Chapter 2489 - 1444:
Huang Chen was domineering beforehand, crashing into them several times.
Yet after they joined the Immortal Sect, they seldom met.
Especially before his death, and after dying, they hadn’t seen each other again.
No one expected to see them so many times in this Magical Treasure.
The old acquaintances who looked down on him in the past were now all more able than him.
Huang Chen was deeply envious and resentful, but there was nothing he could do, as his Soul Body hadn’t yet turned into an entity.
He must continue striving, like those Ghosts owning bodies, with the chance of becoming human once more.
At that time, he would be able to live like a human again.
The loneliness and solitude of these years bred hatred and regret, his heart was already blackened, and the setbacks had even smoothed some sharp edges.
The impulsiveness of the past was gone.
Also, because the impulsiveness and support of the past were absent.
Now seeing these people was as if not seeing them at all.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin had a woman by their side, so were they already married with children?
It seems many of their peers of the same age were already married with children.
As the heir of the family, others live so well while he lives so poorly.
A good number was completely ruined.
Huang Chen actually regrets, yet doesn’t regret the past struggles.
Who wouldn’t want to seize good things?
However, had he known the opponent had backing, he wouldn’t have seized personally nor let himself be found out.
...
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin could perceive a gaze of familiar hatred peering at them.
They thought it was those Ghosts.
Yet didn’t expect it was Huang Chen.
They hadn’t heard Huang Chen was inside this Magical Treasure.
His incident was known back then.
When Huang Family came again causing trouble, they knew.
Perhaps they obtained good things but couldn’t seize them, leading them to take refuge with Jiang Tang in resentment.
Those years, they guarded against Huang Family people.
But after they improved their strength, surpassing Huang Family people’s power, they no longer feared those Huang Family people.
If not for Ghosts continually invading, they would have long freed themselves to scour for Huang Family people.
Exterminate their family and clean them up.
Keeping these people is sooner or later a disaster.
Huang Chen knew nothing of the family situation, nor dared ask them.
He knew they were a rival team, unlikely to let him go.
Temporary retreat is not cowardice, but for future victory.
Huang Chen was not without impulse, from what city did he come? Seeing these people, asking for family news, and sharing his own news.
However..., it was merely a thought; Huang Chen’s selfishness prevented risking danger.
The people here are enemy’s subordinates; even with past acquaintance, environments change, people change, especially without childhood ties, there have been conflicts.
Huang Chen was previously ostentatious, being the heir of the Huang Family, why give face to others?
They were all competitors, certainly couldn’t be friends.
Huang Chen was proud at that time, as the young master of Huang Family, many families wanted to ingratiate and form alliances.
In the city, common folk, ordinary cultivators, small families, many sought refuge with either major clans or his family.
After all, they were of the same kind, sharing identical interests, and becoming companions.
Huang Chen’s lofty feeling existed until entering this Magical Treasure, becoming a soul being bullied, many ideas could not be realized.
But the arrogance persisted, he couldn’t ask the people here for help; seeing him might even gloat, might harm his soul.
Huang Chen dared not gamble; he didn’t know if, after his death, family would avenge, seeing enemies alive and well, would his family?
Unable to avenge?
Or willing but powerless, contemplating strategy, paths differ, these people constantly enhancing ability, maybe family strength grows too slowly for revenge.
As the enemy prospers, they struggle more.
Can I learn about how family in the city fares?
Huang Chen couldn’t imagine his family already relocated for refuge, avoiding those seen now, fearing actions against the family.
Huang Chen was unaware of his brother’s involvement leading the family down another path.
Huang Lei’s ruthless revenge made them seem traitorous.
Allying with traitors, not accomplishing much, but already scheming.
Huang Lei’s deeds were risk-filled, possibly plunging into deep abyss, connections with power, opposition to some, albeit secretive, overtly normal actions.
The schemes hidden, since his brother’s death, he became next heir, wielding influence, leading young family men.
The young family women, thought for marriage alliance, acted upon.
After relocating, fearing revenge, left and concealed family residence in a city once lived.
Surname unchanged, outsiders omitted past stories.
Huang Lei cunningly realized, now imperial governance or Cultivation World, many didn’t favor Saint Sect, even the emperor’s family.
In their eyes, mere ordinary figures.
Latest news came; a Ten Great Clans elder achieved Becoming a God.
World’s second Land God, first being their foe, indirectly causing his brother’s death. That person became a Deity, established a formidable organization.
Once sought disguise, name change, joining that so-called Saint Sect base, learning their skills.
Unfortunately, entry denied, unknown design aspects expelling disguisers.
Without clearing their base’s Formation, becoming a member was impossible.
Many similar faced people failed admission, rejected, could only leave quietly, unnoticed.
Seeming insignificant, lacked attention, care, or disregard.
Each time Saint Sect recruited, some were ordinary or formidable cultivators, crowds participated, the event everyone’s dream.
Upon learning a Ten Great Clans cultivator elder Becoming a God, joining Saint Sect.
Huang Lei became jaded, drinking moodily at home.
He was family’s strongest, thinking a powerful Swordsmanship could avenge, unaware...while believing in their Swordsmanship against some foes, surpassed.
This news was disadvantageous, survival compelled actions.
A Deity could destroy Cultivation World, many united cannot withstand.
Especially for small figures like them.
Those powerhouses didn’t reign as emperors, unconcerned, their clans held privileges in Cultivation World.
A word could rally many loyal, seeking alliance.
Huang Lei did consider joining their sect or family.
Years of effort yielded nothing, prompting today’s scheme, anxious over enemy strength, would plan succeed?
