Cultivation Kill

Wuding Business Alliance Headquarters.

The tip of the sword belonging to the alliance leader, Tian Qiwen, was still dripping blood.

He had already killed five branch managers who came to report, but that still didn't appease him.

"Shen Zige, Shi Yuan, don't let me run into you two, or I'll risk getting the Star Realm Company to put you on the wanted list and I'll kill you!" He had already learned the identities of the two men from Manager Wu.

Manager Wu has already resigned and left, and Tian Qiwen did not try to retain him. After all, he is now heavily in debt, so how can he retain talent?

This time, Shen Zige and Shi Yuan swindled them out of more than two million spirit stones, which is equivalent to more than half of the Merchant Alliance's assets. A portion of that was a loan from the Star Realm Bank, which they had to repay!

But now that the cash flow is cut off, Wuding Business Alliance is about to go bankrupt. In Zhu Kingdom, bankruptcy doesn't mean death. Those sects that are pressing him for debts will definitely not let it go!

The spirit stones owed to the Star Realm Company, the royal family, and the major sects must be returned, or he won't even know how he died. As for the others, delay as long as possible.

Anyway, he was going to auction off all his assets. He had already decided to stop doing business and didn't care about his reputation. It didn't matter if he didn't return the money to the small sects and merchants. As a Core Formation cultivator, would these people dare to press him for it?

In his struggle with Shen Zige, he underestimated Shen Zige's wisdom and strength, and he lost!

The once-prosperous Wuding Merchant Alliance is about to disappear from the Bamboo Kingdom. Tian Qiwen sighed inwardly: "In the past, the hall was full of guests, but today, tears fall from the eaves. In a game of chess, one wrong move leads to the lonely end of a hero's life."

"Hero? What a coward!" At this moment, in a small village in Wu Kingdom, Shen Zige was sitting at the table talking with Shi Yuan. "A person who lets his son bully the weak and acts tyrannically does not deserve to be called a hero."

“Yes, I misspoke. Tian Qiwen is not a hero.” Shi Yuan raised his glass. “The two of us only defeated a coward!”

Shen Zige rented this tiled house for one spirit stone. You should know that many people in this world can only earn one spirit stone after working for half a year. The tiled house was originally a woodshed, and there are still some bundles of dry firewood in the corner, piled up crookedly, as if they are about to collapse at any time.

"I can't drink too much. I need to get back to Star Realm Company as soon as possible," Shen Zige said. "To learn the ancient script."

"What a coincidence, brother, I have this book in my storage bag." Shi Yuan said, taking out a copy of "An Explanation of Ancient Script" and tossing it to Shen Zige. "I told you before that I have some knowledge of ancient script and ancient history. Do you want a history book?"

"I don't need it for now. I'll buy it myself if I need it later." Shen Zige took the book. "How much is this book?"

"It's worthless. I've looked at it and I'll throw it away sooner or later, so I might as well give it to you," Shi Yuan said nonchalantly.

Shen Zige knew that Shi Yuan was lying. The book cover was brand new, obviously it had just been wiped clean, and there were various styles of maple leaf bookmarks inside.

After putting the book away, Shen Zige sat down to meditate on the makeshift mat that Shi Yuan had laid out on the ground.

Although her cultivation level could only improve slightly, Shen Zige felt that she was close to achieving true perfection.

"Good news! Good news!"

Dang——dang——

Before dawn, when everyone was still sound asleep, someone was banging a gong loudly, waking everyone in the village.

Shen Zige used her divine sense to investigate and found that it was a woman around fifty years old. Although the woman's hair was disheveled, her face was full of joy, and she was singing and dancing by herself.

"Big Pillar's Aunt, have you gone mad?" A neighbor opened her window. "What are you yelling about so early in the morning? Can't a person get some sleep?"

"Wansheng's mother, my son Shi Dazhu has been accepted by the Dayuan Sect!" Dazhu's mother's voice was as loud as the leather gong in her hand. "No one from our village has been able to enter the Dayuan Sect for a hundred years. The last person to enter the Dayuan Sect was our village chief ancestor. Dazhu has brought honor to our ancestors!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Sheng's dissatisfaction with Da Zhu's mother immediately vanished, and she laughed, "Oh my, I was wondering why I kept having such good dreams last night. It turns out that your Da Zhu joined the Da Yuan Sect, and good fortune shone into my dreams!"

"Everyone come out to celebrate! When my son Dazhu becomes a high-ranking official, everyone in the village will benefit!" Mother Muzhu continued, banging the gong and shouting.

This time, no one scolded her.

"Dayuan Sect?"

Shi Yuan opened the door and walked onto the muddy street.

"Yes, it's the Great Yuan Sect, they are the heavens of our Wu Kingdom!"

Dazhu's mother wasn't surprised to see a stranger and continued to boast, "The day before yesterday in Xizhou City, I personally witnessed the people from the Dayuan Sect taking Dazhu away. I then spent two days rushing back, only arriving late last night. I was too embarrassed to disturb the villagers, so we had to wait until this morning to celebrate!"

Shen Zige thought to herself that it would be at least half an hour before dawn, and then you would start banging the gong!

However, he wasn't sleeping while he was cultivating, so he didn't bother to argue.

"Why would the Great Yuan Sect take your Dazhu away?" Shi Yuan asked.

“Outsider, don’t you know?” Da Zhu’s mother replied, “These days are the Great Yuan Assembly, which takes place once every five years. It’s the day when the Great Yuan Sect opens its doors to recruit disciples. Young people from all around are rushing there. Why don’t you go and take a look? But you’re too old. You look over eighteen. It’ll be hard for the Great Yuan Sect to take notice of you.”

Shi Yuan kept telling himself not to argue with mortals, but he still couldn't help but say, "I'm old? I'm only twenty-three today!"

He thought that he was two years younger than Shen Ziming, and if Shen Ziming were here, she would probably be mocked by Dazhu's mother for being too old.

I was once hailed as the most outstanding business legend of this century! How dare you underestimate me? I'm just a big Yuan Dynasty figure. Let me see what's so great about me.

Shi Yuan plans to go to Xizhou to see the Great Yuan Society.

"Isn't twenty-three years old old?" Dazhu's mother snorted. "The immortal masters of the Dayuan Sect said that if you are over eighteen and still don't have the affinity for immortality, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything. My Dazhu is exactly eighteen this year."

"Shen Zige, shall we go together?" Shi Yuan asked.

"Go ahead and go, I don't have anything else to do right now anyway." Shen Zige originally planned to go back to the Star Realm Company to learn ancient scripture, but now that she has the books, there's no need to go back.

Bamboo Kingdom is currently issuing arrest warrants for him and Shi Yuan. Of course, Star Realm Corporation doesn't care about these things. If you have evidence, they might allow you to issue a warrant, but if you want Star Realm Corporation's help, forget about it!

There was once a demon who destroyed a small town, but he still secretly participated in the Immortal Cultivation Kill in the Star Realm's secret realm. However, that demon was unlucky and was the first to be killed, losing and having no chance to revive.

Shen Zige had nothing to pack, so she gently closed the door and left the tiled house.

“Dazhu’s mother, I think your suggestion from a while ago was good.” Wansheng’s mother, dressed neatly, walked out of the house. “My Luo Wansheng is also of marriageable age, and she and your Dazhu are childhood sweethearts. Neither of our families are concerned with formalities. I think we should discuss with the village fortune teller and find an auspicious day to hold their wedding.”

“Wansheng’s mother, this is not good. My Dazhu is still in the Dayuan Sect and probably won’t have time to come back.” Dazhu’s mother said, “This child went to the prefecture city, saw the world, and who knows, he might get engaged to some young lady in the prefecture city.”

Shen Zige didn't want to listen, but the two were talking so loudly that it naturally reached his ears.

"Oh, your Dazhu has become quite successful, so you don't want my daughter anymore?" Wan Sheng's mother said with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, who was it that rejected me the other day, saying that Dazhu was poor and not good enough for your daughter, and that your daughter was going to marry a young master from the county town?" Dazhu's mother said. "Why haven't I seen that young master from the county town lately? Did he play around and then run away, looking down on your Wansheng?"

"It was my Wansheng who dumped that rich guy from the county town. My Wansheng is so beautiful, she'll find a man better than your Dazhu sooner or later!"

Shen Zige and Shi Yuan had already headed towards Xizhou City, and the arguing between the two behind them was fading away...
