A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: One Slap Kills Lu Guan

“This is bad, really bad. Senior Lu’s aura has grown much stronger. At first, perhaps these two Immortal King-level experts from the Wu Commerce Association could still contend with him, but now, they’d better just pray for their own survival.”

“Wait, don’t you think the two Immortal Kings from the Wu Commerce Association look way too calm? Bold guess—maybe they still have backup plans.”

“Impossible, right? Could it be that they’re not Immortal Kings but Immortal Sovereigns?”

The onlookers from the Central Plains Region, upon seeing Lu Guan’s arrival, instinctively assumed that Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong were doomed. Yet none of them noticed the calm, even slightly mocking expressions on Jiang Ye’s and Wu Qilong’s faces.

Jiang Ye thought: Fortunately, I mentioned it to the president. Otherwise, judging by the current situation, I really wouldn’t stand a chance against Lu Guan. But now, let’s see Lu Guan pray for his own survival.

Wu Qilong muttered, “Hmph, just a mere Intermediate Stage Immortal King. If I were at my peak, I could kill countless with a single thought.”

Lu Guan declared, “I will crush these two with an invincible posture to uphold the dignity of the Central Plains Region’s lord!”

“No, no, no. It’s not us who are going against you. It’s you who wants to go against us.”

Jiang Ye looked at Lu Guan with an extremely calm expression and said this.

Upon hearing this, Lu Guan couldn’t help but laugh in frustration at Jiang Ye’s arrogant tone.

“I’m curious—where does a Initial Stage Immortal King like you get the confidence to take on me, an Intermediate Stage Immortal King? Forget it, I’m too lazy to waste words. Let’s get this over with.”

Cai Jiuyuan wielded a blade, and naturally, as the master behind Cai Jiuyuan, Lu Guan was also a swordsman.

Although Lu Guan’s cultivation level meant he could easily kill Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong, Lu Guan never gave his enemies even the slightest chance—unless they were utterly pathetic.

When Lu Guan made his move, the surrounding spectators instinctively believed Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong’s fate was sealed—but the next moment, they were stunned.

Just as Lu Guan charged right in front of Jiang Ye, Wu Qilong suddenly appeared before Jiang Ye, then with an unremarkable slap, completely destroyed Lu Guan’s spirit and soul, scattering them into nothingness.

The area instantly fell into dead silence. Everyone was shaken by the scene before them. After all, Lu Guan was an Intermediate Stage Immortal King, yet he was so easily wiped out—and in such a reckless manner?

Before, when Cai Jiuyuan had an Immortal King kill a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, that had made some sense. But now, it was clear Wu Qilong’s power far exceeded their imagination—he was probably truly an Immortal Sovereign.

“President, didn’t you tell him to keep a low profile?”“You killed him with just one slap—how are we supposed to play this out now?”

Jiang Ye looked at Wu Qilong, whose expression had already calmed, and furrowed his brows as he said.

Wu Qilong retorted with a hint of annoyance, “How was I supposed to know he was so weak? I hadn’t even put any real effort into it before he just blew up.”

“All right, all right. Since it’s done, let it be. But next time, try to keep it under control.”

Jiang Ye sighed, feeling a bit helpless. There wasn’t much he could do—he couldn’t beat Wu Qilong, and if he complained, who knew if Wu Qilong might make things difficult for him later?

The next moment, Jiang Ye flew over to the group of strong figures who had been watching earlier, startling them. They initially feared Jiang Ye intended to eliminate witnesses, but Jiang Ye clasped his fists and bowed politely.

“Everyone, the Wu Commerce Association has established a branch in the Central Plains Region. We ask for your support going forward.”

The strong figures from the Central Plains were momentarily stunned but quickly understood. They responded sincerely:

“Senior, rest assured, we are on your side. If anyone dares to target the Wu Commerce Association, we will be the first to oppose it!”

“Exactly. The Wu Commerce Association is a well-established name for thousands of years. We will definitely give our full support.”

“Damn it, I never expected the Yaoyuan Commerce Association to attack the Wu Commerce Association. Senior, don’t worry—there’s no need for your association to take action. We’ll go wipe out the Yaoyuan Commerce Association ourselves right now!”

Before long, the powerful figures scattered, spreading word of what had happened and giving orders not to harm anyone from the Wu Commerce Association.

After all, judging from today’s events, the Wu Commerce Association fiercely protects its own. If someone caught their attention badly enough, it wouldn’t be long before they found their own graves.

As for the Yaoyuan Commerce Association, having lost Lu Guan, Cai Jiuyuan, and the Vice President, even if the Wu Commerce Association didn’t take action, the other forces in the Central Plains Region would soon move to annihilate them—and then hand the spoils over to the Wu Commerce Association to seek good relations.

Once everyone had left, Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong turned to look at Lu Ziqi, who, with the help of the elixirs Jiang Ye had given him, had fully recovered from his injuries.

“Thank you both, seniors, for saving me,” Lu Ziqi said, bowing deeply to Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong, his gratitude unmistakably sincere.

Jiang Ye waved off the thanks and said, “You don’t need to thank us. You’re working for the Wu Commerce Association—that’s what you deserve. As long as anyone dares to bully the Wu Commerce Association by relying on their strength, we will never stand idly by.”

“Yes, Senior, I understand. From now on, I, Lu Ziqi, will wholeheartedly dedicate myself to serving the Wu Commerce Association!”

Lu Ziqi said emotionally, because if it weren’t for the two seniors before him and the Wu Commerce Association, he probably would never have had the chance to take revenge, and might have even died at the hands of Cai Jiuyuan.

“Alright, focus on your work. We’ll be leaving now. If anything comes up that you can’t handle, get in touch with Headquarters.”

“Yes!”

With that, Lu Ziqi watched the two seniors depart, and only after they left did he turn to give orders to the Vice President.

“Get ready. I feel like the era of the Wu Commerce Association is about to begin.”

At that moment, Lu Ziqi’s eyes gleamed with ambition. It was rumored that if one could cultivate to an extremely powerful level, they could step into the flow of time itself—in which case, he might be able to rescue his Dao Companion.

Previously, Lu Ziqi thought he might never reach that realm in his lifetime, but now it seemed that if he devoted himself fully to serving the Wu Commerce Association, he might even catch a glimpse of that level.

A day and a night later, Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong also returned to the Xuan Central Region and reported to Wu Rulong in person.

“President, mission accomplished as instructed.”

“Hmm, you’ve worked hard. You may go rest. Oh, and Qilong, your father has something to discuss with you.”

Wu Rulong nodded but then seemed to remember something, looking at Wu Qilong as he added.

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Wu Qilong’s face. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Wu Hao to take the initiative to seek him out, especially since the last time he saw Wu Hao was on Penglai Immortal Island.
