Chapter 1504 Four People Surrounding Each Other
Seeing Lu Chen lost in his fantasies, Fang Xinyi gave a strange smile and muttered something about technician number eighty-eight.
Her expression immediately turned displeased, and she said impatiently, "Lu Chen, I've said so much already, can't you take me away from your world now? I still need to find my people."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately snapped out of his reverie and realized his lapse in composure. He had indeed been fantasizing about returning to Earth and finding some technicians to serve him, which had caused him to drift off into a daze.
So Lu Chen smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his embarrassment.
However, when he saw Fang Xinyi's cold eyes, his smile gradually froze on his face.
"Letting you leave is impossible. Just stay here and cultivate in peace. I'll ask you questions later if I have any," Lu Chen said directly.
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger appeared in Fang Xinyi's eyes. She was already somewhat wary of Lu Chen, and now she was completely enraged.
She immediately turned hostile, her entire body emanating a powerful Daoist aura that seemed poised to tear apart the surrounding space. It appeared she was ready to fight Lu Chen to the death.
"You think you can keep me here?" Her voice was icy, like frost in winter. "Since you won't let me go, I'll have to leave in my own way."
Lu Chen was startled. Logically speaking, as the ruler of the Golden Pearl World, he could completely use the world's rules to crush Fang Xinyi.
But that wasn't the case. His opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations. If they were to fight, Lu Chen felt it would be a 50/50 chance, since his cultivation level was still a level lower than his opponent's.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not want to engage in a life-or-death battle with her in the Golden Pearl World. He knew that such a battle would not only disrupt the balance here, but could also bring unpredictable consequences.
So, Lu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He decided to compromise for the time being and agree to Fang Xinyi's request.
"Alright, since you're in such a hurry to leave, I can see you out."
Lu Chen's voice was calm and firm, "But you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that you will never be my enemy in this life, nor will you reveal anything about this place. Otherwise, you will definitely be in mortal danger today."
Fang Xinyi was slightly taken aback when she heard this, clearly not expecting Lu Chen to agree to her request so easily.
But she quickly regained her guard and said coldly, "I hope you keep your word." With that, she said no more and began to make the Heavenly Oath as Lu Chen had asked.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen kept his word. With a thought, he left the Golden Pearl World with Fang Xinyi.
With a faint spatial fluctuation, the two returned to the real world and appeared in a secluded dense forest. All around was silent, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the grass.
"Where am I?" Fang Xinyi looked around warily. Although she was eager to leave the Golden Pearl World, she remained highly vigilant about her surroundings.
"This is north of Zhongtong County, not far from the Qingming Mountains. What are your plans next?"
Lu Chen explained, while observing Fang Xinyi's changing expressions.
"I'm going to find my people. Goodbye!" Fang Xinyi nodded, but her eyes remained cold.
After saying that, she tore through space and left. With a light stroke of her finger, an invisible force seemed to tear open a crack in the air. A flash of light, and Fang Xinyi stepped into it without hesitation, her figure disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Chen secretly admired her. This woman's background must be extraordinary to dare to tear through space in the broken Divine Domain.
He knew that in this chaotic and disorderly realm, space was extremely unstable, and the slightest carelessness could trigger a chain reaction, leading to the collapse of the entire area.
However, Fang Xinyi was able to operate so calmly, which clearly shows that she has a very high level of expertise in spatial laws.
Just as Lu Chen was about to leave, he suddenly found himself locked onto by four divine senses. This power was incredibly strong, giving him a sense of oppression.
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately leaped into the air, standing firmly in mid-air. He wanted to see who had discovered him so quickly.
Before long, four figures teleported and surrounded Lu Chen. A look of surprise flashed across Lu Chen's face upon seeing this.
The reason was that these four people were Gu Nanqiao, Ge Zhenyue, Gu Beichen, and his maid Hong Yin.
Their appearance surprised Lu Chen somewhat. After all, although these people were all from the Gu family, Lu Chen had heard that Gu Beichen and Gu Nanqiao were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Chen asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with wariness.
Gu Nanqiao smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his smile:
"You really didn't leave. If Hong Yin hadn't reminded us, we would have been fooled by you."
After Lu Chen left the Buzhou Mountain Secret Realm, he was besieged and intercepted by various forces. Fortunately, he made preparations in advance and successfully avoided the people who were trying to capture him by using the external avatar talisman.
However, Hong Yin had previously followed Lu Chen in Nanman County and witnessed his escape methods, so he concluded that Lu Chen had not gone too far, and thus he staked out the vicinity of the Qingming Mountains.
However, this matter did not escape the notice of Gu Nanqiao's subordinate, Ge Zhenyue. He immediately took Gu Nanqiao to Hong Yin and coerced her into telling the truth.
Having no other choice, Hong Yin confessed the truth and secretly sent a message to Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen and Gu Nanqiao are both branches of the Gu family, and they are equal in both status and cultivation. So after they met, they finally reached a cooperation agreement after several rounds of dividing up the interests, which led to the scene of the four of them surrounding Lu Chen.
Lu Chen glanced at Hong Yin and quickly understood the key point. However, he was not afraid. Gu Nanqiao and Gu Beichen were both at the Transformation Realm, and Lu Chen could basically find an opportunity to kill them instantly.
Although Hong Yin and Ge Zhenyue are experts in the Dao Integration Realm, I have now broken through to the Dao Transformation Realm and have the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow and the Void Bell in hand. If we really fight, I may not lose.
"It seems you've really gone to great lengths to capture me," Lu Chen said calmly.
At this moment, Ge Zhenyue continued, "Young master, don't waste your breath on him. As long as we take down this kid, everything he has will be yours."
"Don't kill him. I still need to search his soul to find Yao Ji's whereabouts." Gu Nanqiao nodded slightly, signaling Ge Zhenyue to take action.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong fluctuation suddenly surged in the air.
Upon receiving the order, Ge Zhenyue took the lead and made his move. He formed hand seals and instantly released a powerful force that swept towards Lu Chen like a surging tide.
The surrounding space seemed to ignite, crackling and popping, and the entire space vibrated...
