Chapter 176: Zhao Hengjiang Thinks He’s Capable Again…. (2)

In the face of absolute strength, any Genius is a joke.

(A/N: A quote from one of my most favourite novels, magic emperor/demonic butler!)

Zhao Hengjiang took the opportunity to say, "And that bitch Su Mengxi, she didn’t hesitate to attack me to protect Chen Chuan. She also didn’t care about our Qingtian Alliance."

"Su Mengxi?" A cold light flashed in Zhao Ritian’s eyes.

"That woman indeed needs a lesson. Don’t worry, I will personally settle the score with her."

As the number one person in the Outer Sect with a Cultivation of the Great Power Realm Ninth Level Peak, he was conscious of his status and disdained to personally take action against a First Layer of the Great Power Realm who had just made a name for himself.

After a moment of deliberation, he said, "Buyun."

"Alliance Master."

A young man in white, who had been standing quietly in the shadows with an Aura as deep as an abyss and several times stronger than Yang Shihai, stepped forward.

He had a handsome face but carried a cold air; he was the Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun, who possessed the Cultivation of the Great Power Realm Eighth Level.

"Take Yang Shihai and Liu Mang with you to invite that Genius Chen over."

"Remember, be ’polite’."

Zhao Ritian gave the order indifferently, but the chill in his tone was spine-tingling.

"Yes, Alliance Master." Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun bowed and took the order.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hengjiang’s face instantly burst into wild joy and excitement.

With Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun, a powerhouse of the Great Power Realm Eighth Level, personally taking action.

Plus Yang Shihai and another Great Power Realm Fifth Level, Liu Mang, Chen Chuan would be doomed even if he had three heads and six arms.

Zhao Hengjiang then impatiently led the way: "Please follow me, I know where that kid lives."

He seemed to have already seen Chen Chuan’s miserable state of kneeling and begging for mercy, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of imminent revenge.

He led Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun and the other two, aggressively heading straight for the small courtyard where Chen Chuan was located.

Meanwhile, in the small courtyard where Chen Chuan lived.

Chen Chuan, who had just finished a round of Cultivation, was chatting with Wang Lan and Yang Shu, who shared the same courtyard, while sitting at a stone table.

Wang Lan and Yang Shu looked at Chen Chuan, whose Aura was becoming increasingly deep and restrained, their eyes filled with admiration and a hint of awe.

The battle on the Life and Death Stage a few days ago had completely shocked them.

It wasn’t just because of Chen Chuan’s terrifying strength to defeat the strong as the weak, but also because of his ruthless and decisive methods, as well as his courage to demand a huge price from the Elder of the Pill Hall and ultimately cripple Li Feiyun.

In their view, Chen Chuan must have a powerful unknown background; otherwise, he would never dare to act so boldly.

Coupled with Chen Chuan’s amazing speed of Cultivation improvement and heaven-defying combat strength, the two had long since decided to cling tightly to this powerful figure.

"Senior Brother Chen, this time you really... became famous in one battle!" Wang Lan said with a flattering tone, giving a thumbs up.

Yang Shu also quickly chimed in:

"Yes, yes, that fellow Li Feiyun was usually arrogant and overbearing. This time he was crippled by Senior Brother Chen, it’s truly heart-warming."

"In the future, in the Outer Sect, let’s see who still dares to easily provoke Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Chuan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

He knew the survival Laws here; reputation and deterrence were sometimes more important than Cultivation.

Wang Lan and Yang Shu looked at each other and felt it was time to show some sincerity.

Wang Lan lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Senior Brother Chen, the two of us went out on a mission a month ago and accidentally discovered a nearly mature thousand-year blood lingzhi in a hidden valley on the outskirts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Thousand-year blood lingzhi?" Chen Chuan’s eyes flashed.

This was a precious main ingredient for refining various Saint-Grade Medicinal Pills, containing vast blood and Qi essence.

Yang Shu added:

"That’s right, it’s definitely a thousand-year-old one! However, that blood lingzhi is guarded by a Bloodthirsty Violent Ape of formidable strength, estimated to have reached the level of the seventh or even the Great Power Realm, Ninth Level."

"The two of us have low strength and could only watch from a distance. Senior Brother Chen, you are highly skilled and can even defeat Li Feiyun; dealing with that Bloodthirsty Violent Ape should be no problem for you."

They shared this secret for the purpose of currying favor with Chen Chuan, using this Spirit Medicine they couldn’t obtain to exchange for a favor from Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan naturally understood their intentions, but this thousand-year blood lingzhi did indeed pique his interest.

He nodded and said in a calm tone, "Thank you both for informing me of this. If I can successfully obtain the blood lingzhi, I will not forget your kindness today."

Wang Lan and Yang Shu were overjoyed to hear this. To be able to get a promise from Chen Chuan, this investment was worth it.

"Senior Brother Chen is too polite, this is what we should do." Wang Lan smiled. "To avoid any further complications or others discovering it, why don’t we set off now?"

Chen Chuan also felt that there was no time to lose. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a loud bang, and wood chips flew.

"Leave? Chen Chuan, you aren’t going anywhere today!"

An arrogant and overbearing voice rang out. Zhao Hengjiang was seen leading the way, walking in with a haughty air.

Behind him followed three young men with powerful Auras.

The leader, Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun, had a cold face and eyes like lightning, scanning the three people in the courtyard before finally fixing his gaze on Chen Chuan.

Yang Shihai and another burly Great Power Realm Fifth Level Disciple, Liu Mang, stood on either side with sneers on their faces, blocking all exits.

Seeing these four people, especially feeling the terrifying Aura from Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun that far exceeded Li Feiyun’s, Wang Lan and Yang Shu’s faces turned as pale as paper.

Both of their legs trembled uncontrollably.

"The Vice Alliance Master of the Qingtian Alliance, Yue Buyun!" Wang Lan wailed in his heart, filled with despair. "And Yang Shihai and Liu Mang. It’s over, this time we’re really doomed."

Yang Shu was even more pale, almost collapsing to the ground.

"One Great Power Realm Eighth Level, two Great Power Realm Fifth Levels."

With such a lineup, one could almost walk sideways in the Outer Sect. No matter how strong Chen Chuan was, it was impossible for him to fight back.

Zhao Hengjiang, seeing Wang Lan and Yang Shu’s terrified looks, felt extremely gratified.

He pointed at Chen Chuan, his face filled with a morbid excitement and resentment, and laughed wildly:

"Chen Chuan! You little brat! You didn’t expect this, did you? I’m back, and I’ve brought the Senior Brothers from the Qingtian Alliance with me."

"The humiliation and pain you inflicted on me that day, today, I want you to pay it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

"Kneel down and kowtow for mercy! Crawl over like a dog and lick the soles of my shoes. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let Senior Brother Yue give you a quick end."

Relying on the powerful backing behind him, he acted as arrogantly as possible, as if he already held Chen Chuan’s fate in his hands.

However, facing Zhao Hengjiang’s arrogant shouting and the powerful pressure brought by Vice Alliance Master Yue Buyun and the other two, Chen Chuan still sat calmly on the stone bench, his eyes not even wavering in the slightest.

Chen Chuan slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze calmly scanning Zhao Hengjiang’s face, which was distorted with excitement.

There seemed to be an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.

That look was like he was watching a jumping, attention-seeking clown.

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became tense.

Many Disciples also noticed the situation here and looked over one after another.
