Creation of the Universe

Upon hearing this, Chu Qiu and Zhao Tiange showed their weapons.

The murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.

No matter what, Shen Zhan must not be allowed to exchange his eyes for the Thousand-Year Immortality Root. Otherwise, they, his right-hand men in times of life and death, would be seriously derelict in their duty!

How could Shen Zhan be allowed to make such a sacrifice!

Absolutely not!

After hearing what Shen Zhan said, Zhu Xiuyuan laughed uncontrollably, "You still have that face that I hate!

You're saying you'll risk your life for your brothers, but that's just a way to win their hearts. Didn't you just send them to the ancient ruins to fend for themselves? "

Faced with this question, Shen Zhan was speechless. This was probably the first time that Zhu Xiuyuan accused him, and he had no desire to fight back.

This decision made in the previous life has now proven to be wrong. They did not gain anything, and Meng Zhong and others suffered misfortune. Now Hu Meng has not been rescued yet, and Ling Xiao's whereabouts are unknown.

"The ancient ruins are of great importance. This is not just a personal matter, but also involves the entire world. Don't you want to know what secrets are hidden in the ancient ruins?

No one knows what is recorded in the long history left behind by the Tianxuan Continent. Will it contain any revelations about the way of heaven and humanity?

Exploring ancient ruins is undoubtedly dangerous, but someone has to do it. We all willingly undertook this mission. How could you possibly understand our eldest brother's good intentions?

Shen Zhan was feeling ashamed, but Chu Qiu's brief words relieved a lot of his guilt.

Zhu Xiuyuan scoffed at this and said disdainfully, "Shen Zhan, in short, I will not hand over the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root to you. Forget it. I will leave it to my future disciple. Only he can inherit my mantle and complete my unfinished work."

"Disciple?"

Shen Zhan pressed on, "Who do you plan to accept as your disciple?"

"What does this have to do with you? Are you planning to take me as your master in order to obtain the Thousand-Year Immortality Root?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Along with Zhu Xiuyuan's laughter, Meng Zhong suddenly shouted, and this time he successfully broke free from the restraints on him.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at him and cursed, "Damn you Meng Zhong! Your endless brute force reminds me of the days when I fought against your Guiyi Army. I should have hacked you into pieces back then, to prevent you from following Shen Zhan wholeheartedly and opposing me in the future!"

Meng Zhong said with high fighting spirit: "It is because I haven't recovered to my peak state yet, otherwise, how could you tie me up with this broken rope?"

With Meng Zhong out of trouble, the situation on the scene was obviously more favorable to Shen Zhan's side. Even if Zhu Xiuyuan refused to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root, they were fully capable of snatching it away directly.

It’s just that Shen Zhan has not made this decision yet, and Chu Qiu and the others will not act on their own.

"Everyone, don't move!"

Shen Zhan said, "I remember you always said that to become your disciple, one must possess absolute talent, be a rare talent, and stand out among thousands of people!"

"That's natural."

"Have you found such a person?"

“I believe I won’t be disappointed this time.”

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't want to say more to Shen Zhan. Given his temper, even if Shen Zhan ordered an attack on him, he would definitely destroy the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root as soon as he was defeated.

Even if he can't get it, he will never let Shen Zhan get it. Zhu Xiuyuan has always been like this.

After some thought, Shen Zhan said frankly, "Although you and I can't be considered friends, we are in similar situations today and have common enemies. I am still very happy to meet you. At the same time, I will not do anything to bully the weak with my numbers."

After saying that, Shen Zhan bowed to Zhu Xiuyuan and said goodbye, then turned and left with Meng Zhong and the other three.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the backs of several people from afar, his eyes deep and hesitant, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Brother, we're not really going to let this go, are we?" Meng Zhong was unwilling to give in. "Even though Zhu Xiuyuan is quite capable, we still have a chance to seize the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root from him. Why would we give it up in vain?"

Chu Qiu said: "Zhu Xiuyuan is a proud and arrogant person. When the seven great princes were in power, he was always dissatisfied and believed that he should be the leader of the princes, and always contradicted his eldest brother.

Such a person cannot accept having his Ten Thousand Years of Immortality Root taken away by Big Brother. If he becomes desperate, it will be difficult for us to deal with him. Moreover, his cultivation is intact, so if we resort to violence, the cost will inevitably be high."

Chu Qiu was always calm and composed, and he explained Shen Zhan's thoughts clearly in just a few words.

Shen Zhan shook his head and said, "Zhu Xiuyuan is a stubborn person with a bad temper, so he will not respond to force. Forcing him will probably not be worth the effort. It's better for us to wait for a while."

"Brother, what are we waiting for?"

Zhao Tiange asked curiously.

"Wait for the old fellow to offer the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root to you."

Shen Zhan spoke very confidently, but Meng Zhong and the others were a little confused. Considering the relationship between these two sworn enemies, why was Zhu Xiuyuan willing to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root?

Besides, if he was willing to give it, he would have taken it out just now, right?

Shen Zhan knew that everyone was confused, so he reminded them, "Of course, the person he wants to offer his services to won't be me. You heard him say he wants to find a disciple to inherit his legacy."

Chu Qiu was the first to understand, "Just as Zhu Xiuyuan said just now, he came to Yingtian City not to find a good buyer to sell the Ten Thousand Year Longevity Root, but to leave it for his future disciples. So he came here to scout for disciples?

No, he should have made his choice long ago, but he just hasn't officially contacted the other party yet. If that person is really our sister Yunli, then this matter will become very interesting!"

Meng Zhong and Zhao Tiange were both surprised.

"What? That old man has taken a fancy to our sister Yunli?"

Meng Zhong found it a little hard to accept, but then he thought that if this was the case, things would actually become easier.

Shen Zhan said confidently, "Zhu Xiuyuan came here for this martial arts meeting, because it is a grand gathering that brings together many young talents from various vassal states. Who is the true genius and who is just an embroidered pillow with a false reputation will be exposed on the martial arts stage.

Ever since Yunli obtained the ninth-level Dao rules a few months ago, she has undoubtedly been the most popular newcomer. I think Zhu Xiuyuan is also quietly paying attention to Yunli's performance to determine whether she is his most suitable successor.

Once Zhu Xiuyuan confirms this fact, I think he will take the Ten Thousand Years Immortality Root to find Yun Li and reveal his true intentions."

"Giving the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Root to Sister Yunli is the same as giving it to Big Brother, isn't it?"

Chu Qiu added with a smile.
