CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 282: STRONG INTERACTION FORCES

It has been confirmed that Deng Chanyu intends to persist in her cultivation journey. Nezha believes that the best way to help her escape this tribulation is to take her and flee.

He is thankful that he isn’t someone adept at making friends, otherwise, if the entire Investiture of the Gods list were filled with his friends, it would be quite troublesome.

Nezha shared his thoughts with her, suggesting she hide for a few years. After the Chengtang army is defeated and Xiqi counterattacks and captures Sanshan Pass, she can emerge and avoid this disaster.

But Deng Chanyu replied that since Nezha is an Outer Heaven Demon, his actions are unbound by the Heavenly Dao, and now that he has left Xiqi, why not seek refuge with Chengtang? Perhaps he could achieve something there.

Nezha scoffed at the idea, thinking to himself, "Seek refuge with Chengtang? Approach Yin Jiao and say Xiqi has become too hostile for me, despite having killed your father, I am still a formidable warrior—if you don’t hold a grudge and employ me, I could accomplish great deeds?"

He sighed; ever since Yin Jiao became the Holy Emperor, even Zhaoge has become a place of tigers and wolves for him.

"I can’t go with you. If I hadn’t met you, I might still be an ordinary person who would grow old in a few decades. But now, I too have become a cultivator, and things might change."

This was Deng Chanyu’s final answer.

Nezha thought to himself that the might of the Heavenly Dao is mysterious and unfathomable. Even he, being outside the Heavenly Dao, deeply felt its influence. How much more so would someone of this world who is bound by the Heavenly Dao, which continually restores itself? How could anyone escape it?

He lifted his head and saw Deng Chanyu’s eyes, realizing that her resolve was firm. He didn’t say anything further.

To change that outcome, he would have to kill Earth Traveling Sun.

Earth Traveling Sun.

Right now, all the treasures in Feiyun Cave of Jialong Mountain are still in Ju Liusun’s possession, so Earth Traveling Sun is not a threat.

But the kid has an adept Earth Walking Technique, which is quite troublesome. Unless Nezha learns Ju Liusun’s Earth Pointing to Steel Talisman, he can’t ensure Earth Traveling Sun won’t escape.

Or.

Ambush.

Use speed to instantly kill him.

Thinking of this gave Nezha chills.

Currently, Earth Traveling Sun is just an ordinary Taoist in Feiyun Cave of Jialong Mountain, honest and upright, not having committed any misdeeds, and hasn’t even met Nezha.

If he kills him, then what difference would his name "Nezha" and the name "Feng Xiaonian" whom he had killed earlier have?

Deng Chanyu felt she definitely couldn’t go with Nezha.

Though Nezha had once been a figure in her youthful dreams, things are different now.

She had just learned that the young man before her had grown into an adult, married, and had children, no longer the youth she once met.

"You’re drunk," Nezha said with concern in his eyes.

"Perhaps," Deng Chanyu’s eyes sparkled, "Ever since stepping into the Golden Core Realm, I haven’t been drunk. But today, meeting old friends after so long with uncertain future meetings, it’s a good reason to get drunk."

Hearing this, Nezha also laughed. He raised his cup and said, "Then tonight, let’s not leave until we’re thoroughly drunk."

"Not until we’re thoroughly drunk."

Under the moonlight, the two drank together. Although their bodies couldn’t really get drunk, they were still drunk as mud, laughed heartily, and when the laughter ended, it was time for departure.

Deng Chanyu said, "Visit me often."

"Certainly."

Nezha turned into a red light that shot towards the sky. When he passed through the window and landed in his inn in Lingquan Town, he found someone already waiting for him in the small room.

"Long time no see."

The person wore a mysterious smile.

Nezha felt the same way as Deng Chanyu. In this darkness, until the person stood right in front of him, he couldn’t sense the other’s presence.

If the person hadn’t spoken, Nezha would have thought it was a wardrobe before him, not a living person.

Sometimes he also thought, perhaps living so long, humans were no different from the stones on the ground.

Thinking of this amused him.

Because this world is incredibly magical and disregards ’science’. Here, stones are not ignorant and unfeeling. With enough fate and fortune, they might become someone like Shi Ji.

Shi Ji.

Bi Yun.

Cai Yun.

His thoughts wandered endlessly but ultimately lasted just a moment. He lifted his head to see the face of the person before him.

His heart chilled for a moment and then calmed. Nezha bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior. It’s great to see you safe and sound since we parted in the Fir Forest."

The person was none other than Lu Ya.

Nezha thought he indeed should have arrived, though he appeared sooner than expected, and he hadn’t expected Lu Ya to come looking for him.

Though his actions were outside the Heavenly Dao, he wasn’t discreet. Finding him wasn’t difficult with effort.

Lu Ya said, "Hehe, it’s not yet your turn to worry about me. Your cultivation level has advanced quickly and solidly, far stronger than those in the Chan Sect who rely on Spirit Treasure Immortal Pill for forced enhancement. However, having obtained the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit, this was to be expected."

Nezha replied, "Thanks to Senior’s blessings."

Lu Ya then asked, "Is Zi Chen’s Sky Ruler in your possession?"

Lu Ya’s eyes were like torches. Nezha felt as if he were entirely seen through by those eyes, and at this moment, the usually lively and clingy Zi Chen was completely hiding, utterly silent.

He could only truthfully answer, "That’s right."

"That’s good. Once your cultivation level rises higher and you truly grasp the power of the Holy Artifact, I fear even I won’t be able to handle you."
