Chapter 271: Taoyuan Festival
Chapter 271: Taoyuan Festival
Lu Jie was lying on the ground with his body swollen, but he was not dead yet. He glared at Shen Xiang with eyes as if he wanted to kill Shen Xiang, but now he had no strength left.
Shen Xiang stomped hard on his knee, crushing the bone on his knee directly, causing Lu Jie to scream miserably again.
"Don't you like forcing people to kneel? I will make sure you can't even kneel!" As he said that, Shen Xiang crushed the bone on his other knee. This brutal method made people's scalps numb and their backs cold. Those true disciples who had been with Lu Jie before couldn't help but retreat to a distance. Just now, Ying Qilai was knocked away by Shen Xiang's punch. They didn't want to suffer that kind of damn fist from Shen Xiang.
"Chen Xiang...you bastard, you will definitely die a miserable death...don't think you can kill me. Let me tell you, I am favored by the elders and the headmaster...I have a three-vein physique, my talent..."
Before he could finish, Shen Xiang laughed loudly, took out the Azure Dragon Demon-Slaying Knife, and slashed at his neck. Everyone was shocked and got goose bumps. Lu Jie was indeed a very talented person. If they killed a disciple like this, the headmaster would definitely blame them.
But so what? Shen Xiang was able to kill him, and with overwhelming force, which showed that Shen Xiang was more talented than him. Could it be that Taiwu Sect would cripple Shen Xiang? Impossible, not to mention that they were fighting a life-and-death battle, so he couldn't blame others.
Yun Xiaodao and the others felt that they had been living like dogs all these years. Originally, their strength was not much different from Shen Xiang's, but the gap in their thinking was now huge. This made them rush back to the Ace Martial Arts Academy to practice hard.
Shen Xiang burned Lu Jie's body on the spot. He had already sensed that Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming were watching from a distance. Their failure to stop him meant that they tacitly approved of his actions.
After entering Taiwu Xuanjing, Shen Xiang was pulled to Wu Kaiming's residence, where Gu Dongchen was also.
"Junior Master, your body is so strong! Just with your bare hands you should be able to knock down a fourth-level Zhenwu Realm warrior!" Gu Dongchen exclaimed.
"Of course, I have suffered a lot. To be honest, my body is at the fifth level of the Immortal Demon Body!" Shen Xiang sat on the chair, tapping his legs, shaking his feet, and said very proudly. Of course he had to show off in front of his nephews, so as not to be looked down upon by them.
Hearing Shen Xiang's words, Gu Dongchen almost dropped the teacup in his hand and looked at Shen Xiang in disbelief. The same was true for Wu Kaiming, whose old eyes widened.
Gu Dongchen could only sigh. His master was not as evil as Shen Xiang back then.
"By the way, why is that little girl nowhere to be seen? I miss her so much." Shen Xiang asked. Elder Dan had not shown up, which made him miss her very much.
"Junior sister often goes into seclusion and her whereabouts are erratic. Many people know this," said Gu Dongchen.
Wu Kaiming said: "Uncle Junior Master, didn't you discover something?"
Shen Xiang thought about it, shook his head and said: "What's the matter? I didn't find it."
"There are fewer disciples in the sect, especially the true disciples. They have all gone to Danxiang Taoyuan." Gu Dongchen said with a smile.
Chen Xiang frowned: "Why are they all going to Danxiang Taoyuan?"
"The preparations for the once-in-a-century elixir festival in Piaoxiang City are about to begin. There are still three months left, but it's already very lively there. The head sect leader and I will go there, and the heads of other sects may also go," said Wu Kaiming.
Shen Xiang had indeed heard of this event, and the finale there was the alchemy competition, which brought together many of the best alchemists in the Chenwu Continent. It was different from the alchemy competitions Shen Xiang had encountered before, as that competition was on a large scale, and there were also some famous alchemists participating.
"You are an alchemist, you should go and take a look. Do you want to go now or come with us?" Gu Dongchen asked.
"Of course we have to go now!" Shen Xiang said. There were many people there now, and a large auction would be held at any time. He wanted to collect some medicinal herbs.
"Isn't it too dangerous for you to be alone? Now not only are the righteous sects eyeing you, but the five evil sects also hate you to death." Gu Dongchen said with some concern.
"I'm not afraid!" Shen Xiang said indifferently. If he went alone, he would arrive soon.
Then, Gu Dongchen smiled at Wu Kaiming and said, "Someone is coming."
Chen Xiang frowned, and heard Long Xueyi giggle and said, "It's your sister Meng'er who is here, she's just outside the Taiwu Xuanjing."
Wu Kaiming hurriedly went out to greet them and brought Liu Meng'er here. Shen Xiang also shamelessly wanted to stay. He wanted to know what Liu Meng'er came for.
Liu Meng'er was wearing a white dress with long hair draped over her shoulders. Her fair face was full of coldness and nobility. Her light and unworldly temperament carried a kind of captivating royal arrogance. This peerless beauty made Shen Xiang secretly amazed. He rarely saw Liu Meng'er like this.
When Liu Meng'er saw Shen Xiang here, she couldn't help but be shocked, especially the rude posture of Shen Xiang sitting with his legs crossed. Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming didn't even say anything, which made her very confused, because she could see that Shen Xiang had an unusual relationship with these two giants, and she felt the same way.
Wu Kaiming winked at Shen Xiang, and Shen Xiang finally reacted. He quickly stood up and respectfully saluted Liu Meng'er. This made Liu Meng'er secretly laugh, but also a little happy at the same time, because when she was with Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang was very unruly.
Shen Xiang was very depressed. He had very good relations with these three giants, but now he had to pretend.
"Queen Liu, are you here to look for my junior sister?" Gu Dongchen asked with a smile. It was obvious that he had a good relationship with Liu Meng'er, otherwise he wouldn't have addressed her that.
"Is Elder Dan not here?" Liu Meng'er asked.
"It's long gone without a trace." Wu Kaiming sighed.
Liu Meng'er was a little disappointed: "I was planning to come find her and go to Danxiang Taoyuan with her to ask her to help me take pictures of the spiritual medicine. What a pity."
Shen Xiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Senior Liu, I'm about to go to Danxiang Taoyuan, but the headmaster and the others are worried about me going, I wonder if you can go with me? I also know a little about spiritual medicine."
Thinking about traveling with this little bad guy Shen Xiang, Liu Meng'er felt conflicted. She really wanted to be with Shen Xiang, but she was afraid that Shen Xiang would take advantage of her, especially when there was no one else around.
"Miss Liu, this kid has caused a lot of trouble, and he is in a hurry to go to Danxiang Taoyuan. We are worried about him going alone. Although the journey is not very far." Wu Kaiming said.
Liu Meng'er cursed Shen Xiang in her heart. The last time Shen Xiang went to her Divine Weapon Kingdom, he was safe both ways.
However, Piaoxiang City to Danxiang Taoyuan is indeed far away, and it is easy to be ambushed on the road. She was a little worried about Shen Xiang. She nodded and agreed, which made Shen Xiang very happy.
