High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 102 - 95: Bury Him Beneath a Pile of Experts! (Triple-length)
He took a deep breath and muttered:
"An enemy more powerful than the officers, the Governor, or the Cao Bang..."
"Chen Kuang... my big brother, could it be that he wants to save the entire Jishao County?"
...
Governor’s Mansion.
Who should have been the most esteemed Lord Governor of the mansion was now humbly serving fine wine alongside Fan Hailong of the Cao Bang to the three seated above.
While the Civilization Official from the Zhou Kingdom stood nearby accompanying them.
As a Civilization Official, he represented the grace and might granted by the Emperor of Zhou to the vanquished, and thus, to maintain the Emperor’s dignity, he did not need to bow to the members of the Martial Saint Pavilion.
Especially given the excellent relations between the Martial Saint Pavilion and the Zhou Kingdom.
Even though the three present were all in the Moon Embrace Realm, with one even at the Peak of Moon Embrace Realm, a Half-Step Grandmaster.
"Immortal Master Shi, Immortal Master Bai, Immortal Master Lou, this fine wine is only available from Dongting Lake in Jishao County. It can only be brewed with the water from the lake’s early March thaw, and it takes a century to produce a small jar like this."
"It’s the perfect farewell token for you all."
The Governor introduced the wine with a fawning smile: "May you three Immortal Masters achieve great success!"
These three figures were not to be trifled with; even without the backing of the Martial Saint Pavilion, they were all leaders or elders of significant powers.
Only Elder Shi Youguang from Lankao Mountain, Sect Leader Bai Fen of the Yihuo Sect, and Guest Minister Lou Lan of the Yixin Academy.
Any one of them could make countless people tremble with a single stomp.
The Governor was actually somewhat honored to be serving wine to these three.
In comparison, that student from Freedom Mountain who visited yesterday seemed insignificant.
Ah, humans really shouldn’t be compared.
However, at this moment, what the Governor was most curious about was Chen Kuang, the one who took Lady Liang and her daughter away.
Did this guy have three heads and six arms to prompt the Martial Saint Pavilion to dispatch these three terrifyingly powerful Immortal Masters to encircle and suppress him... It seemed somewhat excessive.
"What, do you seem to have a question?"
Shi Youguang saw through the mortal’s thoughts in front of him.
The Governor was suddenly shocked, directly kneeling down in fright: "I—I wouldn’t dare have any questions..."
Lou Lan chuckled, her fair face bright and charming: "Why are you so scared just by saying a word? Don’t worry, we cultivators are also humans and won’t eat you~"
Bai Fen frowned, seemingly full of disdain and disgust for the Governor’s obsequiousness.
Shi Youguang smiled and said: "If you have any questions, just ask, considering this fine wine."
The Governor sighed in relief and cautiously said: "Isn’t it a bit of an overreaction for three Immortal Masters to deal with this Chen Kuang?"
"In my humble opinion, any one of the Immortal Masters could crush Chen Kuang like an ant."
"An ant?"
Lou Lan giggled: "It would be nice if he were an ant! But unfortunately... he’s not."
She laughed, her eyes exceptionally cold.
Lou Lan reached out and traced her finger across the Governor’s greasy cheek, causing him to momentarily become frenzied, his eyes unfocused.
"What ant could escape unscathed from two Three Tribulations Sect Moon Embrace Realm Elders chasing after him?"
"Di Wu had just received orders to intercept him when the news of his death came... and we still don’t know who killed him." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Once is a coincidence, twice is skill."
"Such skill needs to be taken seriously, even by the Martial Saint Pavilion."
Lou Lan sighed and retracted her hand, leaving the Governor standing still in place:
"If one isn’t enough, and two don’t suffice, then three it is~"
She cheerfully downed the cup of wine from the table: "The Martial Saint Pavilion has plenty of masters. Even if he is a rare genius or prodigy more extraordinary than Shen Xingzhu, our Martial Saint Pavilion can bury him under the masters before he fully matures!"
"Don’t you agree~"
Turning around, she found that Bai Fen had already disappeared.
Lou Lan pursed her lips: "He really is a battle maniac, so impatient."
Shi Youguang said: "In that case, I should be leaving too."
"Weren’t you already gone?"
Lou Lan slapped him directly but her hand passed through Shi Youguang’s head and face, as it turned out only a wisp of his illusion was left there.
He had already gone to the Chen Mansion long ago.
Lou Lan pushed the Governor aside and vanished like a gust of wind.
The Governor fell back in a straight line.
Fan Hailong was shocked and rushed forward, only to find that the Governor was already not breathing, his expression still one of greed and covetousness.
...
Sitting in meditation by the bed, Chen Kuang opened his eyes, his whole aura condensed, and then suddenly surged; a powerful force formed a gale around him. In his meridians, Spiritual Qi condensed into a resilient and unyielding force.
After three days of accumulation, he finally broke through to the Innate stage and cultivated True Essence!
