Chapter 1986

"That 'shield'."

When the four heard Ya Wei's words, their expressions immediately changed, and they all looked at Ya Wei.

In the Zhan Wu Continent, 'shield' was a familiar yet strange word.

It was familiar because many ancient families knew about the existence of 'shields', but they were all recorded in history and have disappeared for many years. For such a strange and powerful weapon, no family had the luxury of obtaining it, because whether or not it was in the Zhan Wu Continent was another matter.

The reappearance of 'shield' was deliberately mentioned by Yi Qian. Only then did the cultivators of the Zhan Wu Continent know that 'shield' really existed in this world.

"Have you found the other fragments?" One of the young men in a colorful robe asked in astonishment.

Ya Wei shook his head and said, "Not yet, but we have some clues. We have already collected four fragments and are only missing the last one. Through the five fragments, I believe we should be able to find the complete 'shield'."

"So, all that's missing is the fragment in Zi Chen's hand."

"That's right. Whoever can kill Zi Chen will get the shards of the shield. Whoever gets the one-fifth can take the risk and look for the complete 'shield'."

This was obviously another temptation, and it was no weaker than the previous Saint Crystal. The combination of the two was enough to shake the firm minds of these powerful existences once again.

The few people who had already made up their minds to not provoke Zi Chen hesitated at this moment, but they still did not immediately express their stance.

Ji Wei picked up the cup of tea that had already cooled down and took a sip. His expression was indifferent and calm. He was not in a hurry.

After a long while, one of them said, "This matter is of great importance. I have to go back and discuss it with my family."

Looking at the young man in a colorful robe, Ya Wei nodded and said, "In the Zhan Wu Continent, the Five Elements Family is a family with a long history. Dealing with a mere Zi Chen shouldn't be a problem."

The young man from the Five Elements Family nodded slightly, turned around, and left.

"Such an important matter indeed needs to be discussed." A young man with a towering head stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Immediately after, the young men left one after another. They did not immediately give Ya Wei an accurate answer, and they all said that they would go back and discuss it.

After all, the battle prowess Zi Chen had displayed was simply too strong. In addition, the young experts who had come here all had huge families behind them. Speaking of which, without the nurturing of their families, they really wouldn't have achieved what they had today.

According to the information they received, Zi Chen was still waiting outside the Luo family. When Luo Yao targeted Zi Chen, it undoubtedly brought trouble to the Luo family. Although Zi Chen's reputation was not good now, the Luo family had also become the laughingstock of the Zhanwu Continent.

Although there was a huge temptation now, everyone had to consider the consequences of targeting Zi Chen.

Seeing that everyone had left one after another, and no one had given a clear answer, Yang Wei's face did not reveal any disappointment. If these temptations could not move them, then it was fine. He still had other ways to deal with Zi Chen.

…

…

Zi Chen had been waiting at the door of the Luo family for two months, but he still had no intention of leaving.

The Luo family in the city was anxious. This time, it could be said that they had lost a lot of face.

Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. His damaged soul had completely recovered. After getting up slightly, Zi Chen stretched his muscles and bones, which made cracking sounds.

"Look, Zi Chen is moving."

"He finally moved. Is he going to leave?"

"It's been two months. Zi Chen is finally leaving."

As soon as Zi Chen moved, the cultivators in the city who were responsible for watching Zi Chen noticed it and immediately cried out in alarm.

Soon, the news spread. One after another, Heavenly Realm experts appeared on the city wall, nervously watching Zi Chen.

As long as Zi Chen left, this matter would be completely over.

Luo Meng, who had rushed over after hearing the news, also nervously looked at Zi Chen outside.

Zi Chen stretched his muscles and walked forward under the nervous gazes of the crowd. However, when he arrived in front of Yi Qian, he once again stopped.

"How much do you know about Qi Wei?"

Zi Chen came before Yi Qian and asked.

When Luo Meng had transmitted to him, he had clearly told him that the reason Luo Yao had challenged Zi Chen was because of Qi Wei's reward, which was three Saint Crystals.

Although Saint Crystals could not guarantee that a Heavenly Realm expert would be able to break through the Holy Road, it still represented three chances. In layman's terms, if one was lucky, they might be able to create three Saints.

Under normal circumstances, it was already very good for a large family to have one Saint. Three Saints were unthinkable. The temptation was too great.

"Qi Wei."

Zi Chen's sudden question caused Yi Qian's expression to falter. Her bright eyes showed obvious emotional fluctuations.

"Yes, it's him. How much do you know about him?" Zi Chen asked in a low voice.

The intelligent Yi Qian seemed to have guessed the reason why Zi Chen was asking about Qi Wei. After thinking for a moment, she said, "He's recognized as the number one Heaven-Defying Cultivator, but it's just a rumor. No one has seen him in action with their own eyes. However, the Heavenly Realm experts who came from the Lofty Curve Planet with him are all shocked every time Qi Wei is mentioned."

"No one has seen him in action?" Zi Chen asked.

"Yes, no one has seen him in action, and no one knows how strong he is. However, the more it's like this, the more mysterious he is."

Yi Qian recalled the time she had spent with Qi Wei and said, "Usually, he has a good temper and is very popular with women. However, when I'm with him, I always feel uncomfortable."

"Oh, I'm different from him. I almost never fight with others because I don't have any enemies. However, he's different. He wasn't born in a big aristocratic family, and no aristocratic family supported him. He relied entirely on himself to achieve what he has today. During his growth, he had many enemies. However, until all of his enemies disappeared, no one has seen him in action."

When Zi Chen heard this, his expression changed. He also didn't come from a big aristocratic family. Throughout his growth, he had many enemies as well. However, there were too many people who had seen him in action.

However, no one had seen Qi Wei in action. It was clear that it wasn't that he didn't attack, but that when he attacked, he killed everyone around him.

Once or twice was fine, but if he did it every time, then this person was too terrifying.

At the very least, in terms of temperament, he was an extremely ruthless existence.

"This time, Qi Wei represents the highest ruler of the Lofty Curve Planet. After coming to this world, he has already destroyed two hidden aristocratic families in the First Mainland."

After a pause, Yi Qian said, "After that, I went to those two aristocratic families to investigate. I didn't find any powerful energy fluctuations, nor did I find any survivors."

"He's a ruthless guy. Moreover, he's cunning enough."

Zi Chen smiled coldly.

According to the rumors, Qi Wei was strong enough, but he didn't take the initiative to fight with Zi Chen. Instead, he used other methods to kill him. This person's temperament was definitely not ordinary.

Yi Qian agreed with Zi Chen's evaluation. She nodded and said, "At first, I thought he only wanted to kill. However, after investigating, I found that he seemed to be looking for something."

"What is he looking for?" Zi Chen asked.

Yi Qian shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. He doesn't have any friends or close people. No one knows what he's thinking or looking for. Moreover … I'm a little scared when I'm with him."

"Scared."

Zi Chen was surprised when he heard this. Although he hadn't fought with Yi Qian head-on, he could see that Yi Qian's combat strength was extraordinary. At the very least, she was much stronger than Kun Te and Ji En.

However, this kind of existence actually felt scared just by being with Qi Wei. Just what kind of person was Qi Wei?

Zi Chen was a little curious about Qi Wei.

"It's an indescribable fear. It's like being targeted by a hunter or being targeted by a poisonous snake."

Yi Qian couldn't explain the specific reason. She just felt scared and didn't want to have any contact with this person, even if this person had always been gentle and elegant.

"If that's the case, I'd like to meet this person and see what's so strange about him." Zi Chen's eyes flashed a cold light.

"It's because of him." Yi Qian looked up at Zi Chen and asked. Obviously, she was referring to Luo Yao.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Three Saint Crystals."

"That's not a small amount." Yi Qian was very surprised.

The two were chatting happily outside, but in Luo Bu City, a group of Luo family cultivators and Luo family elders were anxious. They prayed for Zi Chen to leave quickly.

Zi Chen didn't learn too much about Qi Wei from Yi Qian, but it was enough to establish his prestige. When other forces were greedy, they should also consider the consequences and price.

Two people and one tiger, under the prayers of the Luo family cultivators, finally left.

On the city wall, all the Luo family cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, they were shocked to find that Zi Chen, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the city wall.

Everyone, who had just relaxed, became nervous again.

"This is the last time. If there is a next time, I, Zi Chen, will destroy the Luo family even if I have to die."

The cold voice turned into a sound wave that passed through space and the great array, resounding in the sky above Luo Bu City.

"Phew."

Hearing this voice, Luo Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, this matter was completely over.

"Only a fool would provoke you again."

Muttering, Luo Meng turned around and left. He had been too depressed recently, so he decided to relax.

In the third continent, even the Luo family didn't dare to target Zi Chen, so the other forces naturally didn't dare to find trouble with Zi Chen.

Thus, Zi Chen smoothly crossed the border of the third continent and arrived at the second continent.

The second continent was the world of the Five Elements Family. It was at this border that they almost fell into the hands of the Five Elements Family. At the critical moment, Saint Rosefinch helped them escape.

Looking at the familiar scene and recalling the past, Zi Chen couldn't help but sigh. He secretly wondered if the Five Elements Family would still target him this time.
