The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 280 - Zhou Donghuang’s Plan



Chapter 280: Zhou Donghuang’s Plan

“What a stubborn girl… But since I have set things up this way, I think she will have no choice but to accept it even if she doesn’t want to.”

After parting with Luo Qinghan, the white-robed youth took off the devil mask on his face, revealing an exceedingly handsome face that had an extraordinary aura. He was none other than Zhou Donghuang.

Tomorrow was the day that the Guiyao planet’s Overhead Formation would open. It was the day that the Alliance disciples from various sects who had participated in the Alliance Hunt would leave the Guiyao planet, hand over the heads of the hunted beasts and calculate their results. To avoid exposing his identity, as a matter of course, he had to part with Luo Qinghan one day in advance.

“Although she will accept the space ring I left for her, given her personality, I think she won’t touch the things inside… Fortunately, I predicted this early on and left a message inside so that she has no choice but to accept what I give her.”

While mumbling, Zhou Donghuang had confidence written all over his face. Thereafter, he found a remote place and took off the white robe that he had worn for a month.

For the past month, he had not changed the robe he was wearing precisely because he wanted to avoid exposing his identity in front of Luo Qinghan.

Otherwise, he would have changed so many times that he would have lost count.

Although as a martial adept, he was immune to the heat and the cold, and the robe he was wearing would have almost no sweat and grime on it, and many martial adepts went so far as to wear the same clothes for many years… He had lived on earth for some time after all. While on earth, he had showered and changed his clothes daily. By force of habit, after leaving earth in his past life, he had to change his clothes after a few days at most.

His mother, Lin Lan had noticed this and therefore, she had prepared many robes for him before he left Ziyun.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang left, Luo Qinghan found a secluded place to take over as the owner of the space ring that Zhou Donghuang had given her.

Of course, in her eyes, this space ring had been given to her by “Zhuge Haotian” whom she had just met a month ago and who wore a devil mask on his face. Now, as she was getting the space ring to recognize her as its owner, she was also worried that something bad would happen to the space ring in the future.

She had already decided that she would not touch whatever Zhuge Haotian had left for her regardless of what it was. She would return it to him if there was a chance in the future. Then, she would turn around and leave. She would not get involved with him any further and dispel any hopes he had.

It was impossible for the two of them to end up together.

Over the past month, it was not difficult for her to sense that his concern for her had far exceeded the concern that someone would show a person he had just met. She would discount it if he had known her in the past, but the problem was that they had not been acquainted with each other before this.

So, even if she was not narcissistic, she could not help but speculate that he had most likely fallen in love with her.

She was indebted to him and did not want him to be caught in between.

“This is…”

Although Luo Qinghan could sense that the items he had left for her were not ordinary, she inadvertently glanced inside the space ring and was shocked nonetheless. Numerous high-quality spirit stones were piled together like a small mountain.

In addition, there were also core drug bottles arranged neatly one after another. She did not even have to open the core drug bottles to be able to guess that the core drugs inside were extraordinary.

Apart from this, there was also a stack of paper and a piece of paper placed independently at the side.

Inhaling deeply, Luo Qinghan took out the piece of paper placed at the side only to realize that it was a letter he had left for her, although she did not know when he had done so. “I, Zhuge Haotian, appeared in Hengliu galaxy’s Guiyao planet, all because a clan elder capable of predicting the future had peered into my future.

He said that he had seen a life-or-death ordeal in my future and that I would need a benefactor to smooth the crisis over.

As for the identity of the benefactor, he only said 11 words… Hengliu galaxy, Guiyao planet, a hero saves a damsel in distress.

In the beginning, I did not understand what this meant. It was only later, when I suddenly saw a flare signal on the Guiyao planet and headed in that direction out of curiosity, and saw that you were at risk of death, that I knew you were the benefactor I was meant to find during my trip to the Hengliu galaxy.

The core drugs and spirit stones in this space ring, and the training styles too, are all things that I’ve left behind for you… You don’t have to feel indebted to me, because I’m giving you these things only to save myself. In the future, I will have to look to you to save my life.”

Apart from these words, the remaining words were introductions to the core drugs in the various core drug bottles.

“So that’s why…”

Luo Qinghan smiled bitterly. Now, she finally understood why Zhuge Haotian had showed her that much care and concern. So it was all because of a sentence from his clairvoyant clan elder. Furthermore, he firmly believed that she was the benefactor who would save his life in the future.

“I can’t believe I even thought that he liked me. It turns out I was just thinking too much.”

At that thought, Luo Qinghan could not help but feel a bit embarrassed. She subconsciously laughed mockingly at herself.

Drawing in a breath, Luo Qinghan picked up the stack of paper inside the space ring. To her surprise, the training style he had left for her was recorded on the paper… Initially, she had found it manageable, although she felt that this training style was better than the current one she was practicing.

But when she flipped further, she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. “This… This is actually a Deity-level training style?!”

In the past, when Zhou Donghuang had gone to the Luo family to ask for her hand in marriage, the dowry that he had given her father, the Immortal training style, the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” had already stunned her indescribably. She did not expect someone from a planet as backwards as Ziyun to have a training style of nearly the highest level.

And now, the training style known as the Thousand-Star Sword Technique that was in her possession, was surprisingly a Deity-level training style. As long as the person practicing it was not too lacking in innate talent and did not die prematurely halfway, they could continue practicing it into the Deity’s Tribulation Stage.

The Deity’s Tribulation Stage represented the peak of all martial adepts.

After entering the Deity’s Tribulation Stage, one would have to face the Deity’s Tribulation. If they could overcome it, they would levitate heavenwards to the legendary Divine Realm. If they could not overcome it, their bodies would die, and their souls would disappear. They would perish in the universe.

“The Deity-level training style is the most powerful training style in the universe. Usually, only the forces standing at the top of the universe would have such legacies… Who exactly is that white-robed youth called Zhuge Haotian? How could he have casually left a training style of such level to me?”

If Luo Qinghan had previously doubted the veracity of Zhuge Haotian’s message, then now, after confirming that this training style known as the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” was a Deity-level training style, all her prior doubts had completely vanished into thin air.

Under circumstances where he may be rejected, would anyone hand her a Deity-level training style to court her and to please her?

Furthermore, he was completely unaware of her character.

It was important to know that giving away a Deity-level training style was no different from throwing out the water in one’s pail. It was forever lost.

After interacting with someone for the short span of a month, no one would dare say that they knew a person’s moral character through and through.

“Who exactly is he? Just because of an uncertain ‘prophecy,’ he actually came to the Guiyao planet and even gave me a Deity-level training style?

“It goes to show that the clairvoyant clan elder he spoke about definitely uttered accurate prophecies… otherwise, there’s no way he would set his heart on it.”

Luo Qinghan was caught in a dilemma.

In the beginning, she had already decided that she would not take anything from him at all. But she did not expect him to leave this message for her, as if forcing her to accept all this… if she did not accept it, she may not be able to save him from a life-or-death situation in the future.

“Well… Perhaps prophecies really exist. Otherwise, why would he give me the Deity-level training style? I’ll accept everything he has given me. In the future, if he really needs my help, I will definitely do my best. I will not hesitate to go through water and fire!”

Luo Qinghan clearly knew what the Deity-level training style given by him meant for her. It was a gargantuan opportunity that could change her fate.

At this precise moment, an incomparably loud and clear voice reverberated throughout the entire Guiyao planet:

“After 22 hours, the formation will open and all of you will be able to come out then… A reminder to all of you that you must come out before the 46-hour mark. If you stay inside for more than 46 hours, your results for the Alliance Hunt this time will be canceled!”

This voice was amplified and broadcasted through the Chain Formation covering the Guiyao planet. It simultaneously spread to the ears of all the Alliance disciples in the Guiyao planet.

Immediately, the numerous Alliance disciples knew that they did not have much time left. They had to make full use of the remaining 40 hours or more. They had to try their best to kill a few more beasts and behead them so as to accumulate points for the Alliance Hunt this time.

Everyone heard this voice, be it Zhou Donghuang or Luo Qinghan.

Zhou Donghuang wandered about at will. He attacked when he encountered ultimate Dharma beasts. As for the remaining beasts, he could not even be bothered to make a move as long as they did not actively provoke him.

“If I don’t meet Third Senior Sister and Da Zhuang in the remaining 46 hours, the mid Dharma Stage beast heads that I collected previously will definitely be of no use too…”

If he did not meet He Mengxi and Da Zhuang before leaving the Guiyao planet, he would not be able to hand over his space ring to the two of them after leaving either. This was prohibited by the rules of the Alliance Hunt.

This was because he had to hand over the spoils of the hunt first thing after going out.

Furthermore, he would be isolated and prohibited from having any contact with the people who had just came out. He could only interact with those who had similarly handed over the spoils of the hunt.

The sole reason for this rule was to prevent the disciples from any one sect from passing their small number of spoils all to one person in order to help him succeed.

Meanwhile.

In the remaining time, Luo Qinghan went to a secluded place and took out the Deity-level training style and started diligently memorizing it. She intended to commit the entire thing to her memory before leaving, and thereafter destroy the stack of paper on which it was recorded.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to feel at peace.

After all, this was a Deity-level training style!

She did not feel safe at all when it was in her possession in the form of paper. She even felt repressed and stifled.

Forty hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

Just then, among the Alliance disciples from the various sects who were participating in the Alliance Hunt on the Guiyao planet, some of them started to walk out too. Many of them felt that it would be difficult to achieve greater results in the remaining four to six hours, even if they continued to hunt down beasts.

Since that was the case, they would rather leave slightly ahead of time.
