Recovery status.
Chen Sheng rotated his neck, activating his muscles and bones.
Cracking sounds like frying beans suddenly burst inside his body.
Immediately after,
his figure flashed.
He disappeared from where he stood.
Half an hour later.
Chen Sheng had already arrived at the location that Vermillion Bird mentioned.
His speed wasn’t fast.
At least for Chen Sheng at present.
He had countless methods to cover this one thousand kilometers in even shorter time.
But,
that would create too much commotion.
Based on the message sent by Vermilion Bird, Chen Sheng decided it was better to keep a low profile.
Therefore,
all the way he came.
He stayed in sparsely populated areas and kept his speed at twice the speed of sound.
Stopping his steps,
Chen Sheng’s figure appeared in the mountain forest.
“Yo, you’re here!”
The voice came from above.
Chen Sheng looked up.
It seemed Vermillion Bird had been waiting for a while.
He leaned against a tree branch, eating a mushroom he had picked from somewhere.
The surface of the mushroom was colorful.
It had the beauty of a severe illness ward.
Surrounding them was an endless mountain forest.
Though it was easier to hide one’s figure in the city,
innocents could easily be affected once a battle breaks out.
Chen Sheng knew Vermilion Bird’s intentions just by looking.
He didn’t have any objections.
“What’s the situation in Kyoto now?”
Chen Sheng went straight to the point.
“Let’s talk while we walk.”
Vermilion Bird looked tense.
He jumped straight down from the treetops, throwing the remaining mushrooms directly into his mouth.
He gestured to Chen Sheng to follow.
Then,
his figure disappeared from where he stood.
Ten minutes after Chen Sheng left.
Inside the Holy Sect’s base hall.
As always.
Scattered Holy Sect personnel, either holding intercoms or looking hurried, were walking through narrow underground tunnels.
Shua!
In silence,
Four figures appeared in the hall.
Two of them wore black robes and pure black masks.
The other two were not hiding their identities.
It was the Sun brothers who had set out from Kyoto and followed Chen Sheng to Western China.
“Heh.”
“It’s not wrong to call you gutter rats.”
“Even the base is in such a remote place.”
Just after arriving,
Little brother Sun Cheng looked around,
Laughed at the dark and damp underground cave.
He didn’t seem to care that the two people beside him were the Azure Dragon and White Tiger of the Four Saints.
“Shut up!”
Seeing his younger brother talk without restraint,
Big brother Sun Sheng glared at him.
Even though he too looked down on the Holy Sect’s scum,
Now,
The two sides are on the same team.
The least necessary thing is to provoke trouble.
“Who—”
At that moment,
Fear appeared on the faces around the Holy Sect members.
No one had noticed when these four people appeared.
For a moment,
Everyone threw down the objects in their hands, showing a cautious look.
White Tiger was too lazy to argue with these people.
The muscular arm extended out from under the black robe.
The White Tiger’s token was held in his hand, with a sharp aura revealed.
“Greetings, Sir!”
Seeing the token,
The surrounding Holy Sect members’ expressions changed, and they all knelt down and saluted.
“Scram.”
White Tiger spoke coldly.
“Yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Bursting air sounds followed one after another.
Soon,
Only the four of them were left inside the hall.
“He ran.”
Azure Dragon’s voice had no ups and downs, as if not surprised.
From the very first moment they arrived, he had used his control over the air to probe the Holy Sect’s base.
Power Sect and Respected Elder’s actions didn’t even hide their intentions.
Chen Sheng’s escape had long been factored into their expectations.
“Damn mongrel.”
“He runs quite fast.”
Sun Cheng spat heavily on the ground, his face full of impatience.
He planned to get rid of this minor character as quickly as possible and then catch up with the situation in Kyoto.
This time,
He guessed quite a lot of time would be wasted.
Perhaps by the time they get back, everything in Kyoto would be over.
None of the other three people cared about his complaints.
Azure Dragon stood still,
He stretched out his arm and gently stirred it in the air with his fingers.
“His traces are still there.”
“Follow me.”
Before his voice fell,
His figure disappeared from where he stood.
The other three followed closely behind.
In terms of catching up on the road, they were not slower than Chen Sheng, only faster.
Azure Dragon held the power of the air.
It could reduce air friction, making their already terrifying speed increase once again.
And they wouldn’t even make much noise in the process.
Thus,
The four of them quickly approached Chen Sheng’s location.
“You’re a lucky kid.”
“There are a total of four people coming after you this time.”
In the mountain forest.
Vermilion Bird led the way.
As they moved, he told Chen Sheng everything he knew.
“So, it means that all the major sects around Kyoto are fighting now?”
“Our task is to temporarily stall these four people?”
Chen Sheng summarized the information.
“That’s right.”
“Don’t underestimate this task.”
“Those people are not to be trifled with. Just evading their pursuit isn’t easy.”
“The longer we hold them off, the fewer high-end forces the Respected Elder will have to deal with, and the greater our chances of winning.”
Vermilion Bird looked at Chen Sheng with approval.
However,
After hearing this, Chen Sheng fell silent.
From Vermilion Bird’s words, he had gleaned another meaning.
If the enemy had sent four high-end powerhouses to chase him,
It seemed that Li Wuji did not have an absolute assurance of victory either.
Were they really that strong?
“Don’t feel frustrated.”
Seeing that Chen Sheng didn’t say anything,
Vermilion Bird thought he was dissatisfied with their plan to escape.
He was afraid that Chen Sheng, as a young and impulsive person, would want to fight the four pursuers and then return to help in Kyoto.
He hurriedly explained.
“Your strength is greater than mine, and your talent is good enough.”
“But you haven’t been cultivating long enough.”
“Among them, don’t even mention Azure Dragon and Power Sect’s Deputy Sect Master Sun Cheng.”
“Even if it’s just the remaining two, they would be tough for us to handle.”
“Please listen to me—”
While Vermilion Bird was still trying to persuade him,
He suddenly turned around and saw that Chen Sheng had stopped running.
“Damn it!”
Young people just can’t stay calm.
Vermilion Bird cursed under his breath.
He didn’t believe for a moment that they had any chance of winning.
A reckless confrontation now would lead to their total annihilation.
He quickly returned to Chen Sheng’s side.
“Listen to me.”
“As long as we have the green mountains, we won’t be afraid of having no firewood.”
“I, your Brother Zhu, have eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. I’m absolutely right.”
As he spoke,
Vermilion Bird grabbed Chen Sheng’s arm, ready to continue running away.
Every second they delayed,
The greater the chance the pursuers would catch up to them.
They had to make the most of every moment.
However,
Despite Vermilion Bird’s efforts, Chen Sheng remained motionless, as if rooted to the ground.
“It’s too late.”
“You’re too slow. We’ve already been caught.”
Chen Sheng looked back towards the dense forest.
Vermilion Bird was stunned.
He didn’t even have time to care about Chen Sheng saying he was too slow.
Following Chen Sheng’s gaze,
In the next second,
Without a sound,
Four figures appeared before the two of them.
Their terrifying aura made the surrounding air feel somewhat oppressive in an instant.
Vermilion Bird’s face darkened.
The worst scenario had indeed happened.
“Finally caught up.”
“You little bastard!”
Sun Cheng spat heavily on the ground again.
“I’ve been counting for you. For every extra minute you waste, I’ll torture you for an extra day.”
He stared at Chen Sheng with murderous intent.
Xiang Li’s order was not to have the Sun Brothers kill Chen Sheng outright,
But to capture him and bring him back to Power Sect, so he could die in endless pain and torment.
That would appease the souls of Power Sect’s disciples in heaven.
Sun Cheng was already intimately familiar with Chen Sheng’s appearance.
He naturally recognized him at first glance.
Correspondingly,
As soon as Sun Cheng spoke,
Chen Sheng knew he was from Power Sect,
Because only Power Sect people called their enemies names like “bastard”, “trash”, and “scum”.
No one knew who had first started this habit.
The Eye of True View was instantly activated.
Chen Sheng glanced over the four,
And he quickly gained a basic understanding of their strength.
The basic attributes of each person were around two to three thousand.
Even if they had some kind of boost, they probably wouldn’t exceed 100,000 points.
Pathetically weak.
Assessment concluded.
Four pieces of trash.
In that case…
Just as Chen Sheng was about to take action,
An explosion suddenly sounded.
“RUN!”
Vermilion Bird’s roar exploded in his ears.
He didn’t continue running away.
Instead, he turned into a streak of flame and quickly charged towards the four.
At the same time,
Flames quickly enveloped Chen Sheng’s body.
The temperature was incredibly high.
Even with Chen Sheng’s current Constitution of nearly 5,000 points,
The high temperature caused the hairs on his body to curl and char.
This temperature was much higher than what Vermilion Bird had demonstrated when they first met.
But that was all there was to it.
The flames burst forth by Vermilion Bird were not meant to harm Chen Sheng, but to send him away.
