Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1566: Oiran Parade
Gotcha.
Li Feng grabbed Zhu Wanchun's wrist, and in an instant, the Purple Flame slithered into Zhu Wanchun's body like a snake.
Just as he anticipated.
The opponent had previously displayed the Shaking Heaven Technique, the energy affected the space, making it impossible for Li Feng to devour it. But after grabbing the opponent's wrist, Li Feng directly accessed the opponent's energy at the source, and the Purple Flame began to devour voraciously.
Zhu Wanchun also felt the anomaly within his body, as if his Golden Core Power was rapidly draining away.
Zhu Wanchun was able to cultivate the Shaking Heaven Technique because his Golden Core was also dual-element, specifically earth and metal.
In the Five Elements, earth creates metal, which is why Zhu Wanchun's Golden Bell Shield could reach the Third Realm, and the Shaking Heaven Technique and Golden Bell Shield were the perfect combination.
It could be said that with these two cultivation techniques, Zhu Wanchun could strut confidently in the Ninth Ring.
Unexpectedly, today he happened to run into Li Feng, and was outmaneuvered by him.
Zhu Wanchun's emotions were unknown, as Li Feng seized him without holding back, delivering a brutal beating followed by a spinning kick.
Zhu Wanchun flew like a cannonball, eventually crashing into a wall a hundred meters away. The impact created a hole, and he disappeared from sight. From afar, it was evident that a building couldn't withstand the force and crumbled in a collapse.
Li Feng retracted his foot.
Looking at the vanished Zhu Wanchun, this Zhu Batian was tougher than expected. Li Feng's Domineering Purple Flame had devoured a large amount of his Golden Core Power, aiming for his Dantian Qi Sea, but unexpectedly, Zhu Wanchun's Dantian Qi Sea was also protected by a Golden Bell.
The Domineering Purple Flame could not break through the Golden Bell Shield immediately, and Li Feng didn't have time to continue the stalemate with this Zhu Batian, so he retracted the Purple Flame and sent him flying instead.
Li Feng turned to look at the three women of Zi Yan, who, seeing the situation, jogged over.
Li Feng directly said, "Let's leave here first."
Okay.
The three women nodded and quickly followed Li Feng away.
In the distance, disciples of the Vajra Sect looked at each other, watching Li Feng and his group depart quickly. One person swallowed hard.
"Was our Sect Master defeated?"
"Um, it seems so."
"Our Sect Master isn't dead, is he?"
The group exchanged glances. In West City, the annexation of sects was almost routine; today one rises, tomorrow another falls, though those were usually minor forces.
The Vajra Sect was notable in West City, and Sect Master Zhu Wanchun was an experienced Golden Core practitioner. After his recent retreat, Zhu Wanchun had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.
Initially, they planned to attend the Oiran Festival at the Flowers Pavilion and perhaps show off a bit, but just as they were about to set off, they encountered some people trespassing in their sect's territory.
Li Feng, with the three Zi Yan women, quickly weaved through the streets and alleyways, and White Tiger Avenue was in sight. Suddenly, Li Feng stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?"
Zi Yan, following behind, also stopped and asked Li Feng.
"There's something lively ahead."
"Oh."
Xiao Luobing tilted her head in curiosity, indeed hearing some noisy sounds. It was unusual, as traversing West City, apart from the earlier group, they hadn't encountered anyone. The word 'noisy' seemed out of place with West City.
"I do hear the sounds of tinkering and plenty of people."
"Actually, I also felt something was off earlier. Given that we've ventured so deep into West City, how could we have only encountered that one group? Even if West City is desolate, it's not likely that they wouldn't encounter anyone else." Zi Yan also frowned and said.
"It's the Oiran Parade."
At this moment, Ran Yue suddenly slapped her forehead.
"Oiran Parade?"
The trio of Li Feng looked at Ran Yue, who nodded and said, "Yes, it's one of West City's annual celebrations, held by the Flowers Pavilion, and the parade is the most important part of it, one of the few events in West City."
"So on this day, nearly everyone in West City participates to catch a glimpse of the beautiful women vying for the title of Oiran, some even casting a vote."
"Oh."
Li Feng, hearing Ran Yue's explanation, had a rough idea. Like the Death Arena, the Flowers Pavilion was a specially established place with a unique status, where fighting was forbidden inside.
Of course, to manage such a prohibition against fights, a formidable presence is essential, and the owner of the Flowers Pavilion is also a woman, similar to the shopkeeper Tong at Tongfu Inn. The strength of the Flowers Pavilion owner is not to be underestimated.
The whole West City shows her some respect because she doesn't just represent herself; it's said there's a connection to the Upper Three Rings behind her.
"The Oiran Parade is no hindrance to us. We should blend into the crowd and then proceed straight down White Tiger Avenue to leave." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The three women of Zi Yan nodded in agreement, knowing that no one would risk embarrassing the Flowers Pavilion by causing trouble during the parade.
The four of them proceeded from the alleyway to a main road, which connected to the main street of White Tiger Avenue.
At this moment, the street was packed, with people lining both sides, and the shops and buildings on both sides were crowded as well.
"Here they come, here they come."
"I heard there's something special about this year's Oiran competition."
"Special? What's special? Aren't they just introducing some new beauties with decent looks? I've seen all shapes and sizes; honestly, it's a bit visually overwhelming."
"Yeah, that's true. The Flowers Pavilion's Oiran competition kicked off three months ago. While there are a few eye-catching ones, honestly, they're not that much different from previous years. Not many stand out looks-wise."
"It might be the same old thing, lacking novelty." Someone nearby nodded in agreement. Despite West City's desolation, it had two notable hubs of extravagance, famous in Ancestor Dragon City.
One was the Duel Arena, known for allowing betting and gambling, and the other was the Flowers Pavilion, where beauties competed fiercely, skilled in music, poetry, and the arts, excelling even in dance and song.
However, the Flowers Pavilion wasn't a vulgar place; although one could get close to a beauty, it required a mutual affinity, much like a tortoise admiring a pea.
"Friend, your information isn't cutting it. I have a buddy who works as a helper in the Flowers Pavilion, and he tells me there's a surprise in this year's Oiran contest."
"A surprise? What kind of surprise?"
"Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us. You're not just bluffing, are you?"
"Exactly."
When those around expressed doubt, the person said, "Ahem, then you should listen. According to my friend, this time there will be beauties from outside participating."
"You're saying there are beauties from outside?"
"No way. Isn't it common knowledge that outside beauties are long swayed by prestigious families? How could they end up at the Flowers Pavilion?"
"You may not know this, but it seems the Flowers Pavilion owner ran into them on a recent trip outside and brought them back."
"However, I reckon these beauties won't stay long; they might be taken away after the Oiran competition. So seize the opportunity while you can."
"Beauties from outside, huh? We haven't seen that for years; we definitely have to check it out."
