Chapter 606: Chapter 222: Talent is Worthless in the Face of Strength! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)_2

In the following days, Chen Chen felt lost and confused. Whenever he thought of Pei Linyu’s heroic sacrifice, his heart was filled with turmoil.

He even wished he could die with him, but unfortunately, he couldn’t die now, because he was the only one left from the Seeking Truth Lineage in the Immortal City.

Before Pei Linyu’s action, he informed Chen Chen about the upcoming reinforcements. So now, it was Chen Chen’s responsibility to connect with them when they arrived.

Pei Linyu and the others couldn’t die in vain. Chen Chen had to make the Daoist friends in the reinforcements understand what had happened. Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t die, at least not before meeting the reinforcements.

So, despite his grief, he had to keep on living. Thankfully, the Zhou family didn’t bother him nor tried to drive him away, which he considered a significant improvement in their relationship.

After all, he was from the Seeking Truth Lineage. If he appeared in front of the City Lord Mansion now, it would undoubtedly mean a dead end.

So, their current relationship with the Zhou family was already remarkable. He was waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements, which was the only way for the Immortal City to have a chance in this current opportunity.

He actually wanted to meet with Liang Sheng because he knew Pei Linyu very well. It would be impossible for him to have two spirit tools on him.

So, judging by the situation that day, it was undoubtedly Liang Sheng who had given Pei Linyu the two spirit tools he possessed.

Under these circumstances, Chen Chen had mixed feelings about Liang Sheng. What was his attitude towards the Seeking Truth Lineage?

If he was friendly, why did he reject them from a thousand miles away?

On the other hand, if he didn’t want any relationship, why did he help Brother Pei?

At this moment, Liang Sheng appeared like a layer of fog to him. He couldn’t see through him at all, but at least he could be sure that he should be a friend rather than an enemy.

What exactly was he thinking?

Chen Chen, who couldn’t figure it out, could only hide in the Zhou family and silently wait for the reinforcements.

He cannot die now!

…

Liang Sheng’s Mansion.

In these days, the Immortal City seemed peaceful on the surface, but there were hidden undercurrents. The storm from that night was still secretly brewing.

At this moment, there was a long queue in front of Liang Sheng’s mansion. There were many cultivators who had prepared materials for spirit tools, and they were eager to get one for themselves.

Though there was a risk, a 20% success rate was already rare. They were willing to take the gamble for the spirit tools.

However, Liang Sheng’s method remained the same as before. He’d only accept materials from ten people, then close the main gate without paying attention to the cultivators outside.

But this time it was different from the last. After learning the results, many cultivators still sent people to wait outside.

After all, Liang Sheng’s efficiency in refining tools was quite high. It might only take a few months to complete the tasks, and he might leave the closed-door practice in no time. They didn’t want to miss the opportunity again.

Thus, they were willing to keep waiting. As for Liang Sheng, he didn’t care about the situation outside as long as no one was noisy. He wouldn’t reveal himself before the reinforcements from the Seeking Truth Lineage arrived.

However, he didn’t bury his head in refining tools all the time. Instead, he tried to sense the movements in the City Lord Mansion, but unfortunately, there was no movement from Feng Yuan and his companion.

And as for the Seeking Truth Lineage, there was no need to care as long as Chen Chen didn’t make any moves. Under this situation, the most relaxed person was the Zi Zai independent cultivator.

He had been calm during this period, and Liang Sheng enjoyed drinking wine with him during the refining breaks, which was extremely comfortable.

The Zi Zai independent cultivator had already understood the nature of his disciple. Though it seemed as if he didn’t care about anything, he must have already made some plans in his heart. He just didn’t ask.

As long as nobody tried to kill his only disciple, he wouldn’t care even if Liang Sheng made a hole in the sky and caused chaos.

He just wanted to watch the show from the sidelines. His principle was simple: nobody could harm his only disciple.

So Liang Sheng would occasionally go into his room, and regardless of whether he was refining tools or not, the Zi Zai independent cultivator would just let him be.

He even wished that Liang Sheng would be more carefree and release all the constraints he had received over the years.

Free Gate disciples should be free!

This was the only downside of the initial stage of practicing the Free Method in the Complete Heaven Freedom Sect. To be truly free, all negative emotions had to be released.

There’s a saying in the mortal world: If someone wants to be open-minded, they have to use a lifetime to heal their past humiliations. The same was true for the disciples of the Free Gate.

Back when the Zi Zai independent cultivator was at the initial stage of practicing the Free Method, his actions were even more extreme compared to Liang Sheng’s.

At this point, Liang Sheng’s plans were far better than his at the time, and to him, it seemed like just child’s play.

Not to mention other things, there was now an endless abyss in the west of the Xihe Immortal Dynasty that was unintentionally created by his master in order to protect him back then.

Even now, the Xihe Immortal Dynasty that had suffered a secret loss still held its breath and pretended nothing had happened.

And this was the confidence of the Free Gate.

This level of strength was also the foundation for them letting their disciples do as they please. He even thought that his disciple was still too cautious.

After all, it was just a matter of the junior disciples of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty. In the Era of Great Contention, there was no need to think too much; just do it. As a disciple of the Free Gate, why bother thinking so much?

But since Liang Sheng came up with this plan, he could only stand beside him and play the role of a protector. He looked in the direction of the Capital City Soul Song and couldn’t help shaking his head.

Why hadn’t anyone from the East Victory Immortal Dynasty arrived yet? He didn’t even have to think about it to know that those Refining Void cultivators were hesitating, wondering whether they should come in person or not.
