Chapter 79: Visitor from the Flying Immortal Sect

The spiritual energy in this world was incredibly rich, almost vying to enter Li Shengdai’s body with just a bit of guidance.

The spiritual power Li Shengdai expended while performing Acupuncture on Wang Qingshan had fully recovered during their casual conversation in the courtyard, and it had even increased slightly.

Li Shengdai had yet to fully integrate the breathing technique into his normal respiration. However, whenever he had the time, he would concentrate on adjusting his breathing rhythm, gradually changing his breathing habits bit by bit.

Once this habit was established, whether eating, sleeping, running, or exercising, he would essentially be in a unique state of breathing cultivation, and his Qi cultivation level would inevitably soar.

Wang Qingshan did not actually strip Cheng Feixue of her clothes; seeing that Li Shengdai agreed to examine her, he eagerly pushed Cheng Feixue and her chair closer to Li Shengdai.

Eagerly waiting and watching, he hoped to witness the miraculous effects of Acupuncture once again.

Seizing the rare opportunity, Li Shengdai got straight to work.

Placing his right hand on Cheng Feixue’s left wrist, he first conducted a preliminary diagnosis using the traditional pulse-taking method. Then, he discreetly released his spiritual power, letting it travel through the major meridians within Cheng Feixue’s body.

Truly worthy of being a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse. After a few breaths, Li Shengdai withdrew his hand, smacking his lips twice before calmly stating, Her vitality is a hundred times that of an ordinary person; every organ is brimming with life. Even now, with severe injuries and significant blood loss, her pulse remains strong and vigorous, far surpassing that of an ordinary person!

Three meridians are abnormal, much more resilient than the rest in her body. Two acupoints, or what you refer to as life stars, show signs of overflowing Qi, indicating she has activated two life stars.

Her spleen is ruptured and continuing to bleed. If left untreated, her chest cavity will fill with blood again within an hour, endangering her life.

Her Divine Soul is severely damaged and she’s in a deep coma. If she cannot be awakened within three days, she might never wake up again. Of course, this is beyond the means of ordinary medical techniques. I’m not sure if a healing-type soul master could achieve it.

After giving a few serious assessments, Li Shengdai went back to eating and drinking, showing no intention of taking further action or paying any more attention to Cheng Feixue.

Just looking, not speaking.

He was firmly unwilling to intervene.

Wang Qingshan’s heart shattered. I’ve rolled up my sleeves, and this is all you give me? Where’s your sense of public duty?

Master, is that it?

Yes, that’s it. Li Shengdai nodded earnestly: I’m quite shocked. Soul Emperor-level powerhouses, from their muscles and bones to their vitality, their bodily functions indeed far surpass those of ordinary people. Even with severe injuries, their vitality is somewhat exorbitant. It’s clear that their ability to live much longer than ordinary people is not without reason.

No need to tell me all that! Wang Qingshan continued with a mournful face, Aren’t you going to take this opportunity to perform acupuncture on her? Now that you’ve finally come across a Royal-level powerhouse, you’ve only given her a cursory examination. Won’t you regret it if you don’t do anything more?

Who says I didn’t do anything?

Li Shengdai finished his drink and said lightly, Just now, while taking her pulse, I casually placed some restrictions on her body.

As you said, she is, after all, a Royal-level powerhouse, and she’s also seriously injured. This is a rare opportunity. If we don’t lay some groundwork now, in case she becomes an enemy in the future, won’t we regret it then?

Wang Qingshan wanted to curse. Are you sure we’re talking about the same opportunity?

Master, you’re so despicable.

Is that so? We’re not so different!

Wang Qingshan was helpless and could only sit back down and continue drinking.

As for Cheng Feixue, she wouldn’t die for a while anyway, so it was better to let her continue sitting there quietly.

At the thought of having to cast a Soul Skill every hour, Wang Qingshan felt like cursing. This was a pace that would tire him to death!

Uncle Long still hasn’t returned. It seems I won’t get to eat my braised wings today.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Shengdai sighed as the moon rose high in the sky. Even at this hour, he was still thinking about his braised spirit crane wings.

Wang Qingshan said, Don’t worry, Master. With Uncle Long taking action, he’s bound to catch both the person and the bird. A mere Zong Shoude won’t be able to stop Uncle Long.

Wang Qingshan had complete confidence in Uncle Long.

At Rank 9 of the Soul Emperor level, and with the addition of his own purple-ranked Rattlesnake Martial Soul, there were very few people in the entire Holy Capital City who could be his match.

The disappearance of a small spirit bird, he reckoned, would not be enough for the Great Qian’s Holy Emperor to dispatch a Soul Emperor. The same went for the Flying Immortal Sect. Even though Cheng Feixue had been severely injured as a result, they probably wouldn’t send out a Soul Emperor.

As long as it wasn’t a Soul Emperor bullying them, Uncle Long could handle any remaining riffraff.

Screech! Screeeech!! weaklings.

Screech! Screeeech!!

In the sky above the Holy Capital City, a gigantic bird covered the heavens and blotted out the moon.

The familiar cry of a crane startled both Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan, but they quickly realized that this was not the one ridden by Jun Ruyi. This spirit bird was even larger.

Another flying crane spirit bird! The people from the Flying Immortal Sect sure are quick!

Wang Qingshan looked up at the crane circling in the air, never landing, and there was not a trace of nervousness on his face.

Yes, that’s a big bird. Li Shengdai licked his lips and continued, Its wings are huge! And those claws are nice and plump!

Wang Qingshan was speechless. Was this normal for someone who had just seen a spirit bird?

Shouldn’t normal people marvel at it and express their wish to own one?

Why did Li Shengdai always want to roast and eat them?

Even if he had a grudge against Jun Ruyi and the Flying Immortal Sect, did he really have to take it out on a bird?

It seemed... his master held a grudge.

Damn! It seems to be flying over here. It’s not coming for us, is it?!

As soon as Li Shengdai finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. The big bird circling in the sky didn’t go to the Divine Minister’s Mansion. Instead, it flew straight toward their courtyard.

This was not good!

Wang Qingshan said, It must have sensed this woman’s aura. They’re here to look for her. I hope their tempers are mild, otherwise, we’ll be in real trouble.

As the flying crane approached, Wang Qingshan noticed that it was more than twice the size of Jun Ruyi’s Feiyu. In comparison, Jun Ruyi’s bird looked like a juvenile.

Judging from its aura, this flying crane has already stepped into the Royal level. I didn’t expect the Flying Immortal Sect to have a Soul Emperor-level spirit bird. No wonder they could arrive so quickly. The speed of a Royal-level spirit bird is ten times that of an ordinary Sect-level spirit bird. It seems that the Flying Immortal Sect attaches great importance to Jun Ruyi!

The fact that the Flying Immortal Sect had sent someone over even faster than the royal family after the attack on the Divine Minister’s Mansion spoke volumes. after the attack on the Divine Minister’s Mansion spoke volumes.

Chapter 80: Medical Fees

Name: Cheng Feibao

Merit Value: 838191

Sin Value: 5382712

Name: Qian He

Affiliation: Cheng Youde

Merit Value: 989861

Sin Value: 1762811

Li Shengdai was speechless when he appraised the Merit and Sin Values of the man and bird in the sky from afar.

Wang Qingshan really was a jinx. Their Sin Values far exceeded their Merit Values. Both the man and the bird that had come did not seem like good people!

Li Shengdai turned his head to look at the women beside him. One was called Cheng Feixue, and the other was called Cheng Feibao. Their names differed by only one character, so it seemed that these two were closely related.

Although it seemed like a slow process, Cheng Feibao and Qian He appeared in the courtyard where Li Shengdai and the others were in the blink of an eye.

The spirit crane’s massive body was like a mountain, directly covering Wang Qingshan’s entire residence beneath its chest and abdomen. Fortunately, it was now standing upright, and its two long legs, which were slender compared to its body, kept its body about twenty meters above the ground, giving those below some space to breathe.

Now, Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan were at the foot of the spirit crane, and its giant feet were much higher than the wine table. If the courtyard they were in wasn’t spacious enough, these two feet alone would have been enough to crush them both to death.

This was definitely intentional.

Wang Qingshan’s expression was terrible. When had he ever been so humiliated? Even a beast dared to step on his head. This was outrageous!

Li Shengdai, on the other hand, was used to this, as this wasn’t the first time.

People with birds tend to be this domineering.

They could carelessly release their birds, displaying a blatant arrogance without considering others’ feelings.

Who injured my sister?

While Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan were focused on the giant bird and its mysterious owner, a figure appeared beside Li Shengdai without making a sound, quite abruptly.

Without waiting for a reaction from the two, he directly picked up Cheng Feixue, who was half-lying in a chair.

Her complexion was pale, her breath weak, her abdomen still bleeding continuously. More critically, her Divine Soul had suffered a severe blow, her consciousness plunged into a deep sleep, and her injuries were truly grave, almost on the brink of life and death.

After assessing Cheng Feixue’s condition, Cheng Feibao’s expression darkened like stormy waters.

I’m asking you! Cheng Feibao’s tone was unfriendly, he snorted coldly, his gaze sharply sweeping over Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan as he demanded, Tell me, who is responsible for injuring my sister?

A young man at the fifth level of the Soul Sect and another utterly devoid of any Soul Power fluctuations.

Cheng Feibao immediately dismissed them as insignificant, believing it impossible for either to have injured Cheng Feixue.

Only then did Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan react, both turning their heads to look at Cheng Feibao.

A middle-aged man in a white robe, with a full beard, brows and eyes thick and heavy, a high nose and broad mouth, he looked quite fierce.

He was actually Cheng Feixue’s brother.

They looked nothing alike.

Li Shengdai remained silent, while Wang Qingshan lowered his head and replied, This senior was personally brought here by Lord Zong Shoude for treatment. We are not aware of the specifics. If the senior wishes to know, perhaps he could inquire with Lord Zong!

Wang Qingshan once again shifted the responsibility onto Zong Shoude, unwilling to take the blame himself.

Fortunately, since the person was not dead, it likely wouldn’t escalate to severe anger.

Are you a Healing Soul Master? Seeing Wang Qingshan nod, Cheng Feibao’s expression not only failed to soften, but grew increasingly violent, the aura on his body erupting with an intensity that almost made Li Shengdai and the other man unable to breathe.

Is Zong Shoude blind? Not only has he failed to protect my sister, he has now sent her to the home of a Soul Sect Healing Soul Master for treatment. Is he trying to get my sister killed?!

Rank suppression is an insurmountable chasm for any healing-type Soul Cultivator.

With Cheng Feixue’s injuries, especially ones as fatal as hers, Cheng Feibao found it incomprehensible that Zong Shoude would send her to Wang Qingshan.

How could a Soul Sect Healing Soul Master possibly save a severely injured Soul Emperor?

This was recklessness! This was tantamount to murder!

Unforgivable!

And you! Cheng Feibao’s gaze flickered across the food and drinks on the table, his ire escalating. My sister has suffered such serious injuries, and not only do you not think of ways to heal her, you even have the gall to drink merrily here. You all deserve to die!

Cheng Feibao kicked the table, sending food and wine flying, splattering Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan from head to toe.

Damn, what an unreasonable boor! Is he trying to start a medical dispute?!

Sensing the faint murderous aura emanating from Cheng Feibao, Li Shengdai’s face turned grim. He raised his hand, ready to slit his wrist in a desperate gamble.

This action scared Wang Qingshan half to death. He hastily stepped in front of Li Shengdai. Why did he resort to drawing blood at the slightest provocation? He could easily hurt himself by accident, brother?

Both of them were masters, neither of whom could be trifled with!

I am the Divine Minister’s Mansion’s Chief Healing Soul Master! Wang Qingshan directly brandished a token to prove his identity. In the entire Holy Capital City, other than the few exclusive Healing Soul Masters in the Divine Palace, I have the highest rank. It is only natural for Lord Zong Shoude to send people to me in this emergency.

Moreover, without my preliminary treatment, before you even arrived, the woman you’re holding would have died long ago!

While I am unable to fully cure her, I can at least prevent her condition from worsening!

I’m not trying to claim credit, I just want to let you know that without me, your sister would not have lived to see your arrival. I’ve bought enough time for her survival! not have survived until your arrival. I have bought enough time for your sister to stay alive!"

Furthermore, Wang Qingshan spoke as he brandished another badge, gleaming gold, not only am I the Divine Minister’s Mansion’s Chief Healing Soul Master, I am also a registered three-star Healing Soul Master with the Soul Healer Association. My reputation has always been quite reliable. If you do not trust me and wish to take action, I absolutely will not fight back!

Healing Soul Masters have never been isolated individuals.

Long ago, recognizing their own insufficient strength but facing constant threats and harassment from medical disputes, senior Healing Soul Masters devised a solution to deal with such disputes and personal threats.

They established an association, connecting the entire country, so that anyone who dared to disrespect or even harm a Healing Soul Master would be directly blacklisted.

Once blacklisted, all Healing Soul Masters within the association must unconditionally unite in resistance, and for ten years, they would refuse to treat any illnesses of this person or their immediate family members!

Cruel, arrogant, and domineering as it may seem, it was also incredibly effective.

Because of the existence of this Soul Healer Association regulation, the status of Healing Soul Masters skyrocketed within the Soul Cultivation Realm. No Soul Cultivator dared to act recklessly in front of a registered Healing Soul Master.

Brat, are you threatening me? Cheng Feibao’s eyes narrowed, their gaze growing even more violent.

Wang Qingshan calmly met his gaze, not a hint of fear in his eyes. I wouldn’t dare. I’m merely stating a fact. My rank may be low, but I did save your sister’s life!

Normally, you should express your gratitude to me.

And also pay the expenses for this treatment.

It’s not much, a hundred Soul Stones will suffice.

What is happening?

Li Shengdai watched from the side, utterly astounded.

Faced with a Soul Emperor’s furious threats, not only was Wang Qingshan unafraid, he even dared to demand payment for the treatment.

Awesome!

But are you sure you’re not courting death?ingshan not only remained fearless but even dared to ask for medical fees.

Amazing!

But are you sure you’re not courting death?

Chapter 81: Revenge

A hundred Soul Stones?! Are you sure?

The veins on Cheng Feibao’s forehead throbbed again as he glared at Wang Qingshan, the killing intent in his eyes undisguised.

Li Shengdai watched from the side, his heart pounding. His wrist subconsciously flashed into view once more.

Li Shengdai was not familiar with the cost of living in the Holy Capital City. He had even less knowledge of whether a Soul Sect Healing Soul Master’s consultation fee was truly a hundred Soul Stones.

However, judging from Cheng Feibao’s furious expression that could devour a person, Li Shengdai could tell that this fellow Wang Qingshan was most likely extorting him.

Li Shengdai understood the preciousness of Soul Stones.

A single Soul Stone was worth a thousand gold coins, and even then, they were hard to come by. Wang Qingshan had the audacity to demand a hundred Soul Stones, which translated to gold coins, was a full hundred thousand!

Although Li Shengdai was the esteemed son of the Martial King Mansion, he had never seen so much money in his entire life.

For merely using a common Soul Technique that most Healing Soul Masters knew—Morning Clouds, Evening Rain—Wang Qingshan dared to brazenly extort a hundred thousand gold coins from someone. This was nothing short of daylight robbery!

To so openly extort a Soul Emperor who was furious with rage, it had to be said that Wang Qingshan was marching further and further down the path of courting death. Perhaps one day, he would truly succeed in courting his own demise.

I am certain! Wang Qingshan did not back down, calmly stating, The treatment fee is one Soul Stone. The tables, chairs, wine, and food you just destroyed, as well as the clothes you soiled on our bodies, come to a total of ninety-nine Soul Stones. Not one more, not one less. A hundred Soul Stones in total.

Of course, if you feel that the latter ninety-nine Soul Stones are too much of a loss, you may choose not to pay. However, I will subsequently submit a detailed report to the Soul Healer Association to see if they can restore justice for me.

Fine! Cheng Feibao gritted his teeth. Consider yourself ruthless! I hope you don’t regret this in the future!

Cheng Feibao compromised very simply. He retrieved a bag of Soul Stones from his pocket and tossed it on the ground before directly leaping onto the Spirit Crane’s back with Cheng Feixue in his arms.

Then, the Spirit Crane let out a soft cry and flew directly into the sky.

He really gave them the Soul Stones?

Seeing that Cheng Feibao, who had behaved so overbearingly and aggressively the entire time, had actually obediently left behind the Soul Stones and fled in disgrace, Li Shengdai could hardly believe his eyes.

All bark and no bite, impressive on the outside but useless on the inside!

You’re a Soul Emperor, for crying out loud! Where’s your dignity? Where’s your pride? Where was all that murderous intent from before?

To be scared into this sorry state by a mere Soul Healer Association, what a coward!

Speaking of which, what does this Soul Healer Association do? That Cheng fellow seemed to be really afraid of it?

Watching as Cheng Feibao and his companion flew higher and higher, Li Shengdai couldn’t help but ask.

Master, are you truly a denizen of this world? How is it that you don’t even know about this? Wang Qingshan glanced at Li Shengdai with great surprise, his eyes filled with disdain.

I can understand if you don’t know about the Life Star Chart. That’s top-secret information known to very few people.

It’s also understandable if you don’t know that Martial Souls can rank up, because the cost of ranking up a Martial Soul is too great. Sometimes, even the wealth of an entire city is not enough to successfully rank up one level, so few people can afford it. As such, the ranking up method hasn’t spread widely and is limited to a few small circles at the very top.

However, this Soul Healer Association... throughout the entire Heavenly Soul Continent, almost every city with a sizable population has a branch of this association. Even though Heavenly Threshold City is remote, it can still be considered a mid-sized city. There’s no way it would be overlooked, so how is it possible that you haven’t heard of it?

Could it be that when you get sick or injured in Heavenly Threshold City, you don’t go to the Soul Healer Association to find a Healing Soul Master to treat you?

When one gets sick or injured, they naturally go to the Soul Healer Association to seek treatment from a Healing Soul Master. This is common sense.

Therefore, Wang Qingshan was genuinely curious as to why Li Shengdai didn’t even know about such basic common knowledge.

Is it that strange? Li Shengdai asked calmly. My Empress Dowager is a Healing Soul Master, so when I get injured, I naturally go to her for treatment. Later, when I left the royal palace to establish my own residence, whenever I fell ill, my servants would always invite a physician. No other Healing Soul Masters have ever visited.

In Li Shengdai’s fifteen years of memories, the majority of his time was spent painstakingly cultivating in order to achieve a breakthrough. He truly knew very little about the outside world.

Wang Qingshan nodded in realization, reaching a conclusion in his mind: Aside from having shallow knowledge, his master was also dirt poor!

The minimum fee for a Healing Soul Master was a hundred gold coins. The fact that his master’s residence had never invited a Healing Soul Master to visit was proof enough that he was so poor that he couldn’t even afford a hundred gold coins.

However, that didn’t make sense. With the miraculous medical skills Li Shengdai possessed, how could he possibly be short on money?

Strange.

The Soul Healer Association is the reliance of all Healing Soul Masters on the Heavenly Soul Continent. If one has difficulties, all will come to their aid. Very few people dare to ignore the existence of the association. That Cheng fellow...

Wang Qingshan paused, turning to look at Li Shengdai. Wait a minute, Master. How did you know that man’s surname was Cheng? If I remember correctly, he never revealed his identity, did he?

He didn’t? Li Shengdai began to play dumb. But I clearly heard him calling himself Cheng just now...

Wang Qingshan was confused. Did he? How come I don’t remember? Did he really? I have a very good memory, but I don’t remember at all!

He definitely did! Li Shengdai pointed to the sky. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself!

Hundreds of meters up in the sky, the Spirit Crane was still circling, not flying away directly.

Speaking of which, Qingshan, didn’t you tell him that that woman’s time is running out? Why isn’t he anxious at all? He’s still dilly-dallying here?

Wang Qingshan also looked up at the sky, puzzled. I did tell him, so I’m also very confused. What’s he trying to do? Get revenge? If he had the guts for that, he wouldn’t have chickened out and given you the Soul Stones just now.

Squawk! Squawk!!

As the two looked up at the sky, puzzled, the Spirit Crane suddenly let out a long cry. Then, with a push against the void with its legs, it flew directly towards higher altitudes.

Holy crap! What is that thing falling from under that huge bird’s butt? It’s a big black mass! It couldn’t be a hidden weapon, could it?

A clump of dark, unidentified matter suddenly fell from the sky, landing precisely in the courtyard where Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan were.

Without a second word, Li Shengdai bolted.

Seeing Wang Qingshan still gazing upwards, seemingly trying to figure out whether that dark clump was indeed a hidden weapon, he didn’t believe that Cheng would dare to take a shot at him. The consequences of rashly attacking a three-star Healing Soul Master were more than Cheng could handle.

You idiot, run! That’s not a hidden weapon, it’s bird poop!

Seeing that Wang Qingshan was about to be showered in feces, Li Shengdai couldn’t help but shout a warning as he ran.

Bird poop wouldn’t kill anyone, but it could disgust someone to death.

Especially the feces from that enormous Spirit Crane in the sky, one dump was as big as a room. If one didn’t dodge in advance, it could completely bury the person below.

Who could endure being enveloped in a giant clump of bird poop?

Wang Qingshan’s face changed dramatically, he could even faintly smell the stench drifting down from the sky. It really was bird poop!

That Cheng, I curse your ancestors!!

Swearing loudly, Wang Qingshan immediately took off running.

Master, wait for me!!

Chapter 82: A Slap in the Face

Cheng Feibao’s retaliation came swiftly and was extremely brutal.

Who would have thought that a mighty Soul Emperor would resort to such despicable tactics to disgust others?

Li Shengdai didn’t know how Wang Qingshan felt, but he himself was truly disgusted.

The mass, as big as a room and weighing roughly two tons, fell vertically from a height of three to four hundred meters, making a tremendous noise.

Master, wait for me!!

With a cry of alarm, Wang Qingshan, displaying the agility worthy of a fifth-level Soul Sect member, outran Li Shengdai with his stylish escape.

They had barely run a hundred meters when they heard a boom! behind them, and the ground under their feet trembled three times.

Dust and fluids splattered everywhere!

It was only then that Li Shengdai and Wang Qingshan stopped and turned around, their faces turning as black as ink in an instant.

Wang Qingshan’s entire residence, covering an area of about two acres, was completely filled with a pool of bird feces. All the buildings were smashed beyond recognition, with only the tip of the highest loft still visible.

More astonishing was that such a huge mass of bird feces fell and hit only Wang Qingshan’s residence, sparing the neighbors, who at most got some splashes, which were negligible.

This was undoubtedly calculated!

With such experience, it was certain that Cheng Feibao had not done this for the first time!

Releasing birds to defecate everywhere without any concern for public decency?!

Mourn for your loss. I’m afraid this place can no longer be inhabited; it’s too disgusting.

Seeing Wang Qingshan’s face looking as if he was mourning the dead, Li Shengdai patted his shoulder, further twisting the knife with his words: Think of it this way, losing a residence is better than being buried under it. But speaking of which, the real estate prices in Holy Capital City must not be low, right? How much did you spend on this place?

Wang Qingshan’s heart was bleeding.

Counting the house and the newly purchased furniture, exactly one hundred thousand gold coins!

Li Shengdai was stunned for a moment. One hundred thousand gold coins, one hundred Soul Stones?

Was this retribution?

Wang Qingshan had just swindled someone out of one hundred Soul Stones, and now he had to pay ten thousand gold coins in return. An equivalent exchange, it seemed!

This incident teaches us a clear lesson: swindling comes with risks, and one must proceed with caution. The lesson of the feces is right before our eyes and cannot be ignored!

Li Shengdai felt relieved and said, Luckily, we still have the one hundred Soul Stones, which means we neither lost nor gained anything. What a stroke of luck.

Wang Qingshan, with a mournful face, said in a gloomy tone, I hadn’t gotten around to picking up that bag of Soul Stones yet...

Well, Li Shengdai was at a loss for words.

This is a sad story.

It’s like dropping a brand-new iPhone into a latrine. Do you pick it up, pick it up, or pick it up?

One hundred Soul Stones are worth much more than a broken phone, but now they are buried in bird feces.

This is yet another sad story.

Although, with Wang Qingshan’s status, he didn’t need to personally dig through bird feces, but the principle of the matter!

Master, I suddenly have a craving for braised Spirit Crane wings. When Uncle Long comes back, I’ll eat the smaller one first to ease the resentment in my heart!

One day, I will personally eat Cheng’s big bird, to wash away today’s humiliation!

Wang Qingshan stood there, gritting his teeth and swearing.

Li Shengdai, listening by the side, had a strange expression on his face. Eating Cheng’s big bird, wasn’t this imagery a bit dirty?

A bit too much for the eyes!

Li Shengdai egged him on, Don’t you have that guild as a backer? Go and complain to them!

What’s there to complain about? That we were bullied by a Soul Emperor’s bird? Nearly buried in bird feces? Isn’t that just embarrassing?

Wang Qingshan was frustrated.

Talking about this would not only bring shame upon himself, but Cheng could easily claim it was an accident. Who can control when a bird needs to do its business?

They had to swallow this bitter pill silently.

Fortunately, the servants in the mansion had the sense to flee in advance. Otherwise, if they had been buried, even if not crushed to death, they would have died from the stench.

Tonight was destined to be a restless and noisy night. Many in Holy Capital City were bound to lose sleep.

First came various sounds, followed by bird feces descending from the sky. All sorts of incidents unfolded before people’s eyes.

Being neighbors with the Divine Minister’s Mansion and Wang Qingshan was undoubtedly very unfortunate because many were awakened from their sleep by the commotion. Especially those living near Wang Qingshan, some people who were heavy sleepers were not awakened by the earth-shaking noise but by the unbearable stench, leaving them with nowhere to seek justice.

Jun Wuque, accompanied by Jun Ruyi, had already emerged from the secret chamber. It wasn’t that Jun Wuque was sure there was no more danger outside but that imperial powerhouses had arrived.

Tao Wanli and Gao Shangqian, whom Jun Wuque recognized, were among the top ten patrons within the royal family, both at the ninth level of Soul Emperor. Especially Tao Wanli, who was rumored to be a half-step Soul Emperor, far surpassing the ordinary Soul Emperor Peak in skill.

I truly appreciate the effort of both patrons for taking the trouble to come here in the middle of the night for me. It’s really too much! Seeing the two inspecting the scene, Jun Wuque hurried over with a smile.

Tao Wanli, with a grim face, didn’t respond, while Gao Shangqian smiled and said, We dare not disobey the emperor’s orders. However, seeing that Minister Xiang is safe and sound reassures us.

Thanks to the emperor’s blessing, I am unharmed, Jun Wuque, looking at the devastated courtyard, voiced his concern: However, the guard leader of our mansion, Zong Shoude, and my daughter’s protector, Cheng Feixue, are missing. Their fate is unknown. I must ask for the help of both patrons!

Humph!

Tao Wanli snorted coldly, turning away without offering Jun Wuque any pleasant expression.

This... Gao Shangqian chuckled softly, saying, The emperor’s command was for us to ensure the safety of Minister Xiang and the mansion. As for the rest, I hope you understand.

Clearly, a warm approach was met with a cold shoulder; they were unwilling to help.

Jun Wuque stiffened, chuckled awkwardly, and bowed in apology, It was thoughtless of me to ask. How could I trouble both esteemed patrons with such matters? Please forgive me.

This wasn’t the first time. In the eyes of these lofty imperial patrons, Jun Wuque, the empire’s Divine Minister, was nothing significant. No one really took him seriously.

However, Minister Xiang does not need to worry too much. Gao Shangqian said, not wanting to make things too awkward, Before we arrived, Cheng Feibao of the Flying Immortal Sect had already rushed over on his Spirit Bird. Since he didn’t come directly to the Divine Minister’s Mansion, he must have discovered something.

Cheng Feibao is at the ninth level of Soul Emperor, and his Spirit Crane is also at the ninth level of Soul Emperor. With them searching outside, they will definitely subdue the assassins.

Jun Wuque’s face stiffened again.

Just now, it was his left cheek that was struck. Now, it was his right.

The Soul Emperor from the Flying Immortal Sect had arrived but did not immediately come to the Divine Minister’s Mansion to check on the well-being of Jun Wuque and Jun Ruyi. Did that mean he didn’t care about their lives at all?

In front of the two imperial patrons, Jun Wuque’s face was burning.

Jun Wuque clenched his fists, and blue veins were visible on his neck. Strength! Strength!! Strength!!!

In front of a true expert, strength is everything. He, Jun Wuque, the dignified Divine Minister of the empire, had been ignored once again!

In the eyes of these Soul Emperor Peak experts, any power or status was far less important than a peer of equal strength.

Screech! Screech screech!!

A crane’s cry echoed through the night sky, and Jun Wuque and the others looked up in unison. They saw Cheng Feibao flying into the sky from Wang Qingshan’s mansion on top of Qian He.

Qian He circled in the sky. Just when Jun Wuque thought it would fly towards the Divine Minister’s Mansion, he saw something fall from Qian He to the ground. Then, it let out a soft cry and flew away without looking back, without any intention of entering the Divine Minister’s Mansion.

Jun Wuque’s face turned ashen.

Sensing that something was wrong with her father’s mood, Jun Ruyi also began to complain about her Uncle-Master Feibao. He was here but couldn’t care less about the Divine Minister’s Mansion’s reputation?

Brother Tao, did you see that? Gao Shangqian looked at Cheng Feibao going away with a strange expression and said uncertainly, That dark thing that fell from the sky just now seemed like...

Bird feces!

Tao Wanli said with certainty, the corners of his mouth twitching.

This disgusting stuff again. How despicable! Gao Shangqian shook his head and sighed, I didn’t expect that after so many years, this Cheng Feibao is still as much of an asshole as ever! I wonder who’s going to be unlucky this time!

Chapter 83: Just a Bird Dropping

A breeze blew, and a familiar smell seemed to waft through the night sky again, but Tao Wanli didn’t miss it at all.

He only felt his stomach churn, and he wanted to vomit.

That surnamed Cheng, I’ll f*ck your ancestors!

Not far away came a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering roar, full of resentment, shaking the ground.

Tao Wanli’s heart was moved. He seemed to have cursed similar words back then.

But it was useless. So many years had passed, and he was already a half-step Emperor-level expert, yet he didn’t even dare to say a harsh word in front of that person’s ancestors, let alone f*ck them.

Young man, you will never know what a shameless scoundrel you are facing now, and the powerful background behind this scoundrel.

Pitying the same, Tao Wanli now began to sympathize with this young man who had a similar experience to him.

Thinking back to those years, it was truly unbearable to look back on.

Brother Tao, back then, were you also like this young man today... Gao Shangqian tried to stir up trouble and joked.

Shut up! Tao Wanli’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, If you mention this again, I’ll turn my face!

Gao Shangqian laughed awkwardly, Alright, alright, I won’t mention it, I won’t mention it.

Unexpectedly, more than 50 years had passed, and Tao Wanli was still so taboo about it. It seemed that Cheng Feibao had left a considerable psychological shadow on him back then.

Could it be that this good man was really buried in bird droppings by Cheng Feibao? back then was not small.

Back then, could it be that this guy was really buried in bird feces by Cheng Feibao?

The more Tao Wanli refused to talk about it, the more Gao Shangqian couldn’t help but want to explore it. He kept making up scenes in his mind, and his gaze towards Tao Wanli became increasingly strange.

Seeing that Tao Wanli’s expression was becoming increasingly ugly and that he was about to erupt, Gao Shangqian quickly changed the subject. I’m very curious now, who has such great abilities that they can force Cheng Feibao to not dare to use force and instead resort to such disgusting tactics.

Why don’t we go and take a look?

Tao Wanli was a little moved, but he did not forget the purpose of his visit here today and shook his head slightly, not agreeing.

From the sound of it, Jun Wuque interjected, it seems like the chief Healing Soul Master hired from my residence, Wang Qingshan. The two patrons should have heard of him, right? He has a manor in that direction.

So it’s a Healing Soul Master. No wonder!

So it’s Wang Qingshan. No wonder!

Tao Wanli and Gao Shangqian spoke at the same time, but the focus of their words was very different.

The emphasis of Tao Wanli’s words was on the identity of the Healing Soul Master, while the emphasis of Gao Shangqian’s words was on Wang Qingshan himself.

At the same time, Jun Wuque also heard from the two people’s words that Tao Wanli did not seem to know Wang Qingshan’s true identity.

Could it be that this Wang Qingshan has some extraordinary background? Tao Wanli was not stupid and quickly realized the meaning behind their words. He looked at Gao Shangqian and asked tentatively, In Brother Gao’s opinion, this Wang Qingshan seems to be even more impressive than the Soul Healer Association?

The Soul Healer Association had a special status on the Heavenly Soul Continent. It was one of the few organizations that even Soul Emperors and Soul Saints were unwilling to provoke easily.

Therefore, Tao Wanli found it strange. How could this Wang Qingshan be comparable to the Soul Healer Association?

I’ve only heard a little about it. Gao Shangqian pretended to keep his mouth shut, as if it was inconvenient for him to say it clearly. He only raised his finger and pointed to the sky, hinting vaguely, I heard that he came down from above to train. That Cheng Feibao, I’m afraid he’s kicked an iron plate this time!

Tao Wanli nodded in understanding, and he also had some guesses in his heart.

This is indeed good news. If Wang Qingshan could really take care of that old scoundrel Cheng Feibao, it would be a cause for universal celebration.

Alright, enough of that, let’s get to the point.

Tao Wanli shook his head, trying not to dwell on it, and then looked down at the traces of the fight on the ground, speaking to Gao Shangqian, Apart from the soul power fluctuations of Zong Shoude and Cheng Feixue, it seems there wasn’t a third person present. But those guards mentioned they had seen an assassin with their own eyes, which is rather strange.

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Gao Shangqian also straightened his face, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said solemnly, Indeed, it is very peculiar. To be able to erase all traces of one’s existence while fighting against two Soul Emperors suggests that this assassin’s cultivation is extraordinary. I know I couldn’t do such a thing.

As Gao Shangqian spoke, he couldn’t help but look up at Tao Wanli, who understood the implication and responded, Don’t look at me like that. Although I can manage somewhat, there would still be some remnants left behind, certainly not this clean, as if they had never existed.

So, we’re dealing with a master here, who, even if not yet a true Soul Emperor, isn’t far off. At the very least, he must have lit up more destiny stars than I have.

When everyone is at the level of a ninth-grade Soul Emperor, the number of destiny stars lit up directly relates to one’s strength.

Although Tao Wanli is on the verge of becoming a Soul Emperor, due to the limitations of the cultivation technique he practices, he has only lit up eight destiny stars so far, which is quite a gap compared to those Soul Emperor Peaks who have lit up over a dozen.

This is what I can’t understand, Gao Shangqian said puzzledly. "If he had the strength to spare, why didn’t he just kill Zong Shoude and Cheng Feixue? Judging by the traces left at the
