Chapter 147.2: Plans, Prodigies of Canglan
Xu Tongchen left the grand hall with an expression full of grief, as if mourning a parent. In truth, he was ecstatic inside.
In the past few days, major events concerning the Bright Palace had erupted one after another. Violet Palace cultivators were falling like flies. In just a few days, nearly ten were dead already. That number exceeded the total deaths of the entire world over the past hundred years combined.
One could easily imagine how dark Huang Tu's expression had to be. The Blood-Clothed Sword God, who they once casually chatted about over tea, had suddenly become a monstrous, towering figure.
Even Zheng Fangxing's Violet Palace master had fallen. Xu Tongchen naturally felt proud. Of course, he had to pretend to be devastated.
Just a few days, and my True Sun Fire has grown by ten percent. Qi Yuan truly is my lucky star! Thinking of Qi Yuan, Xu Tongchen's joy surged even more. Two great joys in one day.
Suddenly, a voice transmission brushed against his ears. Xu Tongchen's gaze sharpened. Avoiding the dazed spies trailing behind him, he slipped into a narrow alley.
Xu Tongchen's eyes lit up with surprise. "Master? What are you doing here?"
Xu Yeli said slowly, "Why have you been running around so much lately?"
"I met a prodigy. He's strange." Xu Tongchen then explained everything that had happened between him and Qi Yuan.
Xu Yeli frowned deeply as he listened. "There's actually someone like that in this world? He must have encountered some kind of fortuitous chance."
A young man participating in the Eastern Lands' Prodigy Battle...
Usually, Xu Yeli wouldn't care too much. Especially now, when his own situation was precarious.
