Chapter 54: How Should I Address You?
The intense shockwave forced Chen Zhixing to take several steps back.
As the shockwave subsided, Chen Zhixing frowned slightly, his expression becoming uncertain.
Just now, he hadn’t intended to kill the black-robed man from the Spider Web, so he hadn’t used a lethal attack.
He had planned to capture this person alive to interrogate him about the "Seed Plan."
However, the black-robed man, realizing he was no match for Chen Zhixing, chose to self-destruct without hesitation!
He didn't give Chen Zhixing any opportunity!
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness were simply unbelievable.
"Neither the tentacled black-robed woman who first chased me, nor the black-robed man of the Body Path just now, showed any resistance to death. Who is brainwashing them?"
"And what exactly is this ‘Immortal Heaven’ they keep mentioning?"
Chen Zhixing furrowed his brows tightly. After pondering for a while and finding no answers, he decided to stop thinking about it.
He then looked up at the sky, lightly stepping forward.
Boom!!
Chen Zhixing soared into the sky, standing far to the side of the black-robed man Nineteen.
At the same time, Elder Zhaoguang and Elder Huixin exchanged glances, forcibly suppressing their injuries, and flew up as well. They took positions opposite Chen Zhixing, surrounding the black-robed man Nineteen.
In an instant, the situation on the scene reversed!
No one spoke. They all coldly stared at the black-robed man Nineteen, making their intentions clear.
"Oh?"
Black-robed man Nineteen squinted his eyes, his gaze sweeping over their faces.
Finally, his eyes rested on Chen Zhixing's face.
"An interesting little fellow."
The next moment.
He casually formed a hand seal, causing the space beneath him to distort.
A vortex of air gradually appeared under his feet.
He knew that given the current situation, it was impossible to kill this Fourth Peak Master of the Chen family.
"What a pity."
The black-robed man Nineteen softly uttered.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
His figure gradually sank, swallowed by the air vortex.
"Fourth Lord!"
Elder Zhaoguang and Elder Huixin looked towards Chen Tianchen, their intentions clear: Should they take action to keep him here?
Chen Tianchen shook his head gently.
"Little fellow, we will meet again."
Finally, the black-robed man Nineteen gave Chen Zhixing a meaningful glance.
Chen Zhixing remained expressionless, ignoring him completely.
The next moment.
His figure was completely swallowed by the air vortex, disappearing into the vast void.
As he left, the six-armed Asura also faded and then vanished without a trace.
Pfft!!!
Chen Tianchen could no longer hold on. His legs gave way, and he half-knelt, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Fourth Lord!"
"Fourth Peak Master!!"
Elder Zhaoguang and Elder Huixin were shocked and quickly rushed forward to support Chen Tianchen.
"I'm fine."
Chen Tianchen, his face pale as paper, waved his hand towards Zhaoguang and Huixin.
Then, he forced himself to stand and gave Chen Zhixing a grateful look.
"How should I address you? The Chen family of Ziwei will never forget your life-saving grace," Chen Tianchen said sincerely.
Chen Zhixing merely glanced at him, saying nothing, and turned to leave.
"Sir?" Chen Tianchen called out.
However, Chen Zhixing didn't look back and gradually disappeared into the vast Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Truly a peculiar personality."
Chen Tianchen shook his head. He had originally thought this person was a reclusive expert living in the mountains, who had intervened to forge a good relationship with the Chen family.
But it seemed the man had no intention of forming any connections with the Chen family.
"Fourth Lord, this person is incredibly strong. Judging by his aura, he is only at the ninth level of the Spiritual Wandering Realm, just like me and Huixin. Yet, he killed our opponent with a single, effortless strike!" Elder Zhaoguang exclaimed, looking in the direction where Chen Zhixing had disappeared, his face full of awe.
It was the first time he had seen someone in the Spiritual Wandering Realm with such terrifying strength!
It completely redefined his understanding of the Spiritual Wandering Realm!
Chen Tianchen nodded, "The world is vast and boundless. It’s not impossible for such powerful beings to emerge in the Spiritual Wandering Realm. Many seasoned cultivators, who have spent centuries in this realm, possess the strength to easily kill those of the same rank.
"It seems this Daoist is such a person.
"It’s just a shame we couldn’t learn his name. Otherwise, we would certainly offer generous thanks in the future."
Upon hearing this, both Huixin and Zhaoguang nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
If not for this black-robed man with a white face, they might have perished here today!
At that point, even the Chen family would likely have faced turmoil.
The more they thought about it, the more horrifying it seemed, sending chills down their spines.
Chen Tianchen was about to say a few more words, but suddenly something occurred to him, and his expression changed dramatically as he said:
"This is bad!"
"Quick! Go find Chen Zhaosheng and that child Zhixing!"
Huixin and Zhaoguang, startled by his words, quickly composed themselves, their faces also turning pale as they hurried off to search.
Meanwhile.
After leaving Chen Tianchen's sight, Chen Zhixing slipped into a forest.
He soon found a cave, released his spiritual sense, and upon confirming no one had followed, let out a sigh of relief.
"The gap between the True Self Realm and the Spiritual Wandering Realm is truly immense."
As he removed his black robe, Chen Zhixing recalled the battle between Chen Tianchen and the black-robed man Nineteen, sighing slightly.
This only strengthened his resolve to enter the True Self Realm as soon as possible and form his first Divine Manifestation!
He had the True Self Pill, and the Nine Gods Technique.
The only thing left was time, to choose the first Dao Seed and decide which path to take!
"After this Southern Border trial, I will return to the Chen family and break through to the True Self Realm."
"And I must find out what this Seed Plan project is all about, and what these people are up to."
A strange sense of unease welled up within Chen Zhixing whenever he thought of the first tentacled black-robed man he killed.
What that man said about him being the first Seed Plan and the missing piece of the most perfect Seed Plan.
These words left Chen Zhixing feeling inexplicably agitated.
At the same time, he felt a slight twinge of regret.
Though his actions had seemed flawless, there was one fatal flaw!
The black-robed man who took away Chen Zhaosheng's corpse had seen his true face.
It wouldn't be long before that black-robed man would connect the dots after learning about today’s events.
And then, more trouble would follow.
"Storms are brewing. All I can do is grow stronger, to gain the power to resist the coming dangers." Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with clarity.
Then.
Chen Zhixing flipped his right hand, placing the black robe into his storage ring.
In its place, he wore a previous moon-white robe and held a white paper fan.
He carefully placed the White Ten Mask close to his chest and tucked the white fan into his belt.
Then.
He staggered out of the cave, his face quickly adopting a look of terror and unease as he ran, gasping desperately and shouting:
"Elder, Fourth Uncle, where are you...?"
