Lu Chen left Ye Family Mansion and wandered alone in Banshu Castle for an entire afternoon, enjoying a moment of peace before settling down in a restaurant.
As night fell, the bustling and noisy Banshu Castle gradually quieted down. Occasionally, a dog barked or a human shouted, but overall, it was quite serene.
The night sky resembled a silver plate, dotted with stars. Lu Chen was meditating in his room at the restaurant, practicing the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he sensed a Divine Sense exploring within Banshu Castle, seemingly searching for something.
Lu Chen was startled; this person was bold enough to conduct such an obvious search, indicating they were likely not an ordinary individual.
After sitting on the bed for a while, that aggressive Divine Sense did not retreat. Unable to contain himself any longer, Lu Chen stood up from the bed, opened the window, and flew outside.
He soared beneath the clouds, scanning the surroundings while trying to locate the source of the Divine Sense. Narrowing his sharp eyes slightly, Lu Chen then flew northward.
After about ten breaths of time, he was several dozen miles away from Banshu Castle.
At this moment, Lu Chen finally saw the face of the person: an old man with a bushy white beard, thin and wiry, exuding an aura of strength as he hovered in the sky.
Lu Chen blinked; he did not recognize this person, but it was clear that the other party intended to draw him out, suggesting they were here for a reason.
"Do you have something to discuss?" Lu Chen asked. The aura emanating from the old man was powerful and mysterious, making him feel somewhat uneasy.
"You are Lu Chen? My disciple Fang Kuan is someone you killed, right?" The old man glared at Lu Chen with his walnut-like eyes, his tone unfriendly.
"Your disciple?" Lu Chen recalled that he had killed many people, but he truly did not know anyone named Fang Kuan.
After a moment, Lu Chen finally remembered that it was in the deep mountains outside Haining County City where he had fought against a disciple of the Yin Yang Gate. He had even taken the opponent's inner core and refined it into a coreless Blood Flower Array.
This confirmed that the person before him was at least an elder-level figure from the Yin Yang Gate. As Fang Kuan's master, it was likely that his cultivation was not low, at least a Void Immortal.
Lu Chen was taken aback; although the other party had not fully revealed his abilities, he sensed that this old man’s cultivation was definitely beyond that of a Void Immortal, possibly even higher.
"Hmph, stop pretending with me. I am here to judge you today; for taking my disciple's life, you must give me an explanation," the old man said calmly, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of authority and showing no fear of Lu Chen escaping.
"I am not pretending, nor do I deny that I did not kill Fang Kuan. You must be Yuan Ruyi," Lu Chen replied.
"Yuan Ruyi is not someone you can call by name so casually," Yuan Ruyi said, glaring fiercely at Lu Chen.
"Hmph," hearing this, Lu Chen sneered and said, "Do as you wish, Yuan Ruyi. The fact remains that your disciple is dead. However, let me clarify something regarding positions: your disciple Fang Kuan interfered with Imperial Authority and colluded with the Duke of Qi and Chen Shilong; he deserved to die. And you, speaking of judgment in front of me—your Yin Yang Gate prides itself on controlling the fates of others, but I see it as nothing more than delusional."
Lu Chen's tone suddenly became arrogant; the people from the Yin Yang Gate were truly too arrogant.
Even an elder like Yuan Ruyi was so dismissive; one could only imagine how outrageous the leader of the Yin Yang Gate must be.
"Good for you, brat. I initially planned to let you hand over Fang Kuan's inner core out of respect for your master. The Yin Yang Gate has its own ways to revive him, and then this matter could be negotiated. But because of what you just said, I will deal with you directly—cutting first and reporting later—and then I will find trouble with your master King Jun," Yuan Ruyi said angrily.
Lu Chen's eyes flickered; Yuan Ruyi had mistaken him for King Jun's disciple. He wondered where the old man had gotten this information. It seemed that the reason for his hesitation to act was due to concerns about King Jun.
Lu Chen smiled mysteriously and quickly took advantage of the situation, saying, "Hahaha, if you want to find trouble with my master, you should ask me first."
With that, Lu Chen turned and ran. His true form manifested as lightning, and with a whoosh, he shot directly into the thick clouds above, stirring up the cotton-like clouds into a chaotic flow.
Yuan Ruyi was a formidable opponent; it would certainly be difficult to settle this today. However, Lu Chen had no choice; fleeing was his only option since he could not possibly match Yuan Ruyi in strength.
Yuan Ruyi saw Lu Chen fleeing and coldly snorted, waving his sleeve as he said, "You overestimate yourself; I won't let you escape."
With that, Yuan Ruyi's true form flashed, and he immediately pursued in the direction of the west.
The two flew for thousands of miles, crossing even Killing Green Mountain, and entered the territory of the Western Seven States.
As Lu Chen ran, he glanced back and felt the wind rushing past his ears, moving at an incredible speed. Yuan Ruyi was right behind him, relentlessly pursuing without any sign of letting up.
Lu Chen suddenly landed in a deep mountain, intending to find a place to hide for a while and wait for an opportunity to return. Going west seemed pointless; even if he crossed the entire continent, he feared that Yuan Ruyi would not easily let him go.
The night was endless, and the deep mountains were eerily quiet, filled with cypress trees and wild grass; apart from that, there wasn't even a ghostly shadow in sight.
After wandering through the deep mountains for a while, Lu Chen suddenly noticed someone approaching rapidly. At first, he thought it was Yuan Ruyi and tried to take a detour to avoid him.
However, Lu Chen soon realized that this person's speed was also incredibly fast. Before he could change his path, the person had already blocked his way, leaving him utterly astonished.
At that moment, a youth with disheveled hair stood among the trees. From a distance, he exuded an aura of strength that made others hesitant to approach.
This youth appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a gourd hanging at his waist, resembling someone who enjoyed drinking.
He radiated a chilling demeanor as he lazily stood there. Lu Chen wanted to leave but felt momentarily unable to move.
The person before him was also a strong individual; his resolute face and cold expression suggested that he would not easily show any emotion at any time.
This was already within the territory of the Western Seven States, where the most powerful sect was the Eastern Shaolin Temple. However, this person clearly did not belong to Shaolin Temple; from Lu Chen's first impression, he seemed more like an outsider.
People who drink are not necessarily drunk; some even consider drinking as a form of cultivation. As long as they drink, they can refine themselves and enhance their abilities, which is an incredible method of cultivation.
The deep mountains are quiet, and at this moment, it becomes even more eerie. Lu Chen and the other person remain still.
Before long, a bright light streaks across the sky, and Yuan Ruyi appears out of nowhere between the two.
In just a moment, the scene transforms into three people, all super experts, and the atmosphere becomes even stranger.
The first to move is Yuan Ruyi. He glances at Lu Chen before turning to look at the person with a gourd hanging from his waist.
Upon seeing that person, Yuan Ruyi is somewhat surprised and says, "I thought it was someone else; it turns out to be Xing Ru Xie from Star Gate. What brings you here?"
Yuan Ruyi's voice echoes in the vast mountains, carrying far away. The person's name is Xing Ru Xie, a member of Star Gate.
Star Gate is not located within the Western Seven States but rather in the northwest direction, bordering countries like Gaochang and Luzhan.
Given that Star Gate is not too far from here, for a flying Yin Spirit, it would only take a moment to arrive.
"Yuan Ruyi, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at your Jade Palace cultivating?" Xing Ru Xie coldly asks as he steps forward.
"Jade Palace? That should be the headquarters of Yin Yang Gate, but I've never heard of it or know where it is," Lu Chen mutters quietly as he listens to the conversation between Yuan Ruyi and Xing Ru Xie. It seems they are old acquaintances.
However, Lu Chen has heard of the name Xing Ru Xie; he appears to be a well-known new disciple within Star Gate, comparable in reputation to Yin Boqing from sixty years ago, belonging to a talented level.
There is also a rumor regarding the death of the Yellow Brow Ancestor from Star Gate; they assigned this talented disciple named Xing Ru Xie to investigate the truth.
“Xing Ru Xie, what does this have to do with you? I have some personal matters to settle with that guy named Lu Chen. Are you planning to interfere?” Yuan Ruyi stated directly.
“Oh? What a coincidence, I also have some personal matters to settle with him,” Xing Ru Xie replied, indicating he was also here to find Lu Chen.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately took three steps back; these two were actually here to cause him trouble.
Xing Ru Xie likely came for the matter concerning Killing, as Lu Chen had ambushed Killing in the Gobi Desert, leaving it utterly destroyed.
Perhaps Xing Ru Xie intended to use this incident with Killing as a breakthrough to uncover the reason behind the Yellow Brow Ancestor's death.
Lu Chen blinked, realizing he was in deep trouble. He could barely handle one Yuan Ruyi, let alone another Xing Ru Xie. They were both top-tier experts and incredibly formidable.
Thus, Lu Chen's first thought was to make a run for it.
However, at that moment, Xing Ru Xie spoke up lazily, “Yuan Ruyi, you want to cause trouble for Lu Chen? I do too. But before that, I don’t want him to have any accidents. As for how to handle it, you understand.”
Xing Ru Xie's words revealed a strong interest in Lu Chen and a protective intention.
Regardless of the situation, if Lu Chen fell into Yuan Ruyi's hands, he would likely have no chance of survival. This would lead to Xing Ru Xie losing clues in his investigation of the Yellow Brow Ancestor. How could Xing Ru Xie easily agree to that?
