Chapter 123: The Stubbornness of the Strong

Chapter 123 – The Stubbornness of the Strong
Chen Fei looked at the monk and always felt as if this monk was down. Until now, Chen Fei did not quite understand what kind of existence this monk was.

A split soul of some existence? Remnants? Or maybe it was the spirit of this heart bead?

After a quarter of an hour, when Chen Fei was thinking about whether or not to directly climb up and take down the heart bead, the monk finally made a move.

“Sleeve Qiankun? Scholar’s good tactics, poor monk is ashamed of himself.” The monk smiled as he looked at Chen Fei, his face having returned to its previous bland appearance.

“Then I am considered to have passed the test?” Chen Fei hurriedly asked.

“Yes, the mage has passed the test, and this heart bead is now the mage’s.” The monk nodded, and with a gentle move of his right hand, the heart bead on the stone tower flew to Chen Fei, who subconsciously caught it.

“Scholar, we will meet again sometime!” The monk made a bow, and the surroundings began to tremble violently, about to shatter.

“Wait, this heart bead if I destroy it, is the heart formation broken?” Chen Fei asked after him.

“The heart formation will only break if all three heart beads are destroyed at the same time.”

The monk’s voice came somewhat indistinctly, Chen Fei looked around again and realized that he was standing in the same place, where was there any stone tower monk around, as if everything was just an illusion.

Only this copper bead in his hand, understandably told Chen Fei that everything was true just now.

“Huh, this heart bead, it’s already broken ah.”

Chen Fei looked down at the heart bead in his hand, there were already many cracks on it. Chen Fei couldn’t help but think of Fang Qinghong, I’m afraid that it was because of the problems with the heart bead that the other party was able to have those actions.

Chen Fei sensed those black spots not far away, and carefully withdrew tens of meters first, stopping within a courtyard, carefully observing the heart bead in his hand.

“Is this writing?”

Chen Fei rubbed the lines on the heart bead, obviously not recognizing it at all, but as Chen Fei lightly swiped over the lines one by one, his heart actually understood the meaning on the text.

“Magical!”

Chen Fei sighed in his heart, not being able to understand the exact principle of this array weapon was far beyond Chen Fei’s knowledge reserve. And there is one thing about this pattern, it is very similar to the Zhen Long Xiang that he got at the beginning, that is, not after a while, what he just saw, he forgot again.

“All things that are more powerful have this kind of characteristic?”

Chen Fei was puzzled, if it was someone else who came here, I’m afraid they would be blind. This kind of read and forget, must have a very high degree of enlightenment, as well as perseverance of the heart, I’m afraid that the meaning of these words can be memorized.

Fortunately, Chen Fei had a panel.

As Chen Fei wiped over each of the lines, although Chen Fei didn’t know what all he had looked at, after Chen Fei wiped over the heart bead once in its entirety, a slight change occurred on the panel.

[Formation: Heart Formation Mutilated]

“There should be a control maneuver on each heart bead, but it’s too late nowadays, and that person can probably sense that the heart beads have been moved.”

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and had a bit of a plan in his heart, now was the time to take a bit of a risk and go back to find Fang Qinghong again.

Chen Fei pondered for a moment, made up his mind and started running towards that compound. After spending two quarters of an hour, Chen Fei carefully arrived in the courtyard.

“Buzz!”

Just as Chen Fei arrived, a sensation of heavenly rotation came, and when Chen Fei opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the middle of that closed cave.

“Hahaha, good, well done!”

Fang Qinghong looked at the heart bead in Chen Fei’s hand and laughed loudly, with a move of his right hand, the heart bead flew towards Fang Qinghong at once.

Fang Qinghong looked at the heart bead in his hand, the smile on his face could not be suppressed as he looked up at Chen Fei and said, “You really didn’t let me down, otherwise all these people, including you, would have died! But now, since you have retrieved a heart bead, I can fulfill my promise and let two people leave!”

“Let them go first!”

Ge Hongjie looked up at Chen Fei and said in a deep voice.

“Let me go, let me go first, I’m injured, let me go!” The two of them, Lu Haiyan, shouted loudly, struggling desperately.

“Let Senior Brother Ge and Senior Brother Mu go first, Chen Fei, I’ll stay and accompany you.” Zhang Fangqiong smiled and said.

“No need, let senior brother and sister go first.” Mu Langtao exclaimed.

“I’m the captain, listen to me!”

Ge Hongjie said forcefully, his gaze looking at Chen Fei with a hint of pleading in his eyes, hoping that Chen Fei could agree to his request. As the captain, there was never a reason to run first, this was the belief Ge Hongjie had always fulfilled.

“Let them go first!”

Chen Fei nodded and pointed at Zhang Fangqiong and Mu Langtao.

“Good!”

Fang Qinghong laughed loudly and actually kept his promise, waving with his hand, Zhang Fangqiong and Mu Langtao both disappeared into thin air.

A smile appeared on Ge Hongjie’s face as he nodded at Chen Fei.

“Step up and go get the second heart bead and come back!” Fang Qinghong looked at Chen Fei, his finger pointed forward, and another stream of light flashed, not entering Chen Fei’s dantian.

Chen Fei’s body couldn’t help but stiffen, frowning as he looked at Fang Qinghong, saying, “What is the meaning of this!”

“It’s just to strengthen your control over you a little, don’t worry, as long as the heart beads are all retrieved, I will naturally let you leave peacefully.” Fang Qinghong laughed indifferently.

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed as he glanced back at Ge Hongjie, and his person disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already in the middle of the courtyard, and Zhang Fang Qiong and the two of them were also here.

“Senior brother Chen, you should have let senior brother Ge come out.” Zhang Fangqiong looked at Chen Fei and whispered.

“You guys go over to the city gates first and wait for me, I will get Senior Brother Ge out.” Chen Fei said in a deep voice.

Zhang Fangqiong and the two of them couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that they couldn’t change anything now, they said take care and the two of them disappeared into the courtyard.

Chen Fei stood still and recognized the direction, rushing towards the location of the second heart bead, while various thoughts continued to turn in his mind.

Fang Qinghong’s strength was undoubtedly very terrifying, but terrifying as it was, it was not to the extent of being omnipotent. When Chen Fei was in front of Fang Qinghong, he was still worried about whether the fae energy in his mind would be discovered as it became less.

But across the flesh and blood, Fang Qinghong did not find this, he only perceived that the energy was still there, as for the amount, it was not obvious to notice.

The only thing, why Fang Qinghong would again put another fae energy, into Chen Fei’s body, made Chen Fei very puzzled.

After running for hundreds of meters, Chen Fei stopped within an alleyway. Sensing the fae energy in his dantian location, Chen Fei began to operate the Zhen Dragon Elephant.

As soon as the Zhen Dragon Elephant moved, the fae energy began to tremble, and seemed to have detected a hint of something wrong, and just as it was about to counter it, it was swarmed by the power of the Zhen Dragon Elephant and ripped away ninety-nine percent of it, with only a minuscule bit still remaining.

And with the absorption of this fae energy, a stream of images actually surfaced in the middle of Chen Fei’s mind, Chen Fei’s expression couldn’t help but fluctuate slightly, he actually saw a fragment of Fang Qinghong’s life.

At the age of ten, he had the chance to come into contact with martial arts by chance, and showed an extremely high level of talent.

At the age of thirteen, he joined a small sect and soared to the top, reaching the Viscera Practicing Realm at the age of sixteen, becoming the youngest Viscera Practicing Realm within the sect.

At the age of seventeen, he went out and searched for the technique for practicing the Orifices Realm, and at the age of twenty, within a cave, he discovered a secret book left behind by his predecessor, and at the age of twenty-four, he measured the orifices and broke through the Orifices Realm.

At the age of twenty-five, he returned to the sect, suppressed all opposition, and became the head of the sect.

At the age of twenty-seven, he was brutal and masochistic, and fought with a strong person of the same rank, and escaped without being defeated.

At the age of thirty, he discovered the Wind Trickery Realm.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, this memory fragment ended here, surprisingly, Chen Fei had wanted to see why the other party was sealed here.

In the remaining memory fragment, Chen Fei only saw Fang Qinghong fighting with a Creepy.

“Why are there memory fragments in this fae energy?”

Chen Fei looked a little puzzled, then thought of a possibility and his face couldn’t help but change slightly.

Taking over the body! Or rather, it was the refining of a doppelganger puppet that made it possible to take a portion of a memory and punch it into someone else’s body, taking root in an invisible manner, and then sparking it out when the need arose.

Chen Fei thought of Fang Qinghong’s half-human, half-creepy status quo, seizing him has a little possibility, but more, it may be refining the split puppet, after all, Chen Fei in Fang Qinghong’s eyes, belongs to the kind of foundation that is well laid.

“Nowadays, there is no forceful control over me, probing my body, it is estimated that I still want to let me obediently retrieve the heart bead, and do not want to stimulate me excessively.”

Chen Fei frowned tightly, this Fang Qinghong unloading things, it is estimated that he has not been doing less, nowadays targeting Chen Fei, the technique is also skillful and natural.

If it wasn’t for the Zhen Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei really didn’t have any way at all. Those fae energy, Fang Qinghong as long as set a time, ordinary martial artists will be worse than death, in the end still have to obediently go back.

Because there are times when death is not the most frightening, but seeking death is!

A few thoughts turned in his mind, Chen Fei began to rush towards the location of the second heart bead, but in a few moments, he arrived at the specific area.

Chen Fei perceived, similar to the first heart bead location, this place was still surrounded by a huge number of black spots, belonging to the rhythm that whoever went hard would die.

Chen Fei stimulated the fae energy in his mind, a layer of ripples appeared in front of Chen Fei, Chen Fei took a step in and saw the same stone tower with the heart bead on it.

Chen Fei didn’t climb up again this time, so he waited quietly. Sure enough, in just a few moments, the illusion around him completely changed, and a monk appeared there, looking at Chen Fei with a smile on his face.

“Scholar, hello again.” The monk bowed to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly, sure enough, it was the same monk that appeared during the first Heart Bead.

“What is the test this time?” Chen Fei asked as he opened the door.

“Please also ask the monk to demonstrate the maneuver just now once more, the poor monk wants to see it again!” The monk smiled.

Chen Fei blinked his eyes for a moment, so persistent? to want to get right back up where he fell. Was this the realization of a strong man, or was it simply stubbornness, or was it just a kind of arrogance?
“No problem!”

This kind of request, Chen Fei had absolutely no reason to refuse.
