The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 74: No Big Deal, Someone Will Take Action

When Su Jingzhen opened the Labor Palace’s secret chamber, it was already enough to shock Shuang Jiang.

But at that time, Shuang Jiang had already determined that Su Jingzhen was a rare talent in cultivation, someone who only appeared once in a hundred years.

So, in Su Jingzhen’s view, even if he was exposed, even if Shuang Jiang discovered that he had already opened the Surging Spring secret chamber, it could still be explained away.

But at this moment, Su Jingzhen didn’t think too much about it.

His gaze was fixed on Chen Jinshi in front of him.

“Brother Chen, didn’t Vice Principal Cao say earlier that all the guests present could challenge you, the new inner disciple of Huayang Sect?”

Su Jingzhen’s words were accompanied by a rare surge of battle intent.

Today, things had already reached this point, and it was inevitable that a battle would ensue.

After all, Su Jingzhen himself knew that having only a high cultivation realm without actual combat experience was useless.

As soon as he spoke, not only Chen Jinshi was stunned, but also the surrounding people from Huayang Sect, including Chen Chong.

They all looked at him as if he were a monster.

“Does this kid want to challenge Brother Chen?”

“He didn’t deliberately hide his aura, and I shouldn’t be mistaken – his cultivation is at the second layer of Qi Refining, right?”

“Haha, it seems that Brother Chen has really provoked him. He really can’t hold back his anger.”

“……”

The nearby Huayang Sect disciples were stunned, and then they all burst out laughing.

Today’s ceremony had been quite dull, but Su Jingzhen’s actions had finally added some excitement to the event.

Even Luo Yuebai, who was standing not far away, had a stunned expression on his face.

He sent a message to Su Jingzhen, not intending for him to challenge Chen Jinshi like this.

“Brother Su, have you gone crazy?”

Luo Yuebai sent another message.

“The ceremony isn’t exclusive to Huayang Sect; we can take these kids back and have plenty of opportunities later. Why be so stubborn?”

Although Luo Yuebai had a faint feeling that Su Jingzhen was the one who created that pill fragrance that night, he didn’t think Su Jingzhen’s combat abilities were that strong.

When Su Jingzhen received Luo Yuebai’s message, he turned around and smiled calmly, his eyes still serene.

Luo Yuebai was stunned again.

He keenly sensed that Su Jingzhen had undergone some kind of change, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

His gaze shifted to Shuang Jiang beside him.

He wanted Shuang Jiang to persuade Su Jingzhen.

However, he discovered that Shuang Jiang’s expression was even calmer than Su Jingzhen’s.

This couple…

Luo Yuebai’s eyebrows furrowed again.

At this time, he fanned himself with his folding fan and quietly caught a small insect from the air.

It was clear that he had received another message.

There was a hint of urgency in the depths of his eyes.

But what dominated his heart was curiosity.

The calmness displayed by the Su Jingzhen couple was too bizarre.

He had some doubts about his previous judgment.

He was very curious about what surprise Su Jingzhen could bring him at this moment.

However, at this time, Luo Yuebai still took a quiet step forward.

His folding fan was already closed, as if ready to strike at any moment.

On the other side, Chen Jinshi was stunned for a moment before a smile curved up at the corner of his mouth.

“Alright then.”

“If Brother Su wants to challenge me, then the previous agreement still stands.”

The excitement in his heart made Chen Jinshi’s words sound a bit urgent.

After speaking, Chen Jinshi’s gaze turned to Cao Qing beside him: “Master Cao, isn’t that right?”

Cao Qing naturally knew what Chen Jinshi meant and smiled as he nodded: “Since I entrusted the matter of the ceremony to you, you have the authority to make your own decisions.”

This was the greatest empowerment.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshi couldn’t wait to wave his hand at the Huayang Sect disciples.

The dozen or so late-stage Qi Refining disciples standing around the Spirit Awakening Tower immediately stepped forward.

They drove the surrounding crowd back a hundred feet, as if clearing the battlefield for the two of them.

This was also Chen Jinshi taking the initiative.

Just a moment ago, Su Jingzhen had only asked a question and hadn’t explicitly said he wanted to challenge Chen Jinshi.

But after the area was cleared, Su Jingzhen was left with no choice.

Chen Jinshi’s heart was filled with wild joy.

Just a moment ago, he was thinking about how to find an excuse to get rid of Su Jingzhen, and how to create an opportunity to do so without anyone being able to say anything.

Who could have thought that Su Jingzhen would deliver himself to his doorstep?

Although he also knew that killing Su Jingzhen at this time would inevitably affect his reputation.

At the very least, he would be known for bullying the weak, but it didn’t matter anymore.

In any case, Su Jingzhen had to die.

“Brother Su, the stage is set, you can begin.”

“As the host, I should let you take the first move.”

Chen Jinshi looked at Su Jingzhen, his words filled with contempt.

When he heard this, Su Jingzhen still wore a warm smile: “Of course, we will have a battle.”

“But before that, I have a condition.”

Chen Jinshi’s eyebrows furrowed.

This was getting more and more troublesome.

But thinking that Su Jingzhen would soon be a dead man, he laughed and said: “Brother Su, please go ahead and say it.”

Su Jingzhen pointed to the nine children, including Ning Yao, standing in the distance.

“It’s very simple: before we fight, let them awaken their spiritual roots!”

“Is that all?”

“That’s all!”

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s determined answer, Chen Jinshi laughed again.

“Brother Su, you really haven’t forgotten your original intention, but this is just a small matter!”

“I’ll satisfy your request!”

To Chen Jinshi, all his attacks on Su Jingzhen were just to get him killed.

Those children were indeed innocent.

And as long as he agreed to this condition, Su Jingzhen would have no reason to back down from the challenge.

Whether those children could awaken their spiritual roots and what kind of spiritual roots they would awaken has nothing to do with Su Jingzhen.

Chen Jinshi immediately gave a signal to a late-stage Qi Refining disciple of Huayang Sect in the distance.

The disciple understood and brought Ning Yao and the other eight children to the entrance of the Spirit Awakening Tower.

They were then arranged to enter the Spirit Awakening Tower and begin their spiritual awakening.

“Heh heh, exchanging nine children’s spiritual awakening opportunity for a life, isn’t the price a bit too high?”

“Indeed, all of this is just an excuse to target that guy, and the spirit stones need to be slowly recovered, but it’s a good excuse to deceive the ghosts.”

“……”

Many outsiders who saw this scene couldn’t help but laugh.

Looking at Su Jingzhe’s eyes, they were filled with a little pity.

They really couldn’t imagine how a Qi Refining beginner could defeat a Qi Refining grandmaster.

If it wasn’t true foolishness, then it was truly admirable courage.

“Daoist Shuang, are you not worried?”

Luo Yuebai finally couldn’t resist asking, driven by curiosity.

Shuang Jiang’s mouth seemed to curve up into an arc.

“It doesn’t matter, someone will take action.”
