Chapter 745: Heavenly Heart Sect Foundations, Du Chen and the One‑eyed Supreme Elder

Heavenly Heart Sect.

Tian Xin Dao Ren was irritated and confused, unable to cultivate.

He forced a halt to cultivation, furrowed his brows tightly, closed his eyes, sensed for a moment, but grasped nothing.

He raised a finger, made a calculation, and likewise obtained nothing.

"Who exactly is keeping an eye on me? Chen Chuyang? Or Qi Ruohua? Or perhaps Xinran Zhanglao of the Spirit Sword Sect?"

"The Spirit Sword Sect is pressing aggressively, having slain many of my Heavenly Heart Sect disciples; this debt must be settled."

"Moreover, Qi Ruohua of the Great Qi Dynasty exterminated my Heavenly Heart Sect disciples; within Wangdu, any Heavenly Heart Sect disciple or anyone linked to the sect was purged. Qi Ruohua truly is detestable."

"They all teamed up with that brat Chen Chuyang to jointly suppress the Heavenly Heart Sect, hum."

Tian Xin Dao Ren blackened his face; many events have occurred these days.

Since their alliance, the Monster Race has also begun to strike the Heavenly Heart Sect.

All forces eye them hungrily, ready to devour the Heavenly Heart Sect at any moment.

Tian Xin Dao Ren stepped out of the room, saw Tian Meng Daoist standing at the doorway, who handed over several jade tablets; after a glance, Tian Xin Dao Ren's complexion turned jet black, his eyes spewing fire.

Tian Meng Daoist reported: "Senior brother, they have been overly oppressive; each one targets our Heavenly Heart Sect. Senior brother, after you entered the Qihuang Bao Ku, they have already begun to act; many disciples outside have been killed."

"Although their methods are highly covert, we can discern they are theirs: the Black Dragon Guard of the Great Qi Dynasty, those core disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, and the evil ghosts of the Yin Gui Sect; they seem to have joined forces."

"On the Monster Race side, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King appears to have revived, not slain; the White Deer King has some unknown agreement with that Chen Chuyang; the Monster Race also attacks our disciples."

Tian Meng Daoist, noticing senior brother's grim expression, continued reporting: "None of the disciples we dispatched abroad have returned."

"Senior brother, what should we do next?"

The aggressive crowd would not grant them any respite.

Continuing thus, they will eventually be completely eroded.

They must strike back, to let those people know the might of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Tian Xin Dao Ren raised his hand.

"Senior brother, must we really… let them go unchecked?"

Tian Meng Daoist did not understand; the former Heavenly Heart Sect would never act like this.

Being bullied at the doorstep, yet remaining unmoved.

"Temporarily ignore them." Tian Xin Dao Ren raised his hand and said, "I have my limits."

"Senior brother."

Tian Xin Dao Ren turned his head, staring at Tian Meng Daoist.

Tian Meng Daoist instantly fell silent, no longer speaking.

She knew the senior brother was angry at this moment; continuing to speak would upset him.

Watching senior brother depart, Tian Meng Daoist exhaled a breath.

"Senior brother is becoming more terrifying."

She no longer asked about these matters; senior brother knew the situation.

Since returning this time, senior brother has become like a different person.

The hidden recesses of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Within a certain pocket realm.

Tian Xin Dao Ren stood before a house, respectfully watching the two elderly men playing chess, their hair white and grey; the two noticed Tian Xin Dao Ren's arrival but gave no greeting, as if they could not see him.

He waited for half an hour.

After finishing their game, one old man had only one eye; the other eye seemed blind, covered with a cloth.

He exposed a somewhat pallid eye, staring at Tian Xin Dao Ren like that.

"Sect Master has arrived; we have failed to welcome you properly, we hope you will forgive us."

The two did not rise; they only spoke words, taking no further action.

The other old man stared at Tian Xin Dao Ren and said, "Sect Master, have you encountered a difficulty?"

Tian Xin Dao Ren bowed and clasped his hands, "Heavenly Heart has seen the two Supreme Elders."

These two are Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Heart Sect, one of its foundations.

Apart from the Sect Master, no one knows of their existence; or rather, only the Sect Master can enter this place; others cannot find an entrance nor enter.

The one-eyed old man chuckled, "Sect Master, no need for formalities; just state the matter—our two old fellows still have some ability, perhaps we can help you, right, Du Chen senior brother."

The righteous‑looking elder opposite is named Du Chen, the Du Chen Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Heart Sect, who suppresses the Heavenly Heart Sect.

"One‑eyed junior brother, senior brother does not possess that ability."

Du Chen Supreme Elder hurriedly replied, "If the Sect Master cannot solve a problem, neither can we old fellows."

The One‑eyed Supreme Elder heard this and laughed heartily, "Du Chen senior brother, you are modest; in this world, there is nothing you cannot resolve."

Tian Xin Dao Ren watched the two converse, ignored by anyone.

Their words were evasive, unwilling to help him solve the matter.

After waiting for the length of an incense stick, it was finally his turn to speak.

"Two senior uncles, this time the disciple truly faces difficulty; please help the disciple."

"Oh?" Du Chen Supreme Elder frowned; this Sect Master seldom shows such an attitude.

The proud junior brother rarely returns to visit them; it may be decades between visits.

As the saying goes, one does not ascend the Three Treasures Hall without cause.

Since this junior brother arrived, there must be a matter; they naturally will tease him a bit.

"Sect Master, please do not be formal; we are all family. If you have trouble, how could we stand by and do nothing?"

"Indeed, Sect Master, thank you for your courtesy."

The two hurriedly spoke, smiling broadly; they wanted to see Tian Xin Dao Ren like this, not his usual lofty, show‑off manner.

Having achieved their goal, they naturally could not continue to suppress.

That's enough; after all, we're our own people—we can't go too far.

Your matter is our matter, as the two old fellows; the sect master has given orders, and as your uncle, I will naturally not refuse to help.

The One‑Eyed Supreme Elder spoke first, still looking after this disciple‑nephew.

Tian Xin Dao Ren said respectfully, 'The matter is like this.'

Tian Xin Dao Ren told the two uncles the details in full, Yi Yi Shi, including some matters about the Qihuang Bao Ku, naturally omitting many things, and besides produced the Back Mountain Turtle blood and flesh he had obtained, handing it to the two uncles.

Du Chen and the One‑Eyed Supreme Elder repeatedly put them away, smiling all over their faces.

Du Chen Supreme Elder frowned and said, 'According to what the sect master said, that Chen Chuyang kid is hard to deal with, his strength is unfathomable, and he's not easy to handle.'

'Does the sect master know his specific cultivation and strength?'

Tian Xin Dao Ren shook his head bitterly: 'To be frank, it's not that the disciple‑nephew isn't strong enough; it's that the kid is overly cautious, never using his full strength, so far I still don't know his exact strength.'

'His supernatural abilities are not ordinary; they don't seem to be from this world.'

The One‑Eyed Supreme Elder asked, 'Can we ascertain his origin?'

'If he is someone from Tianwai, we must treat him with utmost caution.'

'If not, we must deal with him beforehand.'

'If what the sect master says is true, this kid is hard to deal with; letting him continue to grow will become a serious internal threat to our Heavenly Heart Sect.'
