Chapter 538: Chapter 0540: Seeing with New Eyes

While they were chatting, the giant dragon began to restlessly stir again.

It slowly raised its head, gazing towards the north, snuffling through its nostrils.

Shen Congwen became instantly alert.

"Mr. Chu, could it be that another group of people are approaching from the north?"

Chu Ge squinted his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing from their depths, and he hummed lightly, "Today really is bustling with excitement."

The people coming from the north were indeed the Veiled Man and the Scarred Man; however, they hadn’t even made it up the hill when they were intercepted by someone who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who are you!" Scarred Man looked at the person who had descended from the sky, clad in flowing white garments, as the cold wind whistled, lifting the edges of his robe like that of an Immortal from beyond the heavens.

The newcomer was Jian Chunqiu. His cool gaze fell upon them, and he clicked his tongue, "I am an Immortal, just passing by. I noticed a dark cloud over your brows and a fierce light in your eyes, a bad omen, unlucky. Therefore, I’ve taken the liberty to stop and advise you not to proceed up the mountain."

Scarred Man was already somewhat faint-hearted about these ghostly matters, and hearing this, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. However, with several of his underlings behind him, he had to steel himself not to lose face in front of them, so he said gruffly, "Stop spouting nonsense about gods and ghosts! Clear the way now! Otherwise, we won’t be polite!"

Jian Chunqiu let out a light sigh, hands behind his back, shaking his head regretfully, "Young man, so quick to anger; you must have poor liver and kidney function. At such a young age, you really must—"

Before Jian Chunqiu could finish, he was interrupted by the Veiled Man, "Old man! We don’t have time to listen to your rambling, move aside promptly! Otherwise, we really won’t be polite!"

Jian Chunqiu had not even the intention to move against them, as they were merely common folk, not true Ancient Martial Artists. If he were to act, it would clearly be bullying.

But these people were after Chu Ge, and compared to another group sent by the Tang Sect, he was more willing to help Chu Ge deal with these ordinary people without expending any effort.

"What if I don’t move aside?"

"Not move aside? Humph! Truly ignorant of what’s good for you! Brothers, get your weapons ready!" Scarred Man barked, and the people standing behind him each drew a knife, glaring all the more dazzlingly against the snow.

Jian Chunqiu feigned surprise, "Oh, are we using knives then?"

"Humph! If you know what’s good for you, clear the path now!" Scarred Man spat, disbelieving that an old man would dare to intercept them.

Jian Chunqiu sighed again, "Since you’re so insistent, then come at me as you please."

Jian Chunqiu stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over each one of them. Before Scarred Man and Veiled Man realized what was happening, the weapons in their hands melted like they had been dissolved by something, turning into powder and scattering with the wind.

Scarred Man, shocked, looked down at his hands, holding only knife handles, and swallowed his fear. Casting a stealthy glance at the Veiled Man, he found him similarly stunned in place.

"Are... are you an Ancient Martial Artist?" It took a while for Veiled Man to find his voice. They knew Ancient Martial Artists were highly skilled but had no idea they were this formidable.

They were at a significant loss in this deal!

"Boss, what should we do now?" Scarred Man asked quietly, "We can’t risk our lives for that bit of money!"

Veiled Man was of the same mind, and the time for saving face had already passed. He cleared his throat and said to Jian Chunqiu, "Old man! We’ll let you off this time! Let’s go!"

Jian Chunqiu watched them run away faster than rabbits, and shook his head with a chuckle.

Thinking they can cause a disturbance like this, truly overestimating themselves.

Jian Chunqiu turned around, lifting his eyes to the thick fog enveloping the mountain. While the fog did not reveal anything to others, he could see through it.

This is considered a medium-level formation within the All Spirits Return to One, Chu Ge really spared no expense in dealing with Shen Congwen.

Jian Chunqiu reined in his thoughts and began walking up the mountain.

Judging by the time, they should have dealt with the people from Tang Sect by now.

At the same time, Tang You, leading a group, arrived at the mountaintop and came face to face with Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian.

"Well, if it isn’t our old friend." Chu Ge with his hands in his pockets, looked at them indifferently.

Seeing Chu Ge reminded Tang You of the humiliating moment in front of Tang Xin, intensifying his hatred for Chu Ge, he glared viciously at Chu Ge, "Hmph, Chu Ge, you want to seek opportunities in Su City without even asking for our opinion!"

Chu Ge glanced at him dismissively, not taking his words to heart at all.

On the other hand, Huo Tianqian gave a slight chuckle, disdainfully saying, "Ask for your opinion? Who do you think you are? Why should we ask for your opinion?"

Tang You gnashed his back teeth together. He glared at Huo Tianqian furiously, he couldn’t beat Chu Ge, but could he also not beat Huo Tianqian?

"Huo Tianqian, has your arm fully healed?"

Huo Tianqian’s pupils suddenly narrowed. Although the person who crippled his arm was not Tang You, he had taken up this hatred as one between him and Tang Sect.

Tang You was from Tang Sect, and now he had poked where it hurt, how could he possibly swallow this down?

"Tang You! If you’re brave enough let’s have a duel!"

Huo Tianqian shouted loudly.

Tang You coldly retorted, "I was thinking the same."

He had already split the people he brought into two groups, one had gone around to scout the base, while he led a few men to stall Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian.

Now that Huo Tianqian was openly challenging him, he naturally looked forward to testing his mettle against him.

Huo Tianqian stretched his muscles, the gene within him itching to dominate was starting to cause unrest.

"Tang You, today I’m going to beat you until you’re searching the ground for your teeth!"

With a loud shout, Huo Tianqian charged straight at Tang You.

Tang You was taken aback by the sudden increase in Huo Tianqian’s speed.

Although he had never directly clashed with Huo Tianqian, he had some understanding of Huo Tianqian’s martial prowess. He was just a Postnatal Martial Artist who had only recently stepped into the path of ancient martial arts; his control over it was not so adept, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had his arm dislocated by them.

Yet today, if not for that unforgettable face, Tang You might even doubt that this was the same Huo Tianqian!

Tang You skillfully dodged Huo Tianqian’s first fierce strike, "Huo Tianqian, you’ve greatly improved in just a few days."

Huo Tianqian snorted, "I will certainly open your eyes! I’ll make you remember this moment!"

Huo Tianqian focused his energy into his palm and with the speed of lightning, he flew towards Tang You. In that moment, Huo Tianqian made a feint, confusing Tang You.

Caught off guard, Tang You took a solid blow from Huo Tianqian...
