Chapter 1589 (Raw 1571): Utterly Heartless

Xiao Chen’s kindness gained such a result in exchange. This would normally make one tremble.

However, he had met all sorts of people in his life, and his mental state did not fluctuate much.

Xiao Chen revealed a smile as he raised his head to look at the blue-clad old man and asked, “Senior, are you planning to keep me here by force?”

Fei`er still had not figured out what was going on. She smiled and said, “Big Brother Xiao Chen, how about you come with us? Our sect master is a nice person.”

Luo Nan sensed that something was wrong. His expression changed in startlement.

Brother Xiao Chen, leave quickly. Something’s wrong. The positions of my junior brothers are in the Nine Section Formation.

Compared to Fei`er’s naivety and innocence, Luo Nan might seem offensive and foolish, but his observation skills were normally much more meticulous.

Although Luo Nan did not know what exactly was wrong, he immediately sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen to warn him.

Many thanks.

Xiao Chen felt grateful. While ginger got spicier with age, only youths would not care so much about profits and losses.

“Master, Martial Uncle, since Brother Xiao Chen is not willing to stay, let’s forget it. I’ll send him off,” Luo Nan said with a smile as he squeezed between the blue-clad old man and Xiao Chen.

Clearly, Luo Nan wanted to create an opening for Xiao Chen to leave.

“Scram to the side. This is not the place for you to speak.”

The half-step Primal Core Realm old man rudely shoved Luo Nan to the side with a palm strike.

That palm strike had a lot of force behind it; a strong wind howled on the deck.

Luo Nan was directly blown away, stumbling and nearly falling over.

“Senior Brother, are you alright?” The startled Fei`er ran over worriedly and supported Luo Nan.

Fei`er turned her head and frowned as she asked, “Martial Uncle, why did you hit him so heavily?”

The blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man did not even turn their heads. However, that blue-clad old man ordered coldly, “Luo Nan, just watch your junior sister carefully and stop sticking your nose where it does not belong!”

The atmosphere immediately chilled as a killing intent spread out.

The nine people behind Xiao Chen gripped their swords at the same time and locked their killing intent on him.

“Senior Brother, what is Master trying to do?” Fei`er asked, feeling confused.

“Judging by their posture, they are going to make a move on Xiao Chen.”

“Why?”

Luo Nan smiled bitterly and said, “Who knows? It’s likely to have something to do with benefits. Actually, it is easy to understand when you think about it. How could Master be so kind as to tell Xiao Chen about Profound Yin Island? He probably planned all this out long ago.”

Luo Nan felt somewhat bitter. His martial uncle had not held back on that palm strike. His bones even cracked.

The blue-clad old man looked at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, “Xiao Chen, even if you do not want to stay, you will have to stay. It is not up to you!”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly. “I, Xiao Chen, have seen many shameless people like you. On account of Luo Nan and Fei`er, I’ll give you one last chance. Just obediently let me go, and nothing will happen. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences yourselves!”

When the blue-clad old man heard that, he laughed loudly, “Is that so? I have also seen many arrogant youths like yourself. Let me ask you this, then: what do you have to make me suffer the consequences?!”

The blue-clad old man unleashed his aura amid maniacal laughter.

The aura of a Minor Primal Core cultivator pressed down heavily on Xiao Chen. The advantage in cultivation allowed the blue-clad old man to show disdain for everyone around him.

Everyone else felt a faint pressure, but they did not dare to resist, either.

It was like the blue-clad old man was an unstoppable king.

“Xiao Chen, don’t think that we do not know about your secrets. Our spy in the Lotus Sect Temple happened to learn that you are wanted by the Black Lotus Church. You are just a target of scorn, yet you dare to be so arrogant? You must really be tired of living!” The half-step Primal Core Realm old man added some malicious words as he glared at Xiao Chen ruthlessly from beside the blue-clad old man.

The half-step Primal Core Realm old man was extremely upset with Xiao Chen for not showing any fear and appearing insolent.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said, “So, that’s what’s going on. I was wondering why the two of you suddenly became so courageous.”

“Xiao Chen, you are not to be rude to my master!”

Just at this moment, Fei`er suddenly shouted sternly at Xiao Chen.

Before anyone could react, Fei`er soared into the air and thrust her sword at Xiao Chen.

This sword was extremely fast. The angle of attack was also exceptionally strange, while its timing was excellent.

However...

There was no killing Qi. It was just a straightforward attack. The move was messy and not sharp at all. Aside from speed, there was no other threat.

Xiao Chen moved back lightly and flicked Fei`er’s sword out of her hand with a snap of his fingers.

Big Brother Xiao Chen, hold me hostage and leave. Master has always been very good to me and will not make a move on me.

This happened in the time it took for a spark to fly, so Xiao Chen did not have any time to choose. He could only go with the flow and use one hand to grab Fei`er’s neck.

“Junior Sister!” Luo Nan cried out. He appeared somewhat pale, his heart aching for some reason.

Fei`er, there is no need for you to do this. I can leave by myself.

I know. From the moment I saw Big Brother Xiao Chen, I knew that Big Brother Xiao Chen is not a braggart. I’m just worried about Master and Martial Uncle. Is that fine?

Fei`er had seen Xiao Chen’s performance on Profound Yin Island as well as his cold and emotionless expression when killing Feng Yun and the others. She knew that Xiao Chen was not one to boast and definitely had a trump card on hand.

Hence, she felt somewhat afraid.

Fei`er worried for Xiao Chen but also for her master and her martial uncle. Right now, this was the best way to deal with the situation.

In the worst case, her master would just severely reprimand her when she returned.

As long as Xiao Chen, her master, and her martial uncle were fine, it would be alright.

Xiao Chen felt somewhat speechless at the kindness of Fei`er. After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen said, I promise you.

While holding on to Fei`er, Xiao Chen moved back step by step. The Tianyi Sect disciples had to open up a path for him.

“Master, save me!”

The blue-clad old man was furious. How could he not tell that Fei`er purposely handed herself over to be used as a hostage?

“You traitorous bitch, this old man raised you for ten years, treating you like my own daughter. Yet, in a mere one month, you actually worked with an outsider to cheat me. What is the point of keeping you around?!”

Seeing Fei`er’s actions, the blue-clad old man became thoroughly enraged. He unleashed killing Qi, and his figure flashed as he directly threw a palm strike to the front.

“Boom!”

When the blue-clad old man launched his palm strike, his body seemed to merge with the surrounding space. As he moved forward, space compressed intensely.

This put immense pressure on both Xiao Chen and Fei`er.

Becoming one with the world, the blue-clad old man’s body seemed to merge with the surrounding space. With the rise of his hand, he could compress space.

This was a huge advantage that a Primal Core cultivator had over a Veritable Personage cultivator.

The vast might of this palm strike far surpassed Xiao Chen’s expectations.

The more surprising thing to Xiao Chen was that the blue-clad old man turned deranged and lost all his humanity. The fact that the blue-clad old man would attack Fei`er stunned Xiao Chen for a mere moment.

Although Xiao Chen was stunned, Luo Nan, whose heart was set on Fei`er, did not get stunned at all from beginning to end.

When seeing Fei`er in danger, Luo Nan did not even seem to think at all, reacting on basic instinct.

He leaped up from behind and shielded Fei`er in the time it took for a spark to fly.

In order to intercept this palm strike, Luo Nan drained all his Veritable Essence Energy to raise his speed to the limit.

His defenses were practically zero.

“Pu ci!”

The instant the palm strike landed, Luo Nan vomited a mouthful of blood. His heart ruptured on the spot, and his internal organs shattered.

Luo Nan’s lifeforce faded at a visible rate.

“Senior Brother!”

Fei`er was so frightened that she cried. Then, she struggled free of Xiao Chen’s hand and immediately hugged Luo Nan.

“Senior Brother, why were you so silly...”

As Fei`er hugged Luo Nan, she checked his injuries with a pang in her heart. In despair, her tears flowed out even faster than before.

“Junior Sister, don’t cry. As long as you are alright, it’s fine. Senior Brother knows that you like heroes. However, I really cannot become one. I’m too inferior...very much too inferior...”

“Senior Brother, stop speaking. I don’t want to know anything. Don’t speak anymore.”

Fei`er hugged Luo Nan tightly, as though she could save Luo Nan by doing that.

“No, there are some things that I need to say. Otherwise, I might never get the chance to do so. I like you. From the moment I saw you, I liked you... At that time, I was not trying to make Junior Sister angry. I just felt that I was not worthy of you.”

Blood continuously flowed out of Luo Nan’s mouth. However, he still smiled. This was the first time he was so close to his junior sister.

Luo Nan was so close that he could hear Fei`er’s heartbeat and feel her warmth, understand her worries...perhaps...this was enough.

Xiao Chen’s expression turned terrifyingly cold. He looked up at the somewhat stunned blue-clad old man and said icily, “Sometimes one really should not be too kind. This is especially so with someone worse than a beast like you.”

“You bastard! You have no right to scold me. All this happened because of you. I’ll kill you!” The blue-clad old man roared somewhat crazily, “It’s all because of you!”

“Whoosh!”

However, just at this moment, a horrifying aura appeared.

Before the other nine Tianyi Sect disciples on the ship could react, a strong suction pulled their bodies over. The Jiao Snake opened its jaws and swallowed them easily. Then, it landed on the ship.

“A late-stage Major Primal Core Realm ferocious beast! You are a beast tamer!”

An enormous shadow immediately encased the blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man.

“Sorry, I’m a little late. Profound Yin Mountain is too large, so I got delayed.”

“It’s fine. You are not really late!” Xiao Chen said expressionlessly.

The Jiao Snake hissed loudly and swept out its tail. The blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man could not block the blow at all.

“Pu ci!” The two vomited large mouthfuls of blood and fell to their knees.

That half-step Primal Core Realm old man had it worse. This strike knocked him to the ground, his limbs and bones all suffering a severe impact.
