Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Nine Peaks Trial! Smooth Brother Can’t Hide Anymore

“Pfft!”

Li Fei Hong’s vision went black, he vomited blood and fainted.

“Second Senior Brother!”

Wei Jun exclaimed in shock and hurriedly carried Li Fei Hong back to Black Dragon Peak.

“Holy crap!”

“I’m not seeing things, right? Senior Brother Li was seriously injured by Senior Brother Zhou in one move?”

“Senior Brother Zhou is this terrifying?”

“Senior Brother Li is a Body Refinement, Fifth Transformation expert who has mastered six martial skills and is proficient in movement techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, and claw techniques. How could Senior Brother Zhou defeat him in one move?”

After a brief silence, the surroundings erupted in an uproar.

News of Li Fei Hong and Wei Jun waiting for Zhou Chen at the foot of the mountain had spread, attracting many disciples to watch.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen descended the mountain quickly.

Li Fei Hong and Wei Jun only waited for about a stick of incense worth of time.

If it had been any longer, even more disciples would have come to watch.

“Zhou Chen has hidden himself well!”

A young man in purple, not far away, watched Zhou Chen’s departing figure and said with emotion:

“Although it was a brief exchange, Li Fei Hong was completely crushed, unable to fight back!”

“Senior Brother Song is absolutely right!”

A young man in black standing beside him echoed:

“Zhou Chen first calmly dodged the spear’s light, then grabbed the spear with a backhand, taking away Li Fei Hong’s spear. It’s evident that his speed and strength far surpass Li Fei Hong. This kind of strength would place him in the upper-middle ranks even among True Inheritance Disciples!”

“We have to work hard. If we get surpassed by Little Junior Brother someday, it would be truly embarrassing!”

The young man in purple, Song Zi Yi, shook his head and, using his movement technique, disappeared from Spirit Medicine Peak in a few leaps.

The young man in black followed closely behind.

At the same time.

News of Zhou Chen and Li Fei Hong fighting over Mu Ling Er, with Zhou Chen instantly defeating Li Fei Hong and severely injuring him, spread like wildfire throughout Azure Cloud Sect.

Those who heard this news were all stunned.

Not because Zhou Chen and Li Fei Hong were fighting over a woman. After all, Zhou Chen was known for his fondness for women, and Li Fei Hong had been pursuing Mu Ling Er for ten years. It was normal for them to fight over her.

What was truly shocking was that Zhou Chen had won!

And it was an instant kill.

This news was even more unbelievable than Zhou Chen giving up women.

Li Fei Hong was at Body Refinement, Fifth Transformation, ranked twenty-second among the True Inheritance Disciples this year. Zhou Chen, on the other hand, was just a newcomer who had entered Body Refinement, Ninth Level half a year ago, ranking last among the True Inheritance Disciples at thirty-fourth.

There was a difference of twelve ranks between them!

“This news has to be fake, right? Although Senior Brother Zhou is strong at Body Refinement, Ninth Level, how could he possibly defeat Senior Brother Li in one move?”

“Maybe Senior Brother Zhou suddenly attacked, disregarding martial ethics?”

“You’d be wrong about that. I saw it with my own eyes. Senior Brother Li struck first, enraged, thrusting his spear at Senior Brother Zhou. However, Senior Brother Zhou merely dodged the attack with a slight sidestep, then grabbed Senior Brother Li’s spear and seriously injured him with one thrust!”

“Hiss!”

“The gap between Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Zhou is that big? How is that possible?”

“Could it be that Senior Brother Zhou’s fondness for women is just a facade to deceive others? In reality, Senior Brother Zhou trains hard every night, which is why his strength is extraordinary and his progress remarkable?”

“It must be so! Senior Brother Zhou is too cunning!”

“Yeah, we thought Senior Brother Zhou was always with women. Who would have thought he was secretly training hard every night!”

The inner and outer sect disciples discussed among themselves, feeling they had discovered the truth.

Just like those top students who would say they never study or do their homework.

But every time there’s an exam, those top students would be at the top of the class.

…

Spirit Medicine Peak.

Mu Ling Er fled in panic from the alchemy room back to her own boudoir and hurriedly changed her undergarments, but she still felt a sticky sensation as if soaked in sweat.

She had no choice but to ask someone to prepare hot water for a bath.

In a large bathtub, Mu Ling Er soaked comfortably. The water was filled with various flower petals and medicinal herbs, and a faint floral fragrance permeated the air.

Mu Ling Er picked up a towel, gently pouring hot water onto her fair neck. Water droplets slid down, gliding over her shoulders as smooth as congealed white jade, over her delicate collarbone, and finally gathering in the valley between her breasts.

“So comfortable!”

Mu Ling Er took a deep breath, and Zhou Chen’s image appeared in her mind: “That little rascal, Smooth Junior Brother, only knows how to bully people. He’s really bad…”

Thinking of Zhou Chen, Mu Ling Er felt as if a big hand had brushed over her body, and then wanted to burrow into her…

“Senior Sister, something terrible has happened…”

Mu Ling Er jolted, her long, fair legs clamping together. She said to the person outside with annoyance:

“Who’s in trouble! I’m perfectly fine!”

“No, I didn’t mean Senior Sister is in trouble. It’s Senior Brother Zhou Chen and Senior Brother Li Fei Hong. They got into a fight…”

“What?”

Mu Ling Er was shocked. The bathtub exploded under her immense strength, but she didn’t care. She grabbed her clothes, put them on, and ran outside.

“Why would Smooth Junior Brother fight with Li Fei Hong?”

Mu Ling Er’s face was full of anxiety. How could Zhou Chen possibly defeat Li Fei Hong?

“Senior Sister, don’t worry, the fight is over!”

“What? It’s over? How is Smooth Junior Brother? Is he seriously injured?”

Mu Ling Er hurriedly took out the healing medicine her master had given her, intending to deliver it to Zhou Chen.

“Senior Sister, wait, Senior Brother Zhou is fine. It was Senior Brother Li who was seriously injured!”

“Huh? Who did you say was seriously injured?”

Mu Ling Er stopped, turned to look at her maidservant, thinking she had misheard.

“Senior Sister, Senior Brother Zhou is fine. He defeated Senior Brother Li with one spear thrust. Senior Brother Li has already been carried back to Black Dragon Peak, and Senior Brother Zhou has also returned!”

“Little Junior Brother is really amazing!”

Mu Ling Er patted her full chest, let out a long breath, and said fiercely, “Li Fei Hong really deserves it!”

Maidservant: “…”

Indeed.

Simps get nothing in the end!

……

Black Dragon Peak.

“Master, it’s bad! Second Senior Brother has been seriously injured by Zhou Chen!”

Wei Jun rushed back to Black Dragon Peak carrying Li Fei Hong, shouting anxiously.

Whoosh!

Li Shen Tong, the Peak Master of Black Dragon Peak, appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

Following closely behind.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The other three True Inheritance Disciples, Senior Brother Deng Yi Qiang, Third Senior Brother Zhao Wang Sun, and Fourth Senior Brother Dugu Tian also rushed over quickly.

Because the True Inheritance Challenge had just ended, all of them were present.

Li Shen Tong reached out and grasped Li Fei Hong’s wrist, sending a wisp of Divine Power into his body, immediately sensing his condition.

“His internal organs are damaged, his ribs are all broken, even with the best elixirs, he’ll have to lie down for two months!”

Li Shen Tong’s face darkened, suppressing his anger as he shouted,

“Who did this?”

“It was Zhou Chen, the True Inheritance Disciple of Divine Arrow Peak!”

Wei Jun quickly replied.

“Zhou Chen?”

“How is that possible?”

“How could he seriously injure Fei Hong with a single strike?”

Li Shen Tong was taken aback. Li Fei Hong’s injuries were caused by a single blow from a spear shaft, and there were no other wounds.

“Master, I saw it with my own eyes. It was Zhou Chen who snatched Second Senior Brother’s spear and struck him backhanded, leaving him in this state!”

Upon hearing this, Li Shen Tong’s face grew even more unsightly.

“That damn scoundrel, hiding so deeply!”

Recalling how his other disciple, Han Ye, had been severely injured by Zhou Chen’s sword during the True Inheritance Challenge, Li Shen Tong was filled with rage:

“This kid has only been in the sect for a year, how could he be so strong? He must be a spy who concealed his cultivation!”

Li Shen Tong took out an elixir and fed it to Li Fei Hong, then ordered,

“Carry Fei Hong, follow me to Azure Cloud Peak. Today, I must seek justice for Fei Hong and Han Ye!”

“Yes, Master!”

Wei Jun and another disciple immediately lifted Li Fei Hong.

Deng Yi Qiang, Zhao Wang Sun, and Dugu Tian, the three True Inheritance Disciples, followed closely behind.

The group headed towards Azure Cloud Peak in a mighty procession.

……

Divine Arrow Peak.

After seriously injuring Li Fei Hong with a single move, Zhou Chen quickly returned to Divine Arrow Peak.

He didn’t want to gamble on human nature. What if that old geezer Li Shen Tong disregarded the rules and attacked him?

Although he cultivated both Immortality and Martial Arts, his Martial Dao cultivation had reached the Forty-Fourth Transformation, and because of a certain Unparalleled Divine Art, he was comparable to a Fifty-Fourth Transformation cultivator without one.

But he wasn’t confident in facing Li Shen Tong.

To become a Peak Master, one’s talent couldn’t be weak. They must have broken through to the Divine Power Realm after the Ninth Transformation, and now they were at least at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm.

The Azure Cloud Ancestor could defy the heavens and defeat a Divine Sea Realm expert with his Seventy-Two Transformations, but Zhou Chen was probably still lacking.

Moreover, he didn’t want to expose his trump cards.

It was better to seek protection from a powerful figure!

“Master, I was bullied!”

Zhou Chen rushed to Li Chang Feng’s residence and cried out.

“What are you howling about?”

Li Chang Feng adjusted his belt, emerging from the room with two flushed, beautiful women, and said irritably,

“Who bullied you?”

“Li Fei Hong from Black Dragon Peak!”

Zhou Chen stepped forward and quickly said,

“Today, I just came down from Spirit Medicine Peak after learning alchemy from Senior Sister Mu, and Li Fei Hong and Wei Jun blocked my way, threatening me not to see Senior Sister Mu again!”

“I argued with him a few words, and he suddenly attacked me with his spear. Fortunately, I have some skill and countered with a strike, seriously injuring him. Otherwise, I would have been killed by his spear!”

“Li Fei Hong?”

Li Chang Feng’s eyes flickered. He knew the name.

Li Fei Hong was a veteran True Inheritance Disciple, and he had heard about his decade-long pursuit of Mu Ling Er.

It was understandable that Li Fei Hong would be furious after Zhou Chen went to Spirit Medicine Peak and messed with Mu Ling Er.

He deserved to be seriously injured.

He looked at Zhou Chen, surprised that this little disciple who was always out having fun with women was actually so capable, even defeating Li Fei Hong.

However, that old geezer Li Shen Tong was petty and definitely wouldn’t let it go.

Zhou Chen came to him for a good reason.

“Let’s go, we’ll go to the Sect Master for justice!”

Li Chang Feng led Zhou Chen, with Li Chang Hen following behind. The three of them headed towards Azure Cloud Peak.

Azure Cloud Hall.

As soon as the three of them arrived, they heard Li Shen Tong inside accusing Zhou Chen of his crimes.

“Sect Master, Zhou Chen seriously injured Fei Hong with a single strike. He must have at least Seventh Transformation strength. How could he have Seventh Transformation strength after only a year in the sect? He must be a spy from another sect or even the Imperial Court, concealing his cultivation and infiltrating our Azure Cloud Sect with malicious intent…”

“Who are you calling a spy?”

Li Chang Feng roared, entering the Azure Cloud Hall with Zhou Chen and Li Chang Hen.

Sect Master Qing Yu Yao sat on the Sect Master’s throne, her expression impassive. She had also heard about this matter.

And she had guessed that it would be brought to her.

She looked at Li Shen Tong and Li Chang Feng and said indifferently,

“Seriously injuring a fellow disciple within the Azure Cloud Sect is a serious crime. Today, we will gather all the Peak Masters, elders, and True Inheritance Disciples to investigate the truth and serve as an example!”

“What do you two think?”

Qing Yu Yao asked.

“No problem!”

“Agreed!”

Li Shen Tong and Li Chang Feng agreed. As the Azure Cloud Bell rang, the Peak Masters, elders, and True Inheritance Disciples from all peaks quickly arrived.

The originally spacious Azure Cloud Hall immediately became lively.

Everyone had heard about the conflict between Zhou Chen and Li Fei Hong, but they didn’t expect it to escalate to such a degree, requiring all of them to be summoned.

Seeing that all the powerful figures of Azure Cloud Sect had arrived, Qing Yu Yao swept her majestic gaze over them and said calmly,

“Today, I have gathered you all because Peak Master Li of Black Dragon Peak has accused Zhou Chen, the True Inheritance Disciple of Divine Arrow Peak, of harming a fellow disciple, concealing his cultivation, and being a spy from the Imperial Court!”

Wow!

The crowd erupted in an uproar, their eyes wide with astonishment. Harming a fellow disciple was one thing, but concealing his cultivation and being a spy from the Imperial Court, where did that come from?

Qing Yu Yao raised her hand, and the crowd quieted down, their gazes fixed on her.

“Today, I have gathered you all to publicly investigate this matter.”

“First, let’s address the accusation of harming a fellow disciple.”

Qing Yu Yao’s bright and majestic eyes turned to Zhou Chen, and she asked, “Zhou Chen, Peak Master Li claims that you seriously injured Li Fei Hong and harmed a fellow disciple. Do you have any objections?”

“Disciple objects!”

Zhou Chen stepped forward and said confidently,

“Today, this disciple went to Spirit Medicine Peak to learn alchemy from Senior Sister Mu. However, after descending the mountain, Li Fei Hong and Wei Jun blocked my path!”

As he said this, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a cold gaze upon him.

He glanced over with his peripheral vision and saw a beautiful woman.

Cheng Su Su, the Peak Master of Spirit Medicine Peak.

Cheng Su Su didn’t believe that Zhou Chen could practice alchemy at all. He must have used learning alchemy as an excuse to mess with her disciple, Mu Ling Er.

She mentally noted Zhou Chen. If he dared to come again, she would break his legs!

“Zhou Chen knows alchemy my ass! I think his true intentions lie not in wine, but between the ‘mountains’ and ‘waters’!”

The Peak Masters, elders, and True Inheritance Disciples of Azure Cloud Sect sneered inwardly. They didn’t believe Zhou Chen was there to learn; he was probably there to chase after women.

No wonder Li Fei Hong blocked his path.

Li Fei Hong was a fervent pursuer of Mu Ling Er.

Ignoring Cheng Su Su’s murderous gaze and the disdainful looks of the others, Zhou Chen continued,

“This disciple asked Li Fei Hong and Wei Jun to step aside, but they refused. Li Fei Hong threatened me, forbidding me from seeing Senior Sister Mu, or else he would be impolite!”

At this point, Zhou Chen became indignant and declared loudly, “A true man, born between heaven and earth, should not be threatened for no reason!”

“I reasoned with him, kindly telling Li Fei Hong that Senior Sister Mu didn’t like him and advising him to give up. However, not only did Li Fei Hong not appreciate it, but he suddenly attacked me with his spear!”

“His spear thrust was merciless, aimed directly at my heart. If this disciple didn’t have some skill, I would have been killed by Li Fei Hong on the spot!”

“This disciple merely snatched Li Fei Hong’s spear and countered with a single strike. I didn’t expect Li Fei Hong to be so weak that he was seriously injured.”

Li Shen Tong’s face twitched, his fists clenched. He really wanted to slap Zhou Chen to death, but he held back and didn’t speak.

The other Peak Masters and elders were also watching the show with amusement.

Zhou Chen bowed to Qing Yu Yao and said resolutely,

“Li Fei Hong wanted to kill this disciple and attacked me first. Even if I had killed him, it wouldn’t have been excessive!”

“However, this disciple, considering our fellow discipleship, did not take the opportunity to kill him. I believe I have shown enough mercy. I ask Sect Master Aunt and all the Senior Uncles and Aunts to judge fairly!”

“You’re lying! That’s not what happened!”

Wei Jun retorted indignantly.

“Li Fei Hong blocked my way and attacked first. Many disciples saw it. How could it be false?”

Zhou Chen’s gaze was sharp as he glared at Wei Jun and asked sternly.

“Y-yes… Second Senior Brother attacked first, but you provoked him with your words!”

Wei Jun’s face flushed red as he argued back.

“I provoked him? Did I ask him to block my way?”

“Besides, even if I said that Senior Sister Mu didn’t like him and advised him to give up, is that considered provocation? Is that a reason for him to try to kill me?”

Zhou Chen took a step forward, his aura overwhelming as he pressed Wei Jun and roared,

“Answer me!”

“Y-you…”

Wei Jun couldn’t help but retreat, making Li Shen Tong’s face even more unsightly. What a useless piece of trash, embarrassing him!

Deng Yi Qiang, the Senior Brother of Black Dragon Peak, immediately stepped forward, blocking Zhou Chen’s aura for Wei Jun and rebuked,

“Zhou Chen, are you trying to intimidate Junior Brother Wei?”

“Did I say anything wrong?”

Zhou Chen’s imposing aura instantly vanished, as if he were an ordinary person.

His calm demeanor made Deng Yi Qiang feel like he had punched cotton. He wanted to be angry but couldn’t find a reason to be, feeling so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

Sect Master Qing Yu Yao sat calmly on her throne, watching silently without intervening in their confrontation and arguments.

The other Peak Masters, elders, and True Inheritance Disciples also observed Zhou Chen, Wei Jun, and the others with interest, their thoughts racing.

“Li Chang Feng has taken in a good disciple!”

Song Hao, the Peak Master of Heavenly Saber Peak, observed Zhou Chen and thought to himself,

“This kid has some tricks up his sleeve. The disciples from Black Dragon Peak are no match for him!”

At this moment, Wei Jun regained his composure. Recalling his fear and retreat under Zhou Chen’s aura, he felt both ashamed and angry. He pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted,

“You didn’t say it like that before! You said Senior Sister Mu is very…”

“Yes, I said Senior Sister Mu is very annoyed by Li Fei Hong and told him not to pester her. Is there a problem with that?”

Zhou Chen interrupted.

Mu Ling Er stood behind Cheng Su Su, watching Zhou Chen argue with the crowd, her eyes shining with admiration.

“Nonsense!”

Wei Jun’s anger surged, and he blurted out,

“You clearly said Senior Sister Mu is…”

“Very smooth!”

Wow!

The Azure Cloud Hall erupted in an uproar, everyone’s jaws dropping in astonishment!……
