Chapter 430: Chapter 208 Donkey_2

At that moment, he even doubted whether he was the Lu Ban Sect Leader or if Chen Shi was the Lu Ban Sect Leader.

"Could I be an impostor?" A ridiculous thought surfaced in his mind.

Just then, he had exhausted all his moves, yet Chen Shi continued to control the mechanism to attack him.

The technique employed by the mechanism was one that he, as the Lu Ban Sect Leader, had never seen before!

Situ Wen’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he continuously retreated to avoid the mechanism’s attacks.

Chen Shi, while attacking, chanted, "Tens of thousands of li to the northwest Kongtong, entering the Three Han distant and obscure. Only the southern dragon enters China, nurturing ancestors with unique inception."

Suddenly, the mechanism disintegrated, no longer in the form of a human Mechanician, but rather like two Kongtong Mountain Ranges diving at him!

Situ Wen retreated dozens of yards, striving to dodge this strike!

Chen Shi, standing atop the mechanism-turned-house dragon’s head, advanced with his left foot, launching sealing strikes as both dragons pounced in unison!

Situ Wen, pale-faced, tumbled and rolled to desperately avoid the strike.

Chen Shi recited, "The Yellow River’s nine bends are the intestines, the winding rivers of Sichuan are the bladder. Limbs split, veins cross from all directions, Qi-Blood connects and halts at water!"

The bifurcated mechanism transformed again, resembling the bending Yellow River and rivers of Sichuan, entwining left and right, strangling Situ Wen.

Situ Wen awkwardly dodged but was still grazed by the body of the dragon transformed from the mechanism; his Nascent Soul force field was penetrated, and with a grunt, he rolled and was flung a hundred yards away!

"Presumably true dragons have their path, star peaks haphazard are the dragon’s body. High mountains recognize where star peaks rise, flat ground’s dragon path bears another name!"

Before Chen Shi’s chanting ceased, the mechanism had already charged forward, disintegrating and recomposing in mid-air, with star peaks haphazardly arranged and the dragon moving in myriad forms, causing Situ Wen to stare in astonishment.

"I am the fake Sect Leader, he is the real one..."

He felt utterly dejected, no longer resisted, dispersed his Nascent Soul force field, closed his eyes, and stood in place waiting for death.

"I must be fake... I’ve been a fake Sect Leader all these years! I’ve practiced the Dragon Trace Technique for years, yet I’m not even comparable to a twelve-year-old kid, how can I face my ancestors?"

Suddenly, the dragon transformed from the mechanism halted, stopping right in front of Situ Wen.

Situ Wen opened his eyes and saw Chen Shi standing on the top of the mechanism-transformed house, looking down at him with a smile.

Situ Wen felt a profound sadness and said, "I lost, you took the family’s Magical Treasure, and your abilities surpass mine. You defeated me using my own Lu Ban Sect techniques, I am convinced both in heart and speech. Kill me, go on and be the Lu Ban Sect Leader."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Why would I be the Lu Ban Sect Leader? Aren’t you curious why I know the Dragon Trace Technique?"

Situ Wen, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel curious, saying, "Why do you know the Dragon Trace Technique... wait, I know! You must be the reincarnation of an ancestor from my Lu Ban Sect! You took over Chen Shi’s body, that’s why you know the Dragon Trace Technique!"

Chen Shi was astonished.

This Sect Leader Situ seemed to make some far-fetched connections.

"I’m not your ancestor, but the Dragon Trace Technique is indeed a hereditary Cultivation Technique of my family."

Chen Shi smiled, "You lost to my family’s Cultivation Technique, a justifiable loss."

Situ Wen, half-believing, half-doubting, said, "The Dragon Trace Technique is a hereditary Cultivation Technique of my Lu Ban Sect, albeit incomplete, it is a superior technique. Practiced to perfection, it can transform mountains into dragons to fight for oneself, possessing boundless power! How could this technique possibly be your family’s Cultivation Technique?"

He still suspected that Chen Shi was the reincarnation of some ancestor.

As long as Chen Shi nodded, he would immediately kneel and acknowledge his ancestor.

"Why would the Lu Ban Sect’s heritage of the Dragon Trace Technique appear outside the True King’s Tomb?"

Chen Shi inadvertently thought of the death of the True King.

The True King had cultivated the Water and Fire Refining Technique, and at the very least, could have become a Corpse Resolving Immortal, but he had been beheaded, losing the opportunity to cultivate a Corpse Disintegration Immortal.

With so many Cultivation Techniques inherited outside the True King’s Tomb, it seemed that the True King must have experienced a great misfortune in his later years, realizing a potential massive decline in sect inheritances in the future, so he had each sect present their techniques before his death.

"That is to say, the stele forest outside the True King’s Tomb is actually preserving a heritage for the West Bull New Continent," thought Chen Shi.

Chen Shi smiled, "The Dragon Trace Technique is indeed a family cultivation technique of ours, but it has never been said it couldn’t be taught to outsiders. The Dragon Trace Technique of the Lu Ban Sect is incomplete; I can teach you the complete technique."

Situ Wen was stunned. "You will teach me the complete Dragon Trace Technique..."

Chen Shi descended from the mechanism, and as the talisman on the mechanism dissipated, the houses returned to normal. He smiled, "I will not take the mechanism either, I am returning it to you now. Tomorrow, go to Hu Village, and I will leave you a complete copy of the Dragon Trace Technique."

Situ Wen’s expression was complicated as he suddenly said, "Young Master has treated me extremely well, I will not betray you."

Chen Shi smiled, "You must have your reasons."

Situ Wen said, "The craftsmen under me built a stretch of city wall that was destroyed by demon beasts, and the officials wanted to punish me for it. It was the Young Master who pleaded on my behalf, sparing me from prison. Young Master has shown me great kindness, and knowing our Lu Ban Sect’s mechanism was malfunctioning, he sent over a dozen Great Talisman Masters to help us repair it, making it usable again!"

Chen Shi said, "Such a kindness cannot go unrepaid. That’s why you have chosen to follow the Young Master, even if he has committed acts that defy heaven and harm reason, you remain utterly loyal to him."

Situ Wen hesitated, then said, "Chen Shi, the Young Master can change this unjust world. He has the talent and the wisdom, the ideals, the ambition, the means, and the connections. He can turn the world on its head! Even if his personal morals are lacking, I will still follow him!"

He leapt onto the mechanism and said solemnly, "I cannot repay your mercy of not killing me, so I will not participate in your conflict with the Young Master. As for the Dragon Trace Technique... I will not take it!"

He began to operate the mechanism, preparing to leave.

Chen Shi’s voice came from behind him, "Sect Leader Situ, you are just like a donkey."

Situ Wen’s forehead veins bulged as he coldly scoffed, "Say whatever you want!"

Chen Shi smiled, "Do you know why donkeys wear a black cloth over their eyes when pulling a mill?"

Situ Wen snorted and continued walking forward.

"If the donkey knew that despite moving forward, it was actually just walking in circles, it would refuse to work. That’s why their eyes must be covered."

Chen Shi’s mocking voice followed, "The Young Master has covered your eyes with a black cloth called grace and ideals. This cloth prevents you from seeing right and wrong, from seeing his numerous misdeeds. You follow him, but you are just walking in circles!"

"You will not confuse my mind!" Situ Wen shouted, propelling the mechanism forward.

Chen Shi laughed loudly, "Even before he has succeeded, he has committed countless evils. If he succeeds, what difference will there be from the current state of the world?"

Situ Wen, without turning back, yelled, "I won’t listen to you!"

Chen Shi shouted, "Even if he succeeds, the state of the world will not change! Because he, himself, is the state of the world! He is a part of it!"

Situ Wen’s face turned steel blue as he continued forward.

After an unknown period, he arrived outside Yudou City when suddenly someone called out to him.

"Sect Leader Situ, have you found Chen Shi?"

The person was Mrs. Xue from the Red Lady Society, which mostly consisted of women engaged in matchmaking and were familiar with Situ Wen.

"I’ve found out that Chen Shi’s family lives in Huangpo Village on Qianyang Mountain."

Mrs. Xue suggested, "Since you can’t find him, why not attack Huangpo Village and kill everyone there to vent your anger?"

Situ Wen had been deeply conflicted until then, but hearing this, he was greatly shocked.

"So, the Young Master really is part of this world."

Not long after Chen Shi returned to Hu Village, a little fox came to report, "Grandfather Chen, there’s a man outside claiming to be Situ Wen asking to see you."

Chen Shi smiled at Hu Feifei, "I told you, I wasn’t going out to fight."

Feifei was curious, "If you didn’t go to fight, how did you persuade Situ Wen to betray the Young Master?"

Chen Shi smiled, "I called him a donkey. He must have realized it himself; indeed, he is just a donkey."

He went outside the village, and Situ Wen was already waiting. Upon seeing him, Situ Wen bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Lu Ban Sect’s Situ Wen greets Mr. Chen. Sir, I no longer wish to be a donkey just spinning in place." fгeewebnovёl.com

Chen Shi with a solemn face, said, "Sect Leader Situ, do you wish to join the Heavenly Court?"

— Yesterday, Zhāi Zhū escaped from Hainan and returned to Suzhou. As soon as he landed, the typhoon roared in... This year, it’s a fight with the typhoons!
