See You in the Next Life

Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He never expected that the name Song Mingde would be mentioned by this honest-looking disciple before him.

After a moment of thought, Chen Yan decided to play dumb.

"What about Steward Song?"

he asked.

"Senior Brother Chen's acting is a bit clumsy, it seems."

Zhang Xishun's expression and voice remained humble and deferential.

But his eyes, from just now, had become increasingly sharp.

Chen Yan's heart sank again.

True Qi began to surge from Chen Yan's Martial Spring, and the True Qi in his meridians started to circulate.

"Is Junior Brother perhaps very familiar with Steward Song?"

Chen Yan asked.

"No, I've never met him."

"Then why..."

"Senior Brother Chen, are you very familiar with people from Qingchan Peak?"

Chen Yan didn't answer immediately.

"I'll ask you one last question, Senior Brother Chen."

The dark-skinned, honest man asked Chen Yan, but his expression seemed to be growing increasingly strange.

"Where is Song Mingde's list?"

"...I know who you are."

Chen Yan did not answer Zhang Xishun's question directly.

"Oh?"

Zhang Xishun chuckled.

The next moment, Chen Yan immediately reached out to grab Zhang Xishun's shoulder, wanting to subdue him at once.

Capture him alive!

This guy must know the inside story of the calamity that would happen in the Outer Court more than two years from now!

However, Zhang Xishun merely took half a step back and shifted his body slightly, dodging Chen Yan's attack.

"Why resort to force, Senior Brother Chen? Haven't our interactions always been pleasant?"

Zhang Xishun said:

"I just want to know where Song Mingde's list is. Or has the list already fallen into the hands of Qingchan Peak?"

He could dodge that?

This guy's true cultivation was definitely beyond the Body Tempering Realm!

"Perhaps it has already fallen into the hands of Qingchan Peak."

Chen Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xishun chuckled:

"Senior Brother Chen truly never lies."

"What do you mean?"

"If that list had already fallen into the hands of that old man Fu Qian, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you as a living person right now."

"So, you're also on that list?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Xishun shook his head.

"How about a trade? You answer my question, and I'll tell you what I know."

After a moment of consideration, Chen Yan said.

"Please speak, Senior Brother Chen."

Zhang Xishun said.

"Where is the Black Flood Dragon Monster Suppressing Stone, which is suppressed in Caiyun Tower on Qingchan Peak, now?"

Chen Yan asked.

Zhang Xishun fell silent, then he shook his head:

"Senior Brother Chen knows more than I imagined, and his questions are sharper."

"Oh?"

"But I can tell you the whereabouts of that Monster Suppressing Stone. It's hidden somewhere in the Outer Court."

Zhang Xishun said:

"It's your turn this time, Senior Brother Chen. Where is Song Mingde's list?"

"I don't know. That's all I know."

Chen Yan replied.

Zhang Xishun just stared straight at Chen Yan, who stood before him. A sense of unease and strangeness, indescribable and unsettling, emanated from his seemingly honest yet sinister demeanor.

"It seems Senior Brother Chen is telling the truth."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Then, Zhang Xishun sighed:

"Senior Brother Chen, do you know why I would tell you the whereabouts of the Monster Suppressing Stone?"

"I can guess."

Chen Yan answered.

"Clever!"

Zhang Xishun laughed, but this time, not a shred of honesty could be seen in his smile.

Only cruelty and ferocity.

In a flash, Zhang Xishun lunged towards Chen Yan, who was already prepared.

Chen Yan raised his hand, True Qi surged rapidly through his meridians, finally gathering at his fingertips.

Kongshan Finger!

A True Qi with extremely strong penetrating power shot out from Chen Yan's index and middle fingers, aimed directly at Zhang Xishun's brow.

Chen Yan watched as Zhang Xishun's head was pierced, but in the next instant, Zhang Xishun's figure suddenly disappeared.

"Martial Spring Realm?"

Zhang Xishun's voice came from behind Chen Yan, tinged with a hint of surprise.

"How can you hide your cultivation? How did you do it?"

As far as Chen Yan knew, there was no cultivation technique in this world that could hide one's cultivation, except for the Hidden Immortal Art he obtained from a Reincarnation Reward.

Chen Yan had also tried to find any literature about the Hidden Immortal Art in the library, but found nothing.

He had also pretended to casually mention to Lin Qifeng whether there were any cultivation techniques that could hide one's cultivation, but Lin Qifeng had directly denied it.

"There are only pills that can suppress one's realm in this world, no cultivation techniques that can hide one's cultivation,"

Lin Qifeng had said, casting a strange look at Chen Yan:

"Why are you asking this? You're a waste in the Body Tempering Realm. Is there any need for you to hide or suppress your cultivation?"

Chen Yan remained silent.

This meant that as long as he didn't mention the existence of the Hidden Immortal Art, no one would be able to determine his true cultivation level unless he voluntarily exposed it.

Time returned to the present.

"Senior Brother Chen, you really have quite a few interesting things about you."

Zhang Xishun said playfully.

"Is that so?"

Chen Yan replied.

The moment Zhang Xishun dodged his Kongshan Finger, Chen Yan immediately understood that he was definitely no match for Zhang Xishun.

The gap was quite large, in fact.

If there were truly no techniques in this world that could hide one's cultivation, then the only possibility was that Zhang Xishun had suppressed his true cultivation to the Body Tempering Realm by taking pills.

And now, the restriction on his cultivation was completely lifted.

"Enough, enough."

Zhang Xishun shook his head:

"It's time to go, Senior Brother Chen."

"That's right, it's time to go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan lowered his hand, stopped the circulation of True Qi in his meridians, then slowly turned around and smiled at Zhang Xishun's face.

Zhang Xishun was slightly stunned, and this time it was his turn to feel a chill down his spine.

What was going on with this guy?

Everything was under his control, he had lured him here, and he could kill him at any moment.

Why was he so calm?

Didn't he feel any unwillingness?

Or was it a trap?

"Make your move, Junior Brother Zhang,"

Chen Yan said slowly, looking directly into Zhang Xishun's eyes, his own devoid of any emotion.

"And, goodbye."

A nameless fear and unease surged within Zhang Xishun's heart.

Kill him, kill him!

Hurry up and kill him!

"Ah!"

Zhang Xishun roared, raising his right hand high, and then gently clapped it in the air.

A massive force descended from the heavens, directly crushing the Chen Yan before him into a pulp of flesh and blood.
