Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 63

Chapter 63: True Inheritance Ceremony, One Arrow Kills

“Get lost!”
Li Chang Feng raised his foot, and Zhou Chen scurried away.

“Birds of a feather!”

Li Chang Hen said lightly.

“You’re asking for a beating!”

Li Chang Feng picked up his bow and arrow, pretending to strike. Li Chang Hen also scurried away, even faster than Zhou Chen.

Time flew by;
Half a month passed in a flash.

Zhou Chen’s fame spread throughout Azure Cloud City and, with Azure Cloud City as the center, spread in all directions.

Unfortunately, this fame was only for his romantic exploits.

Now, Zhou Chen had become a regular at Celestial Fairy Restaurant. In the past half month, he had probably spent eight out of ten days there.

Now, who in Azure Cloud didn’t know Zhou Chen’s name?

Many Azure Cloud disciples, jealous in their hearts, hoped that Zhou Chen’s body would be emptied and he would make a fool of himself at the True Inheritance Ceremony.

Sect Master Qing Yu Yao, upon hearing this, was displeased.

It was fine for him to visit brothels and play with women; she didn’t care to interfere. But it wouldn’t do for him to be so irresponsible and indulge in these things all day long.
However, she couldn’t say anything for the time being.

If Zhou Chen didn’t work hard, he would suffer in a year!
Today,

was Zhou Chen’s True Inheritance Ceremony.

Countless forces from both Yun Meng and Qingyun Prefectures gathered at Azure Cloud.

“Brother Chen, you look so handsome today!”

Qin Hong Yu, with a face full of excitement, helped Zhou Chen change into his True Inheritance Disciple attire. Her eyes were filled with admiration and adoration, as if they were about to overflow.

“Senior Brother Zhou, it’s almost time, we should set off!”

A disciple came to inform him.

“Coming!”

Zhou Chen, taking Qin Hong Yu with him, followed the guiding disciple to the martial arts stage on Azure Cloud Peak.

At the top of the martial arts stage were nine seats. The one in the middle was the highest, representing the supreme authority of the Azure Cloud Sect Master.

Sect Master Qing Yu Yao, dressed in azure, sat upon it.

As soon as he saw her, Zhou Chen held his breath. Even though he had seen her portrait, he was still incredibly shocked.

What a breathtakingly beautiful woman she was!

Like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven, she was majestic, holy, elegant, noble, and otherworldly, as if she didn’t belong to the mortal realm.

Her beautiful face was flawless, her skin whiter and more delicate than jade, faintly emitting a gem-like luster.

Her pitch-black eyes were like two priceless black gemstones, or like a deep and boundless starry sky, drawing people in, making them want to be buried in that starry sky forever.

Buzz!
Meeting those eyes, Zhou Chen’s whole body trembled, and he didn’t dare to look anymore.

On either side of Qing Yu Yao were four seats, occupied by the Peak Masters of the other eight peaks, Li Chang Feng among them.

Behind them stood the True Inheritance Disciples of each peak.

Then, on the guest seats on both sides below, experts from various sects and clans, such as the Salt Gang and the Fishermen’s Gang, had gathered.

Qin Hong Yu stayed in the outer area, while Zhou Chen stepped forward.

As Zhou Chen appeared, all eyes fell on him, with curiosity, indifference, disdain, resentment…

Zhou Chen’s steps were steady as he walked forward, arriving at the front of the stage. He cupped his hands and bowed:
“Disciple Zhou Chen, greetings to Sect Master, greetings to all Peak Masters.”

“No need for formalities!”

Qing Yu Yao’s cold voice seemed to ring from the Ninth Heaven. It wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

“Today, Divine Arrow Peak Disciple Zhou Chen, with exceptional talent and character, is worthy of becoming a True Inheritance Disciple of our Azure Cloud.”

“He is bestowed with a fourth-tier divine weapon, a Flood Dragon Horse, a residence in Azure Cloud City, five shops, a thousand taels of gold…”

“He is granted access to the first eight floors of the library, can recruit ten registered disciples with treatment equivalent to outer sect disciples, and can recruit two direct disciples with treatment equivalent to inner sect disciples…”

As Qing Yu Yao spoke, countless people around were envious to the point of drooling.

Status, position, divine weapon, money…

He had it all.

If only they could become True Inheritance Disciples of Azure Cloud.

Unfortunately, it was simply impossible.

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Zhou Chen bowed, feeling emotional.

This was what it meant to become rich overnight.

The promotion ceremony ended, and next was the opportunity for the various forces present to show their faces.

They would send their talented disciples at Body Refinement, Seventh Level to challenge Zhou Chen, showcasing themselves in front of everyone, and at the same time serving as a foil to the newly promoted True Inheritance Disciple Zhou Chen.

“I’ve long heard of True Inheritance Disciple Zhou’s amazing archery skills and exceptional talent. I am Hong Xi Fan from the White Cloud Sect, and I would like to request True Inheritance Disciple Zhou’s guidance.”

A young man, holding a long sword, jumped onto the stage and cupped his hands in greeting.

“I wouldn’t dare to claim to be giving guidance. Please!” Zhou Chen was not surprised and nodded in acceptance of the challenge.

An Azure Cloud elder, prepared beforehand, stepped onto the stage and presided over the match: “This is a friendly spar. Friendship comes first, competition second. Please exercise restraint and avoid causing injuries.”

“Yes!”

Zhou Chen and Hong Xi Fan nodded.

“The spar begins.”

As soon as the elder’s voice fell, Hong Xi Fan took the initiative to attack, using his most proficient White Cloud Sword Technique. Unfortunately, he was shot off the stage by Zhou Chen with a single arrow.

Neither the Azure Cloud disciples nor the observing guests were surprised. The White Cloud Sect was not considered strong, and although Hong Xi Fan had reached Body Refinement, Seventh Level, his cultivation was unstable, and at a glance, it was clear his foundation was not solid.

It was only natural for him to be defeated.

At this moment,

a young man holding a long saber from the Salt Gang jumped onto the stage, staring at Zhou Chen with resentful eyes:

“I am Bai Shi Kang, here to learn from you.”

“This kid…”

Qiao Bei Ming frowned. Bai Shi Kang was the son of Bai Gui Nong, carefully nurtured since childhood, and had now reached the peak of Body Refinement, Seventh Level.

He didn’t want Bai Shi Kang to go up, but Bai Shi Kang insisted, and he couldn’t refuse.

He had announced to the outside world that Bai Gui Nong had encountered a mysterious death while working for the gang and was a meritorious member of the Salt Gang.

As the son of a meritorious member, he couldn’t forcefully refuse Bai Shi Kang’s request, which was within the rules.

“Bai Shi Kang…”

Zhou Chen’s heart stirred, sensing the other party’s malice. He guessed that the other party must be related to Bai Gui Nong.

This person must die.

“This is a friendly spar. Friendship comes first, competition second. Please exercise restraint.”

The presiding elder reminded again.

“Senior, as martial artists, why should we fear death?”

Bai Shi Kang said righteously, “If we are timid and hesitant, how can we fully display our strength?”

He looked at Zhou Chen:
“True Inheritance Disciple Zhou, in our spar, we shall determine both superiority and life and death. I wonder if True Inheritance Disciple Zhou dares to accept?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from Azure Cloud frowned.

This was clearly coming to cause trouble.

It wasn’t that they thought Zhou Chen couldn’t defeat Bai Shi Kang, it was just that it had always been a friendly spar. If he wanted a life-and-death duel, this was clearly disrespecting Azure Cloud.

Experts from other forces watched this scene with great interest, and looked at the Salt Gang with meaningful glances.

Qiao Bei Ming was furious and shouted:
“Bai Shi Kang, what nonsense are you talking about? Get back here!”

At this time, Zhou Chen smiled and spoke, praising him:

“Brother Bai’s yearning for martial arts is admirable. How could Chen refuse such an invitation?”

“Today, I will risk my life to accompany you. We shall determine both superiority and life and death!”

Zhou Chen had wanted to kill him, and now it was even better.

He got what he asked for.

He could now openly and justifiably deal with him.

The presiding elder looked at the Sect Master on the high platform. Seeing her nod slightly, he retreated to the side.

Seeing that both were ready, he announced loudly:

“The spar begins!”

Boom!
Bai Shi Kang’s momentum surged. He directly used a martial art similar to Demonic Dissolution to increase his power, and slashed at Zhou Chen with his saber.

The saber Qi was like a rainbow, piercing the sky.

He used a desperate killing move from the start.

Zhou Chen’s figure moved, using the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps, as fast as lightning.

He created distance, dodging the saber Qi, and drew the Sunset Bow like a full moon.

Thwang!
The bowstring hummed like thunder, and the arrow shot out like a flood dragon breaking free from its restraints.

Everyone seemed to see a bright moon slowly rising from the sea!

By the time they came back to their senses, the battle was over.

“How is this possible?”

Bai Shi Kang looked down in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness as he stared at Zhou Chen and crashed to the ground.

The Peak Masters, elders, and disciples of Azure Cloud widened their eyes, their faces full of shock.

“Moon Rising from the Sea… This is the second realm of Yi’s Archery, the Arrow Momentum Realm?”

“He mastered Race to the Moon!?”
