Chapter 860: Chapter 351: To Be Drained Dry

Chu Xisheng anticipated that soon, Zhou Liangchen would be able to stand alone.

Once Zhou Liangchen’s cultivation broke through to the Fifth Grade, along with the Little Xuanwu basking in the sun in the backyard, his combat power would be able to compete with most Fourth Grade individuals.

“The master has nurtured me with all his might, how dare I slack off?” Zhou Liangchen said with a smile, yet a trace of concealed concern flashed across his brow.

Chu Xisheng keenly detected it, pondered for a moment and immediately knew the reason; he then smiled slightly: “Worried about Extreme East Ice City and your Zhou Family? Rest assured, your parents are shrewd and capable individuals; they’ve weathered storms in their lives, surely they’re not foolish enough to resist Extreme East Ice City?

I’ve sent a token to the Iron Banner Gang, coordinating for several forces from Linhai to retreat into Xiushui and Xunyang County to hide. The momentum of Extreme East Ice City is unstoppable; we shall temporarily avoid its edge. By joining forces, we can protect ourselves.”

Chu Xisheng had sent out a token when returning to the Formless Divine Mountain, using the stations controlled by the Formless Divine Sect.

He and Chu Yunyun were destined to be rebels; how could they be willing to shield the court?

Zhou Liangchen felt relieved upon hearing these words.

He knew that although Iron Banner Gang had only recently risen, it already had deep roots and held great prestige among the people of Xiushui and Xunyang Counties.

Moreover, the two counties of Xiushui and Xunyang spanned thousands of miles, housing seven or eight million people, providing ample maneuvering space to deal with Extreme East Ice City.

As long as Iron Banner Gang was willing to accept, Zhou Family and Lu Family along with other Linhai forces would have a reliable retreat.

Chu Xisheng actually also wanted to leverage the strength of Coastal families to oppose Extreme East Ice City.

Iron Banner Gang lacked powerful Fourth Grade masters, while Linhai County had several, and Zhou Xiongba’s brother’s cultivation was even at the Third Grade.

Their private army and fleet also had quite formidable combat power.

He comforted Zhou Liangchen for a while and went straight to the main building: “Luanyi, and Yunyun, you two come with me, I have something to tell you.”

Upon hearing, Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanti both raised their eyebrows slightly. They glanced at each other and followed behind Chu Xisheng into the main building of Sky Wave Residence.

Lu Luanti felt curious internally, wondering what Chu Xisheng intended to say to them?

She actually hoped to be alone with Chu Xisheng to speak privately, but today was not convenient, so she could only wait until tomorrow.

As Lu Luanti followed Chu Xisheng through the door, she saw Chu Xisheng lift something to her.

“Luanyi, take a look at this, does it have any use for you?”

It was thirty-five five-colored peacock feathers with eye-like patterns on the top. The whole body was smooth, shimmering with an illusionary glaze.

Lu Luanti glanced at it and looked delighted: “Is this Peacock Five-Colored Feather? Where did you find this?”

These Peacock Five-Colored Feathers were of the Third Grade and had as many as thirty-five pieces, seemingly gathering the entire tail feathers of a Third Grade peacock.

Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: “I’m glad you like it. Later, I’ll have Li Tiangong craft a set of war armor for you as a gift from this journey.”

This was one of the seizures from Chu Xisheng’s slaughter of the ‘Suiye Collection’ at Buzhou Mountain.

Those ‘Suiye Collection’ Human Clan’s Martial Cultivators were con artists towards their kind, but they mainly depended on hunting for a living.

So not only did they have impressive magic artifacts, but they also accumulated a good amount of excellent materials.

Unfortunately, neither he nor Ye Zhiqiu had a magic artifact for Void Storage, so they could only collect them and bury them, hoping to retrieve them later.

Only these thirty-five Peacock Five-Colored Feathers made Chu Xisheng think of Lu Luanti’s ‘Great Ming King Wheel’ and brought them back.

Lu Luanti thought, finally, these months of missing Chu Xisheng weren’t in vain.

“You truly have a heart!”

She happily snatched those Peacock Five-Colored Feathers from Chu Xisheng’s hand and intently examined them.

There were slight cuts and sword marks on these feathers, making Lu Luanti regret; she silently lamented.

Yet, these peacock tail feathers were sufficient to craft a war armor of Fourth Grade Upper Rank.

Li Tiangong, that fellow, not only excelled in refining blades but also in crafting armor.

Chu Xisheng then noticed Chu Yunyun watching him with deep eyes.

Chu Xisheng felt a chill inside inexplicably.

He didn’t dare to neglect, immediately handing over a Jade Bottle: “Take a look at this—”

Chu Yunyun suspiciously took the Jade Bottle.

She opened the bottle and sniffed lightly, then her pupils widened in disbelief: “This should be the crystallized water from the Primordial Blood Pool? Where did you get it?”

That Primordial Blood Pool was on the Sixth Layer of Buzhou Mountain, located at the core of Buzhou Mountain’s Giant Spirit Imperial Court.

“There was a problem with Buzhou Mountain Imperial Court.”

Only then did a smile appear on Chu Xisheng’s face: “We managed to enter the depths of the Imperial Court and obtained this. These Blood Pool Crystals should help you rebuild your foundation.”

Lu Luanti felt indifferent.

Though she didn’t know what the Primordial Blood Pool was, she knew that any item capable of rebuilding one’s foundation was surely extraordinary, far more precious than the Peacock Five-Colored Feathers she held.

However, it’s normal for a brother to be nicer to his sister.

Lu Luanti didn’t delve deeper, assuming that Chu Xisheng’s mention of ‘rebuilding the foundation’ was merely to improve Chu Yunyun’s cultivation and bloodline.

Chu Yunyun, however, displayed an unusual gleam in her eyes.

The content inside could allow her to recover her Fifth Grade cultivation within ten days.

Now she had the Blood of Ten Thousand Ages of the Fifth Tier and True Yuan of the Fifth Grade, enabling her to battle the Earthly List even without relying on the Rebellious God Flag.

Chu Xisheng brought her yet another surprise, substantial in weight.
