The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

With his supply of radiance dwindling, and still needing to demonstrate Dao techniques for Feng Wei, Chen Dong had no choice but to push his deductions as hard as he could.

Fortunately, demonstrating the Dao techniques didn't tax Chen Dong's mind. He only needed to start and stop the process. Along the way, Chen Dong also gained a great deal of insight into the Dao techniques himself.

Demonstrating the techniques for Feng Wei was essential. It wasn't just a matter of keeping his promise to her, but more importantly, a way to keep her placated.

This period of peace lasted for two months. Just a few days into her comprehension of the Fifth Dao Technique, Feng Wei received a summons from her sect. Since the order only called for True Disciples, she couldn't very well refuse and thus departed.

Li Zhixuan's injuries also completely healed after these past few months of recuperation.

After another ten days, Li Zhixuan finally couldn't take it anymore and asked Chen Dong, "How much longer will it take you to repair this Realm Passage? Hiding out here to cultivate is great and all, but we have to constantly worry about Feng Fu showing up out of nowhere. This feeling of being on pins and needles is unbearable!"

Chen Dong said seriously, "Soon. In two months at most, I can complete the deduction for the Array!"

"Another two months? We've been here for almost four months already! If this isn't going to work, we should just find a different Realm Passage. Let's make a play for the one at Liucheng Sect or Black Dragon Sect!"

Chen Dong asked, "Are you confident you can defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Li Zhixuan fell awkwardly silent. Though he was the Strongest Daoist, there was still a significant gap between him and a Nascent Soul expert. It was hard to say what the situation was at the other sects, but one thing was for sure: any functional Realm Passage would be guarded by someone at the Nascent Soul Stage.

'Perhaps staying here really is the best option.'

Chen Dong hadn't been lying. He had already deduced ninety percent of the Array, leaving only the final ten percent. The only difficulty was that he was running low on the Six Paths of Radiance in his sea of consciousness. He would have to deduce the next five percent on his own, and only then could he rely on the Six Paths of Radiance for the final stretch.

At his current skill level, he was already equivalent to a Tier Five Array Master. In the field of arrays—and especially spatial arrays—he could be called the foremost expert in the Wangyou Realm.

The moment their conversation ended, they exchanged a vigilant look.

Their Divine Senses both detected someone arriving on the mountain peak, and it wasn't Feng Wei.

Chen Dong whispered, "Zhang Jun!"

At the same time, Li Zhixuan said, "Feng You!"

The two arriving on the peak were none other than the Daoist of Qixia Sect and the Yun Gu Daoist.

Li Zhixuan asked frantically, "What do we do now?" He had barely finished speaking when he added in a harsh whisper, "Damn it, they've found us!"

Chen Dong had already taken out Li Zhixuan's Transmission Talisman, but he put it away again.

If the others hadn't spotted them, the two of them could have teleported away and returned after their visitors left.

But now that they were discovered, their only option was to fight. Otherwise, if word of their location got out, they would soon be facing a Nascent Soul Great Power.

The two had arrived too suddenly, and with Zhang Jun's Divine Sense being so strong, their discovery was inevitable. Even with their physical appearances disguised, a single sweep of Divine Sense was enough for recognition.

Chen Dong said coldly, "We'll each take one. Finish them quickly!"

Li Zhixuan nodded. "Zhang Jun is the stronger one, so I'll take him. You just try not to die!"

'In his eyes, while Chen Dong was mysterious and unpredictable, he was still only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Anyone who became a Daoist was no pushover. Chen Dong was guaranteed to lose against either of them; it was only a matter of time. One-on-one, Li Zhixuan was confident he could defeat, or even kill, one of them. But he couldn't guarantee victory in a one-on-two fight. The only way to win was for Chen Dong to stall one of them long enough for him to secure victory and then come to Chen Dong's aid.'

'In Chen Dong's eyes, this was a battle against time. Only by killing both of them as quickly as possible would they have a shred of a chance to finish the Realm Passage. If they got bogged down or fought to a draw, it would mean defeat.'

His voice preceded him. Feng You's booming laughter echoed from outside the hall. "AHAHAHA! Li Zhixuan, I never thought you'd be hiding here!"

To protect the Realm Passage, Chen Dong and Li Zhixuan instantly flashed outside the hall.

At that moment, Zhang Jun was in the middle of explaining, "True Disciple Feng Wei has been cultivating here. I never expected Li Zhixuan to hide here after she left!"

Feng You said with contempt, "No need for explanations. I'm not saying I doubt you. A strand of your soul is still in my father's hands; you wouldn't dare betray us!" After speaking, he looked toward Chen Dong. "Isn't that the kid you brought from Qixia Sect? What's he doing here?"

Zhang Jun shook his head. "I have no idea. I only brought him up the mountain as part of the plan to attack Yun Gu Sect. After Yun Gu Sect was taken down, I stopped paying attention to what happened to him."

Hearing this, Feng You glanced at Chen Dong as if he were a stray dog and barked, "You, scram! We'll deal with you after we capture Li Zhixuan!"

'A mere Foundation Establishment Stage punk wasn't even worth his notice.'

Watching Chen Dong get belittled, Li Zhixuan felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He chuckled, gloating, "He actually looks down on you!"

Chen Dong's brow furrowed. "Stop wasting time!" he said coldly.

"Right, right!" Li Zhixuan said quickly. His gaze instantly sharpened. He formed a seal for his Sword Technique, and an azure Spirit Sword materialized, hovering by his side.

A ball of True Fire appeared in Feng You's hand. He said coldly, "Let's take down Li Zhixuan together. I'll give you the main credit for it!"

Zhang Jun nodded emphatically and cupped his fist. "Thank you, Young Master!" Then, with a swipe of his storage ring, a Two-Handed Warhammer appeared in his hand.

'Feng Fu had all but unified the Wangyou Realm. No matter how much he might look down on Feng You in his heart, his fear of Feng Fu forced him to swallow his pride.'
