Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 650 - 627 Invitation (1/3)

"Brother Zhou must be careful. The opening day of the Imperial Dragon Hall is soon, and Cold Frost Young Master could appear at any time! With his haughty and domineering nature, he will certainly stop at nothing to seek revenge on Brother Zhou!" Lian Jingxiang solemnly said.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Would he dare to kill his way onto your Lian Family’s star ship?"

Lian Jingxiang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as she said, "Although the Lian Family’s power is not weak, it has too many branches. Only one Sunshine Emperor Old Ancestor from my line is stationed here, and he hasn’t come this time. It won’t be possible to suppress Ke En!"

Zhou Heng did not intend to rely on the Lian Family. He smiled and said, "I am actually quite looking forward to meeting this Cold Frost Young Master!"

Lian Jingxiang sighed. It was undeniable that Zhou Heng was a monstrous talent who could sweep through his peers, but his disadvantage was his unusually young age. If he had another hundred years, he could fully compete with Cold Frost Young Master!

But time is a cultivator’s life; the old weaken and the young are frail, all because of time.

And geniuses are proud. Zhou Heng surpassed the limits to become the Moonlight Emperor; he ambitiously believed he could overthrow the Sunshine King! Unfortunately, there is a huge gap between the Moonlight Emperor and the Sunshine King, and no genius in history had ever crossed it.

If Zhou Heng were to compete with Ke En now, the only outcome would be a battered and bloody defeat, pointlessly sacrificing his life!

"Such arrogance!" Lian Youhao also came onto the deck and swept Zhou Heng with his gaze, his face showing clear displeasure.

Competition within the Lian Family was fierce. His line was not dominant, and he was banking on this trip to the Imperial Dragon Hall to score points. If they were swept aside by Cold Frost Young Master, how could their line hold their heads up within the family?

Zhou Heng indeed had great potential in both the Martial Path and the Alchemy Dao, but potential is ultimately a thing of the future. Offending a genius-level Sunshine King because of this was unwise!

He originally planned to protect Zhou Heng in exchange for his loyalty, but these days, he had realized he was too optimistic.

This trip, he was the strongest expert from the Lian Family, but he knew he was no match for Cold Frost Young Master! The only real reliance he had was the Spiritual Power Cannon on the star ship, but it was only effective in mass combat. Against a powerful individual Martial Artist, it was nearly useless as there was no chance to lock onto the opponent!

After much consideration, if Cold Frost Young Master truly did attack, he would definitely hand over Zhou Heng.

After all, Zhou Heng had indeed slain the man’s follower; seeking revenge was justified and righteous, right?

Zhou Heng glanced at Lian Youhao but did not take his attitude to heart. Out of respect for Lian Jingxiang, he did not wish to confront him, although he was indeed eager to test his strength against the Sunshine King.

"Young man, you should know reverence; do not think the whole world revolves around you!" Lian Youhao had become addicted and started lecturing Zhou Heng.

If this young man had known when to advance and retreat, he would not have caused so much trouble, and Lian Youhao could have recruited this talent. But now... alas, he could only give up.

"May I ask if this is indeed the Lian Family’s star ship?" Just then, a Flowing Cloud Shuttle shot over and hovered above the ship. A young man stood at the bow, exuding a terrifying aura.

This was a Sunshine King, and his strength was quite extraordinary!

"Indeed! May I ask who you are—eh!" Lian Youhao suddenly looked shocked and exclaimed, "Are you perhaps a follower of Hu Mei, the Thorn Blood Rose?"

Hu Mei? That young Sunshine King known as the Thorn Blood Rose, unrivaled among her peers in sweeping through Martial Artists!

"Indeed, I am!" The young man, Zhu Mo, smiled faintly, barely noticing Lian Youhao’s almost obsequious demeanor, "I am here under the young miss’s orders to deliver an invitation!"

An invitation!

Hu Mei was hosting a banquet tomorrow and inviting all the talents she deemed worthy. This was no secret!

She was one of the recognized five young experts who could obtain the legacy of the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes in this trip to the Imperial Dragon Hall!

Right now, everyone was eagerly trying to establish a connection with one of these five, hoping to share in the spoils.

Lian Youhao dreamed of attending Hu Mei’s party because reliable sources informed that two other prodigious young talents, Wu Qi and Du Hansheng, would also attend. This could well be the last grand gathering before the opening of the Imperial Dragon Hall, potentially deciding the ownership of the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes!

Unexpectedly, Hu Mei had her follower personally deliver the invitation!

This this this this! Lian Youhao was thrilled. Even though he was a Sunshine King, his face instantly flushed red, unable to hide his excitement.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhu, please come inside for a moment!"

"I have pressing matters to attend to, so there’s no need to go inside!" Zhu Mo smiled faintly. Although he was just a follower of Hu Mei, he was a powerful Sunshine King in his own right and did not think highly of Lian Youhao. He looked around and said, "Which one is Brother Zhou Heng? The young miss instructed me to ensure that I personally deliver the invitation into Brother Zhou’s hands!"

Smack!

Lian Youhao’s heart shattered at that moment like glass, broken into pieces!

It was actually for Zhou Heng? That troublemaker he had already decided to give up on? What virtues or abilities does this boy possess to gain Hu Mei’s favorable attention?

Lian Youhao only felt his face burning hot; he had assumed the invitation was for him, but in reality, it had slapped him hard across the face—it hurt! He clenched his fists, a murderous intent surged in his heart, as he looked at Zhou Heng, wishing to pulverize the man who had made him a laughing stock!

How embarrassing!

Just now, he was nothing but a clown!

Zhou Heng was stunned. Why would Hu Mei send him an invitation? Although he was a Three Stars Pharmacist, he did not believe that a mere Three Stars Pharmacist could catch the eye of such a distinguished young genius.

That’s it!

It must be that she found out he auctioned those three Soul Consolidating Pills. Although he didn’t know how she learned of it, with her intelligence, she must have deduced that the pills were concocted by him. Thus, Zhou Heng’s value had naturally taken a huge leap!

Seven Stars Pharmacist!

This level of Pharmacist could already influence the Sublimation Emperor. Even if Hu Mei had no plans to recruit Zhou Heng, she would definitely give face to a Seven Stars Pharmacist—unless she no longer wished to stay in Forty-Nine Immortal City.

Therefore, the invitation was sent over, and they even dispatched a Sunshine King, which was indeed giving Zhou Heng enough respect.

As the saying goes, "It takes a grand carriage to win people over." Seeing that the other party was so courteous, Zhou Heng did not make things difficult and smilingly rose into the air, saying, "I am indeed Zhou Heng; I appreciate Brother Zhu making this trip personally!"

"It’s no trouble," Zhu Mo looked deeply at Zhou Heng. There were things Hu Mei wouldn’t tell him, so he was curious as to why she invited Zhou Heng.

The other party was merely a Moonlight Emperor, so what qualified him to make the young miss take such serious precautions, even reminding him not to lose manners?

He saw nothing particular; after handing over the invitation to Zhou Heng, he took his leave.

Zhou Heng returned to the deck, and Lian Youhao’s face still hadn’t recovered, still purple with rage. Zhu Mo was still around, so it wasn’t good for him to leave; now, he glared at Zhou Heng fiercely and stormed off.

Given his current anger, he really wanted to annihilate Zhou Heng, but now that the man was Hu Mei’s honored guest, he didn’t dare to act rashly without understanding the situation.

Angering Hu Mei would have consequences as severe as angering Cold Frost Young Master, both of whom were young geniuses capable of sweeping through their peers!

Lian Jingxiang was slightly surprised, then smiled, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"

"What’s there to congratulate?" Zhou Heng shook his head, as this wasn’t him being coy.

Lian Jingxiang just smiled, saying, "Since the Thorn Blood Rose values you so highly, you needn’t fear even if Cold Frost Young Master arrives. These two might fight, but certainly not at this time!"

It would probably be during the contest for the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes.

When Zhou Heng opened the invitation, it stated that he could bring a companion, but Black Donkey immediately leaned in and said, "Looks like it’s going to be me accompanying you again!"

Lian Jingxiang showed a hint of disappointment, yet she said, "Have fun at the party, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Heng laughed and said to Black Donkey, "Aside from causing trouble, what else can you do? You better not join the party this time!" He and Black Donkey were newcomers to the Immortal Realm, and having Lian Jingxiang by his side could explain many things to him.

After promising to bring back a plethora of Immortal Fruits and delicacies to this cheeky donkey through Divine Sense, Black Donkey finally agreed not to accompany Zhou Heng.

Lian Jingxiang was overjoyed; attending this level of banquet was a recognition of her status and identity. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The Lian Family was powerful, but this branch was declining and urgently needed to boost their influence through social events.

She immediately told Lian Youhao, who was still furious and not in the mood to be happy, he abruptly scolded Lian Jingxiang and sent her away.

A day passed swiftly. Although there was no day and night in the dark universe, there was naturally a timekeeping hourglass to calculate the time and dates. "Early in the morning", Lian Jingxiang had finished dressing up and reminded Zhou Heng it was time to leave.

This woman was in a long dress intertwining red and green, with a purplish-red belt tied around her waist, perfectly outlining her slim figure. Her voluptuous body was alluring, with her breasts elevated and her peach-like buttocks tightly wrapped, unbearably sexy.

Even though Zhou Heng was used to seeing stunning beauties, he couldn’t help but feel a moment of amazement, but it lasted only a moment, as there were many among his wives who were more exceptional than Lian Jingxiang. It was purely an instant of admiration.

"Brother Zhou, aren’t you going to change your clothes?" Lian Jingxiang saw that Zhou Heng was still in the same clothes from a few days ago, and could not help showing a look of surprise.

As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man, as gold adorns a Buddha." Dressing up could definitely enhance one’s charm significantly.

"No need, it’s not a big deal!" Zhou Heng said indifferently. (To be continued. If you like this novel, please vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
