Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 90 - 86: Ling Hui Expresses Gratitude

After Chen Yi left,

Yang Youzhi stood in a daze on the spot for quite a while. After having experienced what he considered to be the most delightful sensation in existence,

Yang Youzhi felt a complete emptiness engulf him. The whole world suddenly felt tasteless and insignificant, his spirit diminished, his physical vigour declining, he found it hard to concentrate,

Martial arts, beauties, wealth, power, all seemed like transient clouds. Their importance had seemed to irreversibly fade away.

Now, he just yearned to relive the divine ecstasy induced by the Immortal Happiness Water. He wished to suspend himself forever in that moment of consummate bliss.

As time passed, Yang Youzhi's obsession and desire for this experience grew stronger.

But this was only his first experience. Yang Youzhi hadn't lost his rational mind completely.

Even if he had lost his sense, he knew he couldn't return to Ma Zi Gang.

The death of his elite followers didn't matter, but the death of the second young master of Xu Family weighed heavily on him, especially now that his essence, qi and spirit were declining.

If he returned, the gang leader might sacrifice him to the Xu Family out of guilt,

But how could he let that happen!

If he did, he would never be able to taste the divine ecstasy again!

It was a full moon night and there were still half a month left!

For the first time in his life, Yang Youzhi felt every breath of time unusually hard to bear.

He made his way to a decrepit temple thirty miles to the east of the city, lost and dispirited. Although there were still half a month left, he didn't want to do anything but wait for that moment to arrive.

....

In this encounter, Chen Yi didn't reveal too much of his real strength.

The most he demonstrated was his extraordinary Vitality and Blood Power compared to the average Anjin martial artist, and his Eight Steps Chasing Cicada Body technique combined with the Iron Whip Leg.

These were not unexplainable. The remarkable Vitality and Blood Power may have been due to the Demon Fish he caught in Lake Taize. The Eight Steps Chasing Cicada was something Senior Sister Qi Ying taught him in secret.

Moreover, everything he did, he did it under Elder Brother Yunhu's appearance. All the offenses towards Xu Family and Ma Zi Gang today could be blamed on Yunhu later,

Even if it may be a cause for concern when Yunhu gets his appearance back. But since he had taken Chen Yi's appearance without permission and infiltrated Ma Seven Gang, it was only fair.

Further, Chen guessed that Yang Youzhi wouldn't dare go back to his gang. The sole death of Second Young Master of Xu Family was enough for him to take responsibility for.

Besides, Elder Liu once told him that mortal men who taste the Immortal Happiness Water find it almost impossible to resist its allure, they crave it all the time.

Ordinary people can resist for about 3 days, some stronger body cultivators can resist for 5, 7, 8 days.

Chen guessed that Yang wouldn't have energy or motivation to return to his gang to report and fight to the death.

If this 0.1% chance happened, Chen had a plan. He could just abandon his identity as Yunhu.

There was another 0.01% chance that the real Yunhu in the gang would be discovered, and he would reveal Chen.

In that case, Chen could just take his mother and sister and leave Lakeside County. With his current strength, he was more than capable of protecting them.

Besides, he had a fallback plan - to hide away in the Immortal Cultivation World for years. That way, no one could touch him.

The risk was worth taking if it meant he could defeat Huajin level Yang Youzhi, and gain Iron Shirt Technique's Huajin martial method. If that happened, he'd be able to complete the Iron Word Sect Three Techniques' Huajin martial method,

He could continue his cultivation to the third level of Body Cultivation.

And the third level, even in the Immortal Cultivation World, was something substantial. Its combat ability was no less than that of the later stages of Qi Cultivation.

He could then quietly retreat to the Spiritual Mist in the Immortal Cultivation World to continue his Qi cultivation and make his entry into immortality, wouldn't that be a smart move?

Besides, the gains from this move were not limited to just Yang Youzhi.

...

After a while, when Chen Yi returned to Feng Family with Yunhu's appearance, the little monk was already waiting for him.

To help keep Chen's secret, the little monk cleverly whispered with Chen Yi in the room:

"Linghui is grateful for Brother Yunhu's life-saving actions,"

"When Brother Yunhu sacrificed himself to lead the wolf away, I had no strength to stand with you and fight, Linghui feels ashamed,"

"Please accept my bow, Brother Yunhu!"

Saying so, the little monk bowed to Chen Yi, not using Buddhist rituals, but a regular bow.

Chen Yi gently lifted him up, saying courteously:

"Little Master Linghui, there is no need for this. The Ma Zi Gang destroyed my martial sect and put a bounty on me. I bear a deep blood feud with them. This move was part of my plan."

Linghui promptly replied, "Brother Yunhu, there's no need for formalities. I am aware that if Guang Zhi and I had not been injured in the end, you would not have ventured out to fight the Vice head Yang.

Nevertheless, you sacrificed yourself at the crucial moment and blocked the fatal strike intended for me. You saved my life, and I am deeply grateful!

As long as Brother Yunhu doesn't ask to learn our Bright Temple's Vajra Kung Fu, any other reward is negotiable."

Chen Yi had mixed feelings internally. I only want to learn your Vajra Kung Fu, or any other martial technique that is even better,

However, he didn't say it right away. Let him owe me for now, if he refuses to teach Vajra Kung Fu for once, the next couple of times should be fine.

"Saving someone was a spur of the moment decision. Fortunately, Yang Youzhi had already exhausted much of his qi during the fight with you,

I escaped from the forest by mere luck, after exerting all my strength and playing all my trump cards.

Now, I'm not sure what has become of Yang Youzhi,

however, in this county, the Ma Zi Gang and the Xu Family are dominant forces, so we need to be more careful in the future."

On hearing this, a flash of anger flickered in the young monk's eyes:

"Hmph! Brother Yunhu, you don't need to worry. The Xu Family and Ma Zi Gang are nothing. You can live here in the Feng Family's mansion with peace of mind, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Moreover, my senior brother has specifically rushed back from the frontline this time and will hold the Xu Family and Ma Zi Gang accountable tomorrow,

Then they will be too busy to take revenge on you!"

Oh? Your senior brother is coming back to back you up? In that case, there's no rush to abandon the identity of Yunhu, just be more cautious.

If the Xu Family and the Ma Zi Gang could be completely wiped out, then Chen Yi would be considerably safer living as Brother Yunhu.

Of course, Chen Yi only listened to the young monk's assurance of absolute safety here,

He had revealed the Iron Whip Leg and Iron Wire Fist now. Regardless of anyone else, the leader of Ma Zi Gang, Ma San Dao, would definitely be watching him.

However, with Chen Yi's current overall strength, he was not afraid of Ma San Dao. Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

There's no need to take risks now, though. After another year or so of cultivation, Chen Yi estimated Ma San Dao would not be his match.

This time he killed the Second Young Master of Xu Family and trapped most of the elites of Ma Zi Gang. He avenged the betrayal of the Xu Family, who sold him a ship and then informed Ma Zi Gang to hunt him.

Whether to annihilate the Xu Family in the future depends on their future actions. If they give up their pursuit,

Chen Yi couldn't bother to take further action. Of course, if the Xu family persistently annoyed him, then he would not hesitate to retaliate....

As for Ma Zi Gang, most of the gang members have been slaughtered, and the gang leader probably didn't intend to let him go,

he should find an opportunity to kill him, otherwise, he would always feel unsettled.

As for Vice head Yang, in Chen Yi's eyes, he was already a dead man, but he let him live a few more days.

Afterward,

The little monk repeatedly asked Chen Yi what reward he wanted - gold, silver, position, or to recommend Chen Yi to be a student at the Bright Temple, all of which Chen Yi refused.

This made the little monk feel very awkward, promising that he would definitely be promoted to Huajin and even Danjin Grandmaster in the future, and at that time, he would repay Chen Yi for his life-saving grace!

Finally, the little monk mentioned that the Master of Lingyin Temple, Master Lingyin, wanted Chen Yi to pay him a visit as a token of gratitude for saving the temple.

Master Lingyin?

A stir rose in Chen Yi's heart. He belonged to the Ling generation as well. It was said that he came out from the Bright Temple, and he might have information about the Vajra Kung Fu. It might be worth a visit.
