The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 304: Ambush

Time waited for no man.

In September 1234 of the Ziyun era, Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet and finally arrived at the Hengliu galaxy. He entered the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect.

In September 1237 of the Ziyun era, Zhou Donghuang took part in the Alliance Hunt of the Hengliu galaxy, and three months later, which was December 1237 of the Ziyun era, he successfully won the Alliance Hunt.

In the blink of an eye, it was now the end of the year 1238 of the Ziyun era.

At this point, it had been more than half a year since Liu Pingsheng had left, and Zhou Donghuang had also been training in isolation for a full six months.

In the six months, with the help of the Qi-Gathering formation produced using his spirit stones and the Divine Dharma technique, Zhou Donghuang finally reached the Primordial Soul stage successfully... of course, it was not the Primordial Soul stage recognized by the Lord of the Four Supremes.

The Lord of the Four Supremes required all four Dharma Powers to reach the Primordial Soul stage for the adept to be considered a Primordial Soul adept. If only one, two or three of the Dharma Powers transformed from the Dharma stage to the Primordial Soul stage, that wouldn’t be enough.

“In the blink of an eye, it has already been more than three years since I left the Ziyun planet... when I come back from the Guiyao planet this time, I will go to a few more places to collect some things, then make my way back to the Ziyun planet and bring some spirit stones and elixirs back for them.”

More than three years ago, when Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet, he had planned to return once he had gathered enough training resources to give to his family and those of the Donghuang Sect.

Now, it seemed about time to do so.

Of course, after three years, Zhou Donghuang’s appearance had hardly changed. He looked as youthful and as handsome as before, but his pair of eyes looked like it had aged as if it was no longer the bright eyes of youth.

“Little Brother, you’re finally out?”

The moment that Zhou Donghuang walked out into the yard, Da Zhuang’s voice rang out from outside.

Da Zhuang had rushed over when he had heard the creaking of Zhou Donghuang’s door being pushed open.

“Da Zhuang, have you reached the ultimate Dharma stage?” asked Zhou Donghuang with a smile.

“Not yet.”

Da Zhuang rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he said, “I’m more stupid. Sister already reached the ultimate Dharma stage two months ago, but I have not reached it yet.

“Valley Head said there is no use for me to lock myself up to train; it may even be counter-productive... so these few days, I have been training some of the moves taught in the Fiery Thunder Training Regimen in the courtyard.”

As he spoke, Da Zhuang glanced furtively at Zhou Donghuang, as if he was afraid that Zhou Donghuang would be disappointed at his poor performance.

“You have already done well.”

Zhou Donghuang smiled and said, “Third Sister has always been more naturally talented than you, so it is normal that she progressed earlier than you.

“Continue training those moves. I have something that I need to discuss with the Valley Head.”

With that, Zhou Donghuang turned and left to meet He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head. After meeting He Jin, Zhou Donghuang did not return to his own residence. Instead, he directly left the Lightning Sword Sect and headed to the Guiyao planet.

He had waited a long time for this day.

“Typically, that huge demon of the Guiyao planet should still be there... after all, one year ago, the Guiyao planet did not have any signs that the demon was reaching the end of its stay there.”

As he thought of this, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes lit up as he left the Lightning Sword Sect.

He did not head towards the galaxy teleporter that was located near the Lightning Sword Sect. Instead, he made his way through the stars with his body alone, towards the Guiyao planet. There were no galaxy teleporters between the Tielao planet, where the Lightning Sword Sect was at, and the Guiyao planet.

He would need to go to a different galaxy teleporter to reach the Guiyao planet, but it would be more efficient to simply make his way through the stars himself.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang left the Lightning Sword Sect, a figure discreetly left the Lightning Sword Sect and headed to the galaxy teleporter stationed outside of the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Official Chu, Zhou Donghuang has just left the Lightning Sword Sect,” the figure said.

This man who had just leaked this information was none other than one of the spies that had been placed in the Autumn Valley by the Qi Dynasty.

“Left the Lightning Sword Sect?”

Chu Wei, an official of the Qi Dynasty, appeared excited as his eyes lit up. He asked, “Where was he headed?”

“He stepped into the skies and seemed to be heading for outside the galaxy... from what it looked like, he did not intend to use the galaxy teleporter,” the spy of the Qi Dynasty answered.

“He did not intend to use the galaxy teleporter, but just headed into the galaxy by himself? Which direction did he go in?” Chu Wei frowned slightly as he asked.

“There.”

With the direction pointed by the spy, Chu Wei looked though his telescope, and his eyes landed on the far distance. “This direction... is this the way to the Guiyao planet?

“Is Zhou Donghuang trying to go to the Guiyao planet?”

In the past, the various sects of the Alliance had the Alliance Hunt on the Guiyao planet. He and the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty were nearby then and had sped through the stars with their bodies alone and arrived at the Lightning Sword Sect on the Tielao planet.

Precisely because of that, he was familiar with the route towards the Guiyao planet.

With the direction pointed out by the spy, he immediately realized that Zhou Donghuang was headed towards the Guiyao planet.

“Alright, you may leave now.”

After the spy took his leave, Chu Wei spoke to the two men beside him, “Gentlemen, it is time for action.

“I know you think that he is just a Dharma adept, and don’t think he is worth your abilities... but this matter was personally instructed by Emperor Qi himself, so I hope that the two of you do a good job. Do not be careless.

“If there is any mistake, it will be difficult for us to report this to Emperor Qi and his son, the seventh prince.”

Upon Chu Wei’s reminder, the other middle-aged man, who had had a look of disdain on his face, now turned serious. As for the other old man, he had a calm expression on his face from the beginning till the end, hardly displaying any happiness or anger.

“Let’s go!”

The three officials of the Qi Dynasty, three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts, turned into three streaks of light as they disappeared from the galaxy transporter and into the skies above. In a moment, they had disappeared from view, as if they were never there.

“We will split up as we go forth, once anybody discovers his tracks, we’ll gather again and kill him!

“Seventh Prince said that there should be nobody left alive to tell the story!

“A presence as outstanding as him, if he has the chance to escape from this ambush, he will surely take revenge on the Qi Dynasty. That will definitely be trouble for our Qi Dynasty.

“So we have to ensure that he is killed today, and leave no trace of the attack by destroying the body as well!”

Chu Wei spoke seriously to the other two alongside him. The three ultimate Primordial Soul officials of the Qi Dynasty made their way through the clouds and fog above the Tielao planet and appeared among the stars of the galaxy.

In the next instant, the other two separated and maintained a distance from each other as they flew together.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three people formed the three points of a triangle formation, led by Chu Wei, as they rushed towards the Guiyao planet.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang was similarly making his way through the galaxy flying towards the Guiyao planet ahead of Chu Wei and the other two officials of the Qi Dynasty.

In fact, Zhou Donghuang’s speed was faster than Chu Wei had expected.

The three of them only discovered him after a long period of time, and when they witnessed his speed, they could not help but question, “This... this is a Dharma adept?”

The two men beside Chu Wei looked at Chu Wei together and asked, “Are we following the wrong person?”

The figure in front of them was moving at a speed that was impossible for any Dharma adept to achieve.

He was at least an early Primordial Soul adept.

Although there was still a large distance between them, Chu Wei’s eyes were still sharp enough to recognize Zhou Donghuang’s back at a glance. “No mistake! It is definitely him!

“This rascal, I would remember how he looks from the back, even if turns to ashes!”

As Chu Wei spoke, his tone was frightening.

Back then, if the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng, was not standing by the side, he would surely have disciplined this rascal right there and then for being so rude towards them!

“Looks like he was almost at the frontier of the ultimate Dharma stage back then... then, after using the Sky Sun fruit, he managed to reach the Primordial soul stage within just a year,” guessed Chu Wei.

“Sky Sun fruit?”

Hearing Chu Wei’s words, a tinge of regret seemed to flash across the eyes of the two men beside him. “What a waste that such a precious fruit would be eaten by someone who is about to die.

“So what if this Zhou Donghuang used the Sky Sun fruit? In the end, he does not have long to live. Such a waste of something so precious, it would’ve been a better use if my grandson used it!”

The conversation between the two men revealed their sense of disappointment that Zhou Donghuang had wasted something as valuable as the Sky Sun fruit.

The Sky Sun fruit was an extremely rare spirit fruit, but now, it had been used by a man who was about to die.

Not just them, even Emperor Qi would feel a tinge of loss towards this.

“A Primordial Soul adept at just twenty-seven years old... even in the history of our Qi Dynasty, I don’t think someone like that has appeared before, right?”

The middle-aged man asked suddenly, his eyes shining.

“No.”

The other old man shook his head and answered, “In the history of our Qi Dynasty, the youngest disciple to reach the Primordial Soul stage only managed to achieve it at the age of twenty-nine... that disciple reached the late Divine Transformation stage before he left the Hengliu galaxy.”

“Haha...”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed as his eyes shone brightly. “To be able to kill such a talent with my bare hands will be my pride and glory for the rest of my life!”

“Let’s go.”

Chu Wei spoke calmly. In a swift motion, he transformed into a comet that shot through the skies, inching closer to the figure ahead of them.

The other two men followed suit.

The three ultimate Primordial Soul adept moved at unbelievable speeds and quickly caught up to the figure that was ahead of them. They not only blocked his way but also trapped him. It was if Zhou Donghuang was locked within tight walls.

“Zhou Donghuang!”

Chu Wei blocked his path and glared at him. “You must have never imagined that we would meet again so soon.”

As he spoke, Chu Wei’s lips curled into a smile of disdain and mock.

“Why?”

However, when faced with the appearance of Chu Wei and the other two men, Zhou Donghuang did not seem surprised at all. “You all from the Qi Dynasty, are you trying to kidnap me back to the Qi Dynasty?”

“Kidnap you to the Qi Dynasty?” Chu Wei laughed coldly as he replied.

“Zhou Donghuang, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think our Qi Dynasty would dare try to kidnap someone and use them?”

When Chu Wei looked at Zhou Donghuang again, it was as if he was looking at an idiot.
