Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Disciple of Tianhe
"Boom——"
The sky suddenly darkened, as a giant hand nearly large enough to block out the sun, formed a seamless web of death with the five Sword Qi peaks, and pressed down directly upon Luo Sen and the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Luo Sen and the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect were immediately terrified. They hadn’t expected that even after they had given in, Zhu Fei would still refuse to let them go.
In an instant, their fear was replaced by a survival instinct, which then turned into the most intense resentment.
Unfortunately, emotions like anger and hatred could not enhance their power.
Facing Zhu Fei’s deadly strike, the two failed to hold out even for a breath before their bodies were directly shattered, and their Primordial Spirits were simultaneously obliterated by the sword light and palm imprint!
Seeing Luo Sen and the three others get killed by Zhu Fei in such a short period, the Heavenly River Pill King and some others were momentarily stunned.
They stared dumbly at Zhu Fei’s figure standing in the void, and for a moment, no one spoke.
It was not until Zhu Fei turned around and flew over to the Heavenly River Pill King, greeting him with a smile, that the Pill King suddenly snapped back to reality.
Without any hesitation, the Heavenly River Pill King immediately clasped his fists towards Zhu Fei, speaking with a slightly respectful tone:
"Zhu Fei, dear friend, regarding what happened just now, I truly thank you. If it weren’t for your help, my Yue Dan Pavilion likely wouldn’t have escaped this disaster."
Seeing the Heavenly River Pill King being so polite to him, Zhu Fei was momentarily at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He gently rubbed his forehead, glanced at Qiu Ruoxue, who was speaking to Chen Xuan, and then said to the Heavenly River Pill King:
"Heavenly River, as I’ve already mentioned before, there’s no need for you to be so polite to me about this incident. After all, we’re old friends, aren’t we?"
Zhu Fei’s words left the Heavenly River Pill King stunned, as he couldn’t understand what Zhu Fei meant by "old friends," since he couldn’t recall meeting Zhu Fei before.
As if understanding the Heavenly River Pill King’s confusion, Zhu Fei didn’t rush to explain but instead smiled faintly:
"How about this, Heavenly River, why don’t you arrange for us to find a suitable place to talk? There are some matters I’d like to explain to you slowly."
Seeing Zhu Fei’s request, even though the Heavenly River Pill King was filled with questions, he couldn’t easily refuse Zhu Fei’s face. After a brief hesitation, he nodded directly:
"Alright, in that case, let’s go to the VIP hall."
...
Several hours later, led by the Heavenly River Pill King, a group of Yue Dan Pavilion Elders looked at Zhu Fei with faces full of shock and disbelief.
Especially the Heavenly River Pill King, usually so composed, was now visibly excited.
Just moments ago, Zhu Fei had revealed his identity in front of the Heavenly River Pill King and others and explained his current situation.
The Heavenly River Pill King, as the former Deputy Pavilion Master of Yue Dan Pavilion and Zhu Fei’s past life friend and right-hand man, could naturally distinguish the truth of Zhu Fei’s words.
Now that he had confirmed Zhu Fei’s identity, the excitement in his heart was naturally understandable.
Looking at the excited Heavenly River Pill King, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.
How many years had it been since his past life to the present, the time that had passed on the Five Mountains Continent was likely no less than a millennium?
The old acquaintances and familiar environments from the past were now, fearfully, very few and far between.
While Zhu Fei was reflecting, he saw that the Heavenly River Pill King had slowly recovered from his earlier emotions.
He looked at Zhu Fei, speaking sincerely:
"Pavilion Master, ever since your disappearance, my Yue Dan Pavilion has only appointed acting Pavilion Masters and has not established a true Pavilion Master. Now that you have returned, shouldn’t we...?"
Before the Heavenly River Pill King could finish, Zhu Fei interrupted with a smile:
"Heavenly River, you should understand, that even though I retain the memories of my past life, the Zhu Chen from back then has long completely disappeared from this world, and I’ve essentially separated my past life from the present.
So, now I am simply Zhu Fei, and not the Zhu Chen of the past. Hence, there’s no need to bring up the matter of the Yue Dan Pavilion Master again."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s response, the Heavenly River Pill King, along with the other Yue Dan Pavilion Elders present, were all momentarily stunned.
They hadn’t expected Zhu Fei to so decisively reject the Heavenly River Pill King’s invitation.
The Heavenly River Pill King’s expression was complicated, but the disappointment on his brow was evident to everyone present.
Noticing the Heavenly River Pill King’s disappointment, Zhu Fei thought for a moment, then said:
"Heavenly River, I won’t hide it from you. I have already established a sect over on the Xuanhuang Continent. If you’re willing, you can lead the entire Yue Dan Pavilion to join me on the Xuanhuang Continent."
Saying this, Zhu Fei suddenly noticed a beautiful young woman among the crowd, who was pouting with a dismissive look directed at him.
Zhu Fei was momentarily taken aback, then couldn’t help but laugh a little.
"Heavenly River, if I’m not mistaken, this must be your current Direct Disciple, Luo Ling, right?"
Zhu Fei asked the Heavenly River Pill King, pointing at the girl in a blue dress, with a beautiful appearance and Perfect God Transformation cultivation.
The Heavenly River Pill King was also taken aback, not understanding why Zhu Fei would suddenly mention Luo Ling at this moment.
However, when he turned to see Luo Ling’s current state, his old face immediately darkened.
"Luo Ling! What’s with that expression? Being so disrespectful to Master Zhu, do you have no concept of hierarchy?"
The Heavenly River Pill King was a very traditional person and disliked those who do not respect hierarchy.
Seeing his disciple’s expression towards Zhu Fei, he instinctively thought Zhu Fei might be displeased with her.
Luo Ling was unaware of what Zhu Fei had just done, and she was annoyed by Zhu Fei’s earlier refusal of her master. Her usual somewhat spoiled nature only made her more displeased with Zhu Fei.
Thinking that Zhu Fei was just trying to merge the Yue Dan Pavilion into his sect, like those other sects, her response inevitably came out somewhat strong.
"Master, it’s not that Ling’er disrespects hierarchy, but some people’s actions are hard for Ling’er to accept. I beg your pardon, Master."
"Hiss——"
Hearing Luo Ling’s words, everyone present gasped in shock.
No one expected Luo Ling to have the nerve to openly confront Zhu Fei.
After all, he can practically eliminate those at the Middle Stage of Great Success in an instant.
The Heavenly River Pill King’s face turned grim, and he glared at Luo Ling, pointing his finger at her angrily: "Insufferable! Absolutely insufferable!"
He was about to raise his hand to teach his disciple a lesson when Zhu Fei’s amused voice suddenly reached the Pill King and everyone else.
"Haha, Heavenly River, there’s no need for that, is there?"
