Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

boom!
With a deafening roar, Zhu Rong's Divine Fire Palm exploded, unleashing terrifying explosive power with unparalleled force. With a boom, it stirred up waves of air, as if a missile had been detonated on the spot, and mushroom clouds rose up.

Bang!
Gululu...

After the explosion, a person was seen flying out of the blast, falling to the ground and rolling away into the distance.

"what?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie let out a soft exclamation of surprise, clearly astonished that this person had managed to emerge unscathed from the explosion.

After rolling around a few times, the man finally stopped, looked up at Chen Jie with utter terror in his eyes, and his beautiful armor was blown to shreds.

Clearly, his armor played a crucial role in his survival from Chen Jie's palm strike.

He finally stopped, leaning on his sword, and tried to get up from the ground with difficulty. But as soon as he moved, he aggravated the wound in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed everywhere. But before he could react, Chen Jie used the Qiankun Great Shift to teleport in front of him, raised his hand, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

Uh uh uh……

At this moment, he desperately tried to break free from Chen Jie's grasp, but to no avail. Chen Jie's hand was like an iron clamp, holding him tightly.

At this moment, he could only tear the cloth helplessly, like a helpless woman.

Chen Jie's gaze was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if he were crushing an ant.

Just as Chen Jie was about to crush this self-proclaimed god like an ant, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait a minute!"

Chen Jie paused, turned around to look at the person who had spoken, and saw that it was none other than the Little Immortal Venerable.

"You want to do it yourself?"

Chen Jie looked at the Little Immortal Venerable.

The little immortal immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Chen Jie looked at her in surprise and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"Grandpa, could you spare his life? Please don't kill him."

"Not kill him?"

Chen Jie looked at the Little Immortal Venerable with a puzzled expression and said, "He wanted to kill you, but you didn't kill him?"

The Little Immortal said, "Jiang Feng is also obeying the Eastern King. Actually, he is pitiful. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up with his younger sister. The Eastern King saved his younger sister's life, so there is nothing wrong with him working for the Eastern King."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the little immortal and said, "Little girl, you're too kind-hearted. You won't go far. If you don't kill him, he'll kill you when he gets the chance!"

Upon hearing this, the little immortal fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Grandpa, if you don't let go, he'll really die. I'll be begging you for nothing."

Looking at the little immortal, Chen Jie glanced at Jiang Feng. Actually, whether he killed him or not didn't matter much. A second-stage Fusion God was no longer much of a threat to him.

but……

Chen Jie released Jiang Feng's neck, and Jiang Feng fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his neck and coughing desperately: "Cough cough..."

Seeing him like this, Chen Jie didn't say anything, but he looked at the little immortal and said, "You should have listened to him and spared my life. You'll regret it."

The Little Immortal Venerable looked at Jiang Feng and said, "You have violated the laws of the Immortal Realm, and naturally the Immortal Realm's law enforcement will hold you accountable. If I were to kill you here at will, how would I be any different from you?"

Jiang Feng looked at the Little Immortal Venerable and said, "This is why you can't defeat the Eastern King."

The little immortal said, "We immortals inherit the mandate of heaven. Your virtue is such that everything is based on reason and law. How can I be like you, who has no reason or law?"

"How pedantic! The Eastern King is right. If it weren't for the fact that you and the Old Immortal Venerable are both so pedantic, my Immortal Clan would have already stormed over from Kunlun and ruled over these weak mortals!"

"Jiang Feng shouted."

The little immortal didn't answer, but only said, "We are actually protecting everyone, not wanting you to go down the path of destruction. The outside world is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"

"Terrible? Heh, how terrifying can he be? You mean this old guy? He can only bully me. In front of the Eastern King, he's as weak as an ant."

Chen Jie was enjoying watching the two argue, but then they turned the conversation to him, and this Jiang Feng, spewing nonsense, dared to look down on him.

At this point, Chen Jie, angered, said, "Are you done talking?"

"When the immortals are speaking, who gives you the right to interrupt?"

Jiang Feng roared angrily, but the next moment he was kicked away by Chen Jie with a bang. Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie teleported in front of him and stepped on his head.

Boom! Immediately afterwards, Jiang Feng's entire head slammed into the ground.

At this moment, Chen Jie's shoe sole rubbed against Jiang Feng's face frantically. Chen Jie said in an icy voice, "You better remember who you're talking to. You arrogant piece of trash, your life or death is now in my hands, understand?"

"You damned bug, how dare you treat me like this? I am a celestial being, I am a god!"

what……

Chen Jie then increased the pressure of his foot and said, "Immortal, you noble immortal, I ask you, why are you rubbing your face against the sole of my shoe now? Do you like it?"

"Ah, you damned thing, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Jiang Feng roared angrily, and Chen Jie replied, "Kill me? Hahaha, fine, then why don't you do it? Don't you like it? Or do you just like me trampling on you, being a pathetic bug!"

"Ah! Gods and immortals can be killed, but not insulted! How dare you treat me like this? Kill me!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Kill you? You want to die? Dream on! You can't even die without my permission. You're so arrogant, aren't you? Come on, let me see you die."

"what!"

Jiang Feng roared, but at that moment Chen Jie pushed off with his foot, and a powerful burst of energy rushed into his body, destroying his dantian with a loud bang.

"Ah~"

Jiang Feng screamed in agony, nearly fainting from the intense pain. As Chen Jie trampled him to the ground, feeling his shattered dantian, he cried out in agony, "You...you actually destroyed my cultivation!" Chen Jie replied calmly, "This is the fate of the defeated."

Jiang Feng cried out in anguish, "Kill me, kill me!"

Chen Jie ignored him completely, but at this moment Jiang Feng saw Little Immortal Venerable and said, "Little Immortal Venerable, hurry, hurry and make him kill me, kill me."

The little immortal was also reluctant to speak, but Chen Jie glanced at her and said, "First, I saved your life. I am your savior. I don't know how you so-called immortals treat your saviors, but we mortals will not make any disgusting demands."

"Secondly, I am not your servant and I am not required to obey your orders, so I hope you can recognize your position."

"Don't say anything inappropriate that will give me a bad impression of you."

After Chen Jie finished speaking, the little immortal, who had opened his mouth, obediently closed it again.

At this moment, the soldiers who had been chasing Jiang Feng also rushed over. However, when they saw their commander being trampled on the ground like a bug, they were stunned. Just as they were about to run away, Chen Jie raised his hand and slapped out with his palm.

"The dragon wiggles its tail."

The next moment, a huge dragon tail descended from the sky. With a sweep of its tail, carrying terrifying power, it instantly sent all the charging soldiers flying. The powerful force shattered their sternums, and they fell to the ground, dead.

Seeing this, the little immortal closed his eyes in despair, but he did not foolishly question Chen Jie about why he killed them.

After they were taken down, the salt team in the distance looked over in shock. Someone recognized Chen Jie as Yu Sanliu.

But the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) was very clever. After traveling all over the country for so many years, he immediately realized that Chen Jiu Si had concealed his identity and was a big shot.

Thinking of this, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"quick!"

But just as he was about to say the name, he saw Chen Jie wave at him!
The old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) pointed to himself in surprise, as if to say, "Are you calling me?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie pointed at him again and nodded. The old bodyguard instantly understood that he was being targeted. The old bodyguard took a deep breath.

He said to the caravan behind him, "Don't move, I'm going to take a look."

Upon hearing this, none of the镖局 (escort agency) members dared to move. The old镖头 (escort leader) rode his horse quickly over and soon arrived at Chen Jie's side. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I didn't know when you would grace our镖局 with your presence. I have offended you greatly these past few days. Please forgive me."

Chen Jie glanced at him and said, "There's no need for that. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by your esteemed escort agency these past few days. Please forgive me, old escort chief."

"No, no, this old man would never dare to blame you."

After exchanging a few polite words, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) cautiously asked, "Um, senior, what brings you here, this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at him and said, "Oh, old镖头 (镖头 is a term of endearment for a镖头), there's something I need to trouble you with."

"Ah, please speak, senior. If you have any orders, I will have no objection."

The old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) knew all too well how terrifying the person before him was; the other party could take his life with a mere wave of his hand. So he hurriedly pledged his loyalty, fearing that if he didn't do it well, he would perish.

Thinking this, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) became even more respectful. Chen Jie looked at the old镖头 and said, "Old镖头, there's no need to be so nervous. I, Chen Jiu Si, am not an unreasonable person, and I can't ask you to do something you can't accomplish."

The old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) immediately clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Please give your instructions, senior."

Chen Jie said, "You see, I have a friend who is injured, so I need the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) to leave me a carriage and three or four bodyguards to be at my service. I wonder if that's possible?"

Upon hearing this, the old镖头 immediately bowed and said, "That's not difficult. I can do it right now, right now."

As he spoke, the old镖头 immediately spurred his horse back, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that he had offended this formidable senior somewhere and might be in for a beating, but it turned out that was not the case. This relieved him. If all he needed was a carriage and two servants, that would be easy.

Thinking that the old head镖师 had returned and told them what had happened, the group of镖师 all had their own thoughts. This guy was so terrifying, what if they angered him and killed him?

They had all witnessed Chen Jie torturing Jiang Feng with his feet, which they considered an indication of Chen Jie's unpredictable temper. They worried that if they followed him, they might accidentally upset him and be easily killed.

They didn't want to mess with such a powerful person, so they all backed away.

The old镖师 (bodyguard/escort) understood this principle perfectly well, but his senior had asked for a carriage and three or four obedient porters. How could he dare not prepare them for his senior? Would he be tired of living?

So, there was no other way. At this moment, the old bodyguard looked around and thought to himself, even if he had to arrange a capable escort for his senior, he couldn't choose someone too bad. Otherwise, if his senior didn't like using them and came back to punish him, he wouldn't be able to stand it either.

Even a not-too-stupid guy might go and get himself killed.

The old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) looked at the group of镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) in front of him, and finally his gaze settled on a disciple who looked very honest.

This disciple was his personal disciple. The old man had two personal disciples in total. The elder disciple was honest and kind, while the younger disciple was clever and resourceful. He also had a daughter. So he was thinking of choosing one of these two disciples to inherit the escort agency.

This person could marry his own daughter and lead the escort agency forward; originally, the best choice for him would have been his eldest disciple.

However, the eldest disciple's strength is too weak, far inferior to the second disciple, so the successor of this escort agency still cannot be given to him.

Thinking this through, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) had already made up his mind. At this moment, the old镖头 spoke up: "Li Zhong, you take two porters, a few good horses, and a carriage, and listen to your senior's instructions."

Upon hearing this, some quick-witted individuals immediately understood that the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) had given up on Li Zhong. The second disciple's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. "It's all settled! Now Master's family business and that beautiful senior sister are all mine! It's all settled!"

Li Zhong wasn't stupid; he was just a bit kind-hearted. How could he not understand the old镖头's thoughts? At this moment, he looked up at the old镖头, who, upon hearing this, couldn't bear it and turned his head away.

Li Zhong did not refute, but simply clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Master, I will go right away."

Seeing Li Zhong like this, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) felt very bad. Watching Li Zhong leave, the old镖头 still couldn't bear to chase after him.

"Li Zhong!"

Li Zhong turned around and saw the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort), who sighed and said, "Zhong'er, your master actually..."

Li Zhongdao said, "Master goes without saying. Junior brother is more talented than me and is more suitable to inherit Master's mantle and also more suitable to be junior sister's husband."

Hearing this, the old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) looked at Li Zhong and sighed, saying, "Forgive your master's selfishness, but this is by no means a dead end. Although following the senior may implicate you, if you receive some guidance from the senior, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. This may be an opportunity. Danger and opportunity coexist. I hope you can seize it."

The old镖头 (bodyguard/escort) sighed, and Li Zhong clasped his hands in a fist salute before heading straight for Chen Jie! (End of Chapter)
