"Master, you finally woke up!"
With a thud, Wei Chen knelt on both knees before the figure.
That person could only be Donghua.
Donghua looked bewildered and said, "Wei Chenzi, what is going on?"
"Master, you didn't die; you have been resurrected!"
"Not dead? Hmph, don't fool me, I used the ultimate technique of Silent Extinction Finger and was as dead as one could be... Uh, so what's happening now?"
Donghua looked around and saw countless powerful beings hovering in the air surrounding him and Wei Chen. Shocked, he exclaimed, "Is this a dream? Where did all these strong ones come from?"
Wei Chen succinctly recounted everything that had happened over the past year, introducing Ji Mei, Gu Yuehong, and Ni Junlin to Donghua. When Donghua learned that Gu Yuehong was a Peak Soul Realm Expert, he nearly knelt again.
Donghua squinted and took a long time to digest all the information Wei Chen had given him.
He even managed to understand how he had been resurrected. The vastness of the Soul World held countless mysteries; the enigma of the human Spirit was not something anyone could fully comprehend. As long as a trace of residual soul existed, those skilled in certain arts could bring someone back to life.
In Donghua's eyes, both Gu Yuehong and Ni Junlin were such skilled individuals. As for Ji Mei... she was the key figure behind the downfall of Cloud Spirit Sect. Even though she was now allied with Wei Chen, Donghua couldn't be bothered to spare her a glance.
Ji Mei stood awkwardly to the side, obediently refraining from making any noise.
"The Central Domain... I once dreamed of this place. Now I have truly set foot in the Central Domain, and in a body entirely composed of Soul Power... if that's the case, won't my cultivation speed be astonishing?"
"I never expected that using the ultimate technique of Silent Extinction Finger would turn out to be a blessing in disguise."
"That kid Wei Chen is now at the Human Soul Realm and has a top-tier Peak Soul Realm Expert as his bodyguard... sigh, I really don't know how he managed that."
Donghua quietly pondered as his expression gradually became calm.
He looked deeply at Wei Chen and frowned, saying, "Why did you suddenly call me Master? I took you in as a disciple; calling me Senior Brother is already quite respectful. After all, your current strength surpasses that of my own Master by a large margin."
Wei Chen pouted and replied, "I was confused for a moment and called you the wrong title. Let's stick with Senior Brother and continue our peer-to-peer relationship."
Donghua smiled lightly, not saying anything further.
In this new life, Donghua was even more composed than before. His ethereal demeanor could even make Gu Yuehong secretly admire him.
"First, handle your own matters. There are too many strong individuals here, and being surrounded isn't very pleasant."
Upon hearing Donghua's words, Wei Chen nodded and instructed Gu Yuehong to wake Fang Changlong.
Although Fang Changlong was the leader of the House of Life, he felt like an ant in front of Gu Yuehong. If Gu Yuehong wanted to kill Fang Changlong, it would only take a flick of her finger. The gap between the high-level Earth Soul Realm and the Soul Realm Peak was no joke.
"Fang Changlong, listen to me. You attempted to poison me; I will not let you off the hook for that. However, I have no interest in destroying your House of Life. Tell your disciples to restrain their actions and stop doing evil. I will give you one year to correct your ways. If you can change, you can keep your life; if not, I will wipe out the entire House of Life without leaving a single trace. Don't doubt my words or think about seeking help from the Blackwater Sect. In the Central Domain, no matter who you bring for assistance, I am not afraid."
Wei Chen coldly threatened Fang Changlong, who hurriedly nodded in response. He saw a glimmer of hope for survival in Wei Chen's words.
...
"You did well; I thought you would kill that person," Donghua said to Wei Chen on their way to Maguan City.
"Senior Brother, you think too highly of me! I've never been one for killing," Wei Chen replied with a pout.
When Donghua came back to life, Wei Chen expressed his true feelings and knelt down to call him Master. Donghua was the only person he truly admired from the bottom of his heart; he held no reverence for others, including Ji Pokong and Thunderstorm, the two strongest individuals in the Soul World.
His respect was reserved solely for Donghua; no one else could earn it or had the qualifications to be admired by him.
Donghua's integrity and his calm demeanor were extremely rare in the Soul World.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Chen held a genuine sense of awe towards Donghua.
At times, a person's respect for another may not stem from the latter's strength, but rather from their character, which offers valuable lessons to learn from.
Wei Chen put himself in Donghua's shoes and thought that if Donghua were to handle this matter, it wouldn't be appropriate to kill Fang Changlong.
After all, Fang Changlong's presence in the House of Life was of great importance. Under Gu Yuehong's formidable influence, Fang Changlong would follow Wei Chen's lead and alter the order of the Jianghu in the Central Domain, starting with the destruction of Jiaoleimen, subsequently threatening the House of Life, gradually gaining momentum.
Donghua cast a deep glance at Wei Chen and said, "You've killed quite a few people recently; those who have died at your hands number at least a hundred."
"Uh... how do you know that?" Wei Chen was taken aback, staring at Donghua as if he had seen a ghost, thinking that this fellow was just too incredible.
"You carry a strong scent of blood; that kind of aura cannot be hidden from me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen froze. Even Ji Mei, Ni Junlin, and Gu Yuehong, who had been quietly listening without interjecting, were taken aback.
A scent of blood?
Did such an enigmatic thing truly exist?
Ni Junlin and Gu Yuehong were both from the Divine Beast Clan; if they couldn't sense it, how could Donghua?
Their expressions towards Donghua became somewhat peculiar.
Being around such a person meant that even if one committed murder, he would know about it?
As Wei Chen's awe for Donghua gradually spread to Ji Mei, Gu Yuehong, and Ni Junlin, despite their own distinguished statuses and abilities to easily overpower Donghua, they felt an inexplicable fear rising from deep within them towards him.
With Donghua's presence, the team took on an air of feudal authority; no one dared to act recklessly as they had before.
"Senior Brother, don't fool me. You can smell the bloodthirst?" Wei Chen said skeptically.
"It's not about smelling, it's about feeling," Donghua replied with a mysterious smile. "I'm not criticizing you for killing; I just don't want to see you become bloodthirsty. If you kill too much, you'll gradually develop a taste for it. That kind of subtle influence will follow you for life and be extremely detrimental to your future cultivation. If you're cultivating the righteous path, you can't commit too many killings."
Wei Chen shrugged noncommittally; he found Donghua's reasoning quite esoteric and didn't believe it at all.
The journey from Maguan City to the House of Life was quick, but on the way back, Donghua slowed them down. He refused to let Wei Chen carry him, which made their return much longer. It took them a full six hours to fly back to Maguan City. Since Donghua was the weakest among them, he found an inn upon arrival to rest and familiarize himself with his new body.
Even though it was shaped exactly like his previous one through Soul Power, it still felt somewhat off.
Ji Mei and Ni Junlin remained at the inn, staring at each other and entering a mode of mutual sarcasm. Wei Chen took Gu Yuehong to the Bai Xiaosheng branch in Maguan City.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaosheng was still in Maguan City due to some delays and had not left yet.
The messenger from Fang Changlong held a leadership position at the Bai Xiaosheng branch in Maguan City. Wei Chen sought information about the Soul Gathering Spring from Bai Xiaosheng, who requested a map. The messenger relayed the information to the Bai Xiaosheng branch within the House of Life's territory, which eventually reached Fang Changlong's ears.
If Ni Junlin hadn't detected poison in the Soul Gathering Spring water, Donghua, having been reborn, might not have survived long before meeting his end.
Wei Chen recounted the events to Bai Xiaosheng, who was furious. What happened next was no longer something Wei Chen needed to concern himself with. He had no interest in how miserable the fate of the messenger who informed Fang Changlong would be.
After staying in Maguan City for several days, Bai Xiaosheng finally sent news about Han Mang and Han Che to Wei Chen.
While Wei Chen was busy boasting about his successes, Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign were encountering trouble.
The location they chose for establishing the Peach Blossom Sect was far from Maguan City. Beyond Maguan City lay the sea, while Han Mang and his companions selected a site in the buffer zone between Blackwater Territory and Yellow Earth Territory. This area was vast and filled with complex sect influences. Although these sects were nominally under Blackwater Sect and Yellow Earth Sect, they had long ceased to heed their control and operated independently, ignoring any resolutions made by either sect.
This region was referred to as the Chaos Realm by those from Blackwater Territory and Yellow Earth Territory.
As its name suggests, chaos in the Chaos Realm was unparalleled elsewhere. In this realm, sects rose and fell continuously; battles and deaths occurred at any moment.
Han Mang, Han Che, and Pharmaceutical Sovereign chose to establish themselves in the Chaos Realm, precisely because of its chaotic disorder. There, neither the Blackwater Sect nor the Yellow Earth Sect would interfere, presenting a golden opportunity for the Peach Blossom Sect.
If they were to establish themselves within the Blackwater Territory under the Blackwater Sect's domain, there were only two paths: either create an Eighth-Rank Sect and become affiliated with the Blackwater Sect, or establish a Nine-Rank Sect and oppose the Blackwater Sect.
Han Mang had a close relationship with the current leader of the Blackwater Sect, his sister, the old woman Granny Lin. He was unwilling to stir up trouble in the Blackwater Territory and thus had to venture into the Chaos Realm.
Bai Xiaosheng informed Wei Chen that Han Mang and his group had arrived in the Chaos Realm but were facing joint suppression from the five major Eighth-Rank Forces, making their progress extremely difficult.
Finding a suitable mountain peak for establishment was even more challenging.
With their strength, they could not contend against any single force in the Chaos Realm; each one was beyond their capability. However, since it was a coalition of the Five Major Forces, Han Mang, Han Che, Pharmaceutical Sovereign, Ginger Tooth, Jiang Langying, and others found themselves in a tight spot.
After receiving this news, Wei Chen expressed his gratitude to Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng apologized for leaking information to Fang Changlong last time. The branch leader of the Bai Xiaosheng Organization in Maguan City had been replaced; the previous one had long become useless. Bai Xiaosheng valued his relationship with Wei Chen greatly; that damn branch leader almost caused a disaster. Although Bai Xiaosheng was a refined person, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill if necessary.
...
Half a month later, a warship flew swiftly through the air with a whooshing sound as it entered the Chaos Realm.
After another two days, the warship reached the bustling center of the Chaos Realm and came to a stop.
Three men and two women jumped off the warship: Wei Chen, Donghua, Gu Yuehong, Ji Mei, and Ni Junlin.
“Old man, you better not let anything happen to my woman! Your own death doesn’t matter.”
