Chapter 473 I Cant Help It

Zhenbei City, Tianji Platform.

Ma Shuo looked at the direction of the secret chamber with a rosy complexion. King Zhenbei had been inside for a long time. According to time calculations, if all went well, King Zhenbei should have already advanced to the Void Realm by now. He only needed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation after coming out to become the first expert to enter the Void Realm in nearly a thousand years!

An expert who could change the landscape of the Xuanhuang Continent!

Ma Shuo was more nervous than if he were advancing to the Void Realm himself. Usually calm, he couldn’t help but pace in front of the secret chamber.

Just then, a servant’s voice suddenly came from outside the door: “Military Advisor Ma, General Fang Wei has arrived!”

“Let General Fang in!” Ma Shuo said in a deep voice.

Immediately after, Fang Wei walked in from outside the door, then knelt on one knee: “Reporting to the Military Advisor, the matter you entrusted to me has been botched!”

“What?” Ma Shuo frowned slightly, an inexplicable sense of unease rising in his heart: “Tell me what happened!”

Fang Wei dared not delay: “According to your instructions, we went to Chen Fei’s residence to apprehend him, but it was already empty. We then proceeded to the Golden Exchange Tower, only to find that it had also been cleared out, and we even discovered traces of demon people.”

Fang Wei paused noticeably, but Ma Shuo said with a dissatisfied expression: “And then? Jin Buhuan is also a figure in Zhenbei City; you couldn’t have lost even him, could you?”

Fang Wei said awkwardly: “I have ordered a city-wide search, but there is still no news of them.”

Ma Shuo frowned tightly, then let out a soft sigh: “Never mind, have them continue the search. Also, for now, ignore those demon people. Go!”

Fang Wei was somewhat confused. He had come this time to ask how to deal with those demon people, but who would have thought Ma Shuo would say to ignore them! However, he dared not argue and quickly left.

Ma Shuo’s face showed a hint of worry. He subconsciously moved his fingers to calculate, but then his expression changed drastically. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

His eyes were filled with horror, his mouth slightly agape, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

In his recent calculation, he saw a scene of blood, which was definitely not a good omen! Could it be that something had happened to King Zhenbei?

Inside a civilian residence in Zhenbei City.

Jin Buhuan had shed his luxurious clothes, and the iconic golden Storage Ring on his hand was also gone, making him look like an ordinary wealthy old man.

“Ji Miss, the conditions are simple, I hope you don’t mind!” Jin Buhuan walked up to Ji Wugou with a smile and bowed.

At this moment, Ji Wugou seemed like a completely different person.

Her old Magical Artifact pouch had been replaced with a new one, and her strength had also recovered, giving her the ability to protect herself.

As for where this Magical Artifact pouch came from, one could tell from Jin Buhuan’s demeanor.

However, Ji Wugou was not in the mood to listen to his idle chatter. She rested her chin on one hand and looked out the window: “Did the Zhenbei Army suddenly turn hostile because something happened to Chen Fei?”

Jin Buhuan quietly raised his head to glance at Ji Wugou’s expression, then smiled and said: “Ji Miss, things always have two sides. Perhaps Chen Fei is not in trouble at all; instead, he has made them wary, and that’s why they resorted to this desperate measure. It’s not impossible!”

Ji Wugou nodded. Although somewhat reluctant, she still said: “Have the things I gave you been sent out?”

“They have already been sent!” Jin Buhuan said quickly.

Ji Wugou nodded: “I want to be alone for a while!”

Jin Buhuan didn’t hesitate, walking directly to the door: “Ji Miss, I’ve had the servants prepare meals. Just let me know whenever you want to eat! I’ll be next door!”

“Alright! Thank you, Boss Jin!” Ji Wugou nodded listlessly, looking at the lamp in front of her, her mind filled with Chen Fei’s image.

After Jin Buhuan left the room, he seemed like a different person, his eyes filled with Killing Intent: “You are all old-timers who have followed me, and you know the rules. After tonight, it’s either great wealth and status or death. All of you, think carefully!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the many Cultivators in front of Jin Buhuan immediately felt their hearts tighten.

“Don’t worry, my Golden Exchange Tower has nothing else but plenty of Magical Artifacts! My only request is this: do not expose Ji Miss’s existence. If something happens to her, let alone you, even your Family, including my Golden Exchange Tower, could be annihilated!” Jin Buhuan’s sharp gaze swept over everyone, then he snorted lightly and said: “That’s all I have to say. The rest you can figure out for yourselves!”

Meanwhile, the Old Man from the Ji family, who had been staying near the Ghost King Palace, suddenly received a message.

The location of the message was surprisingly in the Northern Wilderness, yet they were overjoyed!

“Young Miss! We finally have news of you! It’s great that you’re alright!”

“Quick! We must rush over immediately! Since Young Miss sent a message, she must be in danger! Northern Wilderness, let me think, right, find someone from the Northern Tower and have them rush over as quickly as possible!”

“Right! No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch our Young Miss is courting death!”

As the words fell, the two Heavenly Dao Realm Cultivators did not hesitate in the slightest, even using the power of Dao meaning, to swiftly head towards the Northern Wilderness, only wishing to reach the message location as quickly as possible to protect Ji Wugou.

The sooner they saw Ji Wugou, the sooner they could rest assured.

Within the Demon God Mystic Realm.

Chen Fei stumbled out of the main hall in a rather disheveled state, and Du Tian was with him.

However, Du Tian ultimately paid the price for his greed.

The myriad-character Seal was also imprinted on his back!

“Finally escaped! Boy, you truly are blessed with Luck; you didn’t even die from that!” Du Tian finished speaking, looking at Chen Fei with greedy eyes.

Chen Fei glanced at him: “What? Planning to make a move on me? Don’t forget we just signed a contract!”

“So what if we signed a contract? Don’t forget the huge power gap between us! Boy, now it’s just the two of us left; that little vixen probably won’t have the energy to come cause trouble!” Du Tian said sinisterly: “This also teaches you a lesson: don’t trust anyone stronger than you!”

“Of course, this lesson is useless to you anyway!” Du Tian sneered, then a thick Black Sky Divine Mist emerged from his body and enveloped Chen Fei.

Chen Fei, however, looked at him calmly: “I never trusted you from the beginning!”

Chen Fei was also feeling a bit lacking in confidence at this moment.

Originally, Chen Fei had the Void Sky Cauldron, so even if Du Tian tried something sneaky, he would only outsmart himself! But now, the Void Sky Cauldron was still being scorched by the Extinguishing Divine Fire, and Chen Fei didn’t know if it could still be effective.

Du Tian sneered: “Boy, I know there’s something strange about you, but I’m not like them. I just need you dead, that’s enough! At worst, I’ll just stay in this broken Secret Realm. Now that the Seal is gone, is it hard to catch a few blood sacrifices?”

As his voice fell, the Black Sky Divine Mist around Du Tian churned, then transformed into a hand and slapped towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei’s eyes turned cold: “I knew you’d do this! Come here!”
