Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 593 - 572: The Ruin of the Fu Family (3/3)

Amidst the complex emotions of the crowd, Tu Gang respectfully placed the identity nameplate on Zhou Heng’s chest, a small metal badge that made everyone gasp for air with its three shining stars on it!

Three Stars Pharmacist!

Zhou Heng pressed his hand on the nameplate, and a surge of spiritual power flowed into it, immediately activating the badge’s blood imprint, his blood. Under the resonance, the three stars emitted a soft glow.

Three Stars Pharmacist, genuine and authentic!

Awesome to the extreme!

Though a Three Stars Pharmacist was not a Sunshine King, Zhou Heng possessed an even more terrifying influence! Who would dare to judge a Sunshine King? At least in Hai Immortal City, Xu Immortal City, and You Immortal City, no one had the guts!

Everyone felt like crying. If you’re a Three Stars Pharmacist, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had, who would dare put you on public trial?

This isn’t how you play with people!

Zhou Heng withdrew his hand, suppressing the anger of Tu Gang, Yuan Feng, and others, and said indifferently, "Aren’t we proceeding with the public judgment? Let’s move on to the voting quickly. I will definitely accept the fair verdict of the Immortal City!"

My ass!

You’re a Three Stars Pharmacist—whom dares to declare you guilty? And you’ll accept a fair verdict? What kind of justice is that?

Full of resentment, yet who would dare to argue with a Three Stars Pharmacist?

"Not guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

All fifteen families with voting rights raised their hands one after another, unanimously voting for acquittal, including the Fu, Sun, and Yu Families without any exception! Being left with no other option, they had to bite the bullet.

Firstly, it was the trend of the times; even if they voted guilty, what would it change when they are outnumbered? Secondly, and most importantly, if they dared to vote guilty, it would mean making an enemy of a Three Stars Pharmacist. Without Zhou Heng lifting a finger, all the families in Wild Horse City would be scrambling to annihilate them to curry favor with Zhou Heng!

Even though they had offended Zhou Heng, there was still room for redemption, right?

Moreover, it was only the Fu Family who had made a true enemy of Zhou Heng—what did it have to do with the Sun and Yu Families? When disaster strikes, even husbands and wives flee separately, let alone allies.

The Fu Family had been completely isolated!

Having offended Zhou Heng the most, now everyone saw them as a dangerous flood beast, fearing that any slight association would cause Zhou Heng to regard them as conspirators, and soon a Sunshine King would emerge to annihilate their family!

This was just the beginning. Who would dare to do business with the Fu Family in the future? Having offended a Three Stars Pharmacist, which pharmacist would sell pills to the Fu Family?

The Fu Family was finished!

Not instantly annihilated, but a slow, excruciating death by a thousand cuts. Their strength would wane daily, and once sufficiently weakened, other forces would rise to take their wealth and territory.

In this, the Sun and Yu Families, their former allies, would likely be involved!

Perhaps it wouldn’t even take that long—turning their heads, the fourteen other powers might join forces to eradicate the Fu Family to appease Zhou Heng’s anger!

This was the harsh reality of the Immortal Realm.

Zhou Heng swept his eyes around the crowd, smiled faintly, said nothing, and walked straight out of the Heavenly Might Hall, followed by a throng of pharmacists who surrounded him like stars around the moon, back to the Pharmacists Association.

No sooner had he left than news about him began to spread far and wide!

An Eleven Wheels Moonlight Emperor! A Three Stars Pharmacist!

My God, how could there be such an exceptional person in the world! It’s as if he is the darling of the universe!

Definitely the favored of the heavens, and anyone who disagrees can come at me!

After returning to their families, the Moonlight Emperors of the Sun and Yu Families immediately declared their dissociation with the Fu Family and then sent their Old Ancestors to personally present generous gifts to Zhou Heng.

A Peak Moonlight Emperor humbling himself to visit a Moonlight Sovereign, unafraid of being laughed at?

Of course not!

This was no ordinary Moonlight Sovereign, but one with Eleven Wheels Moon and the title of a Three Stars Pharmacist!

Zhou Heng accepted the gifts from the two families, which made him quite satisfied. Although the Sun and Yu Families had been hostile towards him in the Heavenly Might Hall, they hadn’t caused any actual harm, and the gifts they brought were to Zhou Heng’s liking.

He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person; he could let bygones be bygones with the Sun and Yu Families, but the Fu Family had to pay a price!

These past few days, Zhou Heng hadn’t had a moment’s peace, with countless invitations to banquets and gifts. Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with a Three Stars Pharmacist? Moreover, Zhou Heng had the "limit-breaking" Eleven Wheels Moon from the Immortal Realm!

In the future, Zhou Heng might even become an existence comparable to the Creation Emperor!

Investing in Zhou Heng now might yield an incredibly fruitful return in the future!

Zhou Heng, growing impatient, let the pharmacists at the Association fend off the solicitations for him, only sparing the time to attend the banquets hosted by the Situ Family and Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. He still had to acknowledge these two social obligations.

The Fu family also sent people to deliver gifts, but Zhou Heng didn’t even meet with them. Instead, he had Tu Gang sweep them out the door.

During his visit to the Situ Family’s banquet, Zhou Heng bluntly proposed to take action against the Fu family.

——Although the Pharmacists Association holds a status above material concerns, after all, the Situ Family is the ruler of Wild Horse City, and it is more convenient for them to handle certain matters.

The Situ Family had harbored such thoughts for a long time, but the Fu family, being such a big piece of the pie, wasn’t something they could swallow on their own. After consulting with Zhou Heng, the Situ Family issued numerous invitations, secretly calling together the ancestors of the dozen or so major forces in the city.

With Zhou Heng threading the needle and delivering the final blow, a storm targeting the Fu family suddenly unfolded!

Headed by the Situ Family, fourteen great clans jointly initiated a punitive expedition. Accusing the Fu family of colluding with the Star Sea pirates, experts from all sides launched a fatal strike against the Fu family!

The Fu family was powerful, being able to rank within the top five families in Wild Horse City, but how could they lack a trump card? However, the Fu family could only rank within the top five—there were at least three forces that could rival them, and there was the Situ Family, far above them!

Fourteen families against one, the Fu family was destined for a complete defeat!

After dominating Wild Horse City for tens of thousands of years, the Fu family was wiped out, causing a sensation throughout Wild Horse City and even Xihai City!

The reason the Fu family fell so swiftly and thoroughly was because they had offended someone they shouldn’t have.

Zhou Heng’s name rose like a comet, and for a time the top powers throughout Xihai City were all discussing his reputation. As the news passed from person to person, it naturally changed completely, becoming more and more exaggerated—rumors said Zhou Heng had a master who was a Holy Pharmacist and was even the heir to a superpower in Juexian City.

As for this, Zhou Heng didn’t pay much attention. In the battle that destroyed the Fu family, he killed four Moonlight Emperors and pushed his cultivation level to Fourteen Wheels Moon!

After nearly ten days had passed, Zhou Heng took Yang Lanxin and the Moon Shadow Saintess back to the Yang family—he longed for Huo Tian and the other women.

Although he didn’t buy an Immortal Residence on this trip, overall, it was still very satisfying for Zhou Heng—he brought back a large quantity of pills.

There were no disturbances on the road. He returned safely to the Yang family with the two women. After dividing a portion of the pills to give to Yang Lanxin to win people’s hearts, he naturally kept the higher-grade pills for his own people.

He originally wanted to open the Realm Gate in Wild Horse City, return to the Mortal Realm, and bring his parents and uncle to the Immortal Realm. Having established a foothold, he was disappointed to find that not only a large number of Immortal Stones was required to open the Realm Gate, but after opening it several times, it needed a long time to recover its stability, and now it was precisely during this "rest period."

Otherwise, the Realm Gate could collapse during teleportation, and then drifting in the void, there were high odds of not being able to return or come out.

Generally speaking, one would have to wait a hundred years!

For an Immortal, a hundred years may not pass in the blink of an eye but aren’t unbearably long, but how old is Zhou Heng now? For him, a hundred years felt agonizingly long!

Moreover, there was no Realm Gate in Wild Horse City. The entire Xihai City had only one Realm Gate, located in Canglang Mountain, the center of Xihai City, directly managed by Juexian City, and anyone could use the Realm Gate—as long as they could afford the price!

Zhou Heng either had to wait a hundred years or go to another Immortal City; in any case, he was currently unable to travel to the Mortal Realm.

The Yang family’s news was quite isolated. Although Zhou Heng made quite a name for himself in Wild Horse City, none in the Yang family heard a thing. They assumed that after Zhou Heng hit Liu Hanye, he had left to lay low and only now dared to return.

The gazes directed at him naturally carried a hint of disdain—an utter coward!

Zhou Heng waited for the start of the Starwind Trial, and the once-in-a-century event was less than half a month away.

As Zhou Heng had the title of a Three Stars Pharmacist, he himself had three slots. He naturally wouldn’t care for the quota from the Yang family. As before, the Yang family’s quota went to Yang Lanxin, Liu Hanye, and Lin Caijun.

When the news spread, the Yang family was abuzz with discussion.

Had it been like this in previous years, it wouldn’t be surprising—it should be as such. But this time was different; there was also Zhou Heng! Isn’t he the prospective son-in-law? Why didn’t Yang Lanxin give him a slot?

Could it be that there was a rift in their feelings? Or because Liu Hanye was beaten, was Yang Lanxin forced to make concessions, using this method to punish Zhou Heng and show weakness to Liu Zishuang and his son?

No one dared to ask Yang Lanxin, Zhou Heng, or Liu Hanye directly, but rumors were already swirling.

...

Liu Hanye’s face that had been gloomy for over ten days finally showed a smile. Yang Lanxin allocated the three Starwind Trial slots in the usual manner without hesitation, which, to him, signified Zhou Heng’s submission.

Yang Tiehu emerged from seclusion. After a long conversation with Liu Zishuang, the Head of the Yang Family, with deep brotherly affection, agreed to give Zhou Heng a thorough polishing—probably Zhou Heng’s first punishment from Yang Tiehu. freёwebnoѵel.com

Up next, Zhou Heng would come to apologize, right?

Heh, it won’t be that simple. He will let Zhou Heng taste the same humiliation in public and will return the favor with interest!

Indeed, Yang Tiehu did want to discipline Zhou Heng. After only hearing Liu Zishuang’s side of the story, he thought this young man was acting recklessly, relying on the "favor" of his beloved daughter, and took matters into his own hands. He must clamp down on this bad influence!

——To become the son-in-law of the Yang family, he’d still need his, Yang Tiehu’s, approval!

A family that remains prosperous must have strict family rules, and everyone should follow suit! He’d worked hard to establish the Yang family and couldn’t let it be destroyed in the hands of a reckless person before his eyes were even closed.

Therefore, on the day Zhou Heng returned, he decided on the candidates for the Starwind Trial. Then he summoned his daughter, Zhou Heng, Liu Zishuang, Lin Caijun, and others the next day.

He wanted to remind Zhou Heng in public that this was the Yang family. Even if he gave his nod of approval, Zhou Heng would merely be the son-in-law of the Yang family, not a Supreme Emperor!

After all, he might not approve the marriage! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
