Creation of the Universe

Chu Qiu is, after all, an ancestor of the Chu family. Now that he has come to the East China Sea, he has to support the Chu family and give Chu Tiankuo the confidence to challenge the Red Shirt Pirates.

Although Chu Tiankuo did not recognize Chu Qiu at this time, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in his heart. A subtle connection was established between the Chu family bloodlines. Even if Chu Qiu did not reveal his identity immediately, the bond was still strong.

Chu Tiankuo knelt down without hesitation. He was not kneeling to an ordinary person, but to a great and wise man. Therefore, he did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, it gave him a greater sense of security.

"Two seniors, what should we do next?"

Shen Zhan asked him, "How many Red Shirt Bandits are there? Where are they camped now?"

Chu Tiankuo replied, "The Red Shirt Bandits have been growing in power in recent years, now numbering at least several thousand. They use the Qichuan Ancient Road as their base and constantly harass surrounding towns. Since the Qichuan Ancient Road is the main route between East China Sea and many vassal states to the west, merchants traveling here are forced to either pay a toll or simply stay away from East China Sea.

This is a huge threat to the livelihood of the people of Donghai. Everyone's life is getting harder and harder. Some cultivators, seeing injustice, have gone to seek revenge on the Red Shirt Bandits. Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Wangxuan. To this day, no one has escaped from his clutches.

According to Chu Tiankuo, Li Wangxuan's cultivation level would probably not be lower than the Martial Sect Realm. If he didn't have the strength of the Martial Sect Realm to back him up, how could he continue to eliminate those cultivators who came to deal with him?

Among the eight realms, entering the Wuzong realm means entering another level completely, which is completely different from the previous realm, the Wuling realm.

Shen Zhan and Chu Qiu exchanged a glance, and then Chu Qiu spoke up, "Li Wangxuan must have stumbled upon some kind of opportunity. A mere bandit who only knows how to rob and kill people for money wouldn't be able to focus on cultivation.

Don't worry, we will take care of this person."

Chu Tiankuo expressed his gratitude, but at the same time, he reminded him, "Thank you very much, Senior. However, the Red Shirt Bandits have already deployed their troops outside Floating Cloud City. If my Chu family dares to act rashly, they will rush into the city and kill everyone. This has kept me awake at night, and I dare not disobey their orders."

Shen Zhan smiled coldly and said, "Bandits are just bandits after all. That's all they can do. If you follow my instructions later, I will naturally keep your Floating Cloud City safe."

"Yes, senior."

Not long after, the little man who was scared away by Shen Zhan came back, and this time he brought a large number of people with him, intending to settle the score with Shen Zhan.

"Call out that ignorant bastard from before, and see if he dares to continue his arrogance!"

Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and said, "That man was deliberately causing trouble here just now. He has now been captured by my Chu family and will be handed over to you for disposal."

"Huh? You guys caught me?"

The short man looked suspicious, thinking that all his men were no match for him just now, so how could your Chu family be able to deal with him?

However, Chu Tiankuo gave a call, and several guards of the Chu family brought out the tied-up Shen Zhan. He was indeed caught, and the arrogant look on his face was gone.

"Did you really catch me? No, you were so strong just now, how come you fell the moment I left?"

The little guy still couldn't quite believe it. Could it be that his fellow Red Shirt Thieves were no match for the Chu family's weakling security guards?

He walked up to Shen Zhan and questioned him, and the latter deliberately said, "Humph, I just drank some wine, and these despicable villains took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked me from behind. I was only caught because I was careless for a moment. If I had escaped, you would have suffered!"

"How dare you speak so harshly!"

The little guy swung his fist and hit Shen Zhan in the face. There was a "pa" sound, but the latter acted as if nothing happened, while the one who hit him was grimacing and howling in pain.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! What kind of magic did you use just now, you bastard? Why am I the one who gets hurt when I hit you?"

Shen Zhan smiled and replied, "Although I was caught due to my carelessness, how can you challenge my cultivation? Unless Li Wangxuan comes, what do I have to fear?"

"Good boy, you are looking for death!"

Chu Tiankuo stopped him and said, "Don't bother with him. I believe that if we take him back to Qichuan Ancient Road, he will naturally regret everything he has done. This is called not shedding tears until seeing the coffin.

We have more work to do and don't need to waste time on him."

The little man glared at Shen Zhan hatefully. Although he was still angry, he knew that the most important thing was to take the bride back, so as not to delay the time and get scolded.

So, the little man started beating drums and gongs outside the door again, and a festive atmosphere was created again. However, no one in the Chu family felt happy at all. Chu Tiankuo's face was gloomy, and he now placed his hopes on Shen Zhan.

The second young lady of the Chu family wore a phoenix crown and a shawl, and walked gracefully. Before leaving the house, she kowtowed three times to her father Chu Tiankuo.

"Dad, my daughter is gone."

Chu Tiankuo was moved and said, "My dear daughter, don't worry about anything. The Chu family's ancestors have been protecting us for generations."

Chu Qiu walked over to Shen Zhan, who warned him, "The mission of protecting the Chu family and the people of the city is now on you. This time, you're outnumbered, one against a thousand. Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, big brother. I will do my best to take care of my family. Moreover, there are so many people in the city. I will never allow bandits to run rampant here!"

The two of them were whispering to each other, and the smaller man over there, seeing this, began to urge them on in a stern voice.

"What are you talking about now? It's too late to regret now!"

Shen Zhan followed the wedding procession out of the Chu Mansion, and then left Fuyun City and headed towards the Qichuan Ancient Road where the Red Shirt Bandits were entrenched.

He really wanted to meet Li Wangxuan and see what kind of opportunity this man had gotten that allowed him to turn his life around and jump from a bandit leader to a local celebrity.

There was another thing that concerned him. What kind of person was the groom who married Miss Chu II, Li Feng, the son of Li Wangxuan? He refused to show up on the wedding day. Was he just trying to humiliate the Chu family?

Shen Zhan was lost in thought when he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from the foothills on the right. He was the only one present who had such keen insight. The red-shirted thieves around him were banging and knocking, and had not yet realized that someone was rapidly approaching the wedding procession.

"Whoosh!"

Two stones knocked down the two people standing in front of the bridal sedan chair, and then a dark shadow rushed towards them...
