Chapter 1066: Celestial Dao Five Stars
Chen Tianlong sat on the bed, removed his clothes and trousers, then wrapped himself in an air conditioning blanket and began to activate the Heart Method.
This time was different from before; previously, he absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from outside, but this time he was digesting the powerful Qi from within his Dantian, which was evidently more painful.
In no time, Chen Tianlong was drenched in sweat, and the burning sensation in his body made him extremely uncomfortable.
The powerful Qi rampaged within his body, and if it weren’t for Chen Tianlong’s good control, he almost succumbed to demonic possession. Ye Feng naturally thought of this, but since he was about to die, he had no better solution and could only leave it to Chen Tianlong’s fate.
Just like being consumed by flames, Chen Tianlong thought of his Master, his heart filled with immense pain, and the burning on his body compounded the agony. Remembering the past scenes felt like a dream.
If he had never left the Assassin Group, never entered this complicated world and caused so much trouble, perhaps his Master wouldn’t have suffered such a fate, and life would have been different.
But Chen Tianlong was mistaken; fate is not the kind of thing that if you don’t do this, it won’t find you—it merely comes in a different form.
About half an hour later, when Chen Tianlong was on the brink of collapse, suddenly there was a loud bang, and the entire air conditioning blanket around him shattered into pieces. The power this time was evidently very strong.
Indeed, Chen Tianlong was now at a high-level upgrade, directly breaking through to Celestial Dao five stars.
Advancing two levels consecutively at such a level is very remarkable. Chen Tianlong was clearly very excited; his strength had improved, which was the happiest thing.
However, this happiness was exchanged for his Master’s death, and his brief joy quickly dimmed.
Wu Guangzu saw Chen Tianlong turned sad after being happy for a brief moment, hurried over to comfort him: "Actually, Master knew he couldn’t make it for some time, but held on, waiting for your appearance. He loved you the most, all of us in the Assassin Group could see that, so before he passed, he really wanted to see you."
"Now that his wish is fulfilled, he can be at peace in death. You shouldn’t be too sad; the only thing we need to do now is to find a way to eliminate those killers who murdered our brothers. Of course, we don’t have the capability yet, but we can work hard." Wu Guangzu explained.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and nodded; fortunately, the Assassin Group still had such a good brother around, or else he wouldn’t even know how to rebuild the Assassin Group.
"Brother, what is your current strength?" Chen Tianlong suddenly asked, wanting to empower Wu Guangzu and then rebuild the Assassin Group together with him.
"Tunnel five stars."
Wu Guangzu smiled wryly; his strength was not even enough to carry shoes for the sect leaders of those sects.
"It’s okay; I’ll figure out how to make you break through to Celestial Dao; we’ll both participate in the Celestial Pill Sect trial. As long as we complete the task, we might obtain a Super Qi Gathering Pill, and you could directly break through to Celestial Dao three or four stars." Chen Tianlong thought about it and said.
"Really? Can I really break through to Celestial Dao?" Wu Guangzu had never thought that one day he could break through to Celestial Dao, especially to such a high level like Celestial Dao three stars.
"Yes, you can. So these days, stay at the hotel; since those people know you’ve escaped, they’ll definitely look for you. Originally, I wanted you to stay at my villa, but I’m afraid it’ll cause trouble later, especially with many friends there..."
"Xiaowu, I understand, I won’t drag everyone down, don’t worry. I’ll keep changing hotels so they won’t find me." Wu Guangzu agreed.
Chen Tianlong nodded; in the following time, the two spent their days at the hotel, and when dawn came, they took their Master to the crematorium, exchanged a jar of ashes, and Chen Tianlong took the ashes to the mountaintop of Lotus Village, since this was the place his father jumped off the cliff. Although the Master said the father was still alive, that was just a guess.
After completing all this, Chen Tianlong returned to the villa.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Wushuang called Chen Tianlong; since leaving that night, Chen Tianlong hadn’t contacted her, which worried her greatly, especially now that Lin Wushuang was Chen Tianlong’s legitimate girlfriend.
"Wushuang, I’m at the villa; you don’t need to worry." Chen Tianlong said.
"Oh, well then, Xiaoyu and I will come by to visit you later." Lin Wushuang was starting to miss Chen Tianlong; now she truly realized what it means to love someone deeply.
At this moment, she thought of Wu Mengting.
Wu Mengting loved Chen Tianlong so much; it must be very painful for her. However, she had promised Wu Mengting never to mention her, which tormented Lin Wushuang a bit.
"Anyway, I’ll just be kinder to Chen Tianlong and make him feel happy." Lin Wushuang persuaded herself.
"But...I don’t feel like going out; I’m afraid..."
"Has something happened to Chen Tianlong?" Lin Wushuang was taken aback, sensing something was amiss; it was rare to hear Chen Tianlong sound so grief-stricken, and quickly said: "Alright, Xiaoyu and I will drive over soon, wait for me."
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly; it’s just the way the young lady is, once she gets close to you, she becomes especially passionate, and Chen Tianlong couldn’t refuse this enthusiasm.
About half an hour later, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu arrived at the entrance of Chen Tianlong’s villa, saw him in the hall, with Liu Ting and Shen Yan also sitting inside.
Shen Yan was somewhat conflicted; the Third Elder had told her the truth, saying Chen Tianlong already knew about her true identity and wanted her to take action tonight.
But Shen Yan could never kill Chen Tianlong; yet it was an order, and if she didn’t kill him, she would die.
Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu sat on the sofa, concerned, and asked: "Chen Tianlong, has something happened? Can you tell us?"
Chen Tianlong nodded, while Liu Ting was also sad; their Master had died, and she didn’t even get to see him one last time, feeling truly ungrateful.
"My Master Ye Feng has passed away."
"Ah?"
Lin Wushuang froze, and Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes widened, the formerly lively and adorable face instantly became somewhat sorrowful. It was evident these young ladies had kind hearts.
"Chen Tianlong, the dead cannot be revived; my condolences." Shen Yan spoke up at this moment, but she was apprehensive inside, wondering if Chen Tianlong would hate her if he knew she was the Third Elder’s subordinate.
Chen Tianlong nodded, and Liu Ting was already crying, even though Chen Tianlong had told her upon his return. Hearing it again now, she couldn’t help but shed tears.
"Liu Ting, don’t cry. The Master is gone, but we are a family; I’ll take care of you for a lifetime." Chen Tianlong’s simple words held a different kind of emotion in the ears of the women present.
