Chapter 548: Heavenly Heart Sect's True Person Arrives

Wangdu.

Wanggong.

Jing Yuheng reported all information about this trip, including every minor and major incident; the matter of Chen Chuyang taking Tianlian Zhenren was not omitted, and every detail was fully disclosed.

"Your Majesty, the situation is roughly as follows: Tianlian Zhenren was taken away, and I, being incompetent, could not kill Tianlian Zhenren."

Qi Ruohua waved a hand: "No problem, if they are taken away then they are taken away; you should not hinder them."

"Fortunately he did not go to lethal lengths; otherwise, you would be dead."

Qi Ruohua walked to Jing Yuheng's side and soothed, "Next time, you must not act like this; Chen Chuyang is not someone you or I can provoke. Do not upset him. Tianlian Zhenren is not dead, and even if she went to Longshe Shan, she cannot escape. Chen Chuyang is clever; he will not let Tianlian Zhenren leave."

"You, on the other hand, are just overthinking; Chen Chuyang participated in this affair and is the biggest beneficiary. Do you think he does not know Tianlian Zhenren's importance?"

"All members of the Heavenly Heart Sect died beyond the border this time; Tianlian Zhenren knows the truth and certainly will not let her return to the Heavenly Heart Sect, at least not for now."

Jing Yuheng, hearing this, realized belatedly and clasped his hands apologetically: "At the time I did not know what I was thinking; a strange impulse drove me forward, and I acknowledge my mistake."

"You are not at fault; you acted this way also for me."

Qi Ruohua said slowly, "In the future, when you encounter him, do not act like this; I cannot be without you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Ruohua nodded with satisfaction; in the vast Great Qi Dynasty, the only person she can fully trust is the woman before her.

She does not trust anyone else.

She cannot entrust her life to them, even the two deputy hall masters of the Black Dragon Guard are the same.

If Jing Yuheng gets into trouble, she will be in trouble; Qi Ruohua would truly be left alone, and later would have no one to even speak with.

"You are the person I trust most; you must not get into trouble."

"In the future, you need not handle such matters personally; delegate them to subordinates. During this period, rest well and cultivate properly."

"Your cultivation is too low; you need to improve it properly."

He took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Jing Yuheng.

These are premium third-grade pills, with astonishing effects, most suitable for Jing Yuheng at present.

"Your Majesty, I feel ashamed to receive them."

"Take them; the stronger you are, the better you can protect me and assist me in affairs."

"I will certainly protect Your Majesty well."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Jing Yuheng stepped back.

Qi Ruohua lifted her head, her eyes deepening as she gazed into the distance.

"Chen Chuyang, this time you have gained enormously, and likewise the Heavenly Heart Sect will set their sights on you."

"The Tian Xin Dao Ren of the Heavenly Heart Sect is not easy to fool; he should be able to guess this affair."

"He has already descended the mountain; how should we deal with him?"

Heaven Sword Daoist died, and many disciples of the Heavenly Heart Sect perished.

Tianlian Zhenren vanished, captured by Chen Chuyang; the Tian Xin Dao Ren of the Heavenly Heart Sect could not sit idle, and would not watch his junior sister be killed.

Those already dead cannot be saved.

Moreover, he is also going to cause trouble for Chen Chuyang.

Outside Longshe Cheng.

An elder walked slowly forward.

Walking into the sunlight, his figure gradually appeared in everyone's view.

From afar to near, he became clearer bit by bit.

The elder glanced at Longshe Cheng and sighed, "Longshe Cheng has changed a lot; compared with its most glorious days, there are even more people now."

Longshe Cheng's overall strength has increased considerably, and the Chen Clan's power has risen enormously.

Tian Xin Dao Ren cast a glance at the Chen Clan; Chen Yuan and Long Ming both stood up, staring outward.

The two exchanged a look, their bodies left the Chen Clan and flew out of Longshe Cheng.

They quickly locked onto the elder outside and landed ahead.

Chen Yuan fixed his gaze on the elder and asked, "Are you the sect leader Tian Xin Dao Ren of the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

Tian Xin Dao Ren's eyes were calm as he glanced at Chen Yuan.

"You are Chen Yuan? Chen Chuyang's father."

Chen Yuan felt a chill in his heart, not knowing why; the elder's glance seemed to pierce through all his secrets.

Next to him, Long Ming clenched his fists, ready to act.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Yuan spoke cautiously, daring not to offend the man.

The Heavenly Heart Sect leader personally came to Longshe Cheng; this is his first time. If a strong one seeks revenge, the two of them are not his match, and whether they can block his strike is still uncertain.

"Take me to see Chen Chuyang."

Chen Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but Tian Xin Dao Ren's gaze tightened, a cold light flashing.

Long Ming stepped back one step, his chest trembling; fortunately Tian Xin Dao Ren did not strike, otherwise it would not have been so simple.

"Alright, I will take you there."

Tian Xin Dao Ren nodded with satisfaction, "I do not wish to act against you; I hope you do not bring trouble upon yourselves."

Chen Yuan turned back and nodded at Long Ming.

Long Ming gritted his teeth and turned to go back.

Only then did Chen Yuan let out a breath, stretch out his hand, and say, "Please."

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang walked out of the room, a smile spreading across his face.

Seeing that smile, Shang Hongxue immediately halted her advance, not jumping forward right away.

"Chuyang gege, what's wrong?"

Shang Hongxue felt uneasy; every time she saw that smile, she knew nothing good would happen.

Outside, something else had happened.

Chen Chuyang's waist-worn jade slip trembled; picking it up, he already knew the details, and upon comparison, it matched exactly what he had thought.

"Nothing much, just a guest has arrived."

"A guest?" Shang Hongxue immediately thought of Tianlian Zhenren, and cautiously asked, "Chuyang gege, are they from the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

"Exactly, it's the Heavenly Heart Sect's sect master, Tian Xin Dao Ren, who has gone to Longshe Cheng."

Shang Hongxue immediately understood.

"Chuyang gege, will our parents be alright?"

"It's fine; my father has merely been taken hostage. It seems Tian Xin Dao Ren comes with ill intent."

"Chuyang gege, should I bring Tianlian Zhenren over?"

"Not needed for now."

Shang Hongxue lowered her head apologetically: "Sorry, Chuyang gege; if it weren't for me, my father might..."

"Silly girl, it's not your fault; he will surely come to Longshe Shan sooner or later."

Chen Chuyang stroked her head; this matter concerns Tianlian Zhenren, and Tian Xin Dao Ren has come in person precisely to take Tianlian Zhenren away—as for my father, that is merely his warning.

My father will be fine; if Tian Xin Dao Ren really intended to strike, he wouldn't do it this way.

Tian Xin Dao Ren and he will eventually meet.

After such a delay, Tian Xin Dao Ren's patience is ample.

"As for you, don't speculate wildly; your father is in no danger."

"But..."

Shang Hongxue couldn't get past that inner hurdle, believing her own fault had led to her father's abduction.

Chen Chuyang smiled, pinched her cheeks, and comforted her: "You, don't overthink it; they have arrived."

"Go, go welcome them up the mountain."

"Yes."

Shang Hongxue went down the mountain to greet them personally.

Chen Chuyang waited on the mountain, looking down.

Before them appeared an old man.

Tian Xin Dao Ren entered the formation on Longshe Shan, locked eyes with Chen Chuyang, and the two met again.

Last time it was a clash of spiritual sense; this time they met face to face.
