Chapter 549: Tianlian Zhenren: I Stayed Here Voluntarily

The two locked eyes; Chen Chuyang was above, looking down.

Naturally he had the advantage; favorable timing, location, and people were all on his side.

He gave a slight smile; Chen Chuyang did not emanate pressure, but his gaze was filled with an irresistible pressure.

This pressure made people fearful and apprehensive; Tian Xin Dao Ren was the same, facing Chen Chuyang's pressure, he could not withstand him.

After a moment of eye contact, the people around were frightened into silence by this pressure; it was truly too strong.

Father Chen Yuan lowered his head, instinctively avoiding that pressure; it wasn't that he didn't dare, but his strength was insufficient—even a slight resistance would cause great damage to his soul.

Soul damage is not something he can heal; lowering his head is the best choice, even if that person is his own biological son, it's the same.

Before strength, any relationship is false.

Shang Hongxue, like Chen Yuan, kept his head down the whole time.

Tianlian Zhenren, who was working, stopped his actions, turned around, saw Tian Xin Dao Ren, and called out bluntly: "Senior Brother."

That 'Senior Brother' made Tian Xin Dao Ren's gaze fall on her, his expression complex.

Tianlian Zhenren stood frozen, certain he hadn't mistaken; it was indeed his senior brother, not someone else, nor someone disguised.

"Senior Brother, is it really you?"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Tianlian Zhenren wanted to rush down and speak directly to his senior brother; he had so much to say, wanted to tell his senior brother, but he could not move, could not leave the mountain, so he turned his head and looked toward Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang glanced at her lightly, saying nothing; Tianlian Zhenren understood his meaning, did not move, life and death were in Chen Chuyang's hands—he must not act rashly.

"Junior Sister, stay calm and do not act rashly."

Tian Xin Dao Ren knew Tianlian Zhenren's situation, pressed his hand down, signaling her not to act rashly.

Going up the mountain.

This pressure spread.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui stood up, staring at Tian Xin Dao Ren.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's gaze focused, and in an instant, shock appeared.

His eyes fixed firmly on Ghost King Zhuge Gui, his emotions could not calm for a long time.

"Ghost King."

"Ghost King Zhuge Gui has actually regained consciousness."

"How did he manage that?"

Regaining consciousness is not simple; even if he used the power of the Heavenly Heart Sect, it does not necessarily restore consciousness.

Consciousness is the hardest to restore; it is not like bodily recovery, the difference between them is vast.

Consciousness is even harder to restore than the soul.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui's soul is shattered, leaving only a trace of consciousness—no, perhaps there is no consciousness at all.

From nothing to this extent of recovery, what did Chen Chuyang do?

Ghost King Zhuge Gui stood there, coldly gazing; as long as Tian Xin Dao Ren dared to act rashly, he guaranteed he would strike.

Ghostly pressure spread.

The others of Longshe Shan quickly returned to their rooms, not daring to come out.

Hu Yueer and the two others were the same, hiding and trembling.

On the mountain, Chen Chuyang saw Tian Xin Dao Ren; he had come up.

Tianlian Zhenren followed him up, not approaching his senior brother, not speaking, standing silently beside.

Without Chen Chuyang's permission, she cannot speak.

Chen Chuyang gave her a look; Tianlian Zhenren understood his meaning.

"Chen Chuyang of Longshe Shan, we have long been in spiritual communion; meeting for the first time, let me express admiration."

"Indeed, a hero emerges from youth."

Tian Xin Dao Ren praised endlessly; upon first meeting, he could not see through Chen Chuyang's cultivation.

He could see nothing, as if shrouded in a mist.

Chen Chuyang also looked at Tian Xin Dao Ren; he could see nothing, but could sense Tian Xin Dao Ren's concrete strength.

Both were probing each other.

Spiritual sense pressure and true qi opposed each other.

Tian Xin Dao Ren had no confidence to subdue him; or rather, the strength of Longshe Shan was greater than he had imagined.

It was completely beyond his expectation.

"Heavenly Heart Sect leader's first arrival, I do not know what business brings you."

Chen Chuyang asked in person, pointing to his father Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan voluntarily returned to Chen Chuyang's side.

Tian Xin Dao Ren offered no obstruction; even if he wanted to block, he could not.

Tianlian Zhenren knew his senior brother had lost the confrontation, failed to defeat Chen Chuyang; this place is Chen Chuyang's territory.

"You already know, don't you?"

Tian Xin Dao Ren pointed at Tianlian Zhenren and said slowly: "I have heard that Junior Sister Tianlian is on Longshe Shan; this visit of our sect leader is to take her away."

"Please release her; my Heavenly Heart Sect is deeply grateful."

Verbal gratitude, anyone can say.

Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "I never bind others; Tianlian Zhenren is the master of my wife's elder sister, and thus also my wife's master; I would not treat her poorly; besides, she chose to stay herself, it's not that I won't let her leave."

"What I said is correct, isn't it, Tianlian Zhenren?"

Tianlian Zhenren stared, eyes wide, looking at Chen Chuyang.

Never having seen such a shameless person, she wanted to leave, but this person would not allow her to go.

All of his property and life are in Chen Chuyang's hands, controlled by him; without his permission, leaving Longshe Shan means death.

Whoever it was, they would know what to do.

This person hasn't held back in exploiting her, squeezing out everything he can.

The Heavenly Heart Sect leader raised their head, waiting for their junior sister's answer.

Tianlian Zhenren hesitated; if she went against Chen Chuyang's wishes, even if she left Longshe Shan, she wouldn't live long.

The seal inside her body could not be broken, something she had never seen before.

Even her senior brother might not be able to break it, and even the formation masters of the Heavenly Heart Sect might fail.

By then, what awaits her is death.

Chen Chuyang has spared her once, but there won't be a second time.

But staying here, isn't that...?

Her senior brother came from afar to rescue her; if she doesn't go back with him, he will be heartbroken.

Afterwards, no one will come to rescue her; Tianlian Zhenren, for a moment, didn't know how to answer.

"Tianlian junior sister, speak freely; your senior brother is here, no one can force you."

The Heavenly Heart Sect leader knows the junior sister is being threatened; even if she wants to leave, she might be hindered by the threat and unable to go.

"Senior brother, I, the junior sister, willingly stay at Longshe Shan; Chen Chuyang hasn't threatened me, he treats me well."

Upon saying that, Tianlian Zhenren felt completely drained.

She knew her conscience was gone at this moment.

She closed her eyes, welcoming despair.

This is the darkest, most desperate moment of her life.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Heart Sect leader gave a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist, your tactics are impressive; I, an old man, admire you."

"To make my junior sister go against her conscience and say these words, Fellow Daoist, you're formidable, truly formidable."

"Over the years, Fellow Daoist, you are the most outstanding talent I have ever seen."

Chen Chuyang laughed and clasped his hands: "Undue praise; everyone says that."

Heavenly Heart Sect leader: "……"

Tianlian Zhenren: "……" Are you not understanding sarcasm?

Shang Hongxue tilted her head, looking at Chuyang older brother; inside, she was full of admiration.

"My Chuyang older brother is really amazing; saying that without blushing or a racing heart is awesome."

Chen Yuan stared blankly at his son, who hadn't visited in a long time, and noticed his son's skin had thickened.

As thick as the walls of Longshe Cheng.
