Rebirth of the Urban Demon Lord

Chapter 63 Affection for an Older Woman

Chapter Sixty-Three: Affection for an Older Woman

Yan Xiao felt like crying. He not only failed to seize the treasure but also offended a powerful expert. Wasn't he just asking for death?

He wanted to escape, but after feeling Zhuo Yang's lock on, he felt that there was absolutely no way he could escape from Zhuo Yang's grasp.

With a wry smile, he pulled a folding fan from his lower back with a mournful expression.

"This is the Profound Yin Fire Fan that I bought from a cultivator some time ago. With a gentle wave of my true essence, the Yin Fire will rage and become extremely powerful." Yan Xiao was very reluctant to part with it and hesitated for a long time before throwing the fan to Zhuo Yang.

"Mysterious Yin Fire Fan?"

Zhuo Yang caught the folding fan, flicked his fingers to open it, and used his true energy to immediately erase the mark left by Yan Xiao. Then he waved the fan.

A dark, crimson flame suddenly shot into the sky, sweeping across a hundred meters and setting the woods at the end of the rocky beach ablaze.

With another wave of his fan, the distant mountain fire was instantly extinguished, leaving only wisps of smoke.

Yan Xiao was stunned. He swung his fan with all his might, but could only unleash a ten-meter-long stream of Yin Fire, which was only as thick as an arm. Zhuo Yang, on the other hand, simply swept the fan and a raging inferno ensued.

By comparing the two, one can immediately see whose cultivation level is higher.

Swallowing hard, Yan Xiao said obsequiously, "Brother Zhuo's cultivation is profound; the treasure should belong to you!"

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Zhuo Yang put away his fan, tucked it into his waistband, and then waved his hand.

Yan Xiao gave a wry smile, cupped his hands in greeting, and ran off quickly.

I didn't manage to snag the item, and I even lost out on something else – what a huge loss!

The cultivation world is a true jungle law; whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Zhuo Yang had long understood this principle and was used to it.

Most of the cultivators who were watching from a distance ran away. Everyone knew that even the president of the Lingzhou Cultivator Alliance had been robbed, and if they stayed any longer, they might get robbed themselves.

Zhou Hanxiao, hiding at the farthest point, saw this and a strange smile appeared on his usually nonchalant face: "This kid's got some interesting, I'm rooting for him!"

After speaking, he gave a wink to the other employees of Longting All-in-One Trade Company, and the group hurriedly left, but Zhou Hanxiao did not move.

The night breeze rustled through the trees. With no one else around, Zhuo Yang jumped down from the boulder and came to stand before Cui Yi and Chen Guo.

"Brother Zhuo Yang, you really are..." Cui Yi was very embarrassed, watching Zhuo Yang rob the alliance president, and really didn't know what to say.

Chen Guo, on the other hand, crossed her arms with a hint of interest and gave a coquettish snort: "Zhuo Yang, why didn't you think of your older sister when there were benefits to be had?"

Zhuo Yang looked at her in surprise, thinking to himself, "This old hag actually wants to rob me?"

Robbers hate their fellow thieves the most, and they hate even more when the good stuff they've got is snatched up by someone else before it's even warmed up.

"Why should I be thinking about you?" Zhuo Yang asked with a sour face and a wary expression.

Chen Guo was furious. She opened her mouth to retort, but when she realized that she was really no one to Zhuo Yang, why should he think about her?

"hehe!"

Zhuo Yang turned to face Cui Yi and asked with a smile, "Old Cui, you guys aren't here to steal the treasure too, are you?"

Cui Yi quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "We didn't come here to steal treasure. We just wanted to see who dared to make such a commotion on the outskirts of the city. When we arrived, we found it was you."

"President Yan is blind, actually trying to snatch something from you..."

"Huh? Speaking of that big explosion, you weren't the one who caused it, were you?"

Cui Yi looked astonished. He had already guessed the outcome, but he wasn't sure.

After all, that kind of explosion could only be created by a Golden Core cultivator. The two pseudo-Golden Core cultivators, Liang Yongqing and Lu Mingjiang, in the desert tomb were simply no match for it.

Zhuo Yang stood with his hands behind his back and nodded, saying, "It was me. I killed a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage."

"..."

Even though he had already thought of it, Cui Yi still opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

A master in the late stage of Golden Core isn't a chicken you raise, you can't just kill them whenever you want.

Chen Guo quickly shut her agape and said dismissively, "You say it is, but who would believe that?"

Zhuo Yang glanced at her sideways, speechless: Why are mortal women so annoying?

Dongfang Ke'er is like this, and so is Chen Guo!

Not wanting to argue with a woman, Zhuo Yang turned away, refusing to look at her.

Chen Guo, however, wouldn't let Zhuo Yang off the hook, and said with a sneer, "Speechless now? I knew it, someone was just bragging!"

Zhuo Yang whirled around, his arm rising swiftly and then falling even faster. Taking a deep breath, he said in a low voice, "Don't test my limits, woman!"

Chen Guo was frightened and dared not utter a sound.

The two originally had a good relationship, and after going on an adventure together, they could be considered friends. However, Chen Guo's arrogance strained their relationship.

"Brother Zhuoyang, don't misunderstand, my sister didn't mean anything by it." Cui Yi glared at his sister and quickly explained.

Zhuo Yang snorted: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night in two bounds.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" Cui Yi sighed in exasperation.

Chen Guo pouted, her chest heaving rapidly, furious: "What's with the attitude? I just can't stand him always acting like he's some kind of expert. Who's worse than whom!"

Cui Yi sighed helplessly, "Sis, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but Zhuo Yang is a proud and arrogant person. Ordinary women don't catch his eye. You're using the wrong methods to get his attention!"

"I didn't want his attention!" Chen Guo turned her head away, but her ears perked up.

Cui Yi saw this and said helplessly, "Didn't Zhuo Yang give you a throwing knife last time? That means he doesn't dislike you, right?"

"Hmph!" Chen Guo raised her head arrogantly, a smirk playing on her lips.

“Men as arrogant as Zhuo Yang must all have one thing in common!” Cui Yi said thoughtfully, crossing his arms.

Chen Guo turned her head, her eyes darting around, clearly waiting for what would happen next.

Cui Yi had made up his mind and said seriously, "Excellent men all like equally excellent women, so little sister, if you want to attract Zhuo Yang's attention, you must first be excellent!"

"Am I not good enough?" Chen Guo retorted, puffing out her chest and raising her head. "I'm also at the Heartbeat Stage!"

"Then can you kill a Golden Core expert?"

Cui Yi's words made Chen Guo lower her head.

Among his peers in their twenties, Chen Guo was indeed outstanding, even a top-notch genius, but compared to Zhuo Yang, he paled in comparison.

"It's just cultivation level, I'm no worse than anyone else!"

Chen Guo gritted his teeth, turned around and left, disappearing from the rocky beach in a few leaps.

Cui Yi glanced in the direction Zhuo Yang had left, shook his head, and quickly followed his cousin.

Not long after, Zhuo Yang returned to the rocky beach to repair the underground array core damaged by the violent explosion. After working on it for a while, he smirked and looked up at a figure not far away.

"Manager Zhou?" Zhuo Yang asked with a smile.

The dark figure walked over and chuckled lazily, "Your cultivation is even more impressive than I expected; you actually discovered me!"

Zhuo Yang snorted: "What do you think I came back for? Just to wait for you to show up."

"I have something to discuss with you. It's free." Zhou Hanxiao exuded an air of nonchalance, shrugging and smiling. "A cruise ship will be passing by Lingzhou's outer waters in three days. There will be an auction on board with many treasures. Would you like to go and take a look?"
