Chapter 214 - 214 207 Way Ziyi

214: Chapter 207 Way Ziyi 214: Chapter 207 Way Ziyi Every so often, they would come across some unknown flowers and herbs, and at times, poisonous snakes, spotted scorpions, yellow toads, and other rare poisonous substances from the Secular World.

Under the moonlight, Su Chen’s pace did not slow down; on the contrary, it quickened even more.

While walking, Su Chen did not relax at all.

He remained vigilant, observing his surroundings, and simultaneously, he practiced his martial arts cultivation.

He worked very hard.

Having been almost killed by that round-hatted elder from the Fong Family, Su Chen had been severely injured, but within his recovery, his strength improved.

Especially since he had deeply experienced and felt the aura and techniques of the round-hatted elder, it was a rare gain for him.

At this moment, Su Chen had already recovered from his injuries, and his strength had progressed.

He was just a hair’s breadth away from the Mysterious Qi Internal Strength Realm—a window paper away, so to speak.

In an opportune coincidence, it would be broken through.

His actual combat power was far beyond that of an ordinary Mysterious Qi Grandmaster at the Peak Phase, although there was still a significant gap compared to Wenren Zhaixing and the round-hatted elder.

Suddenly.

While walking, Su Chen stopped!!!

Ahead.

There were people.

More than one person.

An entire group of people.

About twenty or thirty.

Their strengths were generally not strong, mostly at the Peak of Mysterious Qi Training, Half-Step Profound Qi Internal Strength Realm, and Early Mysterious Qi Internal Strength Realm.

It seemed these people were guarding a woman.

Su Chen hid in the darkness, not releasing a trace of Qi, blending into the darkness.

He casually glanced at the woman, but his expression turned strange.

Is it her?

Ziyi Way?

Su Chen recognized this young woman, around twenty years old, dressed in purple, holding a purple bamboo sword.

In his previous life, he had fought with Ziyi Way, and her sword had left a deep impression on him.

In this life, he did not expect to meet Ziyi Way so soon.

And now, Su Chen could tell that Ziyi Way was still in the Mysterious Qi Training Realm, with weak strength.

Compared to the Ziyi Way from his previous life, who was obsessed with her sword and had astonishing sword skills, the difference was like heaven and earth.

“I should establish a good karma.

It would be great if I could trick Ziyi Way into joining me!” Su Chen thought it over and decided to act on his desire.

Ziyi Way’s sword was very strong!!!

This woman had boundless potential as a future powerhouse.

If he had not met her, it would be one thing, but having met her, he should at least establish a good karma, if not whisk her away.

Moreover, it wouldn’t delay his time as Ziyi Way and her group were heading in the same direction he was, toward Jiaolong Lake.

A decision had been made.

Su Chen no longer deliberately hid his figure.

Instantly.

He was discovered.

The first to spot him was an old woman beside Ziyi Way.

She was over a hundred years old, leaning on a walking stick, dressed in a linen long robe, her face wrinkled and waxen.

“Elder Yun, what’s wrong?” seeing the old woman suddenly stop, Ziyi Way also halted and curiously asked, her face as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, yet imbued with a naive purity.

“Someone’s here!” The old woman, called Elder Yun, turned her head and looked toward their left rear, “Come out!!!”

Following Elder Yun’s shout.

The twenty or thirty martial cultivators guarding Ziyi Way all raised their weapons, their expressions alert as they stared into the darkness behind them.

“I mean no harm, it’s just a coincidence!” Su Chen walked out from the darkness.

Elder Yun stared intently at Su Chen, seeing that he was at the Half-Step Profound Qi Inner Strength Realm, and she breathed a sigh of relief internally.

As she was at an Early Grand Master stage, she was certain she needn’t worry about this young man posing any threat to Miss Ziyi Way.

“Since it’s a coincidence, please leave!” Elder Yun said indifferently.

“This…

To be honest, I got separated from my family’s main forces, and walking here alone in the mysterious forest of Taixuan Mountain late at night is very dangerous.

Life or death cannot be guaranteed.

Now that I’ve encountered you…” Su Chen said with a wry smile.

“That has nothing to do with us!” Elder Yun uncharitably said, “If you don’t leave, I will personally see you off!”

“This…” Su Chen obviously couldn’t just leave now, appearing hesitant.

Elder Yun’s aura was already swirling: “Do you really want to die?!”

“Elder Yun, please don’t act hastily!” At a critical moment, Ziyi Way spoke up to stop her, “He’s alone, he poses no threat to us.”

“But, Miss, the lady from home has been keeping a close eye on Miss…

This young man who suddenly appeared might well have been sent by the lady!” Elder Yun frowned.

“Even if he really was, he’s just at the Half-Step Profound Qi Inner Strength Realm.

With Elder Yun here, there won’t be any problems!” Ziyi Way softly said.

Ziyi Way, still naive and unworldly, was just an innocent young girl with a kind heart.

Elder Yun was silent for a moment, and finally, she nodded, “All right then, everything as Miss decides!”

After speaking, Elder Yun suddenly lifted her head, her eyes blazing with sharp light.

She made no effort to conceal the Grand Master aura that surged towards Su Chen.

Elder Yun spoke sternly, “Young man, my miss is kind-hearted and can’t bear to send you away, but, you best not make any small moves or harbor any thoughts.

Otherwise, if discovered, I will promptly execute you!”

“Yes, yes, yes…” Su Chen quickly nodded, thoroughly playing his part.

Following the consent of Elder Yun and Ziyi Way, Su Chen quickly stepped forward.

“My name is Su Chen, thank you, Miss, for your hospitality!” Su Chen said politely while secretly observing Ziyi Way, such an uncut gem she was!!!

Seemingly having no trace of Sword Qi at all, which meant, she hadn’t started learning the sword just yet.

An uncut gem among uncut gems.

“Just call me Ziyi!” Way Ziyi was graceful and calm, much softer and quieter than the murderous demon she had been in her past life.

The contrast was staggering.

Su Chen found himself much preferring this version of her, who indeed made him feel at ease.

“Miss, let’s continue on our journey, time waits for no one!” Elder Yun spoke up.

“Yes!” Way Ziyi’s expression also turned serious as she nodded.

The group moved on.

Clearly, Way Ziyi must have encountered some urgency that made her rush even through the night.

However, Su Chen did not ask any questions.

He followed behind Way Ziyi and Elder Yun, keeping up with the group’s brisk pace.

Elder Yun clearly did not trust him, keeping an eye on him at all times, but Su Chen didn’t mind and just quietly continued his cultivation.

Time rushed by.

It was already the early hours of the morning.

Suddenly.

Way Ziyi stopped, “Elder Yun, let’s eat something and rest a bit!

Everyone must be exhausted!”

Elder Yun grunted in agreement, then loudly instructed the guards, “Stop here, light a fire, some of you go catch a wild pig or a carving wolf…”

Before long.

Two wild pigs were cleaned and placed on two fires, roasting with a crackling sound as their fat occasionally dripped into the flames, sizzling and spreading a delicious aroma around.

Under the firelight, the guards chatted softly, looking quite relaxed.

Meanwhile, Elder Yun stayed close to Way Ziyi, watching over her safety.

Su Chen kept a distance of three to four meters from Way Ziyi and Elder Yun, not making any effort to get closer.

Soon.

The two wild pigs were ready.

The guards first cut two golden, fragrant pig legs and handed them to Way Ziyi and Elder Yun.

The rest, the guards divided amongst themselves, pairing it with jugs of wine, eating enjoyably and shining with grease.

As for Su Chen, he was completely ignored.

For the guards, allowing Su Chen, an outsider, to follow them was already a favor.

Furthermore, along the way, Su Chen had been very quiet, hardly speaking, and not forming any good relationships with them, so they naturally had no interest in passing him any wild pig meat.

However.

“Young Master Su, here!” Way Ziyi was indeed kind-hearted.

Seeing Su Chen’s awkward situation, she hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over to him, cutting off a chunk of pig leg meat for herself and handing the larger portion to Su Chen.

“Thank you!” Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart, “What a good girl!” He did not hesitate to accept the fragrant pig leg.

Elder Yun watched coldly but said nothing.

Half an hour later, “We’ve eaten and rested, let’s move on!” Elder Yun spoke up again.

The group got up, pushing on through the dark night in the dense forest.

Time continued to pass.

The next day.

The sky was deeply bright.

The forest was just starting to lighten…

Suddenly.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

A crisp sound suddenly erupted in everyone’s ears.

Elder Yun was the first to shield Way Ziyi, while the remaining guards gripped their weapons tighter, their eyes blazing.

Soon.

Several figures appeared in front of them.

First and most noticeable was a young man around twenty-three or twenty-four, dressed in white, with a longsword hanging at his waist, his features sharp and handsome.

Incredibly, he was sitting on a tiger.

This tiger, at least three times larger than a normal one and entirely black, looked majestic and ferocious.

With every breath, an oppressive force spread around.

That ‘thump, thump, thump…’ sound must have been the footsteps of this tiger.

Besides the young man on the black tiger, there were three or four other men of about the same age beside him.

“Sister Ziyi, I finally found you!” The next second, the young man on the black tiger fixed his gaze on Way Ziyi, his voice thrilled and excited, his eyes unabashedly adoring.

“Young Master He?” Way Ziyi’s response held a hint of uncertainty.

“Hahaha…

I knew Sister Ziyi couldn’t have forgotten me!” the young man joyfully exclaimed.

“Way Zhong’s grandson?” Elder Yun slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of pleasure flashing in their depths.

“You must be Elder Yun?” Young Master He said respectfully, then dismounted from the large black tiger.

“Miss, Young Master He heard you were returning to the Way family and got so excited he couldn’t sleep for several nights.

So here we are, rushing to meet you!”

“Miss, Young Master He’s affection for you is truly enviable!”

……

The three young men beside Young Master He all spoke up, singing his praises.

“Thank you!” Way Ziyi voiced her thanks, but a hint of discomfort and sadness betrayed her true feelings.
