Give It a Try, Just in Case

"Stop!"

Just as the longsword was about to pierce through, a low shout suddenly rang in their ears.

The next moment, a force suddenly surged forth, directly throwing the two of them to the ground.

What happened?

"What kind of illusion array did you create?!"

They were suddenly thrown into the air and landed in a daze.

He immediately looked around and soon saw another old man standing where he had just been.

Clearly, it was this person who made the move just now.

At that moment, the old man's gaze swept in this direction.

The two men froze for a moment, then quickly plastered their faces with awkward smiles.

Annoyed as I was, the aura of the person in front of me was indeed quite strong.

If the other party is in cahoots with this kid, given their actions just now, wouldn't they be doomed here?

Fortunately, the old man did nothing more. He simply looked away, took out a pill, and put it into the mouth of the boy on the ground.

"Shall we go?"

After a moment, one person turned to look at the other, trying hard to wink and blink.

The other person understood immediately, glanced at the old man, and nodded.

The two were about to turn around.

Just then, the old man suddenly looked up and glanced at them again.

Brush.

The two stopped simultaneously, both showing signs of tension.

The reason was simple: this time, the old man's brow was furrowed!

They weren't sure if it was because they were leaving.

But they still didn't dare to try again for the time being.

This person's temper seems rather unpredictable.

At this moment, Chen Mingxuan had already withdrawn his gaze.

However, his brows were still slightly furrowed.

Just now, after he fed Luo Zhen the medicine, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Once this feeling appeared, it seemed to gradually grow stronger.

It was even stronger than the unpleasant feeling I had before.

Chen Mingxuan glanced at Luo Zhen, who was still unconscious:

"Could this kid possibly harm me?"

This person is ultimately just a junior, and I have reached this point through my own efforts over the years. In terms of the power of this Lone Star, I should be the one who has grown more.

Is it possible for the weak to defeat the strong? For Lone Star, such a thing is possible.

As Chen Mingxuan was thinking, Luo Zhen's fingers on the ground suddenly trembled, and then his body shuddered slightly.

He didn't open his eyes immediately, but his nostrils twitched noticeably several times, as if he was trying to identify the smell.

A moment later, Luo Zhen's body relaxed, and his eyelids opened.

Their eyes met, and Luo Zhen's face immediately lit up with joy:

"Senior!"

As she spoke, she tried to get up.

Chen Mingxuan took a step back, waved his hand at Luo Zhen, and said:

"Don't do that."

Luo Zhen was taken aback upon hearing this, and looking at Chen Mingxuan, an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind:

"Could it be that the senior is afraid I will affect him?"

Upon having this thought, Luo Zhen instinctively wanted to deny it.

It wasn't for Chen Mingxuan's sake, but rather because it felt unlikely.

I am ultimately just a junior. Even if I have the fate that Chen Mingxuan spoke of, Chen Mingxuan himself is ultimately just like me.

Furthermore, given his current injuries, it seemed he couldn't withstand the influence of the opponent's Lone Star.

"But,"

Luo Zhen stopped his thoughts and looked behind Chen Mingxuan at the now calm void. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind:

What if?

If even Lone Star can counteract each other, is it really possible that I am only weaker than Chen Mingxuan?

Chen Mingxuan told him those things and saved him more than once, so there's no doubt that he's done him a favor.

But Chen Mingxuan himself was also Lone Star, and should have known that if he had shown kindness, he would be overcome by the Lone Star.

Chen Mingxuan still did it, which likely means he didn't care.

In that case, carelessness could be your own opportunity.

Give it a try. If it doesn't work, so be it. If it does, then it'll be a completely different story!

"Don't think about anything."

Chen Mingxuan's voice rang out, pulling Luo Zhen back to reality.

Before Luo Zhen could say anything, Chen Mingxuan said:

"Where exactly are the Five Symbols Sect and Hidden Origin Peak that you mentioned earlier located?"

"The Five Symbols Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen immediately spoke up:

"It is in..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to point.

But Luo Zhen stopped speaking just as he raised his hand.

I have absolutely no idea where I am or where the Five Symbols Sect is located.

"Which region does this Land of the Four Directions belong to? Or is it independent?" Chen Mingxuan then asked.

To which jurisdiction?

Luo Zhen immediately looked troubled.

This is something I really don't know the answer to.

The Five Symbols Sect was ultimately just an insignificant part of my life. Now that I've come this far, who would bother with such trivial matters?

Seeing that Luo Zhen couldn't even answer this, Chen Mingxuan's eyes immediately showed a hint of suspicion. Looking at Luo Zhen, he pressed for an answer:

"Have you been living in this Misty Clear Realm all along?"

Luo Zhen shook his head:

"It shouldn't be. This place is quite different from where I've been before. However, I'm not entirely sure how I got here."

After speaking, Luo Zhen paused, then added:

"I only remember that I was fleeing for my life with others, and unfortunately encountered spatial turbulence during teleportation. When I woke up again, it was when I met you, senior."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingxuan frowned slightly again.

I thought I'd get something useful right away, but I didn't know anything when I asked.

Encountering spatial turbulence during teleportation is such a rare event that, if he didn't know this kid was also destined to be Lone Star, he might even have suspected it was fabricated.

The spatial turbulence itself increased the uncertainty, not to mention that he hadn't just picked up Luo Zhen by chance.

"Looks like we still need to go back to the place where we found this kid and ask him."

Chen Mingxuan thought back for a moment.

Unless the other party also happens to find Luo Zhen, there is still hope of drawing some conclusions.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mingxuan looked at Luo Zhen and said:

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

With that, he waved his hand, about to sweep Luo Zhen up.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from afar:

"You're leaving so soon after I arrived? Don't be in such a hurry."

The sound grew closer as it approached, and by the time the last word was uttered, it sounded much closer than it had at the beginning.

"Who!"

Chen Mingxuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his thoughts poured out instantly, enveloping a thousand miles around him.

At the same time, the two who had previously hesitated to leave were now suddenly alerted and, instead of relying on tacit understanding, began to communicate telepathically:

"Great opportunity, should we seize it?"

These words didn't sound like they were meant to be anything good, and the old man's strong reaction meant he must have felt threatened.

Under such circumstances, there would be no time to attend to these two insignificant individuals.

"We have to leave, otherwise if a fight breaks out, we'll definitely be in trouble!"
