The Supreme Lord Donghuang
The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 217: Luo Family

“Luo family.”

After leaving the shop, Zhou Donghuang unraveled the map in his hand and glanced at the general location of where the Luo family home was. It was extremely far away from his current location within the Yunke City.

Furthermore, there was a galaxy teleporter near the Luo family home, and it was labeled as the Tianshui Empire.

“From Yunke City’s galaxy teleporter to the Tianshui Empire… I can then head for the Luo family home. This is probably the fastest way.”

Zhou Donghuang mused to himself and made his plans.

“Ah?”

Once he had floated to the skies towards the outskirts of Yunke City, Zhou Donghuang’s face changed from a serene expression to having his brows furrowed for a while before he calmed down again.

After he had flown out of Yunke City, Zhou Donghuang traveled towards the galaxy teleporter with the sign labeled, “Yunke City.”

At the start, when he had first arrived at the Tianxuan planet, he had not known where the different galaxy teleporters and their symbols were. When he was teleporting, he had simply recited the lines “Luohe galaxy” and “Tianxuan planet” instead of uttering all three specificities.

In a situation like this, the galaxy teleporter would randomly send him to any of the available other galaxy teleporters within the Luohe galaxy.

Zhou Donghuang had coincidentally been sent to the galaxy teleporter that was near to Yunke City.

After he had flown half his intended distance, Zhou Donghuang halted his movements.

At the same time, two swift figures suddenly flew up from behind and almost instantly appeared in front of Zhou Donghuang, effectively blocking his path.

“Brother Donghuang, we meet again.”

Out of the two figures who were blocking the path of Zhou Donghuang, one was the middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes, Chen Aotian, who had previously helped Zhou Donghuang cheerily in giving directions to Yunke City.

At that point, Chen Aotian had sent Zhou Donghuang to the city’s big shop, and Zhou Donghuang had even prepared ten mid-quality spirit stones as thanks for the guidance. However, Chen Aotian had rejected the offer then.

As for the other figure, he was an old man dressed in blue. This man was tall and strong-looking, making him significantly different from the likes of Chen Aotian. He glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a fiery expression and a greedy look in his eyes.

A golden halo surrounded this old man’s body and this was his golden inner Yuan. It was clear that he was a Golden Essence adept who had entered the ultimate Primal Core stage.

“Mm.”

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head lightly and his face remained passive. His expression did not change at all.

“I’m sorry, Brother Donghuang.”

Chen Aotian licked his dry lips as his eyes shone with unsatisfied greed and desire. “Through experiences, have you not learned that it is unwise to travel alone?

“And if you must, are you not aware that one should not flaunt one’s wealth so easily?”

As Chen Aotian spoke, his motives for appearing in front of Zhou Donghuang could be clearly inferred immediately. He was here to fight Zhou Donghuang and rob him of his wealth!

After all, at the young age of twenty years old, Zhou Donghuang was already a late Primal Core adept. It was clear that there was probably an extremely strong and respectable force behind him and it could even be a Primordial Soul adept.

With the discovery of such a man, he must have a shocking amount of wealth in his possession. Even a normal Dharma adept would possibly have lesser amassed wealth as compared to him!

To Chen Aotian, this meeting with such a wealthy man was too tempting.

As he considered the fact that Zhou Donghuang may have a powerful force backing him up, Chen Aotian had no intention to allow him to live after he was done with the robbery.

He had to make all traces of Zhou Donghuang vanish!

If not, it was possible that there would be terrible consequences that Chen Aotian was not prepared to face.

“No wonder you rejected the token spirit stones I offered you at the sop. I guess that was too little for your liking.” Zhou Donghuang had a sudden realization.

“My goodness, why are you still chattering away with him? We are wasting time! Let me, as your father, take the first step to kill him and obtain his space ring!”

The old man dressed in blue suddenly exploded with a blinding flash of light, and the golden inner Yuan halo around him exploded as well. At the same time, a gleaming, lean knife appeared in his hand as well.

Once this knife was brandished, his inner Yuan was funneled into it, and its aura expanded by a significant amount.

“An ultimate spirit weapon?”

Zhou Donghuang furrowed his brows.

“Die!”

The old man yelled out brashly, and his entire being flew across the sky at an astonishing speed like a golden ball of fire. He brought with him the knife, which left trails of golden flames, and rushed towards Zhou Donghuang.

Although the old man could tell through the silver halo around Zhou Donghuang that he had to be only a Silver Essence adept, he did not let down his guard just yet.

He would do his utmost best, even when handling a minor issue.

This old man was careful and would not allow himself to make mistakes due to overconfidence.

Although the opposing party was just a Silver Essence adept, he did not hold back and attacked with all his might. The old man wanted to kill Zhou Donghuang with one blow!

“I wonder just how much wealth he is holding on to…” Chen Aotian commented casually as he watched this scene. The gaze he gave Zhou Donghuang was filled with evil intent, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a malicious, beaming smile.

However, in the next instant, his smile was suddenly frozen.

His eyes bulged out comically as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.

“How… How is this possible?”

Previously, Chen Aotian had already prepared for the scenario where Zhou Donghuang would be killed with a single blow from his father. However, instead of that happening, the scene that took place before him nearly caused him to have a heart attack.

The young man dressed in white was standing firmly on the ground, where he had not moved from.

At this very moment, the silver inner Yuan surrounding the young man had disappeared. In its place, there was a vast and unmatched halo of golden inner Yuan. From far, it looked as if there were golden flames burning around him.

Zhou Donghuang reached out his right hand steadily, and a heavenly spirit weapon, a knife, landed in his palm.

Seeing a Golden Essence adept attack fully with an ultimate spirit weapon was like watching a child pretend to enact martial arts to Zhou Donghuang, and it did not pose any threat to him at all.

“Wait… isn’t he a Silver Essence adept? How could he be a Golden Essence adept!? What is happening? This is impossible! It’s impossible!

“Furthermore, even if he were to be a Golden Essence adept, how could he intercept the ultimate spirit weapon that my father used all his strength to throw? Now, with his inner Yuan embedded within it, the ultimate spirit weapon’s power has been doubled!

“What situation is this? Did Father hold back? That’s not right either… It’s not like Father has no experience in killing other Silver Essence adepts.

“Even when facing Silver Essence adepts, he also uses all his strength to kill them within seconds!”

Chen Aotian’s facial expression changed dramatically, and thoughts swarmed in his mind. His heart beat rapidly as he grew worried and confused.

He was completely unable to comprehend the scene before him!

Wham!

Boom!

Two consecutive sounds rang out, and they were both so explosive that Chen Aotian’s eyeballs nearly popped out of his head.

This was the explosion of the golden inner Yuan in Zhou Donghuang’s right hand. He casually snatched the old man’s ultimate spirit weapon, the lean knife, and threw it back, sending the old man’s brain into the sky as it was whipped out of his skull.

Fresh blood floated in the air like several roses that had just bloomed, and the scene was almost mesmerizing.

The old man’s brain floated for a short distance in the air before it came hurdling down. That bloody face was full of shock and hatred as it stared out with a gaze of confusion and utmost shock.

Perhaps, up till the moment he had died, the old man still had not comprehended how a Silver Essence adept could explode with the inner Yuan of a Golden Essence adept out of the blue.

Furthermore, why was that inner Yuan able to easily overcome the added inner Yuan he had given to the ultimate spirit weapon?

“Father…”

Seeing this, Chen Aotian let out a cry of anguish and hatred. He glanced murderously at the young man, unable to believe his father had just died.

Whoosh!

As if a wind had just blown by and killed the young man, obtaining his space ring, Zhou Donghuang appeared like a bolt of golden lightning right in front of Chen Aotian’s eyes.

Chen Aotian felt like he had just fought a tough battle and had only just regained his senses. Seeing the young man standing in front of him with a neutral expression, he directly knelt and begged.

“Brother Donghuang, I know my mistakes now. I was wrong!

“Please, show some mercy and let me go. Please let me live!”

Chen Aotian was fully panicking at this moment.

Chen Aotian’s skills and power were greater than those of his father. It could even be expected that he would enter the Dharma stage in 100 years, and at that point, he would be able to extend his life for another 500 years. The him now was not even 100 yet!

He still had about 500 more years to live, and he did not want to let that go so easily at this point.

However, Zhou Donghuang’s reply to Chen Aotian’s begging was a casual slap with his palm.

Boom!

The golden palm, which was as big as a mountain, smashed down heavily. Chen Aotian did not even have any time to react before his entire body was smashed in a loud explosion and became a stream of blood.

All that was left was a space ring that floated down singularly in the air and was caught by Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang felt as if he was experiencing a scene of deja vu.

Over the thousand years of his past life, he had experienced too many similar scenes.

One misstep could lead to endless consequences!

A martial arts adept could easily die at any point.

Ah!

After killing the duo, Zhou Donghuang did not waste time trying to keep his golden inner Yuan and quickly hurried on his way towards the nearest galaxy teleporter.

He then used the galaxy teleporter to transport himself to the Tianshui Empire, which was near where the Luo family home was.

The galaxy teleporter of the Tianshui Empire was outside its capital. Once Zhou Donghuang had landed, he took another glance at his map before flying towards the opposite direction he had previously arrived from.

The Luo family lived on one side of the Tianshui Empire’s capital, and their home took up an entire patch of mountains. This entire piece of land belonged to the Luo family, and he could not simply trespass as he wished.

The Luo family mansion was surrounded by the mountains, just like how the stars and moon surround Earth. Flowers bloomed around it, and the entire area was tranquil and peaceful like a dystopian paradise.

At this very moment, in the sturdy and elegant living room of the Luo family home, the head of the family, Luo Wuchen, was staring at the young man before him with surprise and confusion in his eyes. “Are you Miss Qinghan’s friend?”

The young man before him was dressed in pure white and looked polite and graceful. He gave off a polished aura and did not look like any ordinary man.

Well, at least to Luo Wuchen, even the most outstanding of young men out of the top great sects in the Tianxuan Empire, based on appearance and aura alone, could not compete with the young man in white before him.

“I am Zhou Donghuang, and I’m pleased to meet you, my father-in-law!”

Zhou Donghuang bowed courteously to Luo Wuchen.

He knew at least to demonstrate some proper manners.

Of course, he also bowed due to the fact that the person before him was Luo Qinghan’s father. If not, even if the person was of the Heavenly stage, he would not do such a degrading thing.

“What… what did you call me!?”

Luo Wuchen’s eyes grew wide, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

After he had regained his composure, this shock turned to anger, and a murderous look appeared on his face. A giant sword Dharma about three feet tall appeared before him, and this sword spat out a dangerous and menacing aura towards Zhou Donghuang.

How could this audacious young man carelessly address him with such terms?

When did his daughter marry a man like that?
