Chapter 117

Chen Wang, who had originally already eased a bit, completely blew up after hearing Qing Shi's words.

He struck out with a palm, without hesitation.

"Holy shit, you're crazy?"

Qing Shi was startled and quickly dodged to the side; the palm wind almost grazed Qing Shi's cheek.

Taking another look at Chen Wang's face, it had darkened to the extreme; seeing that his strike missed, he immediately lashed out again without a word.

"I'll kill you."

"Holy shit, calm down."

"I can't calm down, Qing Shi; today it's either you die or I perish."

Chen Wang, having lived so many years, had never seen such a shameless person.

Immediately, Chen Wang went berserk with his attacks; Qing Shi kept dodging, and the two chased each other.

"Chen Wang, although I admit I owe your Formation Sect over eight million top-grade spirit stones, I've also helped the Formation Sect a lot over the years, right?"

"You've been leading me on for three years."

"Back when your Formation Sect's Inner Disciple was trapped in Huling, it was I who came to the rescue."

"You've been leading me on for three years."

"Moreover, the Formation Sect's protective grand formation—when it lacked Heavenly Net Gold, I was the one who found it."

"You've been leading me on for three years."

"Can't you say something else?"

"You've been leading me on for three years, so today you must die."

Chen Wang acted as if he wouldn't listen to your nagging, solely focused on chasing and killing Qing Shi.

Hong Zun, standing nearby, saw this scene, his expression also turning extremely grim—"Is this the little problem you mentioned? They're trying to kill you."

If he had known it would be like this, Hong Zun would never have come to the Formation Sect with this guy; it's utterly embarrassing.

Now, let alone reaching the Heaven Abyss Grand Formation, just making it out alive is a problem.

Take a look at the eyes of those Formation Sect powerhouses around— they're icy to the extreme.

"Old drunkard, save me!"

Just then, Qing Shi's voice came over; hearing it, Hong Zun's mouth twitched, he glanced at the surrounding Formation Sect powerhouses, and said expressionlessly.

"Well, I'm not really close with him; we just happened to meet halfway. You go on, no need to worry about me."

"Damn it, we're from the same sect!"

"Hah, do as you please, just pretend I don't exist."

Hong Zun had no intention of intervening; seeing this, Qing Shi was furious, but Chen Wang kept pursuing him, leaving him with no recourse.

Seeing Chen Wang launch another attack, Qing Shi, in desperation, had no choice but to shout loudly.

"Chen Ergou, you've had enough."

Upon hearing that, Chen Wang's hand movements stopped instantly; Hong Zun, as well as many Formation Sect powerhouses, were also taken aback.

What was just said? Who is Chen Ergou?

Everyone's gaze turned to see Chen Wang standing there, dazed, his complexion complicated, a strange glint flickering in his eyes.

No one knew what had come over Chen Wang; only he and Qing Shi understood.

The atmosphere fell into silence; after a moment, Chen Wang, his eyes red, bellowed a sentence.

"Chen Ergou is already dead; you picked him."

His words were filled with deep resentment; hearing them, Qing Shi fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"Ergou, back then I.............."

"Don't say more; the Chen Ergou of the past is already dead, Qing Shi—hand over your life."

Saying that, Chen Wang charged forward again, and the two continued their chase.

These two have something going on; the Formation Sect folks looked at each other, full of curiosity, and even Hong Zun was completely bewildered.

However, what nobody expected was still to come.

As they fought, Qing Shi suddenly grabbed Chen Wang in a hug and said a sentence.

"Ergou, regarding what happened back then, I, as your brother, did it for your own good."

Hearing this, Chen Wang staggered, then couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

"You clearly promised me we'd never part, that we'd wander the world together and achieve immortality."

"Ergou, I..............."

"Why did you deceive me?"

The two white-haired old men, embracing at this moment, cried in a heart-wrenching way.

At this moment, everyone around was utterly dumbfounded, especially the Formation Sect powerhouses, their faces flushed red, utterly embarrassed.

They saw what? Their own sect master actually cried, and did so in such a heart-wrenching manner.

"This... this... what should we do?"

"How the hell would I know."

After all possible calculations, nobody could have foreseen this outcome.

As the two conversed, everyone gradually came to understand what had happened.

Speaking of Qing Shi and Chen Wang, the two had lived in the same village since childhood, both orphans; Qing Shi being slightly older, he had always acted as the elder brother.

As for Chen Wang, he could be called Qing Shi's little shadow, always trailing behind him since childhood.

Later, due to some chance and coincidence, both embarked on the path of cultivation.

With cultivation, their lives naturally improved; they had originally planned to stay together forever, but later, for unknown reasons, Qing Shi used some means to force Chen Wang to join the Formation Sect, becoming the former sect master's closed-door disciple.

This made Chen Wang always feel that Qing Shi had abandoned him.

Looking at Chen Wang crying nonstop, Qing Shi patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Back then, your formation talent just began to show, and the old sect master valued it. I didn't want your talent to go to waste, so I had to resort to this."

"Er Gou, don't blame Brother; Brother is doing this for your own good."

"I won't listen; we promised to be together forever, so why did you abandon me?"

"It's Brother's fault; Brother is sorry to you."

"Wuuu... Big Brother..."

This should have been a deeply moving scene, but everyone around just couldn't be moved, especially Hong Zun.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his teeth grinding audibly; watching Qing Shi and Chen Wang being all lovey-dovey, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Have you two had enough yet?"

"He really has me beat; I just came to ask for the Heaven Abyss Grand Formation, and you give me all this nonsense—what's the point? I just want a formation; please stop disgusting me."

This time, hearing Hong Zun's words, the Formation Sect members all nodded in agreement; there was nothing to be done, it was truly an eyesore.

Besides, there are so many disciples watching below; Sect Master, wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate? How will you manage your disciples in the future?

As Hong Zun spoke, Qing Shi patted Chen Wang's shoulder and said.

"All right, you're now the Formation Sect Sect Master—why are you still crying? Be good, listen, stop crying."

"Mm, I'll listen to Brother."

"That's more like it..."

"Qing Shi, if you dare disgust me again, I'll cleave you with a sword."

"I really can't stand this anymore," Hong Zun shouted angrily. "I just came to ask for a formation."

However, this time, without waiting for Qing Shi to reply, Chen Wang stepped forward to block him, his eye sockets still red, but his tone icy and firm.

"Whoever dares to move my big brother, I'll kill them."

At this moment, Hong Zun really felt like turning and leaving; damn it, two lunatics.

His eyelids twitched, his gaze icy as he looked at the two brothers; Hong Zun had truly had enough.

"I'll say it one last time: I only want to ask for a formation. Whatever you two want to say or do, after I leave it's fine—please stop tormenting me, okay?"
