The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: The Conflict Above the Capital

“I don’t know whether he is of a noble bloodline.”

“I don’t know whether he is of a noble bloodline.” Luo Qinghan knitted her brows when she heard the old woman.

“But his martial talent is probably nothing much. Otherwise, he would not still be at the Qi-gathering stage of practice at sixteen or seventeen years of age.

“She knew what her granny was thinking of.She could confirm that the dramatic increase in her martial talent was inseparable from what occurred with that youth on the planet Ziyun.

Besides that, that time had been the first time for both her and the youth.”There is probably some noble blood in his veins, but he just does not realize it. In that case, everything is clear,” the old woman guessed.”If that’s the case, you are really in luck.”

At this, the old woman could not help laughing.

“This is considered good luck?”Luo Qinghan smiled bitterly.

“If you were given a chance to choose, would you choose the same thing for the both of you, and raise your martial talent, or choose that nothing would have happened?”

The old woman looked deeply at Luo Qinghan and asked, “A lady’s chastity is definitely important. However, I feel that exchanging it for your current martial talent was worth it.”

Hearing the old woman’s words, Luo Qinghan sank back into silence.

Although she did not reject him, she had to examine the depths of her heart. Even if she did not reject him, it was not because he caused her martial talent to increase so dramatically.

Had it been another man, she would rather not have her current martial talent than have abandoned her purity.

After she left the planet of Ziyun, before Luo Qinghan noticed that her level of practice had increased dramatically, she did not know why unbidden thoughts of that handsome youth whose eyes were too full of experience for his age rose in her mind whenever she was free.

Even if she did was unwilling to admit it, she could not help the fact that that youth had rooted himself deeply in her heart and even in her mind.

Maybe it is only because he took my virginity and I have no ill feelings towards him.It was not the first time Luo Qinghan had thought this.

At least Luo Qinghan was very clear and certain on one thing: she did not reject the youth.Whenever she thought of him, the corners of her mouth would curve up in a slight smile.Of course, this was something that others had told her.

…

The planet of Ziyun.The Shenguang empire.

Three months had passed, and Zhou Donghuang had finally arrived safely at the capital city of the Shenguang empire, thanks to Big Gold, and was consequently woken by Su Mo.

“We’re here?”When Zhou Donghuang opened his eyes, he saw before him a vast and expansive city, like a giant beast lying there.Evidently this was the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

“Master, let’s find an inn first before planning our next move,” Su Mo suggested as Big Gold circled in the air outside the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

“Mm, you go arrange it.”Zhou Donghuang nodded.”It’s good I brought along all the golden notes printed by the Shenguang empire that were in the Valley of the Medicine Masters; we can stay at one of the better inns.”

Su Mo smiled.Although there were also golden notes in circulation in the border regions of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, they were printed by the Valley of the Medicine Masters.In the border regions of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, the Valley of the Medicine Masters did not allow any of the countries to print their own golden notes.

Only they could print golden notes.If any of the countries in the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley wanted more golden notes, they had to send gold to the Valley of the Medicine Masters in exchange for them.The countries in the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley had the power to print only silver notes.

In any case, the gold notes printed by the Valley of the Medicine Masters had no value as legal tender in the Shenguang empire.

In the Shenguang empire, even Su Mo, the Valley Lord of the Valley of Medicine Masters, had to use real silver and gold as currency if he did not have the golden notes printed by the imperial court of the Shenguang empire.

However, many of the previous valley lords of the Valley of Medicine Masters had spent time in the Shenguang empire; therefore, there was a considerable store of golden notes in the Valley of Medicine Masters that had been printed by the Shenguang empire.

On the planet of Ziyun, real silver and gold were the most widespread form of currency, but a higher form of currency was the spirit stones.In any case, under normal circumstances on Ziyun, a spirit stone could not be obtained with any amount of real silver and gold unless someone wanted to exchange the spirit stone for the precious metals.

Spirit stones had value, but there was no market for them in terms of real silver and gold.

“Master, some places in the Shenguang empire do not allow flying demons to enter. Please inform your golden-crowned eagle of this.”

Su Mo gave a reminder before the golden-crowned eagle Big Gold entered the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

When they were approaching the capital city of the Shenguang empire, Zhou Donghuang saw many flying demons entering and leaving the airspace above the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

“There are really so many people.”

Zhou Donghuang originally thought that the number of people entering and leaving on flying demons was great, but when he looked down, he noticed that there were even more people passing through the gates of the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

There were people on foot, and also people on demons.

“A Primal Core adept!”Suddenly, Su Mo’s warning sounded in Zhou Donghuang’s ears.

Unconsciously following Su Mo’s gaze, Zhou Donghuang saw at once a middle-aged man in a long blue robe flying through the air into the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

There was a faint white, somewhat diffused haze around the middle-aged man’s body.”Early Primal Core stage adept.”It was obvious to Zhou Donghuang that the middle-aged man in the blue robe was an early Primal Core stage adept.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang also noticed that the middle-aged man in the blue flying into the capital city of the Shenguang empire did not attract much attention, and only he and Su Mo were staring at him.

It was actually Su Mo’s outcry that had attracted the gaze of many of the people riding flying demons who were entering and leaving the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

Many people merely glanced at Su Mo and Zhou Donghuang before looking away.However, one middle-aged man who was also riding a large eagle demon smiled mockingly.

“Coming from the countryside? Haven’t even seen a Primal Core adept? Making such a scene, what a joke!”

“What has it got to do with you if I make a scene?”

Su Mo immediately fixed a cold stare on the man as he replied casually. He was after all the valley lord of the Valley of the Medicine Masters and being mocked by someone to his face was more than he could stand.

“What? You’re obviously from the countryside, but refuse to acknowledge it?”

The middle-aged man’s expression suddenly turned cold, and his qi whistled out, three feet long.

He was evidently a middle Connate adept.At this, Su Mo laughed casually and looked away.

The man was merely a middle Connate adept, and if he were to get involved in an argument over this, it would be unbecoming of him.Whatever else he may be, he was still a late Connate adept with a level of practice approaching the supreme Connate stage.

However, even though Su Mo did not intend to pursue the matter, the man did not intend to let it rest. After giving a cold look, he immediately rode his giant eagle flying demon, which was at the early Connate stage like Big Gold, at great speed towards Big Gold.

The middle-aged man was wearing a savage grin on his face as he struck his palm out toward Big Gold. A three-foot-long green palm whistled out, and it seemed that it would hit Big Gold.This scene happened so suddenly!

By the time Big Gold had recovered his wits, the middle-aged man’s palm which had three feet of qi was already so close that he was unable to dodge. He could only say in a panic to the youth on his back, “Young Master, save me!”

Zhou Donghuang’s expression froze, and he prepared to retaliate and teach that middle-aged man on the eagle flying demon a lesson, shouting

“You dare!”

With an enraged roar, Su Mo struck before Zhou Donghuang, his right hand sweeping through the air, his index and middle finger together pointing out.

Swish!!

An arrow of qi shot out from Su Mo’s fingertips, slicing through the air, swelling to ten feet long in an instant, not only easily defeating the middle-aged man’s three-foot palm of qi, but even passing through the skull of the man’s eagle demon with a cracking sound.”No!”With the death of the eagle demon, the middle-aged man’s expression changed completely, and he instinctively shook his legs, three feet of qi pouring from them, and sprung toward Big Gold using the momentum from the dead giant eagle.He intended to grab on to Big Gold to stay in the air.

If he could not, falling from his current altitude, even with the dead eagle demon as a meaty landing mat, he would most likely end up dead!

If he managed to survive, he would surely become a cripple.The middle-aged man made the decision in a flash and tried to grab onto Big Gold to avoid plummeting to the ground.

“Go down!”

Seeing the middle-aged man springing forwards, a murderous look flashed through Su Mo’s eyes, and he pointed again towards man’s hand reaching for Big Gold.

Ka-chak!!

The qi shot out by from Su Mo’s fingertips passed cleanly through the middle-aged man’s wrist, leaving a bloody hole, and his whole hand fell off, followed by the man plummeting through the air.”No—!”The middle-aged man’s shrill cry sounded.

Crash!!

An instant later, a loud crash sounded from below, as the man fell onto the city walls of the capital city of the Shenguang empire, turning into meat paste.

Swoosh!!

As the crowd of people riding flying demons circled around watching, the golden-crowned eagle Big Gold flapped his wings in fright and shot forward into the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

As Zhou Donghuang and Su Mo were carried into the capital city of the Shenguang empire by the golden-crowned eagle, an old man on the back of a flying demon watched and muttered to himself, “Those two are in deep trouble!”

“That person who died seemed to be Yang Wei of the Yang family?”

“Correct! It was the eighth elder of the Yang family, Yang Wei!”
