Cultivation knows no years; in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
"Boss, take me with you, please?" Inside the Longevity Tavern, Feng Chen begged Gu Changsheng with wide eyes.
Standing beside Gu Changsheng were Ye Hongyi, the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng, and Ye Hongyi's protector, Bai Zhiyin. Gu Changsheng ignored Feng Chen's gaze and said, "I'll leave the Longevity Tavern to you, along with the Dragon God Mystic Realm."
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng took out a dragon-shaped jade talisman. This talisman was specially refined by Gu Changsheng. With it, Feng Chen could control the entire Dragon God Mystic Realm.
After all, the Dragon God Mystic Realm was a mystic realm left behind by a peak True Immortal. The concentration of天地元气 inside was dozens of times higher than the outside world. Ye Hongyi and the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng had been cultivating in the Dragon God Mystic Realm for the past ten years. Ye Hongyi's cultivation had now reached the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, while the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng had also broken through to the third level of the Transcendent Realm. Only Feng Chen's cultivation remained at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.
After all, his cultivation had jumped directly to the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, the dragon blood he absorbed was the blood of the Ancestral Dragon, which required a lot of time to settle before he could continue to break through. Otherwise, being too hasty might lead to his death under the heavenly tribulation.
Although Feng Chen wanted to break through as soon as possible to find Shen Yue, he also knew that the most urgent task was to thoroughly digest his own foundation. When his strength was sufficient, it would be much easier to find Shen Yue.
Feng Chen took the jade talisman of the Dragon God Mystic Realm and said, "Boss, what am I going to do when you leave?"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng knew what this kid was worried about.
"Isn't that fat Taoist also on Fire Cloud Ancient Star? You can look for him if anything happens. If he can't do it, then look for Old Ancestor Fire Crow. If that doesn't work, then hide in the Dragon God Mystic Realm!"
Gu Changsheng said. Old Ancestor Fire Crow was now the only Saint Realm expert on Fire Cloud Ancient Star, so Gu Changsheng made him the guardian of Fire Cloud Ancient Star.
"Either ask others for help or hide. Isn't that too embarrassing?" Feng Chen muttered.
"Heh, you think it's not embarrassing to be sheltered by me all the time?" Gu Changsheng mocked.
Feng Chen chuckled and said, "Boss, take care!"
Gu Changsheng nodded.
Feng Chen walked up to the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother Heavenly Peng, thank you for your care over the years. After this parting, I don't know when we will meet again. I wish you a prosperous immortal path. Take care!"
Listening to Feng Chen's heartfelt blessings, the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng also returned the greeting.
"Brother Feng, I also wish you a prosperous immortal path and an early reunion with your sister-in-law. Take care!" Over the years, Feng Chen was very grateful to the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng for his earnest guidance, and the Ancient Prince of the Heavenly Peng also witnessed Feng Chen's growth. The two had formed a deep friendship. They could be called both teachers and friends. Now that they were parting, they were naturally reluctant.
Feng Chen nodded, then smiled at Ye Hongyi and said, "Fairy Hongyi, I also wish you to find your Mr. Right soon."
"Thank you!" Ye Hongyi nodded lightly.
"Alright, as long as you kid don't slack off, there will be plenty of time to get together in the future. We're leaving!"
After Gu Changsheng finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, he took a few people and left the Longevity Tavern.
Feng Chen stood there blankly, staring in a daze, until a figure appeared in front of him.
"The boss and the others left?"
The person who came was none other than Taoist Wu Liang.
He hadn't changed over the years, taking Contending Splendor Place as his home, and occasionally coming to the Longevity Tavern to help take care of the dismal business.
Seeing Wu Liang coming, Feng Chen also came back to his senses. He nodded and said, "They left."
"Then what are you going to do? There are quite a few people outside staring at you," Wu Liang asked.
Hearing this, Feng Chen's face revealed a sneer. He said in a cold voice, "A group of greedy and timid guys. They wanted to attack me in the beginning, but after discovering that the boss was not easy to provoke, they turned their attention to Shen Yue. Shen Yue almost died in their hands. Now that the boss is gone, they want to target me again. Do they really think I'm easy to bully?"
"This time, I'll meet soldiers with generals and water with earth. I want to see to what extent I have to kill them before I can put down the greed in my heart."
When Wu Liang heard this, he put on an expression of compassion and said, "Amitabha, immeasurable Heavenly Lord. As the saying goes, killing people and setting fires brings golden belts. If I don't go to hell, who will? Count me in on this. I want half of their wealth?"
Over the years, Feng Chen had seen through this Taoist. He was just a scoundrel. Taoists are supposed to be members of the clergy. Others are compassionate, but this Wu Liang is good. Not only is he not compassionate, but he doesn't miss out on anything like killing people, setting fires, and sleeping with women.
"What are you going to do with so much money?" Feng Chen asked.
"Clergymen are compassionate. I naturally want so much money for the beauties of Contending Splendor Place. They are in deep waters every day. I have the obligation and responsibility to rescue them," Wu Liang said solemnly.
"…" Feng Chen.
Saying it so sadly and compassionately, isn't it just for prostituting?
"What's your plan?" Wu Liang asked.
"This matter depends on whether your old flames in Contending Splendor Place are gossipy enough," Feng Chen looked at him with a smile.
"Hiss… you kid, your ideas are really vicious, but I like it. Don't worry, I won't take this half for nothing!"
After speaking, Wu Liang's figure flashed and he left.
Two days later, the entire Flame City knew that the owner of the Longevity Tavern had left Fire Cloud Ancient Star.
As soon as this news spread, it immediately caused a great uproar. Those who died back then because they coveted the treasure map on Feng Chen, their relatives or forces were thinking of avenging them, but due to the deterrence of the Longevity Tavern owner, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
But now, the Longevity Tavern owner had left Fire Cloud Ancient Star, which made the fire in the hearts of those who were interested reignite.
Avenging their hatred and obtaining the true dragon treasure map on Feng Chen at the same time was a double win. Those who were interested had already begun to plan.
They didn't dare to rashly attack Feng Chen, but had to repeatedly confirm whether the Longevity Tavern owner had really left Fire Cloud Ancient Star. Only after confirming it did they dare to act.
For a time, the situation in Flame City was turbulent.
After a few more days, these forces finally confirmed that the Longevity Tavern owner had indeed left Fire Cloud Ancient Star, and the actions against Feng Chen were also proceeding in secret.
Inside the Dragon God Mystic Realm, Feng Chen's face was hesitant at this time.
"I said, you're a Taoist, it's fine if you don't talk about compassion, but how can you be so ruthless in your actions?"
In front of Feng Chen, there were two array disks. These two array disks contained a great array. One was called the Ten Directions Extinction Array. As the name suggests, this was a killing array, and a terrifyingly powerful killing array. Once this array was activated, it could instantly kill all living beings below the Saint Realm within the array. It was a thorough killing array that left no chance of survival.
The other array disk was a phantom array, called the Chaos God Array, which could disturb the minds and souls of the spirits within the array, and then make the living beings within the array kill each other.
Taoist Wu Liang curled his lips in disdain and said, "As the saying goes, it's better for a fellow Taoist to die than for me to die, let alone that they aren't even fellow Taoists. Since they are already mortal enemies, then we should do it once and for all and kill them all to eliminate future troubles."
"Hiss…" Feng Chen gasped. This unscrupulous Taoist was too ruthless, and he could even say things like "it's better for a fellow Taoist to die than for me to die". He had to guard against him in the future, maybe one day he would be sold and still have to count the money for him.
"Choose one!" Wu Liang said.
"Then… this one!"
Feng Chen pointed to the Ten Directions Extinction Array. Although this killing array was also very ruthless, it was still more benevolent compared to the Chaos God Array. The Ten Directions Extinction Array at least gave the other party a quick death, but the Chaos God Array's mutual killing was very torturous.
"Since you've chosen, then let's act! Remember, after you offer the Ten Directions Extinction Array, immediately teleport back to the Dragon God Mystic Realm, otherwise… you know!"
Wu Liang reminded.
Feng Chen naturally understood. If he was one step late, he would be swallowed by the Ten Directions Extinction Array and end up with no bones left.
"Then… let's act!"
A cold killing intent flashed in Feng Chen's eyes, and then he left the Dragon God Mystic Realm.
