Chapter 396: Tian Xin Dao Ren speaks of Longshe, turmoil arises in all directions

Half an hour later.

Shang Hongchen and Tianlian Zhenren left the Dadian; Shang Hongchen was in a dazed state the whole time, she looked at the outside air somewhat dazed, as if nothing had happened, yet as if everything had happened.

After entering, she answered a few questions, then she was let out; the imagined punishment did not happen, which was quite absurd.

Even now, she feels as if she's dreaming, somewhat unreal.

"Master, why is this like this?"

She thought that at the very least she should accept punishment, after all she killed Zhang Zuohao and Fang Yue; Fang Yue was fine, but Zhang Zuohao was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Daoist, had already condensed his Golden Core, was preparing to advance to true transmission disciple, lacking only a ceremony.

True transmission disciples differ from ordinary disciples in status and in every aspect.

True transmission disciples are truly the master's disciples, receiving the master's true transmission robes and bowl; once such a disciple dies, it will be a great loss; for any master to cultivate a Golden Core disciple is no easy task, taking at least over ten years, sometimes several decades.

Losing one means one less; it's truly hard to cultivate them—put it this way, only one in ten thousand disciples can condense their Golden Core, a probability pitifully low.

Tianlian Zhenren laughed and said: "What else could it be? They don't dare go to Longshe Cheng, right? That place is very dangerous, Hongchen; you don't understand. When you reach my level, you'll naturally understand the terror of Longshe Cheng."

Shang Hongchen turned her head, completely bewildered.

"Master, is Longshe Cheng really that terrifying? Even you don't dare go?"

Tianlian Zhenren shook her head and said: "It's very terrifying; that place is shrouded in a terrifying aura; anyone who enters, if not permitted, will be locked onto by that aura, and once they make any ill-intentioned move, the consequences will be very dangerous."

"I have felt that aura myself; let me tell you this: before that aura, I am like an ant."

Tianlian Zhenren reached out and stroked Shang Hongchen's head.

Tianlian Zhenren said solemnly: "So, Hongchen, you must sincerely thank that person; if it weren't for that person, you wouldn't be able to walk out of this hall today."

"Your uncle-master certainly won't let you off easily this time; you are truly fortunate."

Shang Hongchen's pupils trembled.

She thought of a person, someone she disliked.

That person, unexpectedly…

She also understood why the Heavenly Heart Sect took no action; the Shang and Chen clans had done likewise, living peacefully with nothing happening—this was not the Heavenly Heart Sect's style; now it made sense.

Everything now made sense.

Why her father acted that way, not worrying at all—turns out that person had grown into an existence that the Heavenly Heart Sect feared.

Even as powerful as the Heavenly Heart Sect, they dare not act rashly.

In the whole world, only the Spirit Sword Sect makes the Heavenly Heart Sect wary and dare not act recklessly; others, such as the Great Qi Dynasty and the Yin Gui Sect, are not taken seriously by the Heavenly Heart Sect; but now there is an additional place, or more precisely, an additional person: Chen Chuyang of Longshe Cheng, Longshe Shan.

"Chen Chuyang, have you already become this strong?"

At this moment, she realized she was somewhat dazed.

It was unimaginable, something she had never thought of.

Chen Chuyang… is incredibly strong; the man she previously didn't take seriously, the man she thought had poor talent, is actually a strong one; Shang Hongchen's world has collapsed.

Although she didn't want to believe it in her heart, …

"Master, is he really that powerful?"

Shang Hongchen was unwilling to give up, asking again.

Tianlian Zhenren smiled and nodded: "He is far stronger than you imagine, Hongchen."

Some things she couldn't explain too clearly; when Shang Hongchen reaches her cultivation level, she will naturally understand that person's strength.

Like a mayfly seeing the blue sky, humble and tiny.

"From now on, you should maintain this relationship well; it will be greatly beneficial for your future."

Having said that, Tianlian Zhenren walked ahead.

Shang Hongchen stood there for a long time; seeing her master walk away, she finally came to her senses and followed.

Inside the Dadian.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist said resentfully: "Senior brother, how can you favor Tianlian Shimei? This time she went too far; you didn't see how arrogant she was, not even taking you seriously; if you don't punish her now, what will happen in the future?"

The Heavenly Dragon Daoist tilted his head, smiling: "Heavenly Sword senior brother, this time you have wrongly blamed the senior brother; the senior brother is doing this for your own good."

The Heavenly Dream Daoist chimed in: "Exactly, Heavenly Sword senior brother, don't fail to recognize good intentions; if you're dissatisfied, you can make a trip to Longshe Cheng, Longshe Shan."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Sword Daoist let out a cold snort: "Hmph."

The Tian Xin Dao Ren seated above, seeing this, spoke slowly: "Heavenly Sword junior brother, that person is very strong; once you see him, you'll naturally understand the senior brother's intention."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist asked: "Senior brother, could it be that even you cannot deal with him?"

Beside them, the Heavenly Dragon Daoist and the Heavenly Dream Daoist both raised their heads, staring at the Tian Xin Dao Ren.

Tian Xin Dao Ren shook his/her head: "My spiritual sense cannot probe it; that person's spiritual sense is very strong, not inferior to mine."

"His strength is not weak either; two persons from Tianwai have died at his hands, Heavenly Sword junior brother; let this matter rest."

Upon hearing this, the three Heavenly Sword Daoists all raised their heads, their pupils trembling.

The Heavenly Dream Daoist asked weakly: "Senior brother, is that person really that powerful? Even you are not a match for him?"

Tian Xin Dao Ren pondered for a moment, then said: "This person gives me a feeling of great mystery; his strength is unfathomable; if we really fought, senior brother would have no certainty either; you all, do not provoke this person."

"I have already sent Yu Xuzi ahead; Heavenly Sword junior brother, do not interfere in this matter."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist is not someone who doesn't know good from bad, nor is he a fool.

Having said this much, he knows he cannot intervene.

"Yes, senior brother."

Tian Xin Dao Ren nodded in satisfaction, his/her gaze falling on the Heavenly Dragon Daoist and the Heavenly Dream Daoist, and said lightly: "You two also need to be careful; don't… go to Longshe Cheng; focus more on the Great Qi Dynasty internally; the Yin Gui Sect is stirring, they have already begun to act; and those demonic beasts are starting to become restless."

"As for the plague, trouble Heavenly Dragon junior brother to keep an eye on it."

"A plague has appeared within the Great Qi Dynasty; this time it's not simple, someone behind the scenes is pushing it; this time Yu Xuzi goes down the mountain mainly to investigate the source of the plague, and secondly to visit that person, expressing our Heavenly Heart Sect's goodwill."

The Heavenly Dragon Daoist clasped his fists: "Junior brother understands."

The appearance of a plague is generally an ill omen.

In the eyes of the cultivators, what the plague represents is clear to them.

Among the demon beasts, there is some movement.

In this world, there has been no plague for many years; this time it appears and suddenly spreads—there must be a problem.

Heavenly Dragon Daoist understood his senior brother's thoughts and also saw his senior brother's worry.

Heavenly Dream Junior Sister, keep watch on the Great Qi Dynasty; over there, there are also problems.

Heavenly Dream Daoist clasped his hands and said: "Senior brother, rest assured; junior sister handles things, very steady."

Tian Xin Dao Ren nodded, still feeling reassured about several junior brothers and sisters.

He waved his hand, letting them leave.
