Chapter 845: Bringing Charges

In the blink of an eye.

Night fell.

Led by Chu Chenglong, a group of Earth martial artists found Sun Zhe, demanding an explanation for the complete blockade of the desert by extraterrestrial forces.

Of course, a significant number of Earth martial artists expressed their support for Sun Zhe.

Chu Chenglong angrily said, “Sun Zhe, you’re too reckless. You’ll get us all killed like this! If we manage to return, I’ll report you to His Majesty! No matter what Fourth District Martial Hero you are, you won’t escape heavy punishment!”

Sun Zhe smiled calmly and asked, “So, Steward Chu, do you have a way not to get everyone killed?”

Chu Chenglong said in a deep voice, “Your arrogance earlier has left no room for maneuver. Those outer domain people have completely sealed off this desert; no one can get out!”

Sun Zhe waved casually, tossing the Immortal Scripture to him, and laughed, “Fine, I’ll give you the scripture, go negotiate with them.”

However, Chu Chenglong didn’t dare to take the scripture because it had become a hot potato; whoever took it would die.

The wolves, tigers, demons, and monsters of the outer domain are all eyeing this Immortal Scripture!

Chu Chenglong snorted coldly and said, “When we return, you must submit this Immortal Scripture to Changwu Pavilion! You can exchange it for points, and with those points, you can redeem anything you want at Changwu Pavilion.”

Sun Zhe shrugged, “Fine, I’ll hand it over to you now; do you dare to take it?”

Chu Chenglong said, “Just keep in mind that this Immortal Scripture is Hua Country’s treasure and must not fall into outer domain hands!”

Sun Zhe suddenly shouted, “Are you deaf? I asked if you dare to take it! Just answer whether you dare or not; what’s the use of rambling on and on?”

Chu Chenglong was stunned by the shouting, his face turned red, and he shook with anger.

Holding a high position in Changwu Pavilion, no one in Hua Country dared to speak to him like this.

Sun Zhe stepped closer to him, “Weren’t you going to submit it? I’m handing it over to you now, take it! If you have the ability to protect this Immortal Scripture, you take it and guard it!”

Chu Chenglong slowly backed away, “Sun Zhe, what are you trying to do? I’m the team steward!”

Sun Zhe stopped and suddenly laughed, “Steward Chu, is it so hard to admit you’re a coward?”

“Precisely because this Immortal Scripture must not fall into outer domain hands, I intend to kill them all, is there something wrong with that?”

“Or does Steward Chu think you have enough leverage or strength to negotiate with them, make them give you face, and give up this Immortal Scripture without a fight?”

“You have the guts to confront me but don’t have the courage to take the Immortal Scripture to negotiate with them?”

“In the end, you’re only brave within your own circle.”

Sun Zhe summoned the scripture into his hand, “If you don’t dare to take it, then leave.”

Chu Chenglong gritted his teeth and remembered this grudge deeply, turning around angrily and leaving.

Being reprimanded publicly by a young brat, he felt this was the greatest humiliation of his life!

After Chu Chenglong left, Sun Zhe looked at the crowd and said, “I need to recuperate now, so please leave. In the coming days, we Earthlings should stay close together, don’t spread out too much.”

“…”

A short while later.

After the crowd dispersed, three senior figures, Madman Zhang, Tian Yun, and Old Man Meng approached Sun Zhe.

Madman Zhang patted Sun Zhe’s shoulder, “Never expected you were the Conical Hat Hero, kid; impressive, you hid it well!”

“Hahaha… To be honest, watching you roast Old Man Chu just now was satisfying; well done!”

Sun Zhe smiled and said, “Thanks for holding back in the underground martial arena, seniors.”

Grandmaster Tianyun chuckled bitterly, “Are you mocking us, young friend? With your strength, even if we didn’t hold back, you would have won regardless.”

Sun Zhe humbly replied, “But the situation was special at the time. If it had been a full-scale battle, I wouldn’t have been a match for the three seniors.”

Old Man Meng waved it off, “It’s all in the past, why dwell on it. By the way, young friend, are you confident about the situation three days from now?”

Sun Zhe was silent for a moment, then shook his head, “Honestly, I have no absolute confidence.”

As his words fell, the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.

Madman Zhang laughed openly, putting his hand on Sun Zhe’s shoulder and said, “Though we lack strength, when the time comes, we’ll fight to the death to keep the Immortal Scripture from falling into the hands of outer domain thieves.”

“Anyway, I, Madman Zhang, will fight alongside you to the end! Even if I can’t kill them, I’ll take a bite out of them!”

Sun Zhe respectfully said, “It would be great if everyone had the same fiery spirit as the senior.”

Tian Yun said, “Young friend, your words just now were very meaningful, and very accurate.”

Sun Zhe was puzzled, “What did I say?”

“You said we Earthlings should stay close together, and not spread out too much.”

Sun Zhe smiled, “Indeed true.”

“Alright, young friend, focus on resting; we’ll be settled nearby, so you can come to us anytime if something comes up.”

“…”

Watching the three seniors leave, Sun Zhe stood up and glanced at Yao Yuelong, who had been silently standing at the side, giving her a gentle look.

“Long’Er.”

Yao Yuelong walked to his side and asked worriedly, “Are you hurt?”

Sun Zhe shook his head, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, “Three days from now, there’ll be a fierce battle. Wouldn’t you rather…”

“I will be with you.”

Yao Yuelong interrupted him, her eyes full of determination.

Sun Zhe pinched her nose and said, “I need to break through to the Soul Void Realm now; protect me.”

“Okay.”

Just as he was about to sit cross-legged, a wind suddenly arose, carrying a familiar fragrance.

Sun Zhe turned and looked at the approaching figure in a white dress, his eyes brightening, “Long time no see.”

Consort Yun feathered lightly beside him and smiled, “Long time no see, I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Sun Zhe asked, “Did you come to find me for something?”

Consort Yun glanced at him, “May I speak with you in private?”

Upon hearing, Sun Zhe looked at Yao Yuelong.

Yao Yuelong remained expressionless, “Go ahead.”

Presently.

Consort Yun led Sun Zhe to a secluded spot.

She handed him an elixir and said, “This Solid Soul Pill was left by our Jiang Family’s ancestor, it will help you break through the Soul Void Realm.”

Sun Zhe didn’t take it, asking, “How did you know I needed to break through the Soul Void Realm?”

Consort Yun raised her hand, brushing a few fragrant strands of hair behind her ear, “I overheard those outer domain old men talking at the martial venue.”

Sun Zhe looked at the Solid Soul Pill glowing faintly in her hand, “This elixir is too precious.”

Consort Yun rolled her eyes at him and forced the pill into his hand, “I’m not giving it to you for free.”

“What do you want?”

Consort Yun looked around, a blush rising on her face, and whispered, “I need your Yang Essence.”

“Uh…”

Sun Zhe also looked around, “There are many people here, do you really want to do it now?”

Consort Yun snorted coquettishly, suddenly pulling him by the hand toward a nearby hill, “I’m about to break through, I need your Yang Essence urgently.”

Sun Zhe asked, “Is it just because of this?”

Consort Yun gave him another big eye-roll, saying coyly, “I’m feverish and itchy; is it okay if I want some Mugwort?”
