A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 591 The Bald Eagle

Chao Bufan chuckled coldly and said, "What do you think?"

As he spoke, Chao Bufan used all his skills to quickly lock every part of Eighth Master's body, and then said, "Senior, this is all I can do to help. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you."

"Kid, thanks. Now it's my turn."

The old man's voice rang in Eighth Master's mind. Chao Bufan could hear it, and so could Eighth Master. When Eighth Master heard this inexplicable voice in his mind, he immediately sensed something was wrong and roared, "Trying to take over my body? Don't even think about it."

Chao Bufan knew that what followed was a struggle between the senior and this Eighth Master for the same body. He wasn't worried at all that the Eighth Master would gain the upper hand, so he turned around and walked out, leaving the Eighth Master to fight a life-or-death battle with the consciousness within his body.

Upon seeing Chao Bufan emerge, Yuan Qiu and the other two quickly came forward to greet him. Yuan Qiu asked, "Tian Yue, where is Eighth Master?"

Chao Bufan said, "He's inside!"

"What are our plans next?" Ma Sanpao asked.

Chao Bufan thought for a moment, then said, "Here's what we'll do: the three of you go to the major sects in the Central Plains in the name of Eighth Master and make sure they arrive at Lonely City by noon the day after tomorrow. Tell them that Eighth Master has important matters to discuss with them."

"What if they don't believe it or don't go?" Tang Gun asked.

“That’s easy,” Chao Bufan said. “Those who don’t go will be killed without exception! Of course, you should give them a warning first, and I think no one will refuse to go.”

Tang Gun and the other two said in unison, "Understood, then we will go and notify the major sects now."

"Go early and come back early," Chao Bufan instructed.

"Understood," the three replied, then transformed into three streaks of light and disappeared from the spot.

"Hahaha, I did it! I did it!"

A joyful cry came from the main hall behind them, and then "Eighth Master" walked out with an excited expression.

Chao Bufan turned around and said, "Congratulations, senior. Congratulations on regaining your sight."

"Eighth Master" laughed and said, "Kid, we have to thank you for this! Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to 'create' such a physical body."

Both were overjoyed; one regained his "golden body," and the other was finally freed from the burden of being housed in someone else's body.

Chao Bufan felt a great sense of relief and asked, "Senior, now that you have the 'Golden Body,' what is your name?"

"Eighth Master" laughed and said, "Since this person is called Eighth Master, then I will call him Seventh Master. From now on, you can call me Seventh Master!"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "This is a good name. From now on, I will call you Seventh Master."

Chao Bufan cautiously tried to probe Seventh Master's cultivation level, but unfortunately, his own cultivation was too low to see through the depth of Seventh Master's cultivation. However, he was certain that Seventh Master's cultivation seemed to be higher than that of his elder brother, Tian Yue, but he didn't know what realm Seventh Master had reached. He didn't intend to ask Seventh Master, since Seventh Master wouldn't tell him even if he did.

“Not bad,” Seventh Master said, “Although I now have a physical body, this body still cannot fully bear my power, so I will need your help in the future.”

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Of course. As long as Seventh Master needs me, just ask anytime, and I will definitely help if I can."

"Good, I'm relieved to hear that," said Seventh Master, patting Chao Bufan on the shoulder. "Bufan, didn't you plan to return to the Primordial World? I'll go too, and I can take back what belongs to me."

"Uh!" Chao Bufan exclaimed in surprise, then asked, "Seventh Master, do you have anything of yours in the Primordial World?"

Seventh Master grunted and said, "That thing was given to me by my master. I was afraid that my eldest brother would covet it, so I hid it in a place that even my eldest brother couldn't find."

"Um, Seventh Master, can you tell me what that thing is?" Chao Bufan asked.

“I can’t tell you yet,” Seventh Master said. “You’ll find out when the time comes. But don’t worry, that thing is useless to you, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

"..." Chao Bufan was immediately speechless, and said with a wry smile, "Seventh Master, so, so this is the kind of person you think I am, really... sigh!"

Upon hearing this, Seventh Master paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Bufan, don't play the victim with me. I know you too well. Whenever you see something good, you want to possess it. But that thing is indeed useless to you. You'll understand when you see it. After I get that thing, I won't be afraid of my senior brother anymore. This is probably fate! When my master gave that thing to me, my senior brother happened to find out. He wanted me to give it to him, but I refused, so he's been making things difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Since that thing is so important to you, then let's go back to the past together. At least, if anything happens, I think you will protect me, right, Seventh Master?"

"That's for sure," said Seventh Master.

The two left the Eight Gates chatting and laughing.

Jade Palace.

The vulture was meditating and cultivating in his mansion when suddenly a man rushed in, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened..."

"You insolent brat, can't you see your master is meditating and cultivating?"

During cultivation, cultivators are most wary of being suddenly interrupted. Everyone knows that being interrupted at a crucial moment in cultivation can not only backfire but also cause adverse effects. Therefore, cultivators often choose to cultivate in the dead of night or when no one will disturb them.

Suddenly interrupted by his disciple, the bald eagle roared angrily, startling the disciple so much that he knelt down with a thud, trembling and saying, "Master, your disciple knows his mistake, but..."

Bald Eagle knew that his disciple wouldn't be in such a hurry to come to him unless absolutely necessary. Fortunately, he had just finished his cultivation and was currently adjusting his breathing, so he asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"

"Master," the disciple quickly said, "it's Junior Sister..."

"Linglong?" The vulture was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Linglong?"

“Master, you should go out and take a look!” the disciple said.

The vulture jumped up from the futon, then transformed into a blur and rushed out of the room.

In the main hall, Linglong held her deceased husband tightly in her arms, sitting on the floor in the center of the hall, looking as if she had lost her soul and sat there motionless.

When the vulture saw his daughter and son-in-law, he was horrified, his face changing drastically. He asked urgently, "Linglong, what happened to Zhengliang?"
