Chapter 182 Each with their own calculations
After Huo Yunzi left.
Xin Yuan chuckled as he watched the old man's departing figure: "That old man isn't a good person either. He really wanted you to kill Yu Chen before he made his move. That way, you'd only be able to rely on the protection of Chaotian Palace. Heh~"
Chen Chunan remained calm and unconcerned.
As the ancients said: "Those who are kind to me without reason must have a scheme; those who benefit me without cause must have a ulterior motive."
Having already revealed himself as the so-called "Master of the New Path," it's perfectly normal for these people to have designs on him.
He was just a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to kill Yu Chen.
As for Yun Xuanzi's claim that the two families owed each other nothing, he simply ignored it.
Even without Huo Yunzi revealing the truth, he knew how precious the pill that could evade the Heavenly Punishment was.
If such a divine object is damaged because of me, even if it were on my own body, I would not let it go easily.
Chen Chunan let out a long sigh of relief, completely relaxing.
He turned to Xin Yuan with a half-joking tone and said, "I'm afraid neither of us will have a peaceful life from now on."
Knowing that his true self was now as hard as iron, the Monkey King chuckled and said, "Let's meet force with force, and fight our way to a brighter future!"
Chen Chunan shook his head at Xin Yuan: "As a great man once said, 'A single punch can prevent a hundred more!' The ancients also said, 'There are only those who steal for a thousand days, not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days.' After this matter is settled, shall we take a trip to the Central Region Dao Sect?"
Chen Chunan's reluctance to act just now was not an intentional concession.
There are only a handful of big and small members of the Dao Sect here. Even if they were killed, they wouldn't be able to intimidate the Dao Sect.
Only by personally breaking down the sect's gates and making an example of them can one truly deter the villains.
Upon hearing Chen Chunan's words, Xin Yuan shook his head and said, "No, no, if Yun Xuanzi makes a concession in public, it would be unreasonable for us to go and fight him."
Chen Chunan scoffed, "Their little tricks will probably happen much faster than you think! I just hope they're smart enough not to go to Jiangzhou! Otherwise..."
Chen Chunan's expression hardened, and a faint lightning flashed between his eyes.
After finishing their business, Chen Chunan and Xin Yuan didn't linger and went straight back to their residence in District A.
At this time, the two were unaware of the changes that had occurred to the monk.
But the monk's brow was deformed, which anyone who wasn't blind could see.
Chen Chunan immediately asked in surprise, "Master Mingxing, what's wrong with your forehead? Have you cultivated Erlang Shen's supernatural powers? But wait, Erlang Shen's third eye seems to be innate."
Upon hearing this, Mingxing, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened them with a wry smile.
"It is not due to my skill, nor do I know why, but the will of Heaven has transformed into this body and manifested as an eye."
As the monk Minghe spoke, he tried to open the eye in the center of his forehead.
Chen Chunan met the vertical eye, and a crimson light instantly invaded his mind.
Chen Chunan was suddenly startled. His innate ancestral energy surged, and his consciousness, which was sitting cross-legged in the Niwan Palace, emitted rays of light, blocking the blood-red color outside.
"Such fierce eyes!"
Chen Chunan almost suffered a mental breakdown the moment they made eye contact, and immediately cried out in alarm.
The monk Mingxing realized that he could not fully control the eye, so he had to forcibly close it.
He then bowed deeply to Chen Chunan and apologized, "My apologies! I was unable to control it and almost injured the Master! It is truly a sin!"
Chen Chunan waved his hand: "It's alright, you..."
Before Chen Chunan could finish speaking, he heard a telepathic message from his mind: "My true self! It seems we've become substitutes!"
"Huh? What happened?"
"Look!"
After Xin Yuan replied, two points of light entered Chen Chunan's eyes from Xin Yuan's eyes.
With the help of the Mind Monkey's Eye, Chen Chunan focused his attention on the monk Mingxing again, and the scene before him was completely different.
A faint, ethereal light connected the monk's third eye with the mysterious heavens.
Chen Chunan was shocked. Was this monk the new Dao Master chosen by the Heavenly Dao of this place?
I have tried to invoke the will of Heaven several times, but I have never seen Heaven choose me.
However, this is even better. All things are not connected to me. If there were a real connection, it might become an obstacle to my enlightenment.
But it's really unpleasant to be blamed for something you didn't do.
But now he himself is trying to explain that the monk Mingxing is the true leader of the new path?
Regardless of whether anyone believes it, how is this any different from the behavior of a petty person?
Chen Chunan thought about it several times, but ultimately decided not to uncover the case for the time being.
the other side
Yu Chen Daoist, who had been rescued by Yun Xuanzi, slowly awoke.
Am I already dead?
Looking at the vast expanse of white before him, Daoist Yuchen said somewhat bewilderedly.
"You're not dead yet, but you're not far from it!"
Yun Xuanzi's words instantly brought Yu Chen to his senses.
He scrambled to his feet, looking at Yun Xuanzi in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Grandmaster? What brings you here?"
Yun Xuanzi tapped Yu Chen's forehead in annoyance: "If it weren't for my disciple sending me a message, who knows what kind of trouble you would have caused! Do you think Chaotian Palace is easy to deal with? How dare you start a fight at Chaotian Palace's gate? If you have the guts to fight, at least handle it cleanly and efficiently! You almost got killed by a junior! You've really made a name for yourself!"
Yun Xuanzi's words of disappointment and frustration filled Yu Chen with shame.
He never expected that the junior would be so difficult to deal with.
His supernatural powers were incredibly strange, and before you knew it, you had fallen into his trap!
However, he suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Yun Xuanzi, "Grandmaster! That boy is the new Dao Master! Did you manage to capture him?"
It would have been better if Yu Chen hadn't brought it up; Yun Xuanzi was even angrier because of it.
A jade ruyi appeared in his hand, and he struck Yu Chen three times with it.
Yu Chen was beaten until he was grimacing.
"When you first discovered his identity, you should have either captured him with lightning speed and retreated before Chaotian Palace could react, or you should have quickly surrendered and left! Now that everyone knows he is the new leader of the Dao, do you think I would dare to lay a finger on him in Chaotian Palace?"
Yun Xuanzi's face darkened further when he thought of Huo Yunzi's appearance back then.
"My seniority is high, and unless there is a conflict of interest, Huo Yunzi must give me face and address me as Ancestor."
"Hmph! Once it comes to a conflict of interest, do you think he'd dare to kill me right here in Chaotian Palace?"
Yun Xuanzi has been reborn, but his strength has not yet recovered. Even when he was at his peak in his previous life, he was not confident that he could defeat Huo Yunzi.
They might gain a few verbal advantages by relying on seniority and save face, but that's about it.
Do you really think Huo Yunzi runs a charity?
Yun Xuanzi's words made Yu Chen Daoist's face turn pale and then red.
Only then did he realize that even if he had captured Chen Chunan, he probably wouldn't have been able to take him away.
If Huo Yunzi really had no ulterior motives, why would he stand so close?
Yu Chen then remembered that he had already taken the Golden Pill of Salvation.
This elixir, which can only be taken once in a lifetime, was originally intended as a backup for when he was undergoing tribulation.
Now he had personally cut off all his escape route.
Now I must either overcome this heavenly tribulation, or else...
No, I still have another way out!
Daoist Yu Chen lowered his head and revealed a strange smile from an angle that Yun Xuanzi could not see.
Just as he revealed a strange smile, Yun Xuanzi, who was watching him, also curled up a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.
