Jiang Luyi let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Jiang Chen in action once again left her in awe. Clearly, her worries about him were unfounded. No matter how formidable Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain was, he was nothing compared to Jiang Chen.
“Master Zhang, do you want to spar again?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Master Zhang looked dejected as he put away the Thunder Seal and said listlessly, “Enough is enough. The outcome is clear; there’s no need for further sparring. Truly, talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. It seems this old man is destined to be eliminated.”
“Master Zhang, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Your strength is among the strongest I’ve seen in the realm of Daoist Techniques,” Jiang Chen replied.
Master Zhang was not a bad person; he was simply too obsessed with the righteous path of exterminating evil. Jiang Chen had no intention of killing him.
“You’re not going to kill me?” Master Zhang asked in surprise. Given Jiang Chen’s evident superiority, he could easily have taken his life, yet Jiang Chen showed no intention of doing so.
“I only kill those who deserve it. Although you offended me, it is understandable, and I won’t kill you,” Jiang Chen said before turning to leave for Lake Heart Pavilion.
Left standing on the surface of the lake, Master Zhang found himself at a loss for words. He had initially thought Jiang Chen was a ruthless killer, but now his perspective had changed; Jiang Chen didn’t seem beyond redemption.
Upon returning to Lake Heart Pavilion, Jiang Luyi was filled with joy.
Master Zhang also returned to Lake Heart Pavilion. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Mr. Jiang, may I sit down and have a proper conversation with you?”
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Let’s discuss the principles of heaven and earth, and the past and present. I know it may seem presumptuous, but I request an opportunity from you, Mr. Jiang,” Master Zhang said sincerely.
Although some of Jiang Chen’s actions made him uneasy, there was no denying his strength. He wanted to understand more about Jiang Chen; he was genuinely curious why someone so young could be so powerful, and he found Jiang Chen’s Daoist Techniques incredibly profound—something he had never encountered before.
“Alright, follow me,” Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Master Zhang, with his deep understanding of Daoist Techniques, was indeed a talent on Earth and a person filled with a sense of justice; keeping him around could prove useful.
As Jiang Chen stepped away from Lake Heart Pavilion, both Jiang Luyi and Master Zhang followed him.
Today’s events had caused immense shock to Jiang Luyi as an ordinary person, but for Jiang Chen, they barely stirred any emotional waves.
At Quiet Villa.
Master Zhang had initially thought this was just an ordinary villa, but upon entering, his expression changed dramatically.
“Mr. Jiang, your residence could easily be called a Celestial Abode; it’s truly astonishing,” Master Zhang exclaimed in awe.
“It’s just that the Spiritual Energy here is a bit denser than usual; it’s still far from a true Celestial Abode. There’s no need to be surprised,” Jiang Chen chuckled.
“Mr. Jiang, have you ever seen a real Celestial Abode?” Master Zhang asked curiously.
“If I told you I’ve seen one and even lived in one, would you believe me?” Jiang Chen replied with a hint of amusement in his tone.
"Believe me, Mr. Jiang, you are inherently unique. If it weren't for great fortune, how could you possess such extraordinary abilities? This world is inherently mysterious and unfathomable. The legends of deities and demons may seem like mere tales to ordinary people, but I firmly believe that there exists a transcendent realm where gods, Buddhas, and all manner of supernatural beings reside," Master Zhang said earnestly.
Jiang Chen glanced at Master Zhang, his eyes reflecting admiration. It was indeed rare to encounter such profound insights from him.
