The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 314: Lying in Wait

The Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy.

A galaxy teleporter was situated near the Thunder Knife Sect, and this was the designated teleporter for the sect.

Near the galaxy teleporter, there was an old and wrinkled man sitting cross-legged on the floor. His eyes were shut tightly, although one was unclear as to whether he was training or meditating.

Behind the old man, a middle-aged man and teenage boy were present as well. One of them was sleeping soundly, while the other was closely observing the galaxy teleporter before him. He only blinked once in a while, as if he was afraid to miss something.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the galaxy teleporter produced a figure out nowhere like a sudden gust of wind.

The figure was a handsome young man wearing pure white clothes. On the young man’s shoulder was a black puppy, and this black puppy looked like a typical stray black dog on the streets. However, if one observed this dog carefully, one would realize that this dog had a single horn on its forehead, and it looked extraordinary.

“Zhou Donghuang!”

The teenage boy who was keenly staring at the galaxy teleporter instantly narrowed his eyes as the white-clothed man appeared. He turned to the old man, who was still sitting cross-legged on the floor. With an urgent tone, he yelled, “Sir Wu Qian, it’s Zhou Donghuang!”

“Hm?”

Zhou Donghuang, who had just passed through the galaxy teleporter and arrived at his destination, sensed someone watching him from afar, and he looked in this figure’s direction. As he turned, he immediately heard the owner of the voice yell out, catching his attention. Zhou Donghuang began to sense that something was not right, and his face changed slightly.

Within the next instant, his entire body shook and shot into the sky like a white bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the old man who was still sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes shut now opened his eyes. He was also holding on to a piece of jade.

Boom!

Crash!

...

Not far away, the galaxy teleporter that was originally working was instantly enveloped by a frighteningly strong force. It was fried to dust and ashes that filled the entire sky, being reduced to almost nothing. There was almost no trace left of the once huge and towering galaxy teleporter.

“That is Zhou Donghuang?” the old man glanced steely at the white figure in the distance and asked in a low voice.

“Sir Wu Qian, that’s him!” the teenage boy behind the old man replied in affirmation.

As for the middle-aged man, who had at some point opened his eyes, he spoke up as well.

“Sir Wu Qian, he is the disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect’s Autumn Valley, Zhou Donghuang.”

“They...”

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang, who was not far away, could sense that the two figures behind the old man were familiar. After thinking carefully, he somewhat recalled meeting them before in the Lightning Sword Sect. Now that he had heard the middle-aged man speak, he knew he had not made a wrong guess. The two figures had to be people of the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Who are you?”

Zhou Donghuang glanced steely at the old man. He was suspicious of the three figures, which included two people of the Lightning Sword Sect, who had been lying in wait for him here.

“I am Wu Qian, a servant of the Qi Dynasty.”

The old man looked passively at Zhou Donghuang as if he were staring at a dead man.

“If you could get me, Wu Qian, to lie in wait here for almost a month for you to appear, even if you die today, then that is already considered an honor.”

Seconds after he had spoken, a towering Primordial Soul Power appeared behind Wu Qian, looking like a giant. This Primordial Soul Power towered above Zhou Donghuang.

“Ultimate Primordial Soul stage?”

Faced with the emergence of this Primordial Soul Power, which demonstrated that Wu Qian was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, Zhou Donghuang appeared indifferent. His gaze turned to the two figures standing behind the old man. “Are you both disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect? Why are you both here? Did something happen to the Lightning Sword Sect?”

“Let me answer that.” Before the two disciples could speak, Wu Qian had already spoken up coldly.

“The Lightning Sword Sect was exterminated a month ago by the Qi Dynasty. These two disciples are here because they were kept alive by the Qi Dynasty for them to help us identify you.

“Now, they have already helped me to identify that you are Zhou Donghuang. They are of no use to me now, and it is time for them to join the rest of the deceased members of the Lightning Sword Sect.”

Once the old man had spoken, the two figures behind him both turned pale. “Sir Wu Qian, did you not promise that if we helped you identify Zhou Donghuang that you would spare our lives?”

“Sir Wu Qian, you... you cannot go back on your word!”

Just as the two figures were begging for their lives, Wu Qian had already taken action, and the giant Primordial Soul Power trapped the two like animals in a cage. With great force, it clammed down on the two, and before their reflexes could kick in, it smashed them dead!

Zhou Donghuang was nearby, and he watched this solemnly.

Faced with the death of the two betrayers, he had no sympathy for them at all.

Now, his face no longer had on his usual peaceful expression. It was dark, and his eyes glittered with rage and murderous intent... In the end, his troubling guess had been right.

The Lightning Sword Sect really had met with trouble.

Indeed, it had been the Qi Dynasty, one of the Hengliu galaxy’s two Transcendental Forces, that had caused harm to the Lightning Sword Sect!

“Zhou Donghuang, thank you for choosing to appear at this galaxy teleporter near the Lightning Sword Sect... Your life is worth as much as a Divine Transformation drug! After this, if I manage to enter the Divine Transformation stage after consuming a Divine Transformation drug, I’ll really have to thank you for it.”

Wu Qian once again glanced at Zhou Donghuang, and this time, he smiled evilly and made his Primordial Soul Power step forward. Its giant fist reached out for Zhou Donghuang.

After hearing this, it was clear that Emperor Qi had offered up the reward of a Divine Transformation drug in return for Zhou Donghuang’s head.

Divine Transformation drugs could help those who were close to crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage successfully close the gap. It was extremely precious, and even the entire Qi Dynasty only had less than five of such drugs. The fact that the Qi Dynasty was willing to use one of these five drugs as a reward for finding Zhou Donghuang meant that they greatly prioritized this matter.

“Roar!”

At almost the same time Wu Qian’s Primordial Soul Power reached out to attack Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang’s body also materialized a giant Primordial Soul Power behind him. This was a white tiger, and it let out a roar that shook the land and skies. This terrifying sound washed over everyone and caused waves of vibrations that forced Wu Qian’s Primordial Soul Power to retreat a little.

“How can this be!?”

Once Zhou Donghuang’s Primordial Soul Power appeared, it scared Wu Qian till his nostrils flared and his facial expression changed. “You... How can you be an ultimate Primordial Soul adept too!?”

“Nothing is impossible,” Zhou Donghuang replied impassively.

At the same time, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action and rushed towards Wu Qian’s Primordial Soul Power. Wu Qian’s Primordial Soul Power was unable to defend itself or back away, and the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power managed to scratch at it. Within an instant, as if a giant cage had landed and trapped Wu Qian’s Primordial Soul Power, it was broken and greatly damaged.

“Wah...!”

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wu Qian’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper. His eyes and facial expression were full of shock.

“How can this be? As an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, how could you have such great powers?”

“Like I said... Nothing is impossible.”

Zhou Donghuang spoke again, and his voice rang out like a gong. Within an instant, under his command, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action again.

“Zhou Donghuang, spare my life! If you do so, I’m willing to become your most humble servant!”

By now, Wu Qian was badly injured, and he was unable to resist Zhou Donghuang’s further attacks. Although he was doubtful, he still chose to bow down. His body trembled visibly as he spoke these beseeching words to Zhou Donghuang.

However, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power’s attack did not seem to stop.

The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power reached out a claw and hit Wu Qian to the ground, where he was forced into a bed of soil and pushed underground.

Whoosh!

The black puppy on Zhou Donghuang’s shoulder shot forward and snatched up Wu Qian’s space ring like a hungry gold digger. Before it left, it even took a bite of Wu Qian’s corpse.

“Old fellow, with such looks, you want to act like a dog? You are an embarrassment to us, what an idiot!”

Afterwards, the black puppy returned to Zhou Donghuang’s shoulder, and he coyly passed the space ring that he had collected to Zhou Donghuang. “Boss, in any case, this old man was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept. The things he stored in the space ring are probably useful for you.

“As for the items that are worthless to you, I can eat them! You can give them to me!”

After saying these words, the black puppy salivated at the thought of food.

“You can hold on to it first,” Zhou Donghuang said. The black puppy excitedly put the space ring into the collar that was around its neck. More accurately, it was within an empty stone that was embedded onto the collar.

This collar had been handmade for the black puppy by Zhou Donghuang, and it was a manufactured spirit weapon. On the collar, he had attached two space stones which could be used as storage spaces for the puppy’s items.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang had left with the black puppy...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shadows appeared at the venue where the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect had been destroyed. If Zhou Donghuang were here, he would immediately recognize with a single glance that one of these two figures was no ordinary man. This was the Thunder Knife Sect Leader, Luo Yuanqiu.

However, Luo Yuanqiu now glanced at the corpse buried underground with chills running down his spine.

“Who could have taken action against him... I did not expect Wu Qian of the Qi Dynasty to die such a violent death!

“Could it be that the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, had taken action? After all, out of the three Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect, only he managed to survive... Furthermore, if someone were to be able to kill Wu Qian, an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, so easily before we arrived, he would have to at least be at the Divine Transformation stage!” the old man beside Luo Yuanqiu guessed aloud.

“That’s impossible!” Luo Yuanqiu shook his head.

“As far as I know, although He Jin did in fact manage to survive, he won’t stay alive for long... he was poisoned by a man from the Qi Dynasty, and now he is just waiting for his death!”

This man of the Qi Dynasty was a Divine Transformation adept who specialized in using poison. He had trained himself to attack using poison and could infect any adept at the Divine Transformation stage and below.

“If this was not He Jin’s doing, then who could it be?”

The old man’s eyes shone with suspicion and doubt.

“I’m not sure either.” Luo Yuanqiu smiled bitterly.

“However, since we have discovered that a servant of the Qi Dynasty has died here... Although it was not our doing, we had best inform the Qi Dynasty since it was us who discovered it... They can investigate this matter themselves.”

Previously, before this Qi Dynasty servant had arrived at the Thunder Knife Sect’s galaxy teleporter to lie in wait for Zhou Donghuang, he had first paid a visit to the Thunder Knife Sect to greet the Thunder Knife Sect Leader. He had requested for the Sect Leader to accompany him on his mission. At that point, Luo Yuanqiu did not disagree as he was deeply fearful of offending the Qi Dynasty.
