Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 127

Chapter 127: The Immortal Army, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Chaos Demon Ape

“It’s actually her!?”
Seeing this soul, Zhou Chen was a bit surprised.

“It seems Zhang Long probably also fell victim to the Flower Thief!”

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

Although he didn’t have a deep relationship with Zhang Long, they were acquaintances.

Actually, when he heard that the County Magistrate had been attacked, Zhou Chen had a premonition that Zhang Long might not be spared.

As expected.

Hong Xiu’s soul appeared in his Wind and Moon Mirror.

Hong Xiu was the head maidservant in Zhang Long’s residence. When Zhang Long had invited Zhou Chen to his home, it was Hong Xiu who entertained him.

Don’t look back, sister-in-law, it’s Brother Long!

The memory of Hong Xiu’s milk fragrance surfaced in Zhou Chen’s mind, and killing intent surged within him.

“Brother Long, rest assured, I will avenge you!”

Zhou Chen suppressed the killing intent in his heart. In the Wind and Moon Mirror, his soul body arrived in front of Hong Xiu’s soul. Just like those who had entered before, Hong Xiu was still asleep.

With the addition of Hong Xiu, there were now six people in Zhou Chen’s Wind and Moon Mirror, enough to form a special small squad.

As Zhou Chen’s cultivation level increased, his control over the Wind and Moon Mirror gradually grew.

Zhou Chen could now modify the rules for soul bodies entering the Wind and Moon Mirror.

But Zhou Chen didn’t, because the default rules of the Wind and Moon Mirror were already the best.

After these soul bodies were deified by Zhou Chen, they were not only genuine divine cultivators, but also practically immortal and indestructible, and they were absolutely loyal to Zhou Chen, making them truly undying warriors.

Their dual cultivation with Zhou Chen’s soul body in the Wind and Moon Mirror to provide Romance Points was just one of their insignificant functions.

Their true purpose was to sweep across the Eight Desolations for Zhou Chen and suppress the immortal army of heaven and earth.

Just like the heavenly soldiers and generals on the Investiture of the Gods.

But they were not comparable to heavenly soldiers and generals.

Firstly, their potential was stronger than that of heavenly soldiers and generals, and secondly, they were absolutely loyal to Zhou Chen.

However, they couldn’t match the sheer number of heavenly soldiers and generals.

After all, the two conditions of having a relationship with Zhou Chen and reaching a certain level of favorability limited countless people.

But quality over quantity.

As long as their strength increased, one day, one of them might be able to rival ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

In the future, if Zhou Chen established a force, a Heavenly Court, and became the Heavenly Emperor, they would be his most capable subordinates and assistants.

And Zhou Chen hardly had to pay any price. Deifying them didn’t consume anything, and they could cultivate on their own.

It was a win-win situation, there was no more profitable deal in the world.

As for who they were in their previous lives, it didn’t matter to Zhou Chen at all. If he didn’t like them, he could just treat them as beautiful warriors.

It wasn’t as if Zhou Chen had to dual cultivate with everyone who came here.

In Zhou Chen’s eyes, their characteristic as immortal soldiers outweighed their characteristic as beautiful women.

Moreover, after death and deification, they were completely different from their past selves, as if they had been reborn and were living a second life.

For the souls who came to the Wind and Moon Mirror, Zhou Chen only hoped for more, the better, so that his immortal army could grow rapidly.

These were his true foundation, their value immeasurable.

Actually, this kind of passive growth was a bit slow. Zhou Chen was also considering whether to actively recruit members for his immortal army.

Temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Zhou Chen looked at the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.

The Wind and Moon Illustrated Record was similar to the Investiture of the Gods. It was condensed from the Wind and Moon Mirror and was equivalent to a part or a sub-treasure of the Wind and Moon Mirror.

“Hong Xiu, hear my decree.”

Zhou Chen spoke with heavenly authority, deifying Hong Xiu. However, he was too lazy to use other titles and simply used her name.

It was just a title!

As his voice fell, the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record shone with golden light.

A beam of golden light enveloped Hong Xiu, her illusory soul rapidly solidified, her aura surged, and she jumped to the second level of Qi Refinement in one go.

She was considered the weakest in Zhou Chen’s Wind and Moon Mirror.

After all, Hong Xiu was originally just an ordinary person.

“Hmm…”

Hong Xiu slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the abundant power filling her body, she felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration, but there was still some confusion and fear in her eyes.

Wasn’t she killed by the Flower Thief?
“Young Master Zhou?”

Suddenly seeing Zhou Chen, Hong Xiu was both surprised and delighted.

She had a good impression of Zhou Chen, not only because he was handsome and skilled, but also because he didn’t look down on her and treated her as a human being.

Although she was Zhang Long’s head maidservant, she was no different from an object in Zhang Long’s eyes, otherwise he wouldn’t have used her to entertain Zhou Chen.

“Hong Xiu, your soul came to my special treasure space after your death. What happened?”

Zhou Chen asked.

“Young Master, a vicious Flower Thief has appeared in Qing He County. He not only rapes and murders young girls, but also enjoys wiping out entire families, as if he treats Qing He County as his playground…”

As Hong Xiu spoke, Zhou Chen learned about what had happened in Qing He County during this time.

At first, the Flower Thief only targeted young girls from ordinary families, and then he went after the daughters of wealthy families.

The County Magistrate was furious and ordered his subordinates to investigate thoroughly and bring the Flower Thief to justice.

However, not long after this order was issued, the County Magistrate’s daughter was raped and murdered by the Flower Thief, and the County Magistrate’s entire family was brutally killed.

Zhang Long guessed that the Flower Thief might target him next, so he gathered his subordinates and even other experts from Qing He County to guard against him.

Unexpectedly, he was still attacked.

Because the Flower Thief was skilled in transformation techniques, it was difficult to defend against him.

“Hong Xiu, you can cultivate here with peace of mind. I will avenge you!”

After clarifying the situation, Zhou Chen’s soul body left the Wind and Moon Mirror.

“Martial Aunt, I’m going to Qing He County to personally capture the Flower Thief!”

Zhou Chen said to Qing Yu Yao.

“Then be careful!”

Qing Yu Yao didn’t stop him. Qing He County was Zhou Chen’s hometown after all, and it was reasonable for him to go back under such circumstances.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!”

After kissing Qing Yu Yao’s rosy cheeks, Zhou Chen got out of bed and rushed to Qing He County with Hong Zhu at the fastest speed.

Qing Yu Yao only withdrew her gaze after Zhou Chen’s figure disappeared. She looked down at her slightly bulging belly and slowly sat up.

She casually cleaned herself up and then circulated her energy to refine.

“My Immortal Spiritual Root seems to be recovering. Is it because of dual cultivation with that little rascal?”

Qing Yu Yao’s beautiful eyes fell into deep thought.

It had to be said that although Zhou Chen liked to manipulate her in various ways, he seemed to be a treasure trove, with an extraordinary physique.

He would be targeted by a demoness sooner or later!

……

Qing He County.

Qing He County, which used to be bustling with activity, was now deserted, with every household keeping their doors tightly shut, a tense and fearful atmosphere prevailing.
Zhou Chen arrived first, ahead of the elders sent by Qing Yu Yao from the Azure Cloud Sect.

Zhou Chen used his Concealing One’s Tracks supernatural ability and, together with Hong Zhu, hid their presence to investigate secretly, but they didn’t find any trace of the Flower Thief.

“Could it be that the Flower Thief is no longer in Qing He County?”

Zhou Chen frowned. He couldn’t even find him with his third level Qi Observation Technique.

There were only two possibilities.

Either the Flower Thief was not in Qing He County.

Or the Flower Thief’s transformation and concealment techniques were extraordinary.

Both possibilities were quite likely.

“Young Master, what should we do now?”

Hong Zhu asked.

It was useless to have great strength if they couldn’t find the Flower Thief, there was simply nowhere to use it.

“I have a way!”

Zhou Chen had Hong Zhu hide outside Qing He County, while he disguised himself as Xiao Shi, the young master of the Xiao Family.

This was the plan he had come up with before arriving. It was a backup plan in case they couldn’t find the Flower Thief.

Xiao Shi was an outer sect disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. According to Hong Xiu’s information, the Xiao Family had been wiped out by the Flower Thief, but the news hadn’t reached Xiao Shi yet.

At this moment.

Zhou Chen, disguised as Xiao Shi, emanated the aura of the sixth level of Body Refinement and charged towards the Xiao Family residence with a furious expression, accompanied by his fellow disciple Ji Feng Xia.

Ji Feng Xia suppressed her aura to the sixth level of Body Refinement, playing the role of Xiao Shi’s junior sister, and followed Zhou Chen.

If the Flower Thief saw this, he would definitely be tempted to attack Zhou Chen or Ji Feng Xia.

As long as the Flower Thief made a move, Zhou Chen would be able to catch him.

Xiao Family residence.

At this moment, the place was filled with a bloody stench, corpses lay everywhere, because the experts sent by the County Magistrate, the County Captain, and even the Prefect had all been killed.

The entire Qing He County was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere, no one was moving about, and no one dared to come out to collect the bodies.

“You bastard, come out here!”

“Fuck your grandmother!”

Zhou Chen’s acting skills were fully unleashed, his eyes were red with anger as he cursed and hurled insults at the Flower Thief’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

He believed that the Flower Thief wouldn’t be indifferent.

“Who is this person? He actually dares to provoke that one?”

“He seems to be Xiao Shi, the third young master of the Xiao Family. I heard he joined the Azure Cloud Sect. It seems he came back to seek revenge after receiving the news!”

“I wonder if the third young master Xiao can handle him?”

The people hiding in their houses opened a crack in their windows and peeked at Zhou Chen, their hearts filled with both fear and hope, hoping that he could deal with the Flower Thief.

After all, he was a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.

“Young Master, your acting is so good!”

Ji Feng Xia watched Zhou Chen’s performance, it was so natural, as if he was truly Xiao Shi, the third young master of the Xiao Family.

She slowly walked to Zhou Chen’s side and said in a cold voice, “Senior Brother, please accept my condolences. We will definitely catch that heinous Flower Thief, tear him to pieces, and avenge all the innocent victims!”

Her voice was firm and clear, audible to everyone around.

If the Flower Thief heard this, he would definitely seek revenge on her, especially since she was a stunning beauty, the Flower Thief would definitely not be indifferent.

Zhou Chen didn’t speak, as if he was in no mood, and just collected the bodies of the Xiao Family by himself.

Starting with Xiao Shi’s parents and relatives.

Ji Feng Xia followed Zhou Chen and helped him.

The sun set in the west.

The setting sun was like blood.

A figure flew over, with seven white clouds embroidered on his chest, it was the attire of an elder from the Azure Cloud Sect.

“Are you also disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect?”

Dou Yuan, the elder from the Azure Cloud Sect, saw the outer sect disciple attire on Zhou Chen and Ji Feng Xia and came forward to inquire.

“Disciple Xiao Shi （Chen Rong）, greetings, Elder!”

Zhou Chen and Ji Feng Xia didn’t reveal their true identities, keeping up the act. With the enemy hidden and them exposed, they couldn’t let their guard down against any enemy.

“Are you from the Xiao Family?”

Dou Yuan looked at Zhou Chen’s eyes filled with sadness and anger, making a guess in his heart.

“Reporting to Elder, Senior Brother is the third young master of the Xiao Family, I came here with Senior Brother!”

Ji Feng Xia cupped her hands and explained.

“The Flower Thief’s strength is not weak. Even the seventh level Body Refinement martial artist sent by the Prefect was killed. There’s no guarantee he won’t attack you!”

Dou Yuan looked at Zhou Chen and Ji Feng Xia, “Now that I’m here, I will definitely catch the Flower Thief and avenge the dead. You should stay by my side for now!”

“Thank you for your kindness, Elder, but I still have to take care of my family’s funeral arrangements. I’m not afraid of that Flower Thief either. Rest assured, Elder, I can protect myself!”

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, “If that Flower Thief comes to me, even better, I can avenge my parents and family!”

“You…”

Dou Yuan was furious and reprimanded, “You’re too arrogant! In that case, suit yourself! Chen Rong, come with me!”

Ji Feng Xia was about to refuse when Zhou Chen’s voice transmission rang in her mind:

“You go with the elder!”

“Yes, Elder!”

Ji Feng Xia left with Dou Yuan.

Night fell.

All was silent.

Zhou Chen stayed at the Xiao Family residence, waiting for the Flower Thief to make a move.

Based on the information he had gathered, the Flower Thief was very cunning and would most likely think he was a bait, so he probably wouldn’t attack him.

But whether the Flower Thief attacked him or Ji Feng Xia, he wasn’t afraid.

Qing He County Yamen.

Elder Dou Yuan and Ji Feng Xia were both staying here.

Knock knock!

A knock on the door sounded. Ji Feng Xia opened the door and saw Xiao Shi standing outside.

“Junior Sister, how is the investigation going? Has the elder found any clues about the Flower Thief?”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were red as he eagerly wanted to know about the murderer.

“The elder hasn’t found any clues yet!”

Ji Feng Xia shook her head.

Xiao Shi’s eyes dimmed, and then he gave a wry smile, “It’s okay, we’ll find that villain one day!”

After saying that, he stared straight at Ji Feng Xia and said with emotion, “Junior Sister, thank you for accompanying Senior Brother to this dangerous place regardless of your own safety…”

As he spoke, he reached out to hold Ji Feng Xia’s soft hand.

Ji Feng Xia subtly dodged and suddenly smiled, “Although the elder hasn’t found any clues about the Flower Thief, I have!”

“Really?”

Xiao Shi was overjoyed and excited, reaching out with both hands to grab Ji Feng Xia.

Buzz!
Two golden flames seemed to appear in Ji Feng Xia’s eyes. As Xiao Shi reached out to grab her, he screamed and let out a beastly roar.

“Roar!”

The clothes on Xiao Shi’s body exploded, and he transformed into a ten-foot-tall black ape.

The black ape’s scarlet eyes were filled with lust, cruelty, and violence. He beat his chest and stared at Ji Feng Xia, as if wanting to devour her alive!
“Beast, prepare to die!”

Sensing the commotion, Elder Dou Yuan rushed out in anger, slashing down with dozens of feet of sword energy, but it was shattered by the black ape with a single punch!
“A second-tier demon beast?”

Dou Yuan’s eyes became a bit solemn. He stepped on the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps and used the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique to attack the black ape.

Bang bang bang!
Sword energy crisscrossed, the ape roared, but Elder Dou Yuan, a Divine Sea Realm expert, couldn’t even break through its defenses.

The black ape’s muscles bulged, as if cast from steel, every punch and kick was powerful and heavy, wild and unparalleled!
“This is no ordinary demon beast!”

Zhou Chen’s figure had appeared beside Ji Feng Xia at some point. Actually, he had already discovered it when the black ape, disguised as Xiao Shi, went to find Ji Feng Xia.

It had to be said that the black ape’s transformation and disguise techniques were truly impressive. Even though Zhou Chen knew he was fake, he couldn’t find any flaws.

No wonder Qing He County was powerless against the black ape.

Not to mention the black ape’s strength.

Just its transformation techniques alone made it impossible to guard against.

“This should be a rare variant Chaos Demon Ape. Its innate supernatural ability is transformation, comparable to a Great Supernatural Ability, very powerful!”

Hong Zhu’s graceful figure appeared beside Zhou Chen and said with delight, “Young Master, as long as you refine its rune bone, you can obtain this Great Supernatural Ability of transformation!”

“Young Master, you also know that starting from the Divine Seed Realm, it’s about cultivating supernatural abilities. High-level martial arts and Unparalleled Divine Arts can all evolve into corresponding supernatural abilities!”

“But supernatural abilities vary in strength. Supernatural abilities evolved from High-level martial arts are mostly Minor Supernatural Abilities, supernatural abilities evolved from Unparalleled Divine Arts are basically Great Supernatural Abilities, as for the most powerful Supreme Supernatural Abilities, they are extremely rare and hard to come by!”
