Chapter 1562 - 1457: You Finally Arrived
"This fool, honestly."
Thinking about it, Lei Xiuzhu couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile.
Though she’s a Huashan Sect member, due to Sect Leader Lei’s lenient approach, she has been exploring the outside world since a young age.
Having traveled across the continent for so long, she has encountered numerous bizarre events, yet Qin Hao is a type of oddball she’s meeting for the first time.
Silly as he is, he’s also ugly, and not just ugly, but outrageously so.
Sometimes Lei Xiuzhu wonders how such a fool entered the Cultivation Realm, and even if he did, how he managed to survive till now.
"Oh well, what does this fool’s life or death have to do with me? After all, I’m just messing around as an auntie."
As Lei Xiuzhu was lost in her thoughts, she sensed a fierce wind blowing from behind.
Having ventured through so many places, Lei Xiuzhu has developed a very keen sense.
The fierce wind behind her made her tense instantly.
She was certain that this wind carried a breath that could bring her life-threatening danger.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so alarmed.
Instinctively, she was about to turn her head to glance.
But the wind howled even stronger, arriving at her ears within a breath.
"What the—!"
Lightning suddenly erupted from Lei Xiuzhu’s body, starting to fly chaotically beyond control.
In the next moment.
In her line of sight, a monstrous tornado brushed past not far away, swiftly departing towards the horizon, vanishing from the world within a breath’s time.
Silence, a long silence.
While running, due to the silence and the shock, Lei Xiuzhu stopped, her gaze somewhat vacant.
After a while, she snapped out of it, murmuring, "Earlier... was there a person inside that tornado?!"
Once these words were out, Lei Xiuzhu startled herself.
A tornado, an incredible force birthed by heaven and earth, even an Immortal wouldn’t dare resist it with brute force.
And how could a person hide within it?
Could it be...
A thought emerged, shaking Lei Xiuzhu’s heart to the core, making her shake her head and say, "Impossible! Impossible! How could someone move so fast? Those Elder-level figures can each reach extreme speed, but they can’t stir up a tornado, can they?"
With unresolved thoughts, Lei Xiuzhu remained stationary for a long time.
...
Kang City was a massive and prosperous city.
In the city with towering walls, wide streets, and imposing mansions on both sides.
From an aerial view, the entire city’s atmosphere resembles the national painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival."
Previously, the city’s bustling level was even more exaggerated.
However, recently, ever since various sinister and strange incidents have occurred, there have been notably fewer pedestrians on the streets.
In many wealthy households, unless necessary, the gates remain tightly closed.
Such a situation is mainly due to the recent supernatural incidents being too terrifying.
In the last seven days, the total number of bizarre deaths in the entire city suddenly reached a hundred!
The deaths of these hundred people vary in manner.
Some had their limbs broken, others had eyes gouged out, and some even had their faces turned into pieces of meat!
The grotesque scenes are truly horrifying!
Because such incidents have happened so frequently, Kang City’s City Lord had no choice but to impose a curfew. Moreover, he personally went to the legendary Immortal Sect to request an Immortal to emerge and eliminate demons.
Unfortunately, half a month has already passed since the City Lord’s request.
The residents are eagerly awaiting the Immortal Master’s arrival, but it has yet to happen.
...
At dusk.
Outside Kang City’s gate.
The ramifications of the brutal supernatural murders have become overwhelmingly evident.
To prevent residents from fleeing and unidentified outsiders from entering the city, Kang City’s gates have been tightly shut.
When Ma Ji and the others arrived outside the city, they saw Lei Xiuzhu standing below a massive stone lion from afar.
The three immediately walked up.
"Senior Sister Lei!"
Huang Cuicui spoke first, observing the surrounds, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
"An hour ago." Lei Xiuzhu replied somewhat absent-mindedly.
"That fast?" Huang Cuicui and the others were surprised.
An hour ago, she had already reached the destination, which means Lei Xiuzhu completed the process before dusk?
"Fast? You call this fast?" Lei Xiuzhu’s emotions became slightly agitated, her face showing deep sorrow.
Huang Cuicui and the others understood what was on her mind.
Ma Ji said quietly, "Senior Sister Lei, that tornado was so strange, I suspect it might be the work of nearby Immortal Sect Elders."
"Exactly! If not Elders, how could one possess such speed and power?" Huang Cuicui also exclaimed.
Lei Xiuzhu gave a faint smile.
It’s not like she hadn’t considered their reasoning.
However, even if she had, she still felt upset inside.
Especially since she was leisurely advancing, quite confident in her speed.
Only for a gust of fierce wind to pass by...and remarkably, it was human-induced.
This truly was quite discouraging!
Thus, unable to handle the inner turmoil, she remained despondent to this moment.
"Senior Sister Lei, that person’s power, I think, isn’t all that." Luo Yong started flattering, "Generally, Elders possess spiritual artefacts for mobility. Even if they can’t fly, speed boost is essential. That person relies on his realm and spiritual artefact for that speed; if Senior Sister reaches Qi Condensation Realm, I’m sure your speed would far exceed his!"
Upon hearing Luo Yong’s words, Lei Xiuzhu felt a bit better.
Suppressing her displeasure, she smiled and said, "You’re right. I was being petty."
Seeing his Senior Sister cheered up, Luo Yong felt very pleased, quickly seizing the momentum, "Senior Sister Lei, that fool hasn’t arrived yet, are we just going to wait for him like this?"
Bringing up Chu Xi made Lei Xiuzhu’s mood lift quite a bit.
She chuckled, "That fool should be on his way, we should wait a little longer. I’m still waiting for him to call me ’Auntie’."
"Haha! That fool calling Senior Sister ’Grandma,’ and me ’Uncle!’ I’m not losing out either!" Ma Yong laughed smugly.
"But Senior Sister, you don’t mind if I became his Auntie too, right?" Huang Cuicui teased.
Lei Xiuzhu smiled and shook her head, "Of course I don’t mind! I just wonder if that fool’s parents would die of anger if they found out their son gained so many elders?"
After those words, everyone burst into laughter.
Even Ma Ji, joined in the amused laughter.
In the midst of laughter, an abrupt voice sounded, "Are you discussing me?"
"Who’s there!"
Huang Cuicui instinctively turned around.
There was no one on the official road.
"Wasn’t that fool’s voice just now?" Luo Yong was unsure, "Where is he then?"
Only Lei Xiuzhu realized the quickest, instinctively looking upwards.
Her gaze landed on top of the massive stone lion, her pupils suddenly shrinking, showing shock.
"Senior Sister Lei?"
Bewildered, the other three followed her gaze and looked upwards.
Then, the three simultaneously froze, as if turned to stone.
On the stone lion, a man known as Chu Xi stretched lazily, his long neck reaching out, his fuzzy face aimed at the group, mumbling, "I’ve been waiting for a while now, you guys finally arrived..."
