Chapter 709 (1/2)

The sudden stir of the bloodline in Zhou Weiqing’s body shocked him to the core. He instantly used his Saint Energy to suppress it. His heart constricted in panic even more the moment the Blackfiend Dragon’s voice rang out.

With such a situation before him, apart from the Heavenly God Tier Blackfiend Dragon, all of the masters from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace were here. If one of them felt suspicious toward him, it would be extremely hard for him to escape this entire ordeal. Even if he managed to escape, what about Bing’er who was still in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace?

Fortunately, after the “Eh” from the Blackfiend Dragon, it did not take any further action.

“Who is this young man? Your newly-trained disciple? I sense a familiar and cordial aura from his body,” the Blackfiend Dragon asked curiously.

After hearing the words ‘familiar’ and ‘cordial’, Zhou Weiqing secretly sighed in relief. He had already gotten his arguments ready as it was unrealistic for him to flee forcibly out of this situation. On top of that, he still had a mission to complete. Even if his cultivation base was discovered, he still stood a chance of winning their trust by quibbling his way out. He was from another mainland after all. Nobody on the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland would be able to prove that he harbored ill will toward the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.

Dumbfounded, Meng Xing stared at Zhou Weiqing and asked, “Familiar and cordial? D-Did you sense it wrongly? He’s not a disciple that we nurtured. The fact that he’s able to come all the way here and see you proves that he has a high rank in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. Let me introduce him to you. This is Zhou Weiqing, the newly recruited Honorary God Tier Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace.

“God Tier Master? A God Tier Master with a Sixth Jewel cultivation base?” Under the concealment of the Saint Energy, even the Heavenly God-tier Blackfiend Dragon could not sense Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation base.

Astonished, Meng Xing asked Zhou Weiqing, “You just broke through?”

Zhou Weiqing chuckled before he replied, “Yeah, I just entered the Sixth Jewel tier.” The reason why he deliberately revealed a slight improvement to his strength was to better conceal his true strength. The moment he learned that he might have to face a Dreadfiend Sea Naga, he had been slowly adjusting his aura.

Staring at him in amazement, Meng Xing nodded to the Blackfiend Dragon. “He has proven that he’s a God Tier Master with his abilities. Honorary Master Zhou has spectacular Spiritual Energy talent. It’s so much more powerful than the average person. He’s very close to reaching the Heavenly God tier. Not only that, his Heavenly Jewels are made up of the three attributes of Wind, Spatial, and Time. With the powerful abilities of the Time Attribute controlling the crafting process of the Consolidating Equipment Scrolls, he can reverse time quickly. For this reason, he can make sure that no mistakes are made when he is crafting the scrolls. He even managed to craft a God Tier Consolidated Equipment because of this. That was why we decided to appoint him as a God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master. Although Honorary Master Zhou is still in his early twenties, his future is beyond promising.”

The Blackfiend Dragon had no intention of letting Zhou Weiqing off so easily even though Meng Xing had put in a good word for him. A pair of demonic red eyes stared at him as the dragon asked, “Young man, can you tell me? Where does this familiarity and cordiality that I sense from your body come from?”

Despite being insulated by Meng Xing’s protective ring, Zhou Weiqing could still feel the intense and unparalleled sense of intimidation under the dragon’s gaze. This sense of intimidation came from a spiritual level.

It seemed like he would have to play some of his cards now.

Zhou Weiqing replied respectfully, “I’ve seen you before, sir. I think I know the reason why you sense a feeling of familiarity and cordiality from my body. Perhaps, it’s because my Heavenly Jewels attributes are in harmony with yours.”

The Blackfiend Dragon asked, “In harmony with mine? My attribute is pure Blackness. The ones that you possess are Wind, Time, and Spatial. How could yours possibly be in harmony with mine?”

Zhou Weiqing chuckled lightly. The more he faced this kind of enormous pressure, the clearer his mind became. Moreover, he still possessed one distinguishing trait—he was not easily intimidated. The situation at the moment was similar to the situation when he first met the Mountain Lord of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. It was the same situation all over again. Before he became a Heavenly Jewel Master, Mu En had taught him that the more dangerous the situation that he faced, the calmer he had to be. The more calm and composed you were, the safer you would be.

“Sir, Honorary Master, Meng Xing only mentioned a part of my Heavenly Jewels attributes. Actually, my Heavenly Jewels Attributes are my biggest secret. But in front of you, I no longer want to conceal it. I have a unique cultivation technique. Please give me some guidance.”

As he was speaking, he took a few steps forward and stepped out of Meng Xing’s protection ring.

The moment he walked out of the protection ring, Zhou Weiqing immediately felt a sudden increase in the pressure of his surroundings. It left him slightly breathless. Still, he forced himself to stand straight as he endured it with sheer willpower.

At the moment, Meng Xing looked somewhat displeased with the situation. The pair of eyes that were staring at Zhou Weiqing were completely filled with wrath. This bastard was so cowardly that he needed to hug her when they were leaping off the cliff but now he actually walked out of her protection ring so confidently in the face of the Heavenly God-tier Blackfiend Dragon? How could he possibly be scared of jumping off the cliff in the first place? What an asshole! ASSHOLE!

If it weren’t for the unusual situation that they were in right now, Meng Xing would have probably given him a hard slap in the face. Still, she had to admit that the way Zhou Weiqing walked out of her protection ring, and the way he faced the Blackfiend Dragon alone was very, very manly!

Zhou Weiqing released the Heavenly Power Jewels. There were six each on both wrists. When the Alexandrite Cat Eye’s Gems appeared on his left wrist, the Blackfiend Dragon’s pupils constricted in an obvious manner.
