Chapter 341: Chapter 228 Shortcut and Xiang Li Appears

Translator: 549690339

Whoosh—

A black shadow darted rapidly through the rainforest.

Chen Sheng was dressed in a black robe.

He had taken the clothes from a follower of the Holy Sect in the underground flesh pit.

With each transformation, he had to explode a set of clothes.

For Chen Sheng, it was quite troublesome. Unfortunately,

So far, he hadn’t come up with a good solution.

As he moved, Chen Sheng took out his phone.

While underground, he had always been very careful to protect his phone, fearing he might break it and not be able to contact the Vermilion Bird afterwards.

Now that he was hack in the ground

his phone’s signal was finally restored.

He sent a message to the Vermilion Bird right away. [C: Mission completed beyond expectations]

[Lone Wolf: ???]

[What did you do, kid…?]

Seeing the eye-catching word “beyond expectations” on the screen,

a terrible feeling rose in Vermilion Bird’s heart as he received a massage at the clubhouse.

[C: I killed the third disciple of Yihe Gate] [Lone Wolf: What happened next?]

[C: Also killed the Power Sect guy conveniently] [Strictly speaking, I didn’t kill him, he was already dead when I beat him]

Vermilion Bird jumped up from the massage water bed.

With a puzzled look on his face, he waved his hand at the masseuse.

“Leave me alone.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Vermilion Bird was a respected diamond supreme ultimate VIP at the massage parlor.

The masseuse knew better than to ignore his words.

She retreated immediately with a frightened expression, then hurriedly left the room.

Not knowing the reason, the masseuse thought her poor service had upset Vermilion Bird. Now she was rushing to find a manager with whom she had a good relationship to help plead on her behalf.

Otherwise,

serving such a high-ranking guest poorly could result in the lightest punishment of being fired.

Vermilion Bird didn’t know what the masseuse was thinking about, though.

He just stared intently at his phone screen, looking serious.

Meanwhile, his fingers swiftly moved across the screen. [Lone Wolf: What about the others from the martial arts association?] [Big Brother, please don’t tell me you’re the only one left alive]

[C: No, aside from the two disciples of Yihe Gate and Power Sect, the others should survive]

At that point,

Vermilion Bird finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, it wasn’t the worst possible outcome.

Otherwise,

If everyone else(perhaps use: all the others) died on Chen Sheng’s first mission except for him, it would be hard to explain to the Holy Sect Sect Leader.

[With reports from both the martial arts association and Holy Sect, it shouldn’t be a problem]

[If anything unusual happens, contact me]

Vermilion Bird informed Chen Sheng of the relevant details and possibilities, and repeatedly told him to send a signal right away if anything seemed off.

[C: Okay]

After replying to Vermilion Bird,

Chen Sheng put his phone away.

He couldn’t help but let out a small sound of annoyance.

Feeling somewhat frustrated,

he couldn’t face the respected elder Xiang Li directly and had to carefully probe their message while being constantly cautious.

That feeling, made Chen Sheng extremely unhappy.

He was just an ordinary person.

Without any exceptional wisdom or strategies.

To get to where he was today, all he had to rely on was his strong ability.

Crushing every enemy in his path.

However, he knew clearly, that if he didn’t probe the strengths of his opponents, he couldn’t accurately gauge how far apart he was from the two of them. When it would be time for his opponents to launch their surprise attack,

If he wasn’t strong enough and didn’t have advance knowledge of the specific time of the attack, he could be caught off guard.

A careless move could even endanger his life.

Chen Sheng hated this feeling.

What method… could he use to figure out the true strengths of the Respected Elder and Li Wuji?

He wore a contemplative expression.

It would be great if these two could just show up and fight him.

But this opportunity—

Huh?

Chen Sheng seemed to suddenly have an idea.

An opportunity faintly appeared in his mind.

Maybe… he could lure Xiang Li into his trap.

With this in mind,

Chen Sheng continued on his way while taking out his phone and joined the group chat of the family of love.

He shared his plan and asked for the opinions of Vermilion Bird and Li Wuji.

One hour later.

Kyoto.

Shen Butong Transportation Company Park.

“Mister, this area is private property, and you cannot enter without permission.”

The security guard on duty was not the same one from the early morning.

He didn’t recognize Chen Sheng, who had just become Xuanwu less than half a day ago.

Moreover, this time Vermilion Bird didn’t accompany him.

As a result,

As soon as Chen Sheng arrived at the entrance and was about to enter,

He was stopped by the security guard.

Despite his friendly demeanor,

Chen Sheng could tell the guard’s body was slightly tense.

He seemed very nervous.

It was just as Vermilion Bird had said.

All the employees at the headquarters of Shen Butong were members of the Holy Sect.

In the past,

Very few unfamiliar faces came here.

At first sight of Chen Sheng and his natural aura of power, the security guard felt as if he were facing a terrifying beast.

It was easy to suspect that this visitor had ulterior motives.

As for this,

Chen Sheng didn’t bother to say much.

He simply lifted his collar slightly to reveal the token hanging by his side.

Upon seeing the token,

The security guard’s face changed instantly.

“I deserve to die!”

He immediately bowed and respectfully stepped aside.

Only now, his trembling became even more pronounced.

Chen Sheng didn’t say anything else.

He simply walked past the security guard and headed inside.

Following the route he had taken in the early morning, he went straight to the small building in the depths of the park.

He got on the elevator.

He looked at the password that Vermilion Bird had sent to his phone.

Soon,

The elevator went all the way down.

When it opened again, it was pitch black.

Five minutes later.

The cave where the Holy Sect Sect Leader was. As soon as Chen Sheng stepped in, he glanced around.

White Tiger and Azure Dragon were nowhere to be found.

But next to the Holy Sect Sect Leader,

There was an additional figure.

A burly figure.

He was clad in a black robe that concealed his entire body, seemingly not wanting his identity to be known.

Unfortunately for him,

Chen Sheng had the Eye of True View.

His gaze fell on the man in the black robe.

The attribute panel of the man immediately appeared.

[Xiang Li] [Strength: 2143] [Agility: 1832]

[Constitution: 1988] [Realm: Heavenly Authority Stage] [Skills: Nuclear Fist LV4]

Chen Sheng was overjoyed. As soon as he thought of having a nap,

Someone delivered a pillow.

He had been wanting to fight Xiang Li and see the difference in their strengths.

And now, the man had come to him of his own volition.

This was… truly… wonderful..
