Eternal Sword

Chapter 483 Grand Master

Just let it go now?

Chen Tang was stunned.

He also thought that the old man had some follow-up measures.

But he stared at the river for a long time and saw no movement.

"What are you looking at?"

The old man asked with a smile.

"Senior, did you let that guy go?"

"Well, let it go."

"???"

Chen Tang was speechless for a moment.

Isn't this too hasty?
That is Changsheng Zhenjun, who has a very high status in the Nanxia Xuantian Sect and can be ranked among the top five.

If we let such a person go back to the mountains like this, he might become a serious threat in the future!
However, it was the old man who caught the man after all.

Besides, the old man just saved his life.

Naturally, the old man had the final say on how to deal with Changsheng Zhenjun. Although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything and just showed a trace of regret.

"how?"

The old man glanced at Chen Tang and asked, "But you just slapped him in the face, do you regret it now?"

"That's not true."

Chen Tang shrugged slightly and said, "Whether I beat him or not, we will still have to fight to the death when we meet in the future. But, if I had known that you were going to let him go, I would have searched him first and got some real benefits..."

Although Changsheng Zhenjun has not yet become a corpse, the consciousness of touching corpses cannot be changed.

"Body search, haha!"

The old man had never heard of this word, but he immediately understood it. He found it novel and interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that the old man was amiable, Chen Tang felt relieved, so he asked tentatively, "Senior, did you let him go just now in order to play the long game and catch a bigger fish?"

"It's just one reason."

The old man said this casually, but did not explain further.

Judging from what he implied, there must be other reasons.

Chen Tang thought for a moment and said, "This person may be a small fish in the eyes of the seniors, but if he is released, he may grow into a big fish in time, turning the world upside down and stirring up the storm."

"good."

The old man nodded and said, "This boy is ambitious and capable. He will become a great threat to Nanxia in the future. By that time, all of us will be old."

"Then why did you let him go, Senior?"

Chen Tang couldn't help but ask.

The old man turned to look at Chen Tang and said with a smile: "Nanxia still has you. He is a big fish, and you are a fierce tiger."

Chen Tang was shocked.

The old man said this very seriously, his eyes full of expectation.

"Senior really thinks highly of me."

Chen Tang was naturally happy to get the old man's approval, but when he thought of the gap between him and Changsheng Zhenjun, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, the fishing rod in the old man's hand moved.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a big, fat fish was actually caught under the fishing rod!

"Ha ha!"

The old man was very happy and laughed, "You've taken the bait!"

He put away the fishing rod and threw the big fish into the fish basket. He jumped down from the bluestone and handed the fish basket to Chen Tang, saying, "I'll give you this fish. Use it to replenish your body. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, the old man turned and walked towards the woods.

The old man behaves strangely and always unexpectedly.

Without saying a few words, he suddenly wanted to leave.

Chen Tang took the fish basket and bowed to the old man, saying, "Junior Chen Tang, thank you for saving my life. I haven't asked for your name yet..."

The old man didn't answer and walked towards the forest.

It seemed to be moving slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it was about to enter the forest. Chen Tang used his body skills and quickly chased after it.

After chasing into the forest, there was no trace of the old man!

There was silence all around, no one was around, and the old man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Chen Tang stood there, silent and thoughtful.

He had only seen such a method in one person who could capture a Yuanying Zhenjun and a Grandmaster so easily.

Emperor Wu!

In other words, this old man is most likely a grandmaster who has reached the state of transformation.

There are only a few great masters in the world.

I’m afraid the only grandmaster of Nanxia is the one in Jiange.

If it was really the Nanxia Sword Sect, Chen Tang could think of a reason why he let Changsheng Zhenjun go.

Of course, this is just Chen Tang's guess.

After all, the nine sects of the world mentioned by Emperor Wu happened decades ago.

After so many years, it is very likely that some of the former masters have broken through their realms and cultivated to the highest level.

Chen Tang suddenly thought of the fish basket the old man had just given him, and his heart was moved.

The old man has a free and easy temperament, but his words often contain hidden meanings and deeper meanings.

Before leaving, the old man gave him this big fish so that he could replenish his body. Could it be that there is some opportunity in this big fish...

Thinking of this, Chen Tang's eyes lit up, his heart was burning, and he quickly turned around and pulled out the big fish.

After slaughtering the fish by the river and cleaning it, I searched its belly for a long time but couldn't find any secret recipes or panaceas.

Chen Tang was not discouraged. He was not in a hurry to fill his stomach and went back into the woods.

We have not yet completely escaped the crisis. There is no cover on the river bank, so our whereabouts are easily exposed.

It is better to find a secluded place first, settle down, and then make plans.

Chen Tang walked through the forest for about half an hour. It was already completely dark when he found a cave deep in the vines at the foot of a barren mountain.

He used his long knife to cut a narrow passage and crawled in.

He chopped some dry firewood from outside, made a fire in the cave to boil water, found a branch, pierced the fish's belly, and slowly roasted it over the fire.

Before long, the aroma of roasting filled the air, along with the sound of sizzling.

Chen Tang had been swimming at the bottom of the river for most of the day and was already starving.

Looking at the cooked grilled fish, Chen Tang's appetite was aroused. Regardless of the heat, he tore off a large piece of the roasted and charred fish skin and stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, his mouth was filled with grease and the aroma exploded on the tip of his tongue.

In a short while, Chen Tang had eaten up the whole grilled fish.

Is this gone?

Chen Tang felt it a little.

This big fish is just an ordinary river fish.

After eating it, apart from filling the stomach, it doesn't seem to have any effect on healing internal injuries or enhancing decades of martial arts skills.

It's okay as long as it can fill my stomach.

Chen Tang calmed himself down, took out a human skin mask from his arms, put it on his face, and carefully pressed it on the edges of his cheeks. He stopped only when he found no flaws.

In the blink of an eye, he became a burly middle-aged man.

It's not enough to just fake your own death and get away.

As long as he shows up, he will still be targeted.

Only by changing your appearance can you avoid being noticed.

After fleeing with Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li, Chen Tang never wore this mask.

It was because he was not sure at that time whether Tianyin from the Dongyi tribe was spying nearby.

If his every move was under the watchful eyes of Tianyin, this human skin mask would be of no use at all and would instead expose his trump card.

During the day, he fought with Tian Yin of the Dongyi tribe at the bottom of the river, and only then was this hidden danger completely eliminated.

After completing his preparations, Chen Tang began to enter a state of visualization while adopting a meditation-like healing posture. He practiced the Kunxi Method of breathing while using the Vajra Relics to heal his internal injuries and conserve his energy.
