The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Su Jingzhen marveled as he watched the still-active Purple Void Barrier.

“Put this thing away. It might just save your life in a critical moment.

This thing should be compatible with the Purple Void Sword.

There have been rumors that when the Zhou family first rose to prominence, they received the inheritance of a powerful figure.

Perhaps both the Purple Void Sword and this Purple Void Barrier were obtained from that very inheritance.

Of all the treasures the Zhou family has displayed, this Purple Void Barrier is likely the most valuable.”

Shen Yifeng glanced over and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate.

He stood beneath the formation disk, letting the power of his blood energy surge through his body before channeling it into the disk.

The method that Zhou Li had told them was indeed flawless.

Once the purple light on the formation disk reached its peak brilliance, it instantly shattered into forty-nine pieces!

The Purple Void Barrier vanished in an instant, and the area that had been covered by the barrier, spanning three hundred meters, now looked identical to its surroundings.

Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness scanned the fragments of the formation disk, and he instantly grasped their arrangement.

His eyes gleamed with excitement.

In the next moment, he flung the forty-nine fragments into the air, assembling them according to the unique symbols on them.

In the blink of an eye, the formation disk, resembling a Eight Trigrams, was reassembled. A purple energy barrier suddenly emerged from it.

There was absolutely no difficulty in operating this thing.

“The Zhou family is truly a remarkable clan. Zhou Li is such a nice man.”

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh once more.

He then stored the Purple Void Barrier’s formation disk into his storage ring and swept his gaze around.

The forces caught in Su Jingzhen’s gaze all quietly shifted their eyes elsewhere.

They dared not meet his gaze.

As Su Jingzhen’s eyes slowly settled on Zou Zeyu, the latter responded with a warm smile once again, even offering a silent round of applause.

It was as if Zou Zeyu genuinely appreciated the earlier display by Su Jingzhen and his group.

Su Jingzhen returned a faint smile but said nothing more.

He knew that his earlier performance had already intimidated most of the forces present.

Naturally, Su Jingzhen’s own reputation had been thoroughly established in this battle.

However, the most impactful moment was still Shen Yifeng’s earlier strike that had obliterated Zhou Tong.

With just that one sword strike, every top-tier force in the Qingzhou region would no longer dare to underestimate the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

They would no longer view them as merely a subordinate branch.

At that moment, two streaks of light rapidly approached from the direction of the Alchemist Association.

It was none other than Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu.

Even now, Ye Zhiqiu had not chosen to stand with the members of the Alchemist Association.

The two women looked at Su Jingzhen, their eyes filled with admiration, the awe still evident on their faces.

Before Su Jingzhen could say anything, golden characters suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[Emotional Connection +6]

[Emotional Connection +6]

[Emotional Connection +6]

[…]

All of them were accumulations of empathy points.

Since the battle with the Zhou family began, Xuening had triggered nine emotional connections.

[Remaining Available Points: 545]

While the continuous nine-point increases excited Su Jingzhen, there was also a hint of regret.

Currently, his empathy level with Xuening was only at the third tier, “Mutual Appreciation,” and the cultivation bonus she provided was merely doubled.

If Xuening’s cultivation level could rise further, and if their empathy level could advance to the next tier…

He could have earned a considerable amount of points.

“What a shame…”

Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly.

But then he smiled at the two women and said, “As I told you before, there’s no need to worry. With the Zhou family’s capabilities, they’re far from being able to kill me.”

His tone was calm, yet his words felt undeniably true.

Xuening smiled, “Brother Su, don’t you think it’s time to change your clothes?”

Instinctively, Su Jingzhen looked down at himself, and a trace of embarrassment crossed his face.

His clothes were still stained with the red and white remnants of his enemies, giving him a gruesome appearance.

During the battle, this bloody image had fueled his killing intent, but now that his mind had settled, he found it utterly repulsive.

“My apologies!”

Su Jingzhen felt it inappropriate to appear before Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu in such a filthy and bloody state.

After apologizing, he quickly channeled his blood energy, shaking off the gore from his body.

Then, right in front of everyone, he changed into a clean set of clothes.

After tidying up his appearance, he once again looked like a refined and elegant gentleman.

Shen Yifeng, meanwhile, returned to stand quietly behind the trio, having sheathed his Killing Sword. He stood there silently, like the most loyal of guards.

Su Jingzhen and his group did not bother to question anyone, nor did they care about the scrutinizing gazes directed at them.

It was as if the intense battle with the Zhou family had never happened.

Only the headless corpses of the Zhou family members remained as a grim testament to the earlier carnage.

Ouyang Mingyue, watching the four of them from a distance, had a complicated expression on his face.

He then stepped onto his purple cauldron and ascended into the sky.

“The feud between the Zhou family and the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect was a personal matter.

As cultivators, we repay our debts and seek revenge when necessary.

Now that their grievances have been settled, this interlude can be considered over.

Let’s return to our previous discussion and focus our attention on this gray mist.

All Nascent Soul and above cultivators, step forward. Let us combine our strength to eliminate this chaotic energy barrier.”

“As for the opportunities and fortunes that may lie within the ruins of the Dantai Family, let them be discovered by those who are destined to find them.

All treasures shall belong to those who have the fate to obtain them,”

Ouyang Mingyue’s words redirected everyone’s attention back to the gray mist barrier.

No one had any objections to Ouyang Mingyue’s statement.

After witnessing the Zhou family’s downfall, even those who still harbored hopes for Xuening dared not step forward.

All the cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, including those at the Soul Formation stage, took a step forward, positioning themselves near the gray mist barrier.

They were all prepared to follow Ouyang Mingyue’s coordinated plan.

What surprised Su Jingzhen was that both Zou Zeyu and Tuoba Junlin were among those who stepped forward as well.

“No wonder these two are so arrogant. It turns out they have the strength to back it up.

I just wonder how far they’ve progressed within the Nascent Soul stage,” Su Jingzhen mused.
