Creation of the Universe

Chu Tiankuo's face darkened and he angrily said, "Didn't you promise that as long as the marriage between our two families is successful tonight, you would let Floating Cloud City go? How dare you go back on your word!"

Zhu Tong replied nonchalantly, "All's fair in war. So what if I promised you before? Originally, after I disguised myself as you, I would lead the Chu family and others in the city to stage a good show to resist the Red Shirt Bandits. This would surely increase my prestige in the eyes of the people in the city, and they would wholeheartedly support me!"

Unfortunately, my plan has been disrupted. But it doesn't matter. Once my Red Shirt Bandits arrive, they'll tear you into pieces!"

Zhu Tong widened his eyes and said viciously.

Shen Zhan was not surprised by this result. He calmly said to Chu Qiu, "Old Chu, I'll leave those thousands of red-shirted bandits outside the city to you. Is that okay?"

Chu Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I haven't fought for three hundred years. I'm afraid my body must have decayed. But I have to solve my own problems myself. I'll be back soon."

Before he finished speaking, his figure floated away, quickly swept into the distance, and disappeared from people's sight in the blink of an eye. This scene vaguely gave people the appearance of an immortal.

Chu Tiankuo was stunned. It was the first time he had witnessed someone with such a high level of cultivation.

Chu Rumeng said with some concern, "There are thousands of red-shirted bandits outside the city, lurking covetously. Can he really go alone? Why don't we mobilize the entire city immediately? If everyone works together, I believe we can definitely stop those bandits!"

"Meng'er, what you said is correct, but we should trust the two seniors now. If they say it's okay, then it must be okay."

Chu Tiankuo told his daughter this. In fact, he had been at a loss for a long time. The only thing he could do now was to completely obey Shen Zhan's arrangements and do his best to not get in the way. This was his greatest contribution.

Shen Zhan and Zhu Tong were left standing face to face at the scene. The latter asked curiously, "Who are you and why are you trying to interfere with my plan?"

Shen Zhan's answer was understated, "It's just a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't know your background, you bastard."

"Suffer to death!"

Zhu Tong lost his patience and rushed straight towards Shen Zhan, while slowly stretching out his hands, intending to wrap around Shen Zhan like tree branches.

The sword light of Liuyun Sword flashed by.

Shen Zhan swung the Liuyun Sword, and several sword energies were released at the same time, cutting off the branches cleanly and neatly. Zhu Tong hurriedly withdrew his hand, not daring to attack Shen Zhan rashly again.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhan soared into the air again, and the sword tip turned into several sword beams. The sudden burst of Qingming sword intent instantly enveloped Zhu Tongzhou's body, leaving him no room to dodge.

A flurry of sword moves came towards him all at once. Zhu Tong fought and retreated, and was suppressed in a very embarrassing situation.

After this fight, Zhu Tong realized that he was no match for the young man in front of him. He was horrified and his confidence in fighting also dropped sharply.

His heart sank, and he gathered his strength and instantly pulled several pine trees planted in the yard and flew straight towards Shen Zhan.

While Shen Zhan was dodging, Zhu Tong had the opportunity to escape. He turned around and was about to climb over the wall, but suddenly a black shadow rushed towards him and stabbed him directly in the heart with the tip of the knife in his hand.

"you......"

Zhu Tong stared at the man resentfully and slowly fell down.

Shen Zhan looked carefully and found that it was the woman in black from before. He didn't expect that she had been hiding in the dark since just now, waiting for an opportunity to kill Zhu Tong with her own hands.

"elder sister!"

Chu Rumeng cried with joy and threw herself into her sister Chu Ruxuan's arms.

When Chu Tiankuo saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears. It was a great comfort that his two daughters were safe and sound.

"careful!"

Just as the two sisters were hugging each other, the dying Zhu Tong wanted to shoot an arrow, but unfortunately Shen Zhan's reaction was quick enough and killed him with a sword on the spot.

After a brief moment of joy, the Chu family father and daughter began to worry about the situation at the city gate. If those red-shirted bandits rushed in and killed people, it would be the end of Floating Cloud City.

Shen Zhan said calmly, "Don't worry. Although Old Chu looks bookish, he's never shy in a fight. Let's go over and take a look."

When the group arrived at the top of Fuyun City, they were shocked to find Chu Qiu standing alone outside the city, and opposite him were groups of red-shirted thieves wearing red clothes. In this situation, there was no chance of winning.

Chu Rumeng said anxiously: "My benefactor, please think of a solution quickly. We must at least take up arms to defend our homeland. We must not just sit there and wait to die."

"Yes, we are not afraid of fighting, and we are not afraid of death!"

Her elder sister Chu Ruxuan is also full of backbone and courage. From them, Shen Zhan sees the Chu family's character that has lasted for a hundred years, as well as hope for the future.

"Don't be in a hurry, look ahead."

After Shen Zhan's reminder, Chu Rumeng and Chu Ruxuan were surprised to find that those red-shirted thieves who came with such aggressive momentum actually turned around and ran desperately in the opposite direction of Floating Cloud City.

"Are they running away?"

This scene was unbelievable, but if they had noticed the corpses lying at Chu Qiu's feet in time, it would not be difficult to understand why the Red Shirt Bandits, despite being so numerous and powerful, still had to escape.

Not long after, all the red-shirted thieves ran away, and there was no trace of them at all. Chu Qiu also floated back to Shen Zhan. Seeing him in elegant clothes and without any trace of makeup, it was hard to imagine that he had just fought with thousands of people.

"How does it feel?"

Shen Zhan was asking about Chu Qiu's recovery, but the latter frowned and replied unexpectedly, "I don't know either. For a moment just now, I couldn't even feel my spirit pool. There must be something wrong."

"Perhaps it's just that three hundred years have passed and you've become a little slow."

"It's indeed possible."

Chu Qiu nodded thoughtfully.

"The unworthy descendant Chu Tiankuo pays homage to the ancestors of the Chu family!"

At this time, Chu Tiankuo knelt down with a thud, facing the position where Chu Qiu was standing, and kowtowed heavily.

Chu Ruxuan and Chu Rumeng were shocked by his appearance and were confused about what he meant.

"Ancestor of the Chu family? What on earth is going on?"

The two looked at Chu Qiu in unison.

Chu Qiu felt a little embarrassed, "Did you find out?"

Chu Tiankuo replied with emotion, "No matter how foolish I am, I should have seen it long ago. The senior once said that one must resolve one's own family affairs. And since this senior surnamed Shen calls you Old Chu, then you must be the ancestor of my Chu family!"

"Ancestors, I, your unworthy descendant Chu Tiankuo, have committed numerous crimes. Please punish me!"
