The old woman's face was filled with determination. "It's alright, this old one only prays for Buddha to bless Fufu with a long life. Don't worry, this old one is not a bad person, I only wish for her to be healthy and safe."
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "People like you are truly rare! Rest assured, I will do my best!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately broke into a smile.
"I know. Entrusting it to you now, I hope you won't disappoint me."
"I will not fail your expectations." Zhou Xuan took the rare copy and turned to leave.
Fu Shan followed him out of the alley, his heart filled with confusion.
"Master, do we really have to go?"
"Yes, otherwise, how can I repay the old woman for the news about the wagtail grass?"
"This is called an equivalent exchange. Besides, I still have something to clarify."
Zhou Xuan had a faint feeling that the whereabouts of his parents' remains might be within reach.
Fu Shan's expression turned worried upon hearing this.
"Master, this..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm just going to take a look, nothing will happen."
"Alright then." Fu Shan could only compromise.
That evening, Zhou Xuan, carrying the rare copy, arrived at the place the old woman had mentioned. The scenery here was exceptionally beautiful.
Zhou Xuan found a secluded small path, placed the rare copy on the ground, and then sat down to rest.
For many days, Zhou Xuan had been searching for clues, but he remained without any leads. Finally, Zhou Xuan gave up on continuing.
He never expected that there would still be a chance to find the truth about his parents' remains.
He also knew that man's calculations could not overcome heaven's will.
"Forget it, I already have a lead. Even if these people are powerful, haven't I also been waiting for this day to arrive?"
Zhou Xuan stood up, preparing to head back.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from a distance.
Zhou Xuan immediately became alert, as the footsteps were very light, a sign that only a master could achieve.
Then, the footsteps gradually approached until they stopped.
Zhou Xuan did not act immediately, choosing to observe the situation.
A man in grey clothes walked over, holding two black beads in his hand.
Zhou Xuan was startled, because those two beads were Yin-Yang Beads.
"Who are you?" Zhou Xuan asked coldly, his gaze fixed on him.
"Heh heh, who I am is not important. What's important is that I've come to take your life!" The man snorted coldly.
Zhou Xuan was shocked. He never expected that this mission would be to kill him!
Does this mean that from the moment he set foot in the Qiu family's territory, these people had already discovered him?
Zhou Xuan secretly sent out all commands to the four great families!
The Qi Xuan elders, the Fang family, the Zhuge family, the Lu family, the Sun family, Black Tiger, the Xu family, and other forces all assembled to await orders!
"Lord Zhou is in danger, all personnel quickly gather at the Qiu family's territory in the neighboring city immediately!"
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Upon receiving Zhou Xuan's message, forces like Qi Xuan rushed to the Qiu family's territory in the neighboring city!
Zhou Xuan was utterly shaken. He thought he had hidden extremely well, but he was still discovered by the other party!
"Hahaha... Zhou Xuan, today is your day of death!" The grey-clothed man burst into laughter. "Don't think your cultivation techniques are amazing, but you are ultimately only at the Innate realm. If you didn't possess the Yin-Yang Dao Body, you would have long since died by my sword!"
Zhou Xuan's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Since that is the case, what are you waiting for?"
The grey-clothed man nodded. "Then I shall fulfill your wish and let you witness my true skills!"
The grey-clothed man stomped his right foot on the ground forcefully, and his entire body shot towards Zhou Xuan like a cannonball.
Zhou Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly used his movement technique to dodge.
He could clearly feel that the other party's strength was far superior to his own!
"Boom!" The grey-clothed man crashed heavily into the surrounding wall, causing it to instantly collapse.
"Hahaha, this skill of mine is called Vajra Arhat. It was passed down from a Vajra Arhat in the ancient era. Its defense is extraordinary, and even a master of the Innate realm cannot break through it. Today, I will let you taste my might!"
The grey-clothed man laughed heartily, stomped his right foot on the ground, and a faint yellow glow emanated from the twin beads in his hand.
The twin beads spun in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light, as if they were going to scorch one's eyes.
"Ah, it hurts so much..."
Zhou Xuan on the opposite side turned pale, clutching his eyes with both hands, yet he couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Hmph, you think you can block my move? Die!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan injured, the grey-clothed man was overjoyed. His figure suddenly accelerated, and he struck out with his palms repeatedly.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Three dull thuds were heard. Zhou Xuan's body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, finally crashing heavily against the wall before slowly landing, spitting blood continuously.
The grey-clothed man, however, stood unharmed in his original position.
"Pfft..."
A look of horror flashed across Zhou Xuan's face, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth. He looked at the man opposite him with utter fear.
"How can you be so strong? How is this possible?"
How could this be possible?
"You lost, Zhou Xuan. This is not a place you should have come to, and those grandmother and granddaughter are not people you can approach."
"Also, hand over what you have in your hand, and I can spare your life!"
Zhou Xuan finally understood why he had been exposed.
It turned out to be because of this rare copy.
It seemed these people also desperately wanted this item, but unfortunately, he possessed the Four Great Artifacts.
He only needed to find the other ring in his hand to refine the spatial killing techniques.
He put the rare copy behind him.
As if performing magic, he put the item into his spatial dimension.
Afterwards, he spread his hands towards the grey-clothed man and said, "Here, take a look. Where do you see any rare copy on me?"
"You! Where did you put the item?"
Zhou Xuan ignored him.
This fellow didn't know about the Four Great Artifacts, so he was definitely not a key figure.
He had been careless earlier; he hadn't expected this person to be so powerful.
It seemed he had become arrogant due to the lack of opponents recently.
The grey-clothed man was enraged.
A black light emanated from his body, and he himself leaped into the air, charging forward. The two round balls in his hands spun rapidly, emitting a piercing sound.
The figure flew closer and closer...
Seeing this, even Zhou Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
The black figure charged forward like a colossal beast, its speed utterly indescribable.
"Rumble!"
A deafening roar echoed, and dust flew everywhere.
"Ah!"
"It hurts so much..."
A sharp scream came from within the dust. A blood-red figure was smashed onto the ground, but he was still alive. However, his left arm had completely disappeared.
"So terrifying, what is this thing? It's so powerful!"
"You brat, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!"
The grey-clothed man's left arm was disarmed by Zhou Xuan.
It was truly ripped off.
"Yes, just like this. If you're angry, come and hit me then?" Zhou Xuan taunted.
The grey-clothed man: "..."
"Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan, you truly live up to your name as the Innate Dao Body."
