Star Trace Gate

Chapter 767: Destined, Enemy Persuades to Leave

In the dark and elegant room of Ye Mansion, the dense flow of purple luck rose up, blowing on the weak candlelight, making it flicker.

The Little Bad King looked at Chu Jin with stern eyes, his fighting spirit surged like a mighty river, and his aura rose to its peak.

Since joining Jiuli, the grievances between him and the Xianlan Sect have long been irreconcilable, and the other party's desire to kill him completely has never diminished in the slightest.

Today, he took great pains to set up this situation just to fight with Chu Jin here, in order to avenge the other party's multiple sieges and the death of Brother Long!

However, before the other party's fifth-grade warriors joined the battle, he did not want to ask King Yan and the Witch to help, but wanted to use his own strength to have a fair fight with the genius who ranked second in the Dragon and Phoenix List!

He wanted to tell the Xianlan Sect, and also tell the Sect Master Wuchen who claimed to practice "the Way of Virtue", that this opportunity for the Great Emperor could not be wrong. The reason why it did not choose your disciple was actually for no other reason, simply because your disciple was not good enough!

Ten steps away, Chu Jin was also full of fighting spirit, looking at Ren Ye with bright eyes.

He was so excited that he felt his blood boiling unconsciously.

The emperor's tomb was opened, and the descendants of the ancient emperor appeared in the world. He went to a meeting in Xiliang alone, overwhelmed the gathering of geniuses, and made a bloody comeback in Luanping City, capturing the Three Golden Flowers and Lu Tou alive, with an invincible record.

He was like a mountain that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on the heads of the Jiuli geniuses. It seemed that only by killing this local peerless talent could they get the opportunity to become the emperor.

The metaphor of endless years hidden in this seems to be revealed in this era.

The Jiuli Emperor had also fought against the Ancient Emperor, and now the younger generation of geniuses in this land seemed destined to meet the descendants of the Ancient Emperor in the battle for the great road.

This is like an inevitable cause and effect...

Therefore, the young man in front of him who was blessed with good fortune was not just Chu Jin’s opponent, but the “destined enemy” of all the outstanding talents in the entire Jiuli Continent.

Chu Jin looked at Ren Ye with bright eyes, and suddenly he felt the blood in his body boiling even more intensely. The two treasures in his consciousness space, the strange divine pearl and the Xiangguo Bell, also shone with dazzling light, ready to move.

A fateful battle that shakes the world seems to be about to begin at this moment...

In the space of consciousness, the yellow paper talisman that Master Wu Chen gave to Chu Jin was also emitting a bright light.

At this moment, if he wanted to, he could easily ignite the Taoist talisman, allowing his master, who was thousands of miles away, to sense his breath instantly.

Want to fight?

Right now!!

"brush!"

Thousands of rays of light surged out, and the Human Emperor Sword flew out from his forehead and landed in the hands of the Little Bad King.

He looked at Chu Jin and said, "Although I am unconventional and sometimes shameless... I dare not insult the title of Human Emperor. The King of Hell and the Witch will not help me in this trap, so you don't need to worry! Call out your treasure, come on!!"

All the hatreds gathered at this moment and surged forward, which made Ren Ye's fighting spirit surge to the extreme!

"brush!"

Suddenly, Chu Jin's rising aura dissipated without any warning, and his fighting spirit disappeared. In an instant, he became restrained, like a mortal who had not yet been enlightened.

This sudden scene made Ren a little stunned and surprised.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Jin, and said in a voice that was neither happy nor sad: "Why did you suddenly lose your aura?! Haven't you been looking for me in secret these days, and using all means to force me to show up, clamoring to fight me fairly?!"

Chu Jin, whose aura had dissipated, suddenly gave up his perception of the yellow paper talisman in his consciousness space.

He took a steady step, smiled and praised: "You are worthy of being the descendant of the Ancient Emperor. Although you are only a third-rank person, you still have the courage to fight a fourth-rank person fairly! No wonder the Ancient Emperor's inheritance, after countless years of hiding the world, finally chose you."

Faced with such sudden compliments, Ren Ye naturally would not pay any attention to it. He was just suspicious of Chu Jin's performance.

He had endured all the humiliation and been sneaked all the way here, and was even blackmailed for nearly five million star sources. Wasn't that just to make himself show up?

If he dares to come, he must have a backup plan, there is no doubt about that.

But why did he suddenly lose his aura at this moment and lose all his fighting spirit?

In the dim room, Chu Jin looked at Ren Ye calmly and gently, and said softly: "Sooner or later, you and I will have a life-and-death battle, but it shouldn't be here, and it shouldn't be at this moment."

Ren Ye frowned at him and asked softly, "Why?"

“Because here, at this moment, you and I are just chess pieces on the chessboard. The victory or defeat is not up to you, nor is it up to me.” Chu Jin’s voice was filled with endless helplessness. He shook his head and sighed, “When you embark on the path of cultivation, you will have to travel tirelessly through thousands of secret realms, risk your life countless times, and receive countless honors. But in the end... you can only be a chess piece of others... Are you willing to accept such a fate?!”

Ren was slightly startled and said softly, "Maybe you are a pawn, but I am not."

"If you are not in Jiuli, you are not a pawn; but once you are here, no matter how talented you are, you cannot escape the fate of being used and manipulated by others." Chu Jin looked at him and said word by word: "A sixth-rank Yama Lord cannot protect you; the evil ghost sect that has secret plans cannot protect you either."

"If there is no external enemy, the people here will scheme against each other and cheat each other, wishing to eat each other alive and share their flesh and blood with others. But if there is an external enemy, they will unite and face the enemy together."

"You have never been fighting against a Xianlan Sect, but a group of bloodthirsty ancient sects and clans."

"If there is a battle between you and me today, you will definitely not be able to leave Xiliang City."

Chu Jin sighed, looked at Ren Ye calmly, and said word by word: "You are a great man. You really shouldn't die here, and you shouldn't become a chess piece."

At this point, Ren had already understood what the other party meant.

In today's transaction, it seems that Chu Jin is the only one involved, but a group of ancient clans and tribes have already planned everything in the dark corners, waiting for Ren Ye to appear, so that they can easily take this chess piece off the chessboard.

However, the person who played this game of chess must be the Xianlan Sect behind Chu Jin. As the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Xianlan Sect, why did he suddenly disrupt the chessboard at the critical moment?

Is it because of his pride that he cannot accept such an unfair life-and-death battle; or is it because he is angry and really does not want to be used as a bait and pawn?

Ren Ye suddenly felt that the Chu Jin in front of him, dressed in snow-white clothes, broke the inherent impression he had of him.

He is really not that sharp, nor does he have that sinister feeling of calculating everything. Instead, he exudes the magnanimity of a gentleman and a sense of helpless loneliness.

"brush!"

Unconsciously, the Little Bad King also lost his fighting spirit.

Although he could hear the helplessness in Chu Jin's words, he didn't know what the other party's situation was, so he just responded directly: "Since you already know that you are a chess piece on the chessboard, why don't you just obey? Instead, you insist on being a piece of chaos?! Aren't you afraid that those bloodthirsty people...will eat you up in anger?"

"Ah."

Chu Jin walked with his hands behind his back, smiled and shook his head, saying, "I was born in a remote farming village in Xianlan Wucheng. The children of my generation in that village, since they were born, had to follow the path that their parents had already walked in their lives. Eat, grow up, be enlightened, become supernatural beings, and then travel outside, going through untold hardships, escaping death, paying heavy taxes, and struggling to survive. If they die in the secret realm of a foreign land, their descendants will be enlightened soon... and so on, over and over again. If they are lucky enough to live to the end of their lifespan, even if they successfully lie in the coffin and turn into a ghost to stare at the world, what they can see is their descendants kneeling in front of their tombstones, each of them looks exactly like themselves when they were young...!"

"With only the inheritance of being a slave, how can one defy fate and change one's destiny?!"

"Do you still remember what we believed in when we were sixteen? We believed that the sky is high and the birds fly freely, and my fate is in my own hands. Now that I am twenty-six, what do I believe in?"

"Perhaps belief is...a person's fate, determined by heaven."

Chu Jin smiled helplessly: "Some people are destined to have a few meals to eat and a few bridges to cross in their lives since they were born."

Ren Ye listened carefully to the other party's words, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why are you saying this?!"

"Heh." Chu Jin smiled but did not answer.

Ren also followed up and said for him: "You chose to be a chess piece because you don't want to accept your fate?! Right?"

"It's not my choice, but even if it's just a desperate struggle, I want to try it!!!"

When he said this, Chu Jin's eyes sparkled.

Ren also followed up the conversation and asked, "What if he was shattered to pieces?"

“Then let my soul return to the farming village, and dream back to the time when I left home at the age of six, and play the song ‘Young man’s aspirations should be higher than the sky’!” Chu Jin’s hair flew, and his face revealed a frank look.

"Are you here today to persuade me to leave?" After a moment of contemplation, Ren Ye bent down and sat down.

Chu Jin looked at him: "Will you leave? Not leave here, but leave Jiuli Continent."

"hehe."

Ren Ye just smiled but didn't respond directly.

"If you want to leave, today is our farewell." Chu Jin said lightly, "Whether I end up in pieces or survive, I will always remember that Jiuli once had a brilliant descendant of the Ancient Emperor."

"But if you didn't leave, it was fate, and you can't blame others."

"When the Emperor's Tomb is opened, you and I will have a life-and-death battle under the watchful eyes of the public."

“If you die that day, I will let your best friend carry your body away. But if I die, hehe, it will be the fulfillment of what I said today. However, a hundred years later, there should be people who remember that there was Chu Jin from Xianlan Sect who fought against the descendant of the Ancient Emperor…!” Chu Jin said in a relaxed tone: “This can also be regarded as another way to leave a name in history.”

"It sounds quite exciting." Ren had already seen that Chu Jin had come here alone today following the route he had set, and had not thought about fighting with him.

“Don’t think about changing people.” Chu Jin’s eyes were like torches, and he reminded him succinctly: “After the five or six-year-old child of the Xing family was brought from Xiliang to the Xianlan Sect, his eldest brother Xing Wu went up the mountain on his own.”

Ren Ye, who was still pondering Chu Jin's behavior, suddenly froze in place after hearing these words.

"After entering the mountain, Xing Wuyin activated the blood attraction, proving that he was the one with the blood attraction who had obtained the opportunity of becoming a great emperor, and that he possessed a special blood attraction. The elders in the sect attached great importance to this, so they asked Immortal Master Xun to go ahead and take him into Xing Mountain to look for opportunities."

"Today's situation was caused by the joint pressure from Xiliang, Qingyao, Yumen, the Lu family, and the leaders of the nine routes in Fengzhou on our Xianlan Sect. According to the agreement, Master Xun should have shown up with the two children, but for some reason... they failed to show up on time."

"They have been on the road for five days. This Xingshan Mountain is full of dangers. You can guess what happened."

Chu Jin looked at the confused Ren Ye, paused for a moment, and then replied word by word: "Descendant of the Ancient Emperor, whether you leave or not, when the Emperor's Tomb is truly opened, I will keep the appointment on time and wait for you in the Xingshan Mountain!!"
