This is wrong.

That group of women intended to torture Zhou Ziming.

Now, they were instead being called bitches in heat.

Moreover, everything they were doing now did indeed fit that description.

This filled their hearts with incomparable rage.

"You slut, I'll kill you!"

One of the women reached the peak of her anger.

She directly influenced the textures to attack that love-struck woman.

But in the next second...

The love-struck woman merely shot a casual glance at her.

The woman was instantly imprisoned by Void Realm Textures.

"Able to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Textures... you are a powerhouse of the Second Step of Immortal Pattern!"

The woman's face turned deathly pale.

Facing a powerhouse of the Second Step of Immortal Pattern, she no longer had any intention of continuing her attack.

It wasn't just those women.

Even the man surrounded by them couldn't help but take another look at the love-struck woman.

Just this one look gave him a feeling of absolute stunning beauty.

The man's first thought was that he absolutely had to get his hands on this woman.

Thinking this...

The man pushed aside the women around him and walked straight toward the love-struck woman.

"I am Zhang Hongxuan. May I ask for your name, Fairy?"

Hearing the name Zhang Hongxuan, the love-struck woman finally took a proper look at the man.

"I know you. You're one of the villains standing against Zhou Ziming. It seems you've all gained some memories; the villains and the harem are working together to deal with Zhou Ziming!"

For a moment, the man fell silent.

Meanwhile, the confused bystanders all looked over.

The man suddenly burst out laughing.

"It seems you are also someone who has seen the future. In that case, why don't we cooperate!"

Zhou Ziming: "..."

He couldn't take it anymore.

"Look, buddy, do you really not see me as a person? You're plotting against me right in front of my face?"

The man frowned.

"When I'm speaking to a beautiful woman, please..."

*Pfft!*

Zhou Ziming directly chopped off the guy's head with a single sword strike.

"You're truly brave. When others plot against me behind my back, they're afraid of me finding out. You're actually plotting against me to my face?"

This villain died very abruptly, so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.

Those women hadn't even reacted yet.

Once they finally did...

They roared in anger.

"Zhou Ziming, why did you kill..."

Zhou Ziming cut them off with a question.

"Let me ask you, were you discussing with this guy how to plot against me?"

The women were furious.

"So what if we were!"

The corners of Zhou Ziming's mouth curled up slightly.

"As long as you admit it!"

Then, Zhou Ziming directly manipulated the Wind Texture.

A gust of wind blew past.

All those women had their Life Textures severed by the wind.

The women then died with faces full of astonishment.

They didn't understand even in death.

Why Zhou Ziming would strike the moment he said he would.

Moreover, when Zhou Ziming killed them, he didn't show the slightest hesitation or emotional fluctuation.

Is this person really Zhou Ziming?

Forget the dead women.

Even that love-struck woman's mind instantly cleared at this moment.

She looked at Zhou Ziming, her throat feeling a bit dry.

Wait...

Is this right?

There were no more women around Zhou Ziming.

She was very happy about that.

But seeing Zhou Ziming kill these women so ruthlessly made her a little afraid.

In her understanding...

Even if Zhou Ziming cut ties with these women, he wouldn't go as far as to kill them.

But now, her perception was being overturned.

"Are you really Zhou Ziming?"

Zhou Ziming rolled his eyes.

"What kind of question is that? If I'm not Zhou Ziming, are you?"

The love-struck woman shook her head.

"That's not what I meant. I mean, your handling of these people was unexpected!"

Zhou Ziming became curious.

"Then how do you think I should have handled them?"

The love-struck woman was silent for a long time before saying...

"At the very least, I thought you wouldn't kill them!"

Zhou Ziming waved his hand.

"I'm not as generous as you think!"

The love-struck woman then asked...

"If I were also plotting against you, what would you do!"

Zhou Ziming already began manipulating the Thunder Texture.

"Wait, I'm not! I said 'if'!"

Zhou Ziming frowned.

"Really not?"

The woman quickly explained.

"If I were really plotting against you, why would I have given you that Nine-Colored Immortal Pond!"

Zhou Ziming thought about it and felt that made sense.

Then, Zhou Ziming withdrew his hand.

The love-struck woman kept patting her chest.

She had realized it now.

If a true enemy was right before his eyes...

If Zhou Ziming hesitated for even a second, it would be a sign of self-disrespect.

But why was it like this?

Although Zhou Ziming no longer had a harem around him, he had also become heartless.

For some reason...

The woman felt a sharp pain in her heart.

As for the other Cultivators...

Since Zhou Ziming had killed those people, they didn't dare say much.

The man was at the Immortal Pattern Second Stage.

They were just a bunch of Immortal Pattern Stage One trash. Unless they had a death wish, they wouldn't dare criticize an Immortal Pattern Second Stage Cultivator.

But right at that moment...

Within the White Spirit Garden, immortal light soared into the sky.

Then, everyone saw a woman fly out from the immortal light and then instantly flee into the distance.

That was the Transformed Immortal Herb.

Everyone looked at Zhou Ziming and the love-struck woman beside him.

Zhou Ziming simply snapped his fingers.

Spatial Textures were instantly mobilized.

The flying Transformed Immortal Herb was instantly frozen in place.

The Immortal Herb struggled for a bit but found it couldn't escape.

The Immortal Herb couldn't help but say...

"Zhou Ziming, give up. I won't go with you. Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!"

Zhou Ziming was speechless.

That tone...

That look...

Good grief, the Original Owner really was someone who would hit on anything in existence.

He wouldn't even let an Immortal Herb off the hook.

Zhou Ziming couldn't be bothered to waste words with it.

He directly forced it back to its original form, turning it into an Immortal Herb.

Then he found a box and sealed it away.

"Nutjob. What I want is your Immortal Herb body. Who the hell wants your heart? That thing can't even be used in medicine!"

Zhou Ziming took the most valuable item.

Then he said to the group of Cultivators, "The rest is for you to split!"

After saying that, Zhou Ziming left.

Naturally, those people were grateful to Zhou Ziming.

However, someone quickly stopped Zhou Ziming.

"Senior, someone from the Insect Valley has arrived. His name is Gu Tianhe. He seems to have come specifically to target you."

Zhou Ziming was stunned for a moment.

He looked closely at the person.

"You're from the Green Bamboo Tower!"

The Disciple nodded.

"Indeed!"

Zhou Ziming became curious.

"Along the way, people from the Green Bamboo Tower, the Hibiscus Tower, and the Flower Rain Tower haven't shown me any ill-will. They've even helped me intentionally or unintentionally. Why? Or rather, what is your purpose?"

The Disciple was astonished.

"Senior doesn't know yet?"

Zhou Ziming: "???"

Then the man gave Zhou Ziming a slip of paper.

On it was written the relationship between the Nine Palaces and the Twelve Towers.

Cold Moon Palace: Flower Rain Tower, Hibiscus Tower, Green Bamboo Tower

Wuji Palace: Golden Rainbow Tower

Treasure Palace: Pearl Tower

Giant Spirit Palace: Taihe Tower, White Tiger Tower

Blazing Sun Palace: Vermilion Bird Tower

Myriad Phenomena Palace: Xuanwu Tower

Jade Dragon Palace: Azure Dragon Tower

Phantom Palace: Blood Rain Tower

Xuantian Palace: Tiangang Tower

"So, do you understand now?"

Zhou Ziming couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Holy cow. The Cold Moon Palace occupies three towers. This woman is truly formidable!"
