Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 631 - 606: Let It Go!

The Copper Medicine Clan is the largest family in Copper Medicine City, without exception.

Naturally, the residence of the Copper Medicine Clan is also the most luxurious and magnificent in the entire Copper Medicine City, resplendent with gold and jade.

"Brother Tai Xu... no, I should now call you Tai Xu, haha," the City Lord of Copper Medicine City laughed, "I've shown you around my residence. I wonder if it suits your taste?"

"City Lord, you're too kind. I am a simple man and have no great demands for a place to live, especially when the City Lord's residence is so grand and imposing. It's my honor to stay here," Wang Xu said.

In front of ordinary beings of the Ganges River Realm, this residence is indeed grand and imposing, luxurious and magnificent.

But to Wang Xu, who has seen countless places far more magnificent and luxurious, it simply looks like a shabby inn, unworthy of attention.

Of course, Wang Xu couldn't say that out loud.

"Since you like it here, I will gift this residence to you as the place for your wedding with Rong'Er in three months!" the City Lord of Copper Medicine City said heartily.

"City Lord, I have long wondered why you suddenly changed your mind? I really can't figure it out," Wang Xu, hearing the mention of the wedding again, immediately redirected the topic.

"Haha, I didn't expect you were still concerned about that!" the City Lord of Copper Medicine City laughed, "Since we are about to become family, I won't hide it from you."

"There are three reasons why I chose you."

"The first is your strength. A newcomer from the Third Layer, in such a barren place, can cultivate to such an extent without even cultivating any secret techniques, defeating Yun Juan Feng You, the number one among the younger generation. This strength alone impressed me."

"The second is your background. As I mentioned before, you are from the Third Layer, completely unrelated to our Second Layer, with no other ties. I do not want a son-in-law who is an undercover spy seeking to steal our Copper Medicine Clan's secrets."

"As for the third reason..." the City Lord of Copper Medicine City gave Wang Xu a meaningful look.

"What is the third reason?" Wang Xu asked.

"It's very simple, your purpose," the City Lord laughed, "Initially, I was suspicious, wondering why someone from the Third Layer with such extraordinary strength would involve himself in such a ruckus, which made me wary and led me to agree to your terms, preparing to make a deal with you."

"I just didn't expect that you came in disguise, which made me think perhaps your intent is simple, not to get close to Rong'Er or involve our Copper Medicine Clan, but merely to extort some money!"

The City Lord of Copper Medicine City said, "Considering all this, I realized, aren't you the ideal son-in-law I had in mind? There's no one more suitable than you, so I went along with it and announced the wedding news in front of everyone!"

"How is it, your future father-in-law is smart, isn't he, haha..." the City Lord finished, bursting into laughter.

"Smart? Beyond smart, incredibly cunning!" Wang Xu's mouth twitched.

Originally, he just wanted to seize this opportunity to get a Passage Order to enter the First Layer.

Unexpectedly, it caused so much trouble, and now he's thoroughly entangled in it.

But ultimately, it was his own carelessness. Upon obtaining the Passage Order, his excitement caused a change in the Constant Spirit, which led to his disguise being unmasked and ending in this predicament.

"Father-in-law, your wisdom is matchless," Wang Xu lamented.

"Tai Xu, you will temporarily reside here. When the wedding is held in three months, we will truly become family!" the City Lord said.

"I understand," Wang Xu nodded.

The City Lord of Copper Medicine City gave him a few more instructions before turning to leave. However, he suddenly turned back after a few steps.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, this residence is often targeted by thieves, so I've secretly placed some men here. But don't worry, with them around, you will be safe," the City Lord said as he transformed into a phantom and disappeared in the courtyard.

Leaving Wang Xu standing there, stunned.

This guy... too sinister!

Placing men around the residence, is it really for guarding against thieves?

Those men are clearly placed to monitor Wang Xu!

Consider this, with the City Lord of Copper Medicine City's reputation, which thief in Copper Medicine City would be so blind as to provoke him? That's tantamount to asking for death! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

And the last look the City Lord gave before leaving clearly said: with them, you can't escape.

"This time, I'm truly in over my head," Wang Xu sighed deeply.

Though he is confident in his speed, believing no one below the Emperor Spirit Realm can catch him, what is the point of fleeing now if he can't obtain the Passage Order?

"One step at a time,"

Wang Xu now has no choice but to accept his fate.

However, when he entered his residence, he finally received some good news: the Constant Spirit here is more abundant than outside, allowing his cultivation speed to increase more than twofold!

"So be it, since I'm not leaving, I shall cultivate 'Xiang' here diligently. Once I advance to the First Realm, even if I don't get the Passage Order here, with my strength, I will have the qualification to exchange for one!"

The First Realm of 'Xiang' allows a cultivator's physical body to fully rival the Primordial Great Emperor Realm, which is the Early Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm in the Ganges Realm.

The City Lord of Copper Medicine City is also at the Early Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm. Once Wang Xu's strength matches that, how could he not obtain the Passage Order?

...

While Wang Xu was engrossed in cultivation, chaos erupted within the Yun Juan family.

"Young Master Feng You is dead!"

"What? Young Master Feng You is dead? Which audacious scoundrel did this!"

"What scoundrel, I hear the culprit is the City Lord of Copper Medicine City's son-in-law, soon to marry his daughter. The revenge seems unlikely!"

"Heavens, can this be true?!"

...

Everyone in the clan, from the higher-ups to the servants, was discussing the murder of Yun Juan Feng You.

Bam!

With a loud crash, the round table made of fine wood was shattered into dust under a heavy palm strike, scattered everywhere.

"Grand Elder, Second Elder, can't you see? Feng You was killed! He is dead! A life of Yun Juan was lost in vain, and you say we should 'let it go and not pursue further'! Isn't that ridiculous!"

Yun Juan Hei Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, the killing intent boiling within his chest.

His son's murder was an immense grievance that Yun Juan Hei Cheng found hard to let go, harboring deep resentment toward the City Lord of Copper Medicine City and Wang Xu.

He had not expected that when the clan's leadership convened to discuss their response, both the Grand Elder and Second Elder opted for inaction!

Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!

Since when had the Yun Juan Clan been so spineless? A young member was killed, and they intend to dismiss it so easily, bringing shame upon the Yun Juan family!

"Hei Cheng, if you insist on acting rashly, it will only pave the way for disaster upon the Yun Juan family!" the Grand Elder said with drooping eyelids, yet his voice was robust and resonant, "This matter involves the City Lord of Copper Medicine City, and according to most witnesses, it was Feng You himself who chose to challenge and was ultimately killed due to his lack of skill!"

"From any perspective, we cannot make an issue with the City Lord. This matter should be put to rest and not further pursued!"

"Grand Elder!" Yun Juan Hei Cheng's eyes were about to burst.

"I said, enough already!" The Grand Elder slammed his scepter onto the ground, spreading a powerful aura.

"This meeting is over, dismissed!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
