Transcending the Nine Heavens

Three days later, the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion opens! [Third update, seeking monthly votes!]

The forces of Anzhuzhu left Dingjun Mountain at the first opportunity. They didn’t even say goodbye to anyone.

“Little Wei, how did we fare this time?” Jun Xizhu asked lightly.

“It’s not bad. We made over three billion in total; throne experts recruited eleven, and sovereign level experts recruited forty-five,” Young Master Wei said with a faint smile. “A few imperial level experts appeared, but they were all from various families. This young master isn’t interested in dealing with them.”

Jun Xizhu nodded with a smile, “That’s already quite good. The gains this time exceeded my expectations.” After pondering for a moment, she changed the subject, “You went to see Chu King of Hell; if I guessed correctly, a significant part of this competition should be his doing, right?”

Young Master Wei frowned and said, “That’s right; I didn’t notice anything else, but Chu King of Hell has a sharp grasp of human nature! Moreover… he is someone who only believes in his own strength. The possibility of accepting outside help is quite low.”

Jun Xizhu exclaimed softly, lost in thought; after a long while, she said, “It’s worth watching. Everyone has weaknesses, and there are always times when they need help. Saying such things in advance is not as effective as doing them when the time comes. This good karma is something that cannot be avoided.”

Young Master Wei sighed, “But I can’t avoid this good karma; he is currently my creditor.”

“Creditor?” Jun Xizhu frowned, “You lost to him?”

Young Master Wei shrugged, “Before this competition, did you think Gao Sheng would lose to Ji Mo?”

Jun Xizhu smiled, “So that’s it.” After reflecting on the condition of Gao Sheng and Ji Mo when they first appeared, she sighed, “No, that wouldn’t happen.”

Young Master Wei sighed, “I thought so too, but I lost… and the most frustrating part is… that bastard Gao Sheng clearly had a powerful weapon, yet he was directly defeated by anger, not even using his killing move! That’s just infuriating!”

“You mean the mysterious martial arts of the Gao Family that Gao Sheng has mastered?” Jun Xizhu’s eyes sharpened.

“He hasn’t mastered it, but he’s capable of practicing it!” Young Master Wei said. “But even just getting started, dealing with Ji Mo would still be easy! However, this martial art requires the ice and snow heart realm to unleash its power. He stepped onto the stage already as furious as an exploded pig; how could he use it? It really drives me crazy!”

Thinking of how he originally planned to obtain those two pieces of jade at minimal cost, only to now have to pay such a high price, and all because Gao Sheng should have won but didn’t… Young Master Wei nearly spat blood. Going all the way to the extreme north, with Chu King of Hell's personality, it would be strange if he didn’t thoroughly exploit him…

Contemplating how his wealth was about to shrink significantly under such unjust circumstances, Young Master Wei wanted to tear Gao Sheng apart…

Jun Xizhu softly exclaimed and fell into thought, not revealing what was on her mind.

Young Master Wei observed her expression for a while and asked, “How’s your body lately?”

Jun Xizhu frowned tiredly and said, “I’m fine; I just hope this ninth level spirit beast doesn’t disappoint me.”

Young Master Wei revealed a thoughtful expression, “The ninth level spirit beast appearing in this extreme north… it might be suspicious. You need to be fully prepared.”

Jun Xizhu closed her eyes and said, “What event isn’t suspicious? We have been navigating through suspicions all along. At that time, you take care of Ah Lu. If I can’t achieve anything, you step in.”

Young Master Wei smiled warmly, “I’ll go to Ah Lu’s side.”

Jun Xizhu said nothing. Young Master Wei quietly disappeared…

Chu Yang was busy all night, crafting six masks; all were neither gold nor silver, but exquisitely made. Once worn, they didn’t feel suffocating at all and were comfortable.
