Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Zhang Xian’s Death, You are Biased_1

The First Elder turned his head, his pupils violently narrowed, and he scurried off in one direction like a gecko.

Blood Soul saw this and quickly moved, blocking the path of the First Elder.

Chills ran down the First Elder’s spine as he felt a sense of foreboding. With his path forward blocked, he gritted his teeth and quickly tumbled away towards another direction.

"You can’t escape."

Like a persistent itch in one’s bone, Zhang Xian pursued, slamming a palm into the First Elder’s back.

This palm strike contained all his strength.

"Puh..." The First Elder spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and immediately a wave of weakness washed over him. At this moment, he could sense his life force rapidly draining away.

He glanced back at Zhang Xian, wanting to say something, but ultimately fell helplessly to the ground, his intense regret evident.

The Grandmaster Realm powerhouse of the Nangong Family died tragically under the combined assault of a young man and a corpse, without even having the chance to show off his breakthrough on the very day it happened.

"The First Elder..."

The crowd from the Nangong Family let out a cry of alarm. Their First Elder had fallen. The irony of it all was pretty damn harsh!

"Your First Elder has already met his maker," Zhang Xian turned back, looking at the Nangong Family crowd.

Under Zhang Xian’s gaze, the crowd of the Nangong Family felt as if they had plunged into an abyss, as if they had one foot in the underworld, with the boundless darkness ready to swallow them whole at any moment.

"To tell the truth, I have no interest in killing insignificant people like you."

Zhang Xian said with a cold smile, "Your First Elder should have a secret room, right? Take me there. Anyone who dares to disobey will only meet death."

"I will take you there," Nangong Wenhuo stepped forward.

Zhang Xian glanced at Nangong Wenhuo and nodded, "Good, lead the way."

Nangong Wenhuo turned and walked ahead.

Zhang Xian followed behind him with Wang Feng and Blood Soul in tow. They quickly arrived at the back of the Nangong mansion.

The Nangong mansion was built into the side of a mountain with a huge, jagged rock formation at the back. The First Elder’s secret room was located in a large cave beneath this rock formation.

"It’s in here," Nangong Wenhuo said: "Usually, this is a forbidden area for our Nangong Family. Nobody besides the First Elder is allowed to step in, not even the Second or Third Elders. Our Nangong Family is just this selfish, always prioritizing self-interest over the benefit of the family."

"I’ll go in and take a look." Zhang Xian had no interest in the internal affairs of the Nangong Family. He smiled and stepped into the cave.

The cave was rather simple, with no modern conveniences. This showed that the First Elder was indeed dedicated to his cultivation. His achievements today were no accident.

There was a stone bed, a table, a cabinet; these were all the things in the cave, all simple and crude.

Zhang Xian scanned the room with his spiritual sense, a smile creeping up his face. He walked to the cabinet and picked up a wooden box, "This could be useful."

"What’s this?" Wang Feng asked curiously.

Zhang Xian smiled, "A good thing. It might be of some use to me. As for the rest, it’s no use to me."

After inspecting the room, Wang Feng gave a bitter smile. "This guy seemed rather poor, I didn’t find anything good either."

"Let’s go!" After putting the wooden box into his storage ring, Zhang Xian exited the cave.

Nangong Wenhuo hesitated a moment before following Zhang Xian out and asked, "Zhang Xian, could you do me a favor? I want to take control of the Nangong Family. The current state of the family is a mess."

"Sure." Zhang Xian nodded.

Nangong Wenhuo thanked him, "You being friends with Xiao Wu is the best luck she’s had in her many lives."

Zhang Xian smiled but didn’t respond.

Once outside, he called all the members of the Nangong Family and declared with authority, "From now on, Nangong Wenhuo is your Family Head. If anyone disobeys or dares to collude against him, I will come find you. Remember, from now on, the Nangong Family will only have Nangong Wenhuo’s voice."

The members of the Nangong Family were surprised and a bit angry. An outsider had dared to unilaterally decide their Family Head. This was an absolute disgrace for the Nangong Family.

However, they had already experienced Zhang Xian’s strength and didn’t dare to resist, even though they were angry.

"I hope you will behave."

With a cold smile, Zhang Xian didn’t bother with them anymore. He left flamboyantly and majestically with Wang Feng and Blood Soul.

"Everyone, go back in!"

Nangong Wenhuo smiled, "You heard Zhang Xian’s words just now. I don’t need to repeat what will happen if you don’t behave. Now, let’s start making family rules."

...

TianDu City, Lingxiao Villa, in a secret chamber.

Zhang Xian, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, a streak of brilliance flashing in his irises.

After obtaining two medicinal herbs from the Nangong Family, he immediately refined two batches of pills upon returning to his meditation chamber. One batch was Ascension pills, while the other was a single Golden Origin Pill.

With the assistance of the Golden Origin Pill, he had reached the peak of the Tier Six Body Refinement Realm and was just one step away from the Tier Seven Celestial Body Refinement Realm. His personal strength had also grown significantly.

Now, he could easily face an average Grandmaster Realm powerhouse.

Regrettably, he still couldn’t use the Ascension pills he had. This pill could only be ingested by someone at Tier Three Body Refinement Realm, anyone below that couldn’t bear its immense medicinal power.

Breaking through to the Tier Three Body Refinement Realm and then consuming an Ascension pill would allow someone with not too shabby talent to reach the Tier Five Body Refinement Realm in a short time.

"Let’s go and have a look."

Smiling, Zhang Xian rose to his feet and headed outdoors.

Upon arriving at the villa, he was somewhat taken aback to find that several of the girls were in the living room and Mo Shaoyun had even advanced from the Tier Two Body Refinement Realm into the third tier.

This girl’s talent seemed better than he had expected. Fu Meiting, Dong Qian, Zhu Qing, and Xiao Nan had all reached the Tier Two Body Refinement Realm and were not far from the third tier.

"Not bad. You’ve already made a start, and Elder Sister Shaoyun even possesses the strength of the Innate Realm," Zhang Xian remarked with a smile.

When he was training in the past, he had to rely solely on himself, taking it one step at a time. Now, with the aid of pills, the girls’ progress was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Now Mo Shaoyun was able to consume the Ascension Pill. Without any unexpected obstacles, breaking through to the Tier Five Body Refinement Realm would not be a problem. This meant that Mo Shaoyun had entered the Innate Realm within a month’s time.

"Brother Zhang Xian, you’re out?" Dong Qian enquired with a smile when she saw him.

Zhang Xian smiled and walked into the villa, laughing as he said, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, come with me for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Mo Shaoyun raised an eyebrow but still followed Zhang Xian upstairs.

"Elder Sister Shaoyun..."

Zhang Xian took out an Ascension Pill and said, "Take this. I’m going to help you refine it. You should be able to step into the Tier Five Body Refinement Realm directly."

"Really?" Mo Shaoyun asked with surprise.

After a period of cultivation, she had found that progress was increasingly tough and slow as she progressed. She was astonished when Zhang Xian told her that a single pill could help her leap two realms.

"Of course." Zhang Xian nodded.

Mo Shaoyun said, "I already feel that it’s getting harder as I progress. Is this pill reliable?"

"Sweat..."

Zhang Xian was speechless, he laughed and said, "My sister, you have broken through to the Tier Three Body Refinement Realm within just one month. What more do you want? Do you know how long it took me to get from Tier One to Tier Three? It took me two whole years! You have many pills to aid your cultivation. Are you still not satisfied? Are you trying to take my life?"

Mo Shaoyun asked with surprise, "You... It took you two years?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Xian somberly smiled, "When I was cultivating before, I was exploring slowly on my own. It’s different for you; you have all sorts of pills assisting you."

Mo Shaoyun glanced at Zhang Xian, her pretty face flushed, and she was extremely embarrassed.

"Let’s begin!" Zhang Xian said.

Mo Shaoyun nodded, took the Ascension Pill, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Zhang Xian watched from the side, ready to lend a hand at any moment.

A Tier Three Body Refinement Realm practitioner like Mo Shaoyun would find it a slightly difficult to consume the Ascension Pill. The most suitable would be at the Tier Four Body Refinement Realm.

However, with him around, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Time ticked away.

By late afternoon, Mo Shaoyun opened her eyes, a smile spreading across her lovely face.

"Tier Five Body Refinement Realm, not bad." Zhang Xian smiled, "Now you, are already equivalent to an Innate master. In this city, people with your strength are quite rare."

Mo Shaoyun asked excitedly, "Really? So, are you saying that I’m now quite strong? I feel like I have endless strength!"

"Your strength is indeed not bad, whether you’re good at fighting, I can’t say." Zhang Xian said, "All of you lack practical battle experience. In a real fight, your strength will be much affected. In the future, when you have time, you should practice more with Elder Sister Yao Rao and the others to gain some battle experience. Sometimes, the battle experience is more important than strength."

"Okay." Mo Shaoyun nodded.

Zhang Xian said, "You should have dinner soon, so go downstairs first."

Watching Zhang Xian’s retreating figure, Mo Shaoyun bit her lip and quickly followed him.

"What were you doing?"

Fu Meiting saw Zhang Xian and Mo Shaoyun coming down the stairs, crossed her arms, and laughed, "You’ve been up there all afternoon. You weren’t up to anything, were you?"

"What if we were?"

Mo Shaoyun looked at Fu Meiting, "I was with my husband. Is it any of your business?"

"Uh..." Fu Meiting was stunned.

She found that Mo Shaoyun’s words were surprisingly bold, which was not like Mo Shaoyun’s style at all! Could it be that Zhang Xian had really made a breakthrough with the virgin Mo Shaoyun?

Generally speaking, girls blossom into an open-minded woman after they lose their virginity. The current Mo Shaoyun seemed very much like this.

Zhu Qing, Dong Qian, and Xiao Nan also looked at Mo Shaoyun with surprise.

"Why... Why are you all looking at me?"

Mo Shaoyun realized that she had misspoke and quickly said, "Zhang Xian and I had important business upstairs. As you all know, I’ve already broken through to the fifth tier."

"What? No way!" Fu Meiting’s eyes widened, "How is that possible? Weren’t you only at the third tier? How could you progress so rapidly?"

Mo Shaoyun said, "That is a secret."

"Damn Zhang Xian..."

Fu Meiting was dissatisfied, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t play favourites? Why is it different for Mo Shaoyun?"
