122: attack

“Senior, you’re back?”

As Helian Cheng entered his courtyard, a female voice came from the side.

Helian Cheng looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a Beautiful Woman gracefully walking towards him.

She wore a palace-style long dress that accentuated her voluptuous curves, with two prominent mounds on her chest that swayed as she walked.

A wicked smile appeared on Helian Cheng’s lips as he stepped forward, wrapped his arm around the Beautiful Woman’s waist, and his hand began to wander.

Now that the high-ranking members of the He family were all under his control, everything they possessed belonged to him.

Including their wives and daughters!

This woman was the Dao Companion of the current He family head.

Feeling the large hand behind her constantly moving, the Beautiful Woman’s body stiffened slightly, and her downcast eyes flickered with resentment and humiliation.

Only she knew the true nature of the Grand Elder, whom all He family Cultivators revered.

However, the lives of her husband and the He family’s high-ranking members were in this man’s hands, making her afraid to act rashly.

She could only grit her teeth and endure his humiliation, awaiting an opportunity for revenge.

Quickly suppressing the complex emotions in her eyes, she looked up, her face flushed, and said coquettishly.

“Senior, you’re so annoying~”

With Helian Cheng’s cultivation level, he naturally noticed the look in the Beautiful Woman’s eyes.

But he didn’t care; instead, he became even more excited, with the fires of desire constantly rising within him.

Thinking back to when he was a rogue Cultivator, constantly hiding and living such a bitter life!

Now, he also experienced the pleasure of a Ji Family Emperor.

Helian Cheng was deeply infatuated with his current life.

And it seemed that things were moving in a good direction.

Using the He family as a pretext, he had amassed a large amount of wealth and resources.

Now that his injuries had mostly recovered, once he resolved the abnormal symptoms and his cultivation returned to its Peak, he would embark on new conquests.

Perhaps one day in the future, he too could reach the pinnacle of Cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Region and become a Dominator of a region!

At that time, he would take revenge for all the grievances he had suffered!

Especially that ant!

Helian Cheng’s eyes gleamed with a sinister coldness.

Helian Cheng still harbored resentment towards this Cultivator who had escaped from his grasp and caused him such embarrassment.

He had never seen such a troublesome Qi Refining Cultivator.

However, thanks to him, he had found a broad path.

When he captured this person in the future, he would definitely ‘thank’ him properly!

‘I hope you can live until then; don’t make me feel too bored!’

A mocking smile hung on Helian Cheng’s lips.

He had already imagined the scene of the other party groveling and begging for mercy from him.

Thinking of this, he casually asked.

“By the way, have there been any developments regarding the information I asked you to inquire about?”

The Beautiful Woman was startled at first, then after careful recollection, she said uncertainly.

“Is it Han Feiyu from Heavenly Star Immortal City?”

“Hmm, what about him?”

“Replying to Senior, according to the information I’ve received, this person has recently begun attempting to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment…”

Boom!

Before she could finish speaking, a powerful killing intent erupted from Helian Cheng.

The Beautiful Woman, who was closest to him, instantly turned pale, immediately knelt down, trembling and not daring to look up.

Helian Cheng’s face was exceedingly gloomy.

Originally, having the He family inquire about Han Feiyu’s information was just a casual move.

He had never really taken him seriously.

A Qi Refining Cultivator, no matter how many tricks he had, could never truly compare to a great Foundation Establishment Cultivator; that was a difference like heaven and earth!

If Sikong Ming hadn’t interfered back then, the other party would not have escaped his grasp; it was only a matter of time.

But he never expected that in less than two years, the other party had already begun to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Why so fast?

Did the other party not get injured at that time?

But how could that be!

He was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; such an attack could not possibly leave him unscathed!

Helian Cheng’s sense of crisis surged.

Thinking about how difficult the other party was to deal with during the Qi Refining Stage, if he successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, wouldn’t that turn everything upside down!

At that time, would he really be confident in taking down this person?

Just thinking about how he had just fantasized about torturing the other party, Helian Cheng became furious.

He looked fiercely at the Beautiful Woman kneeling below.

He grabbed her hair and pulled her under him.

“I’m very angry right now!”

The Beautiful Woman cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at Helian Cheng piteously.

But as soon as she met Helian Cheng’s cold gaze, the Beautiful Woman shivered.

She dared not provoke this man now, so she could only force down the disgust in her heart and obediently comply.

A rustling sound came.

Helian Cheng’s eyes rolled back, and he let out a long breath, a look of enjoyment on his face.

However, just as he was enjoying himself, his expression suddenly changed.

“It’s happening again! It’s really ruining my mood!”

Feeling the abnormality in his body, Helian Cheng cursed inwardly.

This phenomenon had been occurring intermittently for the past two years, but he had grown accustomed to it.

He thought this time would be like usual, so he prepared to send the Beautiful Woman away and begin to regulate his Qi.

But his Qi suddenly became violent, chaotic and disordered magical power surged wildly within his body, and a strong tearing sensation spread throughout his body.

And this symptom continued to increase over time, becoming more and more intense.

Helian Cheng’s face changed drastically.

“Why is it so strong this time!”

He pushed away the articulate Beautiful Woman and stumbled towards his seclusion chamber.

However, a feeling of powerlessness came over him, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

“Pfft!”

With the fluctuating magical power in his body no longer suppressed, Helian Cheng could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His entire body involuntarily trembled and convulsed, and crystal-clear blood beads began to seep from his pores; in a short while, he became a bloodied person.

His aura also completely weakened.

“Magical power flowing backward, Meridians damaged, Dantian shattered, how could this happen!”

“No! Don’t continue! Ah ah ah!!!”

Helian Cheng’s face was filled with despair, and he roared like a madman, collapsing on the ground.

He didn’t understand why things had suddenly escalated to this point!

He had thought it would be like usual, but he never expected it to be so severe this time.

His vision of becoming a Dominator of the Southern Wilderness Region, his dream of the Golden Core, and his ambition to be an Emperor, all vanished into thin air as his Meridians and Dantian were damaged and shattered.

His Dao path…

Destroyed!!

The Beautiful Woman looked at this scene in a daze; he was fine just now, what kind of madness was this?

She had been serving Helian Cheng for some time, and Helian Cheng’s body seemed to have problems from time to time.

And whenever this happened, Helian Cheng would dismiss everyone and activate the Formation to go into seclusion for several days.

But it had never been as severe as today, even to the point where he couldn’t even drive her away before the onset.

After observing for a moment, seeing that Helian Cheng’s current state was not feigned, countless complex thoughts flashed through the Beautiful Woman’s mind.

Then, with a worried expression, she stepped forward, attempting to help Helian Cheng up, exclaiming in surprise.

“Ah! Senior, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”

“Get lost!”

Helian Cheng pushed away the Beautiful Woman’s hand that was trying to help him, roaring angrily.

Then he slapped the Beautiful Woman, sending her flying.
