Chapter 694

Looking at Zhou Liang who was approaching rapidly with a gloomy expression, Yang Kai’s entire Qi seemed to be suppressed by the opponent’s aura. His hands and feet were cold and he couldn’t move at all.

The Saint Realm powerhouse was two major realms higher than his current cultivation. If the opponent really wanted to kill, he had no power to resist, and even Fei Yu couldn’t escape this disaster.

Zhai Yao, who was standing behind Yang Kai, suddenly muttered something softly, and the expressions of Yang Kai and Fei Yu were both surprised and suspicious.

Zhou Liang ignored Yang Kai and Fei Yu and went straight to Zhai Yao, asking eagerly, “Did Young Master Zhai get injured？”

His voice was filled with urgency and concern, and there was even a hint of worry and fear, as if he was very afraid that Zhai Yao had been injured in the previous battle.

The whole audience was in an uproar. Nie Chufeng’s smile froze on her face and she stood there stupidly. Nie Cong also opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

“It’s okay.” Zhai Yao slowly shook his head.

That’s good.” Zhou Liang let out a soft breath, his expression relaxed, and there was a look of fear in his brows. He said gently, “Young Master Zhai was frightened. Zhou Liang came late. Please don’t take offense, Young Master Zhai.”

Zhai Yao smiled slightly： “It doesn’t matter.”

Only then did Zhou Liang look at Yang Kai and Fei Yu, nodded slightly and asked, “Are they Young Master Zhai’s friends？”

“Yes.” Zhai Yao smiled： “Newly made friends.”

Zhou Liang’s expression instantly became amiable. He looked at Yang Kai approvingly and said, “The younger generation is awesome. Since they are Young Master Zhai’s friends, they are the honored guests of my Floating Cloud City. Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter！”

As he spoke, his expression turned cold, like the eve of a storm. He turned around and strode towards Nie Chufeng.

Nie Chufeng still hadn’t come back to her senses. Her gaze was chaotic, and the scene in front of her was simply unacceptable to her.

Although Zhai Yao had taken out Ao Gu’s Golden Dragon Token before, it after all only represented that he was a guest of Ao Gu. Why was Zhou Liang being so polite to him again and even had a hint of deliberate flattering?

Could it be that this young man had a force behind him that even Zhou Liang was extremely afraid of？

When she came back to her senses, Zhou Liang was already standing in front of her.

Uncle Zhou…

Pa…

A extremely loud slap sounded. Nie Cong was sent flying like a tattered sack, rolled several times in mid-air, and fell to the ground without a sound, fainting.

What are you doing, Zhou Liang？” Nie Chufeng’s beautiful eyes gradually regained clarity. As soon as she saw Nie Cong being knocked unconscious, she immediately roared in a hoarse voice. ”

Pa…

Another clear slap sound was heard. A row of five-finger prints appeared on Nie Chufeng’s pretty face, and bright red blood flowed out from the corner of her thin and tender lips.

With her hand covering her cheek, Nie Chufeng’s beautiful eyes trembled. She looked at the man in front of her who had always loved her with fear and horror, and suddenly felt that this person was so strange.

The coldness on Zhou Liang’s face made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and boundless coolness welled up in her heart.

“Bitch, do you know what you have done？” Zhou Liang asked in a cold voice.

Nie Chufeng shook her head in a trance.

“Stupid woman！” Zhou Liang’s eyes were sharp. He said coldly： “Over the years, you have used my name to do evil and swindle in Fuyun City with your bastard. I just turned a blind eye and let you have your way. But today, I can no longer tolerate you！”

“Why？” Nie Chufeng screamed.

“You have offended someone you shouldn’t have offended!” Zhou Liang’s expression was indifferent. “You go, take your bastard and get as far away as possible. From now on, never set foot in Fuyun City again. If I see you here, you know the consequences.”

Nie Chufeng’s face lost its color, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Zhou Liang in shock and disbelief, as if she didn’t expect him to say such heartless words.

“Hurry up and get out！” Seeing that she didn’t move, Zhou Liang shouted angrily.

Feeling Zhou Liang’s killing intent, Nie Chufeng’s delicate body trembled. She suddenly realized that he wasn’t joking, and then understood how powerful the force behind Zhai Yao was.

Nie Chufeng was sure that even if she had offended the people of the Augur family, Zhou Liang wouldn’t have treated her like this. But now, his horror and unrighteousness made Nie Chufeng see the horror of the force behind Zhai Yao.

That was a behemoth that even Zhou Liang had to act according to its words.

After understanding this, Nie Chufeng immediately burst into tears and pleaded, “Zhou Liang, don’t be so cruel. I know I was wrong. Can I apologize to him? I will never provoke him again.”

Nie Chufeng was only a Transcendent First Realm cultivator, without any sect. She had only won Zhou Liang’s favor with her looks and body and was able to live a carefree life in Fuyun City. Without Zhou Liang, with her strength and capital, she simply couldn’t achieve this.

Over the years, she had offended quite a few people in Fuyun City.

Once she was out of Zhou Liang’s protection, she herself was very clear about what kind of end awaited her.

In full view of the public, Nie Chufeng knelt down on the ground, hugged Zhou Liang’s thigh, and pleaded loudly.

The onlookers not only didn’t feel sorry for this beautiful woman, but most of them instead showed a kind of pleasant expression.

This beautiful woman was obviously unpopular in Fuyun City and had done a lot of bad things.

Zhou Liang looked completely indifferent and just looked down at her coldly.

Nie Chufeng gradually despaired. Knowing that the other party would not change his mind, her expression suddenly calmed down. She stroked the messy hair by her ear, slowly got up and said, “Zhou Liang, you drive me away, and I have no complaints. But for the sake of so many years of affection, I still have one thing to ask you. I hope you can agree. If you agree, I will leave now！”

Looking at the other party’s beautiful face, Zhou Liang’s expression moved. It seemed that he thought of the past beauty and slightly sighed, “Speak, I can fulfill your last wish.”

Nie Chufeng smiled reluctantly, and said in a low voice “Last night I heard you say that a very powerful alchemist came to the City Lord’s Mansion. Can you ask him to help refine a pill to reconnect Cong’er’s broken arm? Since you said he is very powerful, then with his means, he should be able to refine such a pill, right?

“Can be refined.” Zhou Liang nodded.

“Then…” Nie Chufeng’s face lit up.

“But I can’t fulfill this request for you.”

“Why?” Nie Chufeng suddenly became a little hysterical. “One day of husband and wife is a hundred days of grace. Do you really want to be so heartless?

“It’s not that I’m unfaithful, it’s that you’re too stupid.” Zhou Liang leaned over and whispered in Nie Chufeng’s ear “The young man you offended is the only disciple of that alchemist master. That alchemist master is someone that Augur, Golden Horn, and I dare not provoke.”

Nie Chufeng’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

“Get lost.” Zhou Liang waved his hand. “I hope you won’t be so short-sighted in the future.”

Nie Chufeng’s face was filled with indescribable grief and indignation. She tightly bit her thin lips, and blood oozed out. Then she bent down to pick up Nie Cong who was unconscious on the ground, gave a resentful and venomous look at Zhou Liang and Zhai Yao, and then used her movement technique to quickly disappear from everyone’s sight.

Among the onlookers, quite a few people quietly retreated with cold expressions and followed behind Nie Chufeng.

It’s time to settle the score with this poisonous woman. Those who have grudges will take revenge, and those who have hatred will seek vengeance.

Zhou Liang witnessed all this but didn’t stop it.

“This woman is doomed.” Yang Kai muttered softly.

“Serves her right.” Fei Yu curled her lips. She looked down on this kind of woman who sold her charm to curry favor with the powerful and noble but had no self-awareness the most.

Zhou Liang walked over and looked at Yang Kai and Fei Yu with a kind expression and said, “Since the two of you are friends of Young Master Zhai, how about staying in the City Lord’s Mansion for a few days？ There should still be some time before the blooming of the Millennium Demon Flower.”

Zhai Yao also looked at Yang Kai with some anticipation, seemingly hoping that he could go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “I have several uncles who are out handling matters. We have to wait here for them to come back, so we won’t bother you.”

“In that case, I won’t force you. If you two have the time, you can come to the City Lord’s Mansion at any time.” Zhou Liang smiled slightly and looked at Zhai Yao, saying, “Young Master Zhai, let’s go back first.”

Zhai Yao responded, nodded at Yang Kai as a, and quickly left with Zhou Liang.

It was completely silent all around. The onlookers seemed not to have recovered from the incident just now, and everyone’s face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

For an unknown young man, Zhou Liang not only hit his beloved mistress but also drove her out of Floating Cloud City. He was truly extremely cold and heartless.

Moreover, just because Yang Kai and Fei Yu had some relationship with that young man, they were warmly invited by a figure like Zhou Liang.

The background of that young man was, it seemed, too great.

It was a long time later that the crowd gradually dispersed. Some busybodies wanted to find out information about Zhai Yao from Yang Kai, but Yang Kai and Fei Yu didn’t give them the chance and had already hidden in the inn.

They were also somewhat shocked.

Although he felt that Zhai Yao had some background, Yang Kai found that he still underestimated the other party’s origin and background.

After guessing with Fei Yu for a while, they still couldn’t get the point and could only give up.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, after Zhai Yao returned, he immediately went to meet his teacher.

In a quiet private room, Zhai Yao’s teacher was closing his eyes and resting his mind. Zhai Yao gently walked in and waited for a long time before the old man slowly opened his eyes.

“Teacher, I lost again.” Zhai Yao took a light breath.

“Lost again？” The old man was surprised when he heard this.

“Yes. Teacher, take a look at this spirit pill.” Zhai Yao respectfully handed over the spirit pill refined by Yang Kai.

The old man took it and his eyes lit up immediately： “Dan pattern？”

He released his spiritual sense to sense it for a while, and his expression changed constantly. Suddenly, he let out a soft again. After a long while, he handed the spirit pill back to Zhai Yao and after pondering for a while, said: “This is the pill refined by your opponent?”

“Yes.”

“What kind of a person is he？”

“About the same age as me.” Zhai Yao quickly described Yang Kai’s appearance.

The old man listened quietly, stroking his beard. After listening, he said： “This young man is really remarkable.”

“Why do you say that？”

“His alchemy technique is a bit clumsy. It seems that he has not received strict teaching. In other words, unlike you, he does not have his own teacher.”

“No way？” Zhai Yao exclaimed.
