Chapter 783

In the depths of this group of palaces, there was a lavish hall, and there was a large meatball-like man lying lazily on a large golden lounge chair with a large belly.

This man had long and thin eyes, a flat nose, and an extremely large mouth, giving him an extremely hideous appearance. His skin was a dark golden color, and one could faintly see a series of shimmering golden patterns.

There were two golden-robed female servants kneeling to the side, kneeling and kneading the man's body.

The two women both had the bodies of humans and the tails of snakes, and they wore a pair of golden gloves on their slender hands that were shimmering with golden light. They were clearly immortal treasures.

As the two women kneaded the man's body, streaks of golden light shot forth from the gloves, causing the nearby air to crackle as they pressed down on the burly man's body.

There were beads of sweat on the foreheads of the two women, clearly indicating that they were exerting all of their strength.

"Hmm, not bad. That's the place. Apply a bit more force..." The burly man's eyes were half-closed, and he wore an expression of enjoyment.

The two snake women applied even more force upon hearing this.

At this moment, the meatball man suddenly raised his eyebrows. He sat up from his lying position, and a strange look flashed across his slender eyes.

The two snake women stopped upon seeing this.

The burly man's eyes narrowed before he waved a hand, and he said, "Stand down."

His body was massive, but his voice was very sharp, making one want to laugh involuntarily. However, the two snake women lowered their heads and bowed, not revealing the slightest hint of amusement on their faces, and they retreated.

The burly man waved a hand, and a purple disk shot forth from his hand, hovering in mid-air as it rapidly rotated in mid-air.

Dazzling purple light radiated from the disk, then condensed to form a purple formation.

A purple-robed middle-aged man appeared within the formation. He appeared to be around 37 or 38 years of age, and had a head of elegant white hair that was tied up in a tall crown, giving him a handsome and refined appearance.

There was a faint purple mark on his glabella that had seeped into the depths of his skin. It appeared to be an ancient rune that was releasing bursts of purple light, and it was extremely mysterious.

The burly man chuckled, and said, "Oh? Isn't this the First Prince?

You should be at your busiest right now, right? Why do you have the time to contact an idler like me? "the meatball-shaped man chuckled.

"You jest, Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino. I've always admired your cultivation and strength.

It's just that I heard that a few days ago, you had a fierce battle with that Black Weasel and injured some of your vitality. I was afraid that I would disturb your recovery, so I didn't greet you. Now it seems that Fellow Golden Rhino has completely recovered. This is truly a matter worthy of celebration. "The purple-robed man chuckled, giving off a feeling of a spring breeze.

Shockingly, this meatball man was one of the Ten Troubles, the Golden Rhino King, a ferocious beast king at the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Eldest Prince, could it be that you've come specially to mock me this time?" The Golden Rhino King's expression instantly became incomparably gloomy, almost as if it could scrape frost off his face.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino, please don't misunderstand. The reason why Fellow Daoist lost in the previous battle is that your Mara Golden Body hasn't reached the mastery stage. I've recently obtained a few Metal Essence Dao Fruits. Perhaps they can help Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino go a step further." The purple-robed man said lightly.

"Metal Essence Dao Fruit!

Is this … true? "The Golden Rhino King suddenly stood up. A fiery light flashed across his eyes as he asked somewhat anxiously.

The purple-robed man smiled without saying a word.

"Eldest Prince, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking for me this time?" The Golden Rhino King regained his composure and said.

"It's never tiring to talk to smart people. I want to ask Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino to do something for me. After it's done, the Metal Essence Dao Fruit will be yours." A trace of killing intent flashed across the purple-robed man's eyes.

"Eldest Prince, please speak your mind." The Golden Rhino King said without hesitation.

"Make a person disappear from this world forever." The purple-robed man's voice was calm.

"Oh, who?" The Golden Rhino King didn't seem to be surprised at all when he heard this.

The purple-robed man didn't speak. He raised his hand and waved. A ray of purple light flew out from the formation and landed in the hall, turning into a purple light screen.

Two figures appeared on the light screen. One of them had a head of curly white hair and a pair of spirited eyes; it was none other than Shi Chuankong. The other was of a medium build with dark skin and an ordinary appearance; it was none other than Han Li.

"This person, I remember he's …" The Golden Rhino King's eyes flashed and fell on Shi Chuankong. As for Han Li, he was automatically ignored.

"Yes, he's the Thirteenth Prince, Shi Chuankong. He's currently in your Shihuan Mountain Range. According to my judgment, he's in your Golden Rhino Territory.

As long as you can get his head and the silver lute on his body, I'll give you two Metal Essence Dao Fruits. "The purple-robed man said slowly.

When the Golden Rhino King heard this, greed flashed across his face, but he immediately frowned and showed a struggling expression.

"Eldest Prince, although I'm tempted by the Metal Essence Dao Fruit, I also heard that this Shi Chuankong is quite favored by the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord's anger isn't something I can bear. You'd better find someone else for this matter." The Golden Rhino King shook his head and said.

"My father is now in closed-door cultivation. Before he went into closed-door cultivation, he already passed down a message to us brothers to decide the successor. I've said all this, Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino should understand." The purple-robed man said lightly.

"Oh, if that's the case, I can consider it.

However, Shi Chuankong's subordinates aren't weak. Killing him will offend a lot of people. "The Golden Rhino King said slowly.

"Haha, the Golden Rhino King, are you afraid of offending people?" The purple-robed Youth laughed.

"Your Highness, you don't have to provoke me. I won't fall for it. If you want me to take action, I can. You have to pay two Metal Essence Dao Fruits as a deposit. When I get that person's head and the lute you want, you have to give me two more Dao Fruits." The Golden Rhino King said with a smile.

"How precious is the Metal Essence Dao Fruit? Fellow Daoist Golden Rhino is asking for too much."

The purple-robed man's expression didn't change. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a trace of displeasure in his tone.

"Asking for too much?

That's not the case. Although the Metal Essence Dao Fruit is precious, it's not worth mentioning compared to what Your Highness wants.

As far as I know, Your Highness's thirteenth brother has always been valued by the Sacred Lord. He's a big threat to you. It's a good deal to use four Metal Essence Dao Fruits to get rid of a big enemy. I happen to be such a suitable trading partner. "The Golden Rhino King smiled slyly.

"At most three, and I'll give it to you after you've completed the task." The purple-robed man pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Give me one in advance. I won't take action if I don't get any benefits." The Golden Rhino King shook his head and said firmly.

"Alright, but if you can't complete the task, not only will you return this Metal Essence Dao Fruit, but you'll also have to add some interest.

By the way, the person beside him should be at the Early-stage of Taiyi Realm. "The purple-robed Youth nodded and said.

"Hehe, it's said that Shi Chuankong is only at the Golden Celestial Realm. Even if he has an Early-stage of Taiyi Realm as his helper, how can I fail if I take action personally?

Your Highness, just prepare the fruit and wait for the good news! "The Golden Rhino King laughed as if he had heard something extremely funny.

"Then I'll wait for the good news, Brother Golden Rhino." The purple-robed man said, and with a wave of his hand, his figure disappeared in a flash.

However, the light emitted by the purple disc did not disappear. Instead, it became even brighter. Countless silver runes flew out from it and quickly formed a silver magic array.

Buzz buzz!

The silver magic array suddenly shone brightly, and countless silver rays of light gushed out from it.

Then, a golden light flashed in the middle of the magic array, and a fist-sized golden fruit appeared.

There were golden spots the size of a fingernail on the round fruit, and they were flashing with golden light. It looked extremely extraordinary, and it even emitted surging waves of the Law of Metal Attribute.

The Golden Rhino King's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the golden fruit. After examining it carefully for a moment, his face revealed a hint of joy.

"Someone, call Iron Feather over."

The Golden Rhino King raised his voice and said. At the same time, he carefully placed the Metal Essence Dao Fruit into a jade box, pasted several talismans on it, and kept it.

"Yes."

A golden-robed servant appeared outside the hall. After responding, he turned into a golden light and flew into the distance.

After a moment, a dark green light flew over from afar and landed outside the hall. The figure of a short man in a green robe appeared.

This person's skin was a strange green color, and he was only five feet tall. He looked like a youth that had not grown up, and the shape of his face was also that of a baby.

However, his body was extremely strong, and his muscles were stacked on top of each other. He gave off an extremely uncoordinated feeling.

"Lord Iron Feather!" When the guard outside the hall saw the person, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he immediately saluted respectfully.

Iron Feather did not even look at the guard outside and walked into the hall.

The short man prostrated on the ground and said with incomparable respect, "Greetings to the king." His voice was also very rough.

"Iron Feather, you've come.

I've already said that you, Copper Feather, and Silver Feather don't have to salute me when you see me. Quickly get up. "The Golden Rhino King stood up and personally pulled Iron Feather up, and said gently.

"You are the king, and we are your subordinates. Saluting to you is a matter of course," Iron Feather said respectfully.

"Sigh, up to you." The Golden Rhino King sighed and said.

"May I know what the king has called me over for?" Iron Feather asked.

"Bring some men to search the territory, find this person, and bring back his head and all his belongings."

The Golden Rhino King flicked his finger, and the image of Shi Chuankong and Han Li flew out, and stopped in front of the short man. He pointed at Shi Chuankong with one hand, and ordered.

"People of different clans?" The short man's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a cold voice.

"That's right. Iron Feather, I know you hate people of different clans. I don't care about the other parts of this person's body, but you must bring back his head intact." The Golden Rhino King instructed.

"Rest assured, my king. I understand." Iron Feather heard the words, and his eyes flashed fiercely, and he nodded.

"This person's cultivation is at the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage, and the person beside him should be his guard. He is at the Early Stage of Taiyi Stage.

I allow you to mobilize all the manpower in the Golden Rhino Territory. You must do it as soon as possible! "The Golden Rhino King continued, but he didn't tell Shi Chuankong's identity.

"Rest assured, my king. I will definitely bring back his head within a month." Iron Feather promised proudly.

"Mm, go." The Golden Rhino King didn't say anything else.

Iron Feather bowed again, turned around, and left the hall. Very quickly, he turned into a green light and flew into the distance.

"Hmph, what kind of status do I have? Why would I personally take action for a mere Golden Immortal? If the other old things knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at me for bullying the weak?" The Golden Rhino King looked at Iron Feather's figure, and said disdainfully.
