Chapter 727: Reunion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Six months later, at the imperial capital of the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation.
“This Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation is much more prosperous than the Blood Mountain Empire.”
Chu Zhou walked on the lively long street and looked at the living beings of the various races coming and going. In a short while, he met three to four World Overlords.
A moment later, he stopped in front of a majestic building.
He looked up and saw a huge stone tablet.
The words “Nine Mountains Dojo” were engraved on the stone tablet.
“Aunt and sister, are you cultivating here?”
He stared at the words as he thought to himself “Nine Mountains Dojo” and immediately felt a vast and majestic power of will.
Almost instantly, he determined that it was the power of a Venerable’s will.
“Friend, the stone tablet contains the willpower of the king of our Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation. It’s best if you don’t stare at it for too long. Otherwise, your soul will be damaged!”
A valiant red-clothed woman walked over and kindly reminded him.
“Thanks for the warning.”
Chu Zhou looked away from the stone tablet and thanked the woman in red with a smile.
When the woman in red saw the calm expression of the young man in front of her, she could not help but be slightly shocked.
This stone tablet contained the power of the king’s will. When creatures below the Venerable realm stared at the stone tablet, their consciousness would be greatly suppressed.
As long as he stared at it for more than three seconds, his soul would be affected.
She observed the young man in front of her and stared at the stone tablet for at least five seconds before kindly reminding Chu Zhou.
However, he realized that this young man’s expression was calm and unaffected.
This meant that this young man was either a Venerable himself, or his soul was shockingly powerful.
Venerables were elusive figures in the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation.
She didn’t believe that she would encounter a Venerable so easily.
Then there was only one possibility—the soul of this young man in front of him was terrifyingly powerful.
When did our Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation have such a prodigy? I actually don’t know him.
The woman in red thought this in her heart, but she smiled and said, “My name is Nine Mountains Hong Lian. How should I address you, friend?”
“Chu Zhou!” Chu Zhou smiled.
Chu Zhou? Why is this name so familiar?
“Brother Chu, you don’t look familiar. You shouldn’t be a student of the Nine Mountains Dojo, right?” Hong Lian muttered in his heart.
“Indeed not.” Chu Zhou nodded. “I’m here to look for someone!”
“Who are you looking for?” Nine Mountains Hong Lian said, “I am a student here. Basically, I know everyone in the Nine Mountains Dojo. Perhaps, I can help you!”
Chu Zhou did not hide anything and said, “I’m looking for two people. One is called Chu Qingge, and the other is called Chu Yu!”
“What? You’re looking for Teacher Qingge and Sister Chu Yu?”
Nine Mountains*Hong Lian was shocked.
When she thought of Chu Zhou’s surname, she immediately had a guess about Chu Zhou’s relationship with Chu Qingge and Chu Yu.
“You know them?”
Chu Zhou was a little surprised.
“More than that… Forget it, wait here for a moment. I’ll tell them about your situation immediately.”
With that, Nine Mountains Hong Lian turned into an afterimage and flew into the Nine Mountains Dojo.
Chu Zhou looked at Ninth Mountain Hong Lian’s back thoughtfully.
Nine Mountains was the surname of the royal family of the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation.
It was very likely that Hong Lian was a member of the royal family of the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation.
A moment later, three figures flew out of the Nine Mountains Dojo.
“Big Brother!”
Chu Yu looked at the familiar figure and was overjoyed. She opened her arms and flew over.
“Xiaoyu?”
Chu Zhou looked at the beautiful girl who was pouncing over and instantly recognized her as his younger sister, Chu Yu.
Even though she was now an adult and her appearance was very different from back then.
He opened his arms and hugged the girl. He spun a few times before putting her down.
“Big Brother, I missed you so much!” Chu Yu hugged Chu Zhou’s arm and said excitedly.
“Me too!” Chu Zhou smiled.
He had been separated from his sister, Chu Yu, for almost 40 years.
All these years, he had been worried that his sister would not have a good life.
Fortunately, from the looks of it, it seemed to be not bad.
“Eh, you’re already at the Ninth level Star Realm. Your improvement is not bad!”
Chu Zhou reached out and rubbed his sister’s head like he did on Earth until her hair was messed up.
“Big Brother, this little improvement of mine is nothing compared to you. Don’t think that I don’t know about you! Your matter is now spreading everywhere on the Mirror Image Network…”
Chu Yu mumbled as she allowed the palm on her head to knead her hair into a cornbread. Familiar memories surfaced and she felt a sense of warmth and peace in her heart.
“Little Zhou, I didn’t expect you to come and find us first.”
Chu Qingge walked over and smiled.
“I originally wanted to bring Xiaoyu to the Mirror Universe corporation headquarters to look for you after I was done with my matters!”
Chu Zhou did not find it strange that Chu Qingge knew that he was at the Mirror Universe corporation’s headquarters.
Just as his sister, Chu Yu, had said, his matter was now being uploaded everywhere on the Mirror Universe network.
His information was not a secret.
“I just found out about you guys…” Chu Zhou smiled.
“Little Zhou, I really didn’t expect you to achieve so much in just 40 years!”
Chu Qingge recalled everything she had found out about Chu Zhou on the Mirror Universe’s network and sighed.
Back on Earth, she had already seen how heaven-defying her nephew was.
However, she never expected Chu Zhou to still be so heaven-defying after stepping into the universe.
“It’s just luck…” Chu Zhou smiled humbly.
“Alright, let’s go to my place first! This is not a suitable place to talk.”
As Chu Qingge spoke, she brought Chu Zhou into the Nine Mountains Dojo.
Chu Yu chuckled and hugged Chu Zhou’s arm. He kept telling Chu Zhou about his experiences in the Nine Mountains Dojo.
Ninth Mountain Hong Lian looked at Chu Zhou’s back and was completely stunned.
At this moment, she finally remembered who Chu Zhou was.
She tapped on the screen of the armguard on her left arm, and a photo appeared with some relevant information.
She looked at the photo and then at Chu Zhou’s back view, her expression becoming more and more shocked.
“As expected… it’s him!” She muttered to herself.
“Chu Zhou, King Bei Cang’s personal disciple. The current number one prodigy of the human race is actually Teacher Qingge’s nephew, Xiaoyu’s brother…”
“…This, this is too shocking.”
Ninth Mountain*Hong Lian’s emotions were surging, she could not control herself.
Then, her eyes lit up.
Recently, Teacher Qingge had been in trouble. However, if Chu Zhou was willing to help, it should be easy to resolve the trouble.
Not long after Chu Zhou and the other two entered the Nine Mountains Dojo, an imposing golden-robed young man walked over.
“Qingge!” The golden-robed young man greeted Chu Qingge warmly. Then, her gaze landed on Chu Zhou. “Who is this?”
Seeing the golden-robed young man, Chu Yu immediately pouted, as if she was very displeased with him.
Chu Qingge’s face darkened.
“Who he is is none of your business!”
As Chu Qingge spoke, she led Chu Zhou and Chu Yu past the golden-robed young man and walked forward.
The golden-robed young man’s face stiffened.
Chu Zhou and the others quickly walked away.
The golden-robed young man looked at the backs of Chu Zhou and the other two. His face was ashen as he clenched his fists.
After walking far away, Chu Zhou asked Chu Qingge curiously, “Aunt, who was that person just now? Do you hold a grudge against him?”
Before Chu Qingge could answer, Chu Yu rushed to say,
“Big Brother, that person’s name is Nine Mountains* Bai Li. He’s a refined sc.u.m.”
“How is it a sc.u.m technique?” Chu Zhou asked.
“He’s the most famous lecher in the capital. Fie has more than 100,000 wives and concubines. Moreover, many of them were forcefully s.n.a.t.c.hed by him with his status…”
“…There are many infamous slave-catching teams under him. They’re here to help him capture beauties on various weak planets.”
“The most crazy thing is that after they s.n.a.t.c.h the beauties from those planets, they will reduce all the other humans on those planets to slaves and sell them to interstellar slave traders.”
Chu Yu said through gritted teeth.
Chu Zhou frowned.
He is indeed a sc.u.mbag.
“If that’s all, it has nothing to do with us. However, what’s annoying is that this sc.u.m actually has his eyes on Aunt now. He said that he wants to marry Aunt as his official wife.”
“Pfft, Aunt is our Nine Mountains Dojo’s celebrity mentor and the First Elder’s personal disciple. Who cares about that sc.u.m?”
“However, that person was too shameless. Even though Aunt explicitly rejected him, he hara.s.sed Aunt again and again. Furthermore, he even publicized the fact that he wanted to pursue Aunt and embarra.s.sed her.” Chu Yu said hatefully.
“He deserves to be killed!”
When Chu Zhou heard this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
“Xiao Zhou, don’t do anything rash!”
Chu Qingge sensed Chu Zhou’s killing intent and hurriedly said:
“Nine Mountains Bai Li’s ident.i.ty is not simple. Otherwise, he would have been exterminated long ago after doing so many evil things.”
Chu Zhou asked, “Who is he?”
“His father is the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation’s most powerful Prince. His status in the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation is second only to the King.” Chu Qingge explained.
“Is Nine Mountains*Yan Ri a Venerable?” Chu Zhou asked casually.
“No!” Chu Qingge rolled her eyes at Chu Zhou. “Do you think it’s so easy to become a Venerable? In our Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation, there’s only one Venerable in the royal family, and that’s the king.”
“However, even though Nine Mountains Yan Ri isn’t a Venerable, according to my teacher, he’s already half a step into the Venerable realm and can become a Venerable at any time.”
“Therefore, in the Nine Mountains Cosmic Nation, almost no one dares to provoke Nine Mountains*Yan Ri. Even so, no one dares to provoke Nine Mountains*Bai Li.”
“He’s not a Venerable… Then there’s nothing worth paying attention to,” Chu Zhou said indifferently.
Chu Qingge was slightly stunned. Only then did she remember that the nephew beside her was now the number one prodigy of the Human Race.
He even declared that he was invincible among World Overlords.
Compared to his nephew, the Nine Mountains Yan Ri, who was not a Venerable yet… did not seem to be worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingge felt as if a huge rock was missing from her heart. She felt as if all the pressure was gone.
Perhaps, the predicament she had faced during this period of time could be easily resolved by this nephew of hers.
Nine Mountains*Bai Li had been watching Chu Zhou and the others from afar until they completely disappeared.
“Chu Qingge, how dare you ignore me?”
His face was gloomy and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
If his father, Ninth Mountain*Yan Ri had not repeatedly reminded him that Chu Qingge was important and that he absolutely could not use force on her. Why would he play a game of courtship with Chu Qingge?
He had long been suppressed and forcefully subdued.
“Chu Qingge, that old witch, Ninth Mountain*Yin Lan is seriously injured and on the verge of death. I don’t think she can hold on for much longer… Hmph, when that old witch dies, I’ll see who can still protect you!”
Ninth Mountain*Bai Li thought to himself, his gaze cold and vicious.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his face was filled with killing intent.
The young man who followed Chu Qingge just now seemed to be very important to Chu Qingge… Yes, it was inconvenient to use force on Chu Qingge, but there was no need to be so polite to that young man.
He wanted to get someone to capture that young man and see where he came from.
Then, he would destroy it again.
This was also a warning to Chu Qingge, letting her know that he, Ninth Mountain* Bai Li, was not someone to be trifled with..
