Chapter 182: Chapter 182 He Cheng (9th Update)

"In this desolate and wild ridge, what do you think you’re doing? Of course, just having a grand old time with everyone!"

A licentious laugh rang out.

"Haha! Young Master Cheng is right indeed!"

"Exactly, it’s not like we’re playing hide and seek with you, are we?"

"Hehe, after Young Master Cheng has his fun, let the brothers have a little taste too!"

...

Hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood what was happening.

He dropped the Spiritual Deer he was carrying and rushed towards the source of the voices.

"Stop it!"

"Sneer!"

By the time Ling Chen arrived, he saw a young man in a blue robe leering at a woman in a white dress, tearing off her long sleeve to reveal her pale, lotus-like arm!

Behind the blue-robed young man, five burly men laughed and joked.

"Stop!"

Ling Chen roared furiously.

Hearing the shout, hope flickered across the woman’s face, but when her gaze landed on Ling Chen’s face, her eyes dimmed.

What use could a mere youth be?

Could he possibly take on these vicious and strong men?

Especially since this blue-robed young man was from the He Family, one of the seven prestigious clans of Tianluo Prefecture!

The blue-robed young man and his five companions were first stunned, then the corners of their mouths curled up in a mocking smile as they looked at Ling Chen.

"Hey kid, thinking of playing the hero?"

The blue-robed young man chuckled as he sized up Ling Chen, detecting no trace of Spiritual Power.

Immediately, he called out to a burly man behind him, "Old Liu, your dish is served!"

"You should leave, young master, you are no match for them!"

The woman in the white dress hurriedly said.

Ling Chen smiled slightly; despite her own peril, she was still concerned about his safety?

Nevertheless, he continued walking towards the group.

"Hehe, let Old Liu give you a thorough tenderness, little young master!"

The man addressed as Old Liu rubbed his hands together and licked his lips eagerly as he charged forward.

He was a fifth-stage practitioner of the Spirit Sea Realm; the young man before him appeared to have no cultivation.

How could he pass up such an opportunity?

A look of disgust crossed Ling Chen’s face as he coldly commanded, "Scram!"

"Hmph!"

Old Liu’s expression turned frosty.

An uncultivated brat dared to speak to him like that. He sneered, "Kid, you’ll see how I’ll discipline you shortly!"

As he spoke, Spiritual Power flowed into his legs, and with a stomp, he shot towards Ling Chen like lightning.

"Hmph!"

Ling Chen snorted coldly.

"Bang!"

Without any visible motion from Ling Chen, Old Liu’s body slammed into an invisible wall, his face splattered with blood.

This bizarre scene brought silence to the area once again.

"Divine Thought Master?"

The blue-robed young man immediately exclaimed.

No wonder he couldn’t sense any Spiritual Power from the youth; it turned out this person was a Divine Thought Master.

To put a fifth-stage Spirit Sea Realm practitioner like Old Liu at a disadvantage, the youth must be a mid-grade Divine Thought Master.

However, the young man showed no fear.

He himself was at the late stage of the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm; a mid-grade Divine Thought Master didn’t seem like a threat to him!

"Young fellow, I didn’t realize you were a Divine Thought Master. Let me introduce myself, I am He Cheng from the He Family, one of the seven great clans of Tianluo Prefecture. If you join our He Family, I will let bygones be bygones, and I will also give this woman to you as a gift. How about it?"

The blue-robed young man offered with a smile.

In terms of combat power, a mid-grade Divine Thought Master really wasn’t much.

But the value of a Divine Thought Master was immense.

The He Family had always been in need of Divine Thought Masters, and if this person joined, he would surely receive a great reward!

"The He Family? Sorry, never heard of it!"

Ling Chen declined.

He Cheng’s cultivation level was merely at the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm; Ling Chen could eradicate him with a mere flick of his hand.

Even if the Clan Leader of the He Family were to invite him, it wouldn’t be enough; how does a degenerate who indulges in wine and women have the face to invite him?

"Young man, I advise you to be wise and not refuse the toast only to be forced to drink the forfeit. My He Family isn’t something that a minor Divine Thought Master like you can provoke!"

He Cheng’s face turned cold.

Among the seven great families of Tianluo Prefecture, their He Family ranked first!

"Pfft, what He Family? I’ve never heard of it. Are you perhaps mistaken about this ’colossal entity’?"

Ling Chen sneered.

He truly had never heard of the He Family.

Wasn’t it his first time coming to Tianluo Prefecture?

Moreover, he hadn’t even entered the city gates!

"Boy, you’re courting death!"

He Cheng roared in fury.

"Boom!"

Spiritual Power from the late seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm burst forth instantly, its powerful aura sweeping out and causing the fallen leaves and dust around to be swept up into the air.

"Boy, I’ll give you one more chance—are you going to submit or not?"

He Cheng stared at Ling Chen, with Spiritual Power flickering uncertainly around him.

"Slap!"

Ling Chen scoffed, and from his Heavenly Spirit surged a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis, forming an invisible palm that slapped towards He Cheng.

"Bang!"

He Cheng’s body spun 720 degrees in mid-air before crashing into the ground.

"You’re asking if I’m going to submit?"

Ling Chen smiled indifferently.

Witnessing this eerie scene, the five burly men stood dumbfounded.

Even the girl in the white dress looked on in astonishment.

Seizing the moment while everyone was stunned, Ling Chen walked over to the girl in white, helped her up, and took out a piece of clothing from his storage ring to drape over her.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your rescue!"

The girl in white hastily expressed her gratitude.

How could she expect that Ling Chen, who in her eyes was still a young boy, would actually strike down a young scion of Tianluo Prefecture’s city? And with god-like methods, the likes of which she had never seen before!

"I’m going to kill you!"

He Cheng finally came to his senses, his face filled with murderous intent.

He was a scion of the distinguished He Family, and even within Tianluo Prefecture’s city, very few dared to strike him.

Who would have imagined that in the wilderness, he would be beaten by a mere wild boy?

"What are you guys standing there for? Don’t stand there, get him for me!"

Seeing the five burly men standing like zombies, not moving an inch, He Cheng bellowed even louder.

"Yes, Young Master Cheng!"

The five brutes snapped to attention and immediately charged towards Ling Chen.

"Let’s go."

Ling Chen said flatly, leaving the area leisurely with the girl in white.

As for the assault from the five brutes, it could not approach within two zhang of them, all blocked by the Divine Soul Telekinesis.

Afterward, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis surged.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

Screams of agony followed continuously from behind, causing the girl in white to tremble slightly.

"The He Family, huh? Hmm, I might come visit when I have the time!"

Ling Chen’s voice carried over.

Originally, Ling Chen had wanted to quickly dispose of these men.

But for the sake of the girl in white, he refrained from killing.

If he were to leave, the wrath of the prestigious He Family is not something a girl with only Qi Gathering Realm cultivation could bear!

"Alright, it should be safe here. You can go now."

After they had left the area far behind, Ling Chen smiled at the girl in white.

He had done as much as he could to help the girl; he couldn’t protect her forever.

And besides, he had other matters to attend to, especially since he couldn’t let his identity as a person of the night be exposed!

Taking this girl with him would simply be an encumbrance.
