Chapter 1033 No Malice
Just as Old Man Zhang’s mind was in turmoil, the ancient martial artist’s punch directly shook off Zhang Old Man’s arm.
“Still daring to get distracted! Truly seeking death!”
The ancient martial artist intended to capture Old Man Zhang first. Even if he couldn’t get information about the Confucian treasure, he could occupy the space Old Man Zhang had outside.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhang felt helpless.
Was he destined to die with a bad reputation?
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Old Man Zhang.
Chen Yang said helplessly, “It’s best not to kill anyone in this place. If it attracts hordes of monsters, we won’t be able to leave!”
The ancient martial artist frowned immediately at Chen Yang’s sudden appearance.
But in the next second, the ancient martial artist turned and ran.
The speed was astonishing.
Chen Yang had expected that the two would at least exchange blows before the other person was driven away.
He never expected that the other party would leave as soon as he appeared. Did they recognize him?
But even if they recognized him, there was no need to be so afraid, right?
Although Chen Yang was puzzled, he didn’t say much. Instead, he turned to look at the injured Old Man Zhang and said, “Have we met somewhere before?”
In fact, the moment Chen Yang appeared, Old Man Zhang had recognized him.
That day, Old Man Zhang had been watching Chen Yang’s battle with the Zhou family from afar.
He had even fought the Three Emperor Buddhas for it.
Although later, under the guidance of the Three Emperor Buddhas, Chen Yang got to know many sect elders,
Old Man Zhang had already left when Chen Yang arrived.
Chen Yang did not recognize Old Man Zhang.
Old Man Zhang said with a conflicted expression, “I was watching from not far away when you fought with the Zhou family. But I left as soon as it was over.”
Hearing this, Chen Yang finally understood. No wonder he felt a trace of familiarity.
It was probably because he had noticed the other party’s spiritual energy before.
“So that’s how it is!”
“That ancient martial artist has already gone far. Be careful on your own here.”
Chen Yang had no intention of interacting further with the person in front of him.
He didn’t even want to know his name!
The reason was that the other person’s silent appearance here indicated that there were other channels to the outside.
If that were the case, the implications would be too great!
But the more indifferent Chen Yang was, the more awkward Old Man Zhang felt.
After all, Chen Yang had saved his life… And who could guarantee that the ancient martial artist would suddenly return?
“Chen Yang, where are you going?”
Chen Yang saw that the other person had actually followed him. He blinked and looked at the man. After a while, he said, “Senior, although I don’t know how you entered this space, we’ve only met once. I only stepped in because I didn’t want anyone to die here.”
“The blood essence of a peak Grandmaster has a very strong attraction to the monsters here. Do you see the mountain range in the distance? There are many peak Grandmaster monsters there!”
However, after Chen Yang finished speaking, Old Man Zhang still didn’t leave.
It wasn’t until Chen Yang met up with Chen Shu that Chen Yang whispered, “Hurry up!”
Before Old Man Zhang could react, Chen Yang and Chen Shu had already disappeared.
Old Man Zhang looked at a fading silhouette in the distance, cursed inwardly, and could only spur himself on.
To survive, he had to stay by Chen Yang’s side.
Chen Yang didn’t expect Old Man Zhang to have such speed. Seeing Old Man Zhang, who had exhausted all his internal energy, working so hard, Chen Yang finally had no choice but to slow down.
Chen Yang naturally did not use the Heavenly Movement Secret Technique, as Chen Shu was still with him.
But even so, the speed of the two of them was very fast.
Old Man Zhang would inevitably stop due to excessive internal energy consumption soon.
After stopping, Chen Yang turned to look at Old Man Zhang and said helplessly, “Senior, what are you doing? We have no prior connection, and I did save you once, didn’t I?”
Old Man Zhang opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Seeing this, Chen Yang patted his forehead, “Where I’m going is very dangerous. With your current internal energy, it will be very dangerous to follow.”
“The spiritual energy here is very abundant. I advise you to find a place to rest for an hour or two, and you will fully recover.”
“By then, even if that ancient martial artist comes back, you will have the ability to protect yourself, won’t you?”
Old Man Zhang nodded.
With the abundant spiritual energy here, he could indeed fully replenish his depleted internal energy within two hours.
But…
“The direction you are going is also where I want to go.”
“Since it’s on the way, shall we go together?”
“Let’s go a bit slower, I can keep up on the road.”
After Old Man Zhang finished speaking, his face immediately turned red.
This was the first time Old Man Zhang had spoken in such a humble manner.
Being so subservient to a junior made him feel extremely ashamed.
Hearing this, Chen Yang could only agree.
“Senior also intends to explore outside?”
Since he couldn’t shake off this old man, Chen Yang naturally had to interrogate him thoroughly.
Old Man Zhang scratched his head sheepishly, “You don’t need to call me Senior. Everyone calls me Old Man Zhang. Just call me Zhang.”
“I haven’t thanked you for what happened just now. When we get out, I will definitely present you with a generous gift.”
As soon as Old Man Zhang said his name, Chen Yang stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Old Man Zhang.
The reason Chen Yang had saved Old Man Zhang earlier was purely because he was worried that the aura of this place would attract the monsters in the distant mountain range.
If the monsters in the mountains came out, it would take Chen Yang and Chen Shu much longer to bypass them.
But what Chen Yang never expected was that such an unintentional act would lead him to meet Old Man Zhang.
“The one from the Confucian school?”
As soon as Chen Yang said this, Old Man Zhang’s expression changed immediately.
Old Man Zhang looked at Chen Yang strangely, secretly shocked: “This Chen Yang knows me?”
Since Old Man Zhang had his own space, he usually stayed within it and never went out.
If it weren’t for the changes happening in the outside world recently, Old Man Zhang wouldn’t have known about the battle in Tianqing City that day.
Logically, Chen Yang shouldn’t know him.
After thinking it through, there was only one possibility.
“You know me? Did the old monk from Zen Buddhist Monastery tell you?”
Chen Yang chuckled and said, “You could say that. The Abbot of Zen Buddhist Monastery told me about his encounter.”
“I also learned about Senior’s past from Xi Bai of the Confucian school.”
Only then did Old Man Zhang recall that Chen Yang seemed to have a good relationship with the War God of the outside world.
“Xi Bai of the Confucian school… I’ve heard of this young man. He might be able to shoulder the entire Confucian school in the future.”
After speaking, Old Man Zhang hurriedly explained to Chen Yang the reason for his confrontation with the old monk.
“Although I don’t know what the old monk told you, I have never harbored any malice towards you!”
