Chapter 232: Chapter 220: Li Changsheng, Life or Death, In Your Thought [2-in-1]_2
Chen Zhixing looked at the bowl of noodle soup in front of him and indeed saw not a hint of green.
In an instant.
"I won!!"
The woman in the sable cap expressed immense joy, her face filled with excitement as she looked at Chen Zhixing.
Chen Zhixing was slightly taken aback but smiled as well.
"That’s right, you won."
Bang!!
Suddenly!
Chen Zhixing flicked his fingers, and the innkeeper who had previously cursed him and the Ziwei Chen Family to a horrible fate suddenly had his head explode, blood splattering all over the woman in the sable cap!
"But I don’t like beef either!"
Chen Zhixing’s narrow eyes narrowed further as he chuckled softly.
"Ah!!!"
In an instant, the woman in the sable cap froze, then could no longer contain the terror within her heart and screamed in fright.
However, the drunken guests, who had their senses distorted by Chen Zhixing’s Divine Thought, remained oblivious, seemingly unaware of anything.
Chen Zhixing looked at the beautiful, horrified face and trembling body of the woman in the sable cap, and his original idea of sending her along the same road shifted slightly.
Since the Sikong family had issued a mandatory death order against him, why not give the Sikong family a gift in return?
"Want to survive?"
"Come, turn around, with your back to me, and lie down on the table."
Chen Zhixing spoke plainly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
The woman in the sable cap shivered at his words, already terrified out of her wits; she shakily laid down on the table in front of Chen Zhixing.
Chen Zhixing dipped his finger into the thick blood on the table beside him and wrote a word on the smooth, firm back of the woman in the sable cap.
"Go on, deliver this word to the Commander of the Sikong family in Xiongxi City."
As his words fell.
Chen Zhixing exchanged a glance and a smile with Shanyang and Dugu Ni, slightly nodding, and silently vanished from within the inn.
Meanwhile, the woman in the sable cap dared not move a muscle until the whispers of the diners beside her reached her ears.
Only then did she realize that Chen Zhixing and the other two had disappeared long ago.
The next moment.
The woman in the sable cap hurriedly ran towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Within the City Lord’s Mansion, a voice roared in extreme fury.
"Chen Zhixing!! If my Sikong family does not destroy you, we swear not to be human!!!"
The entire Xiongxi City was immediately in an uproar, a wave of shock.
Compared to the chaos of Xiongxi Town,
the figures of Chen Zhixing and his companions were already hundreds of miles away.
Shanyang couldn’t help but turn his head and curiously asked, "Third Young Master, what word did you write on that Sikong family’s woman?"
Chen Zhixing smiled and uttered a word:
"Moist."
...
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed like the flick of a finger.
For Chen Zhixing, the incident in Xiongxi City was nothing more than an insignificant interlude.
Regarding the innkeeper, who had long been severely brainwashed by the Sikong family and wished to devour him alive, Chen Zhixing naturally showed no mercy.
The Sikong family had evidently become relentless in their pursuit of him.
Thus, the followers and wings of the Sikong family, he would kill each one he could.
If the Sikong family went to Yanzhou and faced the supporters of the Ziwei Chen Family, the Sikong family’s methods would only be more ruthless.
As such, Chen Zhixing felt no psychological burden.
Two days later.
A grand city built by the mountain appeared in front of Chen Zhixing.
From a distance, Chen Zhixing saw the ancient mottled city gate with three large characters: Celestial Gate City.
Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity passing through his eyes.
Compared to the threat of the Sikong family.
Chen Zhixing was more concerned about Li Changsheng, the ancestor of the Li Family, one of the nine Celestial Chosen Protagonists!
This person was not only a true Nirvana Powerhouse, far beyond what Lei Huatian could compare, but also relied on the Method of More Children, More Blessings, through which his descendants acquired countless Divine Bodies and cultivation method and divine techniques!
This was his true formidable enemy!
The danger level far exceeded Meng Hedong!
"Come, Li Changsheng."
Chen Zhixing pulled down the brim of his hat and strode into Celestial Gate City.
...
...
An hour later.
Celestial Gate City, Mud Bottle Lane.
Inside a small yard with a bamboo fence.
Chen Zhixing lay on a bamboo chair, the glow of the sunset illuminating his face, making his elegant and charming features gleam with a thin golden sheen.
A woman of extreme beauty, with enchanting fox-like eyes yet appearing pitifully delicate, stood behind Chen Zhixing, her long, white, slender hands gently massaging his shoulders.
"Young Master, Qingji has entered the Li Mansion, but Li Changsheng is of a calm nature. Although he accepted Qingji, he is not indulged in her, as if he purely wants to use Qingji as a tool for offspring."
"Qingji cannot truly get close to him."
Chen Chou’er whispered from the side.
Chen Zhixing nodded and calmly said:
"Li Changsheng has been training in the Ten Thousand Realms of Mortal Dust for hundreds of years and is now one of the Nirvana Realm Great Powers. If he could be easily bewitched by beauty, that would be the real issue."
Dugu Ni, observing from the side, glanced at Qingji and frowned, saying:
"Qingqiu Fox Demon?"
"Young Master, Qingqiu Fox Demons are naturally skilled in the art of charm, extremely cunning, and their appearance often heralds chaos in the world, considered to be top-notch disastrous beauties. According to ancient records, Qingqiu Fox Demons represent calamity and disaster, with numerous powerful beings from ancient times destroyed because of them."
"The Young Master should still keep a distance."
As soon as these words fell.
Qingji immediately glared with her beautiful eyes and said, "You old cur, how can you slander me just based on my origins?"
Dugu Ni said indifferently, "I’m talking to the Young Master, why are you interrupting?"
"Can’t I rebut your slanderous accusations against me?"
Qingji became annoyed and indignant.
As the two were about to argue.
"Enough."
Chen Zhixing waved his hand with a smile and said, "Outside, she’s a disastrous beauty that devastates the living, but now that she’s joined our Chen Family, let’s set aside prejudices. She’s a kind-hearted and understanding good sister."
Upon hearing this.
Qingji immediately smiled, her eyes forming crescent moons, and stuck out her tongue, saying: "The Young Master is wise and reasonable, unlike this harsh and boring old cur."
While speaking, Qingji peeled a grape and gently fed it into Chen Zhixing’s mouth.
Dugu Ni opened his mouth, trying to speak several times, but finally, he could only smile wryly.
Forget it, it seems his own reputation outside isn’t much better than that of the Qingqiu Fox Demon.
It’s just.....
The people around the Young Master are either demons, thief saints, fox demons, or engaging in crooked ways.
Not a single proper person among them!
Even Shanyang, who seems the most simple-hearted, is now labeled outside as someone who betrays his masters and ancestors, inherently rebellious!
Dugu Ni couldn’t help but sigh softly.
"Young Master, in the time I’ve interacted with Li Changsheng, although there isn’t much information gathered, it’s not entirely without gain either."
Qingji seemed to have thought of something and said with slight seriousness.
"Oh? Let’s hear it," Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow.
Qingji pondered and said: "Although Li Changsheng has pledged allegiance to the Sikong family and agreed to work for them, his character is not bad, and joining the Sikong family was out of necessity. He seems to bear no ill will towards the Young Master."
"Young Master, in my opinion, it might be worth finding an opportunity to test Li Changsheng’s attitude."
"Is that so?"
Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
At this moment.
Several communication talismans hanging at Chen Zhixing’s waist simultaneously glowed brightly.
Chen Zhixing picked up the communication talismans and looked at them.
"Elder Nether leading the Dark Division, along with Tuoba Peak Master, are all heading to Huai State?"
Chen Zhixing set down the communication talismans, then looked up at the glow of the sunset.
He seemed to be pondering something, his fingers gently tapping the armrest of the bamboo chair.
The next moment.
"Shanyang, at midnight tonight, use an alias to spread the word externally that my traces have been found outside Celestial Gate City!" Chen Zhixing calmly ordered.
"Yes!" Shanyang’s eyes flashed, and he bowed heavily.
Then Chen Zhixing’s gaze shifted slightly, looking towards the direction of the Li Mansion in the distant city.
He extended his hand, as if the glow of the sunset was too glaring, shading across his brow, muttering to himself:
"Li Changsheng, today your destiny, whether life or death."
"Lies in a single thought of yours."
