Chapter 98 – Beating up kids, Chen Changsheng: Some things need to be shouldered by someone

The lifeless puppet relentlessly attacked Mei Yongsi with fist techniques.

This puppet not only used the same fist techniques as Ye Hensheng but even the sequence of moves remained unchanged.

However, facing the same moves, Mei Yongsi was utterly defenseless.

No matter how many secret techniques you have, I only need one punch.

Punch lands!

Technique breaks!

The fists of Ye Hensheng and those executed by Chen Changsheng were worlds apart.

Seeing Mei Yongsi being beaten back step by step, Ye Hensheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This unnamed fist technique was only known by his master, the Unbeaten Daoist, in the entire Shangqing Temple, and he had only taught it to Ye Hensheng.

Now that Chen Changsheng used this fist technique, Ye Hensheng's suspicions were further confirmed.

Controlling the puppet to make Mei Yongsi flee in disarray, Chen Changsheng's face remained expressionless.

To put it more bluntly, dealing with these "kids" didn't interest Chen Changsheng at all.

The realm of the heroes from Kunlun Sacred Ground wasn't bad, but they hadn't yet fully integrated what they had learned.

In less than a hundred years, they not only had to increase their cultivation through hard work but also learn various offensive techniques.

Faced with the current environment, they also had to think about new cultivation systems.

With all these trivial matters, their time was too tight.

Encountering someone like Chen Changsheng, who delved deep into research, absorbed the strengths of many, and had lived for a thousand years, beating them was simply too easy.

Even if his realm was lower than theirs, Chen Changsheng had plenty of ways to beat them until they were searching for their teeth on the ground.

"Bang!"

A punch landed on Mei Yongsi's mouth, and two white teeth flew out along with blood.

Successfully defeating Mei Yongsi, Chen Changsheng withdrew the puppet.

If it weren't for this little guy sowing discord right in front of him, he might not have even bothered to teach him a lesson.

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Mei Yongsi got up from the ground and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for the guidance!"

"Guidance is too much, it was just a spar."

"Next time, don't talk so much, or it won't just be two teeth."

Facing Chen Changsheng's threat, Mei Yongsi turned and left with a cold face.

Being outmatched, there was nothing more to say; Chen Changsheng had already shown mercy by not going all out.

Instead of uttering useless threats, it was better to save energy and think about how to deal with someone like Chen Changsheng.

Today's incident couldn't just end like this.

Watching Mei Yongsi's retreating figure, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said.

"The fight's over, I'm going back to rest. You all can entertain yourselves."

With that, Chen Changsheng turned and returned to the Eastern Wasteland courtyard, leaving the three with their own thoughts.

......

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knocking sound came from outside the door. Chen Changsheng, leisurely sipping tea, glanced over and said calmly.

"Come in!"

"Squeak~"

The door opened, and Ye Hensheng walked in.

"Didn't I tell you to come at night?"

Hearing this, Ye Hensheng smiled and said, "Brother Chen asked me to come at night, just to avoid others' eyes and ears."

"Miss Gongsun has already gone out, and Brother Su is healing, so now is a better time than tonight."

"Makes sense, have a seat."

Glancing at the composed Chen Changsheng, Ye Hensheng slowly walked towards a chair.

"Thud!"

Halfway there, Ye Hensheng suddenly knelt down.

"The 46th generation true disciple of Shangqing Temple, greets Uncle Changsheng!"

Facing Ye Hensheng kneeling on the ground, Chen Changsheng said nothing, quietly sipping his tea.

After a long while, Chen Changsheng spoke, "How did you figure it out?"

In response to Chen Changsheng's inquiry, Ye Hensheng lowered his head and said, "Master often had me read books in his spare time."

"Thus, I learned more about past events."

"In the records of Shangqing Temple, I discovered that there was once a glorious era."

"At that time, Shangqing Temple was located in a country called the Royal Dynasty."

"My master was born in that era, and according to my understanding, there were ten true disciples in Shangqing Temple back then."

"The first eight senior brothers perished in a great battle."

"But regarding the last true disciple, there are very few records in the entire Shangqing Temple."

"Out of curiosity, I searched through all the ancient texts of Shangqing Temple and finally found this description."

"The tenth true disciple of Shangqing Temple, died suddenly due to a cultivation deviation."

"I always had doubts about this record until the Hero's Gathering was held, which finally resolved my doubts."

Hearing Ye Hensheng's words, memories deep within Chen Changsheng were stirred once more.

The Royal Dynasty, such a familiar name!

Back then, Shangqing Temple and Nightmoon Kingdom were enemies.

Recalling the past, Chen Changsheng said, "Interesting, so how did the Hero's Gathering help you resolve this doubt?"

Facing Chen Changsheng's question, Ye Hensheng respectfully replied, "Back then, my master asked me to go to a place to invite a senior called the 'Funeral Escort' to come out."

"My second master knew about this and specifically came to find me."

"He said that during this Hero's Gathering, I would have a powerful guardian, so he wouldn't accompany me."

"At the time, I was confused, so I asked."

"But my second master didn't answer, he just said lightly, 'His fist technique is better than mine.'"

"After witnessing your fist technique, I became more convinced of my suspicion that you are the 'disappeared' true disciple."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing his identity guessed, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "Your master still can't change his soft-hearted nature."

"If he hadn't slipped up, I would have continued to play along with you."

"Although your second master helped you, it also disrupted your master's plan."

"With Wanyan Yue's temperament, your second master won't escape a beating."

Seeing Chen Changsheng admit his identity, Ye Hensheng excitedly said, "Uncle, why haven't you returned all these years?"

"Master and second master often stand on the mountain peak, looking in the direction of your seclusion!"

"Won't you really see them?"

Hearing Ye Hensheng's words, Chen Changsheng sighed softly and said.

"What good would it do to see them?"

"They have their path to walk, and I have mine."

"Different paths lead to different destinations, meeting would only make parting more painful."

"Then why are you willing to come out this time, Uncle?"

"Simple, one is because I have matters to attend to here, and two is because I want some people to live."

"The Hero's Gathering marks the beginning of an era, and some burdens must be shouldered by someone."

"If you can't bear them, then it falls to your masters, do you understand what I mean?"
