A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

Chapter 23: Killing Wang Hu, a Bountiful Harvest

"Who?"

Just now.

Wang Hu suddenly felt a strange movement under his feet.

Because the space under the table was too small, the two were immediately exposed.

"Let's do it!"

The girl gave a low shout.

He charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, a short blade infused with spiritual energy in his hand, aimed straight at Wang Hu's brow.

"Who goes there!"

Wang Hu, now completely sober, let out a sharp shout.

"Thunderous Tiger Claw!"

Crackling sounds!

The entire room was engulfed in a violent storm of lightning.

Wang Hu hastily channeled his energy, managing to mobilize only 70-80% of his spiritual power before his hands were covered in lightning, which he then unleashed towards the girl.

The girl was probably at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, and was no match for Wang Hu at all.

Wang Hu's power at the ninth level of Qi Refining was on full display at this moment.

The girl was blasted away by the violent lightning, her back slamming against the wall before she fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

"Get moving! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

The girl let out a delicate shout, completely disregarding her injuries, and rolled over to pounce on him again.

It was only then that Wang Hu noticed there was another person under the table.

"You think you can kill me with this little strength?"

After a brief exchange, Wang Hu saw through his opponent's strength and his arrogance surged up once again.

The alcohol made him feel hot all over, and lightning crackled in his palms.

"Over here! Quickly!"

The voices of the law enforcement team could be heard from outside the door.

"The enforcement team is here, let's go!"

The girl's voice was noticeably more panicked, and the dagger in her hand poured out like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

She was extremely skilled, a rare expert even in the secular world, but Wang Hu's lightning power defense was too thick for her to break through.

"Oh~!"

Wang Hu looked at the girl and suddenly realized what was going on.

"You're that girl from the Qin family who escaped, right? I didn't expect you to come to the Blissful Sect as well."

"Wang Hu, you scoundrel!"

The girl's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"You killed my entire family, insulted my mother and sisters! I swear I will not rest until I kill you!!"

"Haha! It really is you! I heard your name is Qin Shuang, is that right?"

Wang Hu grinned maliciously, standing firmly in place.

"You were only twelve years old when I killed your whole family, weren't you? You've grown up so much in the blink of an eye."

"Do you know how much pleasure I gave your mother, your sister, and your younger sister back then? Do you want to go down and join them? Now that I've mastered thunder magic, I can numb you from head to toe."

"I kill you!!!"

Qin Shuang rushed forward without regard for anything else.

Wang Hu grinned ferociously, lightning crackling from his hand. The Thunder Tiger Claw that had once killed Hua An was now fully charged with lightning again, and he slammed it down toward Qin Shuang's crown.

"So you're such a beast."

Cao Wang's voice came from the side.

He slowly raised his right hand, a yellowed talisman between his fingers.

Wang Hu's pupils constricted sharply: "You are...?"

He seemed to recognize Cao Wang.

but……

His response was a powerful and domineering bolt of lightning.

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck Wang Hu precisely in the chest, piercing through his protective lightning and his chest, leaving him charred and numb.

boom!

Half of the roof of the room was blown off, and the white light of lightning illuminated the entire night sky, like a thunderbolt from the heavens striking the outer disciples' courtyard.

In that instant, Cao Wang, with lightning speed, reached into the lightning with his left hand and snatched the bulging Qiankun bag from Wang Hu's waist.

"Walk!"

After succeeding, Cao Wang grabbed Qin Shuang's wrist, pulled her up from the ground, and leaped out of the side window.

As soon as the two landed, the gate in front of them was pushed open, and the law enforcement team entered the yard.

"Quick, over here!"

Cao Wang lowered his voice and was about to crawl into the bushes.

"Wait a moment."

The girl gasped in surprise.

"My concealment talisman... has failed!"

She was panting heavily; her brief exchange with Wang Hu had almost exhausted her spiritual energy.

Even so, in the face of the ineffective concealment talisman, it slowly leaked out wisps of spiritual energy.

Anyone with a higher cultivation level than her can immediately detect her presence.

Seeing this, Cao Wang pulled her into his arms.

"Stay close to me, don't move."

The moment Qin Shuang was pulled into his arms, the concealment talisman given to her by Shen Jingqiu simultaneously covered the aura of both of them.

The two huddled together, holding their breath, huddled in the shadows of the corner.

"Seal off the scene!"

"The spiritual energy compass is detecting an area within a kilometer radius! Don't let anyone escape!"

The enforcement team shouted, and the noise echoed throughout the courtyard.

Cao Wang, carrying Qin Shuang, hugged the corner of the wall, bypassed the area with the densest light, and silently climbed over the wall through the gaps in the law enforcement team's encirclement, quickly disappearing down the mountain path.

The concealment talisman suppressed their auras to the lowest possible level.

Several groups of law enforcement officers passed by them within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) of each other, their spiritual energy compasses circling around and around, but they found nothing.

In the darkness, Cao Wang carried her as they ran, the person in his arms like a small octopus, clinging tightly to his neck, her hot breath hitting his ear.

They stopped when they reached the foot of the mountain, leaned against an old tree, and gasped for breath.

"that."

Qin Shuang's voice came from Cao Wang's chest, tinged with a hint of shyness.

"Can you put me down now?"

"Your magical artifact... hurt me."

"..."

Cao Wang quickly released her and put her down, then coughed tactically.

"Go back, there will definitely be a big search later, and anyone who isn't in the yard will be a suspect."

Qin Shuang nodded. "Be careful too."

"Um."

Cao Wang turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Shuang called out to him from behind.

My name is Qin Shuang.

"..."

Cao Wang did not turn around.

"It's better not to know each other since it's our first meeting. Killing Wang Hu is of great importance. He has several clansmen in the inner sect. Not revealing our identities is the best protection for each other."

After Cao Wang finished speaking, he stepped into the night. The lingering effect of the concealment talisman erased his last trace of breath, and he disappeared into the darkness.

Cao Wang did not sleep that night.

Not long after he returned to his room, the enforcement team knocked on the gate.

All outer disciples were gathered in the courtyard for inspection.

Cao Wang removed the effect of the concealment talisman, rubbed his eyes, pretended to be woken up, and walked out, standing in the crowd yawning repeatedly.

The enforcement team's compass swept past him, circled around, but found nothing.

The investigation concluded, and everyone dispersed.

Cao Wang returned to his room, closed the door, took the Qiankun bag out of his pocket, and placed it on the table.

It was only then that he belatedly realized what was happening.

The Qiankun bag that he took from Wang Hu was hastily stuffed into the space inside the jade pendant.

To know.

The Qiankun Bag cannot store other Qiankun Bags.

In other words, one space cannot store another space.

This is a fundamental principle.

But now, the space inside the Pisces Jade Pendant has actually hidden the Qiankun Bag inside as well.

Its mysterious power surprised Cao Wang once again.

This is why Cao Wang wasn't found during the previous investigation.

Now that Cao Wang thinks about it, a chill runs down his spine.

They rashly took the Qiankun Bag without paying any attention to such details.

If it weren't for the jade pendant's function, he would probably have been arrested by now.

Wang Hu was dead, and Cao Wang easily erased the mark on his Qiankun Bag.

Splash!

Cao Wang emptied everything out of the room.

There were more than a dozen kinds of spirit stones, elixirs, and various rare and precious materials.
