Chapter 164: Chapter 105: Shen Feiyang: Because I Am Undercover

The two middle-aged men stood in front of a giant Qilin Statue, maintaining an eerie silence for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhengjie suddenly threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped it out viciously. Then, he looked up and said with a serious face, "Old Luo, can you tell me what it feels like to hold your own grandson?"

Hearing this, Luo Yang immediately revealed a blissful smile and said very proudly, "Then you’ve asked the right person. I have to say, the bond between a grandparent and grandchild is truly something special.

"When my precious grandson first learned to speak, the first word he called out was ’Grandpa,’ I..."

In the time that followed, Luo Yang cheerfully told Chen Zhengjie many amusing stories about him and his grandson. Looking at Luo Yang’s heartfelt smile, Chen Zhengjie’s eyes filled with envy. If not for that accident ten years ago, he might also be at the age where he could hold his own grandchild by now. Unfortunately, there were very few "ifs" in this world.

"...So, raising a grandson is a profound subject of study. I only recently gained some insights, and there’s still a lot to learn."

Just as Luo Yang was speaking enthusiastically, he noticed Chen Zhengjie’s desolate expression. He immediately realized his mistake. Wasn’t saying all this in front of Old Chen just rubbing salt in his wound?

Thinking of this, Luo Yang quickly consoled him, "It’s fine, Old Chen. You have to trust the methods of the Immortal Alliance. They will definitely be able to cure your daughter.

"When that time comes, you can be like me, holding a chubby grandson. No, wait, maybe it’ll be a granddaughter! Haha!"

Whether Luo Yang’s consolation worked, or Chen Zhengjie had figured it out himself, was unknown. After sighing, he smiled and said, "You’re right, Old Luo. There will always be a way to solve things."

"That’s right! I’m relieved you can think this way. I was really worried you’d drive yourself crazy overthinking it."

Chen Zhengjie nodded, then suddenly spoke up, "Old Luo, look over there. Is there some movement?"

Hearing this, Luo Yang, who was facing Chen Zhengjie, subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, but saw nothing. He asked in confusion, "Movement? I didn’t see any move—"

SHNK!

Before Luo Yang could finish speaking, a sharp Spirit Sword had already pierced through his chest.

Luo Yang turned his head, looking in disbelief at Chen Zhengjie, who was gripping the Spirit Sword. He grabbed the blade of the Spirit Sword with both hands, blood welling up in his mouth as if he wanted to say something to Chen Zhengjie, to question why he would do such a thing.

But perhaps out of guilt, Chen Zhengjie directly covered his mouth with his hand and forcefully twisted the Spirit Sword inserted into his body. This First Turn of the blade instantly destroyed Luo Yang’s heart meridian. Even though Luo Yang was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, under such circumstances, he was undoubtedly doomed to die.

Looking at Luo Yang’s complex gaze filled with anger and confusion, Chen Zhengjie said guiltily, "I’m sorry, Old Luo. I’ve tried. I’ve tried every possible method within the Immortal Alliance, but they were still useless.

"So... I could only choose to seek help from the Black Lotus Sect.

"I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhengjie abruptly pulled the Spirit Sword out of Luo Yang’s body and pushed him away.

THUD!

Luo Yang fell to the ground, copious amounts of blood continuously bubbling out from his mouth and chest. He stared fixedly at Chen Zhengjie. If looks could kill, Chen Zhengjie would have been killed countless times by now. Unfortunately, although he had the heart to pass on the news of Chen Zhengjie’s betrayal, the life draining from his body and his increasingly heavy eyelids undoubtedly told him that his time was running out.

Even so, Luo Yang was still prepared to do something. He used his last bit of strength to firmly grab one of Chen Zhengjie’s pant legs, seemingly not wanting him to approach the Qilin Statue not far away.

Feeling the movement on his leg, Chen Zhengjie looked down expressionlessly. He saw Luo Yang struggling to lift his head, mouth full of bloody froth, gritting his teeth as he said, "You... will regret this..."

"Regret..."

Chen Zhengjie looked at Luo Yang on the ground with a complicated expression. His gaze hesitated only slightly before becoming firm again. "Whether I’ll regret it in the future or not, I don’t know. I only know that if I can’t save my daughter... I will definitely regret it.

"Rest assured, Old Luo. As soon as I save my daughter and wake her up, I’ll personally go down to the underworld to apologize to you."

With that, the Spirit Sword in Chen Zhengjie’s hand plunged into his back once more.

SHNK!

When Chen Zhengjie pulled the sword out, Luo Yang finally stopped moving. The hand clutching Chen Zhengjie’s leg also fell completely limp.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhengjie took a deep breath. He then walked alone to the front of the Qilin Statue, took out an eerie mouse statue from his pocket, and muttered to himself, "Soon... This will all be over soon..."

As soon as Chen Zhengjie set the mouse statue down, it immediately came to life. It crawled onto the Qilin Statue and began to gnaw on it incessantly.

RUMBLE!

Almost at the exact moment the eerie mouse started biting the statue, the entire underground space began to shake. At the same time, dozens of Black Lotus Cultists, who had been lying in ambush in a sewer somewhere outside First High School, seemed to have received a message and immediately hurried toward their designated sewer locations.

The Missionary had already completed his task; the rest was up to them. It was time to go all out!

In the underground space of Luocheng First High School, Chen Zhengjie looked at the Qilin Statue, which had already been a fifth devoured, and knew his task was basically complete.
