Chapter 142: Chapter 140: How Could Something Like That Exist!?

Inside a guest room at the Wandering Immortal Inn.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Netherqueen, who had transformed back into her Origin Form, closed her eyes and gently lifted one front paw, sensing something.

After a while, she retracted her paw, and her beautiful and unusual red eyes opened, showing a hint of confusion.

“What does that old hag want to do? She actually restricted my means of sending messages to Xiao Guai and the others…”

The little pink fox leaped lightly from the table and landed on the bed, her two tails swaying back and forth.

Originally, she had thought that since she had already checked into the Wandering Immortal Inn, the messages she had sent to her subordinates before would not be accurate, so she needed to update the information so that they wouldn’t go to Luo Wusheng’s mansion to look for her.

But she never expected that there would be a spell left by Yue Xuanji in this inn, preventing her from transmitting messages to the outside world.

Truly, her ’good friend’ is always able to thwart her in such unexpected places.

Fortunately, this wasn’t too big of a problem.

As for why Yue Xuanji did this… Heh, that old hag has a history of doing a lot of mischievous things to her, so this is most likely one of those things.

’Hmm, from the look of it, Xiao Guai and the others should arrive in about three days…’

“As long as nothing unexpected happens, in 4 days, that Young Master should be able to bring them to me.”

“I can only consume the Demon Emperor Pill when my third tail appears, but it would take some time to conjure my third tail, If I want to speed up the progress…”

The Nine-Tailed Fox Netherqueen muttered to herself, her eyes shimmering slightly. After a while, she sighed softly and looked out of the window.

“Before going back to the Netherland, I need to give that Young Master a gift…”

…

When Luo Wusheng finished arranging things with the original staff of the inn, he finally returned to his mansion in the completely darkened night.

To his surprise, the atmosphere in the mansion seemed somewhat heavy tonight.

Then he saw Gao Shi, who looked bruised and swollen, and Long Dahai, who was consoling him in a low voice.

“What’s going on?”

Luo Wusheng approached the two of them, covering the mansion with his spiritual awareness to assess the situation, and casually asked.

However, when Gao Shi saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have finally found an outlet for his grievances: “Bo-Boss Luo, I-I”

He just started speaking, but his words became incoherent, and he swallowed them back with a look of sorrow.

On the other hand, Long Dahai, who couldn’t bear to see this new member of their good brothers’ team, who had just joined, in such a miserable state, spoke up.

“Cough, Brother Luo, you’ve finally returned…”

Long Dahai made an opening statement and, after thinking carefully about what to say next, continued, “The situation inside is indeed somewhat complicated now, I’ll try to keep it brief.”

“Just around dusk, that… um, the Sword Sect disciple who has a good relationship with Brother Luo suddenly remembered a task from her sect and was preparing to leave tomorrow.”

“However, before leaving, as fellow participants in the Human Immortal List competition, she wanted to have a sparring match with Brother Luo’s Junior Sister…”

As he said this, Long Dahai couldn’t help but let out a sigh. He only realized today that the girl who seemed to have a close relationship with this Demon Sect Holy Saint in front of him was not an ordinary disciple of the Demon Sect. She was actually the number one genius sword cultivator of the current Sword Sect generation.

It’s just a pity that her appearance is indeed quite ordinary, and her figure is not that great either, compared to the Demon Sect Holy Maiden, she falls short by quite a bit.

As Luo Wusheng listened to the explanation, he coincidentally sensed fluctuations in the spiritual energy within the mansion, indicating that Little Yuli and his Junior Sister were indeed sparring.

He didn’t rush in to check the situation. Instead, he looked puzzled and pointed at Gao Shi, who had been beaten into a sorry state.

“So, what happened to him?”

“Well… Gao Shi happened to be present at the time, and coincidentally, he is also a participant in the Human Immortal List, representing the Heavenly Divination Tower…”

When Long Dahai said this, it became very apparent what had occurred next.

Luo Wusheng looked at Gao Shi with a gaze that carried a hint of pity. How could someone be so unwise as to challenge the protagonist? And to interfere just before the showdown between the two major character, wasn’t this nothing but suicidal?

Perhaps due to the significant blow he had received, Gao Shi’s senses were quite sharp at this moment. He vividly sensed Luo Wusheng’s pitying expression and a bit of schadenfreude in it.

This made him feel even more aggrieved. Initially, he just wanted to give it a try and didn’t think he, a divination expert whose entire skill set revolved around deducing the heavenly mechanism, had any chance of winning against the Demon Sect Holy Maiden. It wasn’t realistic. But who could have imagined that the gap between him and the Demon Sect Holy Maiden would be so vast? Even without using their Artifacts, he was at a disadvantage throughout the entire confrontation. Moreover, the Holy Maiden seemed to be holding back, not going all out. She fought against him as if it was just a walk in the park.

What was even more troublesome was that both he and the Demon Sect Holy Maiden were in the Peak Foundation Establishment realm. Although he was beaten down like crazy at the start of the spar, he still had some belief that he could win in a battle of attrition.

As a result, after a long struggle, with his injuries becoming even more severe, in the end, he had to admit defeat.

Fortunately, these were just superficial injuries. They looked severe but were actually not all that bad.

So, he took a brief moment to recover, then challenged the little girl who followed the Holy Saint all day. He knew he wasn’t a match for the Holy Maiden, so he planned to regain back some of his face by beating her.

But who would have thought that the girl was also no pushover!

Was that girl still in the Foundation Establishment stage?

With a casual wave of her hand, dozens of sword auras were unleashed upon him, each one more sharp than the last, the amount of the sword aura that she conjured is insane! It’s as if it costs no spiritual energy to make.

Fortunately, they were both geniuses, and his realm is slightly higher than her, so he can sort of hold his ground against her.

And then she broke through.

She actually broke through in the middle of their fight!

How could something as insane as that exist!?

In the end, because Lu Yuliu had just broken through, she couldn’t control her strength well, making Gao Shi receive several severe injuries.

Beside them, after learning about the whole story from Long Dahai, Luo Wusheng almost couldn’t restrain the smile on his face.

’This is karma for your previous antics!’

Thinking like this in his heart, Luo Wusheng shook his head with a face full of pity and sorrow. He placed his hand on the unfortunate kid’s head and sighed, “After you go back, rest and recover properly. Remember not to casually get involved in such matters again.”

Feeling his current boss’s spiritual energy healing his injuries, Gao Shi, grateful but also filled with remorse, nodded solemnly.

The outside world was just too dangerous. Right now, he just wanted to go back to the Red Blossom Pavilion!
