Chapter 532
In the past, the independent cultivators who had been invited to Penglai Pavilion had gone missing, which made Gu Chen anxious.
He had thought that this amiable elder, who was eager for talents, seemed to be hiding some unspeakable secrets.
Regardless of Penglai Island Master's intention, Gu Chen had no interest in pursuing it; he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"There are many people secretly watching me, so I can't leave directly. I must be fully prepared."
Gu Chen knew that he had only one chance. If he failed to escape, Penglai Island Master would probably remove his disguise.
However, he couldn't afford to provoke a Heavenly Abode Realm master, so he had to leave Penglai Island before the master noticed.
In the next few days, Gu Chen sent White Ape to figure out the situation inside and outside of Penglai Mountain and prepare a suitable escape route.
He began to show his interest in the Immortal Ascension Technique and even went to find Miao Fugui to discuss the problems he encountered while cultivating the Immortal Ascension Technique with him.
After a few days, Penglai Island Master finally met him again, still looking like a friendly elder.
Gu Chen didn't mention leaving again. Instead, he showed that he wanted to stay in Penglai Pavilion to deceive Penglai Island Master.
In order to win the master's trust, he had to start cultivating the Immortal Ascension Technique. After all, a Heavenly Abode Realm master wasn't easy to fool.
Considering that Miao Fugui's temperament changed drastically after cultivating this technique, Gu Chen kept an eye on him and cultivated with extreme caution.
However, he soon found something amazing. He was extremely talented in this technique!
The key to cultivating this technique was to open up countless tiny meridians in the body. It was extremely difficult, but he made rapid progress in cultivation.
He started cultivating much later than Miao Fugui, but he soon caught up with him.
This made Gu Chen feel bad, afraid that some hidden danger would appear in his cultivation.
It was hard to hide the progress of cultivation. Seeing Gu Chen's outstanding talent, Penglai Island Master was delighted and treated him more kindly.
He treated him better than any other disciple in Penglai Mountain, and Miao Fugui's treatment was much worse.
This made Miao Fugui feel both envious and jealous. Gradually, his attitude towards Gu Chen changed, and his words were filled with sarcasm.
After entering Penglai Pavilion for only half a month, Miao Fugui had turned from an honest individual cultivator into a hot-tempered and insatiable person.
Gu Chen saw everything, and his heart felt even colder.
He didn't know what kind of strange cultivation technique the Immortal Ascension Technique was. Perhaps Miao Fugui's change wasn't completely related to the Immortal Ascension Technique, but he knew he had to leave.
After staying in Penglai Pavilion for 75 days, Gu Chen had slowly gained the trust of Penglai Island Master. At this moment, Penglai Island Master went out!
Gu Chen realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After hearing the news, he immediately returned to his room.
Not long after, he came out of the room and went to find Miao Fugui. All of this was seen by the Penglai Mountain disciples in the dark.
He stayed under everyone's nose for a whole day without arousing anyone's suspicion.
However, no one knew that during this period, another figure had sneaked out of Penglai Pavilion with the white ape and left the island where Penglai Mountain was located!
While the Penglai Island Master wasn't here, Gu Chen finally left Penglai Mountain after 75 days with the clone of Penglai Island Master to distract others.
He soared into the sky with the white ape and flew in the direction of the continent. He breathed in the air of freedom and felt very relaxed and at ease.
It was a torture to face an unfathomable cultivator and be on guard against his sneak attacks all day long.
Soon, he flew 705 kilometers away. At this moment, his clone was still talking and laughing in Penglai Pavilion, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly. The coastline of the Immortal Spirit Continent was close at hand, and he was about to land.
"Hey, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you."
At this moment, a young man wearing luxurious clothes and a purple-gold crown walked out of the void and looked at Gu Chen with a teasing expression.
"It's you, Daoist Xiao." Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Jing was in a good mood when he saw Gu Chen.
He and the others had guarded the area around Penglai Mountain for many days, but Gu Chen hadn't left yet. The Gu Family hadn't sent anyone over after receiving his message.
He had thought that the 75 days would be wasted, but Gu Chen happened to come to the direction he was guarding. It was a prey that came to him.
"Hand over the Great Evolution Fruit."
Xiao Jing said coldly in an authoritative tone that left no room for negotiation.
"What if I say no?"
A smile appeared on Gu Chen's face as he glanced around.
This place was close to the coast, and there were many cultivators coming and going. If they fought here, it would attract attention.
If he wasn't careful, the fact that he secretly left Penglai Pavilion might be exposed, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, he had to end the battle quickly if he wanted to fight!
"It seems like you've forgotten the palm strike from last time," Xiao Jing said with a sneer.
While they were confronting each other, a boat of people passed by and was surprised to see them.
"Huh? Isn't that Xiao Jing from Tiandao Sect? The other one is the impostor from the Ocean-Sky Feast! "
"What are they doing? It looks like they're going to fight."
This boat of people came from a small faction on Penglai Island and happened to attend the Ocean-Sky Feast that day. Therefore, they immediately recognized the two people who were the center of attention on that day.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the people on the boat couldn't help but watch from afar and gloat.
"That impostor is in trouble. I think Xiao Jing from Tiandao Sect is not willing to lose the reward that day and is trying to get back at him."
"If it weren't for Penglai Island Master's plea that day, that impostor would have been killed by Xiao Jing with one palm strike. It seems like he won't be so lucky today."
Since Gu Chen couldn't even take one palm strike from Xiao Jing that day, everyone thought that he would lose without a doubt.
Gu Chen noticed that there were cultivators who had stopped to watch from afar. There were also people further away who had noticed the commotion. He could not help but frown.
He had to end the battle quickly!
He didn't want to return to Penglai Mountain no matter what, so he lost all patience with Xiao Jing who was blocking his way.
"F * ck off!"
Gu Chen moved as fast as lightning and fiercely slapped Xiao Jing with his palm, exactly the same as that day.
"Hey, idiot! Didn't you learn your lesson last time?"
Xiao Jing looked at him with disdain and slammed his palm as usual.
Boom!
Their palms collided, and Xiao Jing's expression changed drastically the moment the two palms collided!
He felt like he was hit by a huge ancient mountain, and he couldn't fight back at all!
Crack!
Due to his carelessness, he didn't put up much defense against Gu Chen's palm, and the bones in his arm were shattered! Thud!
Thud! Thud!
