Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

Chapter 72 - Return to Horizon City, the threat of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion

Chapter 72: Return to Horizon City, the threat of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion

With a loud boom, the old man could not react in time.

He was hit by the rotating beam of light.

He only had time to activate his true essence to protect his body. However, how powerful was the Tiangang Meteorite Finger? Could it be protected by just his true essence?

The destructive beam of light broke through his true essence protection and penetrated the old man’s body. The anger in his old eyes turned into fear, and finally turned into a pale white color.

In the end, the old man fell down.

Along with the booming sound, his immortal destiny mark was also shattered instantly. He was so old that he would not be able to live any longer.

Then, Su Yi looked around and found that Xuan Yijian had disappeared. Su Yi was a little stunned. That guy had such a sharp sense of danger, and he actually ran away in advance?

Then, he did not pay much attention to it. With a step, he actually turned into a black shadow and quickly shuttled between the Dark Abyss Cliff.

At this moment, his figure was really like that afterimage. It was almost impossible to see his appearance clearly as he dashed toward the periphery of the Dark Abyss Cliff.

The speed boost brought by the Footloose Illusionary Body Technique was fully displayed here.

Occasionally, the cultivators who passed by only felt a black shadow and a gust of wind. He did not wait for those cultivators who passed by to react, and Su Yi’s figure had already traveled an unknown distance.

In just half a day’s time, Su Yi arrived at a teleportation node in Horizon City.

Once he stepped into the teleportation node, the teleportation array was activated. Under the power of the teleportation array, his body turned into a ray of light and shot into the sky.

…

Horizon City–

Inside a magnificent teleportation array, two heavily armored guards stood outside the teleportation array. They were only responsible for the safety and operation of the teleportation array.

If there were cultivators fighting in front of them, as long as the safety of the teleportation array was not involved, they would hardly move.

At this moment, a ray of light shot straight into the teleportation array from the horizon.

The stream of light transformed into a figure, and this figure was none other than Su Yi.

It would only take about 15 minutes to return to Horizon City from the teleportation node. If they were to walk back, it would probably take three to four days.

Looking at Horizon City, it still looked the same. The buildings were still tall, and there were cultivators walking around everywhere. There were even some cultivators who set up stalls by the side of the street selling scattered demon beast materials and ores.

Looking at the familiar scene in his eyes, he stepped out of the teleportation array in two or three steps and quickly headed toward the Nie family branch like the wind.

With his current speed, he soon arrived at the Nie family branch. He stood in front of the Nie family branch’s pavilion and noticed something was wrong.

Even if there were few people, it was impossible for it to be so quiet. He looked at the Nie family branch and heard nothing.

His brows slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with solemnity. It seemed that this matter was somewhat serious.

Nie Ling also did not tell him in detail through the immortal destiny seal.

She quickly stepped into the main door of the trading firm. She saw that many of the staff members in the trading firm were in low spirits, and their faces were faintly filled with worry.

At this moment, a figure outside the trading firm’s door attracted their gazes.

They saw a somewhat unfamiliar employee come forward and speak indifferently to Su Yi.

“Sir, may I ask if there’s anything I can help you with?”

However, he was quickly pulled away by the other employees. A familiar-looking employee came forward and respectfully said to Su Yi.

“Young Master Su, you’re back.”

Su Yi did not refute anything. Previously, he often worked together with Nie Ling in this trading firm, so it was normal for some of the old employees to recognize him.

He lightly nodded his head and looked at the familiar-looking employee.

“What about your family’s young miss and shopkeeper? Aren’t they in the trading firm?”

Hearing this, the employee’s face revealed an ugly smile as he sighed.

“Young master Su, you might not know this, but the young miss and shopkeeper are currently in the middle of a discussion with the people from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I’m afraid they won’t be able to return for a while.”

Hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Su Yi’s face revealed a pensive expression. His gaze looked through the door of the trading firm towards the horizon city outside, and a dangerous glint flashed through his eyes.

“Thousand Treasures Pavilion…”

..

In the center of Heaven’s Favorite City, there were streets filled with cultivators.

A tall pavilion that didn’t fit in with the surroundings rose up from the ground. It had the appearance of an ancient building, and golden lanterns hung at the corners of the eaves.

On top of this building was a pavilion that was well-connected in all directions. A gentle breeze blew past the wind chimes hanging on the beams, stirring up a crisp and pleasant sound.

Compared to the surrounding buildings, this building appeared more elegant and grand, as if it was usually used to cultivate one’s sentiments. On the main door of the pavilion, a black plaque with silver characters engraved with the words ‘third brother’.

Wind and Rain Tower.

At this time, there were two guards dressed in armor standing on both sides of the door, their eyes looking indifferently at the cultivators walking past.

Above the Wind and Rain Tower, in a tea pavilion.

Two women and a man were sitting opposite each other. The man had an imposing bearing and a smile on his face, as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.

He smiled as he looked at Nie Ling, who was dressed in green and had a cold expression between his brows.

“I wonder if Miss Nie has considered my suggestion just now?”

As he spoke, he slightly stretched out his hand and picked up a cup of fragrant tea that the maid had brewed and took two sips with a smile. Then, his gaze continued to look at Nie Ling, as if he was waiting for her response.

Nie Ling looked codly at the person from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion before her. She had just returned from the ancient ruins and before she had the time to deal with the trivial matters in the trading company, this person came knocking on her door.

According to what she knew, this man in her eyes was the clan that supported the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. The person from the Lu clan was also the second young master of the clan, Lu Shixian.

Although this Lu Shixian’s talent in the immortal path was not too high, the clan still placed great importance on him and let him take care of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s matters in the Central Plains.

When he reached the core formation realm in the future, it would still be the same when he reached the zhongtian realm.

This was because he had a terrifying elder brother, a supreme genius with an immortal body.

The matter he had just proposed to Nie Ling was because he had taken a liking to Nie Ling’s beauty. As long as Nie Ling became his Dao companion and abandoned Su Yi, their relationship would be severed.

At that time, the Nie family’s trading company and the Thousand Treasures Pavilion would unite, and there would not be any other trading company in the central plains of the great desoalte.

Would that not be beautiful?

Nie Ling stared at this young master Lu Shixian. Her gaze was completely emotionless as she indifferently said to him, “Young Master Lu, forgive me for not being interested in your suggestion.”

Hearing this, Lu Shixian’s expression did not change as he continued to speak with a smile, “are you sure? Right now, the foundation of your Nie family’s branch is on the verge of collapse in the Central Plains. Do you have any other method to save your company?”

Although he was smiling, his tone was extremely cold. This was a real threat.

Right now, in Horizon City, the Nie family branch could not receive any foundation establishment realm materials. All of them were monopolized by the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Therefore, in Lu Shixian’s eyes, the current Nie family branch had no way out.

While the two of them were confronting each other, there was a commotion coming from below the Wind and Rain Tower.

“Halt! Wind and Rain Tower is not open to the public today!”
