CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 203: THE SAINT BOWS

Chen Yan sneered, staring into Gu Jinjia’s eyes, "And you, you’re a fool."

Gu Jinjia was taken aback, then slapped himself, shaking his head, "I regretted it later, my mind was a mess at the time. It was probably the first time I encountered such a thing—and the Fierce Beast Race is our mortal enemy. Since he promised to take his own life, it was just an extra ten years to live.

Ten years of lifespan, to a cultivator, is but a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, if he can kill more of the Fierce Beast Race, it seemed like not a bad thing, I... I... I actually foolishly agreed to him.

After I agreed, it was as if I made a Heavenly Dao vow. So even though I’ve been annoyed all these years, I couldn’t lay a hand on him."

What a fool!

Chen Yan sighed.

He sneaked a glance at Gu Jinjia.

No wonder this uncle couldn’t compete with Young Lady Gu as the heir of the Gu Family!

Not to mention that their cultivation talents were different, and he was already weaker than Gu Qingyi in cultivation.

Just the way of doing things was exposed in this matter.

Lacking in spirit!

What if this matter was handled by Gu Qingyi?

With Gu Qingyi’s character, no matter what revenge obsession you have, if you got my brother killed, you go die!

Straight cut into two halves!

To hell with your obsession, if you have an obsession, cure it yourself!

Can’t cure it? Die!

Stop being a nuisance to others!

What vow to take down a thousand Fierce Beast Race heads!

What the hell, making yourself seem so tragic after doing something shameless?

If I want a thousand or two thousand of the Fierce Beast Race dead, I would damn well do it myself, by my own hands!

Why do you need to make such vows here?

—Even though Chen Yan had only known Gu Qingyi for a few months, he guessed that Gu Qingyi would have handled it like this if faced with such a situation!

And Gu Jinjia, although on the battlefield he seemed cunning and ruthless, decisive in killing.

When it came to significant matters, he appeared somewhat weak-hearted!

"Luo Shang is after your White Beast." Gu Jinjia frowned, "This person is obsessed, and as long as it benefits him in killing more of the Fierce Beast Race, he’s willing to do anything. I think it will be hard for him to easily give up on the White Beast."

Chen Yan sneered and recounted the encounter with Luo Shang after coming out of the Practice Workshop, then said, "He indeed didn’t give up, but Brother Jin Jia, I’m not you. If he dares to play tricks on me, I’ll turn against him immediately. When it’s time to kill, I won’t hesitate."

Gu Jinjia shook his head, "He doesn’t dare to harm you, either. When the Heavenly Dao vow was made back then, one of the vows was that in his lifetime, he would never again harm anyone from the Brotherhood.

If he breaks the vow and dares to act against you, he will immediately suffer from Heavenly Dao’s backlash, dying a terrible death."

Chen Yan felt relieved hearing this—Heavenly Dao vows are no joke, they’re more effective than anything.

However, he wouldn’t completely let down his guard.

Even if Luo Shang doesn’t personally go after Big White, he might incite others to snatch it from him—after all, in this lunatic’s eyes, as long as it benefits killing more of the Fierce Beast Race, anything can be done.

"If anyone else besides Luo Shang makes a move on your White Beast, you just tell me. In Snow Cliff Pass, the name Gu Jinjia is still worth something. Within the Immortal Army, if anyone dares to steal my brother’s private property, don’t blame me for turning against them."

After Gu Jinjia finished speaking, he exhaled, "Actually, that’s all I wanted to talk to you about today. I know you brought the White Beast back, so I’m giving you some reassurance. However... open enemies are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against. Keeping the White Beast in Snow Cliff Pass still draws attention, it’s best to take it away from here."

Chen Yan smiled.

"I originally planned to leave Snow Cliff Pass. After finishing my repairs and resting up, exchanging the bounty, and buying what I wanted, I’m planning to venture out and hunt again.

This time, I plan to venture deep into the Evil Land Mountain and stir up some trouble.

Going might take some time, we might not see each other for a while."

Actually, Chen Yan was lying.

He didn’t plan to go to the Evil Land Mountain again, but to return home.

Going back this time, who knows when he’ll return, it’s just an excuse.

Going to the Evil Land Mountain, traveling far, hunting deep in the Sea of Trees, going for a few months is commonplace.

Gu Jinjia heard this and frowned, "You want... to go to Evil Land Mountain?"

Chen Yan nodded.

Gu Jinjia said seriously, "The current situation doesn’t look right, I’ve heard from the Reconnoitre Army that the Fierce Beast Race is mobilizing on a large scale, and the undercovers sent by the Immortal Platform to the Fierce Beast Race in Evil Land Mountain have been reporting back, many of their village tribes are drafting warriors.

The next major battle is likely approaching.

Going to Evil Land Mountain now might be too dangerous!"

After a pause, Gu Jinjia advised, "If you don’t want to stay in Snow Cliff Pass, I can give you a recommendation letter, you can go to a major city behind the pass and hide for a few months, then return after the battle is over."

Chen Yan smiled and politely declined, "Fortune favors the bold, I’ll take Big White with me. In the wild, Big White is sharp, and I’ll be extra cautious, we won’t face too much danger."

Gu Jinjia saw he couldn’t persuade Chen Yan, knowing his sly and ruthless nature, similar to his own—in their past escape together, he had learned it well.
