Without any visible movement, he floated up and flew through the air towards Wei Chen.
In an instant, he covered the five or six hundred meters distance, hovering three and a half feet above Wei Chen, his gaze fixed intently on him.
Suddenly, Wei Chen opened his eyes, two beams of lightning shot out, seemingly colliding with the middle-aged man's star-like gaze in the void.
In that moment, Wei Chen quickly retracted the brilliance from his eyes, bowed deeply to the middle-aged man, and respectfully said, "I greet you, senior."
To be able to stand in the air like this, he must be at least a Fifth Rank Spirit Realm expert!
The middle-aged man said lightly, "You are quite clever."
"Senior has been... observing me for a long time, hasn't he?" The word "sneak" was rather impolite, so Wei Chen hurriedly changed his wording.
The middle-aged man nodded with a hint of a smile, scrutinizing Wei Chen. "Your aura is a bit strange, but I won't pursue it."
"I have had some fortunate encounters; I cannot disclose them."
"That's fine." The middle-aged man seemed unconcerned. "Come, I will take you to a place."
With a wave of his hand, Wei Chen felt a gentle force enveloping his entire body. In the next moment, he was lifted into the air and found himself beside the middle-aged man, who grabbed him with one hand. A cool breeze brushed against his face as they swiftly flew out of Cloud Spirit Sect.
Wei Chen was even more astonished: "To fly this fast and steady while carrying me as a burden—he must be at least a late-stage Fifth Rank Spirit Realm expert or even a great master of the Sixth Rank Spirit Wisdom Realm!"
"He seems to have no hostility towards me. I wonder where he intends to take me?"
Half an hour later, Wei Chen had followed the middle-aged man out of the borders of Sui Kingdom and into Liao Kingdom.
Above a remote mountain village, the middle-aged man halted their flight.
"Now, I can tell you my identity." The man brought Wei Chen down to the entrance of the village and chuckled lightly, "My name is Donghua, and I am also from the Cloud Spirit Sect. Your sect leader, Dong Hua, is my junior; when he sees me, he must respectfully call me Donghua Shishu."
Wei Chen was momentarily stunned before kneeling on both knees with a thud, bowing three times as he respectfully said, "I pay my respects to Master Ancestor."
In truth, Wei Chen was not qualified to address Donghua as Master Ancestor. Only the current sect leader and the direct disciples of elders could refer to Donghua in such a manner, and they could only call him Shishu.
Wei Chen did not doubt the man's identity; with such formidable strength and being part of the Cloud Spirit Sect, there was no reason for him to deceive someone of his status.
"Have you apprenticed at Cloud Spirit Sect?"
"The disciple's strength is lacking and does not qualify for apprenticeship," Wei Chen answered honestly.
In Cloud Spirit Sect, only a few exceptionally talented Inner Sect Disciples had the opportunity to take on a master. In the Flower Soul Lineage, Weirou had not been able to apprentice under Yun Yun—not because she didn't want to, but because her talent did not meet Yun Yun's standards for accepting disciples.
Disciples like Ji Mei, who possessed extraordinary talent in Flower Soul, had already been accepted as direct disciples by Yun Yun years ago.
"Your talent is quite good; it's much stronger than those Core Disciples. I can take you as my disciple, but there is one condition."
Wei Chen was taken aback: Could this really be true? This felt like a golden opportunity falling right into his lap!
"Have you ever killed someone?" Wei Chen was lost in thought when Donghua asked again.
"No," Wei Chen shook his head in confusion.
"I practice the path of killing. Only those with a heavy heart for murder can become my disciples," Donghua said, pointing to the village. "This is a village in the Liao Kingdom, and you should know that the Liao Kingdom is the arch-enemy of the Sui Kingdom."
"The disciple understands."
"That's good. When dealing with enemies, there's no need for mercy. There are no Soul Warriors in this village, and with your current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to kill everyone here." Donghua paused, his expression suddenly turning fierce. "I'll give you one moment. Bring back ten heads, and you can become my disciple."
Wei Chen was completely stunned. Was this master joking?
"Do you know how the last leader of the Cloud Spirit Sect died?" Donghua sneered. "Over a decade ago, Ge Qiu Yang challenged me to a duel and I took his head with a single strike. Otherwise, how could the current leader have ascended to that position at just forty years old?"
"You have one moment; time is short. If you've made up your mind, you can act now."
With that, Donghua soared into the sky, leaving Wei Chen alone and desolate on the ground.
"His identity can't be fake; the previous leader was indeed killed, but there was no major investigation into it. It turns out it was a betrayal among peers. But must he practice such a ruthless path of killing?"
Wei Chen's mind was in chaos. "If I become his disciple, I could instantly hold a status equal to that of the sect leader. Then Sister Wei Rou's matter would be easier to handle."
"But killing inexplicably, even if they are from an enemy nation, how can I kill unarmed civilians?"
Wei Chen hesitated.
"To kill ten strangers in exchange for Sister Wei Rou's happiness... For Sister Wei Rou, I will fight to the end!"
Thinking of Wei Rou's care and affection for him, Wei Chen's killing intent gradually rose as he slipped into the village.
"There’s too little time; otherwise, I could ask who in the village is scum, those who have committed numerous crimes. If I knew that, it would be much easier to kill them."
Wei Chen stopped outside a farmer's fence, his expression filled with anguish.
The Soul Power in his palm condensed and dispersed repeatedly, gathering and scattering dozens of times, his face contorted in struggle.
"Those who commit numerous crimes... If I recklessly kill and harm the innocent, wouldn't I also become one of those scum? If Sister Wei Rou found out, she would look down on me." Wei Chen wiped the sweat that had soaked into his eyes, realizing he was drenched in cold sweat.
"I can save that situation on my own; I don’t need to rely on others!"
Returning to the outskirts of the village, Wei Chen collapsed onto the ground.
In just a few minutes, countless thoughts flashed through his mind!
Good and evil are often just a matter of perspective.
Donghua returned without seeing a single head, his face showing displeasure as he sternly said, "You are too cowardly; you are not worthy of being my disciple. Go back to Cloud Spirit Sect!"
