Chapter 17: Zhou Tian's Golden Finger Grandpa
[In the Dungeon.]
A humid air mixed with the smell of rotting corpses spread in the dimly-lit dungeon of the Taichi Holy Land.
In one of the many cells, Zhou Tian sat on the ground with a blank and sluggish expression. With his cultivation base sealed, and his limbs shackled, he had yet to recover from the great humiliation he suffered today.
He had never suffered such disgrace as today, not even when his ex-fiancée humiliated him three years ago!
No matter what predicament he encountered, or what desperate situation he landed himself in, he had always survived and come out on top! Yet today, nothing had gone in his favor.
"Arun…"
Zhou Tian's reddened eyes glared at the ceiling as he shouted his adversary's name with great hatred. Arun's indifference as he watched him, Zhou Tian, with eyes no different from when someone watched an ant from high above made him frantic and aggrieved; he couldn't stand the shame.
"Little Chen…"
At this time, a pleasant-sounding voice came from the ring on Zhou Tian's finger, taking him aback. Immediately, rage and unwillingness clouded his face as he recalled what had transpired.
"Master, where were you?! Why didn't you respond when I called for you…"
Zhou Tian vented all his resentment at his Master.
Although all of his achievements today could be attributed to this Master in his ring, the events that transpired in the hall today had already chilled Zhou Tian's heart.
His Master, who was extremely reliable on ordinary days, suddenly disappeared at such a critical moment. Was she also afraid of that Arun?
"Little Chen, hear me first, it's not as you think!"
A faint figure of a woman with a bitter smile appeared from the ring. She didn't mind Zhou Tian taking out his anger at her, but she did indeed have her reasons for not responding to him at that time.
"There was a terrifying existence hidden in the shadows at that time whose Divine Consciousness enveloped the entire hall. I was worried that the person might be related to the power behind my fall, so I dared not show up…"
The woman in the ring explained. She was merely a remnant spirit trapped in a ring, so there wasn't much that she could do either way. If her enemies discovered her due to her negligence, then that would be the end of the road for her. She had to be cautious with every move she made.
Zhou Tian calmed down quite fast after venting his frustration. He couldn't help but be shocked as he heard his Master's explanation, so he asked, "No wonder that Arun subdued the Taichi Holy Lord so easily! Did he really come from the Upper Realm?"
Zhou Tian knew his Master's origin. She was once a mighty existence in the Upper Realm who was hunted by others to death. In the end, she could only survive as a remnant spirit that fell into the Lower Realm and possessed a ring, which was later acquired by him.
He had never expected Arun's background to be so terrifying. Zhou Tian fell silent, weakened and at a loss of what to do. Did he really have to give up on Su Wan'er and watch her fall into that pit of fire?
Zhou Tian clenched his fists, unwilling to accept that thought!
At this time, he suddenly looked outside and saw the fireworks in the sky. He smiled and asked, "Master, do you think there is a chance to create conflict between this hidden genius and Arun, so they kill each other?"
Hearing this, Mei Yan was speechless. Did she tell her disciple that her sword intent was Arun's sword light and this firework he lit up with a twelve-planet system compared to twelve small worlds and a million swords?
Even when she was unable to do things in the god realm. Thinking for disciple future she decide to hid it. otherwise, his disciple fighting spirit will shatter
