"Do you really think you can stop me?" He gently set Lin Yue down, and in a flash, he appeared before the figure of the Night, moving with the speed of lightning.
The enemy, Night, remained silent, but his dagger struck towards Chu Sheng's throat like a venomous snake, ruthless and vicious. Chu Sheng sidestepped just in time, delivering a powerful punch to the opponent's chest, the wind from his fist howling with tremendous force. Night's form flickered and transformed into a cloud of black mist, dissipating eerily.
"Be careful!" Lin Yue suddenly cried out, her voice filled with fear.
Chu Sheng turned sharply, only to see Night had already appeared behind Lin Yue like a ghost, the dagger pressed against her neck, glinting coldly. "Don't move, or she dies!" Night's voice was hoarse and deep, like an Evil Spirit rising from hell.
Chu Sheng's gaze turned icy, exuding a chilling killing intent. The Merit Book in his mind trembled:
[Good Deed Detected: Repelling Evil Forces, Protecting Innocents]
[Mission Reward: Merit Points ×500]
Activating his Rapid Ability to its fullest, Chu Sheng's figure vanished from sight as if he had melded into the air. Night scanned the surroundings warily but found that Chu Sheng's presence had completely disappeared, an unsettling feeling creeping into his heart. Just then, a hand shot out from the void like an iron claw, gripping his wrist with such force that it felt as if it would snap.
"Bang!" With a dull thud, Night was thrown away and crashed heavily against a large tree, letting out a painful groan. As he struggled to rise, Chu Sheng was already upon him, stepping on his chest to pin him down.
"Speak! What does Heishan sect want?" Chu Sheng activated his Zhen Yan Ability, his tone cold and commanding.
Night struggled for a moment but found himself unable to resist the power of the Ability. He involuntarily began to speak: "We plan to use the Heavenly Fate Bloodline on the night of the full moon to open the seal of the Evil God..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful wave of energy surged from afar, sweeping in like an avalanche. Chu Sheng's heart sank; this aura was several times stronger than that of a Shura, pressing down on him with an inexplicable weight.
"Someone is coming!" Lin Yue's face turned pale as she clutched tightly onto Chu Sheng's sleeve.
Chu Sheng made a decisive move, striking down the darkness with a powerful palm and lifting Lin Yue to escape. But it was too late; over a dozen figures appeared like phantoms, surrounding them completely, each exuding a formidable aura and a palpable killing intent.
"Impressive skills, my friend," a gentle voice resonated, as soothing as a spring breeze yet carrying an undeniable authority. An elderly man with white hair stepped forward from the crowd, his youthful appearance contrasting with the overwhelming power he radiated, akin to a dormant volcano.
Chu Sheng recognized the identity of the elder—Tian Yun Sect Elder! This was someone frequently seen on television programs.
He immediately became alert; the sudden appearance of such a powerful figure was anything but coincidental.
"No need to be tense," the elder said with a warm smile that felt both friendly and inscrutable. "We are here to help you. This young lady has awakened the Heavenly Fate Bloodline, and according to our customs, it is my duty to protect her on behalf of the Tian Yun Sect."
At that moment, an enraged roar echoed from afar: "Chase them down! Don't let them escape!" The voice was filled with resentment and fury, like that of a wounded beast.
The elder frowned slightly. "The people from Heishan sect truly are relentless, buzzing around like flies." With a wave of his hand, several disciples of the Tian Yun Sect dispersed, taking up defensive positions around them like loyal guardians.
Chu Sheng's mind raced with thoughts. The Tian Yun Sect was indeed a formidable ally, but he understood better than anyone that there were no eternal friends—only eternal interests. The immediate priority was to protect Lin Yue; everything else could wait for later.
"Boom!" A loud crash signaled the arrival of Shura and his band of black-clad men, surging forward like an overwhelming tide. Upon seeing the Tian Yun Sect members, Shura's expression soured instantly, as if he had swallowed something foul.
"Shura, how dare you threaten members of my Tian Yun Sect?" the elder said coldly, his tone laced with anger.
Shura gritted his teeth. "This is our Heishan sect's business; I ask that the Tian Yun Sect not interfere." His tone was firm but tinged with caution.
"A joke!" The elder scoffed, his voice booming like thunder. "Those who awaken the Heavenly Fate Bloodline have been under my Tian Yun Sect's protection since ancient times. Do you Heishan sect wish to make enemies of us?"
Xiu Luo's expression fluctuated between dark and light, his heart struggling immensely. He was well aware that with the current strength of the Black Mountain Society, it was not enough to contend with the Tian Yun Sect; a head-on confrontation would only lead to self-destruction.
"Fine, this time I will give the Tian Yun Sect some face." Xiu Luo glared fiercely at Chu Sheng, his eyes filled with resentment. "You better wait for me, kid! We'll see what happens!" With that, he turned around with his subordinates, leaving in a dejected manner, like a stray dog.
The old man then turned to Chu Sheng. "Young friend, why not accompany me to the Tian Yun Sect? It would be my pleasure to extend some hospitality."
Chu Sheng glanced at Lin Yue, and seeing her slight nod, he agreed, "Alright."
...
They arrived at an ancient and elegant manor, complete with pavilions and towers, intricately carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an air of mystery as if they had entered a fairyland. The old man led them to a reception room that was elegantly decorated and filled with a fragrant aroma.
"You possess remarkable strength, young friend. Would you be willing to join my Tian Yun Sect?" the old man said straightforwardly, his tone sincere and devoid of any pretense.
Chu Sheng had been prepared for this. "It would be my honor to join the Tian Yun Sect."
The old man revealed a satisfied smile. "Good! From today onward, you are a member of my Tian Yun Sect. I will arrange for someone to guide you in your cultivation and help you achieve great things as soon as possible."
On the surface, Chu Sheng appeared respectful, but internally he was calculating. The Tian Yun Sect had immense power, which could be leveraged against the Black Mountain Society while uncovering the truth behind his family's annihilation. However, he also needed to remain cautious about the Tian Yun Sect itself; after all, one could never fully understand another's heart.
At that moment, Lin Yue suddenly swayed as a powerful energy erupted from within her, unstoppable like a volcanic eruption. Chu Sheng quickly supported her but felt a chilling wave of power that sent a shiver of unease through him.
The old man's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The Heavenly Fate Bloodline has finally awakened completely!"
