in your hands, so I've taken care of it for you, Master.”

“That's not a bad thing either.”

Chu Kuangren was stunned for a moment, but he eventually nodded his head.

It seemed that Lan Yu truly despised this Greenmist Fairy.

She even sought to deliver Greenmist Fairy's death with her own hands.
