Chapter 2054: We Have Met
"Let's begin." Chen Yu nodded.
The black-robed figure raised a hand and waved it; several streams of liquid resembling mercury appeared, condensed into ice pillars, and vanished into Chen Yu's body.
Chen Yu let out a muffled groan. He knelt on one knee on the ground, struggling to support himself. He felt as if his body were being torn apart, and his Extraordinary Meridians were sealed by this silver-like liquid of the Dao.
"Chen Yu." Tang Xue leaned down, looking at him with concern.
"I'm fine." Chen Yu slowly exhaled a breath, then he stood up and looked at the purple-robed figure: "This time, you should be at ease, right?"
"As expected of the God Lord's grandson." The purple-robed figure smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "You have guts. Good, since that's the case, come with me."
Amidst the sky full of ice and snow, Chen Yu walked forward with uneven steps until he reached a helicopter. The purple-robed figure pointed at the helicopter and said: "Get on."
Chen Yu nodded and boarded the helicopter, then let out a long breath. The True Qi within his Extraordinary Meridians felt as if it had been dammed and frozen; he couldn't summon it at all.
Right now, he was just an ordinary person. The distance from the Snow Plains to the helicopter landing point was a full ten-plus kilometers, which left him unable to catch his breath.
Tang Xue watched Chen Yu from the side, appearing somewhat pained.
Chen Yu dove into the helicopter, sat down, and panted heavily.
Seeing the worried expression on Tang Xue's face, he smiled and patted the snow off her body: "I'm fine. This little bit of walking isn't enough to take my life."
"But I'm worried that those things inside your body will have a bad effect on you," Tang Xue said worriedly.
"Rest assured, these things are just high-tech liquid metal; they aren't poisonous," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "Its function is to block the connections between the Extraordinary Meridians in my body, preventing my Internal Force from resonating."
"Don't worry, I'm not injured, just restricted in power; I've just become an ordinary person for now," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Tang Xue nodded slowly and sat down leaning against Chen Yu. At this moment, the purple-robed figure also walked into the helicopter. He glanced at Chen Yu and then smiled: "If you regret it now, there is still time."
"Why would I regret it?" Chen Yu looked at the purple-robed figure: "I've been in the Western World for so long, doing so many things—wasn't it all just to see him once?"
"Now that I finally have this opportunity, why would I let it go to waste?"
"Because you know the cost and consequences of seeing him," the purple-robed figure stared at Chen Yu and said: "The God Lord himself does not wish to harm you."
"Heh, he doesn't want to harm me?" Chen Yu laughed, as if he had heard some hilarious joke.
"Fine, say whatever you like. Let's go; don't keep him waiting."
"Depart." The purple-robed figure ignored Chen Yu further. He waved his hand, and the helicopter roared into the air.
"The God Lord I'm going to see—is it him in person?" Chen Yu stared at the purple-robed figure and asked.
"Rest assured, the person you see will definitely be him in person," the purple-robed figure glanced at Chen Yu: "Why would you ask such a question?"
"Because I feel he is so cautious that the one coming to see me might just be a body double," Chen Yu smiled and said: "No one knows where his true self is."
"The Master is indeed cautious, but not to the extent you describe. He has nothing to be ashamed of regarding you, so why couldn't he come to see you?" The purple-robed figure glanced at Chen Yu: "You are truly thinking a bit too much."
"Alright, I hope I am thinking too much," Chen Yu nodded: "Are we almost there?"
"This has only just begun; it's still far. Take a nap; you'll be there when you wake up." The purple-robed figure's voice suddenly seemed to become somewhat bewitching.
Chen Yu's power was currently sealed. Although he knew this was a hypnotic method used by the purple-robed figure, he had no way to resist it. He had no way to resist, and he could only drift off into a groggy sleep.
"What exactly does the God Lord want to do?" Tang Xue's voice trembled slightly.
Because she knew what kind of methods the God Lord had, she was extremely worried about Chen Yu's future.
"Rest assured, he won't kill him," the purple-robed figure said indifferently: "This is the Master's own grandson, after all. He is merely extracting some things from Chen Yu; it won't harm his life."
"I believe I understand him," Tang Xue gritted her teeth and said: "The God Lord doesn't care about family ties at all."
"Then what do you think the Master will do to him?" The purple-robed figure turned his head and glanced at Tang Xue: "Do not attempt to guess the Master's intentions, because you will never be able to guess them."
"And the Master does not like others trying to fathom his heart."
"I am not trying to fathom him; I am concerned about Chen Yu," Tang Xue gritted her teeth and said: "You knew long ago that I was Chen Yu's person?"
"The Master has an eye that perceives all things in the world; of course he knew your heart was with Chen Yu," the purple-robed figure smiled slightly: "The reason he didn't expose it was because he was fishing. Otherwise, how could Chen Yu have come to the Western World?"
"You used me?" Tang Xue's eyes were cold.
"Yes, used you to fish out the big catch that is Chen Yu. This is a very common occurrence," the purple-robed figure spread his hands: "This is also where your value lies, isn't it?"
Tang Xue said nothing. She half-embraced Chen Yu, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
When Chen Yu woke up again, he was already on a small island surrounded by the sea on all sides.
This small island did not exist on any map; it seemed to have been hidden using spatial technology.
Moreover, he was currently in a laboratory enhanced with high technology. He looked at everything around him, feeling somewhat lost.
An old man slowly walked over. He raised his head and looked at Chen Yu.
This old man was none other than He Tiansheng. Looking at Chen Yu, he seemed very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that old thing Chen Tianming still has some tricks up his sleeve."
"You, who have achieved the Emperor Star Fate, are indeed a piece of unpolished Jade."
"He Tiansheng?" Chen Yu slowly raised his head, struggling to stand up.
The Primordial Qi in his body was completely sealed; now he was just an ordinary person, and after several ordeals, his mental state was extremely poor.
"Calling me by my name directly seems rather inappropriate. After all, I am your grandfather," He Tiansheng chuckled: "You should show the bare minimum of respect to your elders."
"That depends on whether this elder is worth respecting." Chen Yu stood straight and stared at He Tiansheng: "This is my first time seeing you."
"But this is my second time seeing you. When you were just born, I was amazed by your appearance," He Tiansheng said with a smile: "Also shocked was Chen Tianming; he said you could achieve the Emperor Star Fate."
"Unexpectedly, decades have passed in the blink of an eye. It seems he succeeded, but it cannot be considered a complete success—at the very least, he can no longer control you."
