Chapter 63: Setting Out Once Again

  "You two, are you regretful now? Regretting the choice of opposing me from the start?" The Heavenly God's mouth curled up into a mocking smile as he gazed at the two corpses within the crystal coffin.

  "Although death has become a very distant thing for people like us, eternal sleep is actually more painful than death. What do you two think?"

  However, the two corpses in the crystal coffin remained still, quietly listening to the self-talk of the Heavenly God. "Alas!" The Heavenly God let out a sigh, and his tone also became gentler.

  "You two, do you know? Actually, sometimes I envy you both. Although you've lost your freedom, at least you don't have as many worries as I do. And at the very least, every day I come back to visit you. But for me, who is high and above, the only one accompanying me forever is loneliness!"

  The heavenly god shook his head dejectedly, turned around and left. He couldn't stay here any longer, he had more important things to do. But suddenly, his footsteps stopped. "And there are two of you, I forgot to tell you. The little guy you've been thinking about day and night has arrived in this world, but unfortunately, he's come as the fourth messenger of the underworld. I wonder what you think when you hear this news?"

  "You know, those seven self-proclaimed true gods who are millennium-old wandering souls from the underworld are quite cruel!"

  The dazzling light of the five colors rose again, taking away the heavenly god. After the cold and small secret room became dark again, everything became quiet once more. The two people in the crystal coffin still lay motionless, but who would have thought that on the perfect cheek of that beautiful female corpse, a single drop of crystal clear **tear was falling.

  Xiao Chen and Liu Lan easily found Ding Heng in his tent, but what was strange was that not only was Ding Heng there, but also Huang Fu Yanran. Even Huang Fu He and Huang Fu Jie were present. However, the eyes they turned to Xiao Chen were no longer as friendly or proud, but instead filled with endless vigilance.

  Especially the arrogant and disdainful Huangfu Jian and his brother Huangfu Jie, their pale faces had lost their original arrogance, replaced by deep fear. Although Huangfu Yan used the Huangfu family's Resurrection Dan to bring them back, he couldn't dispel the terror in their hearts.

  "I'm sorry, everyone. I know I've caused you all a lot of trouble, and for that, I am deeply sorry." Xiao Chen bowed deeply. Although he didn't know what he had done after losing himself, Xiao Chen knew it couldn't be anything good.

  "I've caused you all so much trouble! I have no face to stay here anymore, I've made up my mind, and I'll leave immediately. Goodbye, everyone!" Xiao Chen bowed deeply to each person present once again, then took Liu Lan's hand and silently turned to leave.

  At this moment, Ding Heng, Huang Fu Yanran, Huang Fu Yan, Huang Fu Jun, and Huang Fu Jie did not make a sound. They silently watched the departure of Xiao Chen and Liu Lan until they could no longer see their figures.

  "I really didn't expect that the humble-looking Xiao Chen brothers would turn out to be so terrifying." The first to speak was Ding Heng, but his voice sounded unusually hoarse. Although he hadn't personally witnessed what had happened in that small cottage, since it was told to him by his most respected Gu Shi, he couldn't help but believe it.

  "Yes! But I really didn't expect this!" Huangfu Yanran also had a deep feeling. Although she found her two brothers extremely annoying, but as for their actual abilities, she was very clear. Xiao Chen, an ordinary young man who looked very kind, actually beat up her two brothers, who were known as the pride of heaven, to such an extent. This was shocking to hear.

  "The world is vast, and strange things happen one after another. You two little rabbits are lucky to have escaped with your lives today. Remember this: from now on, you must not be so reckless and ignorant!"

  Huang Pu Jun, Huang Pu Jie did not speak, but in his heart he kept shouting, "I want to become stronger, I want to become even stronger. Xiao Chen, today you brought me shame, in the future I, Huang Pu Jun (Huang Pu Jie), will definitely return it a hundredfold!"

  Xiao Chen and Liu Lan finally set foot on their journey again. Due to their extremely low spirits, both of them were silent. They just moved forward, forward, and forward. "I must try to find out where the Huayang Sect is located, I don't want those innocent villagers to be implicated because of me." Despite having reached this point, Xiao Chen still hadn't forgotten the villagers of Pingquan Village. Although Huangfu Yan had promised to negotiate with the people of Huayang Sect on his behalf, after something like this happened, that old man probably wouldn't help him again. From now on, everything would have to rely on himself.

  In the distance, a bamboo forest seemed to appear in front of me. As I stepped into the bamboo forest, the top was green and the bottom was green. The green shadows of the bamboos swayed gently. The sunlight filtered through the dense leaves and cast dappled black shadows on the ground, with the occasional chirping of birds. The faint scent of bamboo filled my heart, walking on the soft earth covered with bamboo leaves, listening to the rustling sound, and admiring the sunbeams that filtered through the gaps in the leaves, it was actually quite pleasant.

  Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xiao Chen's depressed mood finally improved a bit. But just then, an unexpected situation occurred again.

  "Excuse me, you two little ones, can you wait for a moment?" Just as the two of them were gradually feeling better, a voice came over and a man appeared in front of them. The man was slender and his face could be considered quite handsome, but what made people feel unexpected was that his skin was actually white, so white that it didn't have any blood color. The man faced the two of them with a smile, but this smile gave people an extremely eerie feeling.

  "Excuse me, sir," Xiao Chen asked, "what's the reason for stopping us?" Although it was their first meeting and the man had been extremely polite, Xiao Chen still felt uncomfortable when he referred to them as "little kids". Did they really look that immature?

  "That little doll has quite a temper, but I like it!" The fair and handsome young man shrugged nonchalantly, then suddenly turned serious. "By the way, you asked me what I wanted by stopping you? Well, I'll tell you. Do you still remember Mount Jiuhua? Do you still remember that fierce tiger you killed? Let me tell you, I'm its master, and I've come specifically to find you because of it. Do you know how much heart and soul I put into raising it?"

  "What? The old tiger that I killed in Jihua Mountain a few days ago was raised by you? Did I hear it wrong?" Xiao Chen found it hilarious. This guy in front of him was really ridiculous. Raising an old tiger? That's a ferocious animal that can hurt people. You think it's a cat or dog? It seems that this is just an excuse for this guy to extort himself.

  "Sorry, brother, your joke isn't funny at all. Please move aside, don't block my way!" Xiao Chen's face sank as he said coldly.

  "Xiao Chen, let's hit the road!" Liu Lan also smiled, she too found the person in front of her to be quite interesting.

  "Do you think I'm being unreasonable? Wanting to extort you?" The smile on the face of the white and handsome man disappeared, "Do you think I, Wei Bin, am that kind of person? I'll let you know right now who's being unreasonable!" After finishing speaking, the man suddenly let out a long, mournful howl. The howling was so piercing it made one's skin crawl. As the howling continued, hoofbeats suddenly sounded from afar, and smoke billowed up. Amidst the smoke, something seemed to be approaching.

  Nearer, nearer! Those seem to be three huge and ferocious wild beasts.

  "Let me introduce you, these are just like that tiger you killed, they're all my precious pets!" Wei Bin smiled coldly, "Remember, in this world, only I can train such gentle and massive pets."

  "Originally, I had four of these treasures, namely wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard. But because of you, one of my treasures has been reduced to nothing. You little brat, do you know your crime?" Wei Bin shouted sternly.

  Looking at the three wolves in front of him staring at his own faint blue light, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. These three ferocious beasts were roughly the same size as the fierce tiger he had killed earlier. And this man named Wei Bin, from the fact that he could make these three ferocious beasts listen to him so obediently, it was likely that the old tiger was also raised by him and shouldn't be wrong.

  "Even if that ferocious tiger was raised by you, what of it? You're raising such a vicious beast and letting it harm people at will. Do you know what you're doing? I killed it to rid the people of a menace, what crime is there in that?"

  "Bastard!" Wei Bin kicked out in a rage, and Xiao Chen was caught off guard and sent flying.

  "You son of a bitch, take my punch!" Xiao Chen's mood was already extremely low and he got angry. That kind of extremely familiar scorching feeling spread throughout his body again. Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and threw a punch at the opponent's abdomen.

  "Little kid, you dare to attack me? Alright, let's see what you're made of!" A wide, purple-blue aura burst forth from Wei Bin's brow. As the light rose, a piece of cyan-colored jadeite protruded out, Jadeite Warrior, this guy was indeed a genuine Jadeite Warrior.

  "But, you savage kid, do you think that with a bit of brute force you can be arrogant in front of me, Wei Bin?" Wei Bin suddenly let out a cold smile. Xiao Chen suddenly felt terrified as he discovered that his body was no longer under his control. Wei Bin didn't say another word, and with one heavy punch, Xiao Chen let out a muffled groan as his body was sent flying out.

  "You bastard!" Xiao Chen struggled to get up from the ground, wiping away the blood from his mouth, and charged at Wei Bin again. But something strange happened again, Xiao Chen's body lost control once more. Wei Bin's fist struck Xiao Chen's cheek once more, and Xiao Chen flew backward again.

  Xiao Chen relied on his incredible willpower to get up again, but was knocked flying once more. Nearby, Liu Lan had also tried to help Xiao Chen, but she too suddenly lost control of her body just like him. What's going on here?

  He got up, was knocked down, crawled up again, and was knocked down again. At this time, Xiao Chen was like a poor mouse being teased by a cat. After exhausting his last bit of strength, Xiao Chen finally couldn't get up again. He could only lie on the ground, panting heavily with a reluctant heart.

  "Kid, killing you is just a matter of lifting my hand!" Wei Bin crouched down, patted Xiao Chen's cheek first, then pinched his neck and lifted him high up, with contempt in his eyes.

  "You damn idiot." Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with anger and confusion, why was this happening? Why did he suddenly lose control of his body?

  "You fool, do you know? Awakening the Illusory Sea not only brings great power to others, but also may bring some special abilities to the awakener. Unfortunately, the special ability I got from awakening the Illusory Sea is mental binding. Under my powerful mental binding, no matter how arrogant you are, you're just a poor lamb tied up and waiting to be slaughtered!"
