Chapter 536: Chapter 533: Terrifying Fear

```html

Chen Zhongming was at a loss and in despair.

After everyone discussed the misfortunes that befell their respective sect’s experts, they all felt somewhat ashamed.

After a while, seeing that Chen Zhongming still hadn’t spoken, they looked at each other in confusion.

Chen Zhongming suddenly realized, ”Where is Mr. Zhao?”

Everyone turned their heads to look around.

They discovered that indeed someone was missing, it was Zhao Shenggu, the Great Grandmaster from the Demon Heart Sect.

”This...”

”Why hasn’t Mr. Zhao come?”

”Maybe he suddenly changed his mind and decided not to come?”

”That’s possible.”

Zhao Shenggu, as a Great Grandmaster, was curious about how he promised to partake in the assassination despite not being at the end of his lifespan.

Now it seems, he probably was just obstinate, and in the end, regretted it, so he simply didn’t come.

”Mr. Zhao wouldn’t do that.” Chen Zhongming shook his head.

He didn’t believe Zhao Shenggu was the kind who was obstinate yet cowardly, with a tough exterior but weak inside.

He was a ruthless person, not only being ruthless to others but equally ruthless to himself.

Since he promised, he would never go back on his word.

Everyone shook their heads endlessly.

”But Mr. Zhao just didn’t come, surely he couldn’t have lost his way?”

”Or maybe, something unexpected happened?”

”What unexpected event?”

”...Could he have fallen in Yujing City?”

”Hiss—!”

Several people gasped simultaneously, their expressions turning grim.

They exchanged glances, suddenly feeling this possibility was very high.

”Could Mr. Zhao really have met with an accident?”

”...I’ll go find out.” A middle-aged man stood up.

”It’s Mr. Feng from the Secret Shadow Sect, finding out information should be no problem.”

”Mr. Feng, you really intend to go into the city?” Someone shook his head, ”Are you daring enough to enter now?”

The middle-aged man, Feng Rui, said solemnly, ”I’m quite familiar with Mr. Zhao, I know he has a scar on his arm.”

”Then...”

”I’ll go take a look at the White Bone Tower of the Purple Sun Villa.”

”...How about going together?”

”Be careful even when checking the White Bone Tower.” Someone suggested, ”Many went to see it and ended up in the White Bone Tower themselves.”

”That guy should have already left.”

”Who knows, what if he’s guarding near the White Bone Tower?”

”He would definitely do such a thing!”

The surrounding people discussed fervently.

Some advised him not to go, intending well, while others, with a mindset of watching a spectacle, urged him to take a look.

They also wanted to go but dared not to, it was best to have a brave person like him to take a look.

Chen Zhongming observed coldly, sneering in his heart, finding it extremely disdainful.

Being individually defeated by Chu Zhiyuan wasn’t unjust at all, even at this point, they couldn’t forget their internal strife!

Thinking of this, he said solemnly, ”Mr. Feng, I’ll go with you.”

”Much appreciated, Mr. Chen.” Feng Rui nodded readily, ”Shall we leave now?”

”Let’s go!”

Chen Zhongming glanced at the crowd, ”Mr. Feng and I will return within an hour, please wait a moment.”

”Be careful, Mr. Chen.”

”If you sense anything amiss, leave immediately, do not hesitate.”

”Naturally.” Chen Zhongming gave a slight fist salute and floated away.

Feng Rui hurried to catch up.

Chen Zhongming took out a string of Black Pearls from his sleeve, gently removed one, and handed it to Feng Rui, ”Mr. Feng, take this, and he won’t find you.”

”...Thank you, Mr. Chen.”

Feng Rui believed Chen Zhongming wouldn’t joke about his life with him, so he accepted it.

Upon receiving the Black Pearl, a subtle aura suddenly flowed into his palm and then swept through his body.

He frowned, focusing to look inward, but found nothing unusual.

He remained wary of Chen Zhongming.

No matter which sect’s expert it was, he didn’t let down his guard.

”Mr. Feng, what do you think about Mr. Zhao...?”

”It’s probably ominous for him.”

”Hmm—?”

”I understand Zhao well, he’s enough ruthless and cold-blooded, but he’s absolutely a man of his word. Since he agreed, he would never back down.”

”...Hopefully not.”

”If Zhao is gone as well, should we still carry out the assassination?”

”As long as we can gather twelve people, we attack!”

”Even if it’s just you as a Great Grandmaster, you would still attack?”

”Yes.”

”Actually, there are many opportunities to strike, doing it in Da Meng is the same, anyway, he won’t return for a while, we can prepare leisurely.”

”...In Da Meng, he might destroy the Main Altar there.”

Feng Rui said, ”How could he possibly know the location of your sect’s Main Altar?”

”If he can locate our Da Jing’s Main Altar, he can find Da Meng’s Main Altar.”

”But it takes time, right?”

”Mr. Feng, don’t you want to assassinate him?”

”If we join forces with Da Meng’s experts, that would be the best, now we have been slaughtered to the point of losing much of our Primordial Energy.”

”We’re scared to death of him!”

”...Yes.” Feng Rui nodded helplessly, ”You can see it from everyone’s expressions.”

Chen Zhongming felt desolate in his heart.

He couldn’t help but want to laugh.

This is what Evil Sect experts are like, truly laughable and pitiful. At this point, they’ve already been scared to death and dare not fight Chu Zhiyuan anymore.

”He carries the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant!”

”Even with the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant, we can’t snatch it from him.”

”Don’t even want the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant?”

”...Instead of snatching it from his hands, it’s better to let someone else take it from him and then go seize it.”

”Heh! Haha...”

Chen Zhongming suddenly let out a strange laugh.

Feng Rui looked at him and shook his head.

Chen Zhongming laughed heartily, ”Fear him like a tiger, with trembling courage!”

Feng Rui sighed, ”Isn’t he terrifying?”

”Being afraid of him, can you escape?” Chen Zhongming stopped laughing, ”You can’t escape, so you might as well fight, instead of living in fear, it’s better to have it out!”

”Why not live a few more days if you can?”

”...”

Chen Zhongming was unexpectedly speechless.

——

The two arrived outside Purple Sun Villa in silence, blending into the bustling crowd outside the villa.

Now outside the Purple Sun Villa, aside from the twelve White Bone Towers, it had faintly become a small marketplace.

With the flat plaza outside the villa as the center, small stalls of all kinds extended in various directions, offering food, drinks, and playthings, reaching all the way to the outer gates of South City.

People gathered in small groups, browsing these small stalls.

The twelve White Bone Towers glistened in the sunlight, looking quite terrifying.

But the people outside the villa weren’t afraid, instead, they felt a strange sense of security.

By now, the area outside Purple Sun Villa had already become a forbidden zone for the evildoers of Evil Sect.

They feared or perhaps didn’t want to see those White Bone Towers, feeling deeply humiliated, so they no longer came here.

Even those daring to come had to tuck their tails, not daring to expose themselves or act rashly.

Chen Zhongming and Feng Rui mingled among the crowd, looking at the White Bone Towers, especially the newest one.

Feng Rui looked for a moment and then turned to leave, with Chen Zhongming following behind.

His expression was calm, avoiding looking at Purple Sun Villa, showing no signs of anger or hatred.

Because this would draw Chu Zhiyuan’s attention, extreme caution was required outside Purple Sun Villa.

Once leaving the plaza, they walked two miles further, and both their expressions turned gloomy.

Seeing Feng Rui’s demeanor, Chen Zhongming knew he had seen Zhao Shenggu’s remains.

”Unexpected that Lao Zhao he...” Feng Rui shook his head, ”It’s too much injustice!”

A dignified Great Grandmaster, dying quietly like any other Innate, all perished silently.

This was too cowardly.

Chen Zhongming coldly said, ”I should have acted a day earlier!”

If he hadn’t been so hesitant, so cautious, Zhao Shenggu even in death wouldn’t have died so cowardly, so in vain.

”This is not to blame on you, Mr. Chen, who could have anticipated this move from him?” Feng Rui consoled.

”Therefore, he must die, otherwise, none of us can live!”

”...I instead feel, we indeed should go to Da Meng for help, they are even more cowardly.”
