Feng Shuran’s voice spread to every corner of Otefe, causing everyone to look up. All of them saw a beautiful woman in a white robe floating in the air with a cold look in her eyes as she stared down.
"An...an immortal! It’s an immortal!"
Nobody knows who shouted it first, but soon, the entire Otefe went into an uproar as everybody went on their knees and prostrated towards the sky.
"Greetings, great immortal!"
"Greetings, great immortal!"
"Greetings, great immortal!’
Countless voices cried out in a chaotic rhythm. The residents of Otefe were trembling and could only pray that the immortal didn’t wipe them out; her words just now sounded pissed.
In a particular street in Otefe, everyone here was also prostrating and saying the same thing with all their might. Everyone except Gu Chen and the nine men who originally wanted to rob him.
Gu Chen just stood there, speechless at Feng Shuran’s timing, while the nine men were currently pressed to the ground by Feng Shuran’s spiritual pressure and couldn’t even look up.
Feng Shuran had controlled the pressure to make sure they didn’t die immediately; she wanted to make them suffer, and the result could be seen from their anguished expressions and blood leaking from their mouths and noses.
They would have screamed, but currently didn’t have the ability as their lungs felt like they were being stepped on.
’This kid is related to an immortal?!’
Was currently what they were thinking about. All of them were already regretting their earlier decisions and wanted to beg for forgiveness from Gu Chen, but they couldn’t even move a finger.
Gu Chen looked up to the sky and watched Feng Shuran descend to stand beside him.
"You’re back," he said unhurriedly, not showing that he was displeased by her timing.
These were supposed to be his workout partners, but she just had to show up at this moment.
"Yes, Master. I apologise for taking longer than planned; they had already escaped, and I had to chase them." Feng Shuran said respectfully while cupping her hands towards Gu Chen.
Some of the prostrating residents looked up at this moment and were shocked when they saw the ’Immortal’ being so respectful to this handsome fellow.
The shock was even greater for the nine men on the ground; they were the closest and had heard Feng Shuran calling Gu Chen Master.
Master? Does that mean this kid is also an immortal?!
Sobs! Turns out their death was already guaranteed even before Feng Shuran arrived; they had been planning to rob an immortal!
Upon realising this, three of the men were unable to stop themselves from coughing up blood. The movements made their hearts explode under the pressure, and they died on the spot.
The death of the three attracted the attention of Gu Chen and Feng Shuran; they stared at the remaining six.
"Master, these bugs dared to disturb you while I was away. You must have spared them because you didn’t want to get your hands dirty. How should I deal with them?" Feng Shuran inquired while glaring at the remaining six, slightly increasing the pressure on them and causing their bones to crack.
Gu Chen felt embarrassed. Spared them? If he still had his strength, he would have slapped these people to death long before he left Feng Shuran even arrived.
He wasn’t as kind as he used to be anymore; he was just unfortunately weak.
"Deal with them however you like; I have something else to do. Come find me once you’re done." Gu Chen turned his head away and silently used the recall function of his base.
He disappeared without a trace the next second.
This shocked Feng Shuran and the people watching secretly.
Feng Shuran didn’t even feel any qi fluctuations when her Master disappeared; just how powerful was he?
Meanwhile, the surrounding people were spooked after confirming why Feng Shuran was so respectful to the young man.
He was really an immortal and an even stronger one!
As for the remaining six men, silent tears streamed down from their eyes. Yeah, they messed up for sure.
...
Meanwhile, Gu Chen appeared on a mountain peak after using recall.
An illusory golden dragon surrounded him and roared into the sky before disappearing quickly.
"!!!!" Gu Chen.
Was that the Gold tier spawn effect?
He didn’t have much time to admire it because he had forgotten about it temporarily; he would do so next time he teleported.
Pushing that to the back of his mind, Gu Chen looked around him.
Was this his organisation base?
In front of him was a building with its gates open, allowing him to see the spacious courtyard.
Behind him, however, were five other smaller mountain peaks.
Wait, aren’t those the mountain peaks of the Dae Qu sect?
Swoosh!!
At this moment, Feng Shuran arrived in the air above Gu Chen and dropped to the ground, right next to him. A surprised look could be seen on her usual calm face as she looked around.
"Master, is this...?" She didn’t finish her question, not knowing how to place it.
She wanted to ask where this new mountain peak came from. It obviously wasn’t here earlier when she came; it made the five peaks of the Dae Qu sect look small, so there was no way she could have missed it.
Was it a magical treasure, or did her Master move this mountain here while she was hunting the members of the Dae Qu sect?
Whatever the answer was, Feng Shuran was sure of one thing.
Her Master was extraordinary, just like she had expected!
Gu Chen looked at her before facing the courtyard behind them. Since Feng Shuran didn’t finish her question, he naturally wouldn’t go out of his way to answer.
How was he supposed to explain the sudden appearance of such a huge mountain peak behind the Dae Qu sect? He wasn’t a fan of telling lies...at least not if he didn’t have to.
"What do you think?" He suddenly asked as an idea came to his mind. The Dae Qu sect was no more, and their base was now behind the location of the former sect. Gu Chen felt it was a nice setting and wanted to know Feng Shuran’s opinion.
Feng Shuran looked at him and showed a thoughtful expression for a while before answering.
"It’s a good idea, Master. The Dae Qu sect was in charge of Otefe, and we can receive tributes. Also, when the Bloody Rose grows, the disciples can stay there and train."
Gu Chen nodded, satisfied that Feng Shuran had the same thought as him. No wonder she was able to become the leader of an assassin temple.
"I’ll leave this matter to you; come find me if you need anything." Gu Chen said and walked toward the courtyard.
"Really? Thank you, Master!" Feng Shuran said with bright eyes. She didn’t stick around and flew towards the five mountain peaks to see what was left behind.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen entered one of the rooms around the courtyard. It was already furnished when he came.
Gu Chen sat on the soft bed and opened his system.
