Zhong Xiang was furious! Extremely furious!
To think he was an absolute prodigy of the younger generation, with the potential to ascend to the Twelfth Tier as a Supreme Divine Being in the future. Although he was currently only at the fourth tier of cultivation, he would never back down even in the face of seventh- or eighth-tier cultivators.
He had suppressed countless prodigies and defeated numerous strong figures of the older generation. Renowned and prestigious, he was praised by Mr. Da as the Southern Qilin, basking in countless glories. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? To not even have a chance to fight and just be overturned like this!
Especially seeing his own guards scurrying around like headless flies, allowing that damned brat to carry him off under everyone’s noses, the frustration in his heart was indescribable.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
Zhong Xiang cursed furiously in his heart.
Zhang Chen couldn’t be bothered with those guards running around like headless flies and carried Zhong Xiang to the hideout where Chen Xu was. At this moment, Chen Xu was still unconscious.
Like discarding trash, Zhang Chen nonchalantly threw Zhong Xiang to the ground, raising billows of dust.
Zhang Chen took the Body-Stabilizing Rune and the Invisibility Rune from Zhong Xiang, but the Sealing Rune still suppressed his powers. After all, they still had to travel in the mountains, and he couldn’t just carry Zhong Xiang the whole way, could he?
At this moment, Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang with a sly smile: "Young master, we meet again, don’t we?"
"You commoner, how dare you lay hands on me? Do you know who I am? If I escape, I will have your entire family executed, leaving no one alive." Zhong Xiang glared at Zhang Chen, realizing he regained his mobility, quickly jumped up, and tried to summon his superpower against Zhang Chen. Unfortunately, he couldn’t muster his divine techniques.
Fortunately, Zhong Xiang also practiced Martial Dao, and his martial dao cultivation was not bad. He immediately took a step forward, throwing a punch at Zhang Chen.
Facing Zhong Xiang’s punch, Zhang Chen smiled, and the next moment, pulled out a knife from his waist: "To be honest, if I were you, I’d obediently submit as a prisoner."
No matter how strong your martial arts, there’s always fear of a butcher’s knife. When Zhong Xiang saw the big knife Zhang Chen pulled out, he instantly cowered, pulled back his punch, and stood still, glaring at Zhang Chen with eyes full of anger: "Boy, do you know who I am?"
"I don’t need to know who you are. I just need to know that you are currently just a prisoner." Zhang Chen smilingly said, "I advise you to be obedient and not do anything you shouldn’t."
Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen’s big knife and then felt the power sealed within his body, his face twisting, yelling, "If you’re so capable, kill me then. If you can’t kill me, I’ll have your whole family wiped out sooner or later."
"Oh wow, you dare threaten me? You really don’t fear the heavens, do you?" Zhang Chen laughed, flicking the knife at Zhong Xiang’s face, startling him into retreating repeatedly.
Though he had the Undying Body, he absolutely didn’t want to be slashed; the pain was unbearable.
Seeing the flustered Zhong Xiang, Zhang Chen lost interest in him and turned to remove Chen Xu’s Invisibility Rune, splashing cold water on him to wake him up.
"Young master, where are we?" Chen Xu, just opened his eyes to see Zhang Chen’s smiling face and immediately sat up with a start.
"We’ll need your help locating the dragon veins and finding the entrance to the main tomb chamber within three days. The spiritual Feng Shui of that great tomb is leaking, and experts from all sides are likely already on their way, so you must quickly find the entrance to the main chamber," Zhang Chen said to Chen Xu.
"Finding the main tomb chamber entrance would take at least ten days half a month," Chen Xu dared not lie or boast, the memory of being buried alive was still vivid and scared him.
Hearing Chen Xu’s words, Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow: "Do your best, sir."
Chen Xu rubbed his grumbling stomach, then caught sight of Zhong Xiang standing with a gloomy face nearby, and immediately a look of horror flitted through his eyes: "Young master, Zhong Xiang is here! We must run!"
Seeing Zhong Xiang, Chen Xu thought Zhong Xiang had caught up to them, and like a startled bird, he jumped up to run.
"No need to run, this Young Master Zhong Xiang has been captivated by my charm, and wishes to follow us for a while. We’re a team now and will need to cooperate," Zhang Chen said with a grin.
While speaking, Zhang Chen turned to Zhong Xiang: "Young Master Zhong, isn’t that right?"
Zhong Xiang’s face darkened, his voice turning icy, with killing intent brewing in his eyes: "You’ll regret this! When a strong figure from the Zhong Family gets here, it will be your death day."
Chen Xu stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the tense Zhong Xiang and the delighted Zhang Chen, and, being smart, immediately understood what had happened.
His heart couldn’t help but shudder, then he said to Zhang Chen, "Young master, you’ve captured the Southern Qilin? How did you manage that?"
He thought he had already held Zhang Chen in high regard, yet he still underestimated him.
That was the renowned Southern Qilin!
He was a man of the martial world, and Feng Shui practitioners were almost part of the Abnormal Realm, how could he not have heard of the Southern Qilin?
"Despicable lowlife! Shameless ambush!"
Hearing Chen Xu’s mention of ’capture’, seemed to have hit a nerve in Zhong Xiang, his face turned grim as he cursed.
"What’s ’despicable’? There’s no shame in being despicable. It’s you who is shameful, being a prisoner for others to butcher at will." Zhang Chen confidently retorted.
