Chapter 554: Chapter 554: The Lord of the Joyous Union, Accurate Divination, Dong Qiang Gets Captured
As these words were spoken, the entire place was in an uproar.
Everyone present widened their eyes, finding it incredible.
The woman’s eyes lit up, “Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, your deduction is indeed correct.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Could it be that this woman knew whether her fiancé would die?
Li Qiankun nodded and said, “I had no choice, if my deduction is not wrong, then your fiancé will be assassinated and fall when he passes through this street today.”
“Brilliant!” The woman laughed, “You’re right, the assassin who will kill him is employed by me.”
“Hiss!”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
They say that a woman’s heart is the most poisonous. Previously, they did not believe this, thinking that all women were either gentle and lovely or cold and noble. How could they be so malicious?
Now that they saw for themselves, their worldviews were completely shattered.
Indeed, there were exceptionally vicious women in the world!
Clippity-clop!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves approached from nearby. Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a rough man with a scarred face riding a Spirit Horse at full speed, possessing the cultivation level of the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
“My fiancé has arrived.”
The woman whispered.
Everyone held their breaths.
They dared not take action or warn the horse-riding man; in the eyes of some, there was even a hint of anticipation.
“You wench, so you are here! This pavilion master has had such a hard time looking for you. Once I catch you today, I will make sure to cherish and love you well, hahaha!” The scarred man laughed uproariously upon seeing the woman.
“It’s the Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa!”
“This pervert!”
“It is said that this man likes to ruthlessly deflower, his methods are cruel, simply intolerable.”
“However, this man is too strong, almost invincible in the city. Even if this kind-hearted fairy hired an assassin, she may not be able to eliminate the Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa.”
Some recognized the scarred man.
They revealed his various misdeeds, filled with righteous indignation, and some people looked at the woman who hired the assassin with eyes full of sympathy.
Previously, they believed her to be malicious-hearted when they heard she hired an assassin to kill her fiancé.
But now, they saw that the woman was nothing short of a Heavenly Immortal!
Rip!
At this moment, from the dark alley corner, a black-clothed assassin suddenly burst out. He, too, had the aura of the Element Gathering Realm and wielding a sharp sword, stabbed towards the Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa.
“A mere Third Layer Peak of the Element Gathering Realm dares to be presumptuous, did you really think I didn’t know about you?” The Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa said with cold disdain.
Boom!
He suddenly burst out with the aura of the Fifth Layer Peak of the Element Gathering Realm, his heavy palm striking out explosively, shattering the assassin’s sword and imprinting on the man’s chest.
Splat!
The assassin spat blood upwards, fell to the ground, and died on the spot.
“Element Gathering Realm Fifth Layer Peak!”
The woman who hired the assassin turned pale, “Wasn’t he at the Fourth Layer before? How did he break through so much?”
“Heh heh, you wench, how could you ever fathom the cultivation level of this pavilion master?” The Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa sneered.
He looked around, his face ice-cold, causing the people to retreat in fear, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Yo, a soothsayer? I want to see if you can be accurate.” The Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa’s aura surged, pinning the woman who was only at the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm to the ground, immobilizing her.
Then he gripped the woman’s neck, looking down at Li Qiankun, “Kid, do a divination for this pavilion master. How many beauties will I be enjoying tonight?”
“Pervert!”
Hearing the Pavilion Master of Harmonious Union Villa’s request, everyone trembled with anger, finding him utterly repulsive.
Silence gradually fell over the street.
Everyone was holding their breath, looking at Li Qiankun.
“Not interested.”
At that moment, Li Qiankun spoke.
The reason he set up a stall for divination was that he found it too boring to always rely on the Deduction Technique to divine for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so he decided to do divinations for others to enhance his own Deduction Technique.
However, this did not mean he accepted every job.
“Not interested?” The Pavilion Master of Hehuan Pavilion smiled sinisterly, “Since that’s the case, this Pavilion Master will just have to kill you!”
He stretched out his other hand, with the peak aura of the Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm erupting in its entirety, ready to slap Li Qiankun to death.
Rip!
A silver claw pierced through the chest of Hehuan Pavilion’s Pavilion Master.
He lowered his head, looking at Long Tianxing who was not tall and had a cold face, not understanding why this seemingly harmless young man could be so terrifying as to instantly kill him.
Whoosh!
Long Tianxing withdrew his hand, his aura shocking, the claw untainted by any bloodstains. As for the Pavilion Master of Hehuan Pavilion, he had already collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Everyone present stared at this scene, speechless.
“Hmm, my deduction was not bad, the divination was accurate. Your fiancé was destined to die today, look, now he is indeed dead.”
At this moment, Li Qiankun said calmly, reaching out to pick up the middle-grade Spirit Stone that the woman had placed on the table.
At these words, the place fell deadly silent.
The woman stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.
But after thinking about it, it seemed Li Qiankun’s deduction was indeed not bad; her fiancé was already dead.
This divination, very precise!
“Thank you, senior!”
Realizing this, the woman immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing in gratitude to Li Qiankun and the others.
“Thank you, Immortal Master, for slaying the Pavilion Master of Hehuan Pavilion, for punishing the wicked and removing evil, please accept our bow!”
The onlookers also started to thank them reverently.
“No need for such formalities, everyone. I set up this stall to tell fortunes and help you all, however, fortune-telling still requires Spirit Stones, and I welcome everyone to seek my services for divination.”
Li Qiankun smiled at the crowd.
“Immortal Master, predict when I will become rich.”
“Immortal Master, calculate if the child in my wife’s womb is mine or belongs to the neighbor, Old Wang.”
“Immortal Master, calculate…”
After the matter with the Pavilion Master of Hehuan Pavilion, cultivators from the city heard the news and came, forming a long queue, asking Li Qiankun to tell their fortunes.
His business suddenly boomed.
Wang Ping’an, Long Tianxing, and Qiao Jiaxi all nodded, showing their admiration for Li Qiankun’s abilities, and then sat aside to take care of the money.
…
Southern River Basin.
Dong Qiang left Liuyun Sect to train in a mountain range.
He did not know that this area was coincidentally near the main base of Tianji Pavilion, and as soon as he entered this region, he was already being watched by Zhu Yongfu, who was hidden in the shadows.
“Pavilion Master, this person is Dong Qiang from Liuyun Sect, a genius on the list of prodigies, with tremendous strength. Why not subdue him to become a force for the development and expansion of our Tianji Pavilion?”
Zhu Yongfu immediately called for the Paper Fan Young Master.
On the meadow.
The Paper Fan Young Master, watching Dong Qiang search for Spiritual Medicine in the distance, suddenly closed his paper fan and said in a deep voice:
“This person practices dual cultivation of magic and body, he possesses notable strength. Compared to him, Xiao Fangu is nothing but trash. Such a talent must be subdued.”
Boom!
No sooner had he spoken than the Paper Fan Young Master personally made a move, the aura of the Spirit Sea Realm bursting forth, instantly subduing Dong Qiang.
“Who goes there?”
Dong Qiang’s complexion changed drastically, and he quickly followed his sense to look, only to see two people walking towards him at a leisurely pace.
One was a dandy with a lightly wavering paper fan.
The other was a portly middle-aged man, with sparse hair, a sleazy face, looking somewhat familiar, yet not at all like a good man.
“I am the Paper Fan Young Master, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion.”
The Paper Fan Young Master fluttered his fan, his hands forming seals, a finger pointed at Dong Qiang’s brow, and then, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
“Hiss!”
As if electrocuted, the Paper Fan Young Master retracted his hand, “Goodness, your sea of consciousness at the brow has the remnants of two old souls, one from Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm, the other a Demon King of the Spirit Sea Realm!”
“So that’s it! No wonder you suddenly rose to power,” Zhu Yongfu immediately realized upon hearing this.
“My secret is discovered, it’s over!”
Hearing this, Dong Qiang turned ashen-faced.
If he had known this danger would arise, he would never have come out to train.
