Chapter 1985

Zi Chen's mockery made Luo Meng, who was still pretending to be stupid, turn ugly. The elders beside him also had ugly expressions.

As an aristocratic family of inheritance, reputation was the most important thing.

He looked at the golden dragon in front of him and said unhappily, "Zi Chen, what do you mean by this? I already told you that Luo Yao went to the First Mainland to discuss something and hasn't returned yet. Do you not believe me?"

The golden dragon's gaze swept across the elders, and the mockery at the corner of its mouth deepened.

The other party knew that they were going to deny it and would continue to pretend to be stupid.

If Lv Peng were here, he would consider breaking the formation and teaching the Luo family a lesson. Unfortunately, Lv Peng wasn't here, so he had to keep a low profile.

Even if he had absolute confidence in himself, he was facing an aristocratic family of inheritance.

Putting aside the power of the formation, if there were more people like Luo Yao here, Zi Chen would be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, let's cut the crap. Just tell me what kind of price you're willing to pay for offending me," Zi Chen said as he pondered.

"Zi Chen, what do you mean?" Luo Meng continued to pretend to be stupid.

The golden dragon's eyes were cold. Zi Chen's cold voice rang out, "Either you tell me the truth, or I attack the city. Choose one."

This obvious threat made the elders' faces turn even uglier.

Luo Meng narrowed his eyes and stared at the dragon's eyes, which were still cold and emotionless.

The scene became quiet, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive. After a while, Luo Meng couldn't bear the pressure and sighed.

Then, he sent a secret message to the golden dragon.

Luo Meng had saved the Luo family some face by not revealing the mastermind. Zi Chen knew what he wanted to know, so he didn't care about Luo Meng's little tricks.

Just as the Luo family heaved a sigh of relief, they were shocked to find that Zi Chen didn't intend to leave. He was still standing outside, and only the golden dragon was withdrawn.

"What's the meaning of this? Why isn't Zi Chen leaving?" a Heaven State cultivator couldn't help but ask, his face full of shock.

"Maybe he's thinking about something and will leave soon," an elder beside him replied.

"Since you are thinking about something, why do you need to sit cross-legged?"

On the city wall, under the gazes of the Heaven realm experts, Zi Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

"Is he cultivating?" The astonished voice sounded again.

"The Heaven Realm Entering Saint Realm isn't something that can be entered simply by cultivating. Zi Chen is obviously doing this on purpose."

The faces of all the Heaven Realm Elders turned ashen. It was obvious that Zi Chen's actions were a complete disgrace to the Luo family.

The Luo family really didn't have any face to be blocked by one person at the door.

However, no one dared to send anyone out now, because anyone who did would definitely be killed by Zi Chen.

Looking at the cross-legged Zi Chen, Luo Meng shook his head and sighed after a long while. "You brought this upon yourself."

The group of Elders also shook their heads, a touch of regret appearing on their gloomy faces.

When they heard the news brought back by Luo Yao, they thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could really kill Zi Chen, with the three Saint Crystals, the Luo family would definitely be able to rise.

But who would have thought that Luo Yao would be defeated, and so would the assassin. In the end, the Luo family would suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Good news didn't go out, but bad news spread far and wide. They believed that this matter would soon spread throughout the Zhan Wu Continent. In the future, whenever someone mentioned the Luo family, the first thing they would think of would be a dignified aristocratic family being blocked by Zi Chen.

The Zhan Wu Continent was very large and there were many masters. Today, Luo Yao blocked the way, but in the future, there would be a second, third, or even more Luo Yaos.

In order to avoid this situation, Zi Chen had to make the Luo family lose face.

For an aristocratic family, face was the most important thing.

Today, he was guarding the Luo family's door, so the next time someone was greedy enough to make a move against him, they would have to consider the consequences of failure.

Moreover, Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, was not just a deterrent. In fact, he was also recovering his Soul Strength.

When he was assassinated, his injuries seemed to recover quickly, but as the oldest aristocratic family, their assassination methods were not so easy to resolve. Zi Chen's Soul Strength was more or less damaged, but it was not visible from the outside.

Yi Qian and Hei Hu were not far away. Seeing Zi Chen's method of blocking the door, Yi Qian nodded gently in appreciation.

This was the only way to minimize the trouble.

… …

… …

Zi Chen did not leave, making the Luo family anxious, but they could not do anything to Zi Chen. They did not dare to go out and find Zi Chen to reason with him.

The blocking of the door, along with the assassination, caused an uproar.

"Zi Chen is blocking the Luo family's door. Is he going to slaughter the entire Luo family?"

"What's impossible? He is not a benevolent person to begin with."

"The Luo family is purely unlucky to have encountered such a ruthless existence this time."

"Heh heh, these two sides are not good people. Just treat it as a dog-eat-dog situation."

"… …"

Nowadays, Zi Chen's reputation in the Zhanwu Continent is very bad. He belongs to the category of ruthless existence.

But this kind of deliberately degrading reputation is not a bad thing for Zi Chen. At least his friends will not have to worry about being retaliated against.

No one believed that the cruel and merciless Zi Chen would still have friends in this world.

… …

… …

First Mainland, Blue Feather City. Inside a dark room, Wag Wei was sitting there.

Suddenly, an austere and oppressive aura filled the room, causing the temperature to drop in an instant.

"You failed." Feeling the change in temperature, Wag Wei put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"He is very strong."

In the room, a cold voice sounded, "Even a five-ring assassination failed to kill him. His perception is also very sharp and he is also very cautious. He is the most difficult existence I have ever encountered."

"Even you professionals have failed. It seems that he is as strong as the rumours say." Wag Wei's face also showed a dignified expression.

"This time's assassination failed. Zi Chen has been vigilant for a long time. During this period of time, we cannot organize a second attack, and according to Zi Chen's keen perception, our next attack may not succeed." The voice in the dark sounded again.

"You came to see me today for something."

"Zi Chen is very difficult to deal with. Before he grows into the strongest Heaven Defying Master, we should kill him with all our strength. Of the three Saint Crystals you promised, I think we can pay him one first."

An inexplicable light flashed in Wag Wei's eyes as he glanced around the hall and said lightly, "You want to refine Saint Crystals without permission? Are you not afraid of punishment?"

"In this world, only strength can decide everything."

Wag Wei shook his head and said, "Sorry, I cannot agree to this request because I have already reached an agreement with your Elder. Forgive me for not being able to break it."

In the room, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive as traces of coldness emerged.

Feeling the change in aura, Wag Wei chuckled, "What's wrong? You want to assassinate me?"

"I don't think you need to answer in such a hurry. You should think about it carefully first. If you pay me one Saint Crystal in advance, you will be able to obtain my friendship," The hidden existence said unwillingly.

Wag Wei didn't even think about it and shook his head again, "There is no need to think about it, I don't have much time left. Even if I personally give you one Saint Crystal, you won't be able to break through in a short time. I believe Zi Chen will be here soon. When that time comes, I will have a way to deal with him."

"Very good, then I'll take my leave."

A gentle breeze blew by and the cold aura in the room disappeared.

Wag Wei looked at the open door and his indifferent expression gradually became gloomy.

"I haven't even seen your true body, so how can we be friends? Furthermore, who would dare to accept an assassin's friendship?"

Wag Wei didn't even consider the assassin's proposal. It wasn't because he was reluctant to give up a Saint Crystal, but because the assassin had no principles. Wag Wei wasn't worried about whether the assassin could kill Zi Chen after breaking through, but whether the assassin would assassinate him as well.

A Saint expert who specialized in the Dao of Assassination. Just thinking about it made one feel fear.

Furthermore, Wag Wei believed that what happened today was just the assassin's own idea and not the Heavenly Assassination Alliance's.

According to the information he had, the Heavenly Assassination Alliance had a very strict hierarchy. This kind of hierarchy even exceeded the limit of strength.

Even if Zi Chen died, this disciple with great potential in the Heavenly Assassination Alliance might not be able to obtain one of the three Saint Crystals.

Wag Wei even suspected that the assassin didn't use his full strength in this assassination.

Putting away the meaningless guesses in his heart, Wag Wei stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the room.

After passing through a few long corridors, he saw a pavilion. In the pavilion, there were a few young men sitting.

The young men sensed something and turned around to see Wag Wei. The latter smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I just had to deal with some things."

After sitting down in the pavilion, a maid served tea and refreshments. After the maid left, Wag Wei said, "Everyone, I'm sure you all know about Zi Chen."

The four young men sitting in the pavilion nodded but didn't say anything.

"Luo Yao failed and the assassin failed. They won't be able to make a move for a while, so you can only kill him halfway."

The young men's expressions changed and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

Since they knew about Luo Yao's failure, they naturally knew about Zi Chen's ambush. Before coming here, the elders in their families had made it clear that they wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
