Chapter 339: Chapter 191: The Sage

Because Saints rarely make a big move, it was normal for Ji Wangquan not to have witnessed the great might of a Saint, but Chen Kuang had seen it.

And he had seen it a full four times.

At this moment, there was a Saint with a mind connected to him right by his side.

Chen Kuang understood that the reason Ji Chengtian dared to directly threaten him with his family as soon as Lv Zhexiong became a Saint was precisely because he knew the great abilities of a Saint.

Ji Chengtian’s true goal was not to immediately force him to submit but to create a dilemma for him.

No matter how strong Lv Zhexiong was, she was still just one person.

But Ji Chengtian had many more cards up his sleeve.

Liang Kingdom and the Pinggu Battlefield were thousands of miles apart, beyond Chen Kuang’s reach. Even a Saint would have to exert all their strength to arrive in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, if Chen Kuang wanted to ensure the safety of the Chen Family during this period, he had to let Lv Zhexiong stay in Liang Kingdom temporarily; otherwise, no one could predict what variables might emerge at this moment.

Now that the Mystic God Daoist Sect and the Martial Saint Pavilion were at war and unable to spare any effort, it was too easy for the Three Tribulations Sect to fish in troubled waters.

Ji Chengtian wanted to make Chen Kuang choose between letting Lv Zhexiong protect himself and protecting the Chen Family.

Since he could find the Chen Family, he must have long known what Chen Kuang had done in Jishao County and understood Chen Kuang’s character.

Protecting himself was something he would surely not do, and it could potentially damage his Dao Heart.

Protecting the Chen Family meant putting himself in the most dangerous situation once again...

Ji Chengtian was convinced that Chen Kuang would choose the latter.

In the past, even when there was a chance to end his precarious life, he still chose to put himself in danger for some people and some matters.

This time would naturally be no exception.

And Chen Kuang’s response was very simple, which was just the four words "each depends on their own ability"!

The reason he engaged in a lengthy conversation with Zhou Yanwei and Ji Wangquan just now was solely to buy enough time for Lv Zhexiong to reach the Chen Family.

Since Lv Zhexiong achieved sainthood with "obsessive dedication," as the one who responded to this dedication, Chen Kuang naturally acquired a unique Divine Power, which was to communicate heart-to-heart with Lv Zhexiong, allowing them to convey their thoughts and sense each other’s state.

Chen Kuang used the time just now during the trivial talk to multitask, sending Lv Zhexiong to the Chen Family.

Of course, the only thing Lv Zhexiong truly cared about was Chen Kuang’s life.

But she also understood that Chen Kuang could never abandon his family; otherwise, he would not be Chen Kuang but a cold-hearted stranger.

He seemed ruthless on the surface but was actually the easiest to soften.

Chen Kuang coaxed her into meeting his parents... Even with a Saint’s mindset, Lv Zhexiong was momentarily shy, but ultimately agreed.

However, in reality, Lv Zhexiong vaguely sensed that a Saint had already emerged from the Sea of Rebirth.

This Saint could only be Donghuang, who had supposedly died in Liang Kingdom long ago!

If Chen Kuang was to escape, this Donghuang was a hurdle that absolutely could not be bypassed.

Lv Zhexiong’s trip was also to block Donghuang for Chen Kuang.

Moreover, Chen Kuang had already informed Lv Zhexiong about Huo Hengxuan’s original plan, knowing that the Mystic God Daoist Sect and the Martial Saint Pavilion would clash; now only the Pure Land could protect Chen Kuang.

Furthermore, Chen Kuang’s entire cultivation technique always needed a legitimate origin; otherwise, he would offend the Pure Land in the future.

Lv Zhexiong weighed the pros and cons before making a decision, but the heart-to-heart communication between the two took only a few moments.

And at this moment, Lv Zhexiong had already arrived at the place.

Ji Wangquan’s pupils instantly contracted; she understood the scene when the illusion dissipated.

Inside the Communication Talisman in Chen Kuang’s hand and within the darkness of the Chen Residence, a Daoist Nun figure slowly emerged.

She didn’t even need to wave her hand; with just a thought, most of the Death Warriors fell instantly dead.

Zhou Yanwei was drenched in cold sweat, unable to move.

The remaining Death Warriors, despite self-destructing, attempted to rush forward; Lv Zhexiong flicked her duster, displaying ethereal grace, and those Death Warriors instantly fell, their bodies and souls merging into death.

Thus, the Chen Family was saved.

Ji Wangquan had lost her leverage, but at the same time, it was the best opportunity!

She immediately shouted sternly:

"The Emperor has ordered to capture Chen Kuang, dead or alive! Let the patrons act!"

The ones sent to the Chen Residence were Death Warriors, but it was the patrons who were lying in ambush for Chen Kuang.

They should have been hidden a thousand miles away using a Secret Technique, ready to spring into action as soon as Lv Zhexiong left.

In each of the four directions, someone stepped out slowly; they were all around the Peak of Grandmaster!

Adding to the Grandmaster representing the Great Zhou behind Ji Wangquan, Ji Chengtian had deployed five Grandmasters... This likely wasn’t the end.

If they couldn’t keep Chen Kuang, the next ones to appear might well be in the Profound Profound Realm.

Besides the Supreme Elder of the Three Tribulations Sect in the Peak of Profound Profound Realm, there were also two from the Great Zhou serving the Imperial Palace.

It was uncertain whether they would appear today.

Chen Kuang’s gaze was cold as he swept around, speaking grimly:

"Ji Chengtian truly holds me in high regard."

Ji Wangquan dared not be careless, retreating swiftly: "The battle at Dongting Lake, where you defeated three Grandmasters and offered their heads as tribute to the Dragon King, is now world-famous as per Canglang’s review. Who would dare to underestimate you?!"

Five Grandmasters besiege.

In Chen Kuang’s mind, it was almost as if thunder was raging; this was the "premonition" warning him, but since his spirit was too exhausted, his perception was no longer clear.

Fortunately, due to the many passive skills he had developed, he had already found a way to restore his soul.

[Soul Inversion: The more people think about you, the deeper their obsession, the stronger your soul’s intensity, and the faster your recovery speed.]

This was a very simple passive, seemingly encouraging him to open up a large harem and become a succubus, but actually, the passive didn’t specify whether the person thinking of him wished him well or aimed for his death...

Thus, drawing hatred was naturally feasible, and this was something Chen Kuang was an expert in.

At this moment, he didn’t need to do anything, and there were instantly five people with him completely in their minds.

And with enough enemies, it also empowered "Invincible to Gods," "Extreme Counter-kill," and other passives.

Chen Kuang took a deep breath and turned to run.

The five Grandmasters transformed into streams of light, immediately surging forward.

Two of the Grandmasters exchanged glances, splitting up to encircle him.

But soon, they encountered an unexpected obstacle—

"If you want to harm Chen Kuang, you’ll have to pass through this old man first!"

It was unexpectedly Ling Yazi who stood out, blocking one of the Grandmasters!

The remaining Grandmasters from other sects also expressed their stance.

"Since we’re relying on our skills, count me in!"

"Haha, I’ll join in the fun too!"

"Good to stretch the muscles and bones."

"Amitabha Buddha, heaven cherishes life. Could the Princess spare them a path to life?"

How could it be... Ji Wangquan’s breath caught; she never expected that the Grandmasters appointed by various sects, responsible for maintaining stability, would choose to oppose the Great Zhou at this moment.

She loudly declared, "Our Great Zhou Army is fighting on the front line..."

Xu Datong interrupted her, spitting heavily:

"The Northern Plains battle lines, Ji Chengtian dares retreat three miles but not three hundred; if the war turns unfavorable and the Night Barbarians invade, he’ll be troubled himself! It must be a bluff against us!"

Tang Qiusheng and others, upon witnessing this scene, were first startled, then they smiled and stepped forward to aid Chen Kuang.

However, one of the Grandmasters from the Zhou Kingdom, using the Godly Movement technique, reached Chen Kuang in the blink of an eye, turned sharply, and struck directly at his front.

Chen Kuang couldn’t evade, but suddenly saw a Thousand Paper Crane fly to his side, astonishingly fast.

An elderly voice suddenly sounded:

"Chen Kuang, you previously promised me a poem, does that still hold?"

Chen Kuang’s eyes lit up.

It was the Scholar from Freedom Mountain!
