Chapter 1569 I Just Won't Let Go
“Uh…”
Chen Xuan understood. It was because his cultivation speed was too rapid that others had rushed over.
He was not an unreasonable person. He said, “My fellow brothers, I apologize. I will stop cultivating now and leave the Fourth Zone.”
Just now, he had sensed that the energy in the Fourth Zone was almost depleted, its sparsity comparable to the Ninth Zone. It was time for him to find a new location.
With that, he stood up and turned to leave.
But at that moment, Gu Yongqiang’s pupils constricted, his eyes shooting out cold glints. “Did I say you could leave?!”
Huh, this phrase sounded familiar.
Chen Xuan stopped, turned back to look at Gu Yongqiang, and asked with a frown, “Is there anything else?”
“Hand over the treasures you have!”
Su Yongqiang said coldly.
“Treasures? What treasures?”
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Where would he have any treasures?
“You can’t fool me. Don’t think I don’t know. If you can absorb so much energy, you must have treasures on you.”
As soon as Gu Yongqiang said this, the others’ eyes lit up.
They all felt that Gu Yongqiang was right. Chen Xuan could draw so much energy; he definitely had peerless treasures on him.
If they could seize those treasures, they could also rapidly absorb energy. What fear would they have of their cultivation realms not improving?
“You say I have treasures on me. Search me yourself.”
Chen Xuan shrugged and spread his arms.
He had figured out what was going on, but Chen Xuan was not afraid, as he truly had no treasures on him.
“I’ll search!” Gu Feng said proactively.
Seeing no reaction from the crowd, Gu Feng stepped forward to search Chen Xuan. He rummaged through Chen Xuan’s belongings, even searching his Qiankun Bag, but found nothing.
Although Qiankun Bags were valuable, the Gu family members did not place much importance on them. This made Chen Xuan quite envious. The people from the Upper Three Sects were truly wealthy.
“Can I leave now?” Chen Xuan asked.
Gu Yongqiang and the others’ faces were grim. He had a sudden idea. “Wait!”
Following that, Gu Yongqiang glanced at Gu Liang in the distance and said, “Gu Liang, come here.”
Gu Liang had no intention of getting involved, but seeing Gu Yongqiang calling him, he had no choice but to walk over.
“Gu Liang, I know you can sense energy. Can you tell where his treasures are hidden?” Gu Yongqiang asked Gu Liang earnestly.
Gu Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“Where?” Gu Yongqiang asked eagerly.
Gu Liang sized up Chen Xuan from head to toe. After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed to Chen Xuan’s lower abdomen. “There…”
Chen Xuan was stunned.
He was extremely surprised that this kid actually knew about the anomaly in his Dantian.
“That’s the Dantian…”
Gu Yongqiang was taken aback. He stared directly at Chen Xuan, excited. “Good kid, you actually hid that treasure in your Dantian. Hurry up and excavate your Dantian for me… or I’ll kill you right now!”
“Go to hell! Why don’t you excavate your own Dantian?”
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and cursed.
If his Dantian were excavated, even with the World Tree protecting him, he would still be crippled.
“Still dare to talk back to me? You’re asking for a beating! Brothers, capture him! I will personally excavate his Dantian!”
Gu Yongqiang shouted coldly.
As soon as he said this, the surrounding Gu family disciples instantly lunged at Chen Xuan.
The Gu family disciples in the Fourth Zone were considered geniuses among them. Not only was their strength astonishing, but their attacks were also precise and fierce. It was a pity that their brilliance was insufficient.
Facing the attacks of these few Gu family disciples, Chen Xuan handled them with ease, weaving through the crowd.
Several minutes passed, and Chen Xuan had already taken down several disciples. However, these disciples could do nothing to him; they hadn’t even touched his clothes.
The more these disciples fought, the more shocked they became, and they began to doubt themselves: Was it that they were too weak?
“Get out of the way! Leave it to me!”
Gu Yongqiang also noticed the situation and immediately shouted coldly.
*Whoosh!*
The Gu family disciples rapidly retreated a few steps and quickly moved behind Chen Xuan, taking up defensive positions.
Not only did they clear space for Gu Yongqiang’s attack, but they also cut off Chen Xuan’s retreat, forcing Chen Xuan to confront Gu Yongqiang head-on. What awaited Chen Xuan was their combined assault!
“Cang Hai Zhang!”
A palm strike was delivered through the air.
The momentum was like a surging tide, and internal energy churned like roaring ocean waves.
“It’s Cang Hai Zhang! That’s Gu Yongqiang’s ultimate move from his lineage. I didn’t expect Gu Yongqiang to have learned it!”
“This kid is finished!”
Seeing Gu Yongqiang’s palm strike, the Gu family disciples were full of excitement.
The disheveled Daoist priest who was cultivating in the distance opened his eyes and saw this scene. “He’s truly asking for trouble!”
Chen Xuan’s aura was like a rainbow. He also raised a palm to meet the attack.
It was a direct confrontation, without any fancy moves.
“Kid, you’re dead.”
Seeing Chen Xuan’s intention to go head-to-head, Gu Yongqiang became even more excited, his eyes shooting out light.
But—
*Boom—*
The two palms slammed into each other fiercely, emitting a deafening roar.
The surge of energy rushed out in all directions like a tide.
The immense force sent Gu Yongqiang flying like a kite with a broken string, landing in the spiritual pool dozens of meters away.
Chen Xuan, however, was completely unharmed. He flashed and rushed over.
At that moment, Gu Yongqiang had just emerged from the spiritual pool when Chen Xuan grabbed him by the neck, holding him like a drowned chicken.
“How can this be?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They never expected Gu Yongqiang to be defeated so thoroughly.
“Kid, let go of me quickly! You’re just a subordinate. How dare you treat me like this? I’ll make you pay!”
Gu Yongqiang was enraged and humiliated.
Being bullied by a subordinate like this made him extremely displeased.
“I just won’t let go.”
Chen Xuan slapped Gu Yongqiang on the head.
“You… you bastard!”
Gu Yongqiang said coldly, “You’re finished. If I get out, I will definitely find Gu Lingyun. You’re finished, kid!”
“What if you can’t get out?”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Gu Yongqiang instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly turned his head, just in time to meet Chen Xuan’s chilling gaze.
This gaze was truly terrifying.
It was like a primeval beast, as if it wanted to devour him.
This gaze was filled with killing intent, making him have no doubt that Chen Xuan would kill him right here.
His mind was relatively stable. “You… you wouldn’t dare. This is the spiritual pool… this is the Gu family. If you dare to touch me, you’ll be finished.”
Chen Xuan: “You’re smart, but you’d better not cause me trouble.”
He released his grip, threw Gu Yongqiang away, and said coldly, “Get lost, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Everyone looked at Gu Yongqiang. Gu Yongqiang gritted his teeth. “Retreat!”
Then, Gu Yongqiang led everyone away.
Chen Xuan rubbed his limbs and stretched his muscles. He said faintly, “Disheveled Daoist priest, we should go!”
From a distance, the disheveled Daoist priest leaped up and slowly landed in front of Chen Xuan. “Where are we going?”
“Let’s go to the First Zone!”
“To the First Zone? Alright, alright. Hey, hey, I haven’t absorbed enough energy here yet.”
Chen Xuan said, “The energy in the Fourth Zone is no longer useful to me.”
“You’re going to break through?”
The disheveled Daoist priest was suddenly stunned.
“More or less.”
After speaking, Chen Xuan turned and walked towards the First Zone.
