Chapter 2758
“This old fellow doesn’t have the ability and guts to make a move on the disciples of the Celestial Nation. Just because he was on par with the disciples of the Xing Nation and obtained the quota, he wants to refine himself into a puppet to satisfy his perverted desire for revenge. What a pervert!” Xiao Chen cursed in his heart.
That old fellow, Zhou Hongyi, completely treated him as a substitute for the disciples of the Celestial Nation.
One had to admit that this old fellow was quite pitiful!
He didn’t have the guts to make a move on the disciples of the Celestial Nation, so he could only find a substitute.
“It’s best if the person who planted the seed personally removes it. Otherwise, it’ll be too troublesome in the future!” the Celestial Emperor beside Xiao Chen said slowly.
“The Zhou Clan … probably won’t agree so easily, right?” Xiao Chen said helplessly after a moment of silence.
“Then we’ll have to see if they think face or life is more important!” The Celestial Emperor’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Xiao Chen felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. From the looks of this person, if the Zhou Clan and Zhou Hongyi didn’t agree, would they really fight to the death with the Zhou Clan for him?
This was a battle between Celestial Emperors. If they really fought with their lives on the line, there would definitely be casualties. If these Celestial Emperors were to die here just for him, Xiao Chen felt that his life wasn’t worth such a high price.
“Senior, why don’t we just do this? There’s no need to fight so much for this brat. Actually, my soul has already been damaged. Even if I forcefully remove the Soul Seed, it’ll only make it a little deeper. I’ll just have to slowly recover in the future!” Xiao Chen said after a moment of consideration.
His soul had already been shattered into nine pieces. Although it didn’t seem like much, Xiao Chen still felt that this was not normal. Since he was already in such a state, there was no way he would be afraid of getting hurt when he tried to forcibly extract the soul seed.
“Eh?
You said that your soul was damaged? ”
The Celestial Emperor’s eyes instantly lit up. He stared at Xiao Chen for a moment before saying, “No. From what I can sense, your soul is in a very good state!”
“Ah?” This time, it was Xiao Chen’s turn to be surprised!
Could it be that this Immortal Emperor expert couldn’t see that his soul had already been split into nine parts?
“Senior, are you saying that my soul is intact?”
Xiao Chen used a more euphemistic way to probe. He didn’t dare to say it directly. His soul was broken into nine pieces.
“Yeah!
There are no injuries! ”
This Immortal Emperor expert also had some doubts. “Your soul is very strong. Logically speaking, after Zhou Hongyi tortured you for such a long time, you should have suffered some damage. But you are surprisingly well!”
“Then it seems that I was overthinking. I thought that my soul had been severely damaged by Zhou Hongyi’s torture during this period of time!” Xiao Chen found a very lame excuse and ended the topic.
Actually, there were too many loopholes in his words. He was very clear about the state of his soul. What he was saying was that he didn’t sense anything about his own soul. Luckily, this immortal emperor didn’t think too much about it.
Otherwise, if he really dug deeper, it would be hard for Xiao Chen to answer!
However, this Immortal Emperor expert’s words made Xiao Chen understand one thing. That was, his soul had been broken into nine parts. This matter seemed to be undetectable to others. “It seems that only I can sense it.
“Seems like I’m the only one who can sense it. But then again, it makes sense. Zhou Hongyi, that old freak, tortures me every day, so he must know the state of my soul very well. But he hasn’t shown any reaction for the past few days, so he probably didn’t realize that his soul had been broken into nine pieces. But he’s still fine. Otherwise, with that old freak’s personality, he would have looked into it a long time ago!” Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
Previously, he was worried about what would happen if Zhou Hongyi found out. But now, it seemed that Zhou Hongyi shouldn’t be able to sense it.
As for Donghuang Zhong?
“Xiao Zhong should be able to see it because he has a special connection with me. But others can’t see it. This is also a good thing for me. Otherwise, if others find out that my soul has been broken into nine pieces and I am still alive and kicking, it will definitely cause a great commotion and trouble!” Xiao Chen thought and then let out a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t know why others couldn’t sense that his soul had been broken into nine pieces, there were too many strange things that happened to him that he couldn’t control. Xiao Chen was already used to these things.
As long as there was no obvious harm to him, he couldn’t be bothered to look into it.
But in this situation, Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed.
In fact, he felt that even if he forcibly removed the soul seed, with the current state of his soul, he shouldn’t suffer too much damage. There was no need to continue to stay here and fight with the Zhou Family.
But in the eyes of this Celestial Emperor powerhouse, his soul was very intact and didn’t want him to be injured. Therefore, he insisted on letting Zhou Hongyi personally remove the soul seed.
Although this was indeed for his own good, Xiao Chen couldn’t say it out loud. This feeling was indeed very uncomfortable.
After all, the other party was thinking about his future, so he insisted on staying to get an answer from the Zhou Family. He even said that he wouldn’t stop until he was dead.
If he insisted on leaving, it would seem that he was letting down the other party’s good intentions!
The other party came to save him and risked his life. He couldn’t be too tactless, right?
Therefore, after two more attempts to persuade him to no avail, Xiao Chen could only give up helplessly.
This Celestial Emperor powerhouse was indeed sent by Chen Jian and he was thinking of him. He said that he absolutely couldn’t bring him back injured, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to answer to Chen Jian.
Since things had come to this point, what else could Xiao Chen say?
And through their conversation, he now knew the reason why the other party attacked the Zhou Family.
Initially, they really wanted to sneak in and save him. However, no matter what, the Zhou Family was a powerful family with a peak Celestial Emperor. They had set up the entire family residence to be airtight. If they sneaked in, they would be easily exposed. They didn’t have much confidence that they could bring him away quietly. Once they were exposed, they would still have to fight with the Zhou Family.
In addition, they sensed that Zhou Hongyi had planted a soul seed in Xiao Chen, so they simply attacked openly.
The other party didn’t hesitate to attack a prosperous family for him. At this point, besides feeling grateful, Xiao Chen could only listen to this Celestial Emperor powerhouse’s arrangements.
Of course, he also knew the name of this Celestial Emperor powerhouse. It was a rather poetic name: Yuan Shuang!
