Inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a colossal painting originally adorned the center, towering as high as three people stacked upon each other. What made it unique was that it wasn't painted with colors but intricately sculpted from various colored pieces of glazed jade. On the wall, a brilliant moon rising from the sea was exquisitely carved, with mist forming over the waters, making the moon appear and disappear.
For this very reason, this work of art was named "Bright Moon."
This painting was valued at over ten thousand primordial stones.
Anyone entering the Drunken Immortal Pavilion would first see this painting, then gaze upon it and sigh in admiration of its beauty. To such an extent that this painting had become a distinguishing symbol of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was founded 60 years ago. And this painting had also existed for 60 years. One could say that since their inception, these two things had been inextricably linked.
But today, this exquisite work of art, crafted from glazed jade, was shattered into smithereens by a single punch from Chu Hao!
Small fragments of jade rained down, creating jarring echoes all around.
Fang Xue, standing outside the door, was so frightened she froze.
On the first floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the numerous cultivators were also stunned.
"Heavens, is this kid insane? For 60 years, no one has ever dared to cause trouble in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Who doesn't know that this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is the property of the Liu family! The Liu family is backing this place!"
"Although the Liu family dropped to a second-tier family three years ago, who truly dares to treat the Liu family as merely a second-tier family? Just their guard squad of twelve Great Grandmaster Realm cultivators is enough to sweep through any second-tier family!"
Everyone gasped in awe and fear, wondering who Chu Hao was to dare cause such a commotion.
Every gaze converged on Chu Hao, and then, in the eyes of the crowd, extreme astonishment slowly emerged!
For 60 years, the first person to dare cause trouble in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was actually such a young man!
He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, perhaps?
"I thought he wanted to seek justice from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I didn't expect him to be so foolish and reckless. Punching and shattering the Bright Moon painting—this action is indeed shocking, but how can you withstand the wrath of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion? Even the wrath of the Liu family? Truly a fool, this person is certainly dead." Fang Xue's eyes revealed a hint of mockery.
Around them, there were also sighs.
In everyone's eyes, this commotion meant Chu Hao had already stepped halfway into the gates of death.
Chu Hao and Chu Ling Er stood together, Chu Ling Er's eyes still filled with deep shock.
However, she pursed her red lips but said nothing. She only held Chu Hao's hand tighter, with even more force.
At any time, she would not abandon Chu Hao. At any time, she was willing to bear dangers together with Chu Hao!
At the same time.
On the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, inside a luxurious room.
"Brother Bai Luo, what exactly happened? Who would make you come specifically to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to apologize?"
"I have indeed experienced a rapid change today, but this story is quite long. After I apologize to that young master, I will reminisce with Manager Chu."
"Oh, by the way, Manager Chu, is there a Young Master Chu residing here at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
Before Bai Luo could finish speaking, suddenly, a loud bang erupted throughout the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion!
"Hmm? Someone dares to cause trouble in my Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
Manager Chu was a corpulent middle-aged man, dressed in expensive clothes, his hands and neck adorned with precious jewelry and jade bracelets, looking exceedingly luxurious.
"Brother Bai Luo, please wait here for a moment. I will go handle some matters and then return to resume our conversation."
Manager Chu's face turned cold. He didn't bother to finish his sentence with Bai Luo. His body moved, and he immediately rushed out.
On the first floor.
When Manager Chu saw the fragments of glazed jade scattered across the floor, his face turned completely ashen.
"No matter who you are, no matter your reason, if you dare to smash the Bright Moon painting, you will not escape death!" Manager Chu declared, his tone revealing stern killing intent. For this was no longer just about property damage, but a blow to the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion's reputation.
His anger could truly incinerate Chu Hao.
Manager Chu's words made some of the lower-stage cultivators break into a cold sweat.
"Still daring to be so calm? Do you think you have Chu Zi Ya backing you?" Seeing Chu Hao's calm expression, Fang Xue scoffed disdainfully.
"What a pity for a young life." Someone lamented.
"What's there to pity? He doesn't know how to live or die, he's just digging his own grave." Another person sneered coldly.
Almost everyone believed that Chu Hao was not far from death.
But Chu Hao grew even calmer, like a mountain, unyielding regardless of wind or snow.
Chu Ling Er tightly gripped his hand, standing beside him, not moving a single step.
"Young Master Chu!"
Just as the atmosphere reached its extreme freezing point, suddenly, a joyful voice rang out.
Soon after.
To Manager Chu's astonished gaze.
To Fang Xue's astonished gaze.
To the astonished gazes of all the cultivators on the first floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion that day.
Bai Luo quickly walked to Chu Hao's side.
Then, this manager of the entire business street, a person worthy of sitting on equal terms with Manager Chu, respectfully clasped his hands towards Chu Hao.
"Bai Luo, rushed to apologize to Young Master Chu!"
Everyone was stunned like statues!
In the silent space, only Bai Luo's voice slowly echoed.
"Bai Luo? I remember he seems to be a member of the Liu family, managing that business street, right?"
The speaker's tone carried a hint of shock. Those who knew Bai Luo were not few. Bai Luo managed an entire commercial district and could be considered a renowned figure. The key was that the Liu family stood behind him, which made even some Great Grandmaster Realm cultivators unwilling to offend Bai Luo.
