Chapter 48: My Little Brother, You've Finally Come

Luying's body felt as if it had been shattered, and she collapsed to the ground, feeling a fiery pain on her cheeks.

The sky had turned gloomy at some point.

A sudden drizzle began, starting with just a few drops.

But soon, it became denser, with raindrops falling on the ground, stirring up the dust and splashing onto her body and face.

In the curtain of rain, she struggled to lift her eyes.

In the distance, she saw a figure dressed in a moon-white robe, walking towards her step by step, enlarging in her pupils.

In the next moment.

The figure stood in front of her, extending a pair of slender, fair, and distinctively jointed hands, forcefully grabbing her hair, ignoring her pain and struggles, dragging her up from the ground as if dragging a dead dog.

A voice as gentle as jade sounded in her ear.

"Whether you believe it or not, even if I kill you here, your father in the Nirvana realm wouldn't dare seek revenge from me."

"On the contrary, if I kill you here, once the news reaches the Chen family, in order to eliminate the threat, they will suppress your father first."

Luying's throat rolled, and she struggled to raise her head, meeting the gaze of the handsome face with narrow eyes and a faint smile.

For some reason, she felt a chill running from her spine to the top of her head.

"I..." She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

This guy really might kill her!!

"So, be smarter."

"The first lesson in life is to learn to recognize your position and strength."

"If I hear you gossiping again, I'll send you and your father to the Western Heaven together."

Chen Zhixing lightly patted Luying's cheek with his palm.

In the next moment.

Amidst Luying's pale expression, a blue light emanated from her wrist, enveloping her entire body.

Luying instantly disappeared, being teleported out of this trial ground.

Chen Zhixing stood up and turned to look at a dense jungle where intense energy fluctuations kept emanating.

"In this world, there are always people who think they are in control, blindly confident."

Chen Zhixing muttered to himself and walked towards the jungle.

"If you keep calling for me every day, so be it. As you wish."

Meanwhile.

In the Southern Region, not far from the Chen family's trial ground.

Inside an abandoned temple.

Sizzle.

Brilliant white patterns appeared on the ground.

In the next moment.

Two figures appeared out of thin air on the patterns.

"We've finally arrived."

Mo Qingyue let out a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, there is a teleportation array within the Daoist sect that leads directly to the Southern Region. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it in time."

Then.

Mo Qingyue looked at Perfected Being Fei Long beside her with a smile. "Let's go."

Perfected Being Fei Long raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Your Highness, are you so confident that you won't lose?"

Mo Qingyue shook her head, her face determined. "It's not that I'm confident that I won't lose, but that I will definitely win."

"That guy has never let me down."

Upon hearing this, Perfected Being Fei Long narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? I'm really curious. This is the first time I've heard Your Highness speak so highly of someone."

Mo Qingyue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling faintly without answering.

In the next moment.

The two figures looked towards the Chen family's trial ground, gradually fading away and disappearing from the temple.

Meanwhile.

Above the trial ground, in the sea of clouds.

A vine chair was placed on a deck.

Chen Tian reclined on the vine chair with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping a cup of steaming spiritual tea from time to time.

Behind him stood a group of Chen family disciples who had been eliminated from the trial.

Sizzle.

A beam of light flashed, and Luying's figure appeared on the deck.

"Hmm? Miss Luying?"

Chen Tian looked at the miserable-looking Luying and was immediately shocked. "Who is this person? How could they be so ruthless?"

"Elder Zhao, quickly, give Miss Luying a Spiritual Treasure Pill."

"Yes, Fourth Master."

Elder Zhang Guang, with white hair and beard, quickly took out a Spiritual Treasure pill from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Ying to take.

As soon as the Spiritual Treasure pill entered her stomach, Lu Ying's complexion immediately improved.

"Miss Lu Ying, tell me, who hurt you so badly? Let Uncle Chen take care of it!" Chen Tianchen hurriedly said.

Lu Ying's expression was complicated, and she shook her head gently.

No matter how Chen Tianchen pressed her for answers, she remained silent until finally she whispered, "Uncle Tianchen, please don't ask."

Chen Tianchen nodded. He didn't have a good impression of Lu Ying to begin with, especially when he learned that Lu Ying had scolded Chen Zhixing in front of the main hall of the family. He was furious.

Chen Zhixing was his own nephew!

How could he tolerate someone humiliating him?

If he hadn't been absent from the main hall that day, he would have definitely confronted this girl.

But now that the incident had passed, it would seem petty and embarrassing to dwell on it. That's why he asked, just for the sake of appearances.

After all, Lu Yuan was currently in an alliance with the Chen family. As the person in charge of this trial, if he ignored Lu Ying's injuries, it would make him, as the elder, appear ignorant of etiquette.

But since Lu Ying had said so herself, he decided to let it go.

"Considering the time, is this trial almost over?" Chen Tianchen changed the subject and looked at Elder Zhang Guang. "Who is still in the trial grounds?"

"Fourth Master, currently there are only three people left in the entire trial grounds. They are Zhaosheng, Zhixing, and a collateral descendant named Chen Chou'er," Elder Zhang Guang replied.

Pausing for a moment, Elder Zhang Guang continued, "According to the position shown on the wristbands, Zhaosheng and Chen Chou'er are together, but as for Zhixing..."

Elder Zhang Guang sighed and said, "Since the first day he entered the trial grounds, Zhixing moved a little and then stopped at a certain location. He hasn't moved since."

Chen Tianchen laughed when he heard this. "Haha, Zhixing is a smart guy. He must know that he's no match for anyone else, so he found a place to hide."

"As for Zhaosheng and Chen Chou'er..." Chen Tianchen frowned. As the head of the Chen family's main branch and the master of the Fourth Peak, he naturally knew about the relationship between Chen Chou'er and Chen Zhaosheng.

For a moment, he had a vague idea of what was going on.

"Chen Chou'er, he's a pitiful person," Chen Tianchen shook his head and said, "Let's wait for another half an hour and end this trial."

"Yes," Elder Zhang Guang nodded.

At the same time, at the trial grounds by the lake.

In the pouring rain.

Chen Zhaosheng stood in the air, his black hair dancing, and his eyes constantly flickering with a sharp light.

"You're nothing but trash."

"Have you realized the difference between us? Your so-called efforts and everything else are insignificant compared to absolute talent," Chen Zhaosheng looked down and coldly spoke.

Beside the lake.

A figure knelt weakly on the soft muddy ground, supporting himself with a broken sword. Blood kept flowing from his chest, mixing with the rainwater, gradually forming a pool of blood beneath him.

Crack, crack.

The half mask covering his face, like a shattered mirror falling to the ground, was instantly covered in countless cracks before shattering.

Under the mask was a terrifying face covered in black and grim patterns.

"How ugly," Chen Zhaosheng shook his head and sneered, "As a rat in the gutter, you should live in the darkness and not try to change your fate. No matter how hard a rat tries, it's still just a rat."

"Put away your naive thoughts and listen to your mother's words. Play the role of a servant well in the Chen family."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out from the silent depths of the dense forest.

In the next moment...

"Hmm, what a wonderful speech."

A figure dressed in a moon-white robe stepped out of the deep forest step by step.

When Chen Zhaosheng heard the voice, his pupils contracted, and then a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips.

"My brother, you've finally come."
