Chapter 40: Walking Out of Xushen Jie

~8 min read 1,488 words

"Hey! You two old swindlers, stand still!"

Somewhere in the initial area of Spirit World, the Unicorn Dragon sternly ordered Old Man Crystal Wall and Old Man Bird.

At this moment, the two were being stared at intently by the Unicorn Dragon; any scratching of their heads or cheeks would draw its harsh reprimand.

"I say, you are an ancient remnant species after all, how can you debase yourself to the point of being bossed around by a bald youth? Don't you feel ashamed?" The reprimanded Old Man Bird could no longer endure it, black lines of frustration rising on his forehead.

"Tsk tsk tsk... lack of ability is not scary; what's scary is having no backbone," Old Man Crystal Wall smacked his lips, shaking his head with a look of disappointment.

"Hmph! You two old things, if you dare speak again, believe it or not, I'll chop you up and eat you."

Hearing this, the Unicorn Dragon let out a cold snort, followed by a roar from its wide-open mouth, nearly blowing the two thin-bodied men away.

As for the logic the two spoke of, how could it not know? Did it need them to teach it? Once one has ability, one naturally has backbone; if one has no ability but still carries a stiff backbone, what is that if not courting death?

Not long after, Mengchen returned to this place. Seeing the two old men being watched strictly by the Unicorn Dragon, he praised it: "You did well. Alright, you may go now. In the future, if anyone bullies you within this Xushen Jie, you can come find me, and I will stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, the Unicorn Dragon immediately lowered its head and bowed, saying sincerely: "Thank you for your kindness, Supreme. If you have any orders in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."

Having said that, the Unicorn Dragon left. For a moment, Mengchen looked at the two quietly and said:

"Come, come, come, return the Crystal Wall to me. I already have a way to meet the Bear Child, so I won't trouble you two anymore."

"There is no such thing as spitting out what has been eaten; there is no Crystal Wall," Old Man Crystal Wall said with a look of righteous indignation.

"We only forgot the date; we didn't say we wouldn't find the Bear Child for you. Now that you are the one who broke the agreement first, how can you have the nerve to ask us for the Crystal Wall?" Old Man Bird looked over with great disdain.

The words and actions of these two this time truly gave Mengchen a lot of insight.

These two were truly experts among swindlers! It was clearly the two of them who swindled first, yet now they were using glib tongues to pin the blame on him.

"Heh! Oh, my temper!" Mengchen was almost angered into laughing. He formed a fist and slowly approached, looking as if he were about to strike a heavy blow.

Seeing this, Old Man Crystal Wall and Old Man Bird instantly displayed a trembling appearance, huddling together for warmth and shouting loudly: "Murder! Come and look, this bald guy is going to kill someone!"

Hearing the sound, many people walked over from afar. After surrounding them, they all began to point fingers at Mengchen.

"Where did this little bald guy come from? Even bullying elderly people who have no strength to truss a chicken, he really isn't a good thing."

"Pah! Such behavior is truly shameful. Look at how scared those two old people are."

"This heartless person is truly unworthy of being a cultivator of our generation."

The sounds of pointing and criticizing were incessant. They must all be newcomers to this Xushen Jie; otherwise, seeing Mengchen's bald image, how could they not know of the bald Supreme who had been spreading like wildfire recently?

Facing these discordant voices, Mengchen's face immediately turned cold.

People really do love standing on the moral high ground to kidnap others.

If the person being swindled had been them, these two old men would have been taught a lesson countless times already.

Furthermore, he was only thinking of scaring the two of them; he had no intention of actually taking action.

But they, on the other hand, didn't ask for the reason and started hurling insults right away.

Mengchen would not indulge them, so he raised his head with a cold face, his gaze sweeping over these people.

They were all young humans, their clothing uniform in color and style, all cyan and white, as if they were disciples of the same sect.

"Do you all like meddling in other people's business so much?"

The divine aura in Mengchen's pupils gradually surged, his tone exceptionally cold.

"Hmph! If you dare to do such things, are you afraid of people talking about it?" one youth responded coldly.

Then, another youth also spoke up, "We cultivators should naturally root out the strong and evil, and support the weak and helpless."

"Slap! Slap!" Two absolutely crisp slaps rang out. The two youths who spoke first instantly flew backward a hundred meters, fell heavily to the ground, fainted on the spot, and then dissipated.

Within Xushen Jie, one exists in the form of spiritual will. Those who faint and dissipate like this have had their spiritual state completely shattered, returning to the real world.

Having one's spiritual will shattered in this way, while not fatal, and allowing one to return to the real world, means the trauma suffered within Xushen Jie will still be carried back to the real world.

The previous slaughter of the various clans of Xiling Shou Shan was also the same.

Although they were killed by Mengchen in Xushen Jie, they were still alive and well in the real world and had not died.

This scene was too shocking; without even seeing clearly, the two were slapped away.

In an instant, the group of youths felt a deep sense of fear, all of them retreating with horrified expressions.

"Where are you running? When you were scolding me just now, you all participated!"

Hearing this, the group of youths began to scatter in a scramble, not expecting to run into such a formidable bald guy upon first entering Xushen Jie.

"Run! How can this bald guy be so strong!"

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

Mengchen's movements were extremely fast; one slap for each, and they were all slapped out of Xushen Jie by hand.

In the outside world, at a Martial Arts Arena, rows of youths were sitting in meditation. Suddenly, two youths woke up, clutching their faces and wailing in agony.

"Junior brothers, what has happened to you?"

On the outskirts of the Martial Arts Arena, other disciples who looked slightly older hurriedly stopped the precious techniques they were practicing and ran over to investigate.

They discovered that their faces were swollen severely, bright red, as if they were seeping blood.

The next instant, the other disciples woke up one after another, and then they too began to howl in pain while clutching half their faces.

For a time, the Martial Arts Arena became a miserable sight, unbearable to look at.

Inside Spirit World, after Mengchen finished clearing out those meddlesome youths, he turned back only to find that Old Man Crystal Wall and Old Man Bird had long since disappeared.

"These two old swindlers, they really run fast!"

"Forget it, let them run!"

He shook his head lightly, intending to let it go. He couldn't really catch those two old men and give them a sound beating, could he!

Now that the Bear Child was not appearing in Xushen Jie, there was no point in staying.

Therefore, Mengchen chose to leave.

He walked to the Rune passage leading out of Xushen Jie and jumped straight in.

The next instant, inside a guest room of the Butian Sect, Mengchen, who had been sitting quietly in meditation, woke up.

After opening his eyes, he did not see Jinchanzi, only Heizi, who had transformed into a small black dog, snoring away on the half of the bed behind him.

"It seems Lao Tuzi has gone to discuss the Dao with that Qitianyan and hasn't finished yet," Mengchen whispered to himself.

Afterwards, he turned his head and said indifferently to Heizi on the bed behind him: "The beautiful scenery of this Butian Sect is not bad, Heizi! Let's go! Accompany me for a walk."

Heizi's snoring continued one after another, and he did not respond.

"Let's go, stop pretending."

The next second, Mengchen no longer asked for his opinion, directly picked him up with one hand, and then carried him out of the room.

Just after stepping out of the room, a strange floral fragrance suddenly assailed his nostrils, intoxicating him.

He slowly took a step and walked straight along a path.
