Chapter 82

"Not bad!"

The old man's eyes were full of admiration. "Although the consumption is great, this speed is absolutely unparalleled. It seems that you will need to prepare more Qi Returning Pills in the future."

The old man's eyes were like torches. He could see that Zi Chen had used up all his Zhen Qi.

Hearing the old man's evaluation, Zi Chen's eyes lit up and asked, "Elder, how is my speed compared to a Xiantian master?"

The old man smiled and said with certainty, "Comparable to a peak Xiantian master's speed."

"What, peak Xiantian master?" Zi Chen was shocked, and then his face was filled with ecstasy.

The Nine Lightning Fleeting was just a beginner, and it was only the Lightning Fleeting, but it already had such speed. If he comprehended the essence of the True Meaning, wouldn't his speed be comparable to a True Energy Boundary martial artist?

As if guessing Zi Chen's thoughts, the old man said, "This Nine Lightning Fleeting is extraordinary. If you comprehend the True Meaning of Fleeting, your speed will definitely be comparable to a True Energy Boundary martial artist."

"Yeah!" Zi Chen clenched his fists. This would be a great advantage for him.

Zi Chen said from the bottom of his heart respectfully, "Thank you Elder for your help."

"Haha, this thing in my hands is just a waste. It has been eaten by worms, but in your hands it shines. This is all thanks to you. It has nothing to do with an old man like me." The old man laughed. His face was red, like a blooming chrysanthemum, extremely brilliant.

"Your talent is excellent. If not for Yao 'er's insistence, you would have been my disciple. But it doesn't matter. Even if you are not my disciple, I will treat you as my grandson."

The old man looked at Zi Chen like a senior looking at a junior. His eyes were full of love, and he said, "This breakthrough can be said to be a great blessing. Come, Grandpa will give you a gift."

As he spoke, the old man took out an ancient object from his bosom. However, this object was not eaten by worms. Its whole body was black, and there were many lines engraved on it. It looked like a scale armor, but also like a tortoise shell. It was oval in shape and polished very smooth, making it impossible to identify what it was.

The black armor was incomparably black, shining brightly. Complex lines covered the whole body. Naturally, it was not an ordinary object.

"Elder, this is too valuable. I can't accept it." Naturally, this item was not ordinary. Zi Chen refused again and again.

"This is a defensive origin formation, it can save your life at a critical moment. It's not some high-grade item, just consider it a gift from grandpa to you. As for you, in the future, you can be like Yao-er and call me grandpa." The old man smiled.

"This …!" Zi Chen was still hesitating because this thing was too precious.

"Take it. It's best if you keep it close to your body or hang it around your neck. Remember, you're not allowed to call me Elder anymore." The old man forced the black armor into Zi Chen's hands.

"Thank you … Grandpa!" Zi Chen put away the black armor, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

The old man's eyes were filled with affection. He seemed to be very satisfied with this grandson of his.

After witnessing his speed, the two of them turned back.

"Zi Chen, the growth of a genius will never be smooth sailing. It requires constant tempering and growth.

If you grow up smoothly, you will never become a true genius. "The Great Elder said on the way back.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" After calling him that a few times, Zi Chen was used to calling him that.

"What I mean is that you can go out and gain experience. The Tianwu Continent is very vast and very exciting. The Nimbus Martial Ancestor is too small to give you more opportunities."

"Go out and gain experience, now?" Zi Chen asked.

"No, in the next few days, I'll arrange for you to go to the Xuan Martial Ancestor and give the things that the Great Elder lost to them. Afterwards, you can go out and gain experience for a period of time. When you're ready to break through to the Xiantian realm, you can come back.

The sect doesn't have many other resources, but we can still give you Xiantian pills. "The Great Elder said.

"That's good." Zi Chen nodded.

After returning, Zi Chen had just returned to his room when the Great Elder went to arrange everything.

Early the next morning, the Great Elder came to Zi Chen's door and indicated that Zi Chen could leave.

"So soon?" Zi Chen was surprised. He couldn't believe that he had to leave today.

"Yes, it has been delayed for a long time. Otherwise, people would say that the people of the Xuan Martial Ancestor are not trustworthy." The Great Elder laughed.

"But grandpa, this is too soon. I haven't even said goodbye to Xue 'er and the others." Zi Chen said.

"It's not like you won't see them in the future. You should quickly settle this matter. At such a young age, the most important thing is to increase your strength. I really don't know what you're thinking all day." The old man nodded lovingly at Zi Chen's head.

Zi Chen's face instantly turned red. He could only obediently leave.

"There are two elders waiting for you outside. This time, the three of you will go. This bag is for you. It contains the elixirs you need. Be careful when you go out and experience the world. Be merciful when you need to be. Be decisive when you need to be …"

After nagging for a long time, the Great Elder finally finished. He patted Zi Chen's head and said, "Go, be careful."

Zi Chen respectfully bowed to the old man. "Grandpa, I'm leaving."

Zi Chen didn't walk quickly. He hoped to see the people he wanted to see before he left. Lin Xue, Miao Kong, and Su Mengyao. Zi Chen didn't know why he also wanted to see Su Mengyao.

But when he walked out of the mountain gate, he didn't see the people he was waiting for.

"Sigh, let's talk about it later. It's not like we won't see each other again. Zi Chen, Zi Chen, you're still young. Increasing your strength is the most important thing. How can you talk about love first?" Zi Chen whispered. As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate, he saw the two elders waiting for him.

Zi Chen's pupils shrank instantly. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing the two of them, Zi Chen thought that he had made a mistake and that his eyes were playing tricks on him. However, after rubbing his eyes, the two of them were still the same person. There were no other elders around. Moreover, when the two of them saw Zi Chen, they walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Zi Chen, long time no see. This time, we're escorting you to Martial Ancestor Xuan. You have to cooperate with us along the way."

One of the elders in red smiled. His eyes were sharp. Even when he smiled, it gave people a cold feeling.

Looking at the two elders, Zi Chen said in disbelief, "What's going on? Weren't you guys in the Punishment Hall? Why are you here? Has the Sect Leader returned?"

"No, it's just that the Great Elder forgave us because of our great contributions to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. We only made a small mistake this time, so he asked us to escort you to the Martial Ancestor Xuan to atone for our mistakes."

The other elder was a middle-aged man. He had a faint smile on his face and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. The Great Elder also said that during the time you're out training, we'll follow you and protect your safety."

Zi Chen's heart was filled with bitterness. He didn't understand why Luo Ben and the second elder had to escort him. One had to know that these two people had a grudge against him. This escort was more like two wolves escorting a sheep.

"Grandpa wants to harm me? That's impossible." Zi Chen immediately dispelled this idea.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the distance. Zi Chen turned his head and saw two people he didn't want to see.

"Luo Men, Wu Sheng."

These two were both demoted, but they felt sorry for each other. They walked side by side, almost holding hands.

"Second Uncle, you're out. When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it." Seeing Robben, Luo Men was very excited. His backer had returned.

"Grandpa."

Wu Sheng's eyes were also red. Recently, he had almost collapsed. He had to face all kinds of gossip every day.

"Grandpa, (Second Uncle), what are you guys doing?"

The scene of family meeting was very touching. Zi Chen didn't say a word, nor did he rush them. After a while, the two asked at the same time.

The two elders had a strange smile on their faces at the same time. They looked at Zi Chen and said, "Escort Zi Chen to the Martial Ancestor Xuan, then protect him while he's training outside. After all, the outside world is very dangerous. A mere True Qi Realm is not enough to protect himself."

After hearing this, Luo Men and Wu Sheng smiled. They looked at Zi Chen with cold eyes and said, "Zi Chen, I'll wait for you to come back. You must stay alive, okay?"

"Haha, Zi Chen, when you're outside, staying alive is more important." Luo Men also laughed.

"Alright, it's time for us to leave," said Zi Chen with a gloomy face.

"Yes, it's time to go.

You guys go back, we'll be back soon. "The two elders emphasized the words' soon '.

Wu Sheng and Luo Men were laughing. They knew that their backer would be back soon. As for Zi Chen, it was hard to say. Maybe he would never come back.

The three of them went down the mountain. Within the range of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, the two elders were very polite to Zi Chen. They talked and laughed as if they were very familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

"Zi Chen, you have to be careful. The road ahead is not easy."

"Yes, there are berserk beasts ahead."

Although the two pretended to talk nonsense, at least they had smiles on their faces. However, when they left the range of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared and they became very arrogant.

"Here, take the things we're escorting this time."

Luo Ben threw a bag to Zi Chen. Inside it was the bet from last time. A True Yuan Battle Skill book, a True Yuan Dan. In addition, because they had delayed for time, they also gave the Xuan Martial Ancestor a True Yuan Battle Skill book.

These were all good things. The two naturally coveted them, but they definitely did not dare to take them for themselves.

"Trash, can't you walk a little faster?"

"Idiot, you walk so slowly. From now on, you'll lead the way."

The further they walked, the more vicious their attitudes became. However, they did not attack.

"I can't find it. I don't know the way."

Zi Chen was silent until the two asked him to lead the way.

"Trash, trash like you, what qualifications do you have to be escorted by us?"

The two cursed, but they still obediently led the way. Other than their vicious words, they did not do anything else.

Along the way, the two's meals were all given to Zi Chen.

"As long as you're not afraid that I'll poison you." Zi Chen coldly replied. This was the second sentence he said after leaving the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Then, he started a fire and began to roast the meat.

The Nimbus Martial Ancestor was very far from the Xuan Martial Ancestor. It was more than a thousand miles away. If the three of them used their Qi, it would naturally be very fast. However, it seemed that the two elders deliberately chose to walk slowly. They were not in a hurry at all.

Therefore, after walking for a few days, they were only halfway there.

"You trash …!" The second elder was still cursing. In this period of time, the word "trash" was constantly on his lips.

"Ang!"

However, at this moment, a shrill cry pierced through the sky and interrupted the second elder's cursing.
