Creation of the Universe

In today's martial arts arena, the ninth-level genius Shen Yunli will win quickly!

No matter whether they were masters of body training, or leaders of the Taoist sect who were good at using fortune and luck, or geniuses of the sect who held seventh-grade spiritual weapons, none of them could become a general who could defeat Shen Yunli in ten rounds.

The audience was excited and exclaimed at Shen Yunli's wonderful performance. Coupled with her highly-anticipated status, she had undoubtedly become the most popular final winner of this martial arts alliance.

Chu Qiu nodded slightly at the sidelines and sighed softly, "This person is also an outstanding and extraordinary person. It seems that I don't need to worry about him anymore."

As he spoke, the lively paper crane slowly flew out from his arms, flapping its wings and landing on his shoulder.

"Is it finally here? It's just in time."

He gave the paper crane to Meng Zhong when they last parted. This little thing could help them know each other's location in time and be used to deliver key messages when necessary.

There are many specific uses and the usage is also very simple. For example, this time, Meng Zhong decided to go to Yingtian City in advance, so he released the paper crane and flew to Yingtian first, so that Chu Qiu could know their next action plan.

It happened that he was in Yingtian, and the paper crane was attracted by the spiritual power in him and flew back to him.

The unusual movement of the paper crane just now indicates that Meng Zhong and his team are not far from Yingtian. I believe they will be able to meet up with Shen Zhan and Chu Qiu tonight.

"Master!"

"The Sun Mansion has sent someone over!"

Chu Rumeng hurriedly knocked on the door and went in to tell Shen Zhan the good news.

Shen Zhan slowly stood up and said, "Then let's go."

It was five days later when Sun Jiang came to the Sun Mansion again. Sun Jiang, who had two fingers cut off, was so scared when he heard that Shen Zhan had arrived that his face turned pale and he quickly found a safe place to hide.

He had never been so afraid of someone since he was born. Shen Zhan was the nightmare that frightened him so much that he trembled even in his sleep. He was afraid that this symptom would not disappear in a year or two.

"Have you found your target?"

Sun Qingshan replied to Shen Zhan, "Over the past few days, I've spread all my clues, both overt and covert, searching every corner of the city. Finally, I found this person!"

He handed a portrait to Shen Zhan. The person in the portrait was the wandering cultivator they were looking for.

This was pretty much what Shen Zhan had expected. As the Martial Alliance was in full swing, this person had been lurking in Yingtian for some time. Since he wanted to get the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root, he would take advantage of the mixed crowd in the city and everyone's attention was on the Martial Alliance to spread the news.

"The black market says someone's spreading the word that they're selling a rare treasure for two hundred spirit crystals! Such an exorbitant price, besides the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root, what else could be worth that?"

With his many years of experience, Sun Qingshan concluded that this was the rumor that the independent cultivator had spread on his own initiative, in order to make those who coveted the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root become eager to bid against each other so that he could reap the benefits.

Chu Rumeng gasped, "Two hundred spirit crystals, he really dares to think so!"

Shen Zhan asked Sun Qingshan, "Where is this person hiding?"

"It's an ordinary farmer's house in the city. I guess they gave the couple some benefits, so they temporarily live in their small courtyard. No one disturbs them, and no one will notice them on weekdays."

"Very good, now you need to do something for me."

Sun Qingshan frowned and asked him, "Now that we've found the person, what else do we need to do?"

"Right now, various forces are pouring into Yingtian. Regardless of whether their original goal was the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Root or not, they are now eyeing this supreme treasure. I need you to spread the word and make the whereabouts of that rogue cultivator known to the public."

"What? This...isn't the city going to be in chaos?"

Shen Zhan glanced at Sun Qingshan, who was staring with wide eyes, and said, "I just want to mess it up."

That night, the news spread like wildfire.

Wang Tonghai and others immediately became restless. They had been watching for such a long time but still had no clues. But today they suddenly heard a rumor that the wandering cultivator had finally shown up.

"Old Qu, is this the place?"

A group of six people came out in full force and arrived at a secluded house in the northwest corner of the city.

This is a relatively deserted area in the city. Even during the day, there are not many people walking around. The fact that the wandering cultivator chose this place as his hiding place shows that he had conducted a careful investigation before entering Yingtian and had chosen a place to stay in advance.

Qu Chong answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is here."

Before he finished speaking, a figure in a black cloak climbed over the wall. After just a few jumps, he disappeared into the shadows in the distance.

Wang Tonghai and others were no ordinary people either. They immediately flashed out like lightning and chased after him. They were delighted during the pursuit. After being busy for many days, it was finally time to close the net.

The Wang family of Lingzhou has influence all over the world, but in today's Tiande Dynasty, it is difficult for the Wang family to really stand out. The highest official position they can hold is just the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the court.

On the contrary, women from the Wang family are often able to subtly influence the court by marrying into the palaces of royal families, officials, and nobles through the inner courtyard. This shows that there is a force in the court that is deliberately suppressing the Wang family, making it impossible for the men of the Wang family to act freely in officialdom and demonstrate their presence.

In order to break this shackle, they had to form an alliance to get rid of the current situation, and the Eternal Root was prepared as a gift to a big shot in the court.

Only a gift of this magnitude from the Wannian Changsheng Root could enable them to successfully achieve their goal.

In a moment, Wang Tonghai and others surrounded the black shadow from two directions. The black shadow was forced to change its escape route and hide in a dark alley.

Unfortunately, this turned out to be a dead end. When he was about to turn around and look for another way out, Wang Tonghai had already arrived on horseback with a smug smile on his face.

"Don't run away. Your every move is under our control now. Hand over the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root, and I can let you go."

Wang Tonghai put forward the conditions, but this was the only time he negotiated patiently.

The cloaked man said in a deep voice, "Two hundred spirit crystals, not a single one less!"

Qu Chong stood on the rooftop to the man's left and laughed heartily, "You're trapped in a jar, yet you still dare to quote us a price? Are you out of your mind?"

Another tall and slender man, rubbing his hands in anticipation, sneered, "Eighth brother, this guy who hasn't tasted hardship is just too stubborn. Let's stretch his muscles and he'll learn to behave himself later."

The person who spoke was Xie Qi, who had once hunted down Shen Zhan and was now among them.

Wang Tonghai spread his hands confidently, "You've seen it too. This time you have no escape, so stop daydreaming!"

Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly laughed wildly, looking up to the sky. "No escape? Well said, tonight this will be your burial place."
