Chapter 572 - How Did You Escape?

After opening his eyes with some difficulty and seeing Tang Thirty-Six's concerned face, Chen Changsheng felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, after seeing that Zhexiu's perpetually indifferent face was actually showing some concern, he couldn't but be a little shocked and then get the impulse to laugh.

His injuries had not been light—his sea of consciousness had been shaken, resulting in his unconscious spell.

It wasn't because of the internal injuries he had received when he had used the Thousand Li Button and collided against the Heavenstone array enveloping Mount Han, but all because of the Demon Lord's distant finger.

At the time, the Demon Lord, standing by the stream and separated from him by a vast distance, had pointed his finger.

He had used the Yellow Paper Umbrella to block this Qi, but he had not been able to block the monstrous might contained within.

”You actually woke up so quickly?”

Tang Thirty-Six was very surprised to see him awake so soon and leaned forward to help him up.

Zhexiu commented, ”He really did wake up quickly.”

Sitting against the head of the bed, Chen Changsheng looked at them and said, ”Why can't I see any excitement on your faces?”

Zhexiu ignored this question while Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”The Elder of Heavenly Secrets personally came to see you and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, so there was nothing for us to be worried about.”

Chen Changsheng thought of those two worried faces he saw the moment he woke up and knew that they just didn't want to admit it. He would not needle at them, instead saying, ”The Elder of Heavenly Secrets confirms that there's nothing wrong with me, so that means that there really is nothing wrong with me? You should invite Principal Mao to come and see.”

At present, Mao Qiuyu was Archbishop of the Hall of Illustrious Persons, but they were used to addressing him as principal.

Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”The Elder of Heavenly Secrets calculates the stars above and rivers below and he has never once been wrong. If he's says there's nothing, there's naturally nothing wrong.”

Chen Changsheng fell silent, then said, ”Then did he calculate that we would encounter these things?”

With these words, the room became abnormally silent. Only the faint sound of voices in the distance could be heard.

This peace and silence were because they all felt that all the things that happened after entering Mount Han reeked with the stench of plotting and conspiracy, but the primary reason was that they had all recalled the middle-aged scholar.

The picture of the middle-aged scholar holding his hands behind him as he gazed at the persimmons had left far too deep of an impression on them.

They knew that it would be very difficult to forget that scene for the rest of their lives.

After quite some time had passed, Tang Thirty-Six whispered to Chen Changsheng, ”You're sure…it was that person?”

Without speaking, Chen Changsheng slowly nodded his head.

Tang Thirty-Six lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, powerless to speak.

He was the sole son of the Wenshui Tangs, not even fearing the Tianhai clan much. It really could be said that he feared nothing in the heavens and earth, the many stories that had taken place in front of the Orthodox Academy proof of this. Yet when he thought of the middle-aged scholar's identity, even he felt fear in his heart.

”When I was very small, I had a dream.”

A voice broke the downcast mood in the room.

Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six looked over.

Zhexiu looked at the other two and expressionlessly continued, ”It was to kill him.”

Chen Changsheng was shocked speechless. To aspire to kill the Demon Lord from such a young age, this was truly too…

”Formidable,” Tang Thirty-Six said to Zhexiu with heartfelt admiration. ”You're far too formidable.”

”But…that's just a dream.”

Zhexiu thought of the scene he saw at the mountain path, his complexion somewhat pale. ”I never imagined that I would see him with my own eyes.”
