Chapter 96: If Fate Allows, We Shall Meet Again
The scorching heat hit his face, the robust Spiritual Energy carrying a blazing airflow that nearly left Guan Zhendong unable to breathe.
Tang Rao's fist grew from far to near.
"Boom!"
A strong impact deformed Guan Zhendong's face.
Yes, Tang Rao's fist stopped half a meter away from his head.
The moment it stopped, Guan Zhendong felt as if he heard the roar of a giant dragon from ancient times, the shock making him tremble with fear.
On Tang Rao's fist, it seemed like a dragon was perched, clawing and snapping at him.
Seeing the fear in Guan Zhendong's eyes, Tang Rao grinned.
Then, he slowly retracted his aura and his fist.
Of course, he could have smashed Guan Zhendong to a pulp with one punch, but that wouldn't have been fun.
This was Lei Li's vengeance, he had already helped Lei Li to cultivate her Spirit Root. Thus, this vendetta, Lei Li should personally exact.
Moreover, so many cameras captured me driving in. If I just killed Guan Zhendong like that, I'd have to spend every day on the run from the police.
"Wow, your strength is really not bad." Tang Rao stepped back a few steps, hands tucked into his waistband, speaking to Guan Zhendong.
It was only at this moment that Guan Zhendong came back to his senses, not understanding why Tang Rao had not smashed with that punch.
At least, Tang Rao could have disabled him, but he didn't.
"I said, I'm here for compensation for emotional distress. So, can you give it now?" Tang Rao asked with a smile while looking at Guan Zhendong.
Guan Zhendong's mind was in complete disarray, his usual calm and intelligence long gone.
He couldn't fathom Tang Rao's intentions, what exactly did this guy mean?
Could it really be, as he said, just to extort something?
"What... do you want?" Guan Zhendong finally spoke.
Hearing Guan Zhendong speak, Tang Rao immediately burst into laughter.
"Well, since we are both Cultivators, I won't beat around the bush. You surely have a room where you store Cultivation materials, right? Take me there to have a look, I promise, I won't take everything." Tang Rao said.
Guan Zhendong took a deep breath, Tang Rao was indeed ruthless.
Not taking everything… leaving me a blade of grass still counts as not taking everything.
"Come with me." But still, Guan Zhendong compromised, helplessly, the situation was stronger than him.
In just a few minutes, Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai followed Guan Zhendong into a room.
Inside the room, all the walls were covered with wooden lattices, each lattice storing items, and the outside of each lattice even had labels.
Ye Xiaobai was shocked, so many!
Tang Rao wasn't inexperienced, but at this moment, his expression was similar to Ye Xiaobai's.
In this room, Tang Rao felt numerous streams of Spiritual Energy dissipating.
Even some fluctuations of the soul. What did this imply? It implied that besides countless Spirit Plants, there were also items that could enhance the strength of the soul.
To be honest, even when he became King of One Realm in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, Tang Rao had never owned so many items.
The resources on Blue Star were too abundant, so abundant that Tang Rao felt it unreal.
Resources for a peak Qi Gathering Martial Artist somehow matched those for a Transcendance Tribulation Stage strongman in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms.
Tang Rao felt like he had lived in vain in the Seventy-two Domains.
Of course, after the shock came endless disdain.
So many good things here and you're still in the Qi Gathering stage, I can't help but admire you.
Of course, Tang Rao probably also knew why the abundant resources of Blue Star led to slow Cultivation progress, because their Cultivation techniques were too outdated and primitive.
The pace of gathering Qi was one percent of the normal speed and severely lacked systematic experience.
Tang Rao can responsibly say that, even if he gathered all the cultivators in Tiandu, no one could clearly explain how to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Indeed, they didn't even have a concept of how to perform Foundation Establishment.
...
An hour later, Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai were both gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.
Tang Rao did not empty Guan Zhendong's room, and of course, it was impossible to move everything to the car. Tang Rao only picked the useful and rare items, ultimately stuffing the car full.
Apart from the two front seats, every other space was crammed full.
"You are truly a good person, hope we meet again if fate allows!" Tang Rao sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and said to Guan Zhendong.
Guan Zhendong: "..."
"Let's go." Tang Rao put the car in reverse and floored the accelerator, the car flew backwards out of the villa's wall, then swiveled around.
Boom!
The huge Cadillac Escalade once again sped through the yard, over the grass and little ants, and sped away into the distance.
...
From the moment they left the villa, Ye Xiaobai had been silent, quietly sitting in the passenger seat.
"Xiao Bai, why aren't you talking?" Tang Rao turned his head and asked.
Ye Xiaobai looked at Tang Rao, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He had previously intended to make Tang Rao his subordinate, even before Tang Rao came to find Guan Zhendong.
But now, Ye Xiaobai thought that his plan was freaking ridiculous.
Ridiculously funny.
Thinking of making someone who could overwhelm cultivators at the peak of qi gathering his subordinate, he must have been crazy.
"Tang Rao, tell me honestly, did you receive the true transmission of any sect?" Ye Xiaobai asked seriously, as that was the only explanation he could think of.
"Do you want the truth or a lie?" Tang Rao smiled.
"Of course the truth."
"Sorry, we're not close enough for me to tell you that," Tang Rao grinned broadly.
"And the lie?" Ye Xiaobai asked.
"The lie is that I haven't received any sect's true transmission. I am a giant from the starry sky, I am a freak about to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, you are omnipotent, you mere mortals are just too pathetic in my eyes!" Tang Rao shouted loudly.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
Ye Xiaobai didn't know that Tang Rao's lie was actually the truth.
But then, who would believe it...
Giant from the starry sky, achieving enlightenment, those were things of legends.
Legends have never vanished in the long river of human history, but very few truly believe in them.
...
It was already past eleven at night when Tang Rao returned to the Bai Family residence, the yard was quiet and the lights dim.
As he was about to enter the courtyard where he lived, Tang Rao paused, stopping in his tracks.
"Skulking behind others is not a good habit," Tang Rao turned around, a shadow flickered weakly in the dim light and dappled tree shadows.
"Where is Gu Shengtai?" A cold, emotionless voice came.
Tang Rao's brow furrowed slightly, Gu Shengtai again?
What was the situation with this Gu Shengtai? What secrets did he hold?
First it was Huang Tianquan at the peak of qi gathering, now it was a man in black whose realm even Tang Rao couldn't fully discern.
"I really don't know about that, didn't find him, he might be dead," Tang Rao spread his hands and said.
"Speak, or die." The voice of the man in black drifted over, murderous intent surging.
