Chapter 417: The Black Goat's Origin, Trickery or Scheme?

"Brother Chuyang, what happened?" Shang Hongxue saw Chen Chuyang's grim expression, walked over and took his hand to comfort him.

Heishanyang stood up, staring at the departing Lingjian Zhenren's back, its pupils rose.

Its pupils were strange, staring; before, it always lay on the ground, showing nothing special.

Heishanyang walked to Chen Chuyang's side, staring at the gloom and unpleasantness on his face; no need to guess, something bad must have happened.

"I'm fine, girl."

Chen Chuyang patted Shang Hongxue's hand, indicating she need not worry; his condition was fine.

Shang Hongxue was very worried; she knew Brother Chuyang too well—saying he's fine, in fact something must be wrong.

But she wouldn't ask directly; if Brother Chuyang didn't tell her, there must be his reasons.

This was the first time she had seen Brother Chuyang make such an expression, an expression he had never shown before; the arrival of that Lingjian Zhenren must have said something that upset Brother Chuyang.

"Girl, go practice your sword first."

"But, Brother Chuyang you……"

Chen Chuyang nodded at her, letting her go practice sword with peace of mind; Shang Hongxue couldn't argue with Chen Chuyang, so she went to practice sword, her eyes always on him, fearing Brother Chuyang might do something rash.

Heishanyang followed Chen Chuyang's steps into the formation; their conversation must not be known to others, and Chen Chuyang also didn't want them to know—those matters were too……horrifying; anyone who knew might become unable to cope.

"Kid, what exactly did he say to you to make you so……angry."

That killing intent, that gaze—it was still the first time it had seen Chen Chuyang like this.

This man usually smiles at everyone, unaffected by anything.

But today he changed his demeanor; after seeing Lingjian Zhenren, he began acting this way.

Heishanyang suspected Lingjian Zhenren had said something; it dared not guess randomly, so it asked Chen Chuyang directly.

"Have you ever been to the outside world?"

Heishanyang understood; it understood what Lingjian Zhenren and Chen Chuyang had said.

"Was it that person who told you about the outside situation?"

Heishanyang probed cautiously, observing Chen Chuyang's expression while speculating.

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Not bad; we cultivators, are we all their food?"

Heishanyang fell silent upon hearing that.

It acquiesced.

Chen Chuyang then knew it was so; this black goat surely knew the situation but had never spoken.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to know this as well; originally I didn't want to tell you so soon, but let me say this: anyone who leaves this world either ends up as food, becoming their stomach's fare."

"Or they take a liking to you and make you their slave; monster beasts become mounts, while for humans, if you're a man you become a slave, controlled for life with no say over life or death; if you're a woman, especially a beautiful woman, your fate is no better."

"In short, don't think too highly of the outside world; those people are even more ruthless than you imagine."

"Kid, he couldn't be……?"

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Yes, he came to take on disciples, asking me to become his student and guaranteeing my future."

Heishanyang's expression turned grave; indeed so.

Those people, indeed came ahead of time to swindle.

"Kid, you'd better not believe those people's words; they're very good at deceiving, and once deceived, the outcome is grim."

"Many in this world have fallen for their tricks; those people make them do all sorts of things, but in the end they still become their food."

"Once you're no longer useful, they'll kill you without mercy."

Heishanyang, from experience, gave Chen Chuyang a stern warning.

"You can trust anyone, except those people."

"Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Yin Gui Sect, or the Monster Race side, or even the Great Qi Dynasty—all have been deceived; they acted frenziedly for a chance, slaughtering humans and wiping out major sects, without exception, all failed."

"Their fate is grim; working for them, whether successful or not, the outcome is no better."

"As for taking on disciples, heh heh heh, it's merely their pretense to make you willingly work for them, then they kill you ruthlessly."

Heishanyang's expression grave, repeatedly warning Chen Chuyang not to believe them.

Chen Chuyang narrowed his eyes and asked: "Have you also been tricked?"

Heishanyang's face turned embarrassed, and it coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough, of course not; I'm incredibly smart, how could I be deceived by them?"

"Kid, let me tell you this: I indeed came from outside; precisely because of that, I know their nature; if it weren't for my fortunate chance to learn of this world, you people would never escape their control."

"Anyone who leaves this world ultimately vanishes without a trace; you should know that well."

Chen Chuyang fell silent.

It's only natural to understand; they'd just kill him outright.

Anyone who poses a threat will not be allowed to live.

If they live, they'll have thoughts and bear grudges against them.

These sects, these people, are certainly not fools.

They nip danger in the bud beforehand.

"Not a single one escaped?"

Heishanyang shook its head: "No, kid, don't harbor wishful thinking; their words cannot be trusted."

"Don't become their blade; what you must do is kill them and thwart their plans."

"Anyone who enters this world must be killed, none spared."

Chen Chuyang worried: "If I really do that, they'll surely come down at once to wipe me out."

"Hahaha, you needn't worry about that." Heishanyang said in a sneering tone: "They can't come down; to descend, their strength must be suppressed, not exceeding True Realm, at most peaking at Golden Core."

"Such strength is still not enough to look at in front of you, kid."

"The strongest is none other than that Lingjian Zhenren just now; his strength has already reached the peak state of this place, kid, do you have confidence to kill him?"

Chen Chuyang suddenly lifted his head, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

They cannot get in; once they do, any cultivation level will be suppressed.

If that's the case, then wouldn't it be fine for him not to go out?

He is unaffected at all; once his strength is sufficient, he can break out.

Thinking this through, Chen Chuyang understood the meaning of Heishanyang.

"Kid, you understand now, right? Why would he come to win you over, promise you benefits, tell you all this information, nothing more than to scare you, take advantage of your ignorance of the outside world, and thus have you choose to become his disciple."

"That person has a vicious mind; he doesn't want to take you as a disciple, but wants to use you to destroy all other forces, and then he will be satisfied."

Such a Strong One descending upon this place is a serious problem.

If there were no scheming, who would believe it?
