Feng Chen looked at the scene in stunned silence. Even with his weak cultivation, he could tell that the black furnace was extraordinary, though it seemed to be missing a lid, making it an unfinished product.
"Cough, cough!"
Wu Liang coughed a few times after putting away the furnace, his face a little pale.
"Damn it, you had to force this poor Daoist to kill. I don't know how much merit I've lost this time. Damn you, this furnace is so damn hard to use," Wu Liang muttered.
After cursing, Wu Liang looked at Feng Chen, who trembled and took a few steps back.
"Benefactor, as the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. I just saved your life. Surely I deserve a share of the treasure map you have," Wu Liang said.
Feng Chen replied, "Didn't you just say we were friends? It's only reasonable for a friend to help when another is in trouble. How can you be so mercenary?"
"Since we're friends, shouldn't you share your good things with this poor Daoist even more?" Wu Liang looked at Feng Chen with a smile. *Heh, this old Daoist has lived for so many years, how could I let you take advantage?*
Feng Chen didn't know what to say for a moment. He only knew that Wu Liang was definitely not a proper Daoist. He didn't even blink when killing people. How was he like a monk?
"He's here!"
At that moment, more people arrived.
When Wu Liang heard this voice, his face changed. He grabbed Feng Chen's hand and said, "Run!"
But before they could move, they were surrounded by a group of people. The leader first glanced at Feng Chen, then turned his gaze to Wu Liang.
"Stinky Daoist, I didn't expect to see you today. Very good. Today, I can not only obtain the treasure map of the True Dragon Treasure, but also suppress you. It's truly killing two birds with one stone, hahaha."
The leader's aura was extremely powerful. His mere presence sealed off the surrounding space, leaving them with no way to retreat.
Seeing this, Feng Chen couldn't help but whisper to Wu Liang, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Nonsense, this poor Daoist has always been kind to others. How could I have a feud with anyone? It's just that he's jealous of my handsome appearance and wants to harm me," Wu Liang said calmly.
As soon as Feng Chen heard this, he knew that this unscrupulous Daoist was talking nonsense again. *With your three-hundred-plus-pound body calling yourself handsome, then I must be a suave and debonair man!*
"Don't you believe me? It's just that his wife took a fancy to me. On a dark and windy night, she and I spent time together under the moon. If I weren't handsome, would his wife have taken a liking to me? His wife was a well-known beauty, but he killed her with his own hands." As he spoke, Wu Liang licked his lips, looking as if he hadn't had enough.
"What?" Feng Chen was shocked. *This fatso can actually seduce married women?*
"Nonsense! You must have used some means to seduce my wife!" Yu Yang shouted. As his anger rose, his aura also soared.
Feng Chen's face changed. *This is a powerhouse in the Carefree Realm! Is today really the day I die here?*
"Um, I'll hand over the treasure map on my body. Can you let me go? By the way, I don't know this unscrupulous Daoist," Feng Chen said quickly in order to save his life, trying to clear his relationship with Wu Liang.
"Damn it, I just saved your life for nothing," Wu Liang looked at Feng Chen in disbelief.
Feng Chen retorted, "You saved me because of the treasure map on my body. Your motives weren't pure, so it doesn't count."
"Damn you!" Wu Liang found that Feng Chen was even more unscrupulous than him.
"Enough!" Yu Yang shouted coldly. Then he looked at Feng Chen and said, "If you don't know him, how do you know his name?"
"??" *I said 'unscrupulous,' not 'Wu Liang'! Can't you even hear that?*
Yu Yang ignored Feng Chen's reaction and continued, "Besides, you know things you shouldn't know. Today, you must die!"
*What things I shouldn't know? The fact that your wife cheated on you?*
Feng Chen pointed at the people around them, who were all Yu Yang's subordinates, and said, "But they know too!"
When the others saw that Feng Chen was directing the spear at them, they quickly said to Yu Yang, "Lord, we don't know anything..."
But the next moment, these people exploded and died.
"Now, only you know," Yu Yang sneered.
Feng Chen never expected this person to be so ruthless, killing his own subordinates without hesitation.
"What's so strange about that? He even killed his own wife." Wu Liang looked as if he was used to it.
"You're still so relaxed? Where's your black furnace? Take it out and take him in!" Feng Chen asked anxiously when he saw Wu Liang's relaxed expression.
"I can only use that furnace once a day. Any more and I won't be able to handle it," Wu Liang said calmly.
"Then what do we do now?" Feng Chen asked. He had no choice but to ask Wu Liang.
"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait for your boss to take action," Wu Liang shrugged.
Feng Chen looked at Wu Liang suspiciously. He didn't doubt that this Daoist had a way to escape, but he just didn't want to use it.
"Heh." Hearing Wu Liang's words, Yu Yang sneered and said, "You're counting on the owner of the Longevity Tavern? Haha, recently he's been rumored to be so amazing, saying that no matter how strong you are, you're not allowed to cause trouble in the Longevity Tavern. It's just that we don't bother to argue with him. I'll go to the Longevity Tavern when I have time. I want to see what happens if I make a move inside."
"Since you want to try, why not do it now?"
At that moment, Gu Changsheng, dressed in green, walked out of the darkness.
"You're the owner of the Longevity Tavern?"
Yu Yang had never met Gu Changsheng, but he knew from his tone.
Gu Changsheng ignored Yu Yang and looked at Wu Liang. "Where are the others?"
Wu Liang knew what he was asking and replied, "This poor Daoist's movement techniques are slightly exquisite, so the others were left behind."
Gu Changsheng nodded. Wu Liang meant that he ran fast, whether he was chasing people or running away.
When Yu Yang saw that Gu Changsheng dared to ignore him, he was furious. He said fiercely, "Very good, as the rumors say, you're arrogant. You dare to ignore me. Let me see how much you're worth."
After saying that, Yu Yang stretched out a hand, and a huge palm carrying the aura of destruction pressed down on Gu Changsheng.
"Noisy!"
Gu Changsheng glanced at Yu Yang. Yu Yang's aura suddenly stagnated, and his eyes were filled with death. Then, his entire body slowly turned into nothingness and he died on the spot.
Although Wu Liang had a high opinion of Gu Changsheng, when he saw Gu Changsheng kill Yu Yang, who had chased him for millions of miles, with just a glance, his heart skipped a beat.
Feng Chen's performance was even worse. He rubbed his eyes hard, then stretched out a hand and pinched himself hard.
"Ah... why the hell are you pinching this poor Daoist?" Wu Liang cried out in pain. Feng Chen had actually given him a hard pinch in the kidney.
"Did you feel pain?" Feng Chen asked.
"Nonsense, do you want me to give you one?" Wu Liang glared at Feng Chen, wishing he could take in this evil creature.
"Then it's not a dream. My God, so the boss is so strong. He killed a Carefree Realm expert with just a glance." Feng Chen opened his mouth wide, still in shock.
"You've really never seen the world," Gu Changsheng said calmly.
"Hehe, the boss is right. I've never seen the world." Feng Chen smiled obsequiously, feeling extremely fortunate that he wasn't an arrogant and conceited person. If it were any other Nirvana Realm cultivator, how could they be willing to be an employee doing odd jobs in a tavern?
Now that he had become an employee of the Longevity Tavern, he had to hold on to the boss's thigh. As long as the boss was around, he could sit back and relax.
"Your personalities are quite similar," Gu Changsheng said to Feng Chen with a inexplicable remark.
Feng Chen didn't understand, but he didn't ask. Smart people knew not to ask too much.
"Boss, what should we do next? I'll fully cooperate," Feng Chen said, patting his chest. He had been cowardly before, but after that scene just now, he wouldn't be a man if he was still cowardly.
"Next, we'll find the person who plotted against me."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng waved his hand and left with Feng Chen and the Daoist Wu Liang.
After they left, those who had chased out from the tavern arrived late.
When they saw the empty pit, they were all very annoyed.
"Damn it, he got away."
"That guy is only in the third level of the Nirvana Realm. He definitely can't run far. Split up and chase. Let's see who's lucky."
"Okay!"
These people dispersed and chased in all directions.
