nEast region, at Springfield City…

n

n

nThe night was dark.

n

n

n

n

nA complicated expression appeared on Wang Wei’s face as he looked at the Zhang family’s residence before him.

n

n

nHe took a stride forward.

n

n

nHe was the villain, he was the villain!

n

n

nThe guards at the entrance of the Zhang family’s residence spoke upon seeing him.

n

n

n

n

n“This is the Zhang family’s territory! All visitors are to halt!”

n

n

nWang Wei stopped in his tracks, but upon remembering Chu Yuan’s instructions, he raised his hand and cast a spell.

n

n

nBuzz…

n

n

nA five-pointed star formed by white light struck fiercely toward the guards.

n

n

n

n

nThe guards were sent flying and collapsed on the ground.

n

n

nAlthough they had suffered some injuries, they were all light ones and were not considered serious. It was obvious that Wang Wei had controlled himself when he attacked.

n

n

nWang Wei then proceeded to walk in without the blockade of the guards.

n

n

nThe guards, who were lying on the ground, could only watch as Wang Wei strode in. They rushed in a panicked state to a large bell beside them and rang it fiercely.

n

n

nDong…

n

n

nDong…

n

n

n

n

nDong…

n

n

nA total of three chimes…

n

n

nThe entire Zhang family’s residence immediately became restless.

n

n

nMeanwhile, Chu Yuan was above the clouds. He was standing on the white clouds and was watching the whole situation.

n

n

nHis eyes lit up when he saw the spell technique Wang Wei had cast.

n

n

nChu Yuan might possess a Nascent Soul cultivator’s Dharmic power, but he did not have any Dharma treasures or Dharma spells that he could use. He relied on merely his Dharmic power to fight.

n

n

nHe was very envious of the various techniques and spells the others could use.

n

n

n“I heard that there are places in many cities that specialize in selling secret techniques and spells. Why don’t I go take a look someday?”

n

n

n

n

nChu Yuan made a decision. After that, he continued to look down at the scene below.

n

n

nWang Wei’s intrusion into the residence had attracted the Zhang family’s attention.

n

n

nMany people surrounded Wang Wei.

n

n

nHowever, they were all experts in the mortal realm.

n

n

nOnly the few people at the front were at the late Qi Refining stage, on the same level as Wang Wei.

n

n

n“This… Can Wang Wei handle it?”

n

n

nChu Yuan was surprised for a moment. However, he did not move and chose to continue watching.

n

n

nIn the Zhang family’s residence below…

n

n

nThe Zhang family surrounded Wang Wei.

n

n

nThe Zhang family’s patriarch glowered at Wang Wei and berated, “Who are you!? What’s your purpose for trespassing into our Zhang family’s residence!?”

n

n

nAs he spoke, he exuded an imposing aura. After all, he had been the family head for a long time.

n

n

nWang Wei was shocked by the scolding and instinctively wanted to apologize.

n

n

nHowever, upon thinking of Chu Yuan’s existence… he swallowed the words he wanted to say and recalled Chu Yuan’s instructions.

n

n

n

n

nWang Wei ground his teeth and pretended to laugh. He then continued. “Hehehehe, I’m here to… find your Zhang family. I’m here to beat up all of you!”

n

n

nAfter the weird peal of laughter rang out, the surrounding Zhang family members looked at Wang Wei strangely.

n

n

nWas he a fool?

n

n

nThe Zhang family’s patriarch harrumphed coldly. “Beat up our Zhang family? With you alone?”

n

n

nWang Wei had a bitter expression on his face as he continued to laugh. “Hehehe, yes, just me alone is sufficient!”

n

n

nThe Zhang family’s patriarch focused his gaze and did not waste any more time talking. His palm was covered with a layer of white light as he struck toward Wang Wei. His movements were very fast, and Wang Wei didn’t even have the time to react.

n

n

nWang Wei was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

n

n

nChu Yuan in the sky, “…”

n

n

nThat’s it?

n

n

nWhat happened to beating the Zhang family?

n

n

nYou’re done just like that?

n

n

nYou have just destroyed my plan!

n

n

nChu Yuan released his aura without thinking and descended rapidly, with the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator weighing down on those below.

n

n

nAll the members of the Zhang family were instantly crushed to the ground. Their faces were flushed red, and they were unable even to raise their heads.

n

n

nChu Yuan descended slowly. He wore a snow-white robe, and his expression was calm like water. He seemed like a peerless immortal that had been exiled.

n

n

nAfter he landed, he retracted his aura.

n

n

nOnly then did the Zhang family members stand up, all of them looking at this exceptional exiled immortal with incomparable horror.

n

n

nDue to this person’s earlier pressure, their hearts were filled with nothing but submission. There was no anger or resistance in their hearts.

n

n

nThis was because the difference in their realms was too great.

n

n

nThe Zhang family’s patriarch also changed his attitude and asked, “What instructions does Senior have for our Zhang family?”

n

n

nAs he spoke, he looked at Wang Wei, who looked like a dead dog.

n

n

nCould this fellow be in cahoots with this expert!?

n

n

nHe was somewhat frightened.

n

n

nChu Yuan was expressionless and maintained a cold demeanor. Upon noticing the patriarch’s gaze, he also understood something.

n

n

nHe glanced at the unconscious Wang Wei and felt relieved—that fellow was unconscious.

n

n

nTherefore, Chu Yuan said coldly, “Don’t worry, I have nothing to do with this person. I sensed that there’s someone in your Zhang family who is fated to be my disciple and thus took a trip here.”

n

n

nThe members of the Zhang family heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. But soon, doubts arose in their hearts.

n

n

nWho in the Zhang family was chosen by this expert?

n

n

nChu Yuan said indifferently, “Where is your Zhang family’s Zhang Han?”

n

n

nThe moment this was said…

n

n

nIt had been ten years since Zhang Han was unable to cultivate. This was something that everyone knew. Yet, this expert was willing to accept Zhang Han as his disciple?

n

n

nThe Zhang family’s patriarch said bitterly, “Senior, Zhang Han is my son. However, due to some reasons, his spirit root was destroyed ten years ago. He is unable to cultivate now. Does Senior know about this?”

n

n

nIt is precisely because he does not have a spirit root that I have come.

n

n

nIf he weren’t so useless, I wouldn’t even want him.

n

n

nChu Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly, but his expression remained extremely cold as he said, “It’s fine. I have ways that can assist him in his cultivation. Bring Zhang Han out now. I intend to take him away to cultivate at the sect.”

n

n

nHe had a way that would allow Zhang Han to cultivate?

n

n

nWhen the Zhang family’s patriarch heard this, he became excited and repeatedly said, “Alright, alright, alright. Senior, please wait a moment. I will bring Han’er over right away!”

n

n

nHe immediately ran outside.

n

n

nChu Yuan stood still and heaved a sigh of relief.

n

n

nYou should have said so earlier. I could have just come directly.

n

n

nWhat’s the point of planning all this commotion?

n

n

nGod knows what he’s thinking!

n

n

nA member of the Zhang family walked over and said respectfully, “Senior, how should we deal with this trespasser?”

n

n

nChu Yuan took another look at Wang Wei. He decided to burn the bridge after crossing it. He wanted to teach Wang Wei what it meant to be treacherous.

n

n

nChu Yuan waved his hand and said decisively, “This person has nothing to do with me. How you deal with him is your problem. You don’t have to ask me.”

n

n

nThe Zhang family member hurriedly cupped his hands and acknowledged the order. He then called two people over and brought away Wang Wei.

n

n

nChu Yuan watched Wang Wei being taken away before fixing his eyes on the sky.

n

n

nHe has nothing to do with me.

n

n

nHe has nothing to do with me.

n

n

nHe has nothing to do with me.

n

n

nHe stood there with this posture for a while.

n

n

nSoon, the patriarch of the Zhang family returned with another person.

n

n

nIt was a young man that was similar in age to Wang Wei. He was around 20 years old and had a handsome appearance not inferior to that of his eldest disciple, Ye Luo.

n

n

nHowever, Ye Luo’s temperament was more arrogant, as if he was a sword immortal. On the other hand, this young man’s temperament was rather refined, making people feel like he was bathing in the spring breeze.

n

n

nAt first glance, one would think that this person was very cultured and gentle.

n

n

nThis was Zhang Han?

n

n

nHis temperament was perfect, but it was too bad that he was a piece of trash.

n

n

nThis was Chu Yuan’s first impression of Zhang Han…
