Ouyang Zhengchu stammered, "Senior... Senior..."
Su Chen nodded. "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Zhengchu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, pleading, "Please... please let me go!"
Su Chen calmly asked, "The reason?"
Ouyang Zhengchu's expression instantly hardened.
reason?
He has absolutely no reason whatsoever!
At that moment, Su Chen's voice suddenly rang in Ouyang Zhengchu's mind, "I can let you go, but if my disciple goes to the Upper Immortal Realm in the future, you want to target them, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhengchu was taken aback, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to Lin Fan and Jianxin.
Is he targeting his own disciple to the death?
Holy crap!
Is this disciple a blood relative?
Having just arrived in the Upper Immortal Realm, they already want me, a Immortal Lord, to deal with them?
ruthless!
That's ruthless!
"Um?"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "What? Is there a problem?"
Ouyang Zhengchu trembled and quickly shook his head, transmitting his voice, "No problem! No problem! Please rest assured, senior. If your two disciples come to the Upper Immortal Realm, I guarantee I will target them to the death!"
Hearing Ouyang Zhengchu's assurance, Su Chen smiled. "Not bad, a promising young man."
Ouyang Zhengchu: "..."
I think I'm older than you. Is it appropriate for you to say that?
He grumbled to himself, but he dared not say it aloud.
Who can blame them for being so awesome?
At that moment, he felt incredibly frustrated.
This is so frustrating!
A dignified Immortal Lord has fallen to such a state!
That's fucking frustrating!
At the same time, Lin Fan and Jianxin felt a bad premonition for some reason.
Jianxin said solemnly, "Senior brother, I have a bad feeling."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice, "I have the same premonition."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Lin Fan remained silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "I don't know either."
Jianxin frowned but remained silent.
At this moment, the invisible, terrifying force pressing down on Ouyang Zhengchu and Xia Jiuyou suddenly disappeared.
Xia Jiuyou was momentarily stunned.
Ouyang Zhengchu slowly stood up, then bowed respectfully to Su Chen and said, "Thank you, Senior!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Jiuyou and scolded, "Insolence! Aren't you going to thank your senior for sparing your life?"
Xia Jiuyou was stunned, but he reacted quickly, clasping his hands in thanks and saying, "Thank you, senior!"
Su Chen shook his head, said nothing, but waved his hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Seeing that Xia Jiuyou was still standing there motionless, Ouyang Zhengchu immediately roared, "Get out of here!"
"Ah?"
Xia Jiuyou was startled.
Ouyang Zhengchu continued, "Return to the Holy Land!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Xia Jiuyou nodded quickly, then turned and disappeared.
Ouyang Zhengchu looked at Su Chen with a disappointed expression, then turned to him and smiled, "Thank you."
After he finished speaking, his body began to dissipate. Before his body completely disappeared, he gave Lin Fan and Jianxin a meaningful look.
Upon seeing this, everyone frowned, their eyes filled with doubt.
They were puzzled as to why Su Chen would let Ouyang Zhengchu and Xia Jiuyou leave. In their minds, Su Chen was a decisive and ruthless person; why would he let these two go?
Lin Fan looked at the spot where Ouyang Zhengchu had disappeared and said bitterly, "I should know why we had this bad feeling."
Jianxin quickly asked, "Why?"
Lin Fan said with a bitter face, "When we go to the Upper Immortal Realm, we're afraid we'll have a lot of trouble ahead of us."
Jianxin, "Senior brother, what exactly happened? Don't keep me in suspense!"
"Sigh~"
Lin Fan sighed, and then recounted how he had been targeted in the past.
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Jianxin's heart pounded. He seemed to understand why he had that bad feeling.
He swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "You... you mean, the reason Master let those two go was because Master made a deal with them, and the deal was that when we go to the Upper Immortal Realm, they would target us?"
Lin Fan said seriously, "It's not about letting them target us, it's about letting them target us to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Jianxin said incredulously, "We haven't even reached the True Immortal Realm yet. If we go to the Upper Immortal Realm, we'll only be at the True Immortal Realm. If those two target us, do you think we'll survive?"
Lin Fan gave a wry smile, then shook his head and comforted him, "It's alright, Master won't let us die. If he wanted us to die, I probably wouldn't be alive today. He just wants us to gain some experience, so don't panic, stay calm!"
As he spoke, he secretly circulated his immortal Immortal Qi to evaporate the cold sweat on his back.
Although he said that, he was still very panicked inside. Su Chen would not let them die, but the targeting was relentless. He had almost kicked the bucket several times.
Su Chen Su Chen would only appear when someone was truly unable to hold on any longer; otherwise, he wouldn't bother with them at all!
Even after listening to Lin Fan's words of comfort, Jianxin was still very flustered. He tried to calm down, but he couldn't, which was very strange.
Lin Fan said, "Alright, stop overthinking. Just let things take their course."
Jianxin was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay! I understand!"
Lin Fan smiled, but deep in his eyes, there was worry and helplessness.
Sometimes he even doubted whether he was Su Chen's disciple.
Other masters love their disciples like their own sons, but Su Chen seems to wish his disciple would just die.
What kind of master treats their disciple like this?
That's inhuman!
At this moment, Su Chen looked at Lin Fan and the other person, and calmly said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Lin Fan and Jianxin quickly followed.
Watching Su Chen's departing figure, Gu Xun'er felt empty inside, and even found it hard to breathe.
She reached out, wanting to call out to Su Chen, but in the end, she lowered her hand without saying anything.
At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being pierced by needles.
It's truly painful to love someone but not be able to be with them.
Gu He and Jiang Ying, standing to the side, looked at Gu Xun'er and both sighed inwardly.
They wanted to offer comfort, but didn't know how.
After a long while, Gu Xun'er regained her composure, turned to look at Gu He and Jiang Ying, and a smile appeared on her face. However, this smile was heartbreaking.
Jiang Ying reached out and stroked Gu Xun'er's cheek, her heart aching as she said, " Xun'er..."
Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "Alright, Mother, I'm fine. Let's go back."
Jiang Ying looked distressed, then nodded, "Okay."
Gu He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your grandfather said that after this matter is over, he wants you to go to the Upper Immortal Realm to find him. Are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er frowned slightly. "Did Grandpa tell Father the reason?"
Gu He shook his head and said, "No."
Gu Xun'er remained silent for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
If I go to the Upper Immortal Realm, will I have a chance to meet him again?
Thinking about it, she immediately became excited and said, "Dad, I'll go!"
