“Xing Ru Xie, what do you want? Even your Supreme Vice Master Shen Taiyi must show respect to our Yin Yang Gate. As a mere disciple, what right do you have to oppose me?”
At this moment, Yuan Ruyi was somewhat angry because Xing Ru Xie's words were filled with provocation, implying that if he wanted to take Lu Chen away, Xing Ru Xie would never agree.
Xing Ru Xie pondered for a moment and said, “Star Gate is Star Gate, and I am I. We cannot represent each other's positions. My actions only represent my personal stance. As for how you, Yuan Ruyi, choose to think or act, that is your own business.”
After Xing Ru Xie finished speaking, he seemed unwilling to say more. His aura turned exceptionally cold, making the entire forest feel eerie, as if a great battle was about to erupt.
“Xing Ru Xie, your words are clear in their intent. So you are openly opposing me?” Yuan Ruyi stepped forward, his aura bursting forth. Indeed, he was a Virtual Immortal Master and possessed two Yin Spirits, equivalent to two avatars.
From a distance, Yuan Ruyi stood still while two figures flickered around him, sometimes separating and sometimes merging into one, exuding an aura that reached a terrifying level.
“Yuan Ruyi, I come at the behest of the Supreme Vice Master of Star Gate to investigate the cause of Huangmei Master's death. I am acting on orders. You are merely seeking personal revenge. Your disciple Fang Kuan aided tyranny and deserves death; even if this escalates to Essence, you will have no justification.”
Essence naturally referred to the leader of Yin Yang Gate, the Supreme of the Taoist Sect, the foremost figure among gods.
Xing Ru Xie's righteous demeanor and articulate speech made it clear he was acting on principle and orders; no matter how one looked at it, he was justified.
In contrast, Yuan Ruyi sought revenge for his disciple out of personal desire. Especially since his disciple openly interfered with Imperial Authority and conspired with the King of Qi against the state; he truly deserved no sympathy and could never claim righteousness.
Upon hearing these words, Yuan Ruyi immediately fell silent. He understood the truth behind Xing Ru Xie's words. Almost in that instant, a terrifying thought arose in his mind, causing him to feel a sense of retreat.
“Although I am not afraid of Xing Ru Xie, Shen Taiyi is too difficult to deal with; I still need to give him some face. Most importantly, I cannot disrupt Essence's plans.”
Moreover, regarding the current formation: although he had two avatars, no matter how powerful they were, it would be quite challenging to simultaneously suppress the two thousand before him.
As for Lu Chen, Yuan Ruyi was unsure of his strength but believed he could easily handle him.
However, this Xing Ru Xie had yet to advance to Void Immortal; his cultivation was likely at the peak of Manifestation of the Dharma Body. Yet his strength should not be underestimated; he was renowned among the younger generation.
Xing Ru Xie's famous technique was called Divine Blood Wheel. It sounded impressive, but Yuan Ruyi had never fought him directly; he assumed it wouldn't be easy.
If these two were dealt with separately, Yuan Ruyi might have some confidence. But if they teamed up against him, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Considering all this, although it felt unpleasant to compromise with a junior, a wise man does not suffer immediate losses; as for Lu Chen, there would always be opportunities to deal with him later.
But if I stumble here and suffer losses at the hands of my juniors, that would truly be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ruyi snorted coldly and said, "Xing Ru Xie, today I will let this go for Shen Taiyi's sake. As for that kid named Lu Chen, I will leave him to you as well. Hmph, farewell!"
With that, Yuan Ruyi leaped high into the air, manifesting a large Yin-Yang wheel in the sky. Yuan Ruyi's figure entered it, and with a flash of light, the two disappeared.
It seemed that Yuan Ruyi had truly left. Lu Chen looked up at the sky, initially thinking he would have a hard time getting rid of Yuan Ruyi, but did not expect the other party to leave so quickly.
However, Lu Chen could not feel happy at all because there was still someone named Xing Ru Xie in front of him, and this person was not simple.
In Lu Chen's view, falling into Xing Ru Xie's hands was not much better than falling into Yuan Ruyi's hands, but how to deal with it would depend on the situation.
After Yuan Ruyi left, the forest immediately fell silent, with only Xing Ru Xie standing motionless in the distance.
After a long while, Xing Ru Xie took the initiative to speak, "Are you Lu Chen?" His tone was very friendly and not at all fierce.
"Yes, I am Lu Chen. I have long admired your name," Lu Chen replied politely.
Lu Chen did not expect Xing Ru Xie to be so gentle; he was slightly surprised and felt that his first impression was quite good—much better than Yuan Ruyi.
Since the other party treated him well, Lu Chen naturally responded in kind. Regardless of whether one is a gentleman or not, as the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.
"You are a disciple of the Five Element Sect and also practice a type of martial arts from the Star Gate. At the same time, you have intricate ties with the Red Robe Sect. Hehe, recently you have stirred quite a commotion, and many forces have taken notice of you."
Xing Ru Xie spoke slowly and kindly while revealing that he had detailed knowledge about Lu Chen's background.
Lu Chen did not deny it; Xing Ru Xie's status was different, and he possessed a wealth of information about him. He found this completely normal rather than surprising.
"You have also killed many people. The White-Browed Sect hates you to the bone. As far as I know, most of those who are after you harbor grudges against you. Do you know that?" Xing Ru Xie continued.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I have enmities with many people. The Killing Daoist from the Star Gate is one of those I killed. However, I only kill those who deserve it; I have never harmed innocents—this can be attested by the land." Lu Chen defended himself.
"Those who deserve it?" Upon hearing this, Xing Ru Xie fell into contemplation and said, "What a justification for those who deserve it! You can even find reasons for your slaughter; your Dao Heart is indeed very resilient. How can you stir up such great storms?"
After a pause, Xing Ru Xie said, "I have heard of the Killing Daoist, but he is not from Star Gate. I did not come for him."
"I know that," Lu Chen replied from the side.
"You know? Do you also know about Huangmei Master?" Xing Ru Xie asked.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I do not know about that. I was indeed in the East Sea area that day, but I am unaware of the deaths of Yellow Brow Ancestor and Young Sovereign. For experts at their level, I cannot interfere in such matters." Lu Chen explained.
Upon hearing this, Xing Ru Xie fell silent, seemingly expecting this response from Lu Chen.
"Young Sovereign and Huangmei Master both died mysteriously. Their deaths may involve some even more mysterious elements, which I might not be able to intervene in, let alone you. I have investigated this matter thoroughly but have yet to find any evidence," he sighed, his tone filled with a hint of helplessness.
Lu Chen was taken aback by these words, surprised that Xing Ru Xie had managed to investigate the matter so thoroughly, indicating that there was likely a basic answer involving even more mysterious entities and individuals, but lacking evidence.
Lu Chen swallowed hard; Xing Ru Xie was indeed an impressive figure. His investigative skills were sharp and decisive, showcasing his capabilities.
"After Young Sovereign's death, your master Yin Boqing naturally became the new Young Sovereign and the new Vice Sect Master of Five Element Sect. Congratulations," Xing Ru Xie suddenly shifted the topic to Yin Boqing.
Lu Chen remained silent; he was well aware of Yin Boqing's promotion. However, he wondered about Xing Ru Xie's sudden mention of Yin Boqing—was he implying that this matter was related to him? Lu Chen dared not speculate further.
"My master has devoted himself wholeheartedly to Five Element Sect; everyone knows that," Lu Chen said while straining to look ahead.
He noticed that across from him, Xing Ru Xie's eyes flickered several times with a sharp glint, and even the corners of his mouth moved slightly.
Xing Ru Xie said, "Perhaps. Our conversation ends here for today. You are a promising opponent but still too immature. I hope you will adhere to your duties; having learned my Star Gate's Qi Gong Martial Arts, do not harm my Star Gate's disciples."
With that, Xing Ru Xie turned around and took several large gulps from the gourd in his hand.
His voice continued to echo, "Yin Boqing's reputation is too great; he will inevitably face suppression sooner or later, and I will seek him out."
Xing Ru Xie's figure grew more distant in the dense forest until soon his voice faded away completely, and he vanished from sight.
“Xing Ru Xie is looking for Yin Boqing?” Lu Chen licked his lips and murmured, feeling incredulous.
Moreover, the deaths of Yellow Brow Ancestor and Young Sovereign were actually linked to a mysterious figure. If this news were to be released, it would surely cause a tremendous uproar.
“Is that how it ends?”
Lu Chen did not expect that Xing Ru Xie would come to find him, and it would conclude with just a brief conversation.
Through this exchange, Lu Chen became acquainted with the renowned figure Xing Ru Xie. From the nuances of their conversation, it was evident that this person was headstrong and unconstrained by ordinary laws and regulations.
He didn’t need to ask Lu Chen too many questions; he could directly discern Lu Chen’s character from his words and obtain what he wanted.
The conversation with Xing Ru Xie seemed ordinary on the surface, yet he possessed such extraordinary abilities that were astonishing—he was truly an eccentric individual.
After standing in place for a while, Lu Chen pondered whether he had gained something from this misfortune. After a moment of silence, he decided to leave on his own.
Upon returning to Banshu Castle, dawn was approaching. Lu Chen rested for a while before coming out of the tavern and walking towards Ye Family Mansion within Banshu Castle.
