Chapter 643: Journey to the Deadly Valley, The Struggle for the Great Way

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows and said.

“There are people in the world who do not rush through life; some do not wish to move forward. Their lives are very leisurely.”

“I know,” Fu Yao nodded and said, “Indeed, there are many people who live very leisurely lives because they have seen through life and d*ath and let go of their obsessions.”

“I can easily name several such individuals.”

“Take the former Wolf Emperor Wanyan Yue of Silver Moon Kingdom, Invincible Daoist Song Yuanshan of the Upper Clear Temple, and White-Haired Sword God Chen Shisan from one or two thousand years ago.”

“They indeed lived very leisurely lives, even unwilling to move forward.”

“The reason for this is that they have let go of their obsessions and seen through life and d*ath.”

“But you, Chen Changsheng, are different. Your obsession is greater than anyone’s, and you want to live more than anyone else.”

“In such a situation, if you live so leisurely and say you cannot prolong your life, would I believe it?”

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng fell silent.

“Yes, I want to live more than anyone else. I cherish every moment with them.”

“I am reluctant to leave those close to me.”

“Therefore, I will not give up on the Great Way. If Ziping truly has the ability to take it from me, then he may have it.”

“Logically, if I were in your position, I might also do as you do.”

“This perhaps verifies the saying, ‘The person who knows you best is often your enemy.'”

“Hahaha!”

“Chatting with you, Chen Changsheng, is always so pleasant. What should we do next?”

“With the overall situation under your control, I’ll be a hands-off manager.”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked in a certain direction and said.

“Have your people fabricate the illusion of Zhang Zhen’s d*ath. After Zhang Zhen arrives, the three of us will head to the Deadly Valley.”

“You just escaped from where? I was tricked by them, and this debt must eventually be settled.”

“No problem, it suits me perfectly!”

“Oh, by the way, when do you plan to k*ll me?”

“Sorry, although I really want to k*ll you, my rationality tells me I can’t.”

“That won’t do,” Fu Yao laughed and shook her head. “Only my d*ath can awaken Ziping.”

“If you don’t k*ll me, then I’ll force Ziping to k*ll me.”

“When something happens, I won’t take responsibility.”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s cheeks twitched.

“So, how do you want to d*e?”

“Ziping must witness it. If you prevent Ziping from seeing my d*ath, I’ll leave him something else.”

“Alright, I agree.”

“But have you considered that Ziping already knows what the two of us are planning?”

“I believe so, but knowing doesn’t matter. He will ultimately have to take this path.”

“The struggle for the Great Way is always about life and d*ath.”

With these words, Chen Changsheng did not speak further. The two stood silently, gazing into the distance.

…

In the Deadly Valley of the Four Directions Continent.

Looking at the valley devoid of grass, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue.

“Why has the Deadly Valley moved here? The environment seems worse than before.”

Hearing this, Fu Yao smiled and said, “It’s all your fault.”

“You escaped from the Four Directions Continent, which scared many people. Moving the Deadly Valley here was to form a bond with the Four Directions Continent.”

After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng nodded.

“It’s a smart move.”

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Zhang Zhen beside him.

“Remember, this place is the Deadly Valley, a very dangerous forbidden ground.”

“Inside the Deadly Valley, most spirits like to play dirty. When you reach the peak someday, you can try cutting down two of them.”

“After all, letting such trash live peacefully makes them easy targets for ambushes; I’m the prime example.”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Zhen surveyed the Deadly Valley ahead and then said seriously.

“What you said makes sense, but I don’t want to cut down two. I want to completely eradicate this place.”

“We have a transactional relationship. To outsiders, I’m your disciple.”

“If they have grudges with you, they won’t spare me either. Even a calculating person like you gets caught, so I’ll get caught too.”

“So, I plan to eliminate them once and for all.”

Facing Zhang Zhen’s words, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled almost to his ears.

“I support your idea.”

“But the Deadly Valley is ultimately a forbidden ground. It might be difficult to destroy it alone.”

“Not a problem. If I can’t do it alone, I can help you.”

“Lacking manpower in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, I’ll borrow people from other forbidden grounds. If I can’t borrow from others, I’ll use my old face to ask for help.”

“I can’t guarantee others, but I can definitely borrow people from the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground and Emperor Huangtian.”

“Right, Fu Yao?”

Hearing this, Fu Yao nodded with a smile, “No matter who attacks the Deadly Valley, I, Nalan Fuyao, will definitely lend a hand.”

As the three continued to talk, a voice finally emerged from the silent Deadly Valley.

“Undertaker, if you want to fight, just fight. Why scare us with nonsense?”

“The Deadly Valley does not fear anyone.”

Seeing someone speak from the Deadly Valley, the smile on Chen Changsheng’s face disappeared.

“At last, you’re willing to speak. I thought you were all mute.”

“A hundred years ago, you tricked me with the Four Directions Continent. I, Chen Changsheng, admit defeat.”

“But now I’ve escaped. Everyone knows the situation of the various forbidden grounds.”

“Stop pretending in front of me!”

Chen Changsheng’s mouth spewed venom like honey, his words making Zhang Zhen feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After a brief outburst, Chen Changsheng calmed himself.

“Everyone understands the situation. I won’t waste words.”

“Attacking the Four Directions Continent is already quite challenging. Adding the Deadly Valley will result in greater losses.”

“Stay far away now. I won’t dwell on past events.”

Hearing this, a cold laugh came from within the Deadly Valley.

“Hmph!”

“I thought you had some divine insight, but you’re just like everyone else.”

“If you want our help, kneel first.”

“d*mn it!”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s mouth again erupted in a flurry of words.

At the same time, the old sword behind Chen Changsheng slowly rose, held by a white-robed woman.

“Buzz!”

The supreme array was broken, and all defenses became meaningless.

A person soaked in a colorful liquid had their forehead instantly pierced.

Seeing this, Fu Yao narrowed her eyes and immediately used a great technique, grabbing both the person and the pool.

Seeing Chen Changsheng act proactively, the Deadly Valley immediately prepared to counterattack.

“Come over and try one of you!”

“Do you believe I’ll chop off your heads and use them as night pots?”

The white-robed woman vanished, and the old sword fell into Chen Changsheng’s hand.

Facing the rusty old sword, no one in the Deadly Valley dared to step forward, recognizing whose sword this was.
