Ch 683: Zhao Lianzhen
The three immediately spoke up in rebuttal, feeling that this was simply too absurd.
Clearly, they hadn’t even had the chance to board the boat before being driven away, so how could Ji Hongguang chase after them claiming they stole something?
“Still quibbling!”
Ji Hongguang coldly snorted, stating firmly, “Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false. To know whether you stole the Treasure or not, hand over your Storage Bags for me to examine. As long as your Storage Bags don’t contain the Treasure from my boat, then you are innocent.”
The Emperor Soul Pill might be in Li Hanzhou’s Storage Bag; he absolutely must personally take a look.
“Impossible.”
Hearing this, Xu Pengyun and the other two’s faces instantly darkened, and without a second thought, they directly refused.
They hadn’t done such a thing at all; why should they hand over their Storage Bags to Ji Hongguang?
They knew their Storage Bags contained everything they might need for this Secret Realm trip.
If they foolishly handed over their Storage Bags, if anything were missing afterward, they wouldn’t be able to get it back.
After all, their Yuanyang Sect was merely a small sect, and the difference in strength between them and Ji Mansion was worlds apart.
Even if they suffered a loss, they could only blame themselves.
Moreover, they hadn’t stolen anything; why should they listen to Ji Hongguang?
“I’ve said all I need to. Since you won’t listen, don’t blame me for taking action myself.”
Ji Hongguang’s expression suddenly turned incredibly cold.
The next moment, the oppressive aura of a Divine Transformation Stage Expert erupted from him, crushing down toward everyone.
Xu Pengyun and the other two instantly felt an overwhelming pressure, as if an insurmountable mountain was crashing down on them.
The three’s faces also instantly turned deathly pale; they felt a sweetness in their throats, on the verge of spitting out blood.
A look of terror appeared in the eyes of Xu Pengyun and the other two.
They felt that Ji Hongguang, this person from Ji Mansion, was truly unreasonable and tyrannical, wanting to take them back for a search without any evidence.
That aside, now he wasn’t even willing to reason with them, directly attacking them.
This was truly going too far.
But Li Hanzhou was perfectly clear that the so-called lost Treasure was merely Ji Hongguang’s excuse.
What he truly wanted to obtain was the Emperor Soul Pill in his possession, and for this, he fabricated this unfounded matter.
Simply relying on words to argue was useless; he believed that no matter what they said, Ji Hongguang wouldn’t give up.
Unless he handed over the Emperor Soul Pill, but that was even more impossible.
In that case, there was only one option: eliminate the opponent.
Ji Hongguang stared intently at Li Hanzhou, killing intent overflowing from his face.
Now that he had finally seen Li Hanzhou again, this time he absolutely had to get the Emperor Soul Pill.
However, at that moment.
A woman’s voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Your Ji Mansion is a bit too overbearing, isn’t it?”
With the words falling.
In the distant Sky Dome, bursts of radiant light suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
In the area enveloped by the radiant light, there were actually numerous cranes appearing.
And on the cranes, many female cultivators wearing white skirts were standing.
The voice just now came from the woman at the head, standing atop a crane.
The woman’s expression was cold, her whole body emanating a terrifying aura, easily overpowering the oppressive aura emanating from Ji Hongguang.
“Zhao Lianzhen!”
At the first glance at this woman, Ji Hongguang immediately recognized her.
After glancing at Li Hanzhou, Zhao Lianzhen’s figure flashed, instantly disappearing from her spot and appearing in front of Li Hanzhou.
Then, she looked at Ji Hongguang with an emotionless expression, her tone icy: “What Treasure exactly did you lose? State it clearly.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was somewhat incredulous.
Xu Pengyun and the others were instantly stunned, and even Li Hanzhou was somewhat surprised.
They hadn’t expected this woman to suddenly appear, actually to help them.
However, Ji Hongguang’s gaze suddenly turned unsightly.
He hadn’t expected people from the Yaohua Immortal Sect to interfere; now the matter suddenly became more complicated.
“It was merely a trivial Treasure.”
Ji Hongguang took a deep breath and explained to Zhao Lianzhen.
“Oh? Then state it, and I’ll examine it for you.”
Zhao Lianzhen continued.
“No need to trouble yourself.”
Ji Hongguang looked at Li Hanzhou and the others, coldly snorted: “For the sake of the Yaohua Immortal Sect, I’ll let you off this time.”
After saying this, he returned to the Flying Boat and turned to leave.
Being from Ji Mansion and a Divine Transformation Stage Expert, he naturally wasn’t afraid of these women from the Yaohua Immortal Sect.
But this matter involved the Emperor Soul Pill, a Taboo item. If Li Hanzhou revealed it, that wouldn’t be good.
It seemed he could only look for another opportunity to take the Emperor Soul Pill from Li Hanzhou.
Watching Ji Hongguang drive the Flying Boat away in resentment, Li Hanzhou withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhao Lianzhen, and clasped his hands, saying, “Thank you, Senior, for saving us.”
Xu Pengyun and the other two also immediately reacted and quickly expressed their thanks.
This Secret Realm trip was truly too tortuous for them; encountering the dangers of the Thousand Fiends Soul Entangling Wind and Demons along the way was one thing.
There was also a Strong Person from Ji Mansion making things difficult for them, but thankfully, everything was resolved now.
Zhao Lianzhen glanced at Li Hanzhou, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She had originally thought that even with the help of the Seven Souls Grass, it would be extremely difficult for Li Hanzhou to wake up, but unexpectedly, after only a short time, seeing Li Hanzhou again, he had actually woken up and even had Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Level.
It seemed this kid wasn’t a mediocre person.
“I only saved you for my disciple’s sake. The Secret Realm is extremely dangerous; this isn’t something you, a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, can rashly enter. A slight misstep could lead to death. Be careful.”
Recalling her thoughts, Zhao Lianzhen addressed Li Hanzhou.
“Disciple? So that’s how it is…”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou understood why Zhao Lianzhen had helped him.
“We should go too.”
Zhao Lianzhen’s figure flashed, and she arrived on a crane, saying to her Fellow Disciples.
Then, accompanied by bursts of radiant light rising, Zhao Lianzhen and the others left on the cranes.
“Senior actually knows an Expert from the Yaohua Immortal Sect!”
“We truly owe Senior a great debt this time. Otherwise, if we encountered this kind of matter, we wouldn’t know how to handle it.”
Xu Pengyun and the others looked at Li Hanzhou, their eyes full of surprise, their mouths agape in amazement.
From Zhao Lianzhen’s tone, she clearly knew Li Hanzhou.
This was truly beyond their expectations, because in their impression, Li Hanzhou had always been a lone Rogue Cultivator. Unexpectedly, he actually had a connection with the Yaohua Immortal Sect.
