Chapter 627: Chapter 229: Shocking Escape from the Holy Land, Communication with Lingxuzi! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2
With that in mind and feeling that there were no other problems, Liang Sheng continued his journey, staying far behind the cultivators from the Seeking-Truth Lineage.
In a short time, they shouldn’t have any more trouble because the Immortal City Cultivators wouldn’t be so foolish. They would definitely focus on the Ancient Desolate Springs as well.
The outcome now depended on which side had better luck.
…
Longevity Immortal City.
Since Zhou Shen became the Immortal City Lord, not all cultivators within the city were convinced. The lingering forces of the original City Lord were still causing trouble in secret.
The Zi Zai independent cultivator didn’t care about this at all. After all, if Zhou Shen couldn’t handle such a small matter, he wasn’t worthy of sitting in the position of City Lord.
However, Zhou Shen was young and couldn’t handle everything perfectly, but luckily Jin Quanxiu was there to fill in the gaps. With the support of the Zhou Family, even if someone managed to stir up trouble, they would quickly be subdued.
So, within a few short days, Zhou Shen tightened the situation in the city, although there must be some who were still not caught. But to the Zhou Family, they were already insignificant.
On the contrary, Zhou Shen himself, with the destiny of the city lord and his own bloodline ability to seek fortune and avoid evil, seemed to be on the verge of breaking through again.
This breakthrough wasn’t in his cultivation level, but in his perception. He vaguely sensed how the Immortal City should prepare next to cope with the pressure from the Immortal Dynasty.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for a message to arrive from the Capital City Soul Song, straight to the City Lord Mansion. After all, Longevity Immortal City’s branch was still connected to the Immortal Dynasty, how could they be completely separated?
If the connection was completely severed, it would probably not be as peaceful now, and the Immortal Dynasty’s army would have been at the city gates.
However, Zhou Shen didn’t take the pressure from the Immortal Dynasty too seriously. He went straight to Liang Sheng’s Mansion as his first response.
This was his vague perception of how to resolve these troubles.
Huang Yifan naturally welcomed Zhou Shen, who was now a city lord. However, in the presence of the Zi Zai independent cultivator, he still respectfully greeted him.
“Ancestor, I have received a message from Capital City Soul Song, and I don’t know how to respond. I beg for your guidance.”
The Zi Zai independent cultivator casually glanced at Zhou Shen and had to say that Zhou Shen now had the air of a gifted child, but there was no big ripple in his eyes.
There were countless prodigies in the world, and how many could catch his attention? Moreover, which prodigy could have the last laugh in the vicissitudes of the world?
All the Zi Zai independent cultivator cared about was his own disciple, but who could let Zhou Shen, who had promised to take good care of his disciple, play an important role in his plan?
So, he took the jade slip from Zhou Shen’s hand and saw that the content was ordinary. It only talked about the rules of the Immortal Dynasty for the Immortal City on the surface, but it concealed murderous intent and warning.
Zhou Shen’s actions had touched the cake of Lingxuzi and his group. If it weren’t for the Great Era of Contention, and the Heavenly Seal arranged by himself, the Capital City Soul Song would have taken action already.
No one dared to mess around during the Era of Great Contention, even when Zhen Yuan fell, the Capital City didn’t interfere too much with the internal affairs of the Immortal City.
This was the tacit understanding among the great powers of the Immortal Dynasty.
However, Longevity Immortal City had always belonged to Lingxuzi’s lineage, otherwise how could Su Wu become the Immortal City Lord in the past?
But now there was a youngster who took the peach, and how could they not be angry? They could only say that it was fortunate that there was a Zi Zai independent cultivator, which made Lingxuzi hesitate to take any action, and could only make a warning in words.
“These are nothing but clowns jumping around. If they really have the guts, why don’t they show up in person? Then I might have a higher opinion of them. But now, their behavior is nothing more than that of a spineless rat.”
After saying that, the jade slip was thrown back by the Zi Zai independent cultivator, who then lay down on his lounge chair and ignored Zhou Shen.
Although Zhou Shen didn’t get a clear reply, he didn’t ask any further questions. He stood by for a while,
When he found that the Zi Zai independent cultivator really didn’t want to talk to him, he bowed again and respectfully took his leave.
Then, escorted by Huang Yifan, Zhou Shen returned to the City Lord Mansion. He took out the jade slip again, looked at it thoroughly, and then exhaled a deep breath, feeling relaxed.
He knew that the old ancestor would not ignore him, for Elder Liang had already guaranteed and discovered the traces of the message in the jade slip.
It could only be said that the old ancestor had a cold face and a passionate heart. By now, the person from the Capital City must have received the old ancestor’s warning, and nothing would happen to the Immortal City for the time being.
With his ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, Zhou Shen felt completely untroubled and completely let go of his concerns. Now was the time for him to focus on improving his strength.
At least for many things, it’s better to rely on oneself to solve them. If he only thought that he had backing and lacked real strength, he would be nothing more than a paper tiger.
With this in mind, Zhou Shen entrusted all the affairs to Jin Quanxiu and Zhou Ning, and then began his closed-door cultivation again.
Since he could attain Nascent Soul within a year, why couldn’t he become a Divinity Transformation Spiritualist at 300 years old?
Zhou Shen had now fully established his self-confidence – he was a prodigy, not something ordinary cultivators could compare themselves to.
As Zhou Shen began closed-door cultivation, the destiny of Immortal City enveloped him, and it seemed to be in harmony with his own techniques, as if heaven and earth were helping him.
This situation naturally caught the attention of the Zi Zai independent cultivator. Could it be that Zhou Shen was really one of the children of destiny in this great era?
