Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 495

On the other side.

The entire inn shook violently, sending many cultivators staying there into a panic, shouting:

“What’s happening?!”

Suddenly, a powerful aura poured in like a flood, enveloping the entire inn in an instant, leaving many cultivators pale and trembling in fear.

The middle-aged shopkeeper shuddered and exclaimed, “This aura! Someone must have broken through to the Immortal Sovereign level!”

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd erupted in chaos.

Even though the Azure Sky Domain ranked in the top five of the North Cold Immortal Domain, boasting numerous experts, the number of Immortal Sovereigns remained exceedingly small. Each one represented top-tier combat power, revered by countless sects and families.

Thus, for anyone breaking through to the Immortal Sovereign realm, it meant ascending to the top of the North Cold Immortal Domain’s hierarchy.

Wherever they went, they would be courted by major forces, worshipped by billions of beings!

Even in the entire Immortal Realm, their status was unparalleled; as long as the Immortal Emperor didn’t intervene, they held absolute authority!

Now.

No one expected that in this small Mo Yun City inn, a major figure of the Immortal Sovereign realm would emerge!

It was simply unbelievable!

Moments later.

The doors swung open.

A powerful woman in a white skirt strode out, her eyes shining with divine light, black hair cascading like a waterfall, descending like a goddess and filling countless hearts with awe.

She first picked up a crimson gourd, tilted her head back, and took a huge swig of wine, then burst into a hearty, infectious laugh.

“Ahahaha! From today onward, I, Luo Qingwu, am the Immortal Sovereign!!!”

Upon hearing this.

The crowd of cultivators was aghast.

The one who had broken through to Immortal Sovereign level was that infamously shameless Luo?

Crap, the atmosphere in the North Cold Immortal Domain is bound to get worse now!

“We pay our respects, Immortal Sovereign Luo!”

The middle-aged shopkeeper, shaken, immediately knelt in reverence.

“We all pay our respects, Immortal Sovereign Luo!!!”

The entire row of guests knelt, trembling in fear.

As it is said, an Immortal Sovereign must not be disrespected.

For such strong beings can easily massacre all beings in a major domain, blood flowing for millions of miles.

Even though this was the most luxurious inn in Mo Yun City, those who came were not ordinary cultivators, but they knew that before an Immortal Sovereign, they were all just ants.

Especially since this was that rogue woman, Luo, which made them even more fearful, shaking in fright!

“Immortal Lady Luo is impressive,” said the Great Mushroom King, filled with admiration.

“Her aura is terrifying, far surpassing the Immortal Sovereign level figures we encountered earlier, and she’s just newly ascended; truly remarkable talent,” Canglang Jun remarked, shaken to the core.

Listening to Luo Qingwu’s infectious laughter, Ye Junlin felt a twitch on his forehead, utterly speechless.

Originally, she made quite the entrance, but as soon as she spoke, her image just crumbled away.

It seems no matter how high her rank, it can’t change her nature.

But then again, thinking about it, I seem to be just like that.

Oh well, nothing to worry about.

“Everyone rise!”

Luo Qingwu, in great spirits, waved her hand and proclaimed: “Today, I, Luo, am treating everyone! Eat and drink to your heart’s content! Just charge it all to me!”

“Thank you, Immortal Sovereign Luo!”

The guests were initially stunned, then ecstatic, their perception of Luo Qingwu greatly improved, feelings of goodwill surging within.

Who spread the rumor that this woman loves to take advantage and has a bad reputation?

I doubt it’s the case!

“Damn, did Immortal Lady Luo have a change of heart? So generous?” Canglang Jun was taken aback, shocked as if he’d just seen a legless man sprinting…

“After all, people can change, right?” Ye Junlin sighed.

Quickly, the middle-aged shopkeeper rubbed his hands and cautiously asked Luo Qingwu:

“Immortal Sovereign, they’ve consumed over a hundred thousand top-tier Immortal Crystals. Do you wish to settle the payment now?”

“Of course, rest assured, your status is noble; my shop will give you a 40% discount!”

The middle-aged shopkeeper hurried to add, fearing Luo Qingwu might take offense.

“Discount? Who do you think you’re looking down on?”

Luo Qingwu glared, “You think I can’t afford it?”

The middle-aged shopkeeper’s legs turned to jelly, quickly shaking his hands in denial, “N-no, that’s not what I meant! If you mind, I can charge the full price…”

Luo Qingwu casually waved her hand, “Whatever, just put it on the tab!”

Middle-aged shopkeeper: “???”

Wait, are you planning to skip out on the bill?

Didn’t you just shout, “I’ll cover all expenses!”?

You’re buying what, exactly?!

Watching the guests below celebrating, the middle-aged shopkeeper felt like crying; he was going to take a huge loss now.

Noticing this, Ye Junlin twitched his lips, “I take back what I said earlier.”

“That’s more like it! I almost thought she was possessed,” Canglang Jun sighed in relief, a smile of contentment blooming on his face.

Luo’s fame was indeed well-deserved!

“Shopkeeper, I’ll cover the bill.” Ye Junlin casually tossed a storage bag over.

He didn’t care about money at all.

Taking the bag, the middle-aged shopkeeper quickly peeked inside and then his eyebrows shot up, excitement flooding his face as he hurriedly thanked, “Thank you so much, Young Master!”

Then he respectfully bowed and retreated.

“Hey, wasn’t I supposed to foot the bill?” Luo Qingwu questioned, genuinely surprised.

Ye Junlin was left speechless.

Sister, your version of paying means running a tab, right?!

I’m truly impressed!

“Alright, later I’ll compensate you,” Luo Qingwu stepped forward, elbowing Ye Junlin playfully, winking with suggestive intent.

Ye Junlin: “……”

In front of so many people, you dare to say that!

The Great Mushroom King looked puzzled, feeling that the relationship between the Master and Immortal Lady Luo had turned strange but couldn’t quite pinpoint why.

Canglang Jun, glancing toward Tang Yaoyao’s previous odd behavior, suddenly had a thought flash through his mind, making him widen his eyes in shock.

“Huh?”

Noticing the oddness, Ye Junlin caught a glimpse of Canglang Jun out of the corner of his eye.

Canglang Jun shrank his neck in fear, quickly lowering his head.

Even if he understood something, he wouldn’t dare speak it; such matters should rot in his belly for a lifetime.

“Hey, where’s Yaoyao?” Luo Qingwu scanned the room and realized her disciple was missing, looking quite puzzled.

“Senior Tang went out a few days ago and hasn’t returned since,” the Great Mushroom King replied earnestly.

“Out?”

Luo Qingwu raised an eyebrow, “Did she mention why?”

“No, she just acted strange before leaving,” the Great Mushroom King recounted everything without omission.

Swish!

Luo Qingwu and Ye Junlin exchanged shocked glances, feeling a sense of guilt that was almost like being caught in an affair…

“Great, now even your disciple knows! Who asked you to shout so loud? As if you were worried others wouldn’t hear,” Ye Junlin transmitted secretly.

“Seriously? It’s my fault? Can’t a girl shout in joy?”

Luo Qingwu retorted, irritated.

“Heh, I’m not her master so it’s not my face being lost.”

“Lost face? This just gave you some credit! Let her see the capabilities of her Master Ye!”

“Fine, you win!”

Luo Qingwu’s shamelessness left Ye Junlin with no choice but to concede.

At this point, what else could he say?

“Wait,”

Seemingly sensing something, Luo Qingwu furrowed her brows and produced a glowing ancient talisman from her hand, as if it were resonating from afar.

This was the mother talisman of a pair!

She focused in silence, and her expression suddenly changed, “Not good, my disciple is in danger!”

No time to explain, she vanished, rushing toward Tang Yaoyao’s location.

“This…” Canglang Jun expressed his doubts.

“Let’s go check it out.”

Ye Junlin frowned and followed behind.

At this moment.

In the alley.

Zhou Dalang lay on the ground, his face full of sorrow and rage, spewing blood in frustration as he watched his beloved woman willingly yield to another man.

Especially the constant shouts ringing in his ears, each one hammering into his head like a spike, driving him to the brink of madness!

“Did you see that? That’s true skill!” Lu Tianming exclaimed, grinning with pride.

“Lu lang, I love you, Lu lang…”

Xu Chunlian chimed in, seemingly lost in endless pleasure.

In reality, she felt nothing but discomfort, but due to the influence of the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, she was entirely compelled to comply with Lu Tianming.

“Shut up! Stop talking, you wretched woman! Don’t say another word, ahhhhh!!!!”

Zhou Dalang, witnessing the whole scene, experienced unimaginable torment, tears and snot flowing freely as he screamed in agony.

“Heavens…”

Tang Yaoyao, seeing this shameful yet exhilarating sight for the first time, was blushing fiercely, feeling her whole body heat up while her heart raced wildly.

Though she still couldn’t figure out why Xu Chunlian suddenly betrayed her husband, seeking the arms of another man,

but at this moment, it no longer mattered.

“Indeed, my techniques are absolutely unmatched!”

Lu Tianming puffed out his chest proudly, feeling highly accomplished and exuding confidence.

Now, he was terrifyingly strong!

“Yes, Lu lang, you’re really impressive!” Xu Chunlian reacted like someone utterly conquered, writhing her body to comply eagerly.

“Hehe, once I lure that shameless Luo over, I’ll make her regret all the mistakes she made before!” He coldly chuckled, thinking of something.

The woman he most wanted to conquer remained Luo Qingwu, for she had given him the greatest humiliation of his life. Without avenging this, his hatred would never be quenched.
