Chapter 202: She Established Her Foundation
“You, follow me from now on and be a lowly servant. If you displease me in any way, you will bear the consequences.”
Chen Ansheng spoke to Mu Qinglian.
“The servant understands. Thank you, young master, for your kindness.”
Mu Qinglian looked pitiful, bowing repeatedly.
Chen Ansheng knew her true nature, so he felt no sympathy. She was merely someone to be used when needed.
As for the other two men still writhing in agony, they held no value for Chen Ansheng.
Even if he didn’t kill them, they at least needed to be crippled!
“Crack! Crack!”
Chen Ansheng moved swiftly, breaking the arms and legs of the two men, and with one palm strike each, he shattered their dantians.
Both were completely crippled.
But just at that moment, a wind blade suddenly flew down from the sky, slicing toward Chen Ansheng.
“Ssss!”
The wind blade moved too quickly; Chen Ansheng could not evade it, and several meridians in his hands were severed!
At the same time, Chen Ansheng received a message in his mind—those who harm others sever their meridians as a form of punishment!
Chen Ansheng immediately realized that it was the Spirit of Control delivering divine punishment!
“You son of a!”
Chen Ansheng looked up to the sky, staring furiously at the void above.
“Fine, I’ll endure it. But let me warn you, don’t put on a show in front of me, or you’ll provoke my wrath, and I have ways to deal with you!”
His wild voice echoed into the depths of the sky until it faded away.
This act left Chen Yuling dumbfounded once again; this guy was incredibly arrogant, daring to threaten even the Spirit of Control.
“Young master, are you alright? I have some herbs here; let me help you bandage your wounds.”
Immediately, Chen Yuling took out a medicinal herb she had secretly hidden, chewed it up, and tore two pieces from her sleeves to help bandage Chen Ansheng’s wounds.
Seeing Chen Yuling’s careful and earnest actions warmed Chen Ansheng’s heart.
This girl was quite sensible and also a member of the family; she was worth his attention.
Later, Chen Ansheng returned the cultivation method to Chen Yuling. After a few exchanges, he learned that they shared the Chen surname and that he was indeed part of the family. Chen Yuling was even more delighted; finally, someone from the Chen family stood up to help her.
Chen Ansheng also learned about Chen Yuling’s background.
She was born into a family of Great Saints, but her ancestors had gone to the Forbidden Zone years ago and had not returned, rumored to have fallen there.
Because of this, the major forces had been crazily testing the limits of the Chen family over the years, pushing the family into a corner.
As the pride of the Chen family in this generation, Chen Yuling was a Xuanhuang Saint Body. As long as she broke through to the Immortal Realm in the Spirit Realm, she could inherit a Great Saint soul of the family and support the family’s future.
This was the true reason her family sent her to cultivate in the Spirit Realm.
“You actually shared such a secret with a stranger, aren’t you afraid I have ill intentions?”
Chen Ansheng laughed.
“Without you, Brother Ansheng, saving my life, I would have already died of humiliation. What else is there to withhold?” Chen Yuling replied.
“Regardless, always be cautious of others. It’s just that you’re lucky to meet someone like me; otherwise, you might have attracted disaster.” Chen Ansheng spoke in a lecturing tone.
“Mm, thank you for the guidance, Brother Ansheng. Rest assured, I will never trust outsiders easily again.” Chen Yuling nodded.
At this point, Chen Yuling suddenly remembered something.
Over the past month, due to being with Mu Qinglian and others, she had encountered some other young talents from different families.
These people often schemed to eliminate the vile man who had harmed Mu Qinglian and taken advantage of Lu Lingxi. Now it seemed that the target they spoke of was none other than Chen Ansheng, her elder brother Chen…
“Hmph, it must be that stinking Mu Qinglian who is framing Brother Ansheng; he is definitely not that kind of person.”
In Chen Yuling’s eyes, Chen Ansheng was just like a neighborly elder brother—upright and warm. How could he possibly be a scoundrel?
Just as she was about to warn Chen Ansheng about being targeted, he spoke first: “Yuling, you rest here for a moment. I’m going to teach Mu Qinglian a lesson. See you later.”
With that, Chen Ansheng got up and walked toward Mu Qinglian, who was reflecting on her misdeeds, leading her to a nearby desolate mountain.
Shortly after, Chen Yuling began to hear intermittent shouts and pitiful screams, but since she had just stepped into the path of cultivation and was far away, she couldn’t hear clearly.
“Hmph, serves her right. Brother Ansheng, teach her a good lesson!”
Two hours later, Chen Ansheng returned to the valley with a weary expression.
As for Mu Qinglian, her hair was disheveled, her clothing torn in several places, and her face was flushed, looking utterly defeated and in pain.
Chen Yuling felt greatly pleased; it seemed her rival had been taught a severe lesson by Brother Ansheng.
“Brother Ansheng, you must be tired. Come, have some water and rest a bit.”
Chen Yuling used a banana leaf to hold some sweet spring water and presented it to him.
Chen Ansheng drank it in one gulp and sighed, “After reverting to a mortal body, my strength is truly nothing like before. Just two hours of this has worn me out.”
Chen Yuling laughed, “Come on, Brother Ansheng. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t last two hours.”
Chen Ansheng was left dumbfounded, looking at Chen Yuling in surprise. “You? Are you sure you can handle it?”
Chen Yuling waved her fist, “Why not? I used to beat people up really fiercely!”
Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous. The way I dealt with her is different from what you might think. Ahem, let’s not talk about it. By the way, Yuling, do you know where the others are?”
Chen Yuling tilted her head, thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up. “I know! About seven hundred miles to the east, there’s a spiritual spring. I heard Lu Lingxi and many of her followers are cultivating there. Also, it’s said that Lu Lingxi has successfully established her foundation and has become a powerful cultivator!”
Chen Ansheng’s heart trembled!
Foundation establishment!
That’s truly impressive!
Chen Ansheng himself, even with the essence of the sun and moon, was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement!
That woman had actually succeeded in establishing her foundation; she was simply a freak of nature!
He had initially planned to confront her, but now he thought better of it. The gap in cultivation was too great; even if he had some self-realized techniques, it might not compensate for the difference in combat power.
It would be better to focus on cultivating and breaking through the foundation establishment stage first.
Not far away, Mu Qinglian, slumped and overhearing Chen Ansheng inquire about others, trembled as she approached slowly.
“Young master, that vile woman, Lu Lingxi, has completely occupied a spiritual spring. She’s exceedingly arrogant! Why not kill her and take the spring for yourself!”
“Smack!”
Hearing that, Chen Ansheng slapped her hard.
He knew Mu Qinglian’s scheming thoughts; she just wanted to use him to kill.
Not only Chen Ansheng, even Chen Yuling beside them could see through it. She glared at Mu Qinglian and said, “Brother Ansheng, this woman is very malicious. She wants you to walk into a trap!”
“Could I not know her little schemes? Just beat her up!”
“Alright.”
Chen Yuling followed the instruction and delivered blows that made Mu Qinglian wail, crying out in pain.
Meanwhile, outside the valley, several figures were lurking among the underbrush—Mu Qinglian’s clan brothers.
“You bastards! How dare you humiliate our clan sister! I’ll tear them to pieces!”
The group had actually been lying in ambush in the mountains for some time. They clearly heard everything about Chen Ansheng teaching Mu Qinglian a lesson and were furious to the point of exploding.
When had the Mu family ever faced such humiliation?
“Calm down! That guy’s methods are not weak. We need to find a way to inform Lu Lingxi and let her deal with this bastard!”
“By the way! A couple of days ago, I went to offer spiritual fruits to Lu Lingxi. She gifted me a communication jade that can transmit messages within five hundred miles!”
“That woman, Lu Lingxi, is truly a talented individual; she can even craft communication jades. Forget the rest, hurry and go two hundred miles away to transmit the message. With her character, that bastard will never escape her wrath!”
