Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 55 – Gu Han, who feels guilty, and Tian Heng, who is furious!
"He...?"
Watching Gu Han disappear from sight, Jiang Feng was utterly baffled.
"Why did he run?"
"I don't know."
Manager Li pondered for a moment.
"Could it be... that Ah-Sha Girl's old problem flared up again?"
"Damn..."
Only Fatty.
Having been duped once before, his face instantly paled.
This scene... it felt eerily familiar!
"Run!"
Even though he didn't know what had happened, he had a premonition that staying any longer could spell disaster!
Whoosh!
Cursing under his breath, he too darted away without a trace.
"You bastard!"
"Stop right there, Fatty!"
"Did you do something shady again?!"
...
Treasure Pavilion.
On the fifth floor.
"Hehe."
Tian Heng gently caressed the surface of the Mysterious Stone, his mood couldn't be better.
"Trying to compete with me?"
"You're still too green!"
At this moment.
He was utterly convinced.
Gu Han must have a special method to detect what was inside the Mysterious Stone.
"Hmph, young and reckless, not knowing to hide your talents. If you hadn't flaunted and quietly taken those two Mysterious Stones back, no one would have known what you found! But now... today's events will serve as a lesson for you!"
"Unexpectedly!"
His gaze returned to the Mysterious Stone.
"My Treasure Pavilion actually possesses such a precious treasure!"
Swipe!
As he spoke, his hand swept across.
The stone skin on the surface of the Mysterious Stone flaked off in pieces.
"Let's see."
His hand didn't stop.
"What treasure is hidden inside!"
Very quickly.
Under the wash of his Spiritual Power, the Mysterious Stone was now only half its original size.
And his mood.
Grew more and more excited.
No matter what the treasure was, as long as he presented it, he would surely receive a tremendous reward. His status, his position... would be more than just a mere Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion!
A few breaths later.
The Mysterious Stone was less than a third of its original size.
It seemed...
He pondered secretly.
It wasn't a magical treasure or the like inside, it might be a medicinal pill, or possibly a cultivation technique.
A cultivation technique would be even better!
Before offering it up, he could take a peek himself!
Moments later.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
The Mysterious Stone was now only the size of a fist.
"This..."
His brow furrowed slightly, sensing something was amiss.
"No matter!"
He rallied his spirits and continued to peel away the stone skin.
"There must be a treasure inside!"
...
Treasure Pavilion.
In the main hall.
"I want this bottle of Qi Gathering Powder!"
"Don't snatch it, I saw it first!"
"Nonsense! I got it first, so it's mine!"
...
Various arguments, noises, and haggling filled the air, making the place even livelier than a mundane marketplace.
"Hehe."
In the quiet room.
Director Ma was all smiles.
He remembered that the business of the Treasure Pavilion had never been this good!
"The Pavilion Master is truly skillful."
"I'm far from his match!"
As he was shaking his head and sighing.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise reached his ears!
The entire Treasure Pavilion shook violently as if an earthquake had struck.
"What's going on?"
"Why such a commotion?"
"Could it be... someone is making a move in the Treasure Pavilion?"
...
In the main hall.
The cultivators who were scrambling for medicinal pills and magical treasures changed their expressions, each of them panicking.
"Don't panic!"
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
A cultivator seemed to guess something, his face full of longing.
"This must be the Pavilion Master uncovering the Mysterious Stone, a treasure emerging causing this phenomenon. We are fortunate to witness it!"
"No wonder!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
"The treasure inside that Mysterious Stone is so astonishing!"
"What a pity, what a pity, we couldn't witness the splendor of the treasure with our own eyes, too regrettable!"
"Hehe, with this treasure, the Treasure Pavilion... will surely become renowned across ten nations!"
...
Just as everyone was discussing and flattering each other.
An unstoppable, murderous voice suddenly rang out.
"Little beast!"
"How dare you deceive me!"
"I will... tear you to pieces!"
Boom!
Another shake, and everyone saw a streak of light flying out, disappearing in an instant. Looking at the figure... it seemed to be Tian Pavilion Master?
Confused.
They all ran out.
And were dumbstruck!
The once majestic and imposing Treasure Pavilion was now a sight of devastation, nearly on the verge of complete collapse, and the most mysterious fifth floor... was now reduced to ruins!
...
"What!"
In the Heavenly Grade Room, Fatty jumped up.
"Fake?"
"What else?"
Gu Han glanced at him.
"That medicinal pill was just an accident, did you really think the treasures inside the Mysterious Stones come one after another? Be happy if you find one! You... didn't actually believe it, did you?"
"I..."
Fatty bristled instantly.
"You bastard, your heart is truly black! You even deceived us! How could you?!"
"No choice."
Gu Han looked helpless.
"Who knew the Treasure Pavilion had such a treasure? It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and there was no time to tell you. Manager Li, I'm sorry about this!"
"You..."
Manager Li was the most hurt.
"Our house... our house..."
At this moment.
He was trembling with rage, his face darker than the bottom of a pot, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Manager Li!"
Jiang Feng quickly tried to console him.
"Don't be like this, you're still injured..."
Manager Li gave him a mournful look.
Injured?
His heart was injured!
Damn it!
He was previously moved by his words... Moved my ass!
He should have known!
This kid, he's never been good!
"Right!"
Gu Han also felt a bit embarrassed.
"First, heal up. The Heavenly Grade Room of the Murong Family, say what you will, but its healing effects are quite good, you..."
"Hmph!"
Manager Li stormed off.
Small favors, trying to appease me?
Dream on!
"Manager Li."
Gu Han kindly reminded him: "If you go out now, you might just run into Tian Heng. We've just swindled him out of five hundred Yuan Crystals..."
"What 'we'!"
Fatty was unhappy.
"It was you! You, the bastard! What does it have to do with Fatty!"
"It's all the same."
Gu Han waved his hand.
"Everyone saw it, we're in this together."
...
Hearing this.
Manager Li's steps faltered.
Thinking of Tian Heng's rage upon discovering the deception... he felt a bit intimidated.
"Manager Li."
It was ultimately Ah-Sha who saw him neither leaving nor staying, looking utterly embarrassed, and quickly gave him a way out.
"Come with me."
"Heh!"
Manager Li gave Gu Han a glance.
"I'll give this little maid some face!"
With that.
He glared fiercely at Gu Han and turned to enter an adjacent room.
Gu Han touched his nose and remained silent.
This time...
He was indeed a bit in the wrong.
"Brother Gu."
Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I've always heard of Tian Heng's character, why did you... sigh!"
"Him?"
Gu Han sneered.
"I paid ten times the price for a Falling Ghost Fruit, yet he was insatiable, reaping so many benefits and still sending people to kill me! Five hundred Yuan Crystals... he got off cheap!"
"Unexpectedly."
Jiang Feng shook his head.
"Tian Heng's character is so despicable!"
"Oh?"
Fatty started to make a fuss again.
"You still have a Falling Ghost Fruit, show it to Fatty!"
"Show your ass!"
Gu Han retorted irritably: "Do you want to taste it again?"
"Tch!"
Fatty pursed his lips.
"It's just a broken fruit, I don't want to see it, Fatty doesn't care! But you, paying ten times the price... where did you get so much money?"
"Is it any of your business!"
"Not right!"
Fatty looked suspicious.
"Fatty feels... you have secrets!"
"Likewise, I think... you're not just a simple Fatty!"
"Come..."
Fatty suddenly smiled and beckoned Gu Han over.
"Come here, Fatty has something to tell you."
Seeing his smug expression, Gu Han suppressed the urge to chop him with a sword and sneered, "What a coincidence, I also have something to tell you."
As Gu Han approached.
Fatty's expression suddenly turned serious, and a mysterious light shot from his eyes, staring straight at him.
"What secret do you have..."
But before he could finish.
Gu Han's eyes also revealed a mysterious light, looking even more sinister than Fatty's.
In an instant.
Fatty's body stiffened, his face went blank, standing motionless like a puppet.
"Who are you!"
Gu Han asked sternly: "What secrets do you have!"
...
Fatty's face flashed with a struggle, and he stiffly said: "Fatty... Fatty... is called Fu..."
Before he could finish.
He suddenly snapped out of it.
"You..."
He was sweating profusely, his face full of terror.
"You can perform the Soul Capturing Technique too? How is that possible! And your Soul Force... how can it be so strong?"
"Fatty!"
Gu Han's expression darkened.
"You're not called He Zheng? Why have you taken the surname Fu now!"
"This..."
Fatty's eyes darted around.
"My father's surname is He, my mother's surname is Fu... Ah spit! Fatty can take whatever surname I want, what's it to you!"
...
Not far away.
Jiang Feng looked at Fatty, then at Gu Han, and suddenly shivered inside.
These two...
Seemed more dangerous than the other!
Bang!
Just as the two were arguing incessantly, a loud noise suddenly came through!
"What's going on?"
Fatty was startled.
"Do you even need to ask?"
Gu Han glanced at him.
"That Tian Pavilion Master has come knocking!"
...
Outside.
Above the Inn.
"Murong Innkeeper!"
Tian Heng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face dark, "Are you really going to stop me?"
He had chased all the way here.
Naturally, he had inquired that Gu Han was staying here.
Of course.
He and Murong Chuan had never seen eye to eye, and after a few words, they started fighting on the spot. Although they were both masters of the same realm, Murong Chuan was clearly much stronger, and he was no match.
"Tian Pavilion Master."
The commotion from the Treasure Pavilion was so loud, Murong Chuan naturally received the news immediately.
At this moment, his mood...
Was exhilarating!
Never had he felt so exhilarated!
"You're untrustworthy and insatiable, even resorting to despicable means like murder for treasure! Now that you've been retaliated against, you deserve it! And you have the nerve to make trouble here?"
"Murong Innkeeper!"
Tian Heng was filled with hatred.
"Let me in, and today... I'll owe you a favor!"
"A favor?"
Murong Chuan sneered.
"I don't care for your favor! This is Murong Family territory, and I won't allow you to run wild! Of course, if you want to fight... hehe, it's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles!"
"You should know!"
Tian Heng gritted his teeth.
"The real owner of the Treasure Pavilion is not me!"
Five hundred Yuan Crystals, plus that medicinal pill, such a loss had hurt the Treasure Pavilion to its core. If Du Teng found out about this, severe punishment awaited him!
"I don't care."
Murong Chuan said indifferently: "If he's not satisfied, he can reason with our family's ancestor! But with me here, you won't step foot inside!"
"You!"
Tian Heng almost couldn't help but fight to the death.
"Fine! Fine! Fine!"
He ultimately didn't have the courage.
"Murong Innkeeper, we... will have a long future ahead!"
He almost squeezed the words out through clenched teeth.
"Hehe."
Murong Chuan waved his hand.
"Farewell!"
Watching Tian Heng leave with reluctance, Murong Chuan suddenly laughed loudly.
"Refreshing! Too refreshing!"
"This time..."
He glanced down.
"I'll consider it a gift to you! To make Tian Heng suffer such a loss, impressive, very impressive!"
...
Inside the Martial Academy.
Students were bustling about.
Some were relaxed, exchanging cultivation insights with their peers.
Some were in a hurry, seemingly with questions seeking answers.
However.
None of this had anything to do with Mei Yun.
"Sigh..."
Watching these students from afar, he felt like crying.
Ever since Gu Han and the others left yesterday and never returned, he waited almost an entire day without seeing a shadow of them.
According to the rules of the Martial Academy.
As an Instructor, he had the right to punish them.
But.
He simply couldn't bear to.
"If they don't come back..."
Thinking of the three invitations lying quietly in the Storage Ring, he clenched his teeth.
"If I don't go find them myself, I'll fail as an Instructor!"
