The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 180: The Revenge Squad Arrives

Xia Yuan was right!

The weapon in "his" hand was indeed a kitchen knife!

And yet, he was using it against an Azure Yak?

Xia Yuan couldn't help but question reality.

The massive beast roared, but "Xia Yuan" brought the knife down in a single strike.

It was a slash that seemed to cut through time and space.

A flicker of despair flashed in the Azure Yak's eyes.

Unstoppable.

Inevitable.

Though the beast remained standing, its life force had already vanished.

It had been slain!

Xia Yuan was stunned.

"This knife technique..." he muttered to himself.

It wasn't just the flesh that had been cut.

It was the soul.

In that moment, Xia Yuan glimpsed an entirely new way to wield a blade.

His mind reeled, and then—

Epiphany!

A rare and invaluable state that cultivators across the Azure Continent could only dream of attaining.

Those fortunate enough to experience an epiphany would undergo unimaginable growth.

—

At that same moment, Luo Chuan, lounging by the store's entrance and basking in the sun, suddenly opened his eyes.

He glanced toward the shop.

Yao Ziyan followed his gaze.

A mysterious aura was radiating from Xia Yuan's body.

"A remarkable opportunity," Yao Ziyan murmured in admiration.

Meanwhile, outside Nine Stars City...

A group of figures approached slowly.

At the forefront stood Chu Yangping, Palace Lord of Silver Moon Mansion.

Days ago, Luo Chuan's battle with a Soul Projection had sent shockwaves through Nine Stars City.

Now, Chu Yangping had arrived in person, seeking vengeance for his slain son, Chu Yunfei.

Beside him were four elderly men.

Each one an expert of the Pathseeker realm.

Aside from one elder left behind to guard their sect, Silver Moon Mansion's strongest forces had gathered here.

"Destroy my soul projection, kill my son... Even if you hide in Nine Stars City, your life is mine."

Chu Yangping's voice was low and chilling, like a whisper from the abyss.

"Enter the city!"

"Yes!"

The five of them strode forward, their powerful auras sweeping through the surroundings.

The pressure alone was suffocating.

Weaker cultivators nearby felt their chests tighten, as if a heavy weight was pressing down on them.

Some nearly coughed up blood.

But none dared to speak.

On the Azure Continent, strength reigns supreme.

And then, murmurs began to spread—

"Silver Moon Mansion? Why are they here again?"

"Wasn't the Soul Projection that got destroyed a while ago from Silver Moon Mansion? That technique, Silver Moon Piercing the Sky, is one of their signature moves!"

"Wait... That man just now... He looks just like the one in the Soul Projection!"

"Shhh! Are you trying to die?"

"Oh no... Could another high-level battle be coming to Nine Stars City?"

The whispers spread like wildfire as the five figures disappeared into the city.

—

The city guards at the gates hesitated.

They wanted to stop them.

But they didn't dare.

A group of five Pathseekers entering Nine Stars City?

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

That was no small event!

The captain clenched his fists.

"You lot stay here and watch the gate," he ordered. "I'll report this to His Majesty!"

"Yes, sir!"

—

"Palace Lord, where do we find our target?" one of the elders asked.

Chu Yangping narrowed his eyes.

"The last known location of my Soul Projection was in the eastern part of Nine Stars City. But I don't know the exact spot."

"Then how do we find him?"

"We head for the Imperial Palace."

Chu Yangping turned his gaze toward the city's center.

"Ji Wuhui definitely knows who killed my son. And if he refuses to tell us..."

His lips curled into a cold sneer.

"Then even the Emperor himself won't have peace."

Few could make such a bold declaration.

But in this moment, Chu Yangping had reason to be confident.

With five Pathseekers, he could sweep through any ordinary force with ease.

While the Star Empire had its own powerful cultivators...

At the moment, only Elder Bai and Ji Wuhui were known to be in the city.
