Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 144 Zhu Quezi Invites the Envoy of the Cultivation Alliance

The Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivator from the Soul Refining Sect knelt on the ground, bowed twice towards Lin Che's position, and said flatteringly, "Thank you... Senior."

Lin Che nodded slightly, then turned to look at Red Butterfly, "Little Red Butterfly, we should go."

Red Butterfly nodded obediently, summoned her Azure Dragon Five Spirits, sat on her head, and followed Lin Che as they sped off into the distance.

……

Zhuque Kingdom, inside Zhuque Mountain.

As the fourteenth generation Suzaku, Suzaku sat cross-legged with an indifferent expression. Then, as if sensing something, she slowly opened her eyes.

"This energy fluctuation is Duntian's Ten Billion Soul Banner... I never expected Duntian to use something like this. It's truly unbelievable."

Zhu Quezi stroked his pale goatee, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Feng'er, why don't you go to the Hengyue Sect to devour the Five Spirits of the Red Butterfly?"

As Zhu Quezi's voice fell, Qian Feng, Zhu Quezi's eldest disciple, stepped in and respectfully bowed to Zhu Quezi.

"Greetings, Master."

Seeing that Qian Feng was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Transformation realm, Zhu Quezi was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, if this guy hadn't broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul Transformation realm, she wouldn't have been able to devour his physical body in advance.

Otherwise, the lifespan gained would be too short.

Of course, if forced to, Zhu Quezi would not hesitate to devour his body, since her lifespan was already running out, and the consequences of not devouring him would be unimaginable.

Zhu Quezi looked at Qian Feng in front of her, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes. She seemed to hate this guy for being so useless. So many years have passed and he is still only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Qian Feng bowed and said, "Master, I once sent someone to Hengyue Sect, but I learned that the sect's patriarch Lin Che is holding his wedding. I... have no choice but to wait and see."

"A grand wedding?"

Zhu Quezi sneered inwardly: "A dignified cultivator at the Ascension stage actually likes to play the tricks of mortals. He's truly hopeless. Once I break through my strength, I will definitely make you ants annihilate this cultivation star."

"Feng'er, you wait here. You must break through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm a hundred years from now. Only in this way can you become the next Vermilion Bird Child. After all, there can only be one Vermilion Bird Child."

Zhu Quezi narrowed her eyes and slowly spoke.

Qian Feng had coveted the Vermilion Bird's identity for countless years, and if he could become the next Vermilion Bird, it would be absolutely beneficial for him.

By then, the old man in front of me won't be able to leave Vermilion Bird Star alive.

On the surface, Qianfeng appears to be quite loyal, but he is actually treacherous and cunning. He only pledges allegiance to Zhuquezi in order to obtain the identity of Zhuque.

But if I become Suzaku, then the fourteenth generation Suzaku before me will have no reason to exist in this world.

Qian Feng accepted the order and left. Soon after, he saw Liu Mei, also a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect, walking with alluring steps to the room where the Vermilion Bird Sect was in seclusion.

"Disciple Liu Mei greets Master." Zhu Quezi looked at Liu Mei and said softly, "Liu Mei, your cultivation level has been at the mid-Nascent Soul stage for many years now."

With a charming smile, Liu Mei swayed her waist, revealing crimson runes flowing on her wrist as her water sleeves fluttered: "Master has a good memory. I have been cultivating diligently for decades, but I am still stuck at the bottleneck of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Transformation. I hope Master can give me some guidance."

At this moment, Liu Mei's eyes were darting around, and her seemingly respectful gaze concealed a hidden calculation. Out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at the vermilion jade token hanging at Zhu Quezi's waist, which was a token passed down through generations of Zhu Quezi.

Zhu Quezi paused slightly in stroking his beard, his withered fingers caressing the edge of the jade pendant: "You and Feng'er are equally bad, you really disappoint your master."

Liu Mei lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

"I asked you to disrupt Lin Che's artistic conception and Dao heart, why haven't you made a move yet? Could it be that you... lack the ability?"

Liu Mei narrowed her eyes, but quickly regained her composure. She cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhu Quezi and said, "Master, Lin Che is a powerful cultivator at the Ascension stage. My clone was unable to destroy his Dao Heart. Instead, his cultivation was greatly damaged, and he went to cultivate in another third-level cultivation country."

Zhu Quezi suddenly sprang up, a purple light shooting towards Liu Mei's throat like lightning. "Useless! You can't even handle this small matter, what use are you!"

Liu Mei's expression changed drastically. In her haste, she summoned her natal magic weapon, the Crimson Phoenix Ring, but it shattered inch by inch the moment the purple light touched it. She staggered and flew backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"This disciple has failed Master's guidance and training, and begs Master's punishment."

Zhu Quezi looked at Liu Mei in front of him. If this girl wasn't still useful to him, he would have already killed her here.

Suppressing her anger, Zhu Quezi fixed her gaze on the candlestick not far away and said calmly, "This time, you should go in person. Although Lin Che has already reached the peak stage, as the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. With your looks, you are more than enough."

Liu Mei sighed inwardly. Although she didn't want to do this, there was no good way to deal with it now. If she refused, given Zhu Quezi's personality, he would definitely not let it go.

Seeing that Liu Mei agreed, Zhu Quezi's killing intent subsided, but she still glanced coldly at Liu Mei in front of her before turning around and disappearing from the spot.

Liu Mei clenched her slender hands, slightly raised her head, looked at Zhu Quezi who had already left, and then turned and left as well.

Liu Mei didn't know where Lin Che was, but given her level of understanding, finding Lin Che shouldn't be difficult.

……

After leaving Vermilion Bird Mountain, Zhu Quezi did not leave. Instead, he came to a special teleportation array and spared no expense to take out dozens of top-grade spirit stones and embed them all into the ancient teleportation array in front of him.

Then, Zhu Quezi bowed respectfully to the teleportation array in front of him, saying, "Junior Zhu Quezi welcomes the Alliance Envoy."

As Zhu Quezi's voice fell, a figure appeared out of thin air. The boundless energy flowed like a surging river, distorting the air wherever it passed.

The alliance envoy, shrouded in black robes, stood with one hand behind his back, looking at Zhu Quezi with displeasure. "This kind of teleportation array consumes an enormous amount of energy. It must not be activated casually unless it is for an important matter. Zhu Quezi, have you forgotten?"

Zhu Quezi's face turned ashen, and he immediately bowed and replied, "Reporting to the envoy, this invitation to you was also for the sake of the Zhu Que Kingdom. I hope that you will consider the loyalty of the Zhu Que Kingdom to the Cultivation Alliance and help the Zhu Que Kingdom this time."
