Lin Zheng did not turn around, but Wei Chi Huang was certain that Lin Zheng was smiling, a smile that came from the heart. Not only him, but even the few people beside him had a calm expression, as if their brother had just received an insignificant token! And that wolf in the floral shorts, what was that look? Indifference? Disregard? Or did it think everything was just a joke? Wei Chi Huang suddenly felt an unprecedented joy, interesting, too interesting, he hadn't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time! It seemed that coming out this time was right!

"Ha! Good, three days later, I'll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Punishment Platform! I will be the witness for this duel, and now I am looking forward to it more and more! And kid, my name is Wei Chi Huang!" With that, Wei Chi Huang vanished from everyone's sight, including Feng Luan Kong and Dou Xue Hun, who also disappeared into the air!

"Good, what a terrifying person!"

"Right, I felt like I couldn't even breathe just now!"

When Wei Chi Huang left, the Li family members suddenly let out a sigh of relief and immediately started chattering. Even the old man of the Li family had a look of shock, and it took a while for him to calm down. He gave Lin Zheng an appreciative look and then disappeared into the small courtyard.

"This person is powerful, very powerful, far beyond what I can touch now." Lin Zheng looked at the disappearing Wei Chi Huang, his heart stirred. Then Lin Zheng collected his thoughts and looked at the seven-colored token in his hand. A faint light enveloped Lin Zheng's hand, and in the center of the token, three large characters written in ancient script read "Seven Absolute Token." In the misty aura, Lin Zheng seemed to feel a wave of intent from the token, yes, a wave of intent.

Was it a determination to move forward? Was it a heroic spirit? Was it a parting of life and death? Or was it a surge of passion?

Lin Zheng threw the Seven Absolute Token to Lin Wen, as if discarding a worthless piece of paper. There were still three days left, and that was enough time to make some preparations. Lin Zheng stood there for a moment, then said, "Uncle Li, everyone, I'll go back first. We need to seclude ourselves for these three days, and I hope Uncle Li can provide some cultivation items."

"Sure, just let us know what you need. I will personally guard this small courtyard for these three days, and no one will dare to disturb you!"

"Thank you!" Lin Zheng bowed to Li Daoyuan in gratitude, then turned to Lin Qin and said, "Xiao Qin, you stay with Ruoshui these few days, no matter what, protect yourself!" Then Lin Zheng hugged Li Ruoshui and walked into the small courtyard with Lin Dao and the others, pulling the rogue wolf in as well.

Li Daoyuan stood there for a moment, then shouted, "Rouming, go fetch all the available crystals and all the Pure Essence Pills from the family. Also, have the elite members of the family surround this small courtyard. Anyone who dares to step into the courtyard, kill them! Also, the elders will guard with me! As for the outside matters, your Uncle Liu will handle them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people scattered. Li Ruoshui looked at the quiet courtyard and led Lin Qin to her own courtyard. She also wanted to work hard and fight alongside Lin Zheng!

Outside the Li family's gate, a crowd gathered, but no one dared to ask. The overwhelming fighting spirit that had just erupted vanished in an instant. Just as everyone was puzzled, a wave of overwhelming pressure enveloped them. Everyone felt their minds leave their bodies, leaving only their bodies standing there woodenly, unable to speak or even think. However, this pressure disappeared in an instant, and the suddenly relaxed crowd was drenched in sweat, looking at the Li family with shock, not daring to take another step forward.

After a long while, the Li family's gate suddenly opened, and an elder walked out and said to the crowd outside, "For the next three days, the Li family will be closed to visitors. We will meet you at the Heavenly Punishment Platform in three days!" After saying that, the elder returned to the Li family, and the courtyard was instantly surrounded by a group of martial artists, led by the two brothers, Green Mountain Tigers. The two brothers stood calmly in front of the Li family's gate, but anyone who dared to approach would instantly face their most vicious attacks.

Seeing that they could get no more information and could not visit, the crowd gradually dispersed. However, everyone already knew that Lin Zheng had likely accepted the Seven Absolute Token. For the time being, no one had the heart to care about other matters; this one event was enough to cause a great stir in the entire Ze Shui City and even the Western Seven Cities.

The Seven Absolute Token, which had not appeared for six hundred years, had reappeared!

For a time, the already bustling Ze Shui City became even more lively. People ran around spreading the news, and various noble families tried to rally different forces. They could not resist the reward of killing the person who accepted the token! Not only these external forces, but even the local forces of Ze Shui City could not resist this temptation. Many noble families gathered secretly, hoping to get a share of the pie on the Heavenly Punishment Platform in three days.

"Sir, the place has been cleaned up, and we have arranged a residence for you. Can you honor us by staying at the Dou family for these three days?" Dou Xue Hun's face showed no coldness, only a fawning expression. Feng Luan Kong, not wanting to be left out, hurriedly expressed his intentions, but Wei Chi Huang waved to stop their words, and without explanation, disappeared into the void again. Feng Luan Kong and Dou Xue Hun exchanged a glance and both let out a long sigh.

"Old Madman, what do you think this person's identity is?" Dou Xue Hun asked Feng Luan Kong.

"Don't think about it. Some things are not for us to speculate. If we accidentally learn something we shouldn't, we both know the consequences. I may be a bit crazy in cultivation, but that doesn't mean my mind is broken!" Feng Luan Kong wiped a cold sweat and said.

"Right, we'll pretend we know nothing. We only know that this person is the witness for the Seven Absolute Token. We must instruct everyone not to offend him!"

"Alright, let's each go back first! We'll discuss the matters for the next three days later!"

"Hmph, this Lin kid has good luck, he can still live for three more days. After three days..."

The two people in the air paid no attention to the people below, each drawing a wave of energy and flying back to their respective families. The powerful pressure made the common people and lower-level martial artists below pale, and they looked up in shock at the two flying away, cursing in their hearts but showing fear on their faces!

"How is it? Grandfather, we heard the thunderous drum has sounded. What did Lin Zheng choose?" Seeing Feng Luan Kong arrive, Feng Yun Kong couldn't help but ask.

"He accepted it. In three days, he will face the Heavenly Punishment Battle on the Heavenly Punishment Platform! Go and prepare well! And just his courage to accept the Seven Absolute Token, you are far from matching him! Don't mess up!"

Feng Luan Kong didn't say much more, disappearing in front of everyone.

A similar situation occurred at the Dou family. After giving simple instructions, Dou Xue Hun also entered the deep courtyard alone. They both knew, if their families had received the Seven Absolute Token, would they have done better than Lin Zheng? Dou Xue Hun suddenly remembered the smile on Lin Zheng's face when he accepted the token, and his heart became even more restless. He needed a foolproof plan, with no room for error. This time, the Dou family was betting everything, and there could be no mistakes. But thinking about the difficulty of the Heavenly Punishment Battle, Dou Xue Hun felt a bit more relieved. Was he worrying too much?

At the Bai family in Ze Shui City, Bai Yuqing stood in a small courtyard pavilion, his hands behind his back, his eyes unfocused, lost in thought. Suddenly, a figure flashed behind him, but Bai Yuqing didn't turn around. His eyes gradually cleared as he said, "Have you delivered everything?"

"Yes, it has been handed over to the Li family's head, Li Daoyuan."

"Alright, you can go now." Bai Yuqing waved his hand and fell back into deep thought.

"Hmm? Wei Chi Huang! It's been a long time since you've been here. Could it be for the Seven Absolute Token?" In an unknown hall, a middle-aged man in a blue robe slowly said. The middle-aged man pushed the tea he had poured to the side and poured a second cup. Suddenly, Wei Chi Huang appeared in the hall, walked straight to the middle-aged man, and sat down. He picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp, then said somewhat displeased, "I'm not Wei Chi Huang anymore. Don't mention those two words again!"

"Ha ha, you're still the same, just like... just like those years..."

"I'm here only to be the witness for the Seven Absolute Token Heavenly Punishment Platform Battle!"

"I heard the person is called Lin Zheng?"

"Yes, a very interesting person! And very strong! Extremely strong!"

"Ha ha, it's rare to hear such words from you! You've never commented on anyone like this before!"

"People change, don't they?"

"True, like some clowns trying to become the city lord!" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Do you need me to take care of it?" Wei Chi Huang frowned.

"Ha ha, I'm afraid these clowns can only make faces. Do you think they can turn the tide? Clowns are still clowns, don't you think?"

"Whatever, I'm only staying here for a few days, but maybe this time there will be a surprise!"

"Then stay here, the room is always ready!" The middle-aged man finished his tea and left without another word.

A day passed quickly. Lin Zheng and the others did not come out, and they didn't even eat. Crystals and pills flowed in continuously, and occasionally a blade of light flashed, or a pair of giant fists shot up into the sky, showing the unrest in the small courtyard! Li Daoyuan sat quietly on a high platform outside the courtyard, holding a book but not turning a page. This situation had continued for a day.

The second day was the same. Various cultivation treasures and crystals were continuously sent in, and Lin Zheng and the others still did not show up. Outside, Ze Shui City was already crowded, and some people were already queuing at the Heavenly Punishment Platform. Despite the noise in Ze Shui City, none of the four parties involved in the incident came out to respond, and everyone could only wait quietly! Waiting for the last day to arrive!

After the thunderous drum, before the battle at the Heavenly Punishment Platform, Ze Shui City was in chaos. With the news spreading across the entire Tianxuan, countless eyes were watching Ze Shui City's every move. After six hundred years, the waves were rising again. The changing Tianxuan, the different Heavenly Punishment Battle, what kind of waves would this time bring?
