wasn’t that place overrun by Demonic Qi and full of Magical Beasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Chi Zai’s explanation, was Western Hell also changed because of a Starry Sky Demon Beast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was hard to imagine how a single Starry Sky Demon Beast could change an entire world, this was after all a cultivation world where immortals could destroy heavens and lands, even obliterate worlds with a wave of the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could changing a world be impossible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it wasn’t an overnight task for Starry Sky Demon Beasts to change a world with Demonic Qi; it might take tens of thousands of years, possibly even longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a vast amount of time, enough for a civilization to evolve from the primitive stages to the peak of scientific achievement and then self-destruct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen exclaimed, “Starry Sky Demon Beasts are indeed powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why have you been suppressed here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai sneered, “A few cultivators annoyed me, and I chased them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their sect’s people came to help, I wiped out their sect altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sect was under his influence, so naturally, he had to step in for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing the Star River and engaging in several battles, in the end, right here, I was cornered by him, and he suppressed me with his sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked curiously, “If he had already defeated you, why didn’t he just kill you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai laughed loudly, “Nothing but fake benevolence.To see me dead would’ve been too harsh, claiming that the fault wasn’t really with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stating that reaching my level wasn’t easy, thus cutting me a sliver of a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I could escape from underneath this sword, he would let bygones be bygones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen inquired, “So if you free yourself, do you plan to seek revenge on him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai scoffed, “Unless I break through to the Saint Realm, what good would seeking him out do me, only to be cut down once more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I scoff at his fake benevolence, his strength is indisputably real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t afford to provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he cut me down before was simply my bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t the Immortal Path, survival of the fittest, quite normal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Senior seems to take it quite philosophically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai spat out, “What can I do if I can’t take it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t push myself to death over it, can I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I’m no match for him, if I were to reach the Saint Realm, you’ll see if I don’t seek him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d suppress him in some godforsaken place, let him experience what I’ve gone through for so long…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Alright then, Senior, please continue your story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I already tell it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else is there to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai grumbled with an annoyed tone: “Some reckless kids, relying on treasures from their sect, tried to capture my child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I caught them in the act, and of course, I didn’t let them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest, being unable to beat that man was simply an issue of my skills not being up to par, nothing more to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen uttered, “Your child is alright, isn’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s fine, I managed to rescue him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; no wonder Chi Zai, despite bearing grudges against the owner of the sword, held no deep-seated hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From different standpoints, the fact that the owner of the sword spared Chi Zai’s life was already quite gracious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay then, Senior, how can I be of assistance to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T01:52:26.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7b40d2b2e1a2f1ceefa5aecab898687d13ff9802513d6865f3c664a946d56d0","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2249","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2247",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
