"Do you really think you can stop me?" He gently set Lin Yue down, his figure flickering before vanishing into the night like a flash of lightning.
The enemy, Night, remained silent, but his dagger lunged toward Chu Sheng's throat with the venomous precision of a striking snake, cold and ruthless. Chu Sheng sidestepped just in time, delivering a powerful punch to Night's chest, the force of it roaring like thunder. Yet, Night's form twisted and dissipated into a cloud of black mist, an eerie spectacle.
"Be careful!" Lin Yue suddenly cried out, her voice laced with fear.
Chu Sheng spun around sharply, only to see Night had appeared behind Lin Yue like a ghost, the dagger pressed against her neck, glinting ominously. "Don't move, or she dies!" Night's voice was hoarse and deep, reminiscent of an Evil Spirit from the depths of hell.
Chu Sheng's gaze turned icy, a palpable killing intent radiating from him. The Merit Book in his mind trembled:
[Good Deed Detected: Repelling Evil Forces, Protecting the Innocent]
[Mission Reward: Merit Points ×500]
With his Rapid Ability fully activated, Chu Sheng's figure vanished from sight as if he had merged with the air. Night scanned the surroundings warily but found that Chu Sheng's presence had completely disappeared, a flicker of unease creeping into his heart. Just then, a hand shot out from the void like an iron claw, gripping his wrist with such force that it felt as though it might snap.
"Bang!" With a dull thud, Night was hurled away, crashing hard against a large tree with a pained groan. As he struggled to rise, Chu Sheng was already upon him, planting a foot firmly on his chest to keep him pinned down.
"Speak! What does Heishan sect want?" Chu Sheng activated his Zhen Yan Ability, his tone cold and unyielding.
Night struggled briefly but found himself unable to resist the power of the Ability. Against his will, he began to speak: "We plan to use the Heavenly Fate Bloodline on the night of the full moon to unlock the seal of the Evil God..."
Before he could finish, a sudden surge of powerful energy swept in from afar like an avalanche crashing down. Chu Sheng felt a jolt of alarm; this presence was several times stronger than that of a Shura, bringing with it an inexplicable pressure.
"Someone is coming!" Lin Yue's face turned pale as she clutched tightly at Chu Sheng's sleeve.
Chu Sheng made a swift decision, striking out to knock the darkness unconscious before scooping up Lin Yue and preparing to leave. But it was too late; over a dozen figures appeared like phantoms, surrounding them completely, each exuding a powerful aura and a palpable killing intent.
"Impressive skills, my friend," a gentle voice rang out, as soothing as a spring breeze but carrying an undeniable authority. An elderly man with white hair stepped forward from the crowd, his youthful appearance contrasting sharply with the formidable aura he radiated, akin to a dormant volcano.
Chu Sheng recognized the identity of the man—an Elder of the Tian Yun Sect! This was someone who frequently appeared on television programs.
He immediately became alert; the sudden appearance of such a powerful figure was no coincidence.
"No need to be tense," the elder said with a smile that was warm and approachable yet hinted at depths that were hard to fathom. "We are here to help you. This young lady has awakened the Heavenly Fate Bloodline within her, and according to our customs, it is my duty to protect her as a member of the Tian Yun Sect."
At that moment, an enraged roar echoed from afar: "Chase them down! Don’t let them escape!" The voice was filled with resentment and fury, reminiscent of an injured beast.
The elder frowned slightly. "The people from Heishan sect truly are relentless, buzzing around like flies." With a wave of his hand, several disciples of the Tian Yun Sect dispersed to stand guard around them like loyal sentinels.
Chu Sheng's mind raced with thoughts. The Tian Yun Sect was indeed a solid ally, but he understood better than anyone that there were no eternal friends—only eternal interests. The immediate priority was to protect Lin Yue; everything else could be dealt with later.
A loud crash resounded as Shura and a large group of black-clad men charged in with overwhelming force, surging toward them like a tidal wave. Upon seeing the members of the Tian Yun Sect, Shura's expression darkened, as if he had just swallowed something foul.
"Shura, how dare you lay hands on my Tian Yun Sect members?" the elder said coldly, his tone laced with irritation.
Shura gritted his teeth. "This is our Heishan sect's business; I ask that Tian Yun Sect refrain from interfering." His tone was firm but tinged with apprehension.
"What nonsense!" The elder snorted disdainfully, like thunder cracking in the sky. "Those awakened with the Heavenly Fate Bloodline have been under my Tian Yun Sect's protection since ancient times. Do you Heishan sect wish to make enemies of us?"
Xiu Luo's expression fluctuated between dark and light, his heart in turmoil. He knew very well that with the current strength of Heishan sect, they were not yet capable of contending with the Tian Yun Sect; a direct confrontation would only lead to their own destruction.
"Fine, this time I will give the Tian Yun Sect some face." Xiu Luo glared fiercely at Chu Sheng, his eyes filled with resentment. "You wait for me, kid! We'll see how this plays out!" With that, he turned around with his subordinates, leaving in a dejected manner like a defeated dog.
The old man then turned to Chu Sheng. "Young friend, why not accompany me to the Tian Yun Sect? It would be my pleasure to extend some hospitality."
Chu Sheng glanced at Lin Yue, who gave a slight nod, and he replied, "Alright."
......
They arrived at an ancient and elegant manor, adorned with pavilions and towers, intricately carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an air of mystery as if it were a fairyland. The old man led them to a reception room, elegantly decorated and filled with a fragrant aroma.
"You possess remarkable strength, young friend. Would you be willing to join my Tian Yun Sect?" The old man spoke directly, his tone sincere without a hint of insincerity.
Chu Sheng had been prepared for this. "It would be my honor to join the Tian Yun Sect."
The old man revealed a satisfied smile. "Excellent! From today onward, you are a member of my Tian Yun Sect. I will arrange for someone to guide you in your cultivation and help you achieve great things as soon as possible."
On the surface, Chu Sheng appeared respectful, but internally he was calculating. The Tian Yun Sect was powerful and could serve as an ally against Heishan sect while helping him uncover the truth behind his family's annihilation. As for the Tian Yun Sect itself, he needed to remain cautious; after all, one could never fully understand another's heart.
At that moment, Lin Yue suddenly swayed as a powerful energy erupted from within her like an unstoppable volcanic eruption. Chu Sheng quickly supported her but felt a chilling wave of power that stirred unease within him.
The old man's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The Heavenly Fate Bloodline has finally fully awakened!"
