Chapter 737
Wei Chen never said that he had a backer, but those were all rumors. Moreover, the mayor of his city did ask someone to take care of Wei Chen's shop. It was just that more than three thousand years had passed since the beginning, so some people believed that he had a backer at first. But now they think it's all fake. If he really had a backer, how could he live such a poor life?
Wei Chen spat and said, "If you want to fight or kill me, just come at me. You don't need my support. I, Wei Chen alone, am enough to deal with you!"
It would be a humiliation for Sanwei to call him over in a big way. These guys are not worth Sanwei's personal trip. Wei Chen is definitely not a pedantic person. When his life is at stake, he will not stick to the dogma and refuse to ask for help.
The cultivator surnamed Zhao was furious: "Brothers, since Fellow Daoist Wei looks down on us so much, let's show him some of our strength!"
"That's right, Wei Chen, hand over the Green Fish Jade and we can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
These cultivators ignored their previous friendship and used ruthless tactics against Wei Chen while shouting and surrounding him, wanting to make sure that Wei Chen had nowhere to escape. Anyway, they were not in the city now, so what if Wei Chen had a backer? After they killed him and took the Green Fish Jade, and never returned to the city, would his backer still hunt them down for him?
Besides, they believed it was just a lie.
Wei Chen was fighting hard with them while trying to find a way to escape. He was a shop owner and had a lot of defensive and offensive magic weapons and talismans on him, which he threw out as if they were immortal stones. The besieging monks were helpless against him for a while.
Monk Zhao was so jealous that his eyes were blazing with anger. Wei Chen's life was indeed better than theirs. If he hadn't accidentally discovered that the pattern Wei Chen was studying looked like the Green Fish Jade he had seen, Wei Chen would have definitely gone off alone to find the Green Fish Palace and taken it all for himself. How could he have ever thought of his friends and brothers? So don't blame him for being ruthless and cruel.
"I want to see how much you have to consume. Hand over the Green Fish Jade and I will spare your life!" The cultivator named Zhao shouted while continuing to attack.
Wei Chen did not relax his vigilance at all and sneered in his heart. If he really handed over the Qingyu Jue, these people would kill him when he was not prepared. He knew these people's thoughts very well, because he had seen too many faces of this kind of people since he started practicing.
Wei Chen finally blasted open a gap and took the opportunity to run. Those people shouted, "Oh no, hurry up and chase him. Don't let him get away."
This attack of Wei Chen consumed most of his immortal energy, and he held on tightly. Wei Chen gritted his teeth. He also had a secret technique that could burn his essence, blood, and potential to escape. However, it would cause great damage to his cultivation, and it would take a lot of time to recover. Therefore, he did not want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. However, looking at the current situation, he had to use it.
Wei Chen gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth, preparing to use the secret technique. At this moment, a sigh came from the air, shocking everyone. Could it be that they were so engrossed in the fight that they didn't even notice someone approaching them? Or was it that the person who appeared was more powerful than them, and they wouldn't have noticed unless he made a deliberate sound?
The hairs on both sides stood up.
The cultivator surnamed Zhao's eyes rolled, and he quickly pointed at Wei Chen and said, "This senior has the Green Fish Jade on him. The Green Fish Jade is an important key to enter the Green Fish Palace. The Green Fish Palace is the mansion left behind by the Green Fish Immortal Monarch. It is said that there are many treasures left inside. We will present this treasure to you, senior!"
Wei Chen felt like vomiting blood after hearing this. These shameless bastards couldn't get what they wanted, and yet they turned around and sold him out.
Another voice came from the air: "Really? But as far as I know, the Green Fish Jade belongs to Wei Chen. I will ask Wei Chen for it. What can you give in exchange for your lives?"
Wei Chen gradually recovered from his initial shock, and a strange look of joy flashed in his eyes. Hearing this voice, could it be... the two masters of the Three-Tailed Brothers? When did they come? Because he found that the other party called Wei Chen's name with a familiar tone, thinking about it, it could only be the Three-Tailed Brothers who came.
The monk surnamed Zhao and the others changed their expressions when they heard this. This person wanted to kill them without even showing his face? Who was this person? The monk surnamed Zhao pretended to be angry and said, "We decided to offer the Green Jade Jue to you because we respect you, but if you refuse to let us go, then we will fight you to the end!"
However, he was thinking in his mind that if the opponent's strength was only slightly higher than theirs, he would seize the opportunity to use Wei Chen to escape. After it was safe, he would spread the news about Qingyu Jue and see what would happen to Wei Chen and the guy hiding in the dark. The cultivator named Zhao was the kind of person who thought, "If I don't get any benefits, you can't get any either." He couldn't bear to see others living better than him.
Another sneer came from the air, followed by a faint smile: "Don't you know that Wei Chen is the one we protect? You want to see Wei Chen's backer, so we are here to fulfill your wish."
Wei Chen was overjoyed and stared at the sky with his eyes fixed. Sure enough, they were coming!
At this time, four figures appeared in the air. However, among the four figures, Wei Chen only recognized one familiar face, that was Sanwei. However, when he looked at two of them, although their faces looked different, he dared to bet his life that they were the two Taoist friends Yuan Jing and Ning Yan whom he met in the lower world.
Those cultivators were horrified. They had not expected that Wei Chen really had a backer. After these people showed up, their auras also emanated. Each of them had a stronger aura than them. How could they not be afraid? While cultivator Zhao was afraid, he also felt angry. He had tried to find out whether Wei Chen had a backer several times, but Wei Chen did not tell him the truth. Damn it, if he knew that Wei Chen had a backer, how could he have attacked him?
"Let's escape!" The cultivator surnamed Zhao sent a message to the others at the same time, and then they flew out in different directions. He was betting that those people would not be able to keep them all, so he still had a chance to escape. After escaping, he would leave Yunhuang Immortal Realm. Could it be that these people had the power to find him out? By then, the world would be so big, and he would find a chance to get back at Wei Chen one day.
Yuan Jing snapped his fingers, and several rainbow lights that escaped in different directions suddenly hit an invisible wall, bounced back, and all fell to the ground with a thud. Several monks did not care about the embarrassment and begged for mercy, hoping that Yuan Jing would spare their lives.
Yuan Jing and his friends came to visit Wei Chen to reminisce about the past, but who could have imagined that they would run into such a scene. They found Wei Chen's shop, but learned that Wei Chen and his friends were out for training, so they searched for a while and happened to find him being besieged by his so-called friends.
Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu landed on the ground and said to Wei Chen, who was still looking at them with surprise, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you will handle these people."
"Okay, I'll take care of them first, and I'll talk to you later." Wei Chen clasped his fists and thanked the few people. These guys, especially the one with the surname Zhao, really wanted to kill him. Wei Chen ignored their pleas for mercy and curses, and took their lives without any hesitation.
If he really let them go, he would have no peace unless he revealed who his backers were. To avoid future troubles, he would have no choice but to kill them all.
After handling it, Wei Chen said happily: "Why don't we go back to the city and find a restaurant to sit down and have a drink and chat."
"good."
Several people returned to the city together. Wei Chen felt emotional. He almost couldn't come back to this city and his small shop. He was looking forward to the arrival of Yuan Jing and others. He really felt that it was time to celebrate their reunion.
On the way, Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu reintroduced their identities, as well as their grandfather Wantinggu. Wei Chen accepted this new identity very directly, without even asking why the identity had changed, Ning Yan became Yue Chenchu, because he had long expected that the origins of these two people were mysterious, and no matter what they were called, they were still the two Taoist friends in the lower world.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Wei Chen toasted them first, both for their reunion and for their timely appearance to save his life. He said happily: "When did you come? If I had known, I would have gone to Brother Sanwei to look for you first. It's not easy to have a few old friends around you in the fairy world. Then everyone dispersed."
Not only did the people disperse, but their hearts also dispersed. They could no longer gather together to discuss Taoism like they did in the lower world.
At this time, ten years had passed since Yuan Jing and his companions went into seclusion. Yuan Jing was no longer the half-grown boy he used to be, but a young boy. However, he still looked very young when standing next to Yue Chenchu. Because he practiced too fast, the growth rate of his body slowed down. There was nothing he could do but wait for the head to grow up slowly.
Wan Tinggu thought it was just right, otherwise he would grow up too fast and he would not be able to accept that his grandson had suddenly become an adult. The way he looks now is just right.
Now when Yuan Jing and Sanwei stand together, they look more like two brothers of the same age.
Yuan Jing also saluted him and said, "I have been in the fairyland for more than 20 years, but I couldn't come to Yunhuang Fairyland to find Sanwei before. After I came here, I retreated for a while. Otherwise, I couldn't do it outside with my previous cultivation. Now, after coming out of retreat, we brought Sanwei to find you, Brother Wei."
Yue Chenchu smiled and said, "My situation is more complicated than his. Fellow Daoist Wei will know my situation when he has the chance."
Wei Chen didn't ask any more questions, he finished his glass of wine and said, "Okay."
"By the way, I'll give this Green Fish Jade to you. I don't know if those bastards have any backup plans, and it's not safe for me to keep it." Wei Chen took out the Green Fish Jade. He actually bought it from the shop by accident. He found that the pattern on the jade jade was a bit strange, so he looked through a lot of books before he found out that it was related to the Green Jade Fairy Palace. Before he could take any further action, he was suspected by the man named Zhao.
"Green Fish Palace? Then let's go and explore it together after we have some wine and food, so that no one will have any other ideas."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Wei Chen did not refuse. With Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu's cultivation level now, they would not plot against them. It would only be safer to follow them into the Green Fish Immortal Palace.
