Zhu Chuang was indeed a well-known figure, the deputy leader of the Eight Great Hammers, the son of Iron Hammer Zhu Yuanhu, and most importantly, Zhu Chuang himself was extremely strong, with many heroic exploits throughout his journey of cultivation.
The only blemish, perhaps, was when he besieged the Ghost Face Man at the Flaming Volcano some years ago, and was knocked over by a single Mental Shock from the Ghost Face Man.
Although this incident had somewhat affected Zhu Chuang’s reputation, there were hardly any who doubted his strength.
After all, the Ghost Face Man was simply too powerful.
Even Whistling Wind who was at the Upper God Peak didn’t emerge from the volcano, let alone Zhu Chuang who was in the Late Stage of Upper Gods.
Some even believed that Zhu Chuang might have the potential to become a God King in the future.
…
The fact that Su Shanna was acquainted with such a prominent figure was quite unexpected for Vieri and Yibu.
Vieri immediately expressed his agreement.
It would be beneficial for the team to follow Zhu Chuang into the lake district.
As long as the few of them kept mum, no one would know about their temporary collaboration with the Eight Great Hammers.
Furthermore, for a martial artist, personal gains were of prime significance, and the tribe could not impose too many restrictions.
Yibu also remained silent, implicitly agreeing to the arrangement.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Su Shanna immediately started contacting Zhu Chuang.
“Brother Zhuang…
It’s me, Xiaona…
Yes, we would like to follow you into the Mirror Lake District.
Yes!
I know it’s against the rules, but given my current situation, could you please help me?
Please!”
As they heard Su Shanna’s cajoling and coquettish voice, both Vieri and Yibu looked rather displeased.
After a while, Zhu Chuang finally agreed to Su Shanna’s request.
Beaming with joy, Su Shanna said to Vieri and Yibu, “Done!
Brother Zhuang’s team is not far from here and they are also planning to enter the lake district.
Let’s go catch up with them now.”
They didn’t ride a shuttle; instead, they flew directly to their destination.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the temporary camp of the Eight Great Hammers.
Zhu Chuang and his team were already waiting for them.
The Eight Great Hammers didn’t have many members.
Including Zhu Chuang, there were only four people.
Normal gang members wouldn’t have the privilege to be with Zhu Chuang.
The three people beside Zhu Chuang were also in the Late Stage of Upper Gods.
When he saw Su Shanna and her two companions approach, Zhu Chuang didn’t bother introducing the others.
Instead, he asked Su Shanna, “Is your team only comprised of three members?
Don’t teams typically consist of four people?”
“Well, Brother Zhuang, we did have another member, but we got separated when we entered and we haven’t met up yet.”
Zhu Chuang nodded, “Well, it doesn’t matter.
Three will do.
But remember, if you are entering the lake district with me, you must follow my instructions and not act impulsively.
Otherwise, it would be better if you stayed behind.”
“Rest assured, Brother Zhuang, I understand the gravity of the matter and won’t cause any trouble for you.”
Su Shanna smiled radiantly, walking closely beside Zhu Chuang while completely ignoring the displeased stares from Vieri and Yibu.
Zhu Chuang also smiled.
He did not mind having a more intimate relationship with a woman like Su Shanna.
As they were preparing to set off, one of Zhu Chuang’s men said, “Deputy leader, someone is coming from that direction.”
Zhu Chuang turned around and saw a thundering cloud in the distance, soaring towards them along the main road.
“Ha ha, what a remarkably arrogant fellow, coming our way while riding a cloud!
I reckon he must be a Peak-Level Upper God.
Let’s wait and see.”
Su Shanna and the others also stood behind Zhu Chuang, watching the approaching cloud.
When the cloud neared, the jaws of Su Shanna and the others dropped in disbelief.
“No way!
He’s still alive!”
“I thought we would never see him again!
But isn’t he too reckless, flying so openly along the main road?
Isn’t he worried about encountering bandits?”
Su Shanna’s eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Lin Zhen approach.
*********
Lin Zhen also saw Su Shanna and the others, an unexpected sight for him.
Firstly, he didn’t expect to meet his teammates here, and even more surprising was that they were accompanying Zhu Chuang.
Lin Zhen did have a clear memory of Zhu Chuang.
During the siege, Lin Zhen had nearly killed Zhu Chuang with a single blow from the Sun Ring.
However, Zhu Chuang didn’t recognize Lin Zhen.
At that time, Lin Zhen had been wearing a mask, which he wasn’t now.
Seeing that Su Shanna was about to speak, at a loss for words, Lin Zhen beat her to it.
“Hahaha, Captain Su Shanna, Vieri, Yibu, it’s been a long time.
I, Lin Zhen, missed you guys so much.”
After the greeting and also hiding his real name, Lin Zhen didn’t want to reveal his identity in front of Zhu Chuang.
Su Shanna and the others were slightly taken aback initially but quickly understood Lin Zhen’s intentions.
Su Shanna frowned slightly, “Lin Zhen, where have you been all these years?
Didn’t we agree to meet up after half a year?
Why didn’t you come looking for us?
And why did you close the Dimensional Universe?”
“Didn’t I go to cultivate?
You see, I have now reached the Middle-Level God Realm.” Lin Zhen smiled.
Su Shanna gave Lin Zhen a once-over.
After many years, Lin Zhen had indeed made significant progress, transitioning from a Lower God to a Middle-Level God.
His cultivation speed was somewhat astonishing.
If they hadn’t found Zhu Chuang and his team, Su Shanna might have had a meaningful discussion with Lin Zhen.
After all, Lin Zhen was also very powerful.
If all of them moved together, they were bound to obtain more treasures and points.
But they had now found Zhu Chuang.
Su Shanna was holding on to this new pillar of strength and was about to take them into the lake district.
Therefore, the relevance of Lin Zhen’s existence was slightly reduced.
Of course, Lin Zhen saw through Su Shanna’s indifferent attitude.
But he had his own plans as well.
After greeting Vieri and Yibu, Lin Zhen said, “Captain, we had agreed that if I survived in the Volcano Group, you would give me one layer of the points you gained.
I lived for seventeen years, so our initial agreement should be fulfilled, right?”
Su Shanna remembered this arrangement.
At the time, thinking Lin Zhen had little to no chance of survival, she had said it casually, without expecting that Lin Zhen would remember and come to collect the debt.
Seventeen years had passed, and the trio had gained a lot.
They had also spent a lot of points.
Now, to share one layer with Lin Zhen, Su Shanna was indeed a bit hesitant.
She cleared her throat in embarrassment and changed the subject, “We will talk about this later.
Do you know who the man standing in front of you is?”
Lin Zhen looked at Zhu Chuang and shook his head slightly.
Zhu Chuang had been looking forward to Lin Zhen showing an admiring expression, but to his surprise, this fellow didn’t seem to know him.
He snorted disdainfully, thinking, “An ignorant bumpkin.”
Su Shanna quickly chimed in when she saw that Zhu Chuang was upset, “This is the deputy leader of the Eight Great Hammers, a superior expert who is destined to be promoted to the God King rank in the future, Zhu Chuang!
Lin Zhen, you should greet him now.”
Upon hearing Su Shanna’s introduction, Lin Zhen’s eyes showed a sudden realization.
Zhu Chuang, with a dignified expression, looked up at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, displaying the demeanor of a superior being, as he awaited Lin Zhen’s salute.
